Boom!

Another one hundred and fifty meters shattered from the top.

Boom!

Booom!

Another five hundred meters.

[Lightning resistance: 29%]

[Lightning resistance: 36%]

The lightning arcs had subsided a lot. The lightning sparks could barely hurt Leon anymore. As a result, the rate of increase in lightning resistance decreased a lot.

Booom!

Another seventy meters shattered, and the lightning totally vanished.

[Lightning resistance: 39%]

The whole mountain had been reduced by half. The nearby ground had cracked. Trees had been uprooted. People had been pushed backward.

After throwing the lightning sphere, Sylus had also left the mountaintop. He could only stare in horror from another mountaintop.

Amidst everything, Leon stood up straight. His gaze locked on Sylus. "Is that all? Or do you have any more spells? Something stronger than this?" Leon’s loud voice echoed through the whole mountain region.

Sylus’s veins bulged as he shot toward Leon. With one jump, he reached the reduced mountaintop. Lightning crackled along both his arms.

Whooosh! He threw a punch.

Leon tilted his body to the side and dodged it.

Whoooosh!

Another one.

Leon dodged this as well. Sylus was about to throw another punch, but Leon took the initiative this time. He went on the offensive and threw a hook.

Bam!

The fist landed in Sylus’s chin, then buried deeper as a bone-shattering sound rang out. Blood sprayed along with some broken teeth as Sylus’s feet lifted off the ground.

Whooooooooosh!

Like a shooting star, Sylus’s body streaked through the air and slammed into a mountain.

Splat!

His body blasted into chunks of meat and blood as the mountain collapsed.

The spectators all froze.

The strongest Disaster Class hunter in the world. Died just like that! With a single punch!

"No, no, no. That’s impossible. How strong is he? Can even our clan master be his match?" Amber whispered with widened eyes.

The Demon Slayer clan elder’s fist clenched. "He killed him without the slightest bit of hesitation. We wanted his blood essence. No way he will let us leave. Either we kill him today. Or we all will perish?"

"Elder, why don’t we try talking to him first and maybe ask for his forgiveness? Didn’t you say we’re taking the pill from him as a favor? Because he didn’t have what it would take to keep the pill for himself. But now that he proved his worth, we are supposed to kill him?" Hazel said, her brows furrowed.

The elder looked at her, annoyed. "Hazel, are you mentally challenged? We were only trying to take the pill; otherwise, Sylus would have taken it. But because we had already made an enemy out of him, we had to react. A warrior must know how to adapt to the situation."

"Adapt to the situation? Elder, you’re just twisting your words to suit yourself. Only a few people knew that the person who would consume the Blood Dantian pill, his blood essence could be used to strengthen one’s mana core or dantian. You deliberately announced that to turn everyone against him."

Smack!

The elder slapped her hard. "Don’t forget who you are talking to. Whatever I did, I did it for the clan’s future. That pill is the ultimate source of true power. Without that, going to the ninth heaven is impossible. Who was I trying to achieve it for?" She glared at Hazel. But Hazel didn’t cower before her either. She didn’t refute. But she distanced herself from the rest.

"You!" The elder gritted her teeth. But before she could react, those who had come out to gang up on Leon earlier returned. A total of fifteen of them. Including the elder and Wren, Amber and one of her remaining male companions, and Chen and his uncle, the total number became twenty-one.

Out of twenty-one, only the elder was at the fifth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm. Meaning, she was equivalent to a Disaster Class hunter. The others were all at S-Class level. Hazel still stood in the distance. She had no intention of joining.

Those twenty-one circled Leon, intending to block his retreat.

One Disaster Class and twenty S-Class knights. It didn’t matter how strong Leon was, everyone believed that this number would be enough to suppress him. Enough to kill him and get a blood essence for each one.

"How dare you?" Emily, meanwhile, snapped in the distance and was about to hurry toward Leon. But Leon raised one hand and gestured for her to stop. His eyes swept over everyone who wanted the blood essence. Wanted to kill him with no remorse.

"If you want to kill someone, you should be ready for the opposite as well." Saying that, Leon vanished from his position.

He appeared before the elder.

The elder brandished a sword and struck at Leon. Leon didn’t even dodge. "Ice layer." He whispered once before throwing a punch. A layer of ice coated his fist as it slammed into the sword blade.

Peng!

The sword broke in half with a metallic sound. But the fist didn’t stop and continued forward.

Thud! Crack!

A dull thud echoed, followed by a cracking sound of multiple bones shattering at once. Her neck twisted to the side due to the overwhelming force.

Snap!

And then...

Thud!

Her lifeless body collapsed to the ground.

Emily’s eyes shone with brightness. ’Just one month. How can someone change this much in just one month?’ She wondered.

Snow’s mouth hung open. ’I thought he was strong. But this much?’

Sol wasn’t thinking about anything. His eyes were only focused on Leon. His heart was pounding, desperate to know what would happen next. How he would kill his next opponent.

The other twenty who had decided to go all out against Leon regretted it at this moment. Except one. This one was burning with hatred. It was none other than Wren.

Leon moved again.

This time... He appeared before Chen. Chen Wangshen of the Crimson Moon clan. Without his sword, his confidence seemed like a deflated balloon. "Wait. I am from the Crimson Moon clan. If you dare to lay a hand on..." He staggered back and threatened Leon with his clan name, but couldn’t finish.

Creak!

Leon’s hand shot forward, his fist piercing through his chest with brutal force. "You aren’t from the Crimson Moon clan. You were. And if someone else comes after me, they will become history as well."

Puchi!

He yanked his hand as Chen’s lifeless body fell to the ground. His eyes were still open, frozen in disbelief. Until the very last moment of his life, he had never imagined that something like this could happen.

Leon then turned his head toward his next target.

Wren.
