Chapter 1789: Chapter 1789: The Ingenious Salena Carpenter_1 Chapter 1789: Chapter 1789: The Ingenious Salena Carpenter_1 It seemed that the burly man had an extremely strong obsession with Ethan Smith, and now he had even directly issued a challenge letter.

Of course, at this moment, Ethan Smith was not afraid of him at all. However, the evil thoughts in his heart had been haunting him. Ethan was very worried that once he made a move, he would not be able to control himself.

If he devours the burly man's primordial spirit in front of everyone, he would probably only have a dead end.

“If you don't want to die, take back this challenge letter…” Ethan Smith said while trying to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

The burly man laughed loudly, “What arrogance! Ethan Smith, I know you have some skills, but don't overestimate yourself. This is not your Southern Province. Everyone who can enter the Thunder Courtyard is not weak.”

Afterwards, the burly man threw the challenge letter at Ethan Smith and said, “Tomorrow, we shall battle.”

“You're really shameless, challenging a mighty realm cultivator at the Reversion Void Stage? No shame, huh?” Salena Carpenter said angrily.

The burly man laughed, “Don't worry, I, Russ Payne, never bully people. I will suppress my strength to the same realm as Ethan Smith.”

After saying this, the burly man turned around and walked away.

Ethan Smith's face became even uglier, and it seemed that he could hardly bear it any longer.

When he was being provoked, the evil thoughts in Ethan's heart suddenly increased dramatically! He found it hard to suppress them!

He sat there, trying his best to suppress the evil thoughts, and couldn't help but break out into cold sweat.

Salena Carpenter, who was nearby, walked over, patted Ethan Smith's shoulder and said, “Don't worry, I'll handle this matter.”

“Can you really do it on my behalf?” Ethan Smith shook his head.

Salena Carpenter grinned, “Don't worry, I have a way.”

Ethan Smith didn't say anything more, and didn't take Salena Carpenter's words to heart.

He closed his eyes slightly, fighting against the evil thoughts.

Soon, the news of Russ Payne challenging Ethan Smith spread.

That evening, Willa came to the cave abode and found Ethan Smith.

Seeing Willa approaching, Ethan Smith's face changed slightly.

He tried to act calm and said as steady as possible, “Willa, why are you here?”

Willa smiled and said, “Isn't it because of the Russ Payne incident? Russ Payne is a battle maniac. It's not personal against you. But you don't have to worry, he knows when to hold back.”

Ethan Smith nodded, and his forehead was covered with sweat again.

“Ethan Smith, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Seeing this, Willa immediately asked with concern.

Ethan Smith opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.

Salena Carpenter quickly walked over and waved her hand, “Ethan Smith is not feeling well. Let him rest.”

Seeing Salena dismiss her, Willa didn't say anything more.

“Take care of yourself, I'll come and see you tomorrow.” Willa said.

After saying this, Willa turned around and walked out.

Not long after Willa left, Salena rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go out.

“Where are you going?” Seeing this, Ethan Smith hurriedly asked.

Salena Carpenter grinned and said, “I'm going out to take care of some errands, a quick stroll, you just rest here.”

Before Ethan Smith could ask further, Salena Carpenter had already run out.

About an hour or so passed.

Salena Carpenter hummed a tune and returned from outside.

She stretched and said, “Damn, I'm sleepy, I have to go to bed.”

Ethan Smith frowned, sniffed, and found that Salena Carpenter's body faintly smelled of blood.

“What did you do?” asked Ethan Smith.

Salena Carpenter mysteriously said, “You'll know tomorrow.”

Ethan Smith didn't think too much, assuming she went out hunting, and didn't ask any further.

The next day.

A large crowd had gathered at the training ground of the Demon-slaying Peak, including the peak master.

Obviously, they were waiting for Ethan Smith and Russ Payne to fight.

“Let's go, don't let those bastards look down on us.” Salena Carpenter pulled Ethan Smith's arm and said.

Ethan Smith sighed, and in his heart, he could only pray that he would be able to control himself.

So, Ethan Smith followed behind Salena Carpenter and left his cave abode.

He walked all the way to the training ground. As soon as the crowd saw Ethan Smith, they immediately grew excited.

“Ethan Smith really showed up.”

“Otherwise? If he didn't accept the challenge letter, Russ Payne would have a reason to attack him directly. Coming or not coming, there's no difference.”

“Oh, it's a bit unfair when you think about it. Ethan Smith's primordial spirit was damaged, and his body was in bad condition. Russ Payne is taking advantage of the situation.”

“Would Russ Payne take advantage of someone's weakness? He will naturally suppress his own realm, keeping both people on par.”

The crowd was talking, but in Ethan Smith's heart, he was deeply worried.

Because the evil thoughts in his heart were constantly attacking him, it felt as if they would destroy his psychological defense at any moment.

Time was passing, one minute and one second at a time, and an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.

However, Russ Payne still hadn't shown up.

It was late, and people were getting impatient.

“Hey, Russ Payne didn't even dare to come. Does that count as his loss?” Salena Carpenter glanced in the direction of the peak master.

The peak master said solemnly, “Give it a moment. If Russ Payne still doesn't come, we'll consider him the loser.”

“Pfft.” Salena scoffed. She whispered into Ethan Smith's ear, “Russ Payne won't be able to come.”

Ethan Smith was taken aback, frowning, “Why can't he come? Did you… do something?”

Salena Carpenter was about to answer when she saw a cultivator carrying a badly injured Russ Payne walking over.

Russ Payne was covered in blood, with several broken bones and extremely weak breath.

Seeing Russ Payne in such a state, Ethan Smith anxiously looked at Salena Carpenter and said, “Is this… your doing?”

Salena Carpenter hummed a song without saying anything, but the meaning was already obvious.

“Peak master, Russ Payne is severely injured.” The cultivator put Russ Payne on the ground and said with a bow.

The peak master frowned and looked at Russ Payne, “What happened?”

Russ Payne opened his mouth and struggled to raise his finger, then pointed in the direction of Salena Carpenter.

“Was it done by Ethan Smith?” The peak master was taken aback.

Russ Payne shook his head with all his strength and said tremblingly, “It's… it's…”

“Hey, did you guys hear that? He admitted it, so let's leave it at that.” Salena Carpenter quickly interrupted Russ Payne's words.

Russ Payne suddenly became more anxious. He pointed at Salena Carpenter and tried to say, “Sal…Sal…”

“Absolutely Ethan Smith!” Salena Carpenter interrupted Russ Payne once again.

“Could it be someone other than Ethan Smith? Let's go, you should go back and rest.” Salena Carpenter smiled.

Upon hearing Salena's words, Russ Payne, who was already seriously injured, turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Seeing this, the peak master couldn't help but frown, waved his hand, “Okay, hurry up and take him back to rest.”

“Yes, peak master.”

Although Russ Payne struggled desperately, he was still taken away.
