The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1701
“Leon!” Willie was terrified when he saw Leon.
He captured Cynthia in the hope of luring Leon into his trap but never expected Leon to arrive so soon without alerting any of the martial artists in the Libertons Mansion.
It all seemed impossible and he could not understand how Leon accomplished it.
Naturally, he was unaware of the Soul Searcher Pills and did not know that Leon would have never gotten past all the traps in the Liberton Mansion to find Cynthia.
“You are finally here, Leon. I’m so glad!” Cynthia was overjoyed and the despair within her instantly
vanished without a trace.
Unable to suppress her fear any longer, she threw herself into Leon’s arms and burst into tears.
“It’s okay now, Cynthia. It’s over! I am right here and I won’t let anyone hurt you!” Leon wrapped his arms around Cynthia; his voice was soft, yet determined.
“I believe you!” Cynthia wanted to vent her emotions and pulled away with a beaming smile.
Because of the slap she received from Willie in the office, one side of her cheek remained red and swollen and Leon felt a sharp pain in his chest when he gently caressed her cheek. “Damn it! Willie Liberton, you scum! It’s about time that we settle our score!” Leon narrowed his eyes maliciously as he moved to avenge Ruth and Cynthia.
“You two, stall him! I will get help!” Terrified, Willie commanded the two mid–aged men behind him and instantly fled.
His father once fought Loen in the past when Leon bought his pharmaceutical firm and even his father, who was in the Peak Overlord State, was defeated by Leon, so he dared not to dream that two men in the Advanced Overlord State could defeat Leon. However, once he brought all the capable martial artists in the Libertons Mansion over, Leon’s death would be certain.
“You won’t escape that easily!” Leon scoffed and darted toward Willie while carrying Cynthia with one arm.
“That’s enough, brat! You shall meet your demise now that you are here!”
The two men roared and both launched their attacks at the speed of lightning.
Willie knew what Leon was capable of, but the two men never fought Leon in the past and did not know the extent of his strength. Seeing Leon was young and his name was hardly known in the martial artists‘ community, they assumed he was not a formidable opponent.
The two instantly decided to eliminate Leon to win the favor of Crowley Liberton.
“Get out of my way! Anyone who stands in my way dies!” Leon narrowed his eyes and charged at one of the
two men.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1702
“You must have a death wish!” The man sneered and thought to himself, ‘How dare a young brat like him face me directly?‘
He intensified his attack and intended to destroy Leon with a single blow. However, what happened next did not go as he planned.
“Baam!”
His attack at full force was easily canceled out by Leon and Leon remained unscathed.
Meanwhile, a wave of true energy in the Initial Supreme State gathered in Leon’s fist and a punch landed on his chest.
The man spewed blood and instantly flew into the wall behind him.
“How? How’s this possible?” The man placed his hand on his chest and stared at Leon in disbelief.
He was considered an accomplished martial artist to have reached the Advanced Overlord State, yet he was defeated and severely injured by a fameless young man and he found it difficult to accept it.
“Die!” Meanwhile, another man charged toward Leon and attacked Leon’s back.
Leon was carrying Cynthia with one arm and could not counter the attack, so he simply turned around to take the blow with his chest.
“Baam!”
The attack slammed against Leon’s cheat and the man was overjoyed. “Good!”
The other man who was injured was excited as well.
No matter how powerful Leon was, he was made of bones and flesh, and would suffer tremendous damage once he took a blow to his chest.
Before the two could celebrate their victory, what happened next shook them to their core.
Not only was Leon unscathed, but he also did not even budge under the impact.
“That’s not possible!” The two men were utterly stunned and none of them could understand how Loen withstand such a powerful attack with his body.’
It was so surreal that none of them would have believed it to be true if they did not see it happening before their eyes.
“You are the ones who should die, old twat!” Leon scoffed and swiftly launched an attack on the man’s chest.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1703
“No!” The man tried to dodge the attack but focused all his power on the earlier attack and did not have any strength left to move away.
At the very last moment, he managed to tilt his body to the side, narrowly escaping the blow that was directed at his chest, only for it to land on his shoulder instead.
“Snap!”
A sharp pain shot up his shoulder and he was sent flying into the distance. After landing on the ground, he spewed blood from his mouth and instantly lost all ability to fight.
