Chapter 472: Chapter 472 An Ever Resurrecting Guardian
Inside the Hydrating Tower, I had the same idea as Elder Adrianne.
"Want the Hydrating Tower? You must be kidding!" I scoffed.
During my conversation with Elder Adrianne just now, I’d suddenly thought of a possibility.
What if there was a secret hidden beneath the Hydrating Tower?
It would take at least twelve hours for Elder Adrianne’s people to return with reinforcements and come back to Summers.
I planned to use these twelve hours to try and see if the secret was really hidden beneath the Hydrating Tower.
Once everything was ready, I began to work.
My palm shimmered with light, and a powerful spiritual force gathered on my fist.
The next second, I smashed my fist towards the ground!
"Boom!"
The ground shook instantly! It was like an earthquake had hit!
Above the ground, cracks began to appear.
"What hard ground." Looking at the cracks on the ground, I couldn’t help but feel shocked!
If it were ordinary ground, it might have shattered from this punch, right?
Without thinking much, I kept smashing my fists towards the ground.
"Boom!"
Another loud noise! This time, the entire Hydrating Tower trembled slightly!
——
"Damn, is this kid trying to destroy the Hydrating Tower?" Outside the tower, Elder Adrianne’s face changed, and he couldn’t help swearing under his breath.
——
"Boom!"
Another punch!
After three straight punches, the ground still hadn’t broken!
"Strange." I couldn’t help but frown.
What was this ground made of? How could it be so solid?
Even steel couldn’t handle my three punches!
"I don’t believe I can’t break it!" I snorted, my whole body surging with energy, my fists flashing with brilliant golden light.
"Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!"
As I roared, the ground began to hum, and the entire Hydrating Tower seemed ready to collapse!
"Crackle!"
The ground fell apart like an eggshell, layer by layer!
Below the ground, there was indeed a hidden world!
"The secret really is hidden below the Hydrating Tower!" I was thrilled!
In the ground, a dark light flickered, and an unusual aura rushed towards me!
The realm improvement brought by the Hydrating Tower came from underground!
I didn’t think twice and jumped down immediately.
Below the Hydrating Tower, a dark green light flickered.
I followed the light and moved forward.
Soon, I found the source of the light.
In front of me was a palm-sized small tree.
The tree was crystal-clear green, and it gave off an aura similar to Enlightenment Tea.
As I approached the small tree, I felt my state of mind suddenly clear and everything become bright.
"The secret of the Hydrating Tower comes from this small tree." I stared at the green tree, a little excited deep inside.
"Once I take this tree away, the Hydrating Tower will be worthless, and all the Great Saint Sect will get is an empty shell!" I sneered secretly.
With that thought, I reached out, planning to take the small tree with me.
However, just as my hand was about to touch the tree, a large blade came flying through the air!
The fierce blade aura instantly pushed me back!
"No one is allowed to approach the Three Pure Ancient Tree!" A cold voice came from not far away!
Looking up, I saw a man in old-fashioned clothes walking towards me.
"Is this... a Guardian?" I couldn’t help but feel astonished.
It’s said that a spiritual entity tasked with guarding Dharma Treasures would be born from worldly Treasures, and this spiritual entity is known as the Guardian.
I’d heard of Guardians before but had never seen one.
Seeing one today, I naturally became alarmed and lost my composure.
"So this is called the Three Pure Ancient Tree," I whispered.
Then, I looked at the Guardian and said in a negotiating tone, "This Three Pure Ancient Tree is quite important to me. Why don’t you give it to me?"
The Guardian immediately shouted, "No one is allowed to approach the Three Pure Ancient Tree!"
After saying that, he launched another aerial attack!
I quickly jumped aside, muttering, "What a temper..."
"Leave immediately!" The Guardian held his Long Blade, pointing at me.
I touched my chin and whispered, "It seems I can’t take this Three Pure Ancient Tree away without defeating you."
"Well... I don’t mean to offend you!"
As my words fell, golden light shone all over my body!
"Come on, let me see what you Guardians can do!" I sneered.
"Swoosh!"
The Guardian immediately swung his steel blade, slashing fiercely at me.
I stepped on the Shrinking Ground Into An Inch, easily avoiding the attack.
The next second, my fist arrived in front of the Guardian’s head!
"Sorry!"
The golden fist, with its overwhelming force, smashed ruthlessly into the Guardian’s head!
With a "crack" sound, the Guardian’s head burst open, his body fell straight down, and soon after, it vanished into thin air.
"Turns out he’s just a show-off." I muttered, looking at the Guardian who had collapsed.
Then, I quickly walked to the Three Pure Ancient Tree.
Just as I reached out, another steel blade came flying through the air!
This strike was much stronger than before! The terrifying sword energy left white marks all over my body!
"No one is allowed to approach the Three Pure Ancient Tree, leave promptly!"
The familiar voice rang out again!
My face changed as I saw the Guardian reappear!
"How could this happen?" I complained bitterly.
How could another one appear after I killed one?
Without thinking too much, I repeated my previous move and shattered the Guardian’s head again.
However, when I approached the Three Pure Ancient Tree for the third time, the Guardian was reborn!
Like this, I killed the Guardian eleven times in a row, but still couldn’t get the Three Pure Ancient Tree.
"Something’s wrong." I panted as I looked at the Guardian who had resurrected for the twelfth time.
It seemed that every time the Guardian resurrected, its strength increased significantly.
The Guardian, who had appeared for the first time, couldn’t hurt me at all. When his Long Blade landed on me, it couldn’t even leave a white mark.
But the Guardian that appeared for the eleventh time could break through my physical defenses.
"Boom!"
My fist shattered the Guardian’s head once again, but in less than half a minute, the Guardian reappeared.
"No, this won’t work. I’ll be worn out to death at this rate!" My face looked a bit grim.
I stared at the distant Three Pure Ancient Tree and murmured, "Should I just give up like this? Absolutely not!"
As long as I could get the Three Pure Ancient Tree, I was confident that I could step into the half-step Martial Marquis Realm before September 9th!
That’s why I had to get this Three Pure Ancient Tree at all costs!
