Jasper finally remembered where he had seen Chase before. Their family’s Supreme Elder had a portrait of him when he was about 11 or 12 years old!Although 12 years had passed, one could still see some resemblance upon closer inspection.At this moment, only one word flashed through Jasper's mind—run! He had to find a way to escape from here, return to the family, and quickly inform the Supreme Elder!The fact that Chase had ventured into Chitara alone at this moment was the best opportunity to kill him.As long as he was killed, everything could be salvaged!Chase took in the reactions of the four men.In an instant, Chase appeared in front of Jasper."You recognized me, huh?" Chase's smile at this moment seemed like a Grim Reaper's to Jasper."N-No, no, I didn't." Jasper could hardly articulate his words at this moment."Then why are you so afraid?""T-That's not it. Your strength is stronger than mine. This is just a natural reaction." The more Jasper tried to pretend to
"You're so noisy!" After Chase spoke, a burst of true energy shot out from his fingertips.Paxton's mouth hung open, but before he could say anything, he had already ceased to breathe."Now, there are only three of you left!"As soon as he said this, Calvin thrust a hand blade through Dexter's chest.Before dying, Dexter's face was full of disbelief. "Y-You..."As Dexter breathed his last, Calvin pulled out his blood-stained hand and approached Eric."Cal, you can't kill me. We're good friends, and my dad is the richest man in Chitara. You can't kill me, Cal." Eric was still struggling in his dying moments.However, these words did not sway Calvin's heart.Seeing that his words had no effect, Eric reached for a pistol from his waist and pointed the black muzzle at Calvin.‘In such close proximity, the pistol should work,’ Eric thought.However, he underestimated Calvin's strength.As an ordinary person, Eric had no resistance against Calvin. Even though he held a pistol, he
"Are you implying that you can come and go freely?" Chase asked."Exactly. In fact, if you really only want to deal with the Shelmans and the Shelmans’ Supreme Elder, I and the other three ancient martial arts families would be happy to see it happen."For so many years, the Shelmans have been the dominant family. Openly and secretly, they've long coveted the other three ancient martial arts families. Many true masters from the three ancient martial arts families have died or disappeared, mostly at the hands of the Shelmans. "We were angry but did not dare to speak out. There are even rumors that the Shelmans are backed by powerful figures, so we dare not act recklessly," Calvin revealed many of the Martial Arts Alliance's secrets in one breath."Let's go to your place, the Huntington residence," Chase suggested."Master Collins, does this mean you're allowing me to follow you?" Calvin asked eagerly."Let me assess you first," Chase replied with a slight smile, not rejecting the
"I killed them all!" Chase did not think to conceal it, and he said it outright."Alright, you killed them," Lola responded with a knowing smile.Seeing her expression, Chase was speechless for a moment. Nowadays, it seemed like nobody would believe the truth."According to Calvin, you’re planning to deal with the Shelmans and Martial Arts Alliance's master. Can you tell me why, Master Collins?" Lola asked, changing the subject."Revenge!" Chase's expression turned serious as he responded with just one word."If it's revenge, then the Huntingtons are willing to lend you a hand. As Calvin may have told you, my eldest brother was killed by that old fool, Callum. That old scoundrel, Chester Shelman, is also the one responsible for my poisoning," Lola said with gritted teeth, recalling the events."Can I take a look?" Chase had initially thought Lola was injured, but it seemed he had guessed wrong. It was poison."Forget it. This poison has penetrated deep into my bones. All the top
It did not take long for Chase to arrive at the location.The security guard was dozing off in the guardroom, oblivious to Chase's arrival.Chase did not find it unusual and proceeded inside.Which floor was it again?Chase was fretting over the exact location when he noticed two burly men escorting a young woman out of a residential building.The woman was clearly Enola.What a coincidence!Chase casually approached them.The two burly men did not panic when they saw someone approaching them in the middle of the night."What are you guys doing?" Chase asked, pointing at the two."Ah, she's just a little drunk, you know," one of the men said with a smirk, acting like Chase should understand."I don't understand. You'd better let her go!" Chase said sternly.He simply did not understand such actions. He refused to participate in this!"Buddy, stop meddling in other people's business!" the other man threatened as Chase insisted on intervening."I have a kind heart. I can't
"Is the entertainment industry always this chaotic, with people showing up at the door and bringing guns?" Chase joked, attributing it to the chaos in the entertainment industry."Chase, have you been busy these days?""Why?""Would you be my bodyguard for a few days? I'll cover your meals and accommodation, and you can name your salary!""You can cover my meals and accommodation, but no sleeping together, okay?""Do you agree?""Well, are you going to kick me out and have me go to a hotel in the middle of the night?""I'll go tidy up the room for you!"As if she had won a battle, Enola completely forgot about the scene from before.…The night passed without incident. The next day, Enola took Chase to the company.The company where Enola worked was the well-known entertainment company, Telcent Entertainment. They had signed many A-list celebrities. Enola could only be considered moderately popular among them."Hey, isn't this our superstar Miss Enola? Why did you bring an
