Chapter 125: Fighting for Treasure: Fierce Battle Between Giants

Chu Chaoyun knew what he was thinking; he said, “I arrived not much earlier than you. If I moved the coffin lid, you would have heard something.”

Suddenly, Duanmu Qing walked to the coffin lid, which had landed on the ground. The golden coffin lid was densely covered with words from the Ancient Era.

She quickly took out paper and brush, recording every bit of it. This was the Martial Technique of a Sage. Although she did not know what it was, it was likely to be extraordinary.

“Bang!”

Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Xiao Chen and his group jumped onto the stone platform from the final stone step. When they arrived on the stone platform, the barrier that had been protecting them broke apart, disappearing into nothing.

The fatty was the first to feel that something was wrong, “Damn it, we cannot circulate our energies or use our Martial Spirit here.”

Xiao Chen gave it a try, and it was indeed as the fatty said. The Martial Spirit in the Dantian region seemed to be restricted. Regardless of what he did, he was unable to elicit a response. It was also impossible for him to circulate his Essence.

Ji Changkong looked at Xiao Chen with a cold glare. He leaped into the air and sent a punch at Xiao Chen without saying anything.

Xiao Chen was stunned at first, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold smile after that. It was obvious that the people here were unable to use Essence. With Xiao Chen’s physical strength, he was unrivaled on this stone platform.

“Boom!”

Xiao Chen quickly welcomed him with a punch. When the two fists clashed, there was a crunching sound. Ji Changkong’s five fingers of his right hand were broken.

Ji Changkong took five steps back. He looked at the wound on his hand with disbelief. The fingers were linked to the heart; he felt an intense pain, and his face spasmed.

[TL note: The fingers were linked to the heart; this is a Traditional Chinese Medicine concept. Each of the fingers are linked to our internal organs and can affect them.]

The Guiyi Marquis grabbed hold of his golden long spear when he saw Xiao Chen come up. He swept the Hua Clan’s people aside with his spear and rushed at Xiao Chen. In the blink of an eye he arrived before Xiao Chen.

“Hu! Hu! Hu!”

A series of spear stabs burst out before Xiao Chen’s eyes, like a flower. The Guiyi Marquis was very good with the spear, even without the support of Essence, so the spear stabs were still as tightly packed together as they were before.

Xiao Chen took two steps back and the Guiyi Marquis followed. The long spear stuck to Xiao Chen closely, like gum. No matter how much he evaded, he was unable to completely avoid the attacks.

“Pu!” Xiao Chen’s feet landed on empty air; he had already retreated to the edge of the stone platform. If he took another step back he would be forced off the stone platform.

Considering the special characteristics of the stone platform, if Xiao Chen fell off, he would definitely die. The Guiyi Marquis increased his efforts to do so. He pushed his right hand forward and sent the long spear at Xiao Chen’s chest violently.

“Pu Ci!”

Suddenly the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in Xiao Chen’s hands. Xiao Chen deflected the spear with a gentle move. Because the Guiyi Marquis had used all his strength in this strike, he ended up taking a step forward. The saber blade slid down the handle of the spear.

Soon, the saber blade reached the Guiyi Marquis’ right hand. He quickly let go, and the golden long spear dropped to the ground.

Inclined Body Strike!

Xiao Chen inclined his body and charged forward. The strength of his physical body all gathered in his right shoulder. His body, tempered by the heavenly Thunder and Seven Leaf Flower petals, immediately exploded forth with a horrifying strength.

The Guiyi Marquis was knocked flying with a bang. He vomited a mouthful of blood while in midair. When he fell to the ground, he kept rolling, and he almost fell off the stone platform.

“Attack together; this fellow’s physical body is too horrifying!” Hua Yunfei shouted loudly when he saw the Guiyi Marquis being defeated in an instant. He could not help but feel some fear.

These cultivators relied too much on Essence; although their physical bodies were tempered and were far stronger than regular people, it was incomparable to Xiao Chen’s.

“Bang!”

Xiao Chen put away his saber and used his fist, as he rushed at the Ji Clan cultivators in front of him. Once they were knocked to the ground, they could no longer get up, and some of their ribs were even broken.

Xiao Chen shouted out loudly; he was like a wolf amongst sheep. He used a simple fist technique he had learned in the past, its movements very simple and plain, but it was quite fierce and intense. When matched with the horrifying strength of his physical body, there were none who could defend against him.

Xiao Chen looked at Hua Yunfei. Amidst the crowd, Hua Yunfei was startled, and he quickly retreated backward. Xiao Chen smiled coldly, “Let’s see where you can run!”

Xiao Chen pushed his feet on the ground and leaped into the air. He swept his right leg across horizontally and kicked Hua Yunfei’s head.

“Pu Ci!” Hua Yunfei spat out bloody spit and some teeth. When he landed on the ground, he immediately fainted.

Xiao Chen landed lightly on the ground. Before he landed, he had sent out a few kicks with shockingly fast speed. There were many miserable cries, and those who were stuck fell to the ground.

After some time, aside from Xiao Chen’s group of three and Chu Chaoyun, everyone laid on the ground, moaning in pain as they looked at Xiao Chen in horror.
