Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: Stirring the Power of the Dragon Vein!

The layers of the Stone Tablet shattered, turning into ruins in the blink of an eye!

Underneath the Stone Tablet, indeed, treasure was concealed!

At first glance, there were medicinal herbs of several thousand years, long-stored magical artifacts, and lost cultivation skills!

Each item was top of the line!

“There really are herbs!” Ethan Smith was quite excited!

Once he possessed the five thousand year old herbs, Ethan Smith could refine a Reincarnation Pill, then step into the half-step martial marquis level!

Ethan Smith had extreme confidence in himself. He believed that once he reached the half-step Martial Marquis level, no one else in the world at the same level could match him!

Even when faced with a true Marquis, Ethan Smith would still hold his ground!

This was the Chaotic Body, the world’s top physique!

“There really is treasure!” Soren Taylor and the others also became excited!

Indeed, their journey had not been in vain.

The only oddity was that even when thousands of years old herbs were unearthed, they still couldn’t sense the slightest bit of qi from them.

“That’s weird.” Ethan thought at the back of his mind.

Once the Dharma Treasures were unearthed, the atmosphere on-site then began to feel slightly awkward.

“I just need one stalk of the five thousand year old herbs, and I will not lay a finger on the rest.” Ethan Smith was the first to break the heavy silence.

On hearing this, Emerson Holmes couldn’t help but chuckle in response: “A stalk of five thousand year old herbs? Indeed, you speak lightly.”

Ethan Smith retorted coldly, “So what do you mean by that?”

Emerson Holmes squinted his eyes and sneered: “You think too highly of yourself! Superintendent of a medicinal herb of five thousand years indeed! You might want to take a good look at who you are!”

“Ethan Smith, you are merely a lowly little ant who has caught the eye of Miss Taylor. Even if an ant climbs to the highest point, it is still nothing more than a plaything for people like us!”

“You want a herb? Sure, kneel down and beg for me, I might consider tossing you some scrap remains!”

The sudden switch in Emerson Holmes’ attitude left everyone dumbfounded.

Even Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown.

He coldly retorted: “And what if I insist on taking it?”

“You can always give it a try!” Emerson Holmes said coldly.

Ethan Smith made a soft humph. He then reached his hand out, ready to grab the herb.

At this moment, however, a terrifying energy aimed directly towards his palm!

Sensing this energy, Ethan Smith’s face turned sour.

He hurriedly drew his hand back – that energy just brushed past his palm!

The horrifying part was that this energy actually left a bloody scratch on Ethan’s hand!

Merely a streak of plain energy that managed to slice through the indomitable skin of Ethan Smith!

How powerful was that energy!

Keep in mind, not even an ordinary half-step martial marquis could wound Ethan Smith this easily!

Emerson Holmes, squinting, said, “The Capital City Martial Arts Association always leaves no stone unturned. We anticipated all possible issues, including you!”

“Can you guess, why the Capital City Martial Arts Association would let a half-step martial marquis like me take charge?”

Ethan Smith remained silent, but there was a hint of unease in his heart.

“That’s because… I can harness the power of Heaven and Earth!” Emerson Holmes roared!

Pointing at the shattered Stone Tablet, he said coldly, “Once this Stone Tablet broke, the power of the Dragon Vein was released!”

“The power of the Dragon Vein can even contend with a Martial Marquis. Ethan Smith, do you think you stand a chance!”

Ethan Smith’s expression grew increasingly grave.

Hindsight being 20/20, he should have killed this Emerson Holmes in the beginning!

“Ethan Smith, the Capital City Martial Arts Association has always seen you as a thorn in its side. We were looking for you, instead you came straight to us.” Emerson Holmes said sinisterly.

“So be it, today I will take this opportunity to kill you!”

As he spoke, Emerson Holmes’s palm trembled slightly, and a terrifying power appeared out of nowhere!

“Boom!”

This power was approaching its extreme, almost arriving in front of Ethan Smith in the blink of an eye!

Such speed, even if utilizing the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch, there wouldn’t be enough time!

“Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!”

In a moment of urgency, Ethan Smith could only clench his fist to meet the attack head-on!

“Boom!”

A massive force exploded onto Ethan Smith’s fist!

A terrifying scene unfolded, that current of power actually shattered Ethan Smith’s fist, even his arm suffered a devastating blow!

“How could this happen…” Ethan Smith’s face turned ashen!

He knew this power was not simple, but never thought it could be this overwhelmingly strong!

“I already told you, the power of the Dragon Vein, even facing a Martial Marquis, it has a fighting chance.” Emerson Holmes sneered.

“You are but a half-step Martial Marquis, killing you would merely be a flick of the wrist!”

Ethan Smith’s expression grew even graver.

He glanced at the herbs in the crevice, and gritted his teeth.

This herb was far too important to Ethan Smith, he was absolutely unwilling to give it up!

“I have no choice but to fight to the death.” Ethan Smith took a deep breath.

He immediately urged on the Divine Dragon Power, preparing to risk it all against Emerson Holmes.

“Seeking death.” At this, Emerson Holmes just sneered endlessly.

He merely raised his finger slightly, unleashing a terrifying energy beside Ethan Smith!

“Bang!”

Ethan Smith was forced to retreat several steps, his physical Golden Light was punctured directly!

“Oh no.” Ethan Smith seemed to have guessed something.

Atop this Dragon Vein, Emerson Holmes could control all power.

And this power arose out of nowhere, it could be born beside Ethan Smith, with absolutely nowhere to hide!

“Everyone says your body is strong. Today it seems, it is nothing more.” Emerson Holmes sneered.

“Go to hell!”

Ethan Smith roared in anger, performing the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch, he advanced to attack!

However, Emerson Holmes merely lifted his finger, a wild current of power, directly sent Ethan Smith flying!

This wasn’t Emerson Holmes’s power, but the power of the Dragon Vein!

This force, fundamentally, was not something mortals could counter.

Even if Ethan Smith’s body was incredibly resilient, it still didn’t work!

“Too greedy, it’s easy to lose your life.” Emerson Holmes sneered.

“To be honest, from the moment I saw you, I found you distasteful.”

“You clearly are a poor commoner, yet the look in your eyes when you see me has no fear! Where does this confidence come from!”

“You rebellious ant!”

Accompanying Emerson Holmes’s roar was another surge of wild power!

“Boom!”

Ethan Smith was directly slapped into the ground!

His flesh showed trace cracks, and from his pores, trickled out lines of blood!

“Such…such a powerful force…” Ethan Smith gritted his teeth, feeling as if every bone in his body was about to be smashed!

Afterwards, Emerson Holmes steadily approached Ethan Smith.

With a condescending look at Ethan Smith, he sneered: “Wasn’t it good enough to live as a waste? Why jump into muddy waters?”

Ethan Smith had no patience to listen to the blabber, his mind was filled with thoughts of escape.

“Since you’re unwilling to be a waste, I’ll turn you into one then.” Emerson Holmes chuckled.

As he spoke, he slightly raised his finger, aiming for Ethan Smith’s dantian.
