The painting looked quite ordinary, with no trace of spiritual fluctuations, and it didnât seem like an extraordinary magical artifact at all.
âWhat is this?â Upon seeing the painting, everyone couldnât help but laugh.
âHas Ethan Smith gone mad? Does he think this piece of scrap paper can withstand the power of Martial Saint?â
âHaha, this is just a desperate attempt; he must have gone crazy.â
Mockeries from the surroundings flooded in, as everyone unanimously believed that Ethan was sputtering in desperation.
Even Ms. Hayward had a rare smile on her face.
âJust wait and watch.â Only the man with the mustache chuckled coldly.
He stared intently at the painting and sneered, âThese fools, of course, donât know what a treasure this is. The power of Martial Saint? Thatâs nothing!â
As everyone laughed, the painting suddenly emitted a bizarre glow!
Then, waves of terrifying and gloomy aura surged out!
In an instant, the temperature around dropped drastically! The cold was piercing!
âWhatâs going on?â Everyoneâs expressions changed!
At that moment, the black energy in Broderickâs hand had already struck, tightly colliding with the painting!
Right at the moment of the collision, a shocking scene occurred!
The painting glowed, directly devouring the black energy!
This violent energy didnât cause even a tiny disturbance.
It was like a small stone dropped into the ocean, not causing the slightest ripple!
Ancient and simple aura emanated from the painting.
A sense of divine awe spread throughout Qinvor Mountain!
This aura was like an imperial power, making people want to kneel and worship!
âWhatâ¦Whatâs going on?!â Gasping, everyone was astonished!
What exactly was this painting? How could it be so eerie?!
Broderickâs face turned incredibly ugly! As if he had gone mad, he burst out with dazzling power in his hand, viciously smashing the painting!
But all the energy was easily absorbed by the painting without causing any ripples!
âHowâ¦How can this be?!â Broderickâs face was extremely disgruntled, and he couldnât help but step back two steps!
âHow does this boy have such a treasure?!â Ms. Haywardâs eyes widened in disbelief!
Such an enigmatic treasure was unheard of!
Everyone stared dumbfounded, only the man with the mustache laughed coldly.
âA bunch of fools, this is the masked womanâs stuff.â The man with the mustache sneered.
âIf Ethan can activate this painting, not to mention a Martial Saint, even a mighty realm cultivator would die!â
Ethanâs face also looked somewhat uneasy.
He hadnât expected the painting to be so powerful.
The power of Martial Saint was nothing in front of it.
âYou little beast!âSuddenly, Ms. Hayward exclaimed!
âYou dare to manipulate magical artifacts; this is against the rules!â Ms. Hayward roared with anger.
Ethan sneered, âAgainst the rules? So is using the powers of others by this Heaven Swallowing Python not against the rules?â
âNonsense!â Ms. Hayward shouted angrily.
âWhat evidence do you have that Broderick borrowed someone elseâs strength!â
Ethan sneered, âEvidence? He was just beaten by me like a dog, are you blind?!â
âIf he hadnât borrowed someone elseâs power, he would have been turned into a pile of minced meat by now!â
Ms. Hayward said gloomily, âNonsense! Little beast, if I donât teach you a lesson, you will never learn your mistake!â
Having said that, Ms. Hayward ignored her dignity, jumped up, and charged towards Ethan!
âShameless old beast!â Seeing the situation, Ethan couldnât help but curse loudly!
âBoom!â
At this moment.
A bizarre explosion suddenly came from Ethanâs body!
Ethan frowned upon hearing the loud blast.
âWhatâs going on?â Ethanâs eyebrows creased.âBoom!â
Another loud noise!
This time, the sound seemed even bigger!
Even Ms. Hayward heard the strange noise.
She stopped in her tracks and frowned, âWhat is that noise?â
âBoom!â
Another loud noise!
And this time, the sound was even louder, almost reaching everyoneâs ears!
âCrack!â
Immediately after, there was an explosive sound!
Then, they saw many treasures falling from Ethan Smithâs body!
Among them were the bronze sword and the powers of creation!
âWhatâs going on?!â Ethan Smithâs face changed drastically!
He hurriedly shouted, âMan with the mustache, collect the stuff for me!â
âDonât worry, this is my specialty.â The man with the mustache rolled up his sleeves and flew out with a âwhooshâ sound.
At this moment, Ethan Smith discovered that his Spatial Magic Artifact had shattered!
âHowâ¦how did this happen?â Ethan Smith scrunched up his eyebrows tightly!
Just then, another commotion came from the Spatial Magic Artifact.
Afterward, they saw two figures shooting out from the Spatial Magic Artifact!
These two figures were none other than the two powerful Guardians, Vernon Sherman and Hadwin Webster!
âWhatâ¦whatâs going on?â Ethan Smithâs eyes widened!
Staring at the two Guardians standing in front of him, Ethan Smith couldnât help but swallow his saliva.
He tried to release his divine sense to control these two Guardians.
However, Ethan Smith quickly realized something was wrong.
His divine sense couldnât connect with these two Guardians at all!
âDamn it!â Ethan Smithâs face changed dramatically!
He suddenly thought of something!
âThese Guardians⦠theyâve resurrected themselves on their own!â Ethan Smith exclaimed in horror!
He remembered the previous scene in the Immortal Slaying Sect when these two Guardians had self-resurrected, almost costing Ethan Smith his life!
If it werenât for the Masked Womanâs clothes suppressing them, Ethan Smith would probably have turned into a pile of bones by now!
At this moment, the two Guardians radiated a strong aura as they resurrected themselves, making them even more powerful!
Compared to when Ethan Smith controlled them, the Guardiansâ strength had now reached unimaginable levels!
Thinking about this, Ethan Smith frantically looked around and shouted, âEveryone, run! Run now!â
But how could they know the urgency of the situation? They didnât know how terrifying these Guardians were!
âWhat, are you giving up?â Dominic Taylor sneered.
âJust give up and stop trying to split us apart.â
âThatâs right! Thereâs no way weâre going anywhere now! Dream on!â
Ethan Smith grew impatient, knowing full well the horror of these two Guardians!
They had resurrected themselves and were not controlled by anyone!
In other words, they would attack indiscriminately! In their eyes, everyone was an enemy!
âHehe, little beast, have you brought out these two corpses again?â Ms. Hayward said with a sinister smile.
At this moment, she didnât know that these two corpses had resurrected themselves. She still thought it was Ethan Smith controlling them.
âUsing the same trick twice is useless, donât you know that?â Ms. Hayward shouted.
Ethan Smith opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
âNever mind, whatever you say.â Ethan Smith backed off two steps.
Ms. Hayward flipped her palm, and a Martial Saint Weapon appeared in her hand.
âThis time, I brought a Martial Saint Weapon. Your two corpses will probably be useless!â Ms. Hayward shouted.
