The King Kong suddenly crouched down and, after ensuring that the coast was clear, carefully uncovered a pile of rotting leaves. It dug out a large, milky-white egg about the size of a human head.

"By heavens, it really is a thief!" Maxwell whispered as he and Ethan hid behind a mound of dirt, their eyes glued to the scene.

The King Kong cradled the egg in its hands and took a deep sniff, even licking it with its purple-red tongue as if savoring a fine wine.

"That King Kong is such a creep!" Maxwell grumbled. "Should we steal the egg?"

"No nonsense! I bet it's not easy for King Kong to eat that egg," Ethan whispered back, watching intently.

The King Kong seemed to ponder for a moment before digging out two more identical eggs from the pile. Satisfied, it grabbed one in each hand and clamped the third between its arms, preparing to leave.

"This thing's going to eat all of them! That King Kong is so dishonest!" Maxwell's eyes were red with anger.

Ethan raised an eyebrow, considering whe

    The violent wind wailed, and the bushes and branches where Ethan and Maxwell were hiding snapped all at once. Ethan looked up to see a colossal Shadow Varanus tail, akin to a mountain.Gulping nervously, Ethan's face changed color. How much force did this enraged Shadow Varanus have in a single swipe? At least tens of thousands of pounds, enough to break trees and shake mountains. If struck by this, there would be no doubt they would be crushed to pieces."Maxwell! Get down!" Ethan urgently pulled Maxwell down, both of them lying flat without dignity. They had barely touched the ground when they heard the roaring wind and snapping branches behind them. By the time they stood up again, the bushes and trees in front of them had been completely broken, as if a giant pair of scissors had sliced through them, leaving a mirror-like smooth surface at Ethan's waist level."Let's go!" Ethan's hair stood on end, as the Shadow Varanus's strength had completely taken him by surprise. He had thoug

    "Whoosh!"Ethan evaded, refusing to engage in a head-on collision with Shadow Varanus!Despite its terrifying attacks, Shadow Varanus was severely injured at this point, and they were in the mountains where trees and bushes provided cover for Ethan's evasive maneuvers. However, the creature's flaws were evident; its attacks were limited to biting and whipping its tail. Had it managed to land one of these blows, the battle could have ended, but would Ethan allow that to happen?Employing his full speed, Ethan was able to outpace Shadow Varanus, thanks to techniques like the "Swift Shadow Blade Technique," which improved agility and speed. How could Draw Blade Technique suffice if only the attack speed was fast but the agility slow?"Swoosh!"A flash of blade light!Shadow Varanus' neck was struck again, this time with a more brutal slash. Its once-impenetrable outer shell was shattered, revealing soft muscles beneath. Ethan's blade cut in nearly two inches deep, splattering his face wi

    With a swoosh, countless young men rushed forward, blocking Ethan's path. "Whoosh!" A flash of a blade appeared, slicing the throat of a youth standing in front of Ethan. Blood spurted several feet into the air, and with a gurgle, the severed head rolled down the hillside before coming to a halt. Even after falling, the eyes remained wide open in shock. Ethan didn't even spare a glance at the fallen youth. After one swift cut, he snatched the wooden token from the youth's body and tucked it into his bosom. "Maxwell! Don't linger in battle! Grab the Shadow Varanus eggs and run!" Ethan called out to Maxwell in a low voice, narrowly dodging a mallet strike from behind. "Understood!" Maxwell responded concisely, charging towards the location of the Shadow Varanus eggs near Anthony. Simultaneously, his Heaven-Shaking Hammer danced furiously, felling several opponents with every swing. Gasps and screams filled the air as Maxwell charged, resembling a tiger among sheep. The majority of

    "Swish! Swish!""Die!"Without a glance, Ethan's three swift slashes claimed the lives of the three individuals before him. Each stroke was quick, ruthless, and precise; a single slash to the throat. As the young men fell, their eyes wide with disbelief and unwillingness, they couldn't comprehend why Ethan was so relentless."Death to those who stand in my way!" Ethan declared indifferently, slashing twice more. Two more young men fell, clutching their throats.Ethan's hatred for these people was immeasurable. It was one thing to rob travelers along the Ruoshui River, but now they had tried to steal the hard-earned Shadow Varanus eggs he and Maxwell had acquired. Worse still, Maxwell had lost his life because of them!"Ah! Run, everyone! Ethan's gone mad!" Countless youths scattered in panic, with frantic cries ringing in the chaos."Right! Ethan's way too fast! He's been hiding his true strength all along!""Swish!"The flash of a blade appeared again."Northwestern King... save... s

    "Ah~~"Anthony's eyes flickered with a sinister red glow, narrowly avoiding the Moon-Slashing Sabers of two Ethans. Then, to Ethan's astonishment, he continued his frenzied flight!"What's with Anthony…" Ethan frowned, momentarily dumbstruck.Anthony's hair was disheveled, his clothes tattered. Closer inspection revealed his body seemingly enveloped in a faint red light, transforming into a red streak before vanishing from Ethan's view!"This speed…" Ethan was somewhat shocked. The transformed Anthony was even faster than himself after employing The Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, making it impossible to catch up.However, Ethan also noticed that as Anthony fled, his energy was rapidly diminishing. Clearly, using such sinister techniques took a significant toll on him, requiring a heavy price and not sustainable. Otherwise, Anthony wouldn't have abandoned Ethan to flee madly.But was it over just because Anthony had escaped?"Today, all of you present shall be buried with Maxwell! Not o