“Know your laces!” Leon scoffed after defeating the men and was prepared to go after Willie, who ran away earlier. However, he stilled after taking only a few steps forward and turned to ask Cynthia, “Are these two the ones who injured Spencer and Stephen?”
“Yeah.” Cynthia nodded.
“Good! I shall make you two pay for what you did to the Sharp siblings!” Leon sneered and strode toward the
men.
“Wh- what are you doing? Don’t come any closer!”
An ominous feeling took over the two men.
“Shut it!” Leon scoffed and strode toward one of the men, before stomping onto his Energy Sea Point to destroy his power.
“Ah!” The man wailed and collapsed onto the ground.
“Now, it’s your turn!” Leon sneered and turned to walk toward the other man; the man’s heart sank with
each step Leon took.
“Don’t!.” Terrified, he roared sternly, “I’m warning you! I’m one of the direct descendants of the Libertons‘ second bloodline! If you dare to destroy my power, the Libertons won’t spare you!”
“Is that so? I don’t know what the Libertons will do to me, but I know that I’m not letting you go unpunished! “Leon scoffed and stomped onto his Energy Sea Point as well.
Leon was never a man who enjoyed bloodshed and the two men should consider themselves fortunate that they were not killed.
Once both the men’s power was destroyed, Leon ignored them and took Cynthia’s hand to hurry outside.
In the meantime, Willie managed to escape to the yard and shouted as he ran, “Somebody! Leon, the little bast*rd is here! Help me!”
“Leon, Willie told me that the Libertons have set up a trap to eliminate you. Maybe we should leave now and plan our counterattack carefully,” Cynthia said.
She knew that Loen was outnumbered and it would be impossible for Leon to face all the Libertons. Since she was safe and unharmed, she figured that it would be best to leave immediately before all the Libertons‘ martial artists surrounded them, or they would have nowhere to run.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1704
“It’s fine. Don’t worry, Cynthia. I’ve already gotten Iris to contact the Scammells for help! The Libertons can’t hurt me!” Loen smiled reassuringly.
“But!” Cynthia was still concerned as they were in the heart of the Libertons‘ territory. Even with the help of the Scammells, Leon might not be able to win; on top of that, the Scammells would need time to arrive at the Liberton Mansion and there was no telling if Leon could fend off all the Libertons on his own in the meantime.
“There are no ‘buts‘! I’m going to crush Willie and avenge you and Ruth! That’s not it. I’m also going to rid the southern region of the Libertons!” Leon said with determination.
It was normal or there to be conflicts between martial artists and had the Libertons attempted to fight him directly, Leon would have faced with honor as well; however, the Libertons resorted to targeting innocent women and Willie went as far as to break Ruth’s leg.
Leon was livid and was determined the eradicate the Libertons.
After spending so much time with his companions, he started seeing Cynthia, Ruth, and Snow as his family and Cynthia was the second most important person to him next to Iris.
Hence, he would not spare anyone who dared to harm them no matter the cost.
“You want to rid the southern region of the Libertons? How arrogant!”
Just then, they heard a voice, followed by the appearance of two old men in their sixties and a dozen talented martial artists.
“Third Elder, Forth Elder, you are finally here! I’m so glad!” Willie was relieved and immediately crawled his way toward the old men.
The two men were two of the elders of the Libertons.
The Libertons planned to lure Leon and the Scammells into their mansion and to fight the Scammells, Crowley, the head of the family, gathered every capable martial artist in the family to the front yard to ambush Loen and the Scammells, leaving only two elders and a dozen other martial artists inside the house.
To their bewilderment, Leon managed to sneak into the mansion before the Scammells arrived and appeared in the inner courtyard of the house without alerting anyone.
The elders were only alerted by Willie’s shouts and managed to come to his rescue, so the other Libertons were yet to be informed about Leon’s arrival.
“Are you okay, Mister Willie?” The Third Elder asked worriedly.
“I’m fine. Third Elder, that’s Leon Wolf! Kill him!” Willie pointed at Loen and commanded viciously.
“Yes!” The Third elder raised his arm, signaling all the other Libertons to surround Cynthia and Loen to prevent them from escaping.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1705
“Also, Leon has a defensive tool that gives him the strength equivalent of a martial artist in the Peak
Overlord State! Be careful not to get tricked!” Willie reminded the others.
