Chapter 743: Chapter 743 A Hand From Nowhere
I grasped what the man with the mustache meant.
Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials don’t emerge like other treasures. They won’t show any shocking visions beforehand and stay completely calm to fool everyone’s senses.
I sat quietly, waiting, spreading my divine sense around the area, scared I’d miss even the tiniest movement.
Guy Noble brought over twenty Marquis to guard the perimeter, stopping anyone from trying to steal it.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, two hours had gone by.
The sky slowly grew darker, but there was still no sign of the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials showing up.
"Could your prediction really be wrong?" Even Guy Noble couldn’t help asking at this point.
I smiled bitterly. "It shouldn’t be. We’ve waited this long already, so what’s a little more time?"
Guy Noble shrugged. "Fine then. Guess I’m stuck on this crazy ride."
"Boom!"
Before Guy Noble finished speaking, an earth-shaking thunder bolt suddenly crashed down from the sky!
The lightning was absolutely devastating, striking right in front of us all!
The powerful force sent everyone flying!
"Get ready, the Medicinal Materials are about to show up." I quickly scrambled to my feet, staring hard at the lightning strike.
Looking up, I saw dark clouds swirling in the sky, with blue light building up inside them.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Right then, the ground started shaking too, like something was about to burst out from underground.
I held back the excitement in my heart, keeping my eyes locked on the spot.
I clenched my fists slightly, letting my breath flow around my body, ready to grab the Medicinal Materials the second it appeared.
——
On the other side, Ms. Zackary and the others were planning to leave Downton City and head back to the Capital City.
At the airport restaurant, Ms. Zackary was having dinner.
Jean Tricia sat next to her, constantly sucking up to her.
Just then, an earth-shattering thunder flash lit up outside!
The loud crash even made the whole airport shake!
"Is it gonna rain?" Jean Tricia asked, surprised.
As soon as he spoke, an announcement came over the airport speakers saying flights would be delayed due to weather, with specific times to be announced later.
Hearing this, Ms. Zackary frowned even deeper.
"It was sunny just a minute ago. How could thunder just start out of nowhere?" Ms. Zackary put down her chopsticks and looked up at the sky.
"Well, that’s Downton City weather for you," Jean Tricia said, not caring much.
Ms. Zackary stayed quiet. She walked out of the airport and looked toward where the thunder came from.
"That direction... looks like where Mason Raymond is." Ms. Zackary’s brow creased tight, and she suddenly got a bad feeling.
"Ms. Zackary, you’re overthinking this. It’s just normal weather changes," Jean Tricia still didn’t get it.
"Boom!"
Another shock wave of thunder hit!
Then the dark clouds turned into amazing seven-colored rainbow clouds!
Everyone immediately pulled out their phones to capture this weird scene!
"Seven-colored rainbow clouds... that means a treasure’s coming out! This is bad!" Ms. Zackary suddenly realized something!
Jean Tricia’ prediction might have been completely wrong!
"Ms. Zackary, this... this isn’t seven-colored rainbow clouds..." Jean Tricia also figured out something was off and quickly tried to explain.
Ms. Zackary shot Jean Tricia a cold look and said, "I’ll deal with you later!"
After saying that, Ms. Zackary looked at the many people in purple robes and shouted, "Everyone, follow me back!"
The group quickly left the airport and rushed toward Mason Raymond’s location!
Not just Ms. Zackary - other Marquis noticed this vision too.
"Ms. Zackary should’ve already left Downton City by now. Maybe I’ll get a shot!" one Marquis thought to himself.
So many Marquis rushed toward Mason Raymond’s direction!
——
Right then, I was looking up at the seven-colored rainbow clouds above.
"This is bad. This kind of vision will definitely bring martial artists here to fight for it," I thought, my eyebrows scrunching together.
The man with the mustache didn’t seem too worried. He laughed and said, "Don’t stress about it. Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Materials appear really fast - won’t take long. I’m sure we can grab this herb before they get here."
Even with his confidence, I still felt uneasy.
If there were top-ranking Marquis nearby, a huge battle would be unavoidable.
"Mr. Tenny, it’s up to you," I said.
Guy Noble confidently thumped his chest. "Don’t worry about it!"
Right then, an incredibly bright light suddenly flashed in the Void, and the medicinal materials started taking shape!
"That’s it!" I didn’t dare waste any time. I stomped my foot and exploded toward the medicinal materials!
"This Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Material is mine!"
Just then, several figures suddenly burst out from the shadows!
And they were all after the same thing - the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Material!
"Oh no!" My expression changed completely.
I never thought there were so many people hiding nearby!
I didn’t have time to think more and immediately used Shrinking Ground Into An Inch to rush toward the medicinal materials!
"Buzz"
Right then, someone suddenly attacked me!
A huge palm seemed to come out of nowhere, reaching straight for me!
"Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist!"
I shouted and immediately threw a punch!
The palm shattered under my fist!
"Hmph, this medicinal material is mine!" At that moment, another blinding light blasted toward me!
This light was incredibly bright, packed with the power of a Martial Saint!
"This is bad! It’s a Martial Saint Weapon!" My face went white!
At this critical moment, Guy Noble jumped into the fight with a folding fan in his hand!
He waved the folding fan, directly breaking apart the Martial Saint’s power!
At the same time, the man with the mustache quickly stepped forward, and even Watson Thompson joined the battle!
"Mason Raymond, you just go get the medicinal materials. We’ll handle the rest," Guy Noble said.
I nodded. "Thanks!"
With my friends helping out, I felt much lighter on my feet.
I used all my strength, rushing toward the medicinal materials!
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, several tentacle-like rays of light shot up from under my feet, wrapping around my calf!
"Swoosh"
Right then, a sharp blade appeared in the mustached man’s hand, cutting the tentacles clean off!
Guy Noble even ordered more than twenty Marquis to hold back the crowd, keeping them from getting ahead!
I stared straight at the beam of light, reaching out my palm to grab it desperately.
Only five steps, three steps, one step left...
"I’ve got it!"
But just as my palm reached out, a big hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicinal Material!
My face changed instantly. Looking up, I saw a man in a black robe standing in front of me!
He seemed to appear out of thin air, obviously using some kind of spatial spell!
"It’s you!" Seeing the person in front of me, my expression changed immediately.
