Jaxon coughed and slowly regained consciousness. "Jaxon, are you okay?" The Feaks were all shocked and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They all thought that Jaxon was killed by Leon. To their surprise, Leon was telling the truth and he cured Jaxon. This was a miracle and they would never believe this to be true if they did not see it themselves. "This is great!" Overjoyed, the Feaks gathered around Jaxon and carefully helped him up from the ground. "Grandpa, Dad, why are you here? Where am I? How did I get here?" Jaxon asked weakly as he took in his surroundings. After getting attacked by the Southern Boss, he passed out immediately and did not know what happened afterward. He woke up to his family surrounding him on top of a mountain, so he was confused. "Well," Roman and the others were rendered speechless. They now knew that Leon took Jaxon to the mountain to cure Jaxon, which meant that Leon could not be the culprit. They all wrongfully accused Leon. Feeling emb
Once he was in front of Leon, Roman fell on his knees. "Mister Wolf, I'm sorry. I was wrong for accusing you of something you didn't do. I apologize. At the same time, I would like to thank you for saving my grandson. We won't forget what you've done for us," he said sincerely. Leon was kind enough to treat Jaxon, yet they kept attacking Leon and attempted to kill him over false belief. Thankfully, Leon was formidable and managed to fend them off, or he would have been killed by now. If that happened, the Feaks would have taken an innocent life and gotten Jaxon killed in the process as well. Thinking back to it, Roman felt chills down his spine. It was Leon's kindness and tireless effort that saved Jaxon. To express his guilt and gratitude, he let go of his pride and kneels to seek Leon's forgiveness. "That's not necessary! Just don't keep accusing me of murder. I don't need your apology!" Leon scoffed and walked away with a dark expression. He was still human with feel
In the next moment, Romeo walked over to Leon and kneeled beside Roman. Seeing as the two of them kneeled, the two elders followed as well. Though this was mainly Romeo's fault, they helped and were equally guilty. Upon learning the truth, they both felt ashamed and wished to be forgiven. "What are you doing?" Leon's expression darkened. Though frustrated that he was falsely accused, he could not stand having elderly men kneeling before him for forgiveness. Instantly, he could not decide how he felt. "Mister Wolf, this is my fault. I lost my mind and thought that you killed Jaxon. I've recognized my mistakes now. Please find it in your heart to forgive me," Romeo said and bowed his head earnestly. A man should own up to what he did. He initially thought that he lost his son and lost his composure, which came close to causing such a mess. Now that the truth was out, he kneeled and apologized sincerely. "Yeah!" "Mister Wolf, we didn't mean to wrong you. Please for
"Howard, I'm sorry. It's our fault. We didn't mean to. Please forgive us," Roman said apologetically. "Forget it. Since it didn't escalate further, I won't press further. However, this will be the first and last time you do such things!" Howard scoffed, his expression easing. "Of course. This won't happen again," Roman said in relief. After reprimanding Roman, Howard took a deep breath to calm himself and turned to look at Leon. "Mister Wolf, right? I attacked without digging deeper into the truth and came close to killing you. This is my fault and I apologize. Please forgive me," Howard said guilty, and apologized sincerely. Though he was misled by the Feaks, it was still wrong of him to attack Leon without any evidence. As a Dragon Guard, he failed his duty. Thankfully, Fletcher knew Leon and stopped him in time to prevent a tragedy from taking place. If he killed Leon, he would not be able to explain himself to his captain. Naturally, he did not know he was worrying ov
"Yeah!" "Jaxon, who did this?" Roman and the others turned to look at Jaxon, their gaze resentful. Not only did the culprit murder a few guards, they came close to taking Jaxon's life as well. The Feaks developed a deep resentment for the culprit and once they found out who did this, they would avenge the dead no matter the cost. "I don't know! The culprit wore a mask so I can't identify him. Judging from his figure and voice, he's probably a middle-aged man, though," Jaxon said weakly. "What?" "You don't know who did this?" "Damn it! How can this be?" The Feaks' hearts sank as they assumed Jaxon would know who was responsible. None of them expected the culprit to be so careful and took special care to hide their faces and identities. This caught them by surprise. Though Jaxon could identify from the figure that the culprit was a middle-aged man, there were plenty of people who fit that profile in all the families in the western region. They could not possibly
"Wait, hang on! Mister Wolf, the Southern Boss should be in the southern region, so why would he come all the way here to rob us?" "Can you be mistaken?" ... The Feaks recovered from the initial shock and asked. Though the southern and western regions were next to one another, each contained vast land and the heart of each region were far apart. The Feaks were moderately influential and not as up-to-date about what happened in other regions compared to more influential families. Some of the most powerful families already received information that the Thompsons destroyed the Spears and the Southern Boss fled with severe injuries. However, the Feaks were unaware of this. Hence, they did not understand why the Sotuehrn Boss would end up in the western region and commit such crimes. This led them to wonder if Leon was mistaken. "I'm not mistaken. I've fought the Southern Boss before and I'm familiar with his true energy. When I was treating Mister Jaxon, I could sense the
"Mister Wolf, you said that you detected the Southern Boss’s true energy on Jaxon's wound? But, why would he be in the western region?" Roman changed the subject. He, too, felt that Leon was merely bluffing when he said he would take the Southern Boss down and did not take it seriously. "Well, Elder Feaks, you probably don't know this, but the Thompsons destroyed the Spears and the Southern Boss fled to the western region with severe injuries," Leon said thoughtfully and proceeded to briefly explain what happened. The Spears' downfall and the Southern Boss’s injury were mainly caused by Leon, but he came here using a fake name. On top of that, the others did not believe him when he said he would take the Southern Boss down. To avoid being mistaken as a person who enjoyed bluffing, he simply gave all the credit to the Thompsons. "I see. So, can the Southern Boss be behind all that happened?" Realization dawned on the Feaks. The Thompsons were the head of all families in the
"Dad, what should we do now? The Southern Boss is one of the strongest martial artists in both the Western and southern regions. If he is responsible for all these, we won't be able to retaliate," Romeo said. The Feaks were hardly the most powerful families and the strongest martial artist in the family stopped at the Semi-Almighty State, which was miles away from the Advanced Almighty State the Southern Boss was in. Naturally, Roman and the elders agreed as well. They all know that the Feaks could not rival the Southern Boss in strength and going after him for revenge would only cause the downfall of their own family. Instantly, their hearts sank in despair. "Elder Feaks, don't worry! Back in the southern region, the Southern Boss was found working with one of the eight criminals and because of that, he is already wanted by the Dragon Corps. Now that he has committed murder again in the western region, I'm sure that the Dragon Guards in both the southern and western regions
"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
