Chapter 701: Chapter 700: Weapons are Also a Part of Strength.

Bryce Blair was not a simple martial artist; he also controlled a large portion of the Blair family’s business.

This led to his thinking being much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists and making it difficult for him to be deceived.

“Ethan Smith, there’s no need to pretend.” Bryce Blair rubbed his fist.

He sneered, “I’ll take these two Mighty Realm Bodies without reservation. I believe they’ll be even more powerful in my hands.”

At this, Ethan’s face changed instantly!

He absolutely could not lose these two corpses, or it would definitely bring trouble!

With that in mind, Ethan didn’t hesitate, and immediately withdrew the two bodies back into the Spatial Magic Artifact.

“Hahaha! Do you see now?” Bryce Blair said with a mocking expression.

Bert Mercer also suddenly realized what was happening, narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “You little bastard, I almost fell for your trick!”

Ethan’s face was somewhat ugly to look at.

This bastard Bryce, was actually trying to play games with him!

Having lost the support of Vernon and Hadwin, Ethan could only fight alone against Bert and Bryce.

They were both at the Peak Form of Military Marquis Realm. Their power was far greater than Ethan’s, and they were comparable to the man and woman from the Ice Palace!

“Ethan Smith, you killed the president of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and you have to take responsibility for this.” Bert Mercer shook the crossbow in his hand.

This crossbow was extremely odd. It could transform a large amount of Inner Strength into extremely sharp attack force! And it would greatly amplify the power!

At this moment, Bert Mercer was manipulating the crossbow, and it emitted a brilliant light.

It seemed that countless strands of Qi Jin were brewing on top of the crossbow.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

With Bert’s hand movement, the light from the crossbow erupted and shot towards Ethan at an extremely fast speed!

Ethan didn’t dodge or avoid it, but instead shouted and faced it head-on with his fist!

The reason was simple: Ethan wanted to know the difference in strength between himself and the Peak Form of Military Marquis Realm!

“Crack!”

Those three rays of light met Ethan’s Golden Light-covered body!

The terrifying force of the crossbow penetrated Ethan’s Golden Light and shattered his fist!

Fresh blood and broken bones flowed down his wrist.

Ethan looked down at his fist and sneered, “This crossbow is indeed extraordinary…”

However, not far away, Bert Mercer furrowed his brows.

These three rays of light only shattered Ethan’s hand?

Normally, no one could withstand this crossbow’s force with just their body!

“This boy’s flesh is indeed as formidable as the rumors say.” Bryce’s eyes were filled with intense fighting intent, and his aura exploded!

Although both were Military Marquis, their attack methods were vastly different.

Bryce’s massive fist shimmered with an unusual light, and an overwhelming oppressive force came rushing forward!!

This oppressive force far exceeded that of Bert’s!

Ethan’s face also showed a hint of seriousness, but more than that, it was filled with boundless fighting intent and even a touch of excitement!

“Boy, let me try your body!” Accompanied by Bryce Blair’s roaring, the ground beneath his feet shattered instantly!

Bryce’s body, like a cannonball, blasted towards Ethan!

The terrifying winds tore apart the Taoism Theory Library! His fist was not yet there, but its wind was sharp enough to slice the air in half!

Ethan’s pupils contracted as he clenched both fists, releasing a golden light and a force that could destroy everything, which gathered at his fists!

“Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!”

With Ethan Smith’s roar, his fists finally collided together!

Waves of air, with the two of them at the center, spread out in all directions!

In no time, Bryce Blair actually took two steps back with a “thump, thump, thump” sound!

In contrast, although Ethan’s fist was hurting from the impact, his body stood firm like a thousand-year-old pine!

Bryce looked at Ethan in surprise, his eyes showing a strong interest.

“What a strong body, I’m afraid no one can match this body under the Martial Saint realm.” Bryce exclaimed sincerely.

“No wonder my nephew lost to you, your skills are far beyond his.”

Ethan squinted and said, “Thank you for your praise, Mr. Blair. But I know very well that this is not your true strength.”

“Hahaha!” Bryce couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“That’s right! Physical power is only a part of one’s strength, and it doesn’t represent the whole.”

Pausing here, Bryce narrowed his eyes and said, “But if you were to advance a little further, I might not be your opponent…”

In a contest between masters, a single move can reveal each other’s depth!

“Let me do it.” Bert Mercer took the initiative to step forward.

He held the crossbow with a trace of disdain on his face.

Bryce’s high praise for Ethan obviously made Bert feel a little uncomfortable.

He was just an ordinary pre-term Military Marquis, was he worthy of such high praise?

Bert held the crossbow tightly, which emitted a terrifying glow.

Ethan said coldly, “Bert, although you are at the peak of the Military Marquis realm, all of your strength comes from that crossbow.”

Bert didn’t bother to hide it; he smiled faintly and said, “That’s right, weapons are also part of strength.”

Ethan said coldly, “Do you dare to put down that crossbow and fight me one-on-one?”

“Hahahaha! You’re daydreaming! As I said, weapons are also part of strength!” Bert sneered repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ethan made no further comment.

He nodded slightly and said, “Bert, although the crossbow in your hand is made of treasures and has extremely advanced craftsmanship, it’s not a Martial Saint Weapon, is it?”

Bert scoffed, “You obviously don’t know anything about weapons.”

“The true rank of weapons lies in Heaven and Earth Mysterious stage! What I have in my hand is an Earth Rank weapon!”

“As for the Martial Saint weapon you mentioned, it’s just a magical artifact refined by a Martial Saint that can activate a trace of the Martial Saint’s breath.”

“Without the breath of a Martial Saint, that so-called Martial Saint weapon is worthless and doesn’t have the qualifications to be compared with my crossbow!”

Seeing Bert’s proud expression, Ethan nodded and said, “I understand the principle, so … your crossbow hasn’t passed through the hands of a Martial Saint, right?”

Bert said coldly, “When I step into the Martial Saint realm, it will naturally become a top-tier Martial Saint weapon!”

“So, what you’re holding isn’t a Martial Saint weapon.” Ethan laughed.

Bert, somewhat annoyed, said, “So what if it is, so what if it isn’t, it can still kill you!”

Ethan nodded silently, “I agree with what you said, weapons are also part of one’s strength.”

As soon as his words fell, Ethan directly took out the Prajna Ruler.

A trace of Martial Saint’s breath spread out.

Streaks of radiance were even brewing on the body of the Prajna Ruler!

“Prajna Ruler? How … how can it be on you!” Bert’s face suddenly changed drastically!
