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.”
