Chapter 580: Top-notch Big Shot
The terrifying wave of qi made the brows of those present furrow slightly.
Even Jordan Richards sensed a hint of danger in the air.
His face solemn, he released an outburst of Inner Strength and stared gravely at Ethan Smith!
“Rumble…”
The sphere of light continued to gather in Ethan Smith’s palm, growing larger and larger, resembling a colossal sun at first glance!
Ethan Smith’s eyes glared coldly at Jordan Richards.
“In such a small space, there’s nowhere to hide even if you want to,” Ethan Smith said coldly.
Jordan Richards narrowed his eyes and said, “Hide? I don’t need to hide. Come at me!”
Ethan Smith said nothing more, instead, he roared in anger and hurled the light sphere at Jordan Richards with all his might!
In that instant, the scorching white light obscured everyone’s vision!
At that moment, it seemed as if a sun had fallen from the sky, and waves of heat shook the entire space, making it buzz!
“Bring it on!” Jordan Richards roared in anger. His entire body now wrapped in a dark golden light, he fiercely thrust both hands towards the massive light sphere!
“Rumble!”
A deafening explosion occurred! Relying on his armor, Jordan Richards astonishingly resisted the sphere with his flesh!
“Clang!”
The immense force of the impact sent Jordan Richards flying back dozens of meters!
Not only that, but his dark golden armor had taken a dent!
Jordan Richards’ expression changed slightly, and he yelled angrily. His hands were immediately enveloped by Inner Strength as he made a desperate effort to counter the light sphere!
“Rumble…”
This was a confrontation between mid-term Military Marquises, causing the surrounding area to be on the verge of collapsing!
Jordan Richards’ forehead vein pulsed, and his vision was nearly obliterated. All he could see was an expanse of white!
“Ahhh!!”
Jordan Richards roared angrily again and again. It was evident that this technique was putting immense pressure on him!
His arm veins bulged as his body was continuously pressed downward.
Even the armor on his body made cracking sounds at this moment!
“Break!”
Accompanied by Jordan Richards’ angry roar, the qi emanating from his body reached its maximum!
The light sphere finally began to slowly disappear.
Jordan Richards panted heavily, with cold sweat continuously streaming down his forehead.
He wiped the sweat off and sneered, “Ethan Smith, I must admit, this technique has caused me quite a bit of trouble, but it’s still not enough to bring me down! You…”
Jordan Richards’ words were cut off, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The four people who had performed the spatial spell also appeared somewhat at a loss.
“Where is he?!” Jordan Richards shouted angrily.
“We… we don’t know either,” the four said awkwardly.
Looking around, Ethan Smith’s figure was nowhere to be found in this space!
On the other hand, a massive gap had appeared in the spatial barrier, and Ethan Smith’s figure had long vanished without a trace!
“He actually took the opportunity to escape,” Jordan Richards said with an unhappy expression on his face.
Only at this moment did he understand the true purpose of the light sphere. It was not to repel him but to distract his attention and escape!
“He played me,” Jordan Richards took a deep breath, veins protruding on his forehead.
Enraged, his face turned livid.
At this moment, Ethan Smith was fleeing at full speed.
“Idiot, who wants to fight you to the death?” Ethan Smith sneered as he ran.
As for Jordan Richards, Ethan Smith didn’t know the true extent of his strength.
However, Ethan Smith was very clear that the Capital City Martial Arts Association had countless methods at their disposal. Even if Jordan Richards couldn’t kill him, they would still have ways to capture him and bring him back.
After running several kilometers, Ethan Smith finally stopped.
He took a deep breath and frowned, “A mid-term Military Marquis can still put pressure on me.”
Ethan Smith secretly speculated in his heart that if they were to genuinely fight to the death, it would be difficult to say who would win or lose.
But even if he could barely defeat Jordan Richards, he would likely be gravely injured in the process.
By then, it would be effortless for the Capital City Martial Arts Association to capture him.
Jordan Richards tried to search for Ethan Smith’s figure again but realized that his technique had already failed.
After all, he had only obtained a single strand of Ethan Smith’s hair, which couldn’t maintain the effect for very long.
“Huff.”
Jordan Richards wore an unhappy expression.
This was his first failure.
“Interesting,” Jordan Richards harrumphed.
He looked at the person beside him and said, “Make a call and have the local authorities search for him.”
“Yes, Mr. Richards,” the person beside him nodded immediately.
…
For the next two days, Ethan Smith didn’t stop for even a moment.
On the third day, Ethan Smith finally arrived at the Capital City Airport.
As agreed, today Ethan Smith was accompanying Pavilion Master to a meeting.
Although he wasn’t sure what the meeting was about, Ethan Smith trusted that Pavilion Master would not harm him.
After waiting at the airport for about an hour, Ethan Smith finally spotted Pavilion Master’s figure.
“Lord Pavilion Master!” Ethan Smith walked forward quickly and greeted him.
Pavilion Master looked Ethan Smith up and down for a moment, and after making sure he was alright, he nodded slightly and asked, “Have you encountered any trouble in the past few days?”
Ethan Smith gave a bitter smile and said, “Yes, the Capital City Martial Arts Association sent someone named Jordan Richards.”
Upon hearing the name Jordan Richards, Pavilion Master’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Did you meet with him?” Pavilion Master asked.
Ethan Smith nodded and said, “Yes, that man’s strength is not simple. Even if I were to give it my all, I might not be able to kill him.”
Hearing this, Pavilion Master couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Then, she looked somewhat pleased and said, “I never expected that you have grown to this extent.”
“In the Capital City Martial Arts Association, Jordan Richards is quite famous. Many internationally renowned Martial Marquises were captured by him. If you had killed him, the Capital City Martial Arts Association might have been in chaos.”
Ethan Smith said coldly, “The next time I encounter him, I will definitely kill him.”
Pavilion Master smiled and said, “The time is about right. We should get going.”
The two hailed a taxi and headed towards the conference venue.
On the way, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Pavilion Master, what kind of meeting are we attending?”
Pavilion Master said solemnly, “A very important meeting, a meeting facing important figures.”
Important figures?
Even Pavilion Master referred to them as important figures, so this meeting might indeed be no simple matter.
After two hours of driving, the car finally stopped in front of a meeting venue.
The scale of the meeting venue was not colossal, but its atmosphere was majestic.
Most of the vehicles parked at the entrance were not luxury cars but mostly Audi A6s and Volkswagen models.
“This is the place,” Pavilion Master said.
She looked at Ethan Smith and instructed, “Remember to control your temper while we’re inside. Don’t speak carelessly, or you might attract trouble.”
Hearing Pavilion Master’s words, Ethan Smith seemed to understand something.
This meeting was probably facing official figures.
“I understand,” Ethan Smith nodded.
At that moment, another car drove up from not too far away.
As soon as the car stopped, Ethan Smith saw a familiar figure.
It was none other than Emerson Holmes!
Next to him stood an old man clad in a white robe, with white hair.
