Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 711: Chapter 711: The Ruthless Old Woman

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow, a touch of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“Are you serious?” Ethan Smith stared intently at Clarissa Johnson.

If the Halcroen Sect is really willing to provide a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material, that would indeed be a dilemma.

Clarissa Johnson shook her head: “I didn’t bring the herb, but Mr. Osborne has a message for you.”

“A message?” Ethan Smith frowned even more.

Clarissa Johnson continued: “This message is about the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material. In a month, a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material will appear.”

Saying this, Clarissa Johnson took out her phone.

A location was marked on the map on her phone.

This location was in the southwest of Pyro, near the border.

Ethan Smith stared at the location, saying, “The medicinal material will appear here?”

Clarissa Johnson nodded: “Indeed. The news is relatively unknown, not many people are aware of it.”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sneer: “Few people know now because the medicinal material has yet to appear. Who knows how many people have already started scheming in secret.”

Clarissa Johnson shrugged: “This is the limit of what the Halcroen Sect can offer.”

Ethan Smith jokingly said: “It seems that the Halcroen Sect’s resources are limited.”

To this, Clarissa Johnson did not respond.

Ethan Smith silently took note of the location, saying, “Alright, I should go now. As for this medicinal material, I will make a try.”

“Mr. Smith, be careful. The appearance of the ten-thousand-year-old medicinal material will definitely attract various forces.” Clarissa Johnson cautioned.

“These forces will not only be limited to domestic families, but may also attract foreign powers and many hidden elders.”

Ethan Smith casually said, “Since you know, and you’re still letting me go fetch it, I’m starting to suspect you’re using me as cannon fodder.”

Clarissa Johnson wryly smiled: “Impossible, Mr. Smith, we’re just having difficulties acting domestically. But I believe they will secretly help you.”

Ethan Smith did not continue the conversation.

He waved to Clarissa Johnson and left.

When it came to the Halcroen Sect, Ethan Smith couldn’t entirely trust them.

Especially after they threw out such significant news, it made Ethan Smith even more suspicious of the Halcroen Sect’s motives.

When Ethan Smith rushed back to the Green Moon Villa, it was already the next morning.

The first thing he did when he got back was to rush into Clare Richardson’s room.

Clare was still sleeping soundly, and Ethan’s sudden invasion startled her.

She quickly clutched her blanket to cover her chest and exclaimed: “What… what are you doing? Pervert, get out!”

Seeing Clare was fine, Ethan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He joked, “With your figure, even if you don’t cover up, there’s nothing to see.”

After dropping that comment, Ethan quickly ran out to avoid Clare’s wrath.

Meanwhile, in Capital City.

The Martial Arts Academy had officially given the go-ahead, and countless people came to register.

This time, the Capital City Martial Arts Association claimed not to limit any identities, and anyone with talent was welcome.

This seemingly altruistic act was actually a veiled self-interest.

In doing so, the Capital City Martial Arts Association needed to expend only a little resource to snatch up most of the prodigious talents in the world, silently expanding the association’s ranks.

Ethan Smith could see their intentions, and naturally so could the higher-ups.

But the Capital City Martial Arts Association had existed for many years and held powerful sway in the world of martial arts.

So even the official authorities were unwilling to cut ties abruptly.

Everything was moving smoothly, and many talented people from great families started joining the academy.

At the moment, within the Capital City Martial Arts Association, an old woman with a hunched back was standing in a square hidden in shadows.

In front of her stood eighteen people in black and gold robes!

“Ms. Hayward, what do you need us for?” someone asked.

A glint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the old woman known as Ms. Hayward.

She sucked in a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: “My Heaven Swallowing Python was severely injured by Ethan Smith, and it still has lingering problems…”

Mentioning this matter filled Ms. Hayward with uncontrollable anger!

The numerous men in black and gold robes glanced at each other, a hint of awkwardness flickering in their eyes.

With their current strength, they could no longer threaten Ethan Smith, apart from the one in the purple robe, no one dared to provoke Ethan Smith.

“We… we will avenge the Heaven Swallowing Python,” the black and gold robed men promised gingerly.

A glint of cruelty flashed in Ms. Hayward’s eyes, she squinted and asked, “Are you truly willing to avenge the Heaven Swallowing Python?”

“Thou… thousand percent sure!” These eighteen people spoke in unison.

“Alright, then I will give you a chance to prove yourselves,” Ms. Hayward said, waving her hand. The vast Heaven Swallowing Python appeared behind her instantly!

The Python hissed, sticking out its crimson tongue, and a pungent smell greeted their noses.

Its glossy black body shimmered in the sunlight radiating strong energy.

But on closer observation, one could see a massive wound on its body.

This wound was inflicted by Vernon Sherman’s punch.

Seeing the Heaven Swallowing Python made the faces of the men in the black and gold robes pale in fear.

“Ms. Hayward, what…what do you need us to do?” asked one, hesitatingly.

Ms. Hayward grinned and said, “You don’t need to do anything, just stand there and don’t move…”

As she finished speaking, the Heaven Swallowing Python shot towards the crowd!

Its colossal head arrived in front of everyone almost in a blink of an eye!

One by one, the Heaven Swallowing Python swallowed the men in black and gold robes into its belly!

Seeing this scene, all the robed men were shocked and scared, preparing to run!

“Trying to leave?” Ms. Hayward sneered.

She reached out with her withered palm, and the movements of the many black and gold robed men were instantly restricted!

“Ms. Hayward, you…you’re actually going to kill us!”

“You vile old woman!”

Faced with those insults, Ms. Hayward didn’t care in the slightest.

She sneered, “A bunch of useless trash, your only worth is to be the Heaven Swallowing Python’s food.”

All eighteen men in black and gold robes were ingested by the Heaven Swallowing Python!

Simultaneously, the enormous body of the Heaven Swallowing Python began to wriggle, and strands of energy brewed continuously within it!

The next second, a blinding black light erupted from the body of the Heaven Swallowing Python!

“Boom!”

A loud explosion echoed over half of the Capital City Martial Arts Association!

The Heaven Swallowing Python’s body had become even tougher, and its energy increased several times!

“Finally, it has broken through,” Ms. Hayward had her hands clasped behind her back, a beaming smile on her face.

The Heaven Swallowing Python had officially reached the Peak Form of Military Marquis Realm!

This was a level where it was considered unparalleled in today’s world, as long as the Martial Saint did not interfere!

Moreover, the physical bodies of Demonic Beasts naturally possessed much more robustness compared to ordinary cultivators!

“Babe, come eat this.” Afterwards, the old woman took out a greenish Pill from her hand.

The Pill looked just like a Night-luminescent Pearl, glowing in the old woman’s hand.

The Heaven Swallowing Python slowly leaned its head over and swallowed the Pill.

“Hum!”

As soon as the Pill entered its belly, the Heaven Swallowing Python’s body started shaking violently!

Half a minute later, the Heaven Swallowing Python vanished, and in its place stood a young man with icy coldness radiating from his body!
