Baam!Following a loud sound, Leon was struck by Brahma's attack. Though he had the Mirror of Sovereign to fend off all attacks in the Semi-Saint State or below, Brahma's attack had too large a range and the Mirror of Sovereign merely managed to protect his chest area. Under the impact, he was instantly sent flying. Once he landed, Leon felt pain throughout his body and spewed blood from his mouth. Luckily, he was powerful and managed to protect his body with his spiritual energy. On top of that, his body was modified to possess superhuman defensive strength and recovery speed. Though Brahma's attack injured him, he did not take much damage. "Haha! Here I thought you were powerful. How disappointing!" Brahma burst into laughter. With the Southern Boss's reminder, he already knew that Leon possessed a defensive took in the Peak Almighty State. However, the brass knuckles he had were in the Semi-Saint State, with their power rivaling that of the Saint State. Leon's d
"What? How's that possible?" Everyone was stunned. They all witnessed just how powerful Brahma's attack was and thought that Leon would suffer great injuries from it. To their bewilderment, Leon merely suffered mild injuries and managed to get back on his feet with no issue. This was so surreal that they would never believe it if they did not witness it themselves. "Great!""Thank the gods!" Recovering from the initial shock, Angus, Iris, and the others were all overjoyed. Iris, Roanne, and Renee, who were deeply in love with Leon, shed tears of joy when they saw that Leon was safe. "No.""That's impossible."Contrary to their reactions, Brahma and the others all froze. None of them could understand how Leon managed to take such a powerful blow and remain mostly unscathed, nor could they accept what happened. “Brahma, it's my turn now. Just give it all you have or you won't have a chance!" Leon stretched his muscles to ease the soreness in his body, before striding
"Very well. Let us all work together to deal with this kid. Stall him and I'll find the opportunity to finish him off." Brhama nodded. Though he already tore through Leon's defense, Leon was formidable in both speed and strength. Treasures could often only be used three times in a roll and the same applied to Brahma's brass knuckles. After the earlier strike, he had two strikes left, and given how powerful Leon was, that may not be enough to destroy him. Both the Southern Boss and the Western Boss were in the Peak Almighty State, so their power was not all that inferior compared to Leon's. If the three of them work together, they could surely destroy Leon. "Alright!""Kid, prepare to die!"The Southern Boss and the Western Boss said. Without giving Leon a chance to get any closer, they leaped into the air and each launched a powerful attack. With their most powerful technique, Divine Kick and Phantom Strike, they attacked from the right and left sides of Leon. Baam!
"Now is the time! Southern Boss, Western Boss, let's attack all at once to take him down!" Seeing as Leon backed away, Brahma noticed this was the best opportunity to strike and signaled the Southern Boss and the Western Boss. He was the first to activate his treasure and launched an attack with his brass knuckle. An attack at the Semi-Saint State emerged from his fist and was sent directly at Leon. "Take this, Divine Kick!""Phantom Strike!"...The Southern Boss and the Western Boss got the message and each launched their most powerful technique, combining their attacks with Brahma's. The three attacks merged into one and charged toward Leon with tremendous force. "It's over." The Thompsons and the others paled and their hearts sank at the sight. Though they felt hopeful after Leon took a direct blow from Brahma, that hope soon turned into despair. Brahma, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss were powerful so this joint attack wielded more power and had a wider ra
Baam!Following a deafening sound, Leon's Hurricane Break clashed with their combined attack. The combined attack wielded a power close to the Saint State and it instantly snapped off the lower half of the Hurricane. Leon did not panic and summoned his remaining spiritual energy to protect his body, before facing the attack with the Mirror of Sovereign. When he was struck, he paled and backed away, before falling into the ground. Still, the Hurricane Break was a spiritual technique in the Ultimate Power Class, it was far more powerful than the Earthly Plunder. Since he exerted all his strength into the attack, the power of the Hurricane Break reached the Semi-Saint State, rivaling the power of the combined attack. Being canceled out by the Hurricane Break, the combined attack weakened and merely caused Leon to fall without causing any actual damage. Brahma, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss, on the other hand, were not as lucky. The Hurricane Break covered a wide
"What?""How's this possible?"...Everyone was stunned and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. They all thought that Brahma, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss were far stronger than Leon, and Leon was doomed. To their bewilderment, they could not be more wrong. Not only was Leon unscathed, but he also defeated and injured Brahma, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss. It was practically a miracle and none of them would have believed it if they did not see it with their own eyes. "No! That's not possible!" Rodney and Felton's hearts sank. They knew the strength of Brahma, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss, and even a martial artist in the Semi-Saint State would have a hard time facing the three. Leon should have been vulnerable. None of them could figure out how Leon managed to defeat all three of them, nor could they accept what happened. "Great!""Mister Wolf's so powerful!"...Contrary to their reactions, Angus, Iris, and the others were all overjo
Meanwhile, Leon stood up and took a Premium Spirit Nurturing Pill with a pale look on his face. The Hurricane Break was his most powerful technique and it exhausted a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. Before this, he launched multiple attacks on Brahma, the Southern Boss, and the Western Boss, which cost a lot of spiritual energy as well. At this point, he was almost out of energy. The Premium Spirit Nurturing Pill was made from spiritual herbs and could quickly replenish his spiritual energy. "Brahma, you scum. I shall take your life to avenge the Dragon Guards and Scott!" Leon said maliciously. Without hesitation, he strode toward Brahma, the Southern Boss and the Western Boss as he recovered his spiritual energy. Each step he took filled the three with fear. "I-" Brahma's heart raced as fear overwhelmed him. He was a criminal who took countless lives, but the more vicious he was, the more he feared death. It was precisely because he feared death so much that
Just as Brahma was dodging, Leon executed the Phantom Steps and closed in on Brahma within a split second. "Brahma, prepare to die!" Leon roared and launched the Earthly Plunder at the speed of lightning. "Kid, that's enough!" Brahma's expression darkened. He knew how formidable Leon was and knew that he was no match for him. Thankfully, his weapon could still be used once. Without hesitation, he activated his weapon and threw a powerful punch at Leon. Baam!Following a loud sound, Leon's attack clashed with Brahma's attack. Brahma's brass knuckle was a Semi-Saint weapon and it was almost as powerful as ones in the Saint State. Leon fell short in handling the weapon's power and was sent back away a few steps. After distancing himself from Leon, Brahma dared not to stay and leaped into the distance. He knew that his weapon only had one strike left and this was his only opportunity to run. With all the strength he had, he ran without looking back. "Damn it!" Leon's
"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
