Chase bent down to pick up a small stone before flicking it.The stone flew across the air and hit the pigeon on the leg.The pigeon fell from the tree, letting out a terrified coo as it did.Immediately, Chase grabbed it and left.…Half an hour later, Bernard and the bald man walked out of the marketplace.The bald man, Luke Rivers, lifted his head to look around before whistling.However, what shocked him was that his pigeon was nowhere to be seen.He whistled again but still, he did not see anything, let alone his pigeon.Luke’s expression changed as he yelled, “Oh no! Someone must have stolen my precious pigeon!”“What? How dare they do that?” Bernard was also shocked.“You son of a bitch, I will never forgive you!”Luke released another pigeon from his bamboo tube and then took out a silver feather to wave it before the pigeon’s nose. “Go!”The pigeon spun a few times in the air before speeding toward the mountain near them.“Follow it!”A murderous look appeared i
William was annoyed at Bianca for saying too much, but he still said, “Mr. Collins, if you need our help later, you can just tell us. We'll try our best to help.”After he said that, Sam said in annoyance, “Mr. Cooper, are you looking down on Sir’s wealth or mine?”William then noticed Sam standing behind Chase.Sir?William’s expression changed, and then he grinned. “You’re exaggerating, Kingpin. Our wealth is nothing compared to yours.”William inhaled sharply on the inside.How could the Kingpin of South River City be Chase's subordinate? How was that possible?“You’re too kind, Mr. Cooper. Alright then, I won’t spare your wallet,” Chase thanked with a smile.Before he left, William suddenly reminded him, “Right, Mr. Collins, the Harrigans are here too. This time, the one leading the group is the fifth son, Keagan Harrigan.”“The fifth son? Sir, I think the Harrigans are scared of you. That’s why they only asked the fifth son to come over,” Sam said awe-inspiringly.Chase
Black magic practitioner?Sam was first stunned, but then he shook his head indifferently.He had seen all kinds of things over the years. Even if the other party had the help of a black magic practitioner, he would not be scared.Moreover, he did not think that a black magic practitioner would be as terrifying as people claimed they were.Even if the practitioner was powerful, could he defeat a gun?When Chase saw Sam’s expression, he knew Sam did not heed his advice, so he shook his head.After the two walked into the venue, they saw a ring-shaped hall that was about 1,000 square feet. At this moment, the lights inside the room were already dazzling, and it was crowded.“Sir, let’s go to the private room upstairs.”Sam led Chase to the second floor. Even though he called it the second floor, they were still on the 30th floor. They were just going to three ring-shaped compartments that were built between the floors.The people in the rooms would be able to see everything goin
Keagan quickly got his people to ask around. Soon, his people came back and told him, “Sir, the Kingpin of South River City is in the Gemini Room.”“I don’t care who he is! Since he dares to eat my Spirit Tail Pigeon, I want him to die!”Luke said with rancor, “I want him to be the first to die after the auction.”…At the same time, inside the Gemini Room, Sam let out a sneeze. “That's weird. It’s been years since I sneezed. Is it because of the air conditioner in this room?”Chase peered at him and saw a negative energy around him. He reminded Sam, “Something bad will happen to you in this period, so be careful.”“What? Something bad?”Sam’s expression changed, but he soon snorted. “It’s definitely Bald Mo! I'll make sure he can’t leave this place alive after the auction!”Chase could only shake his head after he saw this.He would not interfere in conflicts like this. Of course, if Sam was truly in danger, he would not sit idly by too.Soon, the action started.The firs
After the host said that, the scene erupted.“21 million!”“22 million!”"25 million!"…In the blink of an eye, a lot of the big shots at the scene yelled their prices as they were worried that the item they wanted might go to someone else.When Sam saw this from the Gemini Room, he wanted to yell his price.“Calm down.”Chase lifted his hand to stop him. If he called a price right now, he might risk raising the price too high and producing the opposite of the desired result.…At the same time, inside the Aries Room, Luke stood up and said excitedly, “Go on, bid it for me! Bid it for me no matter what it takes!”At this moment, the brush’s price had been raised to 40 million!Keagan did not dare to hesitate to raise the price. “50 million!”He added ten million to the price, which attracted the attention of a lot of people at the scene.“He’s a Harrigan. I saw him go in just now.”“I didn’t think they would be interested in this either. This is getting difficult.”Eve
“Don’t worry, Mr. Walker. As long as I get that thing, I'll help you eliminate your rival, Sam.” The old man named Einswald Baloo nodded and said.“200 million going once!“200 million going twice!”The host looked around and was about to slam his gavel down. “200 million…”At this moment, a calm voice said from the Gemini Room, “300 million!”After that, the room plunged into silence.Gosh, someone was still trying to raise the price!Moreover, they raised it to 300 million!“It’s from the Gemini Room!”“Gosh, that’s the real big shot! He kept things on the down low earlier, but in the critical moment, he managed to shock everyone.”At that moment, countless shocked gazes turned to the Gemini Room.“The Kingpin of South River City has made his bid!”Some of the big shots had stars in their eyes.“Grandpa, Mr. Collins has made a bid!” Bianca heard Chase’s voice from the Taurus Room.William could finally rest assured. Then, he said in between laughter and tears. “I though
