âNo one can touch the Three Pure Ancient Tree!â The harsh yelling rang out again, triggering an even more vicious attack towards Ethan Smith!
Ethan dodged while contemplating his strategy.
However, at this moment, the Guardianâs strength had already significantly increased, approaching the power of a half-step Martial Marquis!
With Ethanâs divided concentration, the Guardian was able to seize an opportunity.
âClang!â
A fierce steel blade fiercely slashed down on Ethanâs shoulder.
His shoulder immediately had a bloody gash, which even damaged his bones slightly.
âNo, if this continues, I wonât have a chance to take away the Three Pure Ancient Tree.â Ethanâs face became rather unsightly.
He couldnât have imagined that the Guardian would be so difficult to deal with.
âI canât use brute force. I must find a clever way.â Ethan, stepping on his Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique, retreated rapidly.
He released his divine sense, trying to find a weak spot in the Guardian.
Unfortunately, the Guardian was merely a spiritual entity and had no apparent weaknesses.
âBang!â
Another steel blade grazed Ethanâs forehead, striking the boulder behind him.
The boulder shattered upon impact.
Ethan stepped back, wiping the sweat off his forehead involuntarily.
âBuzz!â
The Guardian pressed forward again, his speed increasing several times!
Ethan had nowhere to hide, so he clenched his fist and countered!
âBoom!â
Ethanâs Golden Fist struck the Guardianâs head.
This time, the Guardian didnât explode, but retreated several steps.
âDamn!â Seeing this situation, Ethan became increasingly uneasy.
If he killed the Guardian again, Ethan might not be a match for the regenerated Guardian afterward!
âLeave quickly!â The Guardian, as if irritated by Ethan, brandished his steel blade and launched a chaotic attack.
Ethan couldnât kill him nor withstand his attack, so he could only dodge around.
The surrounding environment was smashed to pieces, becoming chaotic in an instant.
Still, the Guardianâs attacks showed no signs of stopping, determined to force Ethan to retreat.
âHuh?â
At that moment, Ethanâs eyes lit up!
He was surprised to find that something seemed off about the environment!
âThe boulder that was shattered earlier has returned to its original state?â Ethan stared intently at the boulder, his eyes full of amazement!
He hurriedly scanned the surroundings.
As expected, the chaotic environment previously caused by the Guardian was slowly restoring itself!
âI see!â Seeing this scene, Ethan suddenly understood!
In this environment, it wasnât just the Guardian who could regenerate, but everything within could regenerate as well.
Both the Guardian and the boulder were merely parts of this environment!
âI understand.â Ethan lunged upwards, soaring through the air.
âIt was my mistake to focus on the Guardian.â Ethan said solemnly.
In reality, the real problem was the environment!
In other words, there was actually a formation set up in this place. As long as the formation remained intact, everything within could regenerate infinitely!
âEvery formation has Array Eyes. If I destroy the Array Eyes, the Guardian will naturally disappear.â A relieved smile appeared on Ethanâs face.
âLeave quickly!â The Guardian pressured Ethan once more!
Ethan, stepping on his Shrinking Ground Into An Inch technique, continued to dodge.
At the same time, he released his divine sense, covering the entire environment, trying to locate the Array Eyes.
âClang!â
Under such circumstances, Ethanâs speed was significantly slower, and the Guardianâs blade struck Ethanâs chest once again.
Ethan disregarded his condition and focused entirely on finding the Array Eyes.
âCould it be that crystal?â Ethan furrowed his brow, looking at the crystal shimmering with radiance not far away.
He couldnât be sure, so he clenched Golden Light and punched it.
The crystal shattered, but the Guardian showed no signs of disappearing.âItâs not it after all.â Ethan Smith frowned deeply.
It makes sense; the Array Eye wouldnât be so conspicuous.
âOr is it that broken stone?â
Like a headless fly, Ethan Smith relentlessly crushed the surrounding environment.
For a whole hour, Ethan Smith was already gasping for breath, exhausted, but he hadnât found the location of the Array Eye. Instead, he had angered the Guardian.
âStrange.â Ethan Smith fled as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
His face looked somewhat ugly; almost everything in the environment had been crushed, but he still couldnât find the location of the Array Eye.
âWhere on earth is the Array Eyeâ¦â Ethan mumbled in a low voice, his face showing some urgency.
If this went on, he might really die here!
âBuzz!â
The Guardianâs steel knife fiercely chopped at Ethanâs head.
Ethan felt his brain receive a heavy blow and almost fell to the ground.
âDamn it!â
This move thoroughly infuriated Ethan Smith. He took hold of his Golden Fist and fiercely smashed it at the Guardian!
With this punch, the Guardian finally fell and slowly disappeared within the environment.
But within half a second, the Guardian reappeared!
This time, the strength of the reappearing Guardian had reached an incredible stage!
âHalf-step Martial Marquis!â
Feeling the aura on the Guardianâs body, Ethanâs face looked extremely ugly!
With his current state, defeating a Half-step Martial Marquis would not be so simple!
âLeave now!â The Guardian roared from his mouth.
Ethan didnât dare to be careless and looked at the Guardian in front of him with a solemn face.
At that moment, Ethan suddenly seemed to think of something.
His eyes lit up, and he looked up at the towering Hydrating Tower!
âCould it be⦠the Hydrating Tower is the Array Eye of this formation?!â Ethan exclaimed in surprise.
Other than this, Ethan could no longer think of any other possibility!
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. This Array Eye might be the Hydrating Tower itself!
âNo matter, Iâll just have to fight to the death.â Ethan Smith took a deep breath and muttered quietly.
With this thought, he shook his foot and leaped up urgently.
With one leap, Ethan came to the top of the Hydrating Tower.
Afterward, he put away the Venerable Fifth Mountain and walked out of the gate.
Outside the gate, Elder Foster was eagerly watching Ethan.
Seeing Ethan come out, Elder Foster immediately smiled and said, âEthan, how did it go? Is it over?â
Ethan didnât say anything.
If he was to destroy the Hydrating Tower, Elder Foster would certainly not agree.
This farce couldnât go on anymore, so naturally, there was no need to continue pleasing Elder Foster.
Ethan shook his foot, and his body soared into the sky.
He gazed at the Hydrating Tower with an imposing aura from head to toe.
Golden Light was hovering in midair, like the appearance of a second sun.
Whatâs more, the Golden Light he held in his fist exuded a strong deterrent!
Seeing this scene, Elder Foster felt that something was wrong.
With a somewhat nervous tone, he said, âEthan⦠what are you trying to do?â
Ethan didnât respond, and just muttered quietly, âI can only try.â
Before his words fell, Ethanâs fist thundered and solidly hit the Hydrating Tower!
âBoom!â
For a moment, the entire Hydrating Tower swayed and countless broken stones rolled down!
âEthan, what the hell are you trying to do?!â Elder Foster was suddenly anxious, and the light in his palms screamed, ready to take action.
Ethan didnât care about Elder Foster. He could only try his best to punch the Hydrating Tower once more!
âBoom!â
Under this punch, the Hydrating Tower finally couldnât bear it any longer and began to collapse thunderously!
