"Great! Leon, I knew you ran out of Potential Energy Forces! I was right!" Contrary to the Thompsons' despair, Southern Boss burst out laughing in excitement. Though he guessed that Leon ran out of Potential Energy Forces, it was merely a theory and he could not be sure of it. Upon hearing Leon admit to it, he was relieved. Naturally, he considered the possibility of Leon lying to get his guard down, but that seemed unlikely. After his fight with Leon and the Thompsons, he learned that Leon was resourceful, but not all that strong as he was only in the Advanced Almighty State. This meant that he was weaker than the Southern Boss and the Western Boss, who were in the Peak Almighty State. With the casualty the Thompsons suffered, Leon and the Thompsons were at a disadvantage. If Leon had the Potential Energy Forces, he would have used it on the Southern Boss and the Western Boss because this was the only way for Leon to turn the tides. However, Leon had not done so despit
"Damn it, how can this happen?" Arthur's expression darkened and he felt helpless. He wanted to sacrifice himself so that Leon could take the Southern Boss and the Western Boss down with the Potential Energy Force. To his bewilderment, Leon ran out of Potential Energy Force. This meant that he was not capable of defeating the Southern Boss and the Western Boss for the Thompsons. Still, that did not mean they were completely out of hope. Though the Southern Boss and the Western Boss injured Arthur, he was still capable of fighting. So long as he returned to Leon's side, his strength at the Peak Almighty State along with all the Dragon Guards Leon brought with him should be sufficient to help them retreat safely even if they could not defeat the Southern Boss and the Western Boss. In conclusion, he dared not dream of getting Leon to eliminate the Southern Boss and the Western Boss now that he no longer possessed any Potential Energy Force. For now, the priority would be t
Leon grabbed Leon and stopped when he was a few meters away from the Southern Boss. "Leon, on the count of three, we will each release our hostage! How about that?" the Southern Boss said. "Sure, no problem." Leon nodded and stared at him wearily. "Three, two, one," the Southern Boss said and let go of Arthur. Seeing as the Southern Boss did not play any tricks, Leon kept his promise and let go of Felton. He then reached out, intending to grab Arthur, all the while firing his spiritual energy in case the Southern Boss attacked abruptly. "Kid, die!" Once Leon released Felton, the Southern Boss sneered. Just as Leon predicted, this was the perfect chance for the Southern Boss to attack and he was not about to miss it. He launched a powerful attack and charged toward Leon. "You must have a death wish!" Leon narrowed his eyes sharply. He knew that the Southern Boss did not mean well and was prepared for it. He then pointed a finger and launched the Earthly Plunder. A
"How swift!" The Southern Boss did not expect Leon to be so swift and his expression darkened. He thought that by catching Leon off-guard and attacking Arthur in the chest, he could surely finish Arthur off. However, Leon reacted far quicker than he anticipated and blocked his attack. It seemed impossible for him to finish Arthur off at this moment, so he gave up on that and moved his palm downward, slamming it against Arthur's Energy Sea Point. Baam! Arthur was instantly sent flying and slammed hard against the ground. He spewed blood and paled as soon as he landed. The Energy Sea Point was located below the Energy Core and the source of true energy for martial artists. The Southern Boss's attack destroyed his power. Thankfully, it was not a crucial point and this did not kill him, which was the silver lining of the situation. "Haha!" The Southern Boss burst into laughter. Though he did not manage to finish Arthur off, he managed to destroy his power, and that work
"What? Damn the Southern Boss! He was once a ruler of the underground community. How unbecoming." Angus and the others were shocked and furious when they learned that the Southern Boss destroyed Arthur's power. Leon proposed to exchange hostages and they should all act with decency. The Southern Boss even warned Leon not to play any tricks. Leon acted honorably, yet the Southern Boss broke his words and took Arthur's power away. This was extremely shameless of him. "Elder Thompson, Angus, don't worry. Though Elder Thompson's power was taken, I can treat him. Once this is over, I can restore his power," Leon consoled them when he saw the despair on their faces. The Angel's Fruit restored one's energy core and cured trauma to the Energy Sea Point. When Iris's grandfather had his power taken away, Leon treated him with the Angel's Fruit. Though he ran out of Angel's Fruit, he still had Cleansing Pills. Cleansing Pills were made from Angel's Fruit. They could enhance th
"It's fine. They aren't much of a threat! I'll go destroy them and put an end to this right now!" Leon scoffed with a malicious look in his eyes. Now that Arthur was safe, he no longer had any concern and it was time for him to settle the scores. Without further delay, he strode toward the Southern Boss and the Western Boss. "Destroy us? How arrogant! You worked with the Thompsons to bring the Spears down. Today, I'll show you what the consequences of that it!" The Southern Boss was enraged by Leon's tone. With a resentful expression, he strode forward to face Leon and the Thompsons and retaliate for what they did to the Spears. The Western Boss shared his feelings. Now that Felton was rescued, he no longer had any concerns. He gestured for Felton to stand back like Rodney, while he led the Fermers to follow the Southern Boss, intending to fight Leon and the Thompsons. Instantly, tension rose and a battle was about to break out. "Hang on!" The Dragon Guards, who remai
"What? Levi, how do you know that the Southern Boss committed murder?" The Western Boss was shocked. The Southern Boss was shocked as well. He assumed that he did not leave any trace when he took the Rainbow Flower from Jaxon. To his surprise, the Dragon Corps knew about it and he was taken aback. "You can't hide the truth forever. Western Boss, what the Southern Boss did has nothing to do with you, so you better stop assisting him now or you will lead your family into destruction!" Levi said. The Southern Boss was wanted for the crimes he committed in the southern region. On top of that, he murdered to steal the Rainbow Flower in the western region. There was no way that the Dragon Corps would spare the Southern Boss. However, the Western Boss was different. He was not the culprit behind the crime but committed murder even though he was aiding the Southern Boss. If the Western Boss was willing to give up, the Dragon Corps would not hold him accountable. However, if he
"Yeah. Dad, don't get fooled by Leon! He cost us the Apostles and broke my leg. You have to avenge me!" Felton agreed along. He fought Leon multiple times and lost every single time. Because of that, he resented Leon and desperately wished for his demise. With the Southern Boss and the Western Boss going against Leon, they had the upper hand. Hence, he was reluctant to see the Western Boss backing out and sparing Leon. "I know! Felton, don't worry. I will destroy that kid and avenge you!" With a cold look in his eyes, the Western Boss made his choice. The Fermers targeted Leon repeatedly mainly because they wished to obtain Cynthion Group. As the grievances between the Fermers and Leon deepened, there was no way that the Western Boss would spare Leon or give up on taking Cynthion Group even if the Dragon Corps was involved. He was not worried about being punished by the Dragon Corps. Given his strength in the Peak Almighty State and his influence in the western region, th
"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
