Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: Battle Three Days Later!_1 Chapter 1645: Chapter 1645: Battle Three Days Later!_1 Ethan Smith looked at Forrest Middleton and asked, “Will there be a battle between us?”

Forrest replied indifferently, “Maybe.”

Ethan didn't linger any longer and turned to leave Cultivation Mountain.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly realized that he shouldn't rely on others for such matters, as no one was obligated to help him.

At any time, the person he should rely on the most was himself.

As Ethan descended from the mountain, the Deputy Sect Master and others quickly gathered around him.

“How did it go?” They asked anxiously.

Ethan glanced at the Deputy Sect Master and said, “In any case, you are all safe.”

“What do you mean?” The Deputy Sect Master was confused.

Without explaining further, Ethan turned around and left the Cloud Sect.

Inside the sect, there was peace and tranquility, but outside, chaos and turmoil reigned.

This wall seemed like a dividing line, separating the original world into two.

Countless black-robed men had occupied the nearby streets, asserting their dominance by treating the cultivators of the Southern Province as second-class citizens.

“Regardless, we must retrieve the painting scroll immediately,” a black-robed man said coldly on the street.

He seemed to be the leader of the group, revealing a trace of anxiety on his face.

The reason was simple: their painting scroll had been stolen, and there was still no news of the thief.

At that moment, another black-robed man hurriedly ran over.

“We found the painting scroll! It was stolen by a group of young people,” he said hastily.

Hearing this, the leader's pupils shrank, and he urgently asked, “Where are they now?”

“They're in that alley over there.”

The group wasted no time in heading toward the alley.

In the alley, seven or eight young people were captured, three of whom had already lost their lives.

The person leading the group was none other than Clara Cobbett.

At this moment, she was held captive by two black-robed men and couldn't move.

The leader quickly walked up to Clara and coldly asked, “Where's the painting scroll?”

Clara sneered without saying a word, and spat on his face!

This enraged the leader, who grabbed her by the neck and coldly said, “Are you trying to die?”

Her face turned red, and her breathing became extremely difficult.

Even in this situation, she clenched her teeth and defiantly said, “You'll never get the painting scroll!”

“Hand over the painting scroll, or I'll torture you to death!” The leader snarled.

But Clara refused to give in, biting down on her teeth and remaining silent.

“Insolent fool!” The leader was completely enraged, and a black light began to swirl around his hand. The light eventually gathered at his fingertips, forming a pure blackness.

“I want to see how long you can last!” The leader coldly said.

Then, he aimed his finger at Clara!

But at that moment, a golden radiance burst forth!

Before the leader could react, his palm was blown apart at the wrist!

“Ah!”

The leader immediately covered his wrist and howled in pain!

“Who's there?”

The black-robed men in the alley were suddenly alarmed, looking vigilantly all around.

At the entrance of the alley, a young man slowly walked forward.

Seeing the young man, Clara's eyes lit up with joy! She excitedly yelled, “Ethan Smith!”

Ethan remained silent, taking one step at a time towards the group of black-robed men.

“E-Ethan Smith? You're Ethan Smith?!” The leader stammered in panic.

Without saying a word, Ethan lifted his foot and gently stomped down.

“Boom!”

A golden light instantly swept across the surroundings!

Before the group of black-robed men could react, they were directly turned into bloody mist!

Seeing this, the leader's face turned pale with fright!

Trembling, he looked at Ethan and stuttered, “You… you…”

“Don't worry, I won't kill you,” Ethan said indifferently.

“Go back and tell your leader that I'll be waiting for him at Yenning Mountain in three days. Of course, if he's afraid, he can leave now with his people and go back to the North Plain,” Ethan coldly stated.

Hearing this, the leader couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

“Ethan Smith, you dare challenge our leader? Do you think you are the Leader of Cloud Sect?” The leader mocked.

Ethan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised his hand, shooting out a golden light!

“Bang! Bang!”

Two crisp sounds exploded in his ears, and the leader's arms were shattered!

“Ah!!!”

The leader screamed in agony, his knees involuntarily dropping to the ground.

Ethan looked at him coldly and said, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll kill you right now.”

Where would the leader dare say anything more? Enduring the pain, he turned and fled.

When he had run far away, Clara excitedly ran to Ethan's side.

“Ethan Smith! I knew you would never leave!” Clara's excitement was evident as she stood beside Ethan, her face full of joy.

Ethan glanced at Clara and asked, “Why did they want to kill you?”

Clara hesitated for a moment and said, “Because… I stole one of their painting scrolls.”

“You stole one of their painting scrolls?” Ethan was taken aback.

Clara nodded and said, “These people think that there's no one in the Southern Province who dares to oppose them, so they're very careless. I took advantage of the situation and stole one of their painting scrolls.”

As she spoke, Clara excitedly said, “Come on, I'll take you to get it!”

Following Clara, Ethan headed towards the hiding place of the painting scroll.

The hiding place was extremely well-hidden, and after a long journey, the two finally stopped in front of an Ancient Well.

“The painting scroll is hidden here?” Ethan asked in surprise.

Clara nodded and pointed at the Ancient Well, saying, “This well has been here for many years. I just threw the scroll in there. I don't know if it's still there or not.”

Without another word, Ethan activated his desolate divine eye and looked into the Ancient Well.

With the help of the desolate divine eye, Ethan's gaze reached the bottom of the well!

He saw the painting scroll lying silently at the bottom of the well, motionless.

“This painting scroll… might be able to help me reach the Middle stage of mighty realm cultivator,” Ethan secretly thought.

He knew that spiritual power and divine sense were the fastest ways to enhance one's cultivation.

So, without further thought, Ethan immediately jumped into the Ancient Well to retrieve the painting scroll.

Elsewhere.

The leader hurriedly arrived at the Lynch Sect and reported the news to the Godly King.

Inside the cultivation room, the Godly King stood by his side, whispering, “Master, Ethan Smith has issued a challenge to you. He's asking for a battle at Yenning Mountain in three days.”
