"Even if the two of us work together, we won't be able to beat them!" Leopard was more and more concerned as he spoke.He fought Leon before and knew that Leon was just a bit stronger than him. Leon should not even be at the peak Acquired State.Leon's skills would not be useful at all!Chip even had the Laughing Tiger behind him. If Leon got involved, it would just be sending Leon to an early grave!"A peak Acquired State expert?" Leon and Snow exchanged a look, and they could not resist laughing.After what happened at Cynthion Group's sales drive, Leon was already recognized as the strongest among the younger generation of Springfield City. He was already at a terrifying advanced Supreme Master level!Even peak Innate State experts would be killed with just one blow from Leon!"What are you laughing at? Am I not right?" Leopard was getting confused by Snow's laughter."I'm just laughing because you're too stupid! Even someone at the peak Acquired State is an expert now? It's
After all, he owed Leon a great deal. He could not drag Leon down with him!"Chimp, Mister Wolf, and Miss Snow here aren't part of the underworld. They have nothing to do with this, they're innocent. I hope you'll be honorable and let them leave!" Leopard said.Hiss! As he looked toward where Leopard was pointing, Chimp quickly saw how beautiful Snow was. He hissed and widened his eyes. "How beautiful!"Chimp gulped as he stared right at Snow's beautiful face and sexy body. He suddenly had a fire in his eyes as he continued to fix his gaze on Snow.His subordinates were the same. All of them were completely captivated by Snow's looks.As for Leon next to Snow, they completely ignored him, not even sparing him a look."Chimp, the underworld never hurts the innocent! Come at me, but you have to let the two of them go!" Leopard said coldly."Let them go? Do you think that's possible?!" Chimp let looked at him mockingly after he snapped back to reality.He knew that the underwo
"Brat, who are you calling nothing? Do you want to die?!" Chimp was furious as a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.Hunter's expression was dark as well. With his strength, he was a king in the area around Mistcloud Mountain!Leon dared to call him nothing. There was no way he could just swallow that! "Chimp, you seal the exit. Leave those two to me!" Hunter said coldly as he stepped forward."Alright! Hunter, you're much stronger than I am. With your help, that brat and Leopard will die!" Chimp said happily.Even though he did not know who Leon was, Leopard and Chimpw were the two strongest fighters in Mistcloud Mountain, and they were only at the advanced Acquired State.With Hunter's skills at the peak Acquired State, it would be incredibly easy to deal with Leopard and Leon! "Leopard, come at me with that brat, don't waste my time," Hunter pointed at Leon and Leopard incredibly arrogantly."Just with you? You're quite good at talking, but your actual skills are trash!"
Leon said that Leon would help him solve all the problems, but he thought that Leon was just bragging.Yet, when he saw Leon's skills, he finally realized that Leon was speaking the truth!"H-how is this possible?!" Hunter clutched his injured hand as he struggled to get up. His expression was incredibly dark.The fact that he was at the peak Acquired State meant that Leon was at least an initial Innate State since Leon defeated him in one blow!He could not understand how an expert like that appeared in such a place!Chimp's thoughts were more or less the same.To him, those at the Innate State were already true martial arts experts. They were existences that he could not touch!The fact that Leon could be someone at that level caused him to shudder."Mister Wolf, I can't believe you've already reached the initial Innate State! You're so amazing!" Leopard said excitedly.He knew that the fact that Leon was easily able to defeat Hunter meant that Leon was probably at least at
"How dare you! If you want to cross us, I'll gladly accept your challenge! Give us a few minutes, and we'll summon our allies right now!" Hunter declared coldly. "Go ahead! I, on the other hand, am truly curious to witness the true extent of The Laughing Tiger!" Leon sneered. "What?" Leopard was utterly shocked by this and quickly added, "Mister Wolf, please don't say that! We'll never stand a chance against The Laughing Tiger! I think we should attack first before The Laughing Tiger finds out about this." A glimmer of malice flashed through Leopard's eyes as he said this. Now that he had someone like Leon helping him, he did not think it would be difficult to get rid of Hunter and Chimp. As long as he defeated Chimp and successfully took Mistcloud Mountain for his own, he could finally request to join Great Maned Tiger's forces! With the Great Maned Tiger by his side, not even the Laughing Tiger could get rid of him if he wanted! "I don't care! He's just the Laughing Tiger
The middle-aged man at the lead had a glint of malice in his eyes, and his aura was no different. One could easily tell that this man was not to be messed with. This was none other than the Laughing Tiger—Riker Smith himself! "Mister Smith, you're finally here!" Hunter and Chimp were overjoyed to see him. "What's happening here, Hunter, Chimp?" Riker asked. Due to the overwhelming amount of people in the room, he did not notice Leon and Snow sitting there at all. "Mister Smith, Leopard got some martial artist at the Initial Innate State to challenge us and injured Hunter in the process," Chimp gave Riker a brief description of what happened. "Initial Innate State? Who dares to challenge my authority like this? Does he have a death wish? Who is this man?" Riker sneered at this. He already attained the Intermediate Innate State, and there were rarely few, if any, that could compete with him. Not to mention that his so-called opponent was just in the Initial Innate State and w
One could only imagine how shocked they were to discover that Snow Poole showed up at Mistcloud Mountain. "Mister Wolf, congratulations! I can't believe that Miss Poole right here is none other than the daughter of the Southern King," An expression of delight crossed Leopard's face. He never thought that after breaking up with Iris, Leon would get involved with the Southern King's daughter, whose reputation and beauty was equally as renowned as Iris'! Leopard could not help feeling in awe of Leon's charm and charisma. He finally realized why Leon was so calm before this—it was because Leon had the southern King behind his back! Riker's legs gave out beneath him, and he immediately fell onto his knees. "Mister Wolf, I didn't know you arrived. I didn't mean to cross you at all! Please accept my sincerest apologies!" Sweat dripped down his forehead as Riker begged continuously for Leon's mercy, but one thing was clear—he did not beg for Snow's mercy at all. The Northern and Sout
"What nonsense! How dare you even suggest something like that? How dare you even suggest the idea of kidnapping Miss Poole for your selfish gain?" Riker was so horrified by Chimp's daring conquest that he leaped up and gave Chimp a hard kick. The truth was, he knew that Chimp's idea was a good one; even though Snow was just slightly more advanced than him in her martial arts training, he knew that with his subordinates' help, he could easily overpower her and capture her. However, there was a catch—Leon breathed down his neck at this exact moment, and Riker knew full well the extent of Leon's powers, as well as his close relationship with the Southern King, Vincent Poole. He would never dare to lay even a finger on Snow with Leon watching! "Mister Smith, I mean it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if we let it slip, we'll never be able to carry this out again," Chimp tried desperately to ignore the excruciating pain from his abdomen, where Riker's strike landed and
"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