After the conflict when Leon bought over the pharmaceutical firm, Willie found out that Leon was a mediocre martial artist at best and that he only managed to defeat Wade with the help of a defensive tool.
However, the two Liberton elders were both Semi–Emperor and were far more capable compared to Wade. With the help of the other martial artists, they should be able to get rid of Leon with ease unless he reached the Emperor State.
In the southern region, Yuri and Rodney were the only ones in their generation to have reached the Emperor State; both were the heir of extremely powerful families and possessed rare talents in martial arts.
Leon was merely a relative of the Scammells, so it seemed unrealistic to think that Leon could reach the Emperor State.
“A defensive tool? That’s just as useful as a piece of trash before us! Brother, stay put. I will destroy this kid!” The Fourth Elder sneered in contempt.
The Fourth Elder was in the Semi–Emperor State and a tool that held the strength of the Peak Overlord State would hardly be sufficient to fend off his attack. He stepped forward and stopped a few meters away from
Leon.
“Prepare to die, brat!” Without further ado, he charged toward Leon at the speed of lightning.
“How dare you act all smug when you are this weak? Know your place!” Leon scoffed and instead of backing away, he darted toward the Fourth Elder.
Ever since he fought Anderson and Bill in the Scammells Mansion, his level rose from the Intermediate Foundation Phase to the Advanced Foundation Phase, meaning he had the strength equivalent to the Intermediate Overlord State. With the powerful defensive mechanism of the Mirror of Sovereign, he could easily fend off any attack from martial artists below the Emperor State.
Since the Fourth Elder was only a Semi–Emperor and was far from reaching the Emperor State, Leon had nothing to fear.
“You will die!” The Fourth Elder sneered coldly.
Leon was wielding his spiritual power and it was impossible for one to detect which level Leon was on; however, judging from his speed and explosive power, the Fourth Elder had determined that Leon was merely in the Intermediate or Advanced Overlord State, which was far from the level the Fourth Elder was on, so he did not see Leon as a worthy opponent at all.
Regarding the defensive tool that Leon possessed, he was led to believe that it gave Leon the strength equivalent of a martial artist in the Peak Overlord State, so it would be simple for a Semi–Emperor like him to tear through Leon’s defense.
The Fourth Elder strengthened his attack in the hope of defeating Leon with a single blow.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1706
“You fool!” Willie sneered and stared at Leon as though he was looking at a fool when he saw that Leon was facing the Fourth Elder directly.
He knew treasures were hard to come especially when they held exceptional power.
After observing the duel between Leon and Wade and seeing how Wade succeeded in injuring Leon at first, Willie determined that the defensive tool Leon owned held power at the Peak Overlord State at best.
Considering how low a power level Loen was at, he might be able to survive a few attacks from the Fourth Elder if he moved around swiftly while utilizing the defensive tool.
However, Leon was arrogant enough to face the Fourth Elder head–on and Willie was certain that this would lead to Leon’s demise.
“Get him, Fourth Elder!”
The other Libertons cheered as they all assumed that a young man like Leon would be capable of defeating an accomplished martial artist like the Fourth Elder.
Amid their cheers, what happened next shook them.
“Baam!”
Following a deafening sound, the powerful energy of the Fourth Elder tore through Leon’s attack and darted toward Leon.
Leon tilted his body and took the attack with the Mirror of Sovereign on his chest, all the while wielding the Double Attack with his true energy at the Fourth Elder.
“Wh- What on earth is this?” The Fourth Elder gasped and the smile on his face froze when he sensed Leon’s
true energy-
He never expected Leon to survive his attack unscathed, not to mention launching yet another attack with
little to no recovery period.
The Fourth Elder was completely caught off–guard and before he had the time to react, he was sent flying.
He spewed blood from his mouth as he slammed onto the ground in the distance; his bones were threatening to fall apart and he was rendered helpless with the pain.
“How? How’s that possible?”
Willie, the Third Elder, and the others were all shocked as they looked at Leon with disbelief.
They all assumed Leon was too weak to be the Fourth Elder’s opponent. However, not only did Leon defeat the Fourth Elder, he managed to injure him with a single blow.
Everyone was frozen in shock.
“Mister Willie, didn’t you say that the tool Leon possesses is only at the Peak Overlord State? How did he manage to fend off my brother’s attack and injure him instead?” The Third Elder questioned impatiently.
