"You are the one who should know your place!" Leon scoffed and leaped into the air to dodge the attack. Then, he turned to land a powerful kick that aimed for the guard's neck. "How swift!" The guard was shocked by the powerful true energy Leon wielded. He initially thought that he could apply great damage with the element of surprise. To his bewilderment, Leon was swift enough to dodge his attack and launch a counterattack. Leon's movements were smooth with no excessive moves, which surprised him. The guard was still on the momentum of his initial attack and had no time to dodge. At the very last moment, he rolled off the ground to distance himself from Leon. However, Leon's attack had a wide range and the guard was one step too late. Though he managed to avoid taking the blow on his neck, Leon's true energy struck in in the chest and he was instantly sent flying. Baam! Paling, the guard spat blood and sustained internal injuries like the other guard. "What? How is
"Great! Mister Wolf, we didn't know that you were in the Advanced Overlord State! We seemed to be worrying over nothing!" ... Renee, Jensen, and Ariella were all overjoyed and the concern in their hearts vanished instantly. Through the wave of true energy around Leon when he fought the guards, they could tell that he was in the Advanced Overlord State. Though they did not know how Leon managed to defeat the guards easily when he was on the same level as them, they knew one thing: Felton was being stalled and his guards were defeated. So long as Leon took this opportunity to run, Felton would not be able to do anything and all issues would be resolved once Leon got away. "No! No way! This isn't real!" Contrary to their reaction, Jacob, who was waiting for Leon to embarrass himself, froze and stared at Leon in disbelief. Ever since he was introduced to Leon, he was told that Leon was a mere vice president of Cynthion Group and he looked down on Leon because of that. Even
"Let me see what you can do! Take this!" Taking the opportunity of the distance between him and the other two, Felton leaped into the air and darted toward Leon, intending to destroy Leon himself. "Mister Fermer, you need to get past me if you want to hurt Mister Wolf!" Jensen was the first to react. Not daring to delay, he hurried over and stood before Leon. He then launched a powerful punch at Felton to stop him from harming Leon. "Get out of the way!" Felton scoffed and sent his true energy at Jensen. "Mister Daglesh, let me help you!" Renee knew that Jensen could not withstand Felton's attack on his own and hurried over to him without hesitation. She launched a powerful blow that combined with Jensen's true energy as they fended off Felton's attack. Baam! Following a loud noise, the combined attack launched by Jensen and Renee met Felton's. As expected, Felton was far too strong and the two were yet again sent flying away. Thankfully, their combined attack successfu
"Damn it! Am I going just to let him get away?" Felton's heart sank when he heard the two urging Leon to run. His resentment toward Leon would not allow Leon to get away, but with Renee and Jensen in his way, he could not spare the time to get to Leon. If Leon took this opportunity to run, he would only be able to do a little apart from watch. Hence, he was utterly frustrated, but rendered helpless. However, what happened next shook them all. "Run? That won't be necessary! Miss Morrison, Mister Daglesh, thank you, but Felton won't be able to harm me. The two of you should get out of the way. Leave him to me." Leon shook his head. With his overall strength reaching the Advanced Almighty State, even the Western Boss himself would not be seen as a threat, let alone his son, Felton. Ever since he met Felton at the bouquet, Felton acted arrogantly. Apart from undermining Leon, his actions now escalated to violence. This provoked Leon and he decided to teach Felton a lesson.
"What?" "Has he gone mad?" ... Renee, Ariella, Jensen, and Jacob were all shocked. They all knew that Felton was in the Intermediate Emperor State and amongst younger martial artists, only Hugo could rival him in strength. It was no exaggeration to say that even Hugo would struggle to win against Felton. However, Leon demanded to fight Felton and even claimed he could win with just a finger. There was no way that they would believe what he said. Hence, they assumed that Leon was so frustrated by Felton's provocation that he started losing control in an attempt to mock Felton. Other than that, they could not think of a reasonable explanation. "How arrogant! Let's see how you are going to destroy me with a finger! Renee, Jensen, get out of my way!" Felton laughed angrily and snapped at Leon's contemptuous attitude. Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he extended both his arms and sent two waves of overwhelming energy at Renee and Jensen while they were distract
"Bring it on!" Leon scoffed. Ignoring Renee's words, he took a step forward and pointed a finger ahead. Executing the Earthly Plunder, he faced Felton's attack head-on. With his current level of strength, he merely needed to use his spiritual energy to handle Felton, who was in the Intermediate Emperor State. However, since Felton was rather formidable, Leon decided to train himself with Felton to enhance his familiarity with the sage technique. "It's over. Hugh has lost his mind!" Renee, Jensen, and Ariella were all stunned. Renee, who just reminded Leon to dodge the attack and wait for her rescue, did not expect Leon to ignore her warning and face Felton directly. To make matters worse, Leon was doing so with just one finger. This was practically suicidal. If he were not mistaken, Leon would at least end up suffering grave injuries once Felton's attack reached its target. There was no other way this would end. Instantly, all three of them were overwhelmed by concern
Baam! Following a deafening sound, Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed with Felton's attack and it tore through Felton's defense almost immediately. Leon's spiritual energy slammed against Felton and before he could react, he was sent flying into the distance. As soon as he landed, Felton felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat a mouthful of blood. Paling, he lay sprawled on the ground and suffered from severe injury. "What?" "Was Felton defeated?" "How is this possible?" ... Renee, Jensen, and Ariella were all shocked and they rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They thought that Leon would surely perish for fighting Felton. To their bewilderment, Leon was unscathed and even injured Felton with a finger. This was unbelievable and they were all shaken to the core. "No, no way! This isn't real!" Jacob was extremely shaken as well. He widened his eyes as he looked at Leon and Felton, who were defeated, with disbelief. He knew that Felton already reached the Intermediate
"That's wonderful!" "Hugh, we didn't think you could defeat Felton!" "You were great!" ... Recovering from the initial shock, Renee, Jensen, and Ariella were both overjoyed. Though they did not know how Leon defeated Felton, they knew that Leon had to be in the Advanced Emperor State or above for him to defeat Felton with just a single finger. It was no wonder that Leon insisted on staying to fight Felton. He was not being reckless or foolish but had the power to win. The three of them underestimated Leon. For Renee, she did not think much of Leon since she was only told that he was a vice president of Cynthion Group. It was not until Leon purchased fifteen rare herbs with 287 million and presented multiple types of alchemical pills that she started respecting him. Now, upon learning that Leon was talented in martial arts as well, she realized that she did not know half of what he was truly capable of. Indeed, Felton and Hugo were two of the most brilliant martial
"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
