Chapter 2582: Chapter 2580: First Encounter with an Acquaintance

A meatball was rolling around in the clearing, its two long eyebrows holding up two eyes that curiously scanned the surroundings.

"Is this how the village’s beast spirit came about?"

Suddenly, Ethan Smith felt a chill run down his spine.

If everything followed the normal order, these spiritual fires should have condensed into the forms of the Demonic Beasts he had slain.

Although the village elder seemed unreliable, just this strange dance alone had awakened the consciousness of these newly born spiritual fires. This guy’s strength was indeed unfathomable.

The Taoists emphasized teaching without discrimination, and to directly enlighten a mass of instinctive consciousness was something no one in the original Human World could do so easily.

Hmm?

After contemplating for a long time, Ethan Smith realized his body felt lighter.

With a slight move of his mind, energy quickly drilled into his fingertips.

Indeed! That lecture just now, he had benefited from it even while standing on the side.

Moreover, this enhancement seemed substantial, equivalent to consuming soul holy power of the Nether Heart.

Ethan Smith slapped his thigh; if he had been just a bit closer to the village elder, maybe his Divine Soul Power would have strengthened even more!

"Village elder! Village elder! Your dance just now was really beautiful, can you dance it again for me?"

If just watching a dance could enhance power, wouldn’t he be invincible, just by watching the elder dance here?

Village elder, it’s me! Why are you ignoring me?

Ethan Smith shouted a few more times into the elder’s ear, but the elder seemed to ignore him completely.

He treated Ethan Smith as if he were air; no matter what Ethan said, the elder didn’t respond at all.

If Ethan blocked his path, the elder put a green hat on Ethan’s head.

Seeing the elder walk back and forth, returning home.

Ethan simply stood at the entrance, and the elder twisted his neck to bypass Ethan Smith and entered the room.

"Strange, why does this Taoist suddenly seem like a different person?"

At this moment, Ethan Smith was also baffled; earlier, the elder was quite the chatterbox.

But now, even if Ethan Smith asked simple questions, he was utterly ignored.

"There’s a bloody smell!"

Ethan Smith’s body instantly became alert, and he rushed back to the clearing.

At this moment, the newly born beast spirits, three of them, were already lying in pools of blood.

Moreover, there was a faint bloody smell emanating from various parts of the village.

What speed! Such a short time and so many villagers were already killed.

Decisive and ruthless, this person won’t be easily dealt with.

Ethan Smith slightly furrowed his brows, knowing the power gathered from killing so many villagers would be significant.

His Retribution Seal hadn’t recovered yet; any more mistakes and it would be over.

Suddenly, Ethan Smith’s face showed a shocked expression.

Thirty meters away, twenty leopards with thick legs appeared.

Thunder-leopards!

Ethan Smith was horrified; he had seen these beast-shaped leopard beasts in the Human World before, called Thunder-leopards, known for their incredible speed.

If it were just one, he might not be afraid, but with twenty appearing together, it threatened him greatly.

Although the beast spirits lacked clear consciousness, they possessed the hunting instincts of Fierce Beasts.

As soon as they saw Ethan Smith, they charged at him ferociously.

All the energy in Ethan Smith’s legs was pushed to the limit, and he ran backward madly.

In just a couple of breaths, he could hear the heavy panting coming from the mouths of these Thunder-leopards.

Tear!

Ethan Smith slightly tilted his head, and a turning lance pierced through a Thunder-leopard’s head.

The sound of tearing was harsh and grating, as the spearhead ripped through the muscle and tissue.

The immense force sent the bone spur of the Nether Heart flying out of his hand, and Ethan Smith decisively abandoned the gun, taking out a dagger instead.

As he had suspected, these leopards were incredibly fast, but their bodies weren’t sturdy.

Using the long bone spur proved restrictive against the remaining nineteen leopards.

Ethan Smith almost relentlessly held the dagger horizontally.

The head of the charging Thunder-leopard was sliced in half, and Ethan Smith kicked it flying away.

Then he pinned the dagger into another leopard’s chest, slicing half its body open.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, just a brief moment of delay.

He was surrounded by the remaining seventeen leopards, all attacking simultaneously.

Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil!

Seeing that he was fully surrounded, Ethan Smith activated the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil.

Using all his strength, he slit the throats of three leopards in front of him, taking advantage of the gap to sprint out.

Tear!

His back and thigh suddenly bore several wounds.

A huge chunk of flesh was torn from his thigh, and the Thunder-leopards, smelling the flesh, pursued him even more fiercely.

Phew!

Ethan Smith’s body slammed against a small hill, the massive impact causing blood to flow from his forehead.

In just a few seconds, more flesh was ripped from his back again.

This was a position he had observed earlier when entering the village; backing against it could reduce the Thunder-leopards’ attack angles by half, greatly lessening his burden.

Close!

The Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil on his forehead snapped shut, facing half the leopards.

Ethan Smith’s pressure was instantly alleviated, and nearly twenty minutes later, Ethan Smith stabbed the last Thunder-leopard’s head with the dagger.

A layer of foul-smelling blood spread on the ground, indistinguishable if it was Ethan Smith’s blood or leopard blood.

His body was covered with wounds, the slaughter of these twenty leopards had left him seriously injured.

He felt his arm, holding the dagger, was trembling uncontrollably.

"Terrifying, to have grown so strong in less than three days."

A figure emerged in the distant forest, clapping his hands as he slowly walked out.

"Asher Evans, didn’t expect you as the Supreme Elder of the Evans Family to arrive in this Holy Kingdom. If I remember correctly, in the last battle, you seemed to have mingled with the Demon clan, killing quite a number of Human Guarding Alliance people."

Ethan Smith slowly walked towards him, leaving a trail of footprints.

In the last battle, many from the Human Guarding Alliance inexplicably lost their strength, and only after seeing the Evans Family did he realize they had already joined the Demon clan.

They had long targeted many Human Guarding Alliance cultivators training in Purgatory, with Asher Evans and the Evans Family secretly implanting parasites.

These parasites, called Glass Phantom Butterflies, didn’t manifest immediately, but instead released a special toxin within Human Guarding Alliance cultivators, infiltrating and eroding their power and energy sources secretly.

During the critical moments of the battle, Asher Evans detonated the Glass Phantom Butterflies, causing heavy casualties, including the peak master.

"Indeed, the enmity of you destroying my Evans Family is immortal; fortunately Viggo gave me the chance to come to the Holy Kingdom to slay you."

Asher Evans let out a maniacal laugh.
