Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 2257 – 2257 2255

Chapter 2257: Chapter 2255 – Want to Leave? Too Late! Chapter 2257: Chapter 2255 – Want to Leave? Too Late! Ethan Smith paid no mind to those ranting individuals. He moved his hand and grabbed the Soul-binding Rope.

“Ethan Smith, I must admit that this divine artifact is quite impressive, but the more powerful a magical artifact is, the more spiritual power it consumes. How much qi do you have left to confront us with?”

Alijah Grimes gave a glance to one of the cultivators under his tutelage, and that man took a step forward and said to Ethan Smith.

“You can try it.”

Ethan Smith retorted with a cold laugh.

If he were in any other space, activating those few techniques would have drained a lot of his Chaotic Power.

However, at this moment on the Fire Scale Continent, it was exceptionally easy to invoke the fire qi of this continent with the Fire Qilin's Inner Pellet. Therefore, the previous battle with the Azure Sky Palace only consumed about thirty percent of his Chaotic Power.

Even now, faced with so many people, he was entirely unfazed.

“Everyone attack together. This guy not only has the divine artifact gloves made by Master Solin, but also the Soul-Binding Rope of Azure Sky Palace. If we can get either one of them, our strength will greatly increase.”

Nang Vub spoke, his eyes flickering. The two disciples beside him immediately understood and suddenly made their move.

One person drew a knife atreat, and in an instant, his knife qi reached its peak, then hacked down towards Ethan Smith.

The other person also moved quickly, taking advantage of his comrade's attack to get behind Ethan Smith, and with a palm full of Corpse Qi, struck Ethan Smith's back.

“Good, it worked!”

A brutal smile spread across that man's face.

Ethan's face remained unchanged, the light around his body rotating, and the surrounding fire qi flowed along the large knife and palm.

The people around only saw a flash of fire, and the two attackers entire bodies were aflame, rolling on the ground and howling in agony.

Alijah Grimes' face instantly turned exceedingly ugly, observing that Ethan in no way appeared to be exhausted of qi.

Then, several foolish individuals began to perceive that Ethan was almost at his limit, so they secretly sprang into action.

“Die! Leave the divine artifact.”

A figure as elusive as a ghost quietly approached Ethan Smith, and suddenly a dagger slid towards Ethan Smith's throat.

Ethan Smith didn't move at all, and the dagger made a crisp 'ding' sound as it stuck to his throat, unable to pierce his skin.

“Arrogant! Take this!”

The attacker shouted, the qi rushing on the dagger, trembling feverishly.

However, no matter how much force he used, he was still unable to pierce it any further.

“What? Such hard skin?”

His voice trembled a bit, and seeing Ethan Smith's cold eyes staring at him, he immediately tried to retreat.

An energy as hot as the extreme covered him, and in an instant a huge fireball started burning fiercely on his body.

Aargh!

That sneak attacker let out a horrifying scream before his body was reduced to a cinder.

“Let him off for the moment. He can use the divine artifact to invoke the fire energy in Fire Scale Continent, just like a fish in water. But once he steps out of the Fire Scale Continent, hmph!”

Alijah Grimes looked extremely grim, and after a long hesitation, he finally said.

Although they gained nothing this time, the primary rival, Azure Sky Palace, had lost nearly all its strongest powers. If they could absorb this force next, the powers of Profound Yin Sect would greatly increase.

“Master, our Profound Yin Sect is no worse than the Azure Sky Palace, and there are so many cultivators here. Can he turn the tables?”

Nang Vub purposely said in a loud voice.

“Enough, as your Master, I promised not to do anything today and should keep my word. My friend, today we Profound Yin Sect can refrain from acting, but you need to swear by the Heavenly Dao, and hand us the Soul-Binding Rope, as promised by the Azure Sky Palace. This will serve as a price for us to refrain from action. Meanwhile, you also need to give us a Tribulation Stage artifact.”

Alijah Grimes sighed, looking at Ethan Smith.

“Otherwise…”

He narrowed his eyes, making no attempt to hide his threat.

“Or else?”

Ethan Smith asked with a gleeful smile, his foot stomping down hard.

A red stream of qi surged directly into the depths of the earth with that stomp, and then, with a loud boom, exploded near Alijah Grimes.

A few cultivators from the Profound Yin Sect who couldn't evade in time were instantly soaked.

The terrifyingly high temperature almost melted their bones. Those with quick reactions managed to escape its wrath.

“Ethan Smith, deal with that bearded Callum Miller for me. That man was behind all the kidnappings.”

From the Sumeru Ring, the harsh cursing of the man with the mustache could be heard.

Ethan Smith shifted his divine sense into the Sumeru Ring. At this moment, Salena Carpenter was on her last legs, and while Elder Baker and the man with the mustache were battered, their lives were not in immediate danger. However, Heath Perez had fallen into a coma, and no amount of calling would wake him.

Heath Perez had already endured torture from the Blood Sect while in the Purgatory Seventh Layer. Before he had time to recover, he underwent Luna's Soul Punishment. As the weakest among them, his breath was now almost imperceptible.

“Damn it!”

Ethan Smith's pupils slowly filled with blood as he stared intently at Callum Miller.

Bang!

The air seemed to explode from the extreme compression, amidst a deafening explosion.

A massive Magma Fist hurled towards Callum Miller.

“Master, save me!”

Color drained from Callum Miller's face. In front of the huge Magma Fist, the air was burned to emptiness.

He was struggling even to breathe, the near-death experience triggering his wails.

“Stop!”

Alijah Grimes bellowed in anger, unsealing a gourd from which a torrent of Corpse Qi poured out. The Corpse Qi seemed infinite as it formed a huge palm to block the Flame Fist.

Upon contact between the palm and fist, the smoke rapidly evaporated under the intense heat, releasing a noxious stench of death.

The shrill wail echoed throughout the space. The Corpse Qi contained countless resentful spirits, and the eerie sound sent chills down everyone's spine.

Boom!

The Flame Fist ultimately disappeared, and in an instant, one-third of the Corpse Qi evaporated.

Alijah Grimes grimaced in pain. He had collected and refined these Corpse Qis from the most resentful divine souls. Such a massive amount of Corpse Qi was consumed in a single punch.

“Today, everyone else may leave, but you must die!”

Ethan Smith's voice was icy cold.

“Everyone, we only stand a chance if we work together. Otherwise, once this boy escapes, we will dash all hopes of obtaining the divine artifact.”

Alijah Grimes declared loudly.

Its not that the people around were fools; they all kept quiet in agreement.

Alijah Grimes took a deep breath, and stopped holding back.

The Corpse Qi gushed out of the gourd, forming an armor around him. A monstrous Evil Ghost face behind him stared fixedly at Ethan Smith.

Bang!

Alijah Grimes moved in front of Ethan Smith and landed a punch on him.

“Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish.”

His face twisted into a grotesque expression as they quickly exchanged hundreds of blows.

Despite Ethan Smith's robust body, he felt a wave of turbulence in his vitality.

The Palace Master of Azure Sky Palace was primarily a cultivator of the Soul Dao, and had limited means when it came to physical Qi cultivation.

However, Ethan's Divine Soul has just recovered, now invincible at this moment.
