"Great! Southern Boss, so you've been hiding your ace card all along! You truly are well-prepared!" Devon and the Hiltons were all overjoyed. They all knew about the Demon Lord, and that he was in the Advanced Almighty State; he was close to reaching the Peak Almighty State and there was not a single person in the southern region that could defeat him. With the Demon Lord's help, Leon and Arthur would surely perish and the others could seize the opportunity to eliminate the Thompsons. The despair they felt earlier was now replaced by joy and surprise. "What?" Contrary to their excitement, Leon and the Thompsons were all devastated. Arthur heard from the Dragon Guards not long ago that the Demon Lord arrived at the southern region and had his eyes on the Thompsons. At the time, he did not believe that and thought that it was odd for the Demon Lord to travel to the southern region from the central region all of a sudden. At this moment, he finally realized that what the Dra
"Not bad! You sure have everything planned out!" Leon laughed angrily. To deal with the Southern Boss, Leon sought Alfred's help in sending a few Dragon Guards over for safety measures. However, he did so in a rush, and the Southern branch of Dragon Corps was situated in a distance from where Leon was, so the Dragon Guards were likely still on the way to their rescue. Once the Dragon Guards arrived, Leon would be able to join forces with them and eliminate the Demon Lord. "Loen, I have to admit that you are a talented young man for reaching the Intermediate Almighty State at your age. However, it was foolish of you to stand in my way, which means you have no choice but to die!" The Southern Boss said proudly as though he already won the battle. "You think you're going to win just because the Demon Lord came to help? What a joke!" Leon scoffed and stared at the Demon Lord and Southern Boss contemptuously. Though the Dragon Guards were yet to arrive, Leon still had one trick up
"As expected of the Demon Lord!" "Indeed! He's one of the top three criminals in this country!" ... Angus and the Thompsons gasped and their hearts sank at the sight of Arthur being defeated. They all knew how powerful Arthur was as he long reached the Advanced Almighty State; still, the Demon Lord managed to defeat him directly with a single wave of his arm, which proved just how terrifying the Demon Lord was. "Damn it!" Arthur’s expression darkened. He initially thought that his power rivalled that of the Demon Lord and it was at this moment that he realized he underestimated the Demon Lord. If even a formidable martial artist like Arthur struggled to fight the Demon Lord, Leon, and the other Thompsons would not stand a chance. Instantly, the hope that rose within the Thompsons over Leon's earlier victory was replaced by despair. "Great!" "Leon and the Thompsons are doomed!" ... Contrary to the Thompsons' despair, the Hiltons and Spears were excited. From th
"There's no need for us to retreat! Elder Thompson, you don't have to worry. The Demon Lord isn't that scary! Just get back and stay away from me. I'll take care of the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss!" Leon said. The Potential Energy Force he possessed was a wide-range attack and he needed to time it perfectly so that he could strike both the Demon Lord and the Southern Boss with a single blow. So long as he managed to injure or kill one of them severely, the Thompsons would be able to turn the tables; however, Arthur was standing close to him at the moment, so Leon did not launch the Potential Energy Force out of fear that he would accidentally injure Arthur. "What?!" Both Arthur and Angus were stunned. Though Leon was a formidable young man with a great many tricks up his sleeves, they all just witnessed how he was injured by the Southern Boss earlier. The Demon Lord was even more powerful than the Southern Boss, and it seemed clear to everyone that Leon had no means of p
Stunned by the impact, Leon paled and puked blood as he was forced to back away, before collapsing onto the ground. Thankfully, the Mirror of Sovereign helped to fend off most of the Southern Boss’s true energy; Hence, he did not suffer major damage despite having taken the attack face-on. Still, the pain in his chest was evident and he realized that his injuries worsened. "Mister Wolf, you can't defeat the Southern Boss! Take Yuri and run. If you don't run now, it'll all be too late," Arthur was devastated when he saw Leon injured once again. He desperately wanted to help Leon and buy him time to escape, but was far too occupied with the Demon Lord to be of any help. Hence, he could only urge Leon to run while fighting the Demon Lord. If Leon refused to leave, both he and the Thompsons would all meet their demise today. "Old Thompson, enough blabbering! You should worry about yourself!" The Demon Lord scoffed and his attacks rained down upon Arthur. Arthur's power could
"Baam!" Under the terrified looks around them, the attacks clashed. The Demon Lord's attack instantly tore through Arhtur's Stormy Punch and slammed hard against Arthur, sending him flying into the distance. A sharp, agonizing pain pierced through Arhtur's chest, and blood oozed from his lips. Thankfully, his power was comparable to that of the Demon Lord and his Stormy Punch cancelled out most of the Demon Lord's Dragon Breath. Though he suffered injuries from the attack, none of his vital organs were harmed. "Old Thompson, prepare to die!" The Demon charged toward Arthur, who was still on the ground, to kill Arthur on the spot. "Damn it!" Arthur paled. He desperately wanted to run, but was so severely injured that he could barely move. He watched as the Demon Lord's figure approached, unable to fight or dodge. At the same time, the Southern Boss was also launching a powerful strike at Leon. "Die! Divine Kick!" The Southern Boss sneered evilly and launched a powerful
"Are those poisonous daggers?" The Southern Boss gasped and recalled that Leon had poisonous daggers apart from his defensive tool. Not daring to risk getting poisoned, he waved his sleeves to strike the daggers down. Taking this opportunity, Leon stepped forward and launched the Phantom Steps, appearing before Arthur within the blink of an eye At the same time, the Demon Lord's attraction was inches away from striking down on Arthur and Leon grabbed Arthur at the very last moment and dragged him out to dodge the attack. "Great! Mister Wolf, come back here with Uncle Arthur and we can all escape together!" Angus shouted in excitement. They all thought that both Leon and Arthur were doomed, yet to their bewilderment, Leon evaded the Southern Boss's attack and even managed to rescue Arthur from the Demon Lord in time. It was a miracle that all the Thompsons were thrilled. Since Leon and Arthur were safe, they only needed to join the others and make a path through the enemie
You want to take us on by yourself?" "How arrogant!" Both the Southern Boss and the Demon Lord were enraged by his arrogant tone. The Demon Lord ranked third place on the criminal list and prided himself on all the deaths he caused; any other martial artist would have run away without daring to look him in the eyes before him, yet not only was Leon not scared at all, he also claimed that he could defeat both the Southern Boss and the Demon Lord contemptuously. As a man known for his ruthlessness, the Demon Lord could not stand it any longer and gritted out viciously, "Since you seem like she's desperately trying to end your own life, I'll make that happen for you!" He ignored Arthur and launched a powerful attack on Leon, preparing to take care of Arthur after he killed Leon. "Me, too! Die, Leon Wolf!" Equally enraged, the Southern Boss shouted. He knew that Leon was swift and possessed defensive tools along with poisanders. Worried that the Demon Lord might not be able
"Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor
"Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body
"Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf
"Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m
Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre
"You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa
Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie
"Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific
"How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
