Ethan Smith had long guessed that Ms. Hayward, a spinster without children, was fully dedicated to the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
People like her, even if it meant their own death, would never betray the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
And Ms. Hayward cared deeply about Broderick, so Ethan Smith was left with no other choice.
Ethan Smith picked up the battered Broderick, turned around and was about to leave.
At that moment, Ms. Hayward stepped forward and blocked Ethan Smithâs way.
She glared at Ethan Smith fixedly, her voice slightly hoarse as she said, âLet him go!â
Ethan Smith sneered, âCanât you understand what Iâm saying?â
Murderous spirit erupted from Ms. Hayward. She glared at Ethan Smith with anger, roaring with all her might, âLet him go!!!â
Despite Ms. Haywardâs passionate plea, Ethan Smith remained unmoved.
He held Broderick and coldly said, âAs long as you faithfully guide me to the Mystic Realm, I will naturally not kill him. Otherwise, be prepared to collect his corpse!â
Having said this, Ethan Smith turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, Ms. Hayward suddenly pulled out the Martial Saint Weapon!
She held the Martial Saint Weapon and roared almost madly, âIâll say it again, let him go!!!â
The moment the Martial Saint Weapon was drawn, the expressions of those around immediately changed and they instinctively stepped back.
Even Ignacio Burkeâs face showed a hint of unease.
He knew how powerful this Martial Saint Weapon was!
Only Ethan Smith remained unmoved. He coldly stared at Ms. Hayward, narrowing his eyes and said, âAre you threatening me?â
Ms. Hayward was beyond listening at this point. She gritted her teeth and said, âIâll say it one last time, let go of him!!â
âImpossible!â Ethan Smith replied icily.
âThen go to hell!!â
With a loud roar from Ms. Hayward, the Martial Saint Weapon in her hand immediately began to glow!
A moment later, an aura of a Martial Saint emanated from it, it rushed towards Ethan Smith!
Ethan Smith was holding Broderick with one hand and the other hand formed a fist.
An endless amount of energy quickly converged on Ethan Smithâs fist!
âEven if itâs a Martial Saint Weapon, so what!â Ethan Smith roared in anger, and then he threw a punch with a mighty Golden Fist!
âBoom!â
A loud explosion erupted between the two!
Light exploded everywhere, and Ethan Smithâs radiant Golden Light turned out to be so destructively powerful that it scattered the Martial Saint Aura!
âThud thud thud!â
Under this powerful blow, Ms. Hayward was forced back several steps, and even sprayed out a mouthful of blood!
The Martial Saint Weapon in her hand was instantly damaged!
âDo you think just because you hold a Martial Saint Weapon, I would be afraid of you?â Ethan Smith said coldly.
His voice wasnât loud, but it reached everyoneâs ears!
The scene fell into dead silence, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Ignacio Burkeâs eyes widened in disbelief!
âDid Ethan Smith⦠actually break the Martial Saint Weapon?â
âHas Ethan Smith become so formidable now? Not even a Martial Saint Weapon can stop him?â
âI canât believe it, has Ethan Smith actually reached the realm of the Martial Saint? But wasnât it said that no one below the Martial Saint could resist a Martial Saint Weapon?â
The scene was buzzing with murmurs, the elegantly dressed young men from the aristocratic families couldnât help but gasp in astonishment.
Dominic Taylorâs face became even more gloomy, and his fists clenched tightly!
âMs. Hayward, you better go back and discuss this with your superiors.â Ethan Smith said coldly.
âLet him go!â The obstinate Ms. Hayward, was still not giving up.
Ethan Smith sneered, âIâll take Broderick, and you canât stop me.â
Having said that, Ethan Smith grabbed Broderick and turned to leave.
The crowd watched Ethan Smith leave, not daring to say a word.
But they all knew, after todayâs battle, Ethan Smith had truly made a name for himself.
And if the Great Families wanted to stifle Ethan Smithâs growth, it might not be so simple anymore.
â¦
Ethan Smith didnât return to the Capital City Martial Arts Academy, but instead went back to the rented house he used to live in.
He threw Broderick aside, sealing his life gate with his Qi to temporarily save his life.
The man with the mustache followed behind, murmuring, âThis Power of Martial Saint is really terrifying!â
Ethan Smith couldnât help but sigh, âYes, Iâve merely borrowed the power of the Martial Saint, yet itâs so powerful. If I enter the Martial Saint Realm, I canât imagine how terrifying it would be!â
Just then, a mournful sound came from the mustache manâs Spatial Magic Artifact.
âDim Prison Jar!â The man with the mustache immediately retrieved the Dim Prison Jar from his Spatial Magic Artifact.
This voice was indeed Colin Mcdanielâs
âKill me⦠kill meâ¦â Colin Mcdaniel almost begged.
Ethan Smith glanced at him, sneered, âAs long as you hand over the spiritual fire, I will naturally satisfy you.â
âJust let me out of this jar, I will promise you anythingâ¦â Colin Mcdaniel pleaded bitterly.
Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache and signaled him to let him out.
The man with the mustache immediately took the hint and released Colin Mcdaniel from the Dim Prison Jar without a word.@@novelbin@@
At this point, Colin Mcdaniel was completely unrecognizable. He collapsed on the ground, covered in blood, and his aura was extremely weak.
âWhereâs the spiritual fire?â Ethan Smith asked coldly.
Colin Mcdaniel weakly said, âEthan Smith, youâ¦youâre ruthlessâ¦â
After finishing his words, Colin Mcdaniel struggled to lift his palm, a tiny flame gathered in his palm.
The flame was purple and about the size of a lotus.
Compared to Ethan Smithâs spiritual fire, Colin Mcdanielâs flame seemed somewhat insignificant.
Ethan Smith immediately shook his hand, and his flames rose up.
After that, he used his own spiritual fire to engulf Colin Mcdanielâs fire.
In an instant, the flames were completely swallowed up.
Colin Mcdaniel raised his head and struggled to say, âEthan Smith, can you spare my life? I know you have big ambitions. I can help you with alchemyâ¦â
Ethan Smith sneered, âI donât need it. Your character is too bad, and besides, I have a better candidate.â
Having said that, Ethan Smith directly slapped Colin Mcdanielâs body into pieces.
After killing Colin Mcdaniel, Ethan Smith placed the spiritual fire in his own palm.
This flame was obviously a lot bigger, and the power had also become much stronger.
âIf I punch out that ultimate punch now, the power might be even more terrifying,â Ethan Smith thought to himself.
The growth of spiritual fire is extremely difficult, unrelated to spiritual power, it can only be increased by swallowing othersâ flames.
Ethan Smith put away the flame. He looked up at the sky and said softly, âNow it all depends on Ms. Haywardâs decision.â
The man with the mustache said in a deep voice, âDo you think Ms. Hayward would betray the Capital City Martial Arts Association for Broderick?â
Ethan Smith was silent for a while, then said, âI think she will. To Ms. Hayward now, Broderick is like her own son.â
âBesides, at her age, she might already be craving for the warmth of a family.â
