Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Breakthrough to Martial Saint?_1

While they were talking, a faint dark blue aura suddenly drifted out from the depths of the Ice Palace.

This aura was almost about to merge with the heavy snowfall around them.

Seeing this scene, Victor and Violet Russell’s faces flashed with a hint of admiration.

“That’s the light of the Icy Glass Heart,” Victor said with some envy.

Violet Russell nodded and said, “Such a beautiful color…”

“Once the Palace Master succeeds in devouring the Icy Glass Heart, he will surely step into the Martial Saint Realm!”, Victor said excitedly.

“By that time, our Ice Palace would undoubtedly become the world’s number one sect!”

Violet Russell whispered, “Victor, does the Icy Glass Heart truly have such an effect?”

Victor calmly replied, “The Icy Glass Heart is born once every tens of thousands of years, the leader of all chilling things. Its power far exceeds our imagination.”

“The Palace Master once said that it was through the Icy Glass Heart that he successfully transitioned from a Grandmaster to a Half-step Martial Sage while creating an astonishing amount of powerful cultivators!”

“As long as the Icy Glass Heart can be successfully consumed, there would be no problem in advancing into Martial Saint!”

Violet Russell followed up, “The Palace Master will surely become the first person to enter the Martial Saint Realm!”

The next day.

Ethan Smith landed at a nearby airport.

He hid his breath and looked no different from an ordinary person.

Then, Ethan Smith took out his phone and called Violet Russell.

“Where are you?”, Ethan Smith asked.

“Turn around,” Violet Russell replied over the phone.

Ethan turned around and saw Violet Russell’s figure.

Violet Russell glanced around and said somewhat surprisingly, “Did you come here by yourself?”

“What else?”, Ethan Smith replied, raising an eyebrow.

Violet Russell felt delighted and quietly released her aura to scan Ethan Smith’s body for signs of power.

“No progress at all?”, Violet Russell smirked as she perceived Ethan Smith’s strength.

By the looks of his aura, Ethan Smith did not seem to have changed much since their last encounter. At most, he was in the Peak Form of Military Marquis Realm.

Would such a level of strength dare to go to the Ice Palace alone? Wasn’t that asking for death?

“Hey, Ethan Smith, you should remove the imprint in my divine sense once you bring me to the Ice Palace,” said Violet Russell.

Ethan Smith glanced at her and chuckled, “Alright, once I get to the Ice Palace, I’ll set you free.”

“Then let’s not waste any time. Let’s go now,” Violet Russell urged impatiently.

Ethan Smith glanced at her without saying a word and followed her into a car.

The car sped toward the north. As the car went deeper, the climate around them became increasingly severe.

Giant snowflakes almost blocked their vision, and the gusty wind felt like blades cutting through their flesh.

After traveling a few more kilometers, the car stopped.

“The car can’t go any further in,” said Violet Russell.

Ethan Smith quietly asked, “Do you guys in the Ice Palace really live in such a place?”

“What else?”, Violet Russell rolled her eyes with disdain.

Ethan Smith didn’t say much. He followed behind Violet Russell, walking on foot towards the Ice Palace.

With the heavy snow and strong wind, their pace was slow.

“I heard that there is a treasure in your Ice Palace called ‘Icy Glass Heart’. I wonder if it’s true,” Ethan Smith suddenly asked.

Violet Russell’s body trembled slightly; she raised her eyebrows and said, “So, you’ve come for the Icy Glass Heart?”

Ethan Smith didn’t deliberately conceal anything and nodded, “Sort of.”

“With your cultivation level, you dare covet the Icy Glass Heart? Don’t you know that half-step Martial Sages who come here end up leaving their corpses?”, Violet Russell sneered.

Ignoring her sarcasm, Ethan Smith smiled and said, “It seems that it is true.”

Violet Russell saw this and scoffed, “You human beings are truly never satisfied. You’ll pay for your arrogance sooner or later.”

Ethan Smith did not say much. He continued to follow Violet Russell.

Soon, a huge palace appeared dimly in their sight through the snowstorm.

Ethan Smith stopped and narrowed his eyes, looking at the castle.

“Is that the Ice Palace?”, Ethan Smith asked quietly.

“Exactly,” Violet Russell nodded.

“I’ve already brought you here. According to our agreement, you must erase the imprint in my divine sense,” Violet Russell urged.

Ethan Smith glanced at her and said, “What’s the rush? Be patient. After I finish my business here, I will naturally set you free.”

“You can’t go back on your word!”, Violet Russell became anxious!

If Ethan Smith discovered her intentions, wouldn’t she be dead?

“Ethan Smith, be a man and erase the imprint in my divine sense!”, Violet Russell anxiously grabbed Ethan Smith’s arm.

Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed, he grabbed Violet Russell’s arm and coldly said, “Don’t bother me, or else I’ll kill you!”

Feeling the murderous spirit emanating from Ethan Smith, Violet Russell’s face changed slightly.

Although she was resentful, she dared not say more.

Ethan Smith let go of Violet Russell. He released his divine sense, enveloping the area around them.

Soon, Ethan Smith discovered several powerful auras.

And the strongest among them was in the depths of the Ice Palace.

“An existence surpassing the half-step Martial Sage…”, Ethan Smith muttered in a low voice.

This aura was odd; it seemed to be between the half-step Martial Sage and Martial Saint!

“Could it be that someone is about to become a Martial Saint?”, Ethan Smith suddenly had a bad premonition.

That aura indeed surpassed the half-step Martial Sage!

Just as Ethan Smith was pondering, four shadows appeared in the midst of the blizzard.

“Hehe, coming to the Ice Palace all by yourself…Should I praise your confidence, or call you a fool?”, a voice sounded from the front.

Ethan Smith narrowed his eyes and said softly, “Four half-step Martial Sages?”

“It has nothing to do with me! I’ve told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen. Don’t blame me!”, Violet Russell waved her hands hastily.

Ethan Smith did not pay attention to her, and coldly looked at these four half-step Martial Sages.

“We were just about to look for you, but who would have thought you’d come to us!”, Victor stepped forward and sneered.

“Tsk tsk, a mere Peak Form of Military Marquis dares to come to our Ice Palace seeking their doom?”

“Kid, hand over that mask, and we might consider leaving your body intact.”

Ethan Smith glanced at them and said, “The same goes for you. Hand over the Icy Glass Heart, and I’ll consider letting you go.”

“Seeking death!”, Victor immediately became furious. Without any unnecessary words, he instantly appeared in front of Ethan Smith, aiming his fist at Ethan’s forehead!

Ethan Smith calmly raised his hand to meet the attack.

But at that moment, Ethan Smith’s vision suddenly darkened, and his strength dissipated in an instant!

“Bang!”

Ethan Smith was sent flying, and blood spurted out from his mouth!

“Hahaha!”, Victor laughed loudly upon seeing this.

“With such pitiful ability, you dare to trifle with our Ice Palace?”

Ethan Smith wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, cursing, “Damn it, the effects of the pill are happening now of all times…”