Enola exclaimed in mid-air, but she could not do anything to save herself in this situation. The force of gravity was fully evident at this moment.At this sudden turn of events, the director and the actors acting alongside Enola were stunned. All that remained among the onlookers was gasps.This was bad!If Enola died on set, then this show was probably done for.The director would be liable for massive damages.Chase did not have time to think much. He appeared below with a flash, leaping up to catch the falling Enola.The two slowly descended from mid-air, leaving everyone in awe.It took a moment for someone to react."What's going on? Props team, what are you doing? How could a wire break like this on the set of a period drama? Do you even want to work here anymore?!" The director exploded."Enola, are you okay?" After venting his anger, the director ran over to check on her."Mr. Calder, I'm fine." Enola regained her composure."That's good, that's good," the director
The director quickly walked over to Enola."Enola, is this your staff member? Introduce him to me.""Mr. Calder, you've misunderstood. He's just filling in as my bodyguard. Actually, he's my friend," Enola hurriedly explained. "Chase, this is Mr. Calder, a famous director in the industry.""Chase, my boy, would you be interested in acting?" Asher Calder politely asked upon learning that Chase was not a staff member."I'm not interested," Chase replied lightly. Hell no. After seeing how cramped the set was, he could not imagine himself acting."Mr. Calder, you shouldn't just pick anyone to act. It's not like everyone can act." At that moment, an untimely voice spoke up.It was Darius. He was accompanied by a striking woman by his side. "Yes, Mr. Calder. Let me call a friend from the industry to save the day. After all, it's the role of the male lead. We can't just pick anyone," Zara Bateman added, trying to persuade Asher."Chase, if it's a matter of compensation, you don't hav
A sharp blade appeared in Chase's hand.This was a spiritual artifact named Azure Edge, forged by a renowned swordsmith after considerable expense and effort.A flash of cold light swept across, instantly felling over a dozen ghostly creatures.They stood no chance against Chase's strikes. Their throats were slit, and their heads separated cleanly from their bodies.A crimson crystal dropped into Chase's palm.It appeared unremarkable at first glance, but it contained a thick, viscous vitality and was more potent than ordinary blood. A faint spiritual essence seemed to pulse within it, emanating an almost sentient energy."Is this a ghost crystal?" Chase's eyes lit up with excitement.He immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing on restoring his depleted vitality.Within his core, his Sea of True Energy roiled and churned. Vitality surged as waves of energy coursed through his bloodstream, refining his muscles and bones."This ghost crystal is incredible. It's allowing my bo
Chase's pupils contracted as he sensed the impending danger.He unleashed a barrage of punches in an instant, executing the most powerful technique from the Dominion Codex.The void trembled and cracked as Chase staggered back several steps. Despite the force of his strikes, his attack barely grazed the massive beast's claws, leaving only minor scratches.The beast howled furiously, its eyes filled with unrestrained violence.Chase fixed his gaze on it, and he asked in a wary tone, "Who… or what are you?"The creature's aura was pure savagery. Its heavy, steel-like scales were nearly impenetrable. Chase's full-strength attacks barely left a mark, let alone inflicted critical damage.The beast let out a deafening roar and leaped forward, spewing a foul, dark liquid at Chase.Where the liquid hit the ground, it immediately began to corrode, releasing an acrid stench. The substance seeped into the soil like acid, causing nearby plants to wither and die almost instantly.Chase reac
"Damn it! What kind of mysterious medicine is this? The pain is unbearable!"Moments later, Chase calmed down, and his expression was dazed as he muttered to himself, "That scene… Could it have been an illusion?"Chase refused to believe it was merely an illusion. After all, if it were, how could he have seen that towering, majestic mountain?That night, Chase stayed in the cave instead of leaving. He continued to study the Dominion Codex, determined to master the technique as quickly as possible and ascend to a higher realm.…Meanwhile, a man clad in armor stood suspended in the air in another location.The man's posture was upright, his features sharp and striking, with eyes as deep and vast as the cosmos. He exuded an overwhelming aura of sharpness and power."So, it was an illusion?"The man frowned slightly, sensing a faint aura belonging to the Ghost King bloodline emanating from Chase. This discovery puzzled him."Something feels off," he murmured. "This human's bloodl
