Chapter 676 - 676: 676: Jumping into the Fiery Pit!
He reached out and touched Ethan Smith’s forehead and asked, “Are you… crazy? Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
Ethan Smith, however, was staring at the fiery pit in earnest and said, “As long as this true fire can’t kill me, I can try.”
The man with the mustache muttered, “You really are a madman. This is true fire, if you’re not careful, you could turn into dust.”
Ethan Smith didn’t say much, but in his heart surged a strong desire.
If he really could refine his body to invincibility, even if his realm isn’t high, his strength would be quite powerful.
“Man with the mustache, you go first. After some time, come find me at Green Moon Villa.” Ethan Smith looked at the man with the mustache.
The man with the mustache said in disbelief, “You really want to jump into this fiery pit?”
“Yes.” Ethan Smith was resolute.
He clenched his fists and step by step, he approached the fiery pit.
“Look for me at Green Moon Villa in about a month.” Ethan Smith said seriously.
The man with the mustache kept muttering, “What a madman, how on earth did I end up knowing a madman like you!”
Just as Ethan Smith planned to jump into the fiery pit, several powerful auras suddenly approached them!
Upon feeling these auras, Ethan Smith’s face subtly changed.
“Someone’s coming.” Ethan Smith said in a deep voice.
The man with the mustache also nodded and said, “Their auras are not weak, at least at mid-term Military Marquis.”
Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and whispered, “These people actually made it this far… It seems they’re dead set on killing me.”
The man with the mustache muttered, “I’m not sticking around for this, I’ll see you at Green Moon Villa in a month.”
After dropping this sentence, the man with the mustache planned to run away.
However, at that moment, three people in purple robes had arrived!
A terrifying aura immediately enveloped the entire desert!
Three people coldly stared at Ethan Smith and said, “Ethan Smith, do you really think you can avoid death by running here?”
Ethan Smith sneered, “So it’s people from the Capital City Martial Arts Association… You guys sure are persistent.”
“Less talk, today you must die.” One of the people in the purple robe slowly raised his hand.
The man with the mustache standing next to them hurriedly muttered, “I have nothing to do with this, I… I’m just passing by.”
The man in the purple robe cast him a glance and sneered, “You’ll stay here too!”
Upon hearing these words, the man with the mustache bolted! His speed was astonishing!
Even Ethan Smith couldn’t help swallowing.
This speed… It might be even faster than Shrinking Ground Into An Inch!
The three people in purple robes looked in the direction the man with the mustache had fled and couldn’t help sneering, “He actually escaped.”
Another person in a purple robe stated, “Nevermind, he’s just a minor character. Our target is Ethan Smith.”
The three of them nodded in unison, and then slowly walked towards Ethan Smith.
Ethan Smith stood beside the fiery pit and asked coldly, “Are you guys really planning to kill me?”
“What do you think?” The man in the purple robe sneered.
“Thinking that with Ignacio Burke protecting you, Capital City Martial Arts Association can’t touch you?”
Upon hearing these words, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but burst into a hearty laugh, “I’ve never thought about having someone protect me! You want to kill me first? Fine, bring it on!”
A fierce yell, and the auras of the purple robe wearers immediately exploded!
One would have thought that Ethan Smith would fight, but unexpectedly, he turned around and jumped into the fiery pit.
“If you want to kill me, come down here!” Ethan Smith said coldly.
The three men in purple robes slightly furrowed their brows, and immediately rushed towards the fiery pit.
They looked down at the fiery pit and couldn’t help but frown, “Is this… true fire?”
“Has this kid gone mad jumping into the true fire?”
The three of them exchanged glances, seemingly uncertain about what to do next.
“In normal circumstances, anyone who jumps into the true fire will undoubtedly die, but this kid always seems to create miracles. We should be cautious,” one of them coldly stated.
They had counted Ethan Smith out multiple times, but each time he had managed to bounce back.
Therefore, this time, they absolutely wouldn’t let Ethan Smith off easily.
After exchanging glances, a man in a purple robe stepped up to the true fire.
He lifted his palm and reached towards the flames.
The moment his hand touched the raging pit of fire, the flames surged violently, swallowing his palm immediately!
The man in the purple robe’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly retracted his hand.
Despite this, his palm was scorched to a bloody pulp, exposing his white bones!
“As expected of the true fire…” The color drained from the man in the purple robe’s face.
The pain on his palm made him break out in a cold sweat.
“The true fire can’t be resisted with mere flesh and bones. Under normal circumstances, the kid will undoubtedly die for jumping into it,” another man in a purple robe stated coldly.
The three men looked at each other again, unsure of what to do next.
“I heard Davy Barnett say that this kid is crazy and capable of anything,” a man in a purple robe said.
“What if he has figured out a way to get past the true fire? He could potentially survive unscathed in the pit of fire,” another chimed in, nodding.
“Impossible, even if he were to obtain a secret technique, he could not maintain it for long.”
After weighing the possibilities, the three finally decided to wait it out in front of the pit of fire.
This time, they wanted to see either his body alive, or his death!
Below the pit of fire.
Ethan Smith’s body continually plummeted, and just the fall alone left his skin and flesh burnt to a crisp!
The flames seemed to have been incited by Ethan’s provocation, surging towards him violently and trying to cling onto his flesh incessantly!
The excruciating pain distorted Ethan Smith’s face!
His sweat evaporated in an instant due to the intense heat.
“Ah…”
Overwhelmed by pain, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but groan.
He looked down at his own body. His flesh was beginning to rot under the erosion of the flames!
But Ethan wasn’t worried. Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, he could regenerate flesh and blood.
What truly concerned Ethan Smith were his bones!
If his bones were burnt to ash, even if his golden core remained undamaged, he would still inevitably die!
Such pain was beyond imagination, but when it reached a certain degree, it could be life-threatening!
Yet, Ethan Smith’s resolve was firm, allowing him to keep his eyes wide open, staying conscious!
This only made the pain more vivid.
Ethan Smith’s flesh was deteriorating visibly under the relentless attack of the flames, with every bit of his flesh evaporating!
Before long, Ethan’s crystal white bones were exposed as his flesh was almost completely burnt away.
“It depends on whether these bones can hold up.” Ethan Smith gritted his teeth, insisting stubbornly.
If his bones were also burnt, then he would definitely die!
Soon, the flames engulfed Ethan’s white bones. The horrifying heat caused his bones to ache unbearably!
The fire covered every inch of Ethan’s bones, beginning to erode them.
“Crack!”
Soon enough, Ethan’s bones couldn’t stand the heat any longer and emitted a crisp cracking sound!