    "Swish!"Ethan grabbed a Shadow Varanus egg with his hand, clenching it tightly in his grip. He threw a casual punch at the egg with his right hand."Boom!""Huh, how can this eggshell be so tough?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, puzzled at the unscathed egg in his hand.He was shocked. His current power, even with a casual punch, carried a colossal force of over a thousand pounds. If he had encountered the young big cat in Stone Town's Storm Clan Village half a year ago, a single punch would have seriously injured it. Yet, such strength could not even break the shell of this egg?After pondering for a while, Ethan placed a Shadow Varanus egg on the ground and unsheathed his Moon-Slashing sword."Whoosh!"With a fierce slash, the eggshell cracked slightly, revealing a barely visible hairline fracture. Ethan frowned, then swiftly swung his sword twice more."Whoosh!""Whoosh!""Crack!"Finally, a finger-length crack appeared on the surface of the Shadow Varanus egg. Elated, Ethan held the eg

    "Finally, I've reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer of the Strong Blood Realm." With a sigh, Ethan strode towards the haphazardly strewn corpses.These bodies surely held treasures, and Ethan hadn't forgotten the words of the elder in red: one needed at least five hundred tokens to gain entry to Twilight Mountain."Whoosh""Whoosh"Ethan's movements were swift, his black figure flickering among the corpses. At each stop, he'd snatch several tokens into the bundle slung across his back.According to ancient texts, there existed a ring called the Interspatial Ring. Though a mere ring, it could store countless items within its boundless interior. However, forging such a ring was extremely difficult, and Ethan could neither afford nor had ever seen one.Moments later, Ethan's bundle was filled to the brim. He'd silently counted a total of 1,517 tokens.These tokens were coveted by everyone in this space. Outside, silver was the most valuable currency, but here, it held no sway.Ethan g

    Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Everywhere people were talking about Ethan, the notorious Blade Demon, a murderous madman. Nearly every young man who stepped off the stage had heard of the Blade Demon's infamy, especially those who had joined Anthony in the ambush against Ethan and Maxwell. They were all on edge, fearing that Ethan would come for them at any moment.Ethan, however, paid no heed to the gossip around him. He continued his aimless search for those who had participated in the ambush against him and Maxwell. Having sworn to kill them all, he was determined to keep his promise, both for the sake of his oat

    Juan Baker flipped his right hand and a pitch-black spear appeared.Ethan's gaze had been fixed on Juan Baker and his son the entire time. The instant Juan moved, Ethan realized his intent."You despicable old codger! Don't you dare!" Ethan was so shocked he nearly jumped out of his skin. If Juan Baker had targeted Ethan himself, he wouldn't have batted an eyelid no matter how powerful his opponent was. After all, Ethan's mental resilience was beyond ordinary and with the ancient Azure Dragon's restorative abilities, conventional attacks posed no threat.But for Juan Baker to make a move against Lily was going too far! And it just so happened to be Ethan's Achilles heel!Juan Baker gave a cold smile. Without hesitation, he whipped his right hand down to hurl the spear!At the same time, Ethan sped towards Lily as swiftly as he could.Originally two hundred yards separated Ethan and Lily, but in this life-or-death moment, he seemed even faster than usual.

    "Ethan, do you really think you can bully the Baker family so easily?" Juan Baker's face was ashen, utterly humiliated in front of all the major families of Mistwood County. Having his future son-in-law killed and his guest official beheaded right in front of everyone, how could the Baker family continue to hold their standing in Mistwood County if they did not regain some face?Ethan's expression was impassive as his gaze swept over the core members of the Baker family present in the grand hall. Of them all, only four gave him slight pause.Including Juan Baker and his third son Ralph Baker, there were just five Bone Sacrifice practitioners. And now, only four remained after Ethan's handiwork. Such a force was inferior even compared to the Martin family of Hampshire County. Ethan had no patience for idle chatter. He immediately unleashed the Eight Mystical Metamorphoses, his original form and his clone charging at Juan Baker in unison.Speed was paramount. Ethan was currently only a

    In the hall, all the "dignitaries" like Anna Patterson and Allan Long watched Ethan and Maxwell with odd expressions, clearly sensing their malicious intent. Yet no one had expected someone to actually crash the Baker family's joyous occasion.For rivals like Anna Patterson, nothing would be better than ruining the Baker family's big day, or even causing their total downfall. So for the moment, all was silent as they waited to see what would unfold.An eerie quiet. Joseph closed his eyes regretfully. He knew of the feelings between his daughter and Ethan, and rather approved of the boy. But his arrival was just too late, and the timing was wrong...After over seven years, Ethan's appearance had changed somewhat, but Charles still recognized him and kept signaling urgently for Ethan to leave quickly.Ethan ignored him completely, back ramrod straight, eyes empty of emotion as he scanned the Baker crowd.Beside him, Maxwell loomed tall and bulky, standing out in the crowd like a crane

    "You...you..." Joseph was nearing eighty. Such provocation was too much for him and his face flushed crimson as he gasped for breath."Father!" Charles hurriedly supported Joseph, gently patting his back to help him calm down. "Grandfather!" Lily's hair was disheveled, tears instantly filling her eyes....The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was an auspicious date, at least for the millions of ordinary folk in Mistwood County.Everyone knew this was the joyous wedding day of the Baker family's third young master. Though he already had two wives and concubines, how eminent was the Baker family? The undisputed overlord of Mistwood County, even lording over nearby counties--their might was undisputed.The Baker family was worthy of being called the overlords of Mistwood County.

