"Sure, it's a deal!" Once they reached a consensus, the Southern Boss immediately released Rodney's power and gestured for him to stay in the back. Then, the Southern Boss and the Western Boss led the Fermers toward Angus and the Thompsons. Angus and the others, along with the five elders who were defeated, all gathered together. They all assumed that they could rival the Southern Boss and the Western Boss. Hence, they initially stood in favorable locations and spread out. However, since the Southern Boss and the Western Boss were both in the Peak Almighty State, they were far stronger than the Thompsons. Spreading out would not help them and would only make them easy targets. Hence, they all gathered together under Arthur's command. "Angus, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss are too powerful and we probably can't beat them. Me and the others will do our best to stall them. The first and second elder will escort you away!" Arthur said decisively. He was against Ang
"It's fine. Yuri and the others have evacuated. Even if something happens to me, Yuri can lead them," Angus said calmly, his tone unquestionable. He merely insisted on staying partly because he was the head of the family and was responsible for the entire family. Also, his son evacuated with the others and even if something was to happen to him, Yuri was fully capable of leading the Thompsons back to glory. The outcome would be the same. In conclusion, there was no way that he would abandon his family to save himself. "But," Arhtur was reluctant to give up and intended to keep persuading him. However, Angus interrupted him before he had the chance to say much. "That's enough! Uncle, the Southern Boss and the Western Boss may have the upper hand, but that doesn't mean we don't stand a chance. So long as we work together to stall them until Mister Wolf arrives, we still stand a chance of winning," Angus explained and lowered his voice to prevent the Southern Boss from overhea
"What? Do you want to help Angus get away? I won't let you!" The Southern Boss overheard part of their conversation and assumed that Angus intended to escape. He was not about to let that happen. "Western Boss, you'll deal with Arthur and I'll handle the rest!" the Southern Boss said coldly. Without further delay, he launched a powerful attack on Angus and the elders. He blamed the Thompsons for the Spears' downfall and since Arthur was as powerful as he was, he would not be able to defeat Arthur anytime soon. Hence, he left Arthur to the Western Boss while he dealt with Angus and the elders to avenge what happened to the Spears. "Sure!" the Western Boss said and immediately got the message. He leaped into the air and charged at Arthur at the speed of lightning. He then proceeded to keep Arthur occupied to prevent him from helping Angus and the elders. "Damn it!" Arthur's expression darkened. However, he could not get away from the Western Boss and could only focus on
"Oh, no!" Sensing the power of their attack, the Southern Boss's expression shifted. Though he was formidable and did not see the elders as a threat, their formation and fighting allowed them to work well together. This caught him by surprise. If he continued his attack against the first and second elder, he should be able to injure them severely. However, he would only be struck by the combined attack by the third, fourth, and fifth elders. It was not a sensible way to proceed with the fight. Hence, he could only give up and send his energy to the third, fourth, and fifth elders. Baam! Following a loud sound, their attacks clashed. The Southern Boss remained unaffected, while the third, fourth, and fifth elders were sent backing away a few steps before stopping. Thankfully, the elders' formation caught the Southern Boss by surprise, and his attack was launched at the very last moment, so it did not even contain half his strength. Therefore, the third, fourth, and f
"It's over!" Seeing as the Southern Boss dodged their attacks, the first and second elders' hearts sank. The Southern Boss was far too strong and his speed alone was enough to counter all five of them. If the Southern Boss's attack reached its target, he would injure or even kill the third, fourth, and fifth elders and break their formation. This seemed to be the only possible outcome. "Elders, allow me to help!" Angus reacted swiftly. He launched the most powerful attack, Stormy Punch, and it slammed toward the Southern Boss's chest following the rumbling sound of thunder. John, who was next to him, launched the Thundering Fist alongside Angus. Taking this opportunity, the first and second elders recovered and attacked from behind the Southern Boss. This allowed the four of them to attack the Southern Boss from both the front and back. As powerful as the Southern Boss may be, he could not possibly get away. "Damn it! The Southern Boss was furious and his expression
"What a shame!" Sixth-Uncle Thompson and the others were disappointed. "Damn you, Thompsons! As expected of the most powerful family in the southern region." The Western Boss was taken aback as he did not expect the Southern Boss to be at a disadvantage. Still, it made sense. The Thompson elders were all in the Intermediate Almighty State. With the help of a dozen martial artists in the Initial Almighty State, their formidable was an unstoppable force. It seemed reasonable for the Southern Boss to be caught off-guard. "Fermers, attack!" The Western Boss reacted swiftly and ordered the Fermers to attack the rest of the Thompsons. A battle instantly erupted. "Southern Boss, the Thompsons are powerful and the Fermers won't last long. You need to act quickly to defeat those elders!" the Western Boss reminded the Southern Boss while fighting Arthur. He left his most capable subordinates, the Five Apostles, with Felton, so he did not bring many men with him. He merely had f
"Oh, no! Back away, everyone," The three elders and Angus were terrified. Though their formation was formidable, the Southern Boss was far superior in speed and explosive power. The Southern Boss learned his lesson and dodged the first and second elders' attacks. After that, he broke the formation with his powerful technique. The three elders, Angus and John had no time to react or fend off the SOuthern Boss's attack. The five of them rolled off the ground, narrowly dodging the Southern Boss's attack. "You won't get away!" The Southern Boss advanced and charged at the three elders who were closest to him. "It's over." The third, fourth, and fifth elders paled. They just narrowly dodged the first attack and were yet to get up, so they could not possibly get away from the Southern Boss. With that said, they could only watch as the Southern Boss's attack fell upon them. "Don't you dare!" The first and second elders were alarmed. They changed their positions and attacke
"Die!" The Southern Boss was slightly surprised that he failed to kill the first and second elders. However, given his resentment toward the Thompsons, he was not about to spare them. He strode forward, intending to end their lives. Just then, the three elders, Angus and John managed to get up from the ground. "Let's help them!" Seeing as the Southern Boss was about to strike, they were shocked. Without much time to think, they released their true energy and combined it into a more powerful strike, launching it at the Southern Boss's back to stop him. "Know your place!" Sensing the attack behind him, the Southern Boss had to give up on killing the first and second elders. He turned and launched the Divine Kick. It transformed into a tremendous force that struck the five of them. Baam!Following a loud sound, their attacks clashed. The Southern Boss's attack tore through the Thompsons' combined attack and darted toward them. Baam, baam, baam! The Southern Boss was
"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
