"Know your place!" Like Diego, both Milo and Enzo were sneering and looking at Leon as though he was already dead. Milo, who just fought Leon, witnessed just how strange Leon's abilities were. However, Diego was far stronger than Leon and even used a powerful martial technique. He did not think that Leon could fend off such a powerful attack, not to mention when Leon was arrogant enough to face it with a single finger. If he was not mistaken, Diego's attack would break Leon's finger or even his entire arm. There was no other possible way that this could go. However, what happened next shocked all three of them. Baam! Following a deafening sound, Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed with Diego's Gold Shattering Blow. Though Leon was not that powerful, the Earthly Plunder was an Advanced Power technique that was far more powerful than others in the same category. Diego's Gold Shattering Blow simply could not compare to it. On top of that, Leon saw through the weakness of
Milo was the first to snap out of it. Glancing at the mighty-looking Leon, he turned to look at Diego and Enzo, who were injured. An idea crossed his mind and he made a decision. He darted forward in the next moment and appeared behind Leon. "Die, kid!" He sneered. Catching Leon off-guard, he launched a powerful attack at Leon’s back. Though he did not know how Leon managed to defeat Diego, he knew that if the strongest amongst the three was defeated, he could not possibly rival Leon or accomplish the mission on his own. That thought left him more determined. Just as Leon was not looking, he attacked Leon from behind in the hope of disabling or injuring Leon. That was far better than sitting on his thumbs. "Good work!" "That’s right!" Diego and Enzo perked up in excitement. They both knew that Leon was formidable beyond their imagination. Since they were both defeated and injured by Leon, it became an issue if they could escape Leon at all. Accomplishing the
"Get down, kid!" Enzo was thrilled that Leon was taking the blow. He was initially worried that Leon was too strong for his attack to work. To his surprise, where Diego and Milo were standing formed a perfect triangle with his position. To make things better, Leon was either desperate or foolish and ended up exposing his chest to the attack. This was practically suicidal and he was not about to let this chance go. Without hesitation, he sped up and his fist landed on Leon's chest. "Great!" Diego and Milo were both excited. Though they did not know why Leon did not bother to avoid taking a hit on the chest and exposed himself instead, they knew that Leon was just human. Once he took a blow in the chest, he would surely be severely injured to the point that he could not fight any longer. That way, they would turn the tables around. This was the only way this would turn out. However, the reality was cruel and as they were all sneering, what happened next shook them.
Baam! Following a deafening sound, Leon's attack landed on Enzo's shoulder. There was a loud snap and Enzo's bone instantly shattered. He was sent flying and rolled off the round. Once he landed, a sharp pain pierced through his shoulder and his arm fell weakly. Paling, he lay sprawled on the ground and was instantly disabled. "Damn it! How can this happen?" Both Diego and Milo felt struck, their hearts sinking. They thought that Enzo could at least get Leon to back away or dodge. That way, they could take the opportunity to take Leon down. To their surprise, Leon did not dodge or back away. Instead, he took the hit with his chest. This caught them off-guard as they did not expect that to happen. With Milo injured, their only chance at victory was ruined and they instantly fell into despair. "I got it! He isn't just powerful. He also has a defensive tool in the Almighty State as well! That has to be the case!" Realization dawned on Diego. He was baffled the entire
"Um, Milo, I'll stall him. Leave! Once you get back, tell the Western Boss about what happened and get him to send reinforcement." Diego made the decision swiftly. He knew that Leon was likely in the initial Almighty State and because Leon possessed an Almighty-level tool, it would be impossible for the three of them to capture him. Hence, he instantly decided to retreat. However, Leon was too formidable and it was almost impossible for them to get away unscathed. Therefore, he decided to stay back and stall to get Milo a chance to escape. Enzo, on the other hand, suffered too many injuries to escape. He could only give up on Enzo and place all hope on Milo. So long as Milo escaped and reported the situation to the Western Boss and Felton, this could alert them and prevent them from underestimating Leon in the future. On top of that, plenty of formidable martial artists worked for the Western Boss and there were numerous people in the Initial and Intermediate Almighty S
"Great!" Milo was thrilled that Leon was stalled. He was a moment away from getting through the door and once he was out of the room, he could take advantage of his surroundings to escape. As capable as Leon was, he could not possibly catch him. However, the reality was cruel and before he could get too excited, what happened next shook both Milo and Diego. "You asked for this! Since you two want to die, don't blame me for this! Take this! Hurricane Break!" Leon's expression darkened as Milo was about to escape. Though Milo was an insignificant person to him and it did not matter much if he escaped, Leon was infuriated that the Western Boss and Felton sent someone to attack him, thinking they could do anything they wanted with their influence in the Western region. If he let Milo escape, he would not be able to live with himself. With that thought in mind, Leon backed away from Diego's advance and extended both arms to launch his strongest technique, Hurricane Break.
While Hurricane Break hit Diego, Enzo took a hit as well and was slammed against the wall nearby. Once he landed on the ground, he spat blood like Diego did and felt his bones crushing. Thankfully, Diego took most of the impact and his injuries were not as severe as Diego's. However, he was merely in the Semi-Almighty State and not as powerful as Diego. Even though his injuries were less severe, he was not in any better state and lost all abilities to fight. Naturally, the two of them were not the only ones who took the hit. Due to the wide range of Hurricane Break, the couch and closet inside the room were all damaged and broke into pieces. They crumbled to the ground and the room was instantly in a mess. Leon sighed a breath once Diego and Enzo were defeated. The Hurricane Break required a lot of spiritual energy and he used up at least half of his spiritual energy in this attack. Fortunately, Hurricane Break did not let him down and took Diego and Enzo down in an i
"You just won't behave unless you are beaten! What an idiot!" Leon scoffed and withdrew his foot. "What exactly do you want, kid?" Diego asked darkly. He felt slightly nervous as he did not know what Leon intended to do with them. "It's simple. I have a question for you. If your answers satisfy me, I may consider letting you go," Leon said thoughtfully. "What is it?" The three of them perked up and felt a hint of hope. "Where is the Southern Boss? Is the Western Boss hiding him?" Leon stared intently at the three of them. He already guessed that the Southern Boss was in the western region and this was likely connected to the Western Boss. Now that Leon captured Diego and the other two, he took the opportunity to confront them in the hope of obtaining some information about the Southern Boss. "The Southern Boss?" "What?" "We don't know what you're talking about." Diego and the other two exchanged confused looks. Though the Southern Boss was recovering under the F
"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