    "Two celestial beings..." Lily's lovely face paled and she instinctively drew closer to the ice sculpture.The loud commotion also woke the just-risen Charles, Joseph and the rest. Soon--The main hall doors opened and the Joseph family streamed out, from Charles and Joseph down to the servants, staring curiously at the Baker entourage and the glittering array of treasures before them.Many had never seen such wealth in their lives! Just the gold ingots alone filled three huge chests. That was not even counting the obviously expensive jewelry and other gifts.Filling chests with gold ingots--how rich did one have to be?Likely enough...to buy half the streets in Stone Town!Joseph's brows twitched slightly. "Young Master Baker, what is the meaning of this?"It was normal to offer betrothal gifts, but gifts of such extravagance were no ordinary matter. Despite his advanced years, Joseph's eyesight remained sharp. He knew well the sheer quantity of gold, silver and jewels laid out befor

    Lily gazed at the ice sculpture, lost in thought, barely registering her father's words.Charles stepped forward and sat down cross-legged beside his daughter. "Speaking of that Ethan boy, he really is pitiable. Losing his parents early, and his only grandfather murdered too. Seven years ago he finally avenged his grandfather by killing Caleb, but then got taken away by some mysterious youth. No word since--such a shame."He sighed regretfully. The image of that teenager chopping wood behind their hill seven or eight years ago was still vivid in his mind. Charles had liked Ethan quite a bit. At the time, many talented local youths had been vying for Lily's affection, yet he had favored Ethan, even hoping to match him with his daughter. But unexpectedly..."Father, enough." Lily turned her head slightly, revealing a face that could bring kingdoms to ruin. But looking closely, her beautiful eyes held a deep weariness.Seven years--how many such spans are granted in a mortal lifetime? Se

    An hour later. The rain grew heavier, coming down in sheets. The dark sky heralded an early nightfall in this gloomy downpour. The Inn of No Worries had long since closed, and the main street was now sparsely populated, with only a few swaying lanterns barely clinging to their poles in the wind and rain.Under the torrential rain's dilution, the traces of the Fountain of Time's poison had completely faded away. As Ethan strode through the ankle-deep water on the street, it splashed out around his steps.A hundred or so yards across from the Inn of No Worries, a bulky figure stood under the eaves of a dilapidated house, hands hanging loosely at his sides. Drenched by the raging storm, he seemed unfazed, standing motionless as the rainwater streamed down his face through gaps in the broken roof tiles."Maxwell? Your hands...they're healed?" From afar, Ethan immediately recognized Maxwell and grinned, hurriedly splashing through the standing water toward him.Maxwell's lips trembled and

    The assassin in purple robes stepped forward to flip over Ethan's "corpse", intending to seize Ethan's Azure Myst.But at that moment--Suddenly! Ethan's eyes shot open as the Azure Dragon shard materialized in his hand, stabbing into the assassin's left and right thighs in rapid succession!"Pfft!""Pfft!"Blood gushed wildly as holes appeared in both of the assassin's legs. His expression changed dramatically as he was jolted awake. Ethan pounced forward, gripping the assassin's thighs tightly, stabbing the Azure Dragon shard again and again into his legs! Ethan knew clearly that a Beyond Heaven core assassin of this caliber likely had some kind of spiritual armor for protection. A direct stab to the heart might not take him down in one blow. In an instant, the assassin's legs were pierced four or five times. The extreme sharpness of the Azure Dragon shard rendered his legs basically useless. The assassin's face was sinisterly dark. He did indeed have spiritual armor--a mid-gra

    "I must make him come down," Ethan's icy gaze swept over the water pooling on the ground. The rainwater mixed with a drop of Fountain of Time. Although constantly being washed and diluted by the rain, it had not yet fully dispersed and was still extremely toxic!Because of the Fountain of Time, Ethan's movable space was very limited right now. While the purple-robe could float freely in the void, under such circumstances this battle was unwinnable!Ethan flung an initial stage spear towards the purple-robe in the void. He still had tens of thousands of such spears in reserve in his Azure Myst. For offensive means, as a peak Meridian Training expert Ethan could only do this much against Bone Sacrifice Realm and above enemies.Weakened over thousands of yards of space, the spear's power had greatly diminished. The purple-robe casually waved his hand, deflecting the spear aside. It could not harm him whatsoever.Ethan flipped his hand, taking out a night pot emanating a faint azure glow