Even though the auction was over, a lot of the participants still stayed.It was because a lot of people knew that judging by the Harrigans' and Mo’s characters, they would never let Sam and Chase go so easily.Someone would die tonight!A lot of the brave ones stayed to see how this would end.William and Bianca stayed as well.Bianca pursed her red lips together and said worriedly, “Grandpa, the Harrigans and that bald man are standing guard outside Nine Dragon Antiques Market. It seems that they want to rob Mr. Collins once he comes out.”“Call your father and your uncles. Tell them to bring some people over. We won't sit idly by if the Harrigans dare to take action.”A sharp light flashed across William’s eyes.The Coopers had already made up their minds to be friends with Chase. Since that was the case, they had to engage in this fight tonight no matter what.Bianca quickly took out her phone to start calling people.At the same time, Sam was also doing the same thing. E
Inside the Gemini Room at the auction, Chase took out the Spirit Tail Pigeon blood that he brought with him everywhere, his cinnabar, talisman papers, and so on.“Now that I have the spiritual brush, it’s time I draw a Clear-Headed Talisman for Miss Julia.”He picked up the brush and injected some of his vital spirit into the brush. With a deep breath, he started drawing the talisman.Drawing talismans was a kind of wizardry in the teachings. Perhaps it sounded a little feudalistic and superstitious, but its existence was indeed recorded in the history books.It started with a shaman in a certain region, and the art of it still existed even in this era when everyone believed in science.For example, one would still see these sorts of things during funerals or religious assemblies.It was safe to say that it was not purely superstition. The reason why it was so misunderstood was because there were too many quacks.As time passed, Chase combined his three energies and held the spi
Yara initially wanted to explain that she was actually a woman—what did Willow even mean by "closeted romantic feelings"?Then she remembered her current male appearance and that no one except Tack and Chase knew her true gender and bloodline.Of course, she did not know that her private conversation with Chase had been eavesdropped on by Carla. All four masters from the Evil Shadow Sect and Nefarious Deity Sect were fully aware of her female identity.She was about to find another excuse when Chase spoke first, "She's actually a woman."He simply had enough of Willow and Lisa's gazes.To settle this issue once and for all, Chase had to sacrifice his teammate. "She told me she awakened the Phoenix Deity's bloodline. Phoenixes change gender with each rebirth."The phoenix is inherently unified. So the Yara they're seeing now is essentially hermaphroditic. Which gender she displays depends on her mood and will."Chase spilled Yara's secrets completely like beans. Yara stopped pret
Willow and the others were stunned after hearing this."It seems this is indeed the Holy Path, the place where the Light Divine Pearl slumbers."It's also the battlefield between the evil god Klondike and the 12 Primal Treasures, the guardians of this universe," Chase said solemnly, understanding the situation after hearing Yara's explanation and recalling his previous encounter with the Light Divine Pearl."Weren't they fighting in outer space?" Willow asked, confused."This is a battlefield specially created by the 12 Primal Treasures using their spatial abilities. It's not merely a simple planet," Yara explained.It appeared that her awakened memories were substantial.Chase looked at her thoughtfully. "So, there might be other primal treasures and ancient races existing here?""That's right," Yara confirmed."I wish I could be that strong too," Walter said somewhat enviously as he stroked the ancient dragon's bones."Hey, these dragon bones could be used to make weapons, r
Chase scanned the surrounding light pillars for potential dangers while answering Yara."Earth? So you really are a visitor from another world! I knew your background was extraordinary!" Yara exclaimed excitedly.From her perspective, if Chase was a visitor from another realm, his actions made perfect sense."Is your homeland like an immortal realm? Full of powerful beings who can move mountains and part seas?" she asked enthusiastically."Uh," Chase felt a headache coming on. "Actually, most people there are ordinary. Those like me are just a minority. Don't overthink it."After speaking, he made a gesture to silence everyone and pointed upward. The light pillar seemed to reach its end. Their destination was a planet!Chase had seen plenty of footage from astronauts landing. This situation resembled those scenes closely.Even so, how would they land? Would the light pillar deliver them directly to the surface?If the light pillar disappeared in the atmosphere, Chase's martial
