Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Outside the gate, the plaque of the Great Saint Sect was erected once again.

Polly Reeves watched all this, silently weeping, but there was nothing she could do.

Since Ethan Smith’s “death,” everything seemed to have changed, even the world itself.

Nobody dared to stand up against the Capital City Martial Arts Association and the great aristocratic families anymore!

All martial artists were willingly submitting themselves to the major aristocratic families and the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

During this time, three prodigies emerged in the martial arts world.

It was said that these three prodigies were personally introduced by the Capital City Martial Arts Association, and their strength had reached the mid-term Military Marquis.

Almost no one was able to contend with these three people! Even the elegantly dressed young men from the great families were no match for them!

Capital City, the Green family.

Daphne Green sat in the huge Green family manor, quietly sipping tea.

In front of her was the second-ranked Blaise Rhodes.

“Mr. Rhodes, as far as I know, those three people are going to challenge you soon.” Daphne Green sipped her coffee and smiled faintly.

Blaise Rhodes snorted, “Those three are a bit arrogant, thinking they can call the shots in this younger generation!”

Daphne Green chuckled, “Mr. Rhodes, don’t underestimate those three. Everyone on the ranking list has already been defeated by them.”

Blaise Rhodes scoffed, “So what? When they meet me, that’s when their failures begin.”

“I’ve also received their challenge letter.”

At that moment, Emmett Middleton walked in from outside.

Seeing Emmett Middleton, Daphne Green slightly bowed and said, “Mr. Middleton.”

Emmett Middleton courteously replied, “Miss Green.”

“Did you accept their challenge letter?” Blaise Rhodes asked with a fake smile.

Emmett Middleton shook his head and smiled, “Mr. Rhodes, you know that I don’t like to draw attention to myself, especially when the strength of those three people is not weak.”

Blaise Rhodes coldly snorted, “Where did these three people suddenly come from? It’s really sudden!”

“It is said that the Capital City Martial Arts Association specifically created these ultra-powerful individuals to prevent the appearance of another Ethan Smith.” Emmett Middleton said with a faint smile.

Mentioning Ethan Smith, a trace of unease flickered across the faces of all three people.

“Mr. Middleton, do you think Ethan Smith is really dead?” Daphne Green asked.

Emmett Middleton spread his hands and said, “Although I don’t want to believe that Mr. Smith is dead, more than a month has passed, and I’m afraid the odds are not good.”

Daphne Green sighed slightly, “Ethan Smith’s appearance truly stirred great waves in the long-stable Capital City.”

Emmett Middleton smiled, “Yeah, even the Capital City Martial Arts Association attached great importance to him. Kylan Taylor even invited a Peak Form Military Marquis to protect him. It has been so many years since anyone has reached that level.”

However, Blaise Rhodes sneered, “I don’t think that Ethan Smith was all that capable. If he had met me, he would have died long ago.”

Emmett Middleton politely said, “Of course, Mr. Rhodes, your strength is evident.”

“By the way, I wonder if that island from last time is still there. We should visit again when we have time. The inner core there… is a cultivation holy item.” Daphne Green suddenly said.

Emmett Middleton joked, “Miss Green, are you looking for the inner core or Ethan Smith?”

“Neither.” Daphne Green shook her head.

“I’m looking for Emily Taylor.”

…

Inside the Immortal Slaying Sect.

Ethan Smith was almost turned into an ice sculpture, even his eyelashes had turned white.

The dark energy here seemed to be endless. Even though Ethan Smith’s absorption speed was extremely fast, the dark energy here showed no signs of depletion.

After such a long time, Ethan Smith gradually understood the source of this dark energy.This dark energy comes from the coffin!

Ethan Smith tried to practice lying in the coffin, but the strong dark energy inside it nearly took his life.

In a blink of an eye, another month passed.

During this month, Ethan Smith’s strength advanced from second-rank Martial Marquis to fourth-rank Martial Marquis.

Such speed would shock the world if it was known.

Staying in this tomb, Ethan Smith could hardly feel the passing of time, but deep down, there was a faint unease.

The worry about the outside world made Ethan Smith increasingly anxious.

“The man with the mustache hasn’t come to find me, so not much time must have passed,” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

With that, Ethan Smith closed his eyes again and continued to practice.

Time went by quickly, and soon summer turned to winter.

Another year passed.

Ethan Smith had been in this tomb for a whole four months!

His entire body had become freezing cold, barely feeling any warmth.

One day, Ethan Smith’s closed eyes slowly opened.

He frowned slightly and whispered, “I’ve reached a bottleneck again.”

Although Ethan Smith was a chaotic body, his golden core needed to reach a balance.

Now, the dark energy inside him had far exceeded his qi.

This made it impossible for Ethan Smith to strengthen himself with dark energy anymore.

Ethan Smith stood up and looked at the coffin, frowning and saying, “This is a treasure. It’s hard to give up just like that.”

The door of the Immortal Slaying Sect had been closed, and no second wave of people had entered for quite a time.

This was enough to prove that it was impossible to reopen the door from the outside.

“If I want to come back next time, I’m afraid I’ll have to rely on the man with the mustache,” Ethan Smith muttered.

However, the man with the mustache had come and gone without a trace, and meeting him relied on luck, so the uncertainty was too high.

After contemplating, a bold idea suddenly popped into Ethan Smith’s mind!

It was to take the coffin directly! In this way, wouldn’t he be able to absorb the dark energy inside the coffin anytime he wanted?

With this thought, Ethan Smith immediately got up and prepared to move the coffin.

It was unknown what the coffin was made of, but it was incredibly heavy.

Even for Ethan Smith, moving it was quite difficult.

Fortunately, his strength had greatly increased after reaching the rank of fourth-rank Martial Marquis, so he eventually managed to put the coffin into his Spatial Magic Artifact.

Ethan Smith didn’t linger, he turned and prepared to leave.

But after walking for two steps, he turned around and came back.

He stared at the two male corpses in front of him and whispered, “The man with the mustache said that these two people might be beings surpassing mighty realm cultivators, which means they are experts of the Reversion Void Stage!”

Above Martial Saint is Divine Annihilator, and mighty realm cultivators are one step further from the Divine Annihilator realm, while above the mighty realm is Returning to the Void!

It is said that those in the Reversion Void Stage are people who have reached the heavens, and their one punch can even shatter a small planet!

Not to mention the present, even looking back thousands of years, they are still top-notch existences!

“Damn, if these two male corpses could serve me, what would the Capital City Martial Arts Association count for?” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

Although these two male corpses had no soul and divine sense left, their bodies were indeed genuine Reversion Void Stage experts!

After thinking about it, Ethan Smith decided to bring these two corpses as well, thinking that there might be an opportunity to use them one day!

Even if it came to the worst, he could use these two corpses as weapons.

With this thought, Ethan Smith immediately included these two corpses into the Spatial Magic Artifact as well.
