Ethan Smith clutched the bronze sword and briskly walked to the front of the gate.
Standing at the entrance, Ethan couldnât help feeling a bit nervous.
Whether the door could be broken open depended on the bronze sword in his hand.
âHum!â
With Ethanâs input of spiritual power, a dazzling light erupted from the bronze sword. The whole body of the sword was as if it had been given life, trembling ceaselessly!
Ethan roared and immediately swung the bronze sword at the door.
âClang!â
The enormous sound was deafening! The terrifying recoil force even forced Ethan to retreat several steps!
Under the immense force of the bronze sword, an astonishing mark was cleaved on this door!
âAt last, thereâs some effect!â Ethanâs eyes flickered, as hope ignited in his heart!
He wielded the bronze sword and once again slashed towards the door.
The gate gave a rumble, leaving another mark.
However, besides the new mark, there was no sign of the door breaking open.
Ethan didnât give up and held the bronze sword, swinging more than a dozen times in a row.
Each slash could break the surface of the door but could not break it completely.
Ethanâs complexion began to darken.
âCould it beâ¦Even relying on this weapon, I still canât break the door,â Ethan frowned.
He stepped back, preparing to use the Nine Slashes sword technique!
This was a real Divine Rank Technique. Ethan had understood it a long time ago, but he hadnât used it often.
âWith my current strength, I can slash only three times at most,â Ethan thought to himself.
It is said that each slash of the Nine Slashes, increases its power explosively!
And the ninth one even possesses earth-shattering power!
Ethan took a deep breath and his spiritual power started boiling inside.
âNine Slashes, first strike!â
Ethan roared, his body soared into the sky!
He held the blood-red bronze sword, slasher from high to low with one strike!
A vast sword light covered his line of sight, like it was from beyond the horizon, and fell heavily on the gate!
âBoom!â
The huge noise reverberated, and the ground around the gate collapsed!
However, the gate still didnât open!
âHow can this be â¦.â Ethan gritted his teeth.
He immediately initiated the third slash of Nine Slashes, but still couldnât open the gate.
âDamn it!â Ethan couldnât hold back his curse.
He tried to swing the fourth slash, but unfortunately, he failed.
Even though all the spiritual energy in his body was drained, Ethan still couldnât unleash the fourth slash!
Instead, his strength was completely exhausted, and he slumped on the ground.
âAre they really going to trap me here for my whole life!â Ethan felt increasingly desperate and couldnât help crying out.
He had so much unfinished business. He couldnât save Emily Taylor, the thought of being locked here was unbearable!
âLet me out, let me out!â Ethan couldnât help crying out in his breakdown!
His voice echoed in the Immortal Slaying Sect for a long time, making Ethan even more desolate.
âHumâ
Just when Ethan was about to give up, a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Then, a man with a mustache jumped out.
âMother, youâre still alive!?â Seeing Ethan, the mustache man was visibly startled.
On the other hand, Ethan was dumbfounded, he quickly got up and hugged the mustache man!
He held the mustache man tightly, his joy was beyond words.
At this moment, Ethan wished he could kiss the mustache man!
âMother, pal, Iâm not interested in men,â the mustache man said disdainfully.
Ethan ignored the mustache manâs joke and excitedly said: âIâm saved, Iâm saved!â
The mustache man rolled his eyes and said, âI thought you were dead, turns out youâre still alive.â
Ethan Smith held back his excitement, looked at the mustache man, and said excitedly, âHow did you get here?â
The mustache man pridefully said, âAn artifact from the Immortal Slaying Sect has been unearthed. Of course, I should be the one to clear it out!â
At this point, the mustache man squinted and added, âThis is the Immortal Slaying Sect, the number one sect of its time. There must be valuable treasures!â
âHow did you get in?â Ethan asked somewhat puzzled.
The mustache man grinned and replied, âOf course by using the array platform. As someone who frequently deals with ancient relics, I have to have mastery over certain array techniques.â
Ethan joked, âSince you have this technique, why didnât you save me sooner? Even collecting my body would do.â
The mustache man glared at Ethan and said, âDo you think itâs easy to set up a spatial array? It took me more than a month to successfully set it up!â
âMore than a monthâ¦So I have been locked up here for more than a month.â Ethan frowned.
The mustache man patted Ethanâs shoulder and said, âPeople outside probably think youâre dead by now, and it wonât be too long before they forget about you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing this, Ethan anxiously said, âLetâs go!â
âGo where?â The mustache man retorted.
Ethan said, âOut of here, obviously!â
âGo to hell. It was hard for me to get in here, how can I just leave?â The mustache man grumbled.
âI came here for treasure hunting, not to save you.â
Ethan smiled bitterly, âIâve searched, thereâs nothing here, Iâm afraid youâll leave empty-handed.â
âNo, no, no. In your eyes, thereâs nothing here. But in my eyes, everything is a treasure,â The mustache man said with a grin.
Ethan suddenly realized.
Of course, the mustache man is a professional, what Ethan couldnât find isnât necessarily the same for him.
âWhat is this?â The mustache man noticed the bronze sword in Ethanâs hand.
Ethan didnât hide anything and told him what had happened.
After hearing it, the mustache man said with an agonized face: âSuch a waste! So many materials and you only made this little thing?â
âIf those materials were given to me, I could perfectly recreate it. Such a pity, such a pity!â The mustache man covered his chest with a pained expression.
Ethan shook the bronze sword in his hand and said, âI had no choice, I need to figure out a plan to save myself.â
âBesidesâ¦This bronze sword isnât too bad.â
Glancing at the bronze sword, the mustached man said: âNot too bad, itâs a good weapon. Justâ¦compared to a mighty realm weapon, it falls short by a great extent.â
At this point, the mustache man waved his hand, âForget it, forget it. Maybe thereâs still a complete mighty realm weapon hidden here. If I could get a mighty realm weapon, wouldnât I be invincible in the world?â
âAt that time, screw the Capital City Martial Arts Association, screw the Capital City aristocratic family!â The mustache man said excitedly.