Chase stared in shock at the withered, lifeless corpse before him."So, this is the so-called secret?" Chase let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "I thought I had stumbled upon a hidden relic, but it turns out to be nothing more than a trap."The eerie figure had used him as a mere sacrifice, intending to refine his body to restore his own strength and cultivation.The only secret Chase had uncovered was the entrance to the hidden realm, and he suspected it contained unimaginable treasures. Yet he realized the reason he could not enter alive was simple—he was not strong enough."If I've already been discovered, I might as well turn the tables!"His thoughts sharpened, and a ruthless gleam appeared in his eyes. Chase hurled a barrage of punches without hesitation.His iron fists rained down like a storm, striking the eerie figure with deafening impacts.The figure was caught completely off guard, stunned by the ferocity of Chase's counter-attack."Ahhh! You damn insect, st
With a flick of his trembling fingers, Chase unleashed a flash of silver sword energy from his fingertips, targeting the figure's forehead.The eerie figure was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Chase to launch an attack. However, he simply raised his hand and flicked a finger.The silver sword energy shattered instantly, and Chase staggered back several steps, his chest heaving with labored breaths."As I thought... My cultivation is too weak. Even using the second stance of my sword technique can't harm this old monster in the slightest. If I want to win, I'll have to use that final move…" Chase's mind raced as his gaze flickered with determination.At that moment, the eerie figure opened his eyes again, revealing a mocking grin."Your physique is peculiar," he remarked."Hahaha! Don't worry. Once you become my servant, all these divine abilities and techniques, even the secrets of the True Martial Principles, will belong to you!"As the figure finished speaking, a s
Chase quickly calmed his mind, and a broad smile spread across his face. The figure before him was undoubtedly the most powerful ally he had ever encountered.If he could earn this person's approval, he would gain access to an array of techniques—martial arts, supernatural skills, combat techniques, and even secrets for refining the body.This opportunity was far more significant than just obtaining the Seven-Star Herb and mastering a Supreme Technique."Boy, come here and bow before me!"Suddenly, the eerie figure sitting cross-legged spoke with a cold and commanding voice."Bow?" Chase froze for a moment. Was this guy out of his mind?"That's right! Your ability to make it this far proves you've passed the trial. As a reward, I will grant you an opportunity," the eerie figure said, his tone laced with icy indifference."From now on, you'll serve as my subordinate, guarding my tomb for a hundred years. Once the century is up, I'll set you free."Hearing this, Chase immediately
The blood mist gradually dissipated, revealing Chase's figure.Chase was slightly startled. He noticed that his skin was now covered in a faint golden layer of scales, resembling a suit of golden armor.These golden scales were not just protective layers; they felt more like a natural armor embedded into his body.He raised his hand and touched them. They were as hard as iron, with a faint metallic gleam shimmering under the light.Standing still, Chase let the wind blow past him. His clothes fluttered wildly.In the next moment, Chase stretched out his arms, exuding a terrifying destructive power as though a dragon had emerged from the sea.He slammed into the rock wall with full force, causing the stone surface to shatter and crack apart."This… This is the Supreme Technique!"Chase stood dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. "I… I actually cultivated the Supreme Technique? The legendary Supreme Technique!"The Supreme Technique was the pinnacle of martial arts, an incred
The sight before him was astonishing. This figure had actually knocked him to the ground! It was beyond belief.Chase cast the man a cold, indifferent glance but said nothing. He turned and walked deeper into the valley.As he ventured further, the patterns etched into the mountain walls grew increasingly intricate and mysterious, with ripples of glowing light flowing through them."There's definitely something unusual here," Chase muttered to himself while nodding slightly.His eyes landed on a carved totem on the rock face. It was a ferocious and menacing Wolf King Totem.Suddenly, the totem came to life!The Wolf King opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar, sending sound waves rippling through the air. Caught off guard, Chase coughed up blood on the spot."What the hell is this thing?" he exclaimed as his expression changed dramatically. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hastily retreated.Two Wolf King Totems peeled themselves from the wall. They ex
Chase had a guess about it. He pushed open the stone door and strode in, his eyes widening at the sight before him.He saw a great cliff that was thousands of feet high. It was full of numerous images and wordings carved into it. It looked quite a mess and he could remember nothing on it at a glance.Chase also distinctly sensed a thick wave of heaven and earth's vitality in this vast and open land."Huh? The vitality waves seem to contain an ancient yet weary aura."Chase was surprised.He crouched down next to the cliff to take a closer look."These wordings seem to be an ancient language. Could it be a type of ancient script?" Chase frowned.Ancient script?Chase gave this further thought.He reached out to pat the cliff in an attempt to find out if there were any treasures hidden within it.However, this cliff was as solid as steel. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to leave any marks on it."If I'm not able to destroy this cliff, I should just leave."Chase si
