Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 566: Chapter 556: Obtaining the First Golden Core_1

The black light grew larger and shone brightly under the sunlight.

At a glance, the shimmering black light seemed like a towering mountain.

“I didn’t want to do this… it’s you who forced me!” Joshua Hess’s mouth was bleeding, and he yelled angrily.

Ethan Smith sneered and said, “Those words should be mine to say to you.”

“Go to hell!” Joshua Hess simply couldn’t listen to any more words as he shouted and smashed the Mountain-Destroying Seal in his hand towards Ethan Smith!

“Rumble…”

The moment the light seal was thrown, it was like a real mountain pressing down on Ethan Smith!

The immense power stirred up gusts of wind, forcing the people around to retreat hastily for fear of getting involved in the impact!

The Mountain-Destroying Seal got more forceful as it came crushing from above!

In front of the Mountain-Destroying Seal, Ethan Smith’s frail figure seemed utterly vulnerable!

However, the powerful aura emanating from him made people not dare to underestimate him. It was as if he remained calm even as Tarz Mountain collapsed in front of him!

“Rumble!”

As the Mountain-Destroying Seal drew closer and closer to Ethan Smith, the immense light finally swallowed him in that instant!

Ethan Smith, who had been standing still all this while, slowly raised his hand at last.

His palm slowly closed, and golden light burst out instantly!

At that moment, it seemed as if his iron fists contained the power to devour the heavens!

“What a piece of crap Mountain-Destroying Seal, it’s not even that great!” Ethan Smith coldly spat out those words as he fiercely threw one punch at the Mountain-Destroying Seal!

“Rumble!”

The moment of impact, the world began to shake tremendously!

Ethan Smith’s punch, with its overwhelming power, instantly pierced through the black light!

“Boom!”

With another loud explosion, the impressive Mountain-Destroying Seal was shattered instantly, dissipating into smoke!

As for Ethan Smith, he looked calm and composed as if he had just done something insignificant.

Everyone stared in amazement, some even gulping down saliva.

Was the Mountain-Destroying Seal really destroyed by a single punch?!

That was Joshua Hess’s trump card move!

“How… how is it possible…”

At that moment, Joshua Hess was utterly desperate!

Even with his full strength, he couldn’t stand against Ethan Smith’s casual punch!

The gap between them had reached an irreconcilable level!

Ethan Smith coldly looked at Joshua Hess and said, “Is that all you’ve got? It’s nothing.”

Josha Hess, now truly afraid, was covered in cold sweat with his trembling body, eventually kneeling before Ethan Smith with a “thump”!

At that moment, Joshua Hess was no longer a proud figure but an ordinary old man, vastly different from the aloof sect master of the Great Saint Sect.

“Ethan Smith… spare me…” Joshua Hess knelt trembling on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Ethan Smith sneered and said, “Do you think that’s possible?”

Josha Hess suddenly raised his head as if remembering something and shouted, “Ethan Smith, I… I have three thousand-year-old herbs! I can give them to you!”

Ethan Smith shook his head and said, “If I kill you, those herbs will be mine anyway.”

Desperate, Joshua Hess racked his brains trying to find something to sway Ethan Smith.

“I… I have billions in wealth! I can give it all to you, just spare my life!” Joshua Hess urgently said.

Ethan Smith sneered and said, “Joshua Hess, don’t talk about useless things, you should prepare your last words.”

But Joshua Hess couldn’t give up. He had worked so hard to reach his position today and had sacrificed so much to become a Marquis!

“Ethan Smith, don’t you have a grudge with the Taylor family? I… I know a lot of information about the Taylor family, and I can provide it to you!” Joshua Hess desperately said.

“I can even… even infiltrate them as a spy! Then we can work together inside and out!”

Ethan Smith squinted his eyes and said, “Joshua Hess, if I’m not mistaken, the Taylor family has already abandoned you, haven’t they?”

Upon hearing this, Joshua Hess’s face suddenly turned pale, and a flash of panic was visible in his eyes!

Ethan Smith continued, “If the Taylor family hadn’t abandoned you, you wouldn’t have sought out Darian Hill.”

Josha Hess was now desperate, as all of his conditions could not move Ethan Smith, and it seemed that death was unavoidable today.

“You can’t kill me, you can’t kill me…” Joshua Hess kept shaking his head.

“I worked so hard to become a Marquis, and to finally sit in the position of sect master of the Great Saint Sect!” Joshua Hess shouted wildly!

“For the sake of becoming a Marquis, I was a slave for the Taylor family, living worse than a dog! I can’t just die like this!”

Ethan Smith coldly watched Joshua Hess, saying nothing.

Josha Hess seemed to lose his mind as he looked up and roared, “Taylor family, you are not human! I’ve slaved for the Taylor family and endured so much, yet now you turn your backs on me!”

“Kylan Taylor, you’re a beast!”

His painful roar reverberated through the entire area.

Yet there was not an ounce of sympathy in Ethan Smith’s heart.

Since he had chosen to rely on capital, he would inevitably be abandoned by capital one day.

He had to bear the consequences for the path he chose.

“Fine, fine, if you want me dead, none of you will live!” Joshua Hess’s face was filled with madness!

His whole body’s aura swelled, and his abdomen seemed to surge with a rapidly growing energy!

A destructive force was silently gathering!

“Not good, Joshua Hess wants to self-destruct!” Someone seemed to have guessed what was happening!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale with fright, and they scrambled to escape!

Ethan Smith watched Joshua Hess coldly and said, “You’re thinking of self-destructing, but I’m afraid you won’t have that chance!”

Before his words fell, Ethan Smith’s palm flashed golden light, and his physical strength was unleashed to the extreme!

“Crack!”

A fierce slap struck Joshua Hess’s head!

“Snap!”

With just a single slap, Joshua Hess’s head was shattered!

His body instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

And Joshua Hess’s pupils quickly turned gray, void of life.

The once-fearsome Joshua Hess was now dead.

The surrounding area gradually quieted down, and everyone sighed amidst their shock.

No one could have imagined that just a few days ago, Joshua Hess was still an awe-inspiring figure, and now, in the blink of an eye, he had become a lifeless husk.

“Truly, there are always new talents emerging to replace the old.” Someone quietly sighed.

Ethan Smith looked at the kneeling Joshua Hess before him, with a trace of excitement on his face.

“It’s time to test the effect of this golden core,” Ethan Smith whispered softly.

He had been looking forward to this day for too long! The golden core inside a Marquis’s body could be the fastest way to improve his cultivation!

Ethan Smith slowly raised his hand and slapped Joshua Hess’s abdomen.

His abdomen exploded instantly, revealing a bead the size of a marble, shining brightly in the dark dantian.

Ethan Smith reached for it, and the golden core fell into his hand.

“Is this the golden core?” Ethan Smith was excited beyond measure.
