Chapter 512: Chapter 512 Power Of The Dragon Vein
The Stone Tablet’s layers crumbled apart, collapsing into rubble within seconds!
Hidden beneath the Stone Tablet lay genuine treasure!
At a glance, there were herbs aged thousands of years, ancient magical artifacts kept in storage, and forgotten cultivation techniques!
Every single piece was premium quality!
"There really are herbs!" I felt my excitement surge!
With those five-thousand-year-old herbs in my hands, I could craft a Reincarnation Pill and break through to half-step martial marquis!
I had complete faith in my abilities. Once I hit half-step Martial Marquis level, I knew nobody else at that level could beat me!
Even against a real Marquis, I’d stand my ground!
That’s what the Chaotic Body could do - the ultimate physique!
"Actual treasure!" Dahlia Sean and the others got pumped up too!
Their trip had definitely paid off.
The strange thing was that even with thousand-year-old herbs right there, they couldn’t feel any qi coming from them.
"That’s odd," I thought to myself.
Once the treasures appeared, the mood got tense real quick.
"I only need one of those five-thousand-year herbs. I won’t touch anything else," I said, breaking the heavy silence first.
Phoebe Billy let out a laugh when he heard that. "One five-thousand-year herb? You make it sound so easy."
I shot back coldly, "What’s that supposed to mean?"
Phoebe Billy narrowed his eyes and smirked. "You think way too much of yourself! A five-thousand-year medicinal herb? Take a hard look at what you really are!"
"Mason Raymond, you’re just some lowly bug who caught Miss Sean’s attention. Even when a bug crawls to the top, it’s still just a toy for people like us!"
"You want an herb? Fine, get on your knees and beg me. Maybe I’ll throw you some leftover scraps!"
Phoebe Billy’ sudden attitude flip shocked everyone.
Even I had to frown at that.
I replied coldly: "What if I just take it anyway?"
"Go ahead and try!" Phoebe Billy said with ice in his voice.
I let out a quiet snort and reached for the herb.
Right then, terrifying energy shot straight at my palm!
Feeling that energy, my face went dark.
I yanked my hand back fast - that energy barely missed my palm!
The scary part was that this energy actually cut a bloody gash across my hand!
Just a simple streak of energy managed to slice through my tough skin!
How insanely powerful was that energy!
Remember, even regular half-step martial marquis couldn’t hurt me that easily!
Phoebe Billy squinted and said, "The Capital City Martial Arts Association thinks of everything. We saw all the potential problems coming, including you!"
"Want to guess why the Capital City Martial Arts Association would put a half-step martial marquis like me in charge?"
I stayed quiet, but unease crept into my heart.
"Because... I can tap into Heaven and Earth’s power!" Phoebe Billy roared!
He pointed at the broken Stone Tablet and said coldly, "When this Stone Tablet shattered, it unleashed the Dragon Vein’s power!"
"Dragon Vein power can even fight a Martial Marquis. Mason Raymond, you think you’ve got a shot!"
My expression got more serious.
Looking back, I should’ve killed this Phoebe Billy from the start!
"Mason Raymond, the Capital City Martial Arts Association has always wanted you gone. We were hunting for you, but you walked right into our hands," Phoebe Billy said with menace.
"Perfect. Today I’ll use this chance to finish you off!"
As he spoke, Phoebe Billy’ palm shook slightly, and terrifying power appeared from nowhere!
"Boom!"
This power moved at incredible speed, reaching me almost instantly!
At that speed, even using Shrinking Ground Into An Inch wouldn’t give me enough time!
"Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!"
In desperation, I could only clench my fist and meet the attack straight on!
"Boom!"
Massive force slammed into my fist!
A terrifying scene played out - that energy stream actually crushed my fist, and my arm took devastating damage too!
"How is this possible..." My face went pale!
I knew this power wasn’t ordinary, but I never thought it could be this overwhelmingly strong!
"I told you already - Dragon Vein power can even stand against a Martial Marquis," Phoebe Billy sneered.
"You’re just half-step Martial Marquis. Killing you is child’s play!"
My expression got even darker.
I looked at the herbs in the crack and gritted my teeth.
This herb meant everything to me - I absolutely wouldn’t give it up!
"I’ve got no choice but to fight to the death," I took a deep breath.
I immediately activated the Divine Dragon Power, getting ready to risk everything against Phoebe Billy.
"Looking for death." Phoebe Billy just kept sneering at that.
He barely lifted his finger, releasing terrifying energy right next to me!
"Bang!"
I got forced back several steps, and my physical Golden Light got pierced straight through!
"Oh no." I seemed to realize something.
On top of this Dragon Vein, Phoebe Billy could control all the power.
And this power came from nowhere - it could appear right beside me with absolutely no way to dodge!
"Everyone talks about how tough your body is. Today it looks like it’s nothing special," Phoebe Billy sneered.
"Go die!"
I roared in fury, using Shrinking Ground Into An Inch to charge forward and attack!
But Phoebe Billy just raised his finger, and wild power sent me flying!
This wasn’t Phoebe Billy’ power - it was Dragon Vein power!
This force was something mortals simply couldn’t fight against.
Even with my incredibly tough body, it still wasn’t enough!
"Being too greedy can cost you your life," Phoebe Billy sneered.
"Honestly, from the moment I saw you, I couldn’t stand you."
"You’re clearly some poor nobody, but when you look at me, there’s no fear in your eyes! Where does that confidence come from!"
"You defiant ant!"
Along with Phoebe Billy’ roar came another surge of wild power!
"Boom!"
I got slammed straight into the ground!
Cracks appeared on my flesh, and blood trickled out from my pores!
"Such...such powerful force..." I gritted my teeth, feeling like every bone in my body was about to shatter!
Then Phoebe Billy walked steadily toward me.
Looking down at me with contempt, he sneered: "Wouldn’t it have been better to live as trash? Why stick your nose where it doesn’t belong?"
I had no patience for his rambling - my mind was focused entirely on finding an escape route.
"Since you won’t be trash willingly, I’ll make you into trash myself," Phoebe Billy chuckled.
As he spoke, he raised his finger slightly, aiming straight for my dantian.
