Chapter 527: 527
“Clang!”
All four Martial Marquis Weapons fell to the ground.
Ethan Smith raised his foot and directly crushed the four weapons into smithereens.
Everyone’s faces turned unsightly, their hearts filled with monstrous astonishment!
They’d always heard of Ethan Smith, but had never seen him take action.
Today, having witnessed his ability, they were shocked beyond words!
“Not good, run now!”
Someone reacted first, attempting to turn and run!
Ethan Smith scoffed continually. He raised his palm and made a grip in the direction of the runners.
Instantly, the four of them felt their bodies clenched by an enormous force, unable to move!
“Trying to run now? I believe it’s too late,” Ethan Smith said coldly.
The next second, Ethan moved just a step, and in the blink of an eye, he stood before them.
The Heaven Swallowing Skill flared up and enveloped the four of them, devouring them along with their divine sense!
From a distance, Nathen Ayers and others gulped, seemingly unable to believe the scene unfolding before them.
“So powerful… truly lives up to his reputation!” Nathen Ayers exclaimed.
After dealing with those individuals, Ethan Smith turned to see Nathen Ayers.
He respects him and said, “Mr. Ayers, I urgently need dark energy now. If you are willing to lend me this Yin Side, I will double its return in the future.”
Nathen Ayers chose not to say anything. He took out the Yin Side and handed it to Ethan Smith.
“Mr. Smith, your reputation precedes you. You are a role model for our generation. Please go ahead and use this Yin Side.” Nathen Ayers spoke graciously.
Impliedly, many had already thought of Ethan Smith as their idol.
Furthermore, Ethan knew clearly in his heart that, if he could defeat Dexter Blair this time, his fame would reach the peak.
By then, initiating his own sect family would be no issue at all.
“Mr. Ayers, I will repay you,” Ethan politely said.
The Yin Side was a one-time consumable item. Once used, it would be gone.
However, there were endless sources of dark energy even yet untouched under the heavens, there surely would be a chance to repay Nathen Ayers in the future.
After securing the Yin Side, Ethan Smith didn’t linger further and left the room immediately.
Downstairs, the man with the mustache mumbled, “Alright, I’ve fulfilled my promise. Now, I need to hurry to the next journey.”
Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache and said, “If I have the opportunity, I will accompany you.”
“Sure, who wouldn’t like a helping hand?” the man with the mustache said with a grin.
After parting ways, Ethan Smith didn’t waste any more time and immediately headed to Chuzzle.
Time was short, and Ethan Smith couldn’t afford to waste even a second.
While on the plane, Ethan Smith began to absorb the Yin Side.
This Yin Side was a physical concentrate of pure dark energy, indicating its extremely potent concentration.
All the way, Ethan spent almost all his time absorbing the Yin Side.
By the time they reached Chuzzle, the black sheen on the Yin Side had already dimmed a few shades.
Upon returning home, Ethan Smith looked towards Edward Green and Sofia Carrillo.
“I will be conducting a closed-door training for the next few days,” said Ethan Smith.
He did some calculations regarding the time and said, “On September 8th, no matter what, wake me up.”
Edward Green nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith.”
Afterwards, Ethan Smith took the Yin Side and headed to the back mountain.
The date had already arrived on August 29th, only a few days away from September 9th.
The grand wedding of Dexter Blair and Emily Taylor was widely promoted, reaching every corner of the people’s ears.
Even the news, and the television, were broadcasting this event!
This was an alliance between two top-tier noble families. Whether it’s the martial arts world or ordinary people, everyone was paying attention to this event.
With the connections and resources of the Taylor and Blair families, almost all high-ranking individuals in Capital City could be invited to the wedding!
Both families had prepared the wedding venue well in advance, waiting for September 9th to arrive.
Time flew by.
Before they knew it, three days had passed.
During these three days, the Yin Side in Ethan Smith’s hand dimmed a few shades again.
The dark energy within it had been consumed by more than half!
His entire body was filled with infinite dark energy, slowly reaching a balance with the qi.
September 9th was getting closer and closer, and everything seemed to have calmed down.
However, everyone was aware that this was the calm before the storm.
On the Martial Arts Forum, there were endless news about Dexter Blair, but what most people discussed was whether Ethan Smith would appear at the wedding.
And the question was if their duel could take place as scheduled.
“That Dexter Blair has already slain a Martial Marquis, he must have already entered the Military Marquis Realm.”
“Yes, Ethan Smith is only at a half-step Martial Marquis, chances of winning seem slim.”
“Ethan Smith’s talent should surpass Dexter Blair. You should know Ethan Smith has come from nothing, and he did it only within a year!”
“Who in the world can achieve half-step Martial Marquis in just a year? Even the famed Ignacio Burke and Jackson Harris couldn’t have managed, could they?”
“If I were Ethan Smith, I would bide my time, wait until reaching Marquis status to exact revenge.”
“But unfortunately, Ethan Smith isn’t that type of person.”
Everyone unanimously agreed that Ethan Smith will surely show up at the wedding!
Capital City, Blair residence.
Members of the Blair family, along with the four Taylor brothers, were currently seated in a hotel discussing the wedding plans.
“Uncle Taylor, I toast to you.” Dexter Blair held up his wine glass in front of Kylan Taylor.
“Thank you for bestowing Miss Taylor to me.”
This made Hugh Taylor, who was sitting on the side, somewhat awkward. As Emily Taylor’s father, he wasn’t the first person to be toasted.
“Second Uncle, I also offer my toast to you.” Afterwards, Dexter Blair held his wine glass in the direction of Hugh Taylor.
Hugh Taylor took a sip and then said, “I only have one daughter, you must treat her well.”
Dexter Blair laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of her!”
Despite saying that, a vicious smile crept into Dexter Blair’s heart.
“Take good care of her? This whore fancies Ethan Smith. I swear I’ll make her suffer!” Dexter Blair darkly cursed in his heart.
At that moment, Kylan Taylor took a glance at Dexter Blair and inquired, “Dexter, are you confident in your duel with Ethan Smith?”
Dexter Blair smiled nonchalantly, “Uncle Taylor, rest assured. Ethan Smith is just a tiny ant. I could crush him with just a step!”
Reilly Blair, who was by the side also burst into laughter, “My son’s capabilities now are beyond question. Killing that Ethan Smith would be as easy as pie!”
