Chapter 828: Chapter 828: The Technique of the Halcroen Sect

Upon hearing Ethan Smith’s words, a faint smirk fluttered across Tyler Wright’s face.

“Ethan Smith, are you always this cautious?” Tyler Wright asked.

“Having been tricked before, I’ve got to be,” Ethan Smith didn’t hide his concerns.

Tyler Wright paused, then said, “Okay, I’ll take a photo with my phone and send it to you.”

“I appreciate it.” Ethan Smith bent slightly as a gesture of gratitude.

Afterwards, Ethan didn’t linger. He said his goodbyes to the two, and left the Green family, hurrying towards the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.

Although Ethan trusted the Pavilion Master and Jackson Harris, he couldn’t help but worry about someone snatching his prize from him.

Soon, he arrived at River Town.

As soon as he alighted from the carriage, Ethan sensed something was amiss.

The atmosphere seemed peaceful, but it felt as if there was danger lurking beneath the tranquillity.

Ethan squinted his eyes and coldly commanded, “Since you’re here, why bother hiding? Come out.”

No sooner had he finished his sentence than several figures emerged from the shadows.

“Ethan Smith, we meet again.”

The speaker was Barrett Hill, the elder of the Halcroen Sect!

Four people stood by his side!

These four people’s auras weren’t powerful, but they gave off a strange pulse with every move.@@novelbin@@

“Barrett Hill, you escaped last time, and yet you dare return.” Ethan Smith coldly remarked.

Barrett Hill chuckled, “I underestimated you last time but this time, we are prepared.”

“Is that so?” Ethan’s face turned colder.

“Ethan Smith, our Halcroen Sect is still greatly interested in you. The offer still stands, join us, and you can be reunited with Emily Taylor. What do you think?” Barrett Hill smirked.

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but scoff, “A bunch of untrustworthy and ungrateful people. I gave you a chance but all you did was scheme against me. Do you still have the gall to say such things?”

“Well, aren’t you suspicious of us too?” Barrett Hill huffed.

“Ethan Smith, as long as you agree to join us, I can be the shot caller and give you three Mystic Realms!”

“Given your current state, what you lack most is qi, right? The Mystic Realm should be of great importance to you, correct?”

Ethan Smith pondered and said, “What you said is accurate, the Mystic Realm is indeed important to me.”

“If I had three Mystic Realms, that would be enough to help me step into the Half-step Martial Saint Realm.”

“But in wanting wealth, even an upright gentleman seeks the right way out. Regarding your sect, I don’t see the need to cooperate.”

Barrett Hill’s face froze at his declaration.

“In that case, no more wasted words, hand over Emily Taylor and Kenneth Minnx!” Barrett Hill coldly commanded.

“In your dreams.” Ethan Smith retorted with a hint of sarcasm.

In the midst of his speech, Ethan’s aura rapidly escalated.

The Power of the Martial Saint was unveiled without reservation at that moment.

“Perfect timing to test out a new technique I’ve learnt using you all,” Ethan Smith said, squinting his eyes.

However, at that moment, Barrett Hill took a step back.

“Ethan Smith, I am not a fool. You have the Power of a Martial Saint, so naturally, I would have to retreat for a while,” Barrett Hill coolly stated.

“These four will be your opponents.”

The moment his words fell, the four stepped forward.

They radiated a peculiar aura, one that was heavily oppressive.

Next, each of them took out a token from their hands!

The tokens were etched with complicated talisman symbols; beams of radiant light scattered from them.

In no time, the space around Ethan Smith became oddly distorted.

Even his spiritual power within his body was abruptly suppressed!

Ethan furrowed his brows and coldly inquired, “What kind of technique is this?”

Barrett Hill burst into hearty laughter, “This technique was designed specifically for Half-step Martial Saints. Within this space, your aura will be suppressed!”

“In other words, in this space, you’re just a common man, incapable of using any spiritual power!”

Ethan’s brows furrowed as he clenched and attempted to cast his technique, but to no avail.

“Is there such a bizarre technique?” Ethan Smith couldn’t hide his astonishment.

Barrett Hill sneered, “The Halcroen Sect has existed for hundreds of years, its foundation surpasses your imagination!”

“Act now, kill him!”

Following Barrett Hill’s command, the group swiftly charged towards Ethan Smith!

They held killing techniques, coming from tricky angles, directly targeting Ethan’s vital points!

The four were extremely fast, leaving Ethan with no place to hide!

“Boom!”

The four techniques fiercely hit Ethan Smith’s body!

A dense smoke rolled up, obscuring the line of sight!

“Hmph, he doesn’t know when he’s beaten.” Seeing the scene, Barrett Hill let out a cold chuckle.

“Bring his body back, the head wants it.”

The moment Barrett Hill’s words fell, his face dramatically changed.

He saw the four men being flung away. Their chest cavity was smashed!

“How’s that possible?! Has the technique lost its power?!” Barrett Hill exclaimed in horror.

“Did you think, by suppressing my spiritual power, I would just let you slaughter me?” Ethan Smith coldly retorted.

“Elder Hill, his physical power… it’s too frightening!” One of them struggled to speak.

Barrett Hill’s face darkened even more.

Although these four weren’t considered top-notch experts, they were at the peak of the Military Marquis Realm!

Four at the Peak of the Military Marquis Realm couldn’t even beat a suppressed Ethan Smith?

“Indeed, my spiritual power is suppressed, but my physical body hasn’t changed,” Ethan Smith clenched his fist.

“Just relying on these good-for-nothings, I doubt they could kill me.”

Barrett Hill squinted his eyes and muttered, “The Power of the Martial Saint probably transformed his physical body.”

True to Barrett Hill’s words, Ethan Smith’s physical body had now become as formidable as a Martial Saint!

“Luckily, I came prepared.” Barrett Hill’s lips curled into a chilly smirk.

He reached out his hand, and a broken blade appeared in his grasp.

“Martial Saint Weapon?” Ethan Smith’s expression subtly changed.

Under circumstances where his spiritual power was suppressed, Ethan Smith would have difficulty resisting a Martial Saint Weapon.

Especially when the person controlling the Martial Saint Weapon was a Half-step Martial Sage!

Barrett Hill held the sharp weapon and said calmly, “This isn’t a common Martial Saint Weapon. It’s a killing weapon, its power far surpasses that of ordinary Martial Saint Weapons!”

Ethan Smith sensed a dangerous vibe.

His eyebrows knitted together, and he clenched his fist, attempting to break this formation!

But this formation was unbreakable. No matter how Ethan tried, he was unable to use even a fraction of his inner spiritual power!

“Die!”

Barrett Hill roared in fury. He held the broken blade in both hands and transferred his surging energy into the blade!

The blade was immediately enveloped by an extremely domineering murderous spirit!

This murderous spirit was terrifying; it even carried an intense whiff of blood!

“Die!”

Barrett Hill grasped the broken blade and fiercely cut towards Ethan Smith!

Countless radiant streaks mixed with the Martial Saint Aura and murderous spirit lunged at Ethan Smith!
