Chapter 334 Golden Page

That piece of paper was only size of a palm . Lines covered the entire page, and as soon as it appeared, an incredibly ancient air radiated off of it, filling the entire room . At the same time, a powerful spiritual pressure shot out as well .

This sudden change stunned everyone . After pausing for just an instant, everyone crazily charged towards the page .

“f.u.c.k off, it’s mine!”

Although the tomb was already beginning to collapse, everyone, whether they were from the Righteous or Corrupt path, was now charging at the golden page . Blood splattered everywhere .

All of their eyes had reddened . Anyone who was in front of them, whether it was someone from the same path or opposing path, would be attacked by them .

The three Chosen were the furthest from the coffin . As for Long Chen, because he had taken the forging table, he had then retreated further away to avoid being attacked . So it was the regular disciples who were the closest to the coffin .

“Haha-!”

One person was the first to reach the golden page . He had just laughed and been about to say something to an expert from the monastery when his hand was directly cut off by someone’s saber .

This first person was actually from the same monastery as Zhao Mingshan . His plan had been to announce that this treasure now belonged to Zhao Mingshan, and so no one could fight over it .

However, he had underestimated people’s greed . After his hand was cut off, he only managed to get out half a wail before he went silent .

A sword had already cut off his head . Someone behind him had been irritated that he had been blocking the way, and they had directly killed him in one attack . Surprisingly, the one to kill him was also a monastery disciple .

But that disciple was smart, and had long since torn off the marking on his robes . He had also applied something to his face so no one could recognize him, leaving no evidence .

The entire room was a complete mess now . The tomb was constantly quivering, and it was pouring dirt from the ceiling .

That dirt was not ordinary dirt . It was as hard as steel, and sometimes huge portions of it would collapse at once, instantly killing any core disciple it landed on .

But all that was not able to stop the fervor . This inner coffin was a normal size; in other words, this coffin was the one that really contained the tomb owner’s corpse .

And this golden page that had been laying on top of this coffin was definitely a treasure amongst treasures . Even the Corrupt disciples became greedy, and they also joined the struggle .

In just a couple breaths, this golden page pa.s.sed through several hands, and over ten disciples had already died .

The three Chosen wanted to join the fight over it, as that golden page was definitely invaluable .

But they were also unwilling to give up on killing Long Chen . If they allowed Long Chen to escape while fighting for the treasure, that would definitely fill them with regret .

But if they lost the treasure in order to kill Long Chen, that would also be regretful . For a moment, they didn’t know what to do .

They only watched as those disciples struggled, while also dodging the large slabs of earth falling from the ceiling .

The tomb was shaking with more intensity as time pa.s.sed . Just standing was getting difficult .

Another stone pillar collapsed, smas.h.i.+ng into the crowd . Tens of people were instantly turned to pulp .

Suddenly, a figure charged into the crowd, and a terrifying Sword Qi swept through the remnants .

Several people were instantly killed by that Sword Qi, one of them being a powerful Favored .

“It’s the Corrupt Chosen!”

Someone let out a startled cry . They all realized now that the Corrupt Chosen had charged into their midst, going straight for the Favored who was now holding the golden page .

That page was extremely odd, and it could not be absorbed into a spatial ring . They could only hold it .

“Save me senior apprentice-brother Zhao!”

That Favored with the golden page immediately turned pale when he saw the Corrupt Chosen come to kill him .

Right now, he was completely focused on blocking the attacks from several other Favored . At the same time, he also had to pay attention to sneak attacks from others . That was already extremely taxing for him . If a Chosen was added into the mix, he would definitely die .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how dare you go back on your word?!” raged Zhao Mingshan, charging at the Corrupt Chosen .

The Corrupt Chosen was just about to reach the Favored and kill him, when a terrifying aura locked down on him . If he wanted to kill the Favored, he would need to receive a full strength attack from Zhao Mingshan, which would at least heavily injure him, if not kill him .

Naturally he chose to block Zhao Mingshan’s saber . He sneered, “I only agreed not to interfere with what was inside the outer coffin . I didn’t say anything about the treasures of the inner coffin . ”

“Blood Figure Devours Souls!” He suddenly spat a mouthful of blood onto his sword, and a terrifying aura shot out .

“AHHH!”

All the Righteous disciples suddenly began to scream, feeling as if their heads were being stabbed with needles . Even Favored were not able to bear it .

Favored were clenching their heads tightly . As for core disciples, they were bleeding from their seven apertures[1], their souls filled with immense pain, as if countless ghouls were devouring their souls . Their bodies were trembling intensely, and they lost any ability to fight .

The Corrupt disciples weren’t affected in the same manner . Instead, under the influence of that Spiritual Strength, they became even more savage, crazily a.s.saulting the Righteous disciples .