He could tell that Leon fell short in speed and explosive power compared to the Fourth Elder, so he assumed
that Leon only managed to win with the help of the defensive tool, and the Fourth Elder was only defeated
because he was misled to underestimate his opponent.

“I don’t know what’s going on. Can it be that his tool holds more power than the Peak Overlord State? How is that possible?” Willie was stunned and confused.
The strength of a tool usually remained unchanged and he assumed that the tool was only at the Peak Overlord State after Leon was injured by Wade, yet Leon managed to defeat a Semi–Emperor with a tool at the Peak Overlord State.
It was so far beyond his understanding that he struggled to comprehend the situation.
What he was unaware of was that the Mirror of Sovereign was not an ordinary treasure, but a super treasure with power that increased as the wielder’s power increased, which was something that Willie could not begin to fantom.
“Whatever, forget it! A tool is just a tool and there’s nothing to fear! Let’s see how far he gets with just a tool! “The Third Elder said coldly.
The Third Elder lived long enough to develop a vast knowledge of treasure.
Both defensive and offensive tools required an incredible amount of time and energy to offer, and the utilization rate often stayed within the range three times.
Since Leon already fended off the Fourth Elder’s attack, he would only have two chances left. So long as the Third Elder tried to lure Leon into using the remaining defenses, Leon’s demise would be certain.
He raised his arm and ordered the other Libertons. “Go! Break his defense!”
“Yes!”
The others immediately leaped into the air and charged toward Leon.
“Damn it!” Leon’s expression darkened.
Though the defense of the Mirror of Sovereign was nearly impenetrable, it was too small in size and could only protect Leon’s chest area.
In a one–on–one duel, he would not fear any opponent below the Emperor State. However, the group that was swarming him included martial artists in the Advanced and Peak Overlord State, which posed an enormous threat to him.
He was outnumbered and had to look after Cynthia, so he could not survive the attack even with the Mirror of Sovereign.
“Cynthia, hold on tight to me!” Leon roared and pulled Cynthia closer with one arm as he backed away to dodge the attacks, all the while reaching into his pocket for a Dragon Pill and swallowing it.
He could not help but curse at himself inwardly for being overly confident; If he took the Dragon Pill sooner, he would not be in such a difficult position.
Thankfully, he was not too late and he was determined to put the fear of God in his opponents once the Dragon Pill took effect.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1708
“Leon, watch out!” Cynthia paled at the sight of all the martial artists charging toward them; she kept her arms wrapped around Leon’s neck as her heart sank.
To protect Cynthia, Leon could not evade all attacks and was struck by a few of them. Thankfully, he was experienced in battle and reacted swiftly to fend off the attacks with the Mirror of Sovereign to avoid suffering actual damage.
“Haha! He’s at his wit’s end!”
The Third Elder and Willie burst out laughing when they saw how discomfited Leon seemed. However, what happened next shook them to their cores.
“Anyone who stands in my way dies!” Leon scoffed and finally started to fight back.
As the Dragon Pill took effect, Leon’s power rose to the very top of the Semi–Emperor State with rivals below the Emperor State, and the power of Mirror of Sovereign rose to the Intermediate Emperor State as well, which made Leon far more superior the group of martial artists before him.
Instead of backing away, he darted toward one of the martial artists, and like a wolf darting its way into a herd of sheep, a man fell wherever he went and within a matter of moments, over half of the martial artists were defeated.
“How is that possible?!”
Willie and the Third Elder rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
It was obvious that the Libertons had the upper hand and Leon was forced to be in a defensive position. However, Leon seemed to have transformed abruptly and turned the tables around to defeat the martial artists.
It was so surreal that they found themselves shaken to the core.
“Die!” The Third Elder sobered and instantly leaped toward Leon, before launching a punch at Leon’s back.
He did not know how Leon managed to turn the tables, but he knew that Leon took a few attacks earlier and assumed that Leon ran out of chances to use his defensive tool.
Seeing this to be his chance to eliminate Leon, the Third Elder ceased the chance.
“How dare you attack me from behind, old twat?! Die!” Leon narrowed his eyes coldly and turned to launch a swift attack at the Third Elder.
“Know your place!” The Third Elder sneered maliciously.
