"You Nortons? What a joke! Clarence, the Summers are just as strong as the Nortons. You don't have what it takes to take us down!" Keith snickered. He looked at Clarence with condescension, completely ignoring Clarence's threats."That might not be true! If it was in the past, the Nortons might not be able to do anything to the Summers, but we are not the same as in the past!" Clarence sneered."What the hell do you mean by that?" Keith furrowed his brows in confusion, unable to process what Clarence was saying."Ezra, come out! Show Keith your powers!"Clarence did not reply to Keith. He merely turned around and called a person out.The person in black was no one else but the second grandson of the Norton family, Ezra Norton."Okay." Ezra walked out and released a Semi Almighty State aura. The aura immediately loomed toward Keith!Not only that, but Clarence also emitted the same powerful aura at Keith!"Two of you are in the Semi Almighty State? How is this possible?" Keith w
"Keith, you've seen our powers! Although Shally joined forces with that bastard to hurt Marvin seeing how we have always been the ancient martial arts family of the central region, I'll look the other way and not make Shally pay."But you have to hand over that culprit and give in to some of the Nortons' business demands. Then, we'll call it even! If not, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Clarence sneered. He looked at Keith with arrogance as if he was sure he was going to win.That seemed to be the case too! The Nortons were currently stronger than the Summers. If the Summers were to fight with them, they would be no match for them!However, Clarence did not want to overplay his hand as well. Shally was their only direct descendent. If he continued to put the blame on Shally and make her pay, the Summers would naturally fight back. This would cause the Nortons unnecessary injuries and death.This would do nothing good for them!Thus, Clarence was prepared to let Shally go in
"The Nortons. Listen up! Prepare to attack! Arrest Keith or other important family members!"Clarence waved his hand and commanded the Nortons' fighters.Upon his command, the fighters rushed forward and surrounded Keith and the Summers. They were on guard, prepared to attack on command."The Summers. Be on defense!" Keith reacted quickly. He waved his hand to get the Summers' fighters to be in a defense formation. The situation was extremely tense. They were on the brink of a full-out war."Stop!" A sudden yell rang out.Two black luxurious cars came speeding forth. Then, Shally, the two Elders, Leon, Cynthia, and the others quickly got out of the car.They immediately went up to Keith and the others."Shally, didn't I ask you and the two Elders to get Mister Wolf to safety? Why are you here?" Keith was stunned to see them there. He could not understand why Shally would suddenly return, even bringing guests with quite a power level with her.Of course, he never saw Leon, Cyn
When Leon arrived with Shally and the others, Marvin, who was in his wheelchair, suddenly perked up. He immediately recognized Leon."Grandpa, the young man next to Shally is the bastard who beat me up! Get someone to arrest him! Get me justice!"Marvin pointed at Leon with a malicious gleam in his eyes. His eyes were filled with utter contempt."What? That's him?" Clarence was stunned. He initially thought that the Summers hid him up. Never would he have dreamt that the universe would be blessing him by sending Leon right to his doorstep!"Dude, you've come to hell! Since you're here, prepare to die!" Clarence chuckled. He instantly changed his mind. He was going to capture Leon first! The rest could wait!Once Leon was apprehended, he could deal with Keith and the Summers!"No!" Keith was terrified. He naturally understood what Clarence was trying to do. He immediately looked at Leon. "Mister Wolf, the Nortons are powerful. The Summers are no match for them! "We'll help buy
"Yes, sir!" Upon Clarence's command, the first four fighters in front immediately made a hawk pose and pounced on Leon!As for the other fighters, they secretly harnessed their true energy to prepare to stop Keith and the Summers from rescuing Leon!"Mason, I'll let you deal with these minions!" Leon calmly ordered Mason.The reason he was at the Summers' manor was to be done with the Nortons once and for all. The other reason was that he wanted to take the opportunity to get to know the Micahs and the Central Boss who were backing the Nortons.At that moment, he did not see the Micahs or the Central Boss yet. Since he was at a Semi Saint State, he could not be bothered with the little minions.He handed this to Mason, letting Mason use this as training!"Okay!" Mason responded. He took a huge step forward and waved his arms. A strong force of true energy immediately sprang forward toward the four fighters!"Mister Wolf is finished this time," Keith and the others were completel
"He's in the Almighty State?""W-Who the hell is this person? How could he be in the Almighty State?""Impossible!"Keith and Clarence were completely shocked at Mason's power level. Especially the Nortons. They initially thought that Leon was just a nobody.They thought that it would be easy to capture Leon or to seek revenge on him!They never would have thought that just one of Leon's subordinates would already be at the Almighty State! Besides, Mason looked like he was only in his forties! He was a second-generation descendant. With a power level like that at his age, it was a miracle!They could not imagine how Mason did it. At the same time, they could not accept such a cruel reality!"There is nothing impossible! You're a bunch of puny people, yet you dare to offend my master! You even thought of bullying him! How arrogant!"Mason snickered condescendingly and looked at Clarence and the Nortons as if they were a group of fools. He was secretly in delight.He thought b
"You're the Nortons, right? Bunch of insignificant people. How dare you mess with my master! You should die! I'm going to teach you all a lesson for messing with him! Be prepared to die!" Mason chided with a murderous gleam in his eyes.He immediately waved his hands and attacked the rest of the Nortons!"Shit! He's too powerful!""We need to run away!" The fighters looked horrified. Among them, other than Clarence and Ezra right behind the group, the others were mostly at the Advanced Emperor State or the Peak Emperor State.They were no match for Mason who was at the Almighty State! Of course, they would not dare to face Mason's attack head-on! They immediately flee for their lives, trying to avoid Mason's attacks.They scrammed.Of course, Mason was so much more powerful than them. It would not be easy for them to avoid his attacks!In a blink of an eye, Mason took down six people! The other fighters took the opportunity to put some distance between them and Mason!Combini
"Clarence, I'll help you!" At that moment, the 20 other fighters who stepped aside gathered forces once more, under the direction of Caden Norton, the Great Elder of the Nortons.They gathered their true energy, forming it into one super big attack, and threw it toward Mason.They were going to take down Mason together with Clarence and Ezra!"Damn!" Mason was stunned when he sensed the 20 other fighters joining forces.Although they were weaker than him, their powers together were not to be reckoned with!He did not dare to face the attack. So, he swerved to the side to avoid the attack!Swoosh! As Mason swerved, Clarence and Ezra, who were almost depleted of their powers, finally had a chance to breathe."Great! Amazing!""Great Elder, we'll join forces and fight the enemy together!"Seeing how it was effective, Clarence immediately got the rest to join forces.Then, they all gathered their true energy together into one ball of power. They threw it at Mason once more!
"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
