Chapter 671: Domineering Ignacio Burke!
The aura emanating from Ethan Smith sent shivers of fear coursing through Davy Barnett!
The sight of the railing flattened stunned everyone, causing them to gasp in shock!
Everyone present watched the scene in a dumbstruck silence, afraid to utter a word.
No one could believe that Ethan Smith’s punch had bent the railing!
“Enough… enough.” Davy Barnett wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gesturing for the torture of Emily Taylor to stop.
The two men immediately halted their technique. The light from the tubes attached to Emily Taylor began fading away.
Ethan Smith’s icy eyes remained fixed on Davy Barnett, sending chills down his spine.
Such terrifying gaze! Even Davy Barnett couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat!
“No, this man must die soon!” Davy Barnett screamed in his heart, filled with a sense of dread!
In just an instant, he felt as if he were facing his own death!
Without uttering a word he turned on his heel, taking his entourage and vacating the premises.
The cold aura surrounding Ethan Smith gradually dispersed, but the chilling expression remained on his face, preventing people from saying more.
After an unknown period had passed, someone finally broke the silence, “Your punch…was terrifying. This railing has never been bent before.”
Ethan gave the person a glance, but didn’t utter a word.
The fury he felt just now had almost made Ethan lose his self-control.
This anger, however, provided him with an unknown force.
This feeling wasn’t the first time he had experienced it.
He had experienced a similar outburst when confronting Cato Cain.
“Emily, how are you holding up?” Ethan turned his gaze towards Emily Taylor.
Emily Taylor shook her head, putting on a brave face, “I’m fine..”
Their conversation sounded like the final words of someone on their deathbed, filled with a profound sadness.
The surrounding people tried to console Ethan.
“In your next life, you’ll still be a brave man!” Everyone chimed in.
Ethan thanked everyone individually then patiently waited for the verdict of the Capital City Martial Arts Association.
Davy Barnett entered with two purple-robed figures.
“Ethan Smith, it’s time to say goodbye to this world,” said Davy Barnett, his voice cold.
Ethan rose to his feet and stared coldly at Davy Barnett, “Davy Barnett, I promise you, for every bit of pain Emily has endured, you will suffer a hundred, a thousand times more.”
Davy Barnett wanted to sneer but for some reason, his words stuck in his throat.
In the end, Davy just humphed coldly and waved his hand, “Take him away.”
The prison door creaked open, and the two purple figures grabbed Ethan Smith by the shoulders and started leading him out of the prison.
Watching Ethan’s retreating figure, Emily Taylor’s tears continued to fall.
She was sobbing softly, biting her lip to keep herself from making any noise.
Ethan Smith was taken away.
Finally, Emily Taylor could bear it no longer and began to sob uncontrollably.
Her intense weeping moved everyone, causing several of them to tear up.
In the Capital City Martial Arts Association’s execution ground behind the main building, Ethan Smith was brought by two black and gold robe figures.
They used a secret technique to bind Ethan and at the same time, two Martial Saint Weapons lit up around him.
The two Martial Saint Weapons aimed directly at Ethan’s forehead, and once released, they would pierce Ethan’s divine sense!
Emerson Holmes stared at Ethan with intense anxiety building up inside him.
“What’s his plan…in the end!” Emerson Holmes hollered in his heart!
The time for the execution had arrived, yet Ethan Smith showed no sign of escaping!
Could it be he’s really going to die here today!
“Ethan Smith, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death,” said Davy Barnett coldly.
“Do you have any last words?”
Ethan slowly closed his eyes, seeming resigned to his fate.
“Davy Barnett, if I were to not die today, do you think you’d be able to sleep peacefully?”
At this moment, Ethan suddenly smiled, revealing his white teeth.
Davy Barnett’s heart skipped a beat at Ethan’s words. He sneered, “Even if the gods were here, they can’t save you!”
Davy Barnett felt a rush of unease. He was eager to see Ethan dead.
Thus, Davy ordered, “Enough delay, proceed!”
“Yes.” The two purple-robed figures nodded, activating the two Martial Saint Weapons!
The Martial Saint Weapons blinked with an ancient aura, aimed right at Ethan’s forehead!
Light as dazzling as the sun gathered, and the booming noises grew louder and louder.
Ethan clenched his jaw, staring intently at the two Martial Saint Weapons.
He, too, felt a bit nervous.
“Damn it…. Risking his own life to gamble, huh!” Emerson Holmes cursed in his heart.
At this moment, he had already lost hope.
He closed his eyes and thought, “Ethan, consider this a favor to me. Until we meet again in the next life.”
The Martial Saint Weapons started to glow, its aura heading straight for Ethan’s forehead!
Just as the tension reached its climax, a domineering yell sounded from outside!
Turning their heads, they saw a tall and stately man with a formidable aura stepping inside.
He was dressed in a green military uniform, pair of black boots at his feet, and his eyes held an air of dominance!
“Bur…Burke?” Seeing the man, Davy Barnett’s eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
He walked over to him and said, “Commander Burke, what brings you here?”
Burke shook off his overcoat, which was caught mid-air by his entourage.
Approaching Ethan, Burke pointed at him and said, “I am taking this man.”
Davy Barnett narrowed his eyes and asked, “Commander Burke, what do you mean by this?”
“What, can’t you understand what I said?” Burke replied with a stern face.
Davy Barnett huffed, “Commander Burke, you may have a special status, but you can’t just take people away as you please, can you?”
“Ethan Smith is charged with immense crimes and must be punished!”
Burke said coldly, “Ethan Smith is a member of the battle zone, if there’s any decision to be made, it should be done by us, the battle zone. The Capital City Martial Arts Association has no jurisdiction here.”
Hearing this, Davy Barnett burst out laughing, “Commander Burke, I anticipated you’d say something but unfortunately we have already obtained authorization.”
Burke flicked his glance at him, “What authorization? Show it to me.”
Davy Barnett promptly asked a member of his team to fetch the authorization from his office.
Within minutes, Davy received the authorization in his hands.
He passed it on to Burke, “Please have a look, Commander Burke.”
Taking the authorization from Davy, Burke without even glancing at it, tore it up in front of everyone!
“Well, now you don’t have the authorization.” Burke said expressionless.
