182 Chapter 182: Chaotic Body?
Leonard Schultz bitterly smiled and said, "The Schroeder Family's power in Chuzzle is beyond your imagination."
"Indeed.", Ashton Nicholson nodded slightly.
"Tristin Schroeder's father has been unrivaled in Chuzzle since ten years ago, and they are a large family with a long heritage."
"Three years ago, Tristin's father retreated to practice in seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster level. Once he comes out, Ethan Smith, you might be in big trouble.", Ashton Nicholson added.
"Grandmaster..." Ethan Smith muttered softly.
That's the same level as Cato Cain.
With Ethan's current strength, if he encounters Cato Cain, he would not stand a chance.
"Grandmaster is still a bit troublesome.", Ethan Smith rubbed his forehead.
But by now, there was no way for Ethan to turn back.
Remembering the text message from Emily Taylor, Ethan felt full of motivation.
Then, Ethan drove to send Leonard Schultz and Ashton Nicholson home.
Halfway through the journey, the temperature around them suddenly dropped.
It was early autumn, but it felt like the freezing winter.
Leonard Schultz couldn't help but shiver, "It's so cold."
Even Ashton Nicholson, a martial artist himself, felt chills.
"It's finally here.", Ethan Smith parked the car on the side.
Upon looking closely, Alvin Ward was standing in front of them.
He stood with his hands behind his back, eyes slightly closed, looking no different from an ordinary old man.
But the murderous spirit emanating from him was unprecedentedly strong!
"As expected, he's waiting for me here.", Ethan's eyes narrowed.
"Master Ward? Why is he here?", Leonard's brows furrowed.
Ethan didn't respond. Not only did he not hit the brakes, but he also stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards Alvin Ward!
Leonard in the car immediately panicked, "Ethan, what are you doing?! Stop the car!"
But Ethan paid no heed, as the car sped towards Alvin Ward!
"Ethan, have you gone mad?! Alvin is my good friend! Do you want to cause a death over this?!", Leonard yelled in panic!
Ethan still ignored him. Finally, the car violently crashed into Alvin Ward!
The car halted abruptly!
The impact was so massive that even the car's airbags exploded!
Looking up, they saw Alvin Ward's claw-like hands pressing against the car hood!
The car's hood was crushed, but Alvin Ward was unscathed!
"How... How is this possible?!", Leonard couldn't care less about the pain in his forehead, staring at Alvin Ward in shock outside the car!
Ethan glanced at Leonard and said coldly, "I told you, this Alvin Ward is probably not the one you know."
Leonard wanted to say something, but Ethan stopped him with a gesture.
"You both stay in the car. No matter what happens, don't get out.", Ethan instructed.
At this point, Ashton also realized something was off-kilter.
He hurriedly said, "Mr. Smith, let me go down with you."
"No need.", Ethan waved his hand.
"With your strength, you'll just hold me back."
Ashton Nicholson was stunned, then forced a bitter smile.
He didn't know when it started, but he was no longer on the same level as Ethan Smith.
After getting out of the car, Ethan looked at Alvin Ward.
"You must have been waiting for quite some time.", Ethan calmly gazed at Alvin Ward.
With his hands still behind his back, Alvin Ward said indifferently, "Hand over the bronze sword and the stone statue, and I will spare your life."
"You think you can avoid death?" Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow, "With that body of yours?"
Alvin Ward's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he burst into laughter, "I have really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be able to see it!"
"Speak, who are you?" Ethan Smith asked coldly.
"And where has the real Alvin Ward gone?"
Alvin Ward squinted, "You're just a dying man, do I need to tell you?"
"Is that so?" Ethan Smith's face grew cold, and a strong aura suddenly burst from his body!
Surrounding sand and stones were instantly swept away, and even the nearby trees shook slightly!
However, this Alvin Ward remained calm and was not affected at all.
"You're just an Inner Strength Master, and yet you dare to be insolent in front of me," Alvin Ward said coldly.
"When I was roaming the martial world, you probably weren't even playing in the mud!"
As soon as the words fell, Alvin Ward's palm reached for Ethan Smith!
"Good, I can use you to test this body." Ethan Smith raised his fist and confronted him head-on!
"You're courting death!" Alvin Ward's expression turned cold as he turned his fingers into a palm, seizing Ethan Smith's fist!
Next, bursts of black qi erupted from Alvin Ward's palm, seemingly about to envelop Ethan Smith's entire body!
"Hmm?" Ethan Smith suddenly felt an icy chill all over his body! He couldn't move at all!
Alvin Ward sneered, "You ignorant brat, this is dark energy, it can suppress all Inner Strength! Once encased by the dark energy within my body, your Inner Strength will be crippled! At that time, you'll probably become a useless person!"
"As I suspected!" Ethan Smith's face turned cold.
"You come from a sect in the southwest, don't you?" Ethan Smith asked coldly.
Alvin Ward laughed loudly, "You do know quite a bit! It's just a pity that you're about to die!"
Alvin Ward's face turned somewhat ugly, and he stared coldly at Ethan Smith, "You're actually cultivating with dark energy? Who on earth are you?"
Ethan Smith shook his head and sneered, "Not only can I cultivate with dark energy, but I can also cultivate with qi and Inner Strength. Didn't expect that, did you?"
After finishing his words, the dark energy around Alvin Ward grew stronger, almost enveloping Ethan Smith's entire body!
"Go to hell!" Alvin Ward's eyes flashed with madness, his body full of dark energy, seemingly wanting to devour Ethan Smith's body!
However, at that moment!
The black qi around Ethan Smith's body began to slowly dissipate!
Alvin Ward's pupils contracted sharply, and he frowned, "What's going on?"
Not knowing the reason, Alvin Ward released dark energy once again!
But after spreading for a moment, the dark energy began to disappear once again!
At that moment, Alvin Ward's face suddenly changed!
To his amazement, Ethan Smith's body was actually actively absorbing the dark energy!
"How is this possible?" Alvin Ward's face changed drastically, and he quickly let go, retreating backward!
The dark energy around Ethan Smith gradually disappeared, completely absorbed by his body!
"That feels amazing!" Ethan Smith opened his eyes, exhaling in relief!
Then, Ethan Smith looked at Alvin Ward and sneered, "Thank you for your generous gift, as a token of gratitude, I'll make your death quick."
Alvin Ward's face turned somewhat ugly, and he stared coldly at Ethan Smith, "You're actually cultivating with dark energy? Who on earth are you?"
Ethan Smith shook his head and sneered, "Not only can I cultivate with dark energy, but I can also cultivate with qi and Inner Strength. Didn't expect that, did you?"
Upon hearing these words, Alvin Ward's face suddenly changed!
"You... you're a chaotic body?" Alvin Ward screamed in shock!
"Chaotic body?" Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow, and somewhat curiously said, "What is that?"
Alvin Ward ignored him, staring at Ethan Smith with a look of shock on his face!
"Boy, if you can't be of use to me, I'll have to kill you, otherwise, no one will be able to stop you in the future!" Alvin Ward's dark energy surged, murder filling his pupils!
Ethan Smith frowned, "You still haven't told me what a chaotic body is."
"You will have no chance to know, go to hell and ask Yama!" Alvin Ward roared madly!
