"Felton, enough chit-chating. Why don't you all just come at me now? Let's see who's more powerful!" Leon pointed at Felton, Dorian, and the others, scoffing. "Why you!" They were all furious. Leon was far too arrogant to ask them to attack at once. He was blatantly disrespecting them. Though they desperately wished they could crush him immediately, they were all from prestigious families with a reputation to uphold. With so many others around, they could not gang up on Leon or they would be mocked. On top of that, Leon was just a young nobody who was not qualified to be their opponent. "Kid, I alone should suffice in dealing with a brat like you! We don't all have to attack together!" Just then, the Fifth Apostles stepped forward again. He then bowed at Felton and said, "Mister Felton, please let me deal with this kid. I'll teach him what it means to be this arrogant.""Sure! Destroy him!" Felton said viciously. "Yes!" The Fifth Apostle said and strode forward malicio
"It's over!""Leon's going to die!"...Like Felton, Dorian, and the others, the crowd along with the Morrisons and the Dagleshs all thought that a young man like Leon would lose to the Fifth Apostle. It would be unrealistic to assume otherwise. They all sighed empathetically, feeling that it was a shame for Leon to perish at the hands of the Fifth Apostle. There were others, like Jayden and some younger individuals, who all thought that Leon brought this upon himself. However, what happened next shocked them all. Baam!Following a deafening sound, Leon's Earthly PLunder clashed with the Fifth Apostle's attack. Though Leon did not take the Dragon Pill to display his full strength, he already reached the Intermediate Golden Core Phase and his power went up drastically. Also, the Earthly Plunder was an Advanced Power technique that could gather one's spiritual energy to a single spot, so it wielded tremendous power. As their attacks clashed, his Earthly Plunder tore t
"Damn it! How can this happen?" Snapping out of it, the expressions on Felton and the others darkened. Felton thought he knew the extent of Leon's strength and was certain that he was only in the Initial Almighty State. Yet, Leon somehow managed to defeat the Fifth Apostle, who was in the Intermediate Almighty State. This completely caught him off-guard and he could not figure out how Leon managed it, nor could he accept the reality. "Is Leon even human?""He's so young, yet he managed to defeat the Fifth Apostle!""This is surreal!""Yeah. I guess he's already in the Intermediate Almighty State or above!"...The crowd were all stunned and realization dawned on them. Though they did not know how Leon managed to defeat the Fifth Apostle, they knew one thing for sure. If even the Fifth Apostle could not defeat Leon, his power level must be above the Fifth Apostle's. He was likely one of the top martial artists in the Intermediate Almighty State and given Leon's age, t
"Elder Grimston's right! First Apostle, the four of you will attack together and destroy him!" Felton soon regained his composure. He waved his arm and commanded the remaining four Apostles decisively. Leon's power exceeded his expectations and for safety measures, he dared not to underestimate his opponent and ordered all four Apostles to attack at the same time. That way, he could ensure Leon's demise. "Yes, sir!" the four Apostles said. They then strode forward and stood in four different positions to surround Leon. Apart from that, a few martial artists who stood behind Felton took the opportunity to help the Fifth Apostle up, before returning to Felton. "Leon, your luck has run out. Let's see if you can take the remaining four Apostles on!" Felton sneered. He knew that under normal circumstances, two to three martial artists in the Intermediate Almighty State should be enough to defeat someone in the Advanced Almighty State.The four remaining Apostles were all in
Despite his earlier contemptuous attitude, Leon dared not to take their attacks lightly. He stepped forward and launched the Phantom Steps to swiftly dodge the attacks. "Kid, take this!" Once the attack missed, they all worked together to attack again. Leon repeated the same thing and kept dodging their attacks while he thought about a solution. Though his overall strength reached the Semi-Saint State, he was currently at the invincible level of the Intermediate Almighty State without taking the Dragon Pill. He was not even in the Advanced Almighty State. The four Apostles he faced were all in the Intermediate Almighty State and since he was outnumbered, it would not be as easy as dealing with the Fifth Apostle.Also, because taking the Dragon Pill would leave him vulnerable for a while, he did not intend to take it.He did not think he needed to do so either. Apart from the Dragon Pill, he also had another trick up his sleeve: the Mirror of Soverign. Given his curren
"This kid's at his limits! Let's work harder and keep attacking to destroy him!" The First Apostle was excited when he saw that Leon was losing. He immediately made the decision and commanded the other three Apostles. "Yes! Kid, take this! Rumbling Strike!" the other three Apostles said. Without hesitation, they each launched their most powerful attack, the Rumbling Strike. Tremendous power gathered on their fists and noises that resembled the rumbling of thunder could be heard as they charged at Leon. The Rumbling Strike was a technique that the Western Boss taught them and it was extremely powerful. Since they were already at an advantage, they should be able to take Leon down with the Rumbling Strike's power and end the fight immediately. Baam! Baam!Not daring to lose focus, Leon launched two Earthly Plunder with both his hands to fend off the Rumbling Strike from two apostles. He then executed the Phantom Steps to dodge the attacks from the other two apostles.Ho
"Oh no! Grandpa, Leon's in danger. Think of something or help him," Renee paled in fear and turned to Caleb for help. Given her feelings for Leon, she could not simply watch as he died. In her desperation, she could only seek Caleb's help, hoping that he could help Leon. "I-" Caleb's expression shifted. Leon was the Morrisons' business partner and he did not want anything bad to happen to Leon either. However, he was stopped from interfering by the Fermers, the Grimstons, the Underwoods, and Leon himself. Because of that, he already declared that he would stay out of it. He could not simply break his promise. With the Grimstons and the Underwoods lurking in the background, he would start a war if he helped Leon and the consequences would be unthinkable. Elder Daglesh was clearly thinking the same thing. Leon once saved Elder Daglesh's life and he desperately wanted to help Leon. However, the consequences of that were simply too severe and Leon did not seek help or a
"It's over!""Leon's acting out of desperation!"...Everyone was startled by the sight. They all thought that it was a matter of time before Leon lost. Given Leon's strength, he could continue using the Phantom Steps and would survive the four Apostles' attack a while longer. However, he gave up on his advantage in speed and attacked the Third Apostle. He was desperate and intended to gamble. Unfortunately, he was outnumbered and the difference in strength was too great. Even if he gave it a try, he would only lose sooner. If they were not mistaken, the Third Apostle would fend off Leon's attack. Once the other Apostles' attack reached Leon, he would surely perish. That was the only possible outcome. Baam!In the next moment, they all watched as Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed with the Third Apostle's attack. Leon's Earthly Plunder pierced through the Third Apostle's attack and its aftermath charged toward him. Unable to dodge, the Third Apostle was struck in th
