Chapter 2402: Chapter 2400: The Tragic Prince Chapter 2402: Chapter 2400: The Tragic Prince He had a deeper understanding of the Thunder and Lightning Laws these past few days, enhancing his insight into the Thunder and Lightning Escape Technique.
“Frederick Cohen, your speed is still a bit slow, take these Wind Boots.”
Ethan Smith took out a pair of shoes from the Sumeru Ring and tossed them to Frederick Cohen.
With his current speed, the Wind Boots were of limited use to him, and Frederick Cohen needed them more.
Frederick Cohen, without any hesitation, closed his eyes and began refining the Wind Boots.
Under Ethan Smith’s terrifying speed, the three of them arrived at Peach Blossom Island in less than an hour.
“Who goes there! This is the territory of the Nine Great Clans, get out immediately.”
A Green-robed Cultivator shouted angrily.
At the moment he spoke, a barely visible sound vibrated once, and hundreds of transparent poison needles, thin as hairs, violently pierced out from behind his robe.
The sky was covered with poison needles, enveloping the three of them–this Green-robed Cultivator had actually attempted to kill them upon first meeting.
Frederick Cohen slapped his hands forcefully, and a blast of Qi Jin erupted from his palms, directly scattering the hundreds of poison needles.
“You indeed possess some skill. If you leave now, I can pretend this never happened. But if the elders from the island come out later, don’t even think about leaving.”
The Green-robed Cultivator sneered coldly, quietly pinching a signaling arrow in his hand.
While he spoke, the signaling arrow shot into the sky, emitting a piercing whistle.
“Ha ha ha ha, three clueless beasts daring to cause trouble on Peach Blossom Island–do you not realize where this is?”
Hearing that someone had already arrived nearby, the Green-robed Cultivator completely relaxed.
Swoosh!
Ethan Smith’s sword pierced directly into his forehead, stirring his entire head, which immediately flew out.
“You talk too much.”
“Ethan Smith, you dare to come to Peach Blossom Island!”
A person from the Green family yelled loudly, his face filled with fear.
“A True Saint Fourth Grade individual, I really want to see if you are as strong as the rumors suggest.”
A Peak form True Saint Realm cultivator from the Wilson family sneered, his name was Ji Wankong. Ethan Smith had some impression of him, also a younger generation from the Wilson family.
He was a directly transmitted disciple of Chad Wilson, and his talents were indeed top-notch.
He placed his hands on his forehead, forming a spell, and the surrounding air seemed to instantly heat up.
A fire talisman slowly floated out from his forehead, and wherever it passed, sparks ignited in the space, even setting the air ablaze with terrifying high temperatures.
“Go!”
The fire talisman suddenly accelerated towards Ethan Smith, and just as it neared him,
Ji Wankong’s face revealed a ferocious cold smile, another talisman flew out from his sleeve like a breeze.
Arriving before the fire talisman, it suddenly exploded.
Tornado Curse!
Within the intense whirlwind, the wind aided the fire.
The flames burst forth like a volcanic eruption, filling the sky with a firelight reminiscent of the apocalypse.
Ethan Smith nodded secretly; this strike combined two techniques and almost reached the power of a first stage tribulation of the Heavenly Dao’s Law.
To emit such a strike with the power of a True Saint, this guy indeed deserved his reputation.
However, for Ethan Smith, who had once been to the Magma Core of Fire Scale Continent, this temperature didn’t even require him to use his protective chaotic qi.
Frederick Cohen, with a whoosh, wearing the Wind Boots, suddenly arrived above Ji Wankong.
And then a punch fiercely smashed down, and another Talisman was flung out from Frederick Cohen’s sleeve, exploding to form a Giant Shield, instantly blocking that punch.
“Brutish man.”
Frederick Cohen sneered coldly.
“Ha ha, then watch as I act recklessly just for you!”
The punch that hit the Giant Shield again unleashed monstrous strength; the Giant Shield emitted a groaning sound as if it couldn’t bear the load.
And then it directly shattered; the remaining force of that punch directly smashed Frederick Cohen down into the ground hundreds of meters below.
“Ethan Smith, this Wilson family has been involved with me for nearly a hundred years, these few geniuses just let me slaughter them, also letting me collect some interest, how about it?”
Frederick Cohen laughed heartily, not even waiting for Ethan Smith to respond.
He used his body as a weapon, ferociously slamming into the deep pit that Frederick Cohen had created.
“You didn’t even wait for my reply.”
He swept his divine sense out, starting to search for the location of the Prince of Holmes.
Suddenly his expression changed, and his body moved already rushing towards a Great Hall on Peach Blossom Island.
Seeing the direction Ethan Smith was headed, the expressions of dozens of cultivators changed, and they moved to block Ethan Smith.
“Get lost!”
Salena Carpenter slapped out, and the enormous Qi Jin directly flung those dozens of cultivators away.
“Prince, your task is already complete, let me escort you on this last journey, you see if you want these Three-headed Mastiffs to devour you, or let these Gold-quenching Ants crawl into your nostrils, gnawing your innards.”
Inside the house, a middle-aged man with a dark vulture-like face and eyebrows joined together emitted a shrill laugh, like that of a woman.
The Prince’s face was as white as paper, he lay on the bed silently, his thoughts unknown.
“Is the Prince really still unwilling to disclose the treasures of the Great Holmes Royal Family? You are about to die, reveal it and I promise you a smoother passing, you have experienced this servant’s methods! This servant served the former emperor and knows many secrets, don’t think of deceiving this servant.”
This was actually the eunuch Chu, the eunuch who had formerly been by the Prince’s side, who got turned against the Nine Great Clans to spy on the secrets of the Holmes Royal Family.
A royal family has countless secrets, scouting out a bit is already something.
“It seems the Prince prefers punishment to a toast, once these Gold-quenching Ants enter the body, getting them out won’t be that simple oh.”
Eunuch Chu opened the lid of a Jade Bottle, and a huge ant ferociously fell onto the Prince’s stomach.
The ant fiercely bit down, instantly creating a visible bloody hole in the skin.
The Prince’s body uncontrollably twitched, his expression remained unchanged as he stared at the ceiling of the Great Hall, seemingly turned into a living dead.
“Damn it, I don’t believe I can’t pry your mouth open!”
Eunuch Chu let out an angry screech.
However, his voice suddenly came to an abrupt stop, and before his eyes, everything went pitch black, as if falling into a boundless abyss.
His entire body was already directly smashed into mush by Ethan Smith; Ethan Smith looked at the Prince on the bed.
His body was naked, the Late Returning Void Stage Prince, now the bed reeked horribly.
His half body was already decayed, his vitality was even weaker than an ordinary person’s, it was unimaginable what kind of extreme torture he had undergone.
“He’s come.”
His eyes flickered, looking towards Ethan Smith.
“Yeah, I’m here, don’t talk yet.” Ethan Smith took out a Sacred Spirit Pill, putting it into the Prince’s mouth.
The Prince shook his head, pushing away the pill, and then slowly spoke.
“Help me with one last thing.”
“It’s simple if you want to die, or perhaps it’s the hardest, if after ten days you still wish to die, I will absolutely agree, but for now take this pill.”
Ethan Smith forcibly opened the Prince’s mouth, pouring the Sacred Spirit Pill inside.
