chapter 21 Kill with one sword

"Third round, Ethan, Stella, Isaac and Luke." Third Elder Ryan Sigeweard announced the list of the third round with a proud smile on his face. "I surrender." "I also admit defeat." Isaac Sigeweard and Luke Sigeweard suddenly spoke and immediately withdrew from the competition. As a result, only Ethan Sigeweard and Stella Sigeweard were left in the competition. On the rostrum, Christopher narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the Third Elder Ryan, with a cold killing light flashing in his eyes. "As a disciple of the Sigeweard family, you should see the situation clearly. There is no shame in surrendering voluntarily. I am proud of you. Unlike some people, who are willing to fly into the flames knowing that they will die." The Third Elder laughed. Many people in the Sigeweard family laughed. People dare not speak out when they are angry. The path of cultivation was based on a courageous heart. When did you need to admit defeat? If you didn't even have the courage to fight, what's the use of cultivation. However, the reason why Third Elder Ryan spoke so highly of defeat without a fight was because Isaac and Luke were descendants of his lineage. Moreover, Ethan also heard the meaning of Ryan's words. Ryan was saying that he was a moth and had no self-awareness. "Whoever wins the final battle of this annual meeting will be the champion of this family annual meeting. The Family Master has said that whoever wins the championship will get a Fifth-ranked Soul Crystal." The Third Elder said with a smile. "Fifth-ranked Soul Crystal?" The crowd's pupils shrank. The Fifth-ranked Soul Crystal could only be obtained by killing the fifth-ranked soul beast, and the strength of the fifth-ranked soul beast was equivalent to the level of a human Battle Ancestor. Did the family really have it? Fifth-ranked Soul Crystal? "Moreover, this is the first reward. In addition, the head of the Family Master is in poor health and is ready to give up his position as Family Master. Whoever wins the annual meeting will be the new Master of Sigeweard." The Third Elder suddenly added. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the words of the Third Elder Ryan immediately made everyone in the Sigeweard family excited, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on Christopher. Christopher's face darkened. Before he could speak, the Second Elder Owen suddenly stood up and shouted, "Ryan, who gave you the courage? When will it be your turn to make the decision on the matter of the Family Master?" "Second Elder, this is decided by our Presbyterian Council. Although the Family Master represents the family, the Council of Elders can also impeach the Family Master. The Family Master is in poor health and is no longer suitable for the position of Family Master." Ryan's face was very calm. "Yes, because of Connor's death, the Family Master is getting thinner and weaker. He should take a good rest and should not continue to work hard." Another elder stood up on the rostrum and said. "I have the same idea." "I agree!" More and more people spoke, but a few elders remained silent and lowered their heads in shame. "Is the conspiracy finally going to break out?" Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Stella not far away, with a sharp look in his eyes. Owen was shaking all over, pointing his fingers at each of the Sigeweard family elders, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word. However, Christopher's eyes were very calm, and finally he glanced at Stella and said lightly, "The Sigeweard family is kind to you, you But being ungrateful and repaying kindness with hatred?" "Repaying kindness with revenge? Haha, I, Stella, have always regarded myself as a member of the Sigeweard family, but what about you, have you ever regarded me as a member of the Sigeweard family? Any training resources you have are half taken from me, even if I am a Fifth-grade Battle Soul. You also pretended not to know, and even hid it from everyone in the family, saying that I am only a Fourth-grade Battle Soul Frostblade!" Stella finally showed her real face and looked at Christopher angrily. "Raising an unfamiliar dog and giving you training resources is the greatest favor to you. If it weren't for me, you would have frozen to death on the street!" Second Elder Owen roared, with a ferocious look on his face. "Yes, so I am grateful to you. I have not attacked you and will not kill you."Stella smiled coldly, looked at Christopher and said, "Have you noticed that the soul power has not been flowing smoothly recently? Even if Is it useless to practice in seclusion?" "Is it you?" Christopher's pupils shrank. Stella smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing. Ethan looked at Christopher. As Ethan expected, Christopher's eyes were lifeless, his forehead was dark, and his whole face was filled with a trace of black energy. This was an obvious sign of poisoning. "Sure enough, women have the most poisonous hearts." Ethan sighed softly, but what greeted him was the vicious look from the Little Witch. If looks could kill, Ethan would have died countless times. However, Ethan ignored it and slowly walked towards the fighting platform. This scene couldn't help but attract most people's attention. "What does this loser want to do? Does he still want to fight with the eldest lady?" "You are really born as a calf and you are not afraid of death. Even I, at the advanced stage of a Battle Master, am no match for the eldest lady. Just because he is an early stage Battle Master?" "The sword that knocked back Owen just now was just luck. And that blow must have consumed most of his soul power. If he goes up now, he will only die." The crowd looked at Ethan with disdain. Most of them had been bribed by Stella. Only a few people were still on Christopher's side, but they obviously did not think highly of Ethan. "Boy, do you still want to fight?" The Third Elder suddenly said in a solemn voice when he saw Ethan walking to the fighting stage. "Do I admit defeat?" Ethan's eyes were very calm and he said calmly, "As a member of the Sigeweard family, I feel ashamed of you!" "Hmph, boy, do you know who you are talking to?" The Third Elder frowned, and a strong murderous look flashed through his eyes. "It's just a dog, and a dog that bites its owner!" Ethan said without hesitation. Although Ethan didn't have much sense of belonging to the Sigeweard family, he felt heartfelt gratitude and love for Christopher. Without Christopher's protection, he would have died long ago. Now that Christopher had been poisoned and the Sigeweard family had rebelled, how could he not stand up. Although his cultivation level was very weak, only in the middle stage of the Battle Master, as long as he was under the War Master, he had the strength to fight. As for the Sigeweard family, he only knew two strong Battle Maestro, one was Christopher, and the other was the mysterious Great Elder. The Great Elder had always been guarding the Battle Skill Pavilion and rarely went out. However, Ethan knew that the Great Elder should have known about what was going on here. Since he had not arrived yet, he was not ready to take action. In this case, he had to stand up. "Seeking death!" The Third Elder roared angrily when he heard Ethan's words, jumped up high, stepped on the Phantom Steps, and headed towards Ethan. Ethan remained calm and stood there, watching the arrival of the Third Elder coldly. When he was only three meters away from him, Ethan moved. He also used the Phantom Steps, and the billowing soul power burst out, and a terrifying aura burst out. "Middle stage of Battle Master!" Second Elder Owen exclaimed, with a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. How could he have imagined that Ethan was so powerful that even the early stage of Battle Master was not his limit. "Mid-stage Battle Master? So what if I'm in the middle-stage Battle Master division? This elder is in the late-stage Battle Master!" The Third Elder sneered, and then roared, "Broken Wind Slash!" Behind him, a black light and shadow appeared, revealing a sharp light. It was obvious that his Battle Soul was a third-grade sword. "Whoops!" Ethan smiled coldly and used the same sword that killed Owen and Liam just now, but in terms of momentum, it was several times stronger. After all, he had only used the early strength of a combat master before. The sword light was very fast, with an almost perfect fusion of attack, power and speed. A strike of sword pierced the Third Elder's eyebrows and tore his Battle Soul into pieces. The Third Elder's body fell to the ground, blood and brains spurting out from between his eyebrows, his eyes filled with endless anger and unwillingness. For a moment, the entire audience was silent, staring at Ethan with an incredible look in their eyes! With a strike of sword, the Third Elder was destroyed! Ethan struck decisively and ruthlessly, killing the late-stage Battle Master with a strike in the mid-stage combat division. This kind of strength and character completely frightened everyone present!
