When Cedric and Old Man Gale saw the killing intent surge from Ethan's eyes, their expressions changed instantly.
A chill crawled up their spines. Their scalps went numb.
The endless darkness in Ethan's gaze was like a tiger locking onto prey.
Only then did Cedric understand.
All talk of trade had been a farce.
Ethan had been playing with them from the start.
"Run!"
He spat out a single word and turned to flee without hesitation.
"Split up!"
Old Man Gale responded at once and shot off in the opposite direction.
"Blood essence, burn!"
Cedric had witnessed Ethan's combat strength personally. He dared not underestimate him.
He ignited his blood essence directly, pushing his speed to the absolute limit. Flames erupted around him as he transformed into a streak of fire cutting across the sky.
When Old Man Gale saw Cedric go all out, he did not hesitate either.
He burned his blood essence and turned into a streak of white light flying into the distance.
