Chapter213Gino Appeared Out of Nowhere
Ethan didn't expect there to be such a significant gap between himself and Ignatius!
It was clear that his previous belief that he should fear nothing below the master level was somewhat naive!
"You brat, to have such strength at such a young age, you truly are a genius! But my favorite thing is to crush geniuses!" Ignatius sneered, but his heart was heavy.
That punch just now was his full strength, intending to kill Ethan in one blow, but it only injured him! He pondered, 'If Ethan were given more time to grow, he would undoubtedly become a major threat to the Ashford family. I could not allow that to happen!'
"You want to kill me? I'm afraid you don't have what it takes!" Ethan snorted coldly again, calculating how to gain an advantage over Ignatius.
Ignatius's punch had already caused internal injuries, and although he was quickly healing, his strength was clearly compromised.
Facing Ignatius head-on again would be suicidal. The only way to win was to catch him off guard!
"Then die!" Ignatius, enraged by Ethan's provocation despite his weakened state, lunged at him again.
"Ignition Palm!" Ignatius shouted angrily, and his palm, like a scorching sun, suddenly emitted a terrifying heat, striking Ethan's chest.
"The weapon is useless now! It looks like I have to try that move!" Ethan gritted his teeth, having made up his mind.
He was waiting, waiting for Ignatius to get as close as possible before delivering a heavy blow.
The first layer of the ZF knack technique was just the basics and didn't have many sharp attack moves, making it ineffective against a powerful opponent like Ignatius.
Fortunately, the medical section's Nine Divine Needles could not only treat patients but also have unexpected effects in combat.
In some ways, the Nine Divine Needles were like an upgraded version of the weapon. Still, instead of just hitting the general area of the opponent, the silver needles had to be accurately inserted into the opponent to unleash their full effect.
Given Ethan's current strength, especially in his injured state, accurately hitting Ignatius with the silver needles was nearly impossible.
Ethan's only chance was to release the silver needles at the fastest speed when Ignatius was right in front of him.
Even so, the best outcome would be mutual destruction!
In the blink of an eye, Ignatius was already within reach, and Ethan neither dodged nor evaded, seemingly unable to defend himself!
"Can't even dodge? Perish in obscurity!" Ignatius sneered even more, speeding up his right hand that was striking towards Ethan's chest, clearly using all his strength to kill Ethan in one blow this time!
"Ethan!" Watching from a distance, Sarah's beautiful eyes showed a look of despair. She seemed to see Ethan being struck dead by the opponent's palm, almost fainting on the spot!
At this critical moment, three silver flashes shot out from Ethan's hand, aiming at Ignatius.
At such a close distance, Ignatius had no chance to dodge, allowing Ethan to target Ignatius more accurately!
"That move again?" Ignatius sneered inwardly, clearly not taking Ethan's attack seriously, but the moment the silver needles entered his body, his expression changed dramatically!
The three silver needles actually pierced his body, and unlike the previous weapons, the energy infused in these needles easily broke through his defense!
Almost at that moment, the silver needles entered Ignatius's body, and his palm struck Ethan's chest.
Immediately, both of them were involuntarily sent flying backward!
Ignatius never expected that when he should have been crushing Ethan, he would be ambushed by him.
As the three silver needles penetrated his body, his body convulsed uncontrollably. After falling to the ground, he couldn't even stand up!
"Ethan!" Sarah, disregarding Ethan's previous instructions, rushed to the fallen Ethan and held him up from the ground.
Ethan's face was pale, and his once bright eyes could barely open into thin slits.
Seeing Sarah's concerned expression, Ethan managed to force a smile. "Don't worry. I'm fine. It's not that easy for him to kill me!"
Seeing that he was still breathing, Sarah finally breathed a sigh of relief, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"You fool, knowing you couldn't win, why didn't you run? Why did you have to show off?"
"Some people are not unbeatable. I have my principles to uphold!" Ethan shook his head slowly. The most important thing in practicing the ZF knack was a steadfast heart. He couldn't allow himself to retreat in the face of an enemy!
"Bastard! Ethan, what did you do to me?" Not far away, Ignatius's angry roar suddenly echoed.
Magnus and the others were all terrified and hurriedly helped Ignatius up in a panic.
"Nothing much, just sealed at least half of your internal energy. If you forcefully use your energy, you might risk losing control and harming yourself! That palm you just struck only had half its power, which is why I'm still alive!" Ethan grinned, looking very pleased with himself.
"You ambushed me! Fine, you've successfully angered me! Do you really think I can't do anything to you now? Even with only half my internal energy, it's enough to deal with you! I don't need to use my internal techniques. Just my physical strength is enough to finish you off in your current injured state!"
After a brief period of adaptation, Ignatius gradually regained his ability to move.
His greatest reliance was not his internal energy but his body, which he had trained to be solid.
By combining internal and external training, his strength far surpassed that of some masters who only focused on internal energy!
"If you want to kill him, you'll have to kill me first!" Sarah's face changed color instantly, and she immediately shielded Ethan with her body.
Ethan thought this scene is so similar to when Chloe protected him in front of Elbert!
"Do you think I won't dare?" Ignatius's face twisted with rage, and he was about to attack Sarah first!
"Enough. Causing such a commotion on my turf, have you no regard for me?" At that moment, a cold voice suddenly came from a nearby corridor.
As the voice fell, a middle-aged man in a suit with a buzz cut appeared in everyone's sight!
"And who are you?" Ignatius, surprised by the sudden appearance of another person, asked with a grim face.
"Gino!" The middle-aged man calmly stated his name.
"Gino? Are you the mysterious owner of Midnight Oasis, Gino?" Lucian exclaimed in shock, clearly having heard the name before!
Ignatius sensed an aura from Gino that was no weaker than his own, and his expression became uncertain. He pondered, 'Why did this guy show up at this moment? Could he be with Ethan?'
