Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Facing Eight Black and Gold Robes!

At this moment, Ethan Smith was walking step by step towards the Martial Arts Academy.

He did not know that an ambush had already been set up here, waiting for his arrival.

Soon, Ethan Smith arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy.

He released his divine sense, intending to investigate something.

“Huh?”

Soon, Ethan Smith felt several strong auras!

“Eight mid-term Military Marquis?” Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Before he could react, the eight black and gold robes had already closed in!

They suspended themselves in eight different directions, looking coldly at Ethan Smith.

“Black-robed man, today is your death day!” The eight people exuded a chilling aura.

Their powerful presence was intimidating and made one feel fearful!

Ethan Smith’s face changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“Even though I’ve been so cautious, I still fell into the trap…” Ethan Smith quickly realized the situation.

He glanced at these eight people and quickly made a judgment in his heart.

The strength of these eight people was not weaker than Jordan Richards’, even surpassing him!

Most importantly, they were well-prepared and specifically targeted Ethan Smith!

“Not good,” Ethan Smith muttered to himself.

He might have the strength to fight against eight mid-term Military Marquis.

But since they had set up an ambush, they must be fully prepared!

“I must find a way to retreat as soon as possible,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

“Black-robed man, surrender now, and we can leave your corpse intact,” A voice from mid-air said coldly.

Ethan Smith didn’t say a word, but with a tremble of his palm, a crimson bronze sword appeared in his hand!

Then, Ethan Smith directly slashed a sword towards them.

A blood-red sword light seemed to tear the air apart, carrying a sharp sword intent and rippled out.

“Clang!”

However, the opponent just lifted his hand slightly and blocked the attack!

“If we didn’t make enough preparations, how could we dare to wait for you here?” They said coldly.

Ethan Smith took a closer look and saw that his opponent’s hand was wrapped in a black and gold gauntlet.

Obviously, this gauntlet was also made of Black Gold Stone!

Ethan Smith secretly cursed, took a deep breath, and gathered spiritual power in his legs.

The next moment, Ethan Smith’s figure flashed, trying to find a gap to escape!

But at this moment, a golden light suddenly flickered in the sky!

A magical artifact hung in mid-air, emitting circles of golden light!

The circular light blocked Ethan Smith’s escape!

“You think you can still escape?!” A sharp rebuke entered Ethan Smith’s ears!

Ethan Smith’s face changed slightly, and it seemed that escaping today wouldn’t be so easy.

The black and gold robes of the Capital City Martial Arts Association were divided into several groups.

Each group had extremely strong cooperation abilities.

And the more people, the stronger their power.

Now this eight-person group was definitely stronger than Jordan Richards’ three-person group!

“Give up and surrender!” A loud yell came like a thunderstorm!

Ethan Smith only felt his vision blur for a moment and almost fell to the ground!

“There’s a Divine Sense Attack in his voice!” Ethan Smith’s face changed slightly!

It was in this brief moment of distraction that a light burst from the ground and directly knocked Ethan Smith flying!

“Swish, swish, swish!”

Before Ethan Smith could even get up, several tendrils of light burst out from the ground, binding his entire body tight!

Ethan’s face changed. He tried to break free from the bindings, but found that they were the perfect combination of softness and strength, tightening even more as he struggled!

“Useless.” A cold voice said from midair.

“We’ve been waiting for you here for days. Did you think we wouldn’t be prepared?”

Ethan Smith squinted his eyes and said coldly, “If I’m not mistaken, the organizer of this operation… is Emerson Holmes, right?”

“Who it is has nothing to do with you. All you need to know is that today you will undoubtedly die.” They responded coldly.

Ethan’s brows furrowed as he attempted to swing his bronze sword, only to find that his wrist was bound and he couldn’t move at all.

“Whoosh!”

At that moment, a magical artifact in the form of a sharp blade shot towards Ethan!

The blade was extremely malevolent, aiming straight for Ethan’s forehead!

Ethan Smith’s complexion changed, and he quickly activated his Saintly Body Skill for protection!

A golden light shone from Ethan’s body, and his forehead became even more dazzling!

“Clang!”

The blade collided with the golden light, producing a loud noise!

“Oh? Golden light? Interesting.” Seeing this scene, the group couldn’t help but be surprised.

“I remember that Ethan… also had a golden light all over him. This guy isn’t related to Ethan by any chance, is he?”

Ethan’s expression turned a bit unsightly, and he knew very well that once he used the Saintly Body Skill, there was a high chance of exposing himself!

But Ethan had no other choice right now. If he didn’t activate the Saintly Body Skill, he would surely die!

“Enough talk, let’s just kill him.” After exchanging glances, they spoke coldly.

They no longer wasted words, striding towards Ethan Smith.

However, just then, a golden light exploded from Ethan’s body!

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted!

“Bang!”

The light that had been entwining itself around Ethan was directly shattered!

Ethan Smith extricated himself from the bindings, and with a wave of his hand, grasped the bronze sword once more, executing the Nine Slashes!

“Buzz!”

A terrifying Sword Light immediately followed, and Ethan slashed down with both hands gripping the sword!

“Ignorant!” The group sneered, and all eight of them activated their techniques at the same time. In an instant, a huge disk formed above their heads and swallowed the Sword Light!

“Return it to you!” They coldly snorted, then pushed their hands forward, causing the Sword Light to erupt once more from the disk, slashing towards Ethan!

Ethan’s face changed, and he hurriedly held the bronze sword horizontally in front of him!

“Clang!”

The moment of collision produced a thunderous noise!

Though Ethan blocked the attack with his bronze sword, the terrible force still knocked him back dozens of steps!

“What kind of technique is this?” As Ethan looked at the disk in their hands, his expression changed.

Now, the huge disk had divided into eight smaller disks, held in the palm of each person’s hands.

“If you have more techniques, feel free to use them.” They said coldly.

Ethan Smith frowned and whispered, “That disk seems to be a magical artifact… capable of devouring my spiritual power.”

The essence of the Sword Light was still transformed from Ethan Smith’s spiritual power.

That is to say, the bronze sword was a vessel for holding the sword wielder’s spiritual power.

The higher the level of the vessel, the greater the power that could be unleashed.

Therefore, true sword masters relied on their strong spiritual power or Inner Strength to cast their skills.

This was just Ethan Smith’s guess, though, and he didn’t know if it was true or false.

As a result, he gripped his sword once again and unleashed the second slash!
