Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 513: Chapter 513: The Real Treasure

Emerson Holmes merely flicked his finger, and a force erupted, clinging close to Ethan Smith’s dantian!

There was less than a millimeter of space separating them; Ethan didn’t stand a chance of evading it!

This force was even more oppressive and brutally slammed into Ethan’s dantian!

“Plop!”

A mouthful of blood suddenly spewed from Ethan Smith’s mouth!

The tremendous force not only hurt Ethan but also flung him dozens of meters away!

His physical body slammed into countless rocks as he slid towards the edge of the cliff!

Even then Ethan’s body showed no signs of stopping as he slid off the Dragon Vein and began to tumble down towards the abyss below the cliff!

Emerson Holmes, who stood in the distance, couldn’t help but chuckle coldly as he looked on.

“Mr. President, are we just going to let him run away?” Soren Taylor furrowed his brow in question.

Emerson Holmes raised an eyebrow, laughed coldly, and said, “Run? The blow just now was enough to shatter his dantian. Where could he run to?”

Soren Taylor frowned, asking, “So you’re saying… Ethan Smith has been wasted now?”

“Exactly. To my surprise, we’ve gained an unexpected outcome.” Emerson Holmes commented lightly.

However, Soren Taylor huffed and said, “It’s a pity we didn’t finish him off.”

Emerson Holmes shot a glance at Soren Taylor, evidently unimpressed by his remark.

“Well, it’s time to see what treasures are inside.” Emerson Holmes declared.

From the pit, the crowd began to collect treasure after treasure.

Most of it was made up of herbs, each specimen over a thousand years old.

There were as many as eight samples of herbs over five-thousand years old!

Emerson Holmes looked around at everyone and announced gravely, “I want to take this opportunity to concentrate and attempt to break through to the Military Marquis Realm.”

“Breakthrough to Military Marquis?” Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned.

Emerson Holmes simply nodded, “Exactly. I’m only a hair’s breadth away from the Military Marquis realm, and now is the prime opportunity.”

He picked a few herbs, then found a lucky land to focus his efforts on breaking through.

The others voluntarily served as guardians during Emerson Holmes’ breakthrough.

Ethan Smith’s body fell straight from the mountain range, dropping hundreds of meters!

Countless trees were snapped in half, and within moments, Ethan Smith’s body harshly hit the ground!

Even as mighty and robust as Ethan was, he could still feel as if his internal organs were about to be shattered by the impact of the fall!

“Damn it…” Ethan cursed while blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, obviously in extreme agony.

He touched his abdomen, only to find a bloody hole there.

This unsettled Ethan greatly. His expression was frantic, his face deathly pale, and he hastily tried to activate the spiritual power in his dantian.

A trace of spiritual power burst out from the dantian.

Inside the dantian, it seemed like a golden light was shielding him from Emerson Holmes’ attack.

“Thankfully, my dantian wasn’t damaged…” Ethan heaved a sigh of relief.

He sat there and fell into silence.

“If I’m not mistaken, it must be my father’s method.” Ethan pondered in his heart.

Back when he was devouring the Earth Fiend Valley Ancestor, his dantian nearly exploded.

At that time, the same golden light had protected him, and this was the second time.

“Father, who exactly are you?” Ethan mumbled in a low voice.

“Damn, such a waste of those herbs.” At that moment, Ethan remembered the pile of herbs hidden beneath the Stone Tablet.

“Tsk, tsk, I didn’t think you’d discovered it, too.”

Just as Ethan was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came from the side.

This gave Ethan a start, he hastily turned his head and saw the man with the mustache standing behind him, a trace of displeasure on his face.

“What are you doing here?” Ethan Smith frowned.

The man with the mustache snorted lightly, “If you can discover a secret, how would The Master not be able to?”

“A secret?” Ethan was taken aback.

He was about to inquire further, but quickly swallowed his words.

Then, Ethan Smith stood up, suppressing his fear, and said, “Of course, I had already seen through the secret of this place.”

The man with the mustache gave Ethan a thumbs-up, “It’s really remarkable! You figured it out earlier than me!”

At this point, the man with the mustache unctuously proposed, “Well then, we’ve agreed that it’s fifty-fifty, right? Let’s not be greedy about it and follow Conrad Schroeder’s rules.”

It was clear that the man with the mustache considered himself not a match for Ethan, so he was worried Ethan might monopolize the “secret”.

But Ethan had no clue about any secret, so he quickly slapped his chest and said, “Rest assured, I’m not that kind of person. We must evenly split everything!”

“Good brother, fair enough!” The man with the mustache gave Ethan another thumbs-up.

“Let’s get moving then, we can’t afford to waste time. Things may change if we delay. I still need to make a visit to my grandfather’s ancestral tomb.” The man with the mustache babbled.

“Alright.” Ethan was secretly delighted.

He followed the man with the mustache and strode forward.

Under the mountain was a canyon, the scenery of the canyon was not much different than the surroundings above.

After walking for several kilometers, the man with the mustache finally halted.

Right before his eyes, there was a Stone Tablet, almost identical to the one above!

Ethan quickly squat down and began to carefully study the Stone Tablet.

Indeed, even the inscriptions on the Tablet were the same.

The only difference was that the Stone Tablet above was pure white, while this one was pitch black!

“So that’s it!”

Ethan’s mind was quickly spinning, he seemed to have figured something out!

Then he extended his hand and prepared to pull out the Stone Tablet.

The man with the mustache quickly stopped him, shaking his head, “My friend, it’s forbidden to pull that out!”

Ethan Smith stopped his movement.

He looked at the man with the mustache and smiled, “Why can’t it be pulled out?”

The man with the mustache exclaimed in shock, “If this Stone Tablet is pulled out, dark energy will surely erupt! Don’t you know about that?”

Upon hearing this, Ethan’s smirk became even more pronounced.

“As I thought.” Ethan sneered.

He looked at the mustached man, and said, “If this Stone Tablet is pulled out, won’t the Dragon Vein above immediately erupt with qi?”

“Isn’t that obvious!” The man with the mustache muttered.

Ethan Smith raised his head to look at the sky, and everything suddenly became clear in his mind!

This was clearly a Dragon Vein, yet there was not a trace of spiritual energy to be seen!

The reason for this was only one – Yin and Yang were constraining each other, attaining a state of balance!

With the Dragon Vein above representing Yang and the area beneath the Dragon Vein representing Yin!

That was why this spot, which should have been teeming with spiritual energy, was strangely ordinary!

If one looked down from the sky, they would even see the Tai Chi Diagram within the patterns of the landscape!

“This truly is a marvel created by an expert.” Ethan sighed slightly.

He turned to the man with the mustache and said sincerely, “Thank you so much.”

“Huh?” The man with the mustache was perplexed.

Before he could ask anything, Ethan Smith was already gripping the golden light, preparing to strike against the Stone Tablet!
