Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 864: Chapter 864: The Closest Encounter with Death_1

Feeling this surge of power, Ethan Smith’s face suddenly changed dramatically!

This power was exactly the same as the one he had felt in the Second Secret Realm!

Not only Ethan, but the Pavilion Master and Mike Taylor’s bodyguards also felt the terrifying force approaching!

Everyone couldn’t help but shudder, their hearts pounding!

“Is this…a Martial Saint?” Ethan exclaimed.

The Pavilion Master couldn’t help but stand up, his eyes looking towards the door.

“Mr. Taylor, please wait a moment, I’ll be right back,” said the Pavilion Master.

Ethan also got up, preparing to follow the Pavilion Master together.

At this moment, the Pavilion Master stopped Ethan and shook his head, saying, “This person is most likely coming for you, so it’s best not to show your face.”

Ethan couldn’t help but bitterly smile, “Do you think I can escape from a Martial Saint?”

The Pavilion Master opened his mouth, but ultimately could only nod in agreement.

The two jumped down from the Pavilion Master Building and headed straight to the square.

That force was still approaching, and as the distance grew closer and closer, Ethan’s face couldn’t help but become extremely ugly.

“What a terrifying power…” Ethan whispered.

In the face of this power, Ethan could hardly muster any thoughts of resistance!

It was like facing a mountain, the terrifying pressure making him feel extremely insignificant.

The figure was getting closer and closer, soon appearing at the entrance.

He walked slowly towards Ethan and the Pavilion Master.

Ethan’s face grew even more tense, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The Pavilion Master’s narrow eyes also rested on him, not daring to look away.

Finally, Star arrived in front of the two.

He looked down at them, his eyes showing no sadness or joy, as if he were staring at two mere ants.

“Lord Star?” The Pavilion Master seemed to recognize him after seeing his face.

“I’ve seen Lord Star before,” the Pavilion Master said respectfully, bowing slightly.

Star glanced at the Pavilion Master and said, “You know me?”

The Pavilion Master smiled, “When you became famous, I was still a child, but your fame left an indelible impression on my heart.”

Seeing the Pavilion Master’s attitude, Ethan couldn’t help but gasp.

This was the first time he had seen the Pavilion Master in such a humble posture.

“Since you know me, there’s no need for more words,” Star said coldly.

“Which one of you is Ethan Smith?”

Ethan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, “It’s me.”

Star nodded and said, “I’m here to kill you. I’ve been ordered to kill you.”

Ethan smiled bitterly, “You certainly don’t mince words.”

Raising his hand, Star said, “You took Emily Taylor away from the Second Secret Realm and angered the higher-ups. I must say, you’re quite bold.”

Ethan said with a bitter smile, “Can I understand that as a compliment?”

Star said coldly, “Those who are too brave often don’t live very long.”

As he spoke, Star’s fingers slightly bent, and Ethan suddenly felt a force appear out of thin air around his body!

This force was constantly contracting, as if to crush Ethan’s bones!

Ethan clenched his teeth, desperately calling on his body’s spiritual power to fight against this force!

Seeing the intense golden light erupting from Ethan’s body, the veins on his forehead bulged even more.

But even so, he still appeared extremely weak in front of the Martial Saint.

“Crack! Crack!”

Soon, the bones all over Ethan’s body began to make cracking sounds, as if they were about to be crushed.

Blood spurted from Ethan’s mouth!

“Lord Star!”

At this moment, the Pavilion Master hurried forward and said, “Lord Star, please show mercy!”

Star coldly said, “Are you trying to stop me?”

The Pavilion Master quickly said, “With my power, how could I be qualified to stop you?”

“Then get out of my way!” Star shouted coldly.

Still, the Pavilion Master stubbornly stood in front of Ethan. She opened her mouth to speak, but Star waved his hand!

The terrifying force, like a storm, directly knocked the Pavilion Master away!

Her delicate body slammed into the wall, blood oozing from various parts of her body!

With just a casual slap, the Pavilion Master was left barely able to stand up!

“Lord Pavilion Master!” Seeing this, Ethan angrily clenched his teeth, a wave of rage filling his chest!

Star said coldly, “You still have the energy to worry about others; no wonder you alarmed the higher-ups.”

Ethan gritted his teeth and said, “If I don’t die today… I will never let you off…”

“Do you think you have a chance to survive today?” Star snorted.

“Ah!!!”

Excruciating pain shot through Ethan’s body!

This pain was unbearable, almost killing him!

Just then, the Pavilion Master struggled to her feet.

She walked up to Star and said solemnly, “Lord Star, the Guardians have an agreement not to let Martial Saints come out. Are you going to break that agreement…”

Star glanced at the Pavilion Master and said coldly, “Are you trying to use the Guardians to threaten me? If I kill this kid and immediately return to the Second Secret Realm, who will know?”

“Even the Guardians can’t know everything.”

However, the Pavilion Master said gravely, “Lord Star, you are mistaken. Ethan is different from others.”

Star narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “What do you mean?”

The Pavilion Master said, “Lord Star, may we step aside and talk?”

“What, do you think you can buy time? Stop playing tricks with me,” Star sneered.

The Pavilion Master shook her head and said, “In front of you, no tricks would work.”

“I’ll only delay you for five minutes. I don’t think five minutes would change anything.”

Star fell silent.

He seemed to think there was some truth to the Pavilion Master’s words.

So, Star’s palm loosened, and the force surrounding Ethan’s body disappeared along with it.

Ethan collapsed to the ground with a thud, gasping for breath.

This was the closest he had ever been to death! This feeling left a faint sense of terror in Ethan’s heart.

“I’m only giving you five minutes,” Star said coldly.

“Don’t worry, I only need five minutes,” said the Pavilion Master.

With that, Star followed the Pavilion Master to the side.

The two stood not far away, discussing something inaudible.

Ethan’s eyes were fixed on the two, his heart full of worry.

Soon, the five minutes passed.

Star and the Pavilion Master walked back to Ethan’s side.

He looked Ethan up and down, his brow furrowing slightly.

“Is everything you said true?” Star asked coldly.

“Absolutely,” the Pavilion Master nodded.

Star took a deep breath and said coldly, “Fine, your name is Martha Evans, right? I’ll remember you.”

After dropping this sentence, Star turned around and walked away.

Ethan was left dumbfounded.

He got up from the ground and said with a shocked expression, “Lord Pavilion Master, what did you say to him?”
