Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Chapter 511: Dragon Vein!

Soren Taylor’s aura was surging, and he seemed ready to take action!

Emerson Holmes, standing beside him, stepped in front of him and said solemnly, “Even though this Ethan Smith is rather annoying, I have to admit that he is also a genius among the younger generation. We cannot treat him like an ordinary half-step Martial Marquis.”

“Geniuses are meant to be stepped on!” Soren Taylor shouted.

“Anything Ethan Smith can do, I, Soren Taylor, can do the same!”

“Well said!” Ethan Smith took a step forward, his aura suddenly bursting forth.

He stared coldly at Soren Taylor and said, “If you want to make a move, go ahead.”

“Don’t think I’m afraid of you!” Soren Taylor shouted angrily. But just as he was about to take action, Emerson Holmes quickly stood in front of him and forcefully took the blow with his physical strength.

Soren Taylor’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and said, “Chairman Holmes, what’s the meaning of this?”

Emerson Holmes coldly replied, “Since the Martial Arts Association entrusted you to me, you have to listen to me!”

“I order you not to attack anyone!”

A hint of unwillingness flashed across Soren Taylor’s face.

He glanced at Ethan Smith and snorted coldly, “You’re lucky!”

Ethan Smith found the situation slightly amusing.

It was apparent that Soren Taylor was like a flower in a greenhouse, untouched by the harshness of the world.

With the talent he possessed and his background from an aristocratic family, it was only natural for him to develop a haughty disposition.

However, it was a pity because with his lack of combat experience, how could he be a match for Ethan Smith?

Of course, this was just a minor episode, and Ethan Smith didn’t take it to heart.

He glanced at the mountain range and said solemnly, “It’s about time for us to enter these Dragon Veins and have a look.”

After long observation, no one found any anomalies.

Subsequently, Ethan Smith took the lead and stepped toward the mountain range.

Emerson Holmes coldly watched Ethan’s departing figure and sneered, “Since you’re looking for death, I’ll send you on your way today!”

After saying this, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go.”

The group marched mightily toward the mountain range.

The winding and twisting mountain range stretched far into the distance, seemingly endless.

After entering the mountain range, Ethan Smith still could not feel any qi.

“Hmm, it’s just as I thought, just as I thought.” The man with the mustache muttered non-stop.

Ethan glanced at him and said, “What exactly did you find?”

The mustached man quickly raised his hands and said, “Nothing, I’m just talking nonsense.”

After leaving these words behind, the man with the mustache scurried away.

Ethan continued forward.

On the mountain, there were rustling trees, but their growth conditions were rather poor, totally different from the records of the Dragon Veins.

Looking at the surroundings, Ethan even suspected that he had been deceived.

Not far away, Emerson Holmes and the others were just as puzzled.

They scanned the area, but there was no trace of any Dharma Treasure to be found.

“Could it be that the information this time is erroneous?” Emerson Holmes frowned deeply, seeming a bit at a loss for a moment.

He took out a map from his pocket.

The location marked on the map was precisely here.

Besides, relevant information was also recorded on the map.

“President Holmes, if it’s really the Dragon Vein, the environment around here wouldn’t be like this,” Soren Taylor spoke solemnly.

Emerson Holmes nodded slightly and said, “But this information was handed down from above, it can’t be wrong.”

“Let’s keep looking,” Emerson Holmes suggested.

With that, the group continued to move forward.

Both parties walked the same path, separated only by a short distance, but neither disturbed the other.

This mountain range was incredibly long, stretching on for miles without any sign of an end.

Moreover, Ethan could hardly feel any qi at all.

“Hm? What’s this?”

At that moment, Ethan suddenly noticed a stone tablet standing upright in front of him.

On the stone tablet, there were rows of words that were not very big, but they were very clear and legible.

Even though the tablet had weathered storms, it was still perfectly intact.

Ethan bent down, prepared to read the words on the stone tablet carefully.

Just then, Emerson Holmes and the others quickly caught up!

“It’s right here, just like the records!” Emerson Holmes was slightly excited.

“Chairman Holmes, what do you mean?” Soren Taylor and the others asked eagerly.

Emerson Holmes sneered, “According to the information handed down, the treasure is hidden under a stone tablet. As long as we open it, we can naturally see the treasure.”

Hearing those words, Ethan’s eyes narrowed.

Could it be that the five thousand-year-old medicinal herbs were hidden beneath this stone tablet?

The rows of words on the stone tablet mainly recorded a history of cultivation.

“Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Emergence Stage, Splitting Stage, Merging Stage, Dacheng, Tribulation Stage…”

Ethan Smith silently recited these stages, frowning slightly.

Weren’t these the levels of his own cultivation?

It was said that Tribulation Stage cultivators were real immortals who had transcended the mortal world.

However, in present society, no one had ever seen a cultivator in the Tribulation Stage; all the records were just legends.

A Martial Marquis, which was equivalent to the Golden Core Stage, could already be considered invincible in the world.

As for the pinnacle of present society, it was probably the Nascent Soul Stage, also known as the Martial Saint in the world of martial arts.

“Move aside.”

As Ethan studied the tablet, Soren Taylor strode forward.

Emerson Holmes and the others followed closely behind.

Ethan glanced at Soren Taylor and said, “What if I don’t?”

Soren Taylor shouted, “Then I’ll kill you!”

“Oh?” Ethan Smith’s eyes narrowed.

He slowly rose to his feet, coldly staring at Soren Taylor.

Just as tensions were about to escalate, Emerson Holmes quickly stepped forward.

“Ethan Smith, don’t you want to see what treasure is hidden underneath this?” Emerson Holmes said coldly.

Ethan glanced at Emerson Holmes and snorted, “Fine, let’s see what’s hidden under this.”

The main purpose of this trip was to obtain the five-thousand-year-old herbs to help him officially step into becoming a half-step Martial Marquis.

Thus, Ethan was not in the mood to bicker with Soren Taylor.

Emerson Holmes strode forward, flipping his palm, and several magical artifacts appeared in his hand.

These artifacts exuded an aura of majesty that made one want to bow in reverence upon seeing them.

“Eight Martial Marquis Weapons?” Seeing the magical tools in Emerson Holmes’ hand, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but be surprised.

As expected of the Capital City Martial Arts Association, they casually brought out eight Martial Marquis Weapons!

Such generosity could probably only be displayed by the Capital City Martial Arts Association.

Then, Emerson Holmes urged the eight Martial Marquis Weapons to descend onto the stone tablet.

“Boom!”

The moment they made contact, the stone tablet seemed to be subjected to tremendous force!

In just a short while, the stone tablet began to shatter! A huge pit appeared in front of everyone!

Seeing this huge pit, everyone’s eyes lit up!

Ethan Smith was even more excited!
