"It's true, but Mister Jaxon is severely injured and I have to treat him immediately without further delay." Leon nodded. "Great! Hang Jaxon over and we will take him to the nearest hospital!" The Feaks snapped out of it and were all overjoyed. Since Jaxon was in a critical situation, they intended to send Jaxon to the hospital immediately and could not be bothered to consider if Leon was the culprit. "Kid, since you said you aren't responsible for this, you are coming to the hospital with us! Once Jaxon gets better or wakes up, we will let you go once we confirm that you are not the culprit!" Roman added and turned his sharp gaze at Leon. He knew that Jaxon might be alive, but that did not mean Leon was not the person who attacked him. So long as Leon remained the suspect, he could not let him go. Hence, Roman intended to take Leon to the hospital and once Jaxon regained consciousness, they would find out if Leon was responsible. "No! Mister Jaxon is severely injured and t
"Nonsense! We are Jaxon's family and we won't ever harm him. You, on the other hand, keep stopping us from sending him to the hospital. What exactly are you plotting?" Romeo roared. Like Roman, he also did not believe in Leon's skill and since he firmly believed Leon to be the culprit, there was no way he would hand Jaxon over to Leon. "Yeah!" "Kid, if you want to prove your innocence, follow us to the hospital. Don't stop us from sending Jaxon to help!" "Once the doctor cures Jaxon, he will tell us the truth!" ... The two elders agreed along. Seeing how stubborn they were, Leon was furious. "Why you..." They first falsely accused him of killing Jaxon and the guards, and now, they were preventing him from treating Jaxon. Though Leon was often quite tolerant, he was starting to lose patience. For a moment, he even thought of handing Jaxon over to the Feaks and let them reap what they sow. However, he knew he could not do such a thing. Jaxon's survival was the pri
"Elder Feaks, just remember that you asked for this. Since you refuse to see reason, don't blame me for what I'm about to do!" Leon narrowed his eyes coldly and took a step forward to launch the Earthly Plunder. A powerful stream of energy gathered around his finger and was sent toward Roman. "How arrogant. Know your place, kid!" Roman laughed angrily. Based on the fight between Romeo and Leon, Roman could tell that Leon was merely in the Advanced Emperor State. Though that might be too powerful for Romeo to handle, Leon could not rival Roman in terms of power. As the leader of the Feaks, Roman had long reached the Semi-Almighty State and was even close to reaching the Almighty State. Leon, who was still in the Emperor State, could not dream of comparing to him. However, Leon arrogantly tried to face him head-on. Considering how Leon was stopping them from rushing Jaxon to the hospital, he assumed that Leon was up to no good and did not intend to show mercy. With this t
"Take this!" Leon extended another hand and launched yet another Earthly Plunder at the speed of lightning. "What? That's impossible!" Roman was stunned when he sensed Leon's attack. He initially thought he could easily defeat Leon with a single blow and did not hold back at all. To his bewilderment, his attack did not hurt Leon at all. Not only did Leon fend it off, but he also took the chance to counter. This had completely caught Roman by surprise. He wanted to dodge, but was still in the momentum of his initial attack. At the very last moment, he gathered the remaining true energy within him and backed away from Leon's Earthly Plunder with his superior speed. "Running so soon? You won't get away!" Leon scoffed and saw right through Roman's intention. He took a huge step forward and launched the Phantom Steps. His attack got closer to Roman as he charged forward at a godly speed. No matter how hard Roman tried, he simply could not get away from Leon. "Damn it!" Rom
"Elder Feaks, you can't defeat me. I'll give you one last word of warning. Mister Jaxon is severely injured and it would be too late by the time you get him to the hospital. I'm the only one who can save him. I would like for you to cease this nonsense or you will just make a fool of yourself," Leon said calmly with his hands behind his back. He knew that this was merely a misunderstanding and held back on Roman. Had he not done so, Roman would have suffered far more than mild injuries. However, if they refused to see reasons and delayed the perfect time for Jaxon to be revived, Leon had no choice but to exert all his strength. "Why you... Don't get smug, kid! You only managed to defeat me because you have a treasure in your possession. That's not real strength." Roman scoffed. When he faced Leon directly, he could see that his true energy tore through Leon's defense and struck him in the chest. However, Leon remained unscathed and did not even back away. The only possible ex
"You morons. Do you have a death wish?" Leon laughed angrily. He had shown mercy to the Feaks repeatedly, hoping that they would eventually see reasons. However, not only did they not appreciate it, Roman was now teaming up with the elders to go against him. This was far out of line and Leon had completely lost patience. "Enough with your nonsense, kid! You have one last chance to hand Jaxon over and follow us to the hospital. That way, we won't harm you. Otherwise, you shall suffer the consequences," Roman roared. "Not possible! I'm not going to hand Mister Jaxon over to you just so your stupidity can get him killed. Just give up!" Leon said with determination. "Very well! You asked for this. We will take you down if that's what you want!" Roman laughed angrily. Though it was unfair for them to gang up against a young man, Leon kept trying to stop them from sending Jaxon to the hospital and out of concern for Jaxon, they could not hold back any longer. "Romeo, leave this
Baam! Baam! Baam! Following a few deafening sounds, the Feaks all caved under the power of the attack and were all sent flying. As soon as they landed, they paled and spat blood from their mouth, before slumping onto the ground. "I'm finally rid of you stubborn old men!" Leon sighed a breath of relief. Hurricane Break was his most powerful attack and it required a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. He had already used the Earthly Plunder and Phantom Steps a few times when facing Roman. After using these methods consecutively, he had used up over half of his spiritual energy. Thankfully, the Hurricane Break effectively defeated them and without their interference, Leon could finally rest assured. "How could this happen?" "Who is this kid?" ... Watching as Leon stood handsomely before them, the Feaks were all stunned and none of them could maintain their composure. They had all thought that Leon was only in the Advanced Emperor State. Though he possessed a power
"It's simple. I'm going to seal your power!" Leon said calmly. He knew that the Feaks had stubbornly assumed that he was the one who murdered the guards. To prevent them from causing further trouble, he intended to seal their powers to make sure that he was uninterrupted later on. With that thought in mind, he arrived before them and tapped on a few points on their bodies to seal their power. "What? Aren't you going to kill us?" The Feaks were shocked. "Why would I kill you?" Leon was amused and continued, "I've already told you that I'm not the killer. It was someone else! Believe whatever you want. Once I revive Mister Jaxon, you will eventually learn the truth!" "What..." Roman was rendered speechless and exchanged shocked looks with the others. They had all assumed that Leon was a killer and after getting defeated, they thought that they would get killed just like the guards did. However, to their surprise, Leon merely sealed their power and did not harm them. This
"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
