A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 57: Unstoppable

He is the notorious bandit Baron Hunter, also a formidable Yellow Realm warrior.

Today, leading a team on a mission with victory almost within reach, he was struck from a height of 100 meters.
Although Baron Hunter did not die immediately, he knew that most of his bones were broken, and even if he survived, he would be paralyzed. He felt incredibly despairing and unwilling.
Ethan thought he would die painfully, but unexpectedly, his body was completely unharmed.
And beneath him was a middle-aged man who had been injured by the fall.
"Thank you, God."
Ethan let out a sigh of relief, and then looked around.
The scene was a mess, with severed limbs, over thirty corpses, and signs of explosions, indicating a fierce battle had taken place there.
Then, he looked toward the middle of the corpses, where three cars were parked. The front and rear of the cars were covered in blood, and the bodies were riddled with arrow marks and bullet holes.
In front of a Lincoln, an elderly man in gray clothes was kneeling, holding a bloodstained axe in his hand.
Panting heavily, wounded all over, he was at the end of his strength.
Beside him, two women in green clothes lay at an angle, barely alive.
Behind the Lincoln, Ms. Scarlet was hiding. She was not as domineering as usual and, instead, was surprisingly calm.
It was this silence that allowed her to maintain the last bit of control.
She tightly gripped a Browning pistol, with three dead killers lying at her feet.
It was without a doubt that she had killed them.
Around the Lincoln, six indifferent killers stood, each with murderous intent, ready to launch the final assault.
But at this moment, everyone was focused on Ethan, the man who had fallen from the sky.
When Ms. Scarlet saw that it was Ethan, she froze, and her cold eyes softened slightly.
She never expected that Ethan would risk his life to rescue her.
At this moment, seeing Ethan's strange expression, Baron Hunter, who had regained some breath, struggled to lift his military knife:
"Damned bastard, I'll kill you..."
"Bang!"
Terrified by the bloodied Baron Hunter, Ethan's wrist trembled, and half a stone struck him in the forehead.
"Thud!"
Baron Hunter's skull cracked loudly, and he collapsed back, his life force dwindling. He was filled with anger: "You... you..."
"Sorry..."
Seeing that he had smashed the man's head again, Ethan felt embarrassed, trying to get off Baron Hunter.
"Crack!"
Another loud snap sounded as Ethan accidentally pressed down on his ribs, causing the fractured ribs to completely snap and puncture his chest cavity.
"Thud—"
Baron Hunter's body shook, his face turned pale, and a spray of blood burst out.
"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Ethan saw that he had caused more trouble, and hurriedly pulled the rib he had pressed down back up.
Baron Hunter immediately screamed in agony, his eyes bloodshot, wanting to strangle Ethan to death.
But his raised hands soon fell limply back to his sides.
His life force was extinguished, leaving him dead with regret.
Baron Hunter never expected that, just when he had the victory in hand, he would fail, nor did he ever imagine that a prominent Yellow Realm warrior like him would be crushed to death by a brick.
He didn't even see Ethan's face.
"Is he dead?"
Ethan looked at the stone in his hand, stunned. Did he die so quickly?
He hurriedly stood up, only to see six killers rushing toward him.
They held curved knives, crossbows, and firearms, exuding a murderous aura.
Ms. Scarlet ran out from behind the car:
"Ethan, be careful."
She pulled the trigger at one of the enemies but heard the click of an empty gun.
"My brother!"
Seeing that Baron Hunter had breathed his last, the six killers paused for a moment, then cried out in rage:
"Damned bastard! You killed the second brother! You killed the second brother!"
"We'll kill you! Kill you!"
A man with leopard-like eyes was especially furious: "Brothers, kill him, kill him, avenge the eldest brother!"
"Release!"
Ethan felt the danger and shouted, pressing down on the stone, causing it to shatter into several pieces, which he quickly flung toward the attackers.
The broken stones instantly shot out like a dense rain.
"Bang, bang, bang——"
The six killers, who were about to kill Ethan, were immediately hit in the head, falling to the ground with screams.
The crossbows and firearms were also raised, firing into the air.
Then, Ethan's body flashed, and he appeared in front of one of the killers, swiftly swinging the Fish intestine Sword.
The killer's face changed drastically, instinctively raised his military knife to block.
"Clang——"
With a loud clang, Fish intestine sword cut through the military knife, then sank into the killer's throat.
"Damned bastard!"
The man with leopard eyes, though injured, grabbed a homemade gun.
He fired it at Ethan without hesitation.
"Bang——"
Hundreds of iron beads shot out.
Ms. Scarlet instinctively shouted, "Be careful!"
Ethan could have easily dodged the attack, but if he did, Ms. Scarlet would be hit.
So, he could only throw himself over Ms. Scarlet, rolling sideways to avoid the fatal shot.
Ethan avoided the deadly barrage, but three or four iron beads hit his back.
A spray of blood erupted.
Ms. Scarlet saw Ethan in pain, and her heart trembled:
"Ethan..."
If Ethan had brought Cici back to life twice, Ms. Scarlet was only grateful to him. But today, Ethan made her feel touched.
From childhood, she had been taught to be independent, and strong, and to fight like a man in her career.
All these years, she had been outstanding, but the inner pain was only known to her alone.
Now, Ms. Scarlet felt safe.
Ethan's embrace made her unable to stop savoring it, as though as long as Ethan was there, she would never have to fear the cold or danger again.
Compared to Ms. Scarlet's infatuation, Ethan remained focused, pushing Ms. Scarlet under the car, and then rolling swiftly.
He quickly reached the man with leopard eyes.
"Crack——"
The man with leopard eyes hurriedly pulled the trigger for a second shot.
Ethan waved his right hand.
The man immediately spat blood from his throat, his body swaying as he collapsed to the ground.
"Bang——"
Ethan kicked his body away, sending him flying into several killers who were about to shoot.
Bodies and horses were overturned.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ethan rushed forward.
The four killers were shocked and instinctively took two steps back.
Amid the astonished expressions of Ms. Scarlet and the old man in gray, Ethan showed no mercy, swinging his sword.
The sword light flickered like lightning!
Streams of blood shot into the sky!
Three killers died one after another.
The last one collapsed, throwing down his weapon, raising his hands, and shouting, "I surrender, I surrender."
He had the chance to shoot but lost the courage to pull the trigger.
"Surrendering won't save you. My rule... is to cut the grass and remove the roots!"
He raised his hand again, driving Fish intestine sword into Baron Hunter's throat.
All were killed!
