"Thud!" With a loud slam, a shocking scene materialized before their eyes—the one who fell was not Leon at all, but Daniel! "Snap!" A loud crack echoed through the woods as Daniel's entire arm snapped in half, and with a howl of pain, his entire body was propelled outwards from the impact of Leon's attack. "Eat it!" Leon leaped into the air as he launched a second attack, this time direction it straight towards Daniel's chest. He promised to make him pay double for hurting Snow, and he would stick to his word! Daniel was horrified by this. Thankfully, he was close to attaining the Peak Supreme State, so he was able to dodge Leon's attack at the last minute, evading any life-threatening injury. Despite this, however, he still caught a remaining blow from Leon's attack squarely in the middle of his chest. Daniel sputtered and spat out two mouthfuls of blood, his body slamming hard against the tree behind him and falling onto the ground in a crumpled heap. A loud crac
Even though Leon did not think his opponent was so powerful as to have attained the Semi Overlord State, he still did not dare to underestimate. One of them was a member of the realm of Supreme Masters, whereas the other was an Advanced Supreme State; Leon knew that they would be insurmountable should they work together against him. Leon, on the other hand, was limited as he had to protect Snow at the same time. If he were to let his guard down for even a second, his opponent could easily overpower him! The current situation at hand put him at a severe disadvantage, and he needed to get this over with as quickly as possible, especially considering that they were still underestimating the true extent of his power—this was the perfect moment to strike! "Take this!" a glimmer of malice flashed through morgan's eyes. He was convinced that he was far more powerful than Leon and hence channeled more energy into his attacks, intending to break Leon's arm the way he did to Daniel! Ho
"Take this!" Leon sneered and leaped into the air, launching his fist toward Morgan. As he was still being propelled through the air, there was no anchor for Morgan to latch onto, and thus he could only unleash about half of his usual capabilities. He let out a half-hearted punch toward Leon's chest in an attempt to distract Leon and force him to give up pursuing him. However, Leon was unwilling to give up on making his attackers pay for their sins. He dodged Morgan's attack but did not falter in his next blow. "Oh no," Morgan's heart sank at this realization. However, despite this, years of martial arts training allowed him to dodge Leon's attack at the last possible second, and Leon's energy did not land in the critical area. "Snap—" With a loud crack, Leon's punch landed squarely on Morgan's shoulder, fracturing his scapula and sending Morgan flying through the air. At the same moment, Leon was struck, although narrowly, by Morgan's attack, and he staggered backward f
He gave up on trying to block their escape path and instead lunged toward Leon, intending to help Morgan defeat him. However, on second thought, he realized that Leon was so powerful that even if he and Morgan joined hands in combat, it would not be a guaranteed victory! With that, he doubled back and instead lunged toward Snow. "You despicable prick!" Leon let out a shriek of frustration as he had no choice but to give up on attacking Morgan. He swiveled around and unleashed a surge of energy toward Johnny. Johnny, having witnessed Leon's power, did not dare to rise to the occasion and instead dodged his attack as best as he could. "You can run, but you can't hide!" Leon sneered and unleashed his signature Double Attack. Even though he used this tactic plenty of times now, it was still proven effective; a surge of Peak Acquired energy gushed out from his palms, rushing straight toward Johnny's chest. Johnny was alarmed by this—he, like Morgan, did not think Leon would sti
If his calculations were correct, Leon was certain that in ten more minutes, one of the two would collapse, and he would be victorious once and for all! Morgan and Johnny, too, were aware of this. As time slipped by, their hearts sank deeper and deeper, yet they knew there was no other way. Meanwhile, after some period of rest, Daniel was beginning to feel better and slowly propped himself up from the ground. Morgan and Johnny were overjoyed by this. They initially lost all hope in their mission, and now, Daniel's revival ignited another spark of hope within them! Leon, on the other hand, was despaired to see this. He managed to keep the situation under control for now, and if Daniel were to join their forces, things would undoubtedly change. Thankfully, he crippled one of Daniel's arms and injured him severely, so even if Daniel were to join in, it would not prove to be much of a threat at all! "Number three, go bring the car around! We should go!" Morgan instructed him.
"You bastard!" Leon erupted in rage and brought down another wave of true energy upon Morgan, intending to force him to give up on his advances. However, Morgan was determined to get this small win for himself. Ignoring Leon's attacks, he drew his fist back and continued to attack Snow. Snow was utterly terrified by this. She darted backward in fear, attempting to dodge Morgan's strikes, but she was too far behind in her martial arts training in comparison to Morgan's. No matter how hard she tried, she could not seem to escape from Morgan's reach at all. Leon gritted his teeth at this. He knew that Morgan was forcing him to save Snow. If he did not get distracted by this, he could easily defeat Morgan with one simple punch, but at the same time, Morgan could easily defeat Snow as well! Morgan was deliberately doing this to buy time for his escape. His decision was proving to be the right one; Leon did not dare to leave Snow to fend for herself, and thus he had no choice but
Leon first helped Snow check her pulse, then gently grazed his finger against Snow's broken shoulder, intending to check it. "It hurts," Snow could not help yelping in pain at Leon's touch. "Snow, I can't believe how stupid you were. Why did you insist on protecting me? Have you gone insane?" Leon could not help feeling guilty about this. If Daniel's punch shifted even just a few inches away, it would strike Snow's heart and lungs, and she would not even be sitting up at this moment! "I've promised to treat you as my brother, and isn't it normal for sisters to take punches for their brothers? Besides, I only hurt my shoulder, that's all," Snow tried to reassure him. "Sister?" Leon froze as a wave of emotions overcame him. He was an orphan since birth and never experienced the warmth of having a family. When Snow promised to treat him as a brother, he thought she was just kidding, and never thought she would have meant it! Snow lunged forward and took this punch for him, ju
After about ten minutes, Leon tucked his things away and began removing the needles from Snow's shoulder. Snow, too, quickly freshened herself up. "How do you feel now, Snow?" Leon asked in concern. "I feel much better. My shoulder feels a bit tingly now, and it doesn't hurt as much anymore." Snow tried to move her shoulder around and an expression of delight crossed her face. She could not help being in awe of Leon's medicinal expertise once more. "That's great. I'll give you a prescription for you to take some medicine, and I'll help you do acupuncture again in a few days. With this regimen, I'm sure that your wound will heal quickly," Leon said, smiling. One typically required about a hundred days to heal musculoskeletal ailments like this. Even though Leon's expertise would help speed up Snow's healing, it still required at least a month before she could attain full recovery. "Thank you, Leon." Snow gave him a smile of gratitude. "You've already mentioned that yo
"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