Universal Element Priest looked at Clive, who had lost his sense of self, and shook his head helplessly.He used his vital energy to contain the poison and focused his mind. Spiritual light erupted around him as rows of mystical symbols appeared. Spiritual energy gathered instantly, churning like waves.Even the nearby teleportation door was affected."Boundless Heaven and Earth, Borrowing the Power of the Cosmos! Go!" As the command left his mouth, space-time fluctuated and distorted.Clive, who was on the flying vessel, sensed the danger. He suddenly accelerated toward him. His tentacles extended rapidly like an octopus, attempting to grab the gradually blurring Universal Element Priest.At that moment, the teleportation door suddenly burst with light, and countless light pillars radiated outward. They not only enveloped Universal Element Priest and his two companions but also wrapped around almost everyone in the arena below.Universal Element Priest discovered with horror t
Ford had always been a carefree person, but today his expression seemed off!"It was such an important match, and you were in the semifinals. How could there be no recording? Ford, don't try to deceive me!" Wren sternly warned Ford."If you deceive me, you'll get a spank—" Before he could finish, Ford covered his mouth. "Father, stop! I'll show you when we get back!"Compared to being spanked, Ford preferred letting his father see his strange cries during the match."Holy Lord Wren, I have a recording of your son's battle with Chase. Would you like it?" an unfamiliar female voice called out."Who's this troublemaking woman? When everyone else remained silent, why did she have to make herself conspicuous?"If I'm humiliated because of this, you'll regret it later, lady!"Ford's mind churned like tumultuous waves. He turned to see it was Tiana, the Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land!"I don't recall ever offending you," he thought bitterly.This was problematic. Though he was
Ford naturally would not mention that the fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique he had blocked earlier was considerably weaker than the current display.This was the art of conversation."That's not even his ultimate move?" Wren asked in surprise."No. He learned this from watching the Saintess Jade from Modest Lady Holy Land during their battle. He simply replaced it with his own fire-system vital energy and fireball technique," Ford answered with some admiration.It was well known that as the most talented Saint since the founding of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford typically mastered most techniques on his first attempt.He essentially memorized secret manuals after just one reading and was considered one of the most intelligent and insightful dragons in history.However, even for top-tier techniques like the Thousand Eyes and Flowers, one would certainly need some practice time to master it.Yet Chase had fought Jade just once, and seen her use the technique only once.
Chase stepped forward, standing in midair, and swept his right hand.The fire-element Thousand Eyes and Flowers technique activated, sending countless extreme fireballs like a rain of bullets toward Fallon and his group.The quantity, speed, and power far exceeded his previous attacks, yet Chase only utilized fifty 50% of his vital energy!Fallon's group furrowed their brows, their bodies tense as if facing a formidable enemy. The ancient Nefarious Spirit Giant Ape manifested behind them, crossing its arms in a defensive posture.Fallon's vital energy circulated at extreme speed, pushing its strength to the limit. His normally transparent vital energy shield became faintly visible, like glass emitting light.Carla muttered incantations as wisps of green smoke emerged, with faint green light circling around her body.Seeing this, Tack and Norm understood: Fallon and Carla were not deceiving them but were genuinely using their full strength to counter Chase's attack!The two were
"No way? Chase actually had another trick up his sleeve—he can still win the championship?""Tsk, tsk. Such skill and courage. Now he dares to challenge two city lords and their helpers alone. Those two dressed in red and green were also fighting toe-to-toe with the city lords earlier. This is going to be quite a show!""Damn it, it's like a furnace in here! Everyone, spread out unless you want to become roasted pigs!""Who are you calling a pig?""That's just a metaphor!"...Chase was shocked by his own attack. Yes, he surprised himself.He had only used 50% of his vital energy, intending to intimidate his opponent while testing the strength of this top villain from the nether realm.To others, the wall of fire appeared to rise gradually. In his perception, however, it manifested instantly.The gradual rise was because the power was too great, expanding bit by bit to accommodate more fire eyes.His control seemed fine, so why did it feel like he could not stop?After exami
Carla thought Chase must have an amazing sense of understanding and enlightenment. He was able to see through the essence of the opponent's technique every time he fought and used it. He was a genius.Facing Chase directly made her understand what real intimidation felt like.She was also Chase's target as she was standing next to Fallon.As the top mind and soul cultivator in the nether realm, Carla knew that there was no escape from Chase.Chase would immediately react the moment she made a slight movement.Carla had never felt such pressure before.It was terrifying.Fallon's heart sank when facing Chase.He had been careless.Chase was harder to deal with than Carla, Tack, and Norm combined.Fallon knew how powerful Carla was.The Evil Shadow Sect was good at using the mind and soul in fights, but they were not powerful enough when it came to direct attacks. The Nefarious Deity Sect was good at body refinement, corpse refining, and using Nefarious Deity to strengthen the
