Mrs. and Mr. Smith - Chapter 1854 - Chapter 1854 Chapter 1854 Conditions_1
Chapter 1854: Chapter 1854: Conditions_1 Chapter 1854: Chapter 1854: Conditions_1 Ethan Smith’s face turned ice-cold in an instant, and even Demon Brayden in front of him felt a little uncomfortable.
“Tell me first, what’s going on with these people.” Ethan Smith pointed at the corpses scattered around him and spoke in a deep voice.
Demon Brayden opened his mouth but seemed reluctant to tell Ethan Smith.
Frederick Cohen, who was standing beside them, spoke impatiently, “Why are you wasting your breath with him? Just search his divine sense directly.”
Instead of choosing that option, Ethan Smith cautiously asked, “Is it related to the Life Aura?”
At these words, a hint of shock crossed Demon Brayden’s face.
“It seems that I guessed correctly,” said Ethan Smith solemnly.
Then, Ethan Smith got up and said, “This is your last chance, and your last chance to survive. If you don’t tell me, I can kill you and report it. It’s up to you.”
Demon Brayden fell silent.
A moment later, he sighed and slowly spoke, “It is related to the Life Aura, and these people were providing me with Life Aura.”
Ethan Smith turned around, waiting for Demon Brayden’s follow-up explanation.
He slowly said, “Years ago, I accidentally obtained a holy method, which detailed how to seize the life force of others for one’s use.”
“All the people you see before you were captured by me, their life force stripped away for my use. Once their life force is depleted, they will wither and die.”
“And their life force can not only increase my lifespan, but it can also enhance my cultivation.”
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith was greatly alarmed!
He never expected such a cultivation method to exist in this world, one that relied on stripping others’ life force to increase one’s own lifespan!
It should be noted that under the heavens, regardless of the realm, everyone is limited by their lifespan, even Tribulation Stage Great Cultivators.
No matter their cultivation, everyone would eventually return to dust. Even those who defied the natural order could only slightly increase their lifespan and delay the arrival of death.
But Demon Brayden before him actually possessed such a method!
If top Great Cultivators obtained this method, it would inevitably be a disaster!
For their own lifespans, they might go on a killing spree, turning the entire world into their breeding ground for ensuring their longevity. How terrifying!
“You… How long have you been doing this?” Ethan Smith asked with a dark expression.
Demon Brayden shook his head, “I don’t remember exactly how long, but I do know that this is the 3,800th batch of people providing me with Life Aura.”
Three thousand eight hundred batches, a hundred people in each batch, which meant he had robbed at least 380,000 cultivators of their lifespans!
“You damned bastard, I’ll kill you right now!” The furious Frederick Cohen clenched his fists and stepped forward.
Ethan Smith stopped Cohen. Normally, he would have killed Demon Brayden with a single punch, but right now, nothing was more important to Ethan Smith than saving Salena Carpenter.
As Ethan Smith said earlier, he was willing to make any sacrifices as long as Salena could be saved.
“That’s pretty ruthless of you.” Ethan Smith coldly looked at Demon Brayden, his face filled with gloom.
But Demon Brayden seemed unfazed, saying coldly, “You said you would spare my life.”
Ethan Smith didn’t respond to this remark, but continued to ask, “Where is the Life Aura you’ve accumulated?”
“It’s in the formation.” Demon Brayden replied.
Following his direction, Ethan Smith glanced over and then sneered, “For such a long time, your cultivation hasn’t improved much.”
Demon Brayden scoffed, “What do you know? What I’ve enhanced the most is my lifespan. I can live for at least five thousand years now!”
Indeed, it was a terrifying number. The lifespan of Reversion Void Stage cultivators was generally around four thousand years. Even those with exceptionally long lives could hardly surpass four thousand five hundred years.
“From the looks of it, you have a short-life face. I’ll kill you with one punch right now, and your lifespan will be wasted.” Cohen snorted coldly.
At this, Demon Brayden did not have anything to say and only grunted.
Ethan Smith took a deep breath and said, “I want you to do something for me now. As long as you do this, I promise to spare your life.”
“What is it?” Demon Brayden asked calmly.
Ethan Smith pointed at the formation and said, “If you want to live, you must change from being the perpetrator to the victim.”
Doubt flickered in Demon Brayden’s eyes as he frowned, “What do you mean?”
Ethan Smith sneered, “From now on, this formation has nothing to do with you. Everything was done by someone else. You were forced to do this out of desperation, and the only way you can survive is to say that you were coerced by someone else.”
Demon Brayden suddenly realized the meaning behind Ethan Smith’s words.
He seemed like a man clinging to a life-saving straw, anxiously saying, “This is indeed a good method! But… Can it deceive Demon-slaying Peak?”
Ethan Smith coldly replied, “Of course it can’t, but with me testifying for you, it can be done.”
Demon Brayden was overjoyed, obviously never expecting that he would have a chance to survive. The despair he felt earlier vanished in an instant!
But soon, he furrowed his brow again.
He looked at Ethan Smith suspiciously and asked, “Why are you helping me? You can’t be after this method too, right?”
Ethan Smith’s cold voice responded, “Help you? I would rather tear you to pieces than help you.”
“Then what are you doing it for?” Demon Brayden grew even more puzzled.
Ethan Smith squinted his eyes and said, “You don’t need to know. You only need to understand that from now on, you must bite your tongue and say the Central Province Tenny family forced you to do this.”
“The Central Province Tenny family? Ronin Tenny?” Demon Brayden asked in a deep voice.
“I don’t know, but I know he has a son named Addison Tenny,” Ethan Smith replied.
Demon Brayden nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s him. What, do you have a feud with him?”
“Like I said, you don’t need to know that much,” Ethan Smith coldly replied.
“Then tell me, will you agree or not?”
Demon Brayden sneered, “Agree, of course I agree. Why wouldn’t I agree to save my life? But I have one condition.”
“You fucking dare to have conditions?!” Cohen immediately lost his temper, ready to start a fight.

Suppressing his anger, Ethan Smith coldly asked, “What condition?”
Demon Brayden spoke indifferently, “Not only should you spare my life, but you also cannot cripple my cultivation. After I do this task, you must immediately send me away from Thunder Courtyard.”
Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sneer, “You’re quite clever.”
“Do you agree or not?” Demon Brayden asked.
Ethan Smith’s eyes narrowed slightly before he coldly chuckled, “Fine, I agree to your terms.”