In his mind, it would be suicidal for a man with little to no power to fight him directly without the help of his defensive tool, so he strengthened the power in his attack and sought to finish Leon off in an instant. “Die!”
Meanwhile, a few martial artists gathered their energy to form a much more powerful attack and launched it at Leon’s back.
Caught in the middle between two attacks, all paths for Leon to escape were sealed and it was too late for him to back away or dodge the attacks.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1709
“Great! Kill the little bast*rd!” Willie sneered as hope returned to his eyes.
He knew that with enemies in all directions, Leon could no longer escape no matter how powerful he was unless there was a miracle.
Just as he was absorbed in his fantasy, what happened next destroyed his last hope.
“Baam!”
Following a deafening noise, Leon fended off the Third Elder’s attack with his spiritual energy and launched the Double Attack with his true energy in the Initial Supreme State, sending his fists toward the Third Elder at the speed of lightning.
“T- This isn’t possible!” The Third Elder gasped in disbelief at the sight before him.
He thought that Leon ran out of time to use the defensive tool and would not be capable of surviving his attack. To his bewilderment, not only did Leon do so with ease, he managed to launch yet another attack within a matter of seconds.
The Third Elder was still in the momentum of his first attack and despite his attempt to dodge Leon’s attack, he was helpless and could only watch as Leon’s energy swarmed him.
“It’s over!” Amid the Third Elder’s despair, a few other Libertons launched an attack behind Leon’s back.
“Damn it!” Leon’s expression darkened.
If he proceeded with the attack, the Double Attack might injure the Third Elder, but he would also suffer injuries from the attack behind his back as well.
Leon was hardly willing to sacrifice himself to injure the Third Elder, so he abandoned his attack and turned to take the attack behind him with the Mirror of Sovereign.
“Baam!”
Leon was struck in the chest, but with the powerful defense of the Mirror of Sovereign, none of the attacks managed to harm him.
“Is he even human?”
Willie and the others were stunned.
Though they knew that Leon possessed a defensive tool, all tools had their limits. However, not only did Leon manage to fend off the attacks of the Libertons‘ martial artists, he even managed to survive the attacks from different directions at the same time.
None of them could comprehend how Loen did such a thing.
“Prepare to die, old twat!” Leon scoffed and turned his attention back to the Third Elder, who was the most powerful among the group before him.
The Third Elder was the only one who posed a threat to Leon and once he was out of the picture, Leon could easily deal with the rest.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1710
“Enough with your arrogance, brat! You only manage to survive this long with the help of your defensive tool! That’s not going to help you if you’re facing me!” The Third Elder roared as he backed away from
Leon’s attack.
After observing the duel between Leon and the Fourth Elder, the Third Elder concluded that Leon was in the Intermediate or Advanced Overlord State, so he fell short in speed and explosive power compared to the Fourth Elder. However, the Fourth Elder was defeated with the help of Leon’s defensive tool.
Thinking that Leon would never be able to catch up with him, the Third Elder was certain that he could not be defeated, only to be proven wrong in the next instant.
Leon disappeared in the air and reappeared right before the Third Elder.
“What speed! How? How’s this possible?” Terrified, the Third Elder widened his eyes in disbelief.
Leon became more powerful, and his speed increased to the point that he surpassed Third Elder.
It was hardly an overstatement to say that Leon transformed into a completely different person as his strength accelerated within a matter of minutes.
It was as unbelievable as a miracle and he would never believe it to be true if he did not see it with his own eyes.
“Stay down!” Leon roared and launched himself at the Third Elder in full force.
“Stop!” Terrified, the Third Elder launched a counterattack frantically and backed away.
“Baam!”
Leon’s attack tore through the Third Elder’s true energy and he took the opportunity to summon his true energy at the Initial Supreme State, before launching a Double Attack at the Third Elder.
Though the Third Elder managed to distance himself, the Double Attack caught him by surprise and he was instantly sent flying.
Blood oozed out of his mouth at the impact as he slammed onto the ground a few meters away.
“How can this happen?” Willie was utterly stunned.
He thought that Leon was weak and it would be easy for two Semi–Emperors and a group of skilled martial artists to destroy Leon.
Contrary to his belief, both the elders were severely injured and half of the other martial artists were disabled by Leon as well.
The fact that Leon possessed such incomparable strength in his twenties was so surreal and Willie struggled to register what happened.
