Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Golden Garb Corpse

“The treasures in that cave belong to me, you mustn’t touch them!”
Liushui Wuhen recovered his senses, his complexion darkening as he bellowed, immediately ready to charge toward the cave.
“Roar~”
Seeing this, the five mixed-blood Taotie once again showed their ferocity, crouching low, clearly indicating that if Liushui Wuhen dared to come over, they would attack without hesitation.
“Let’s strike together!”
Duanmu Ci also spoke, but this time it wasn’t a question, it was very definitive.
After all, they were the descendants of the Super Powers, with monstrous talents and courage to match their skills; they absolutely could not just watch helplessly as someone from the Dragon Vein Realm walked away with the treasure right in front of them.
“Swish swish swish!”
Figures charged out, and their glaring attacks illuminated the entrance of the cave.
The five mixed-blood Taotie also roared as they burst out, their figures seemingly growing larger at this moment, their presence even more imposing.
“Not good!”
An elder protecting Liushui Wuhen’s face changed color as he yelled, “These five mixed-blood Taotie have evolved!”
No need for him to point it out, the others could feel it too.
If previously these five mixed-blood Taotie only possessed the cultivation base of the Dragon God Realm Early Stage, then at this moment, they definitely had the strength of the Dragon God Realm Mid Stage!
While it was only a Minor Realm difference, the gap was extremely vast.
The Mid Stage of the Dragon God Realm could easily crush the Early Stage, unless one was a freak like Su Han.
“How is this possible?!”
Liushui Wuhen clenched his teeth, “They evolved to the Mid Stage of the Dragon God Realm? And all five at the same time!”
“Could it be related to that guy who just went in?” a young man from a Second-Rate Sect spoke up.
“Nonsense!”
Liushui Wuhen sternly rebuked, “A mere Dragon Vein Realm being able to make five mixed-blood Taotie evolve directly from the Dragon God Realm Early Stage to the Mid Stage? Are you out of your mind?”
The young man fell silent, but deep down, he faintly felt that the evolution of the five mixed-blood Taotie was related to that man in white.
In fact, that was exactly the case.
The original cultivation base of the five mixed-blood Taotie was nothing short of terrifying.
The original Hanlin Ancient Kingdom had a Divine Spirit King in command, with countless masters under his banner.
Yet, they had roamed for tens of thousands of years, feeding on the essence blood of countless people, causing great headaches for the King of Hanlin Ancient Kingdom, who wanted to pursue and kill them but had never been able to.
It was Su Han who took action, suppressing them with a single palm and immediately sealing their cultivation base, confining them here.
However, with Su Han’s current cultivation base, he was not yet able to completely undo their seals. The palm he had placed on their heads was to unlock a sliver of their binding.
It was this sliver that allowed their strength to directly advance from the Early Stage of the Dragon God Realm to the Mid Stage.
Obviously, for Liushui Wuhen and the others, this was a preposterous turn of events, so unbelievable that even if they were killed, they wouldn’t accept it.
“Regardless, we cannot let a mere Dragon Vein Realm practitioner get the treasures inside the cave!”
Liushui Wuhen snorted coldly, “The caves within the first Light Barrier have almost all been explored. It took us great effort to find this one, guarded by five Taotie capable of evolution, so the treasures inside must be extremely precious. What use would they be in the hands of a Dragon Vein Realm practitioner?”
Duanmu Ci nodded in agreement. People like them could turn against good friends for the sake of treasure.
“Old Hai, the two of you protect me—I’m entering the cave!”
Liushui Wuhen glanced at the two elders and dashed out without another word.
Duanmu Ci flicked his fingers, and his longsword danced, streaking with radiance as he launched an assault on the five Taotie.
The others, of course, did not hesitate; if they could obtain the Supreme Treasure, they would soar to the skies, and with the treasure in hand, not even Liushui Wuhen and Duanmu Ci would be able to do anything to them.
“Boom boom boom~”
“`
Astonishing booms kept emanating from outside the cave, marking the beginning of the fierce battle between the crowd and the Taotie.
“Let’s go.”
Only Ling Xiao remained silent, slowly retreating.
“Young Master, the treasures inside that cave…” An old woman beside him couldn’t help but show her reluctance.
Ling Xiao said, “This place is full of mysteries, and the methods of that Liang Family young master are inscrutable. Instead of wasting time here, it’s better to look for treasures elsewhere.”
“Yes.”
The old woman nodded slightly and proceeded to leave the area, protecting Ling Xiao.
…
At this moment, inside the deeper part of the cave, Su Han was looking at the piles of bones in front of him, shaking his head with a sigh.
Clearly, these skeletons belonged to those who had paid a great price to defeat the Taotie before entering the cave.
But once they were in, they never came out again.
“To get out, one must thoroughly understand the Thunder Curtain. Do people from the Dragon Martial Continent only rely on brute force?” Su Han spoke softly.
The Thunder Curtain he had created years ago with his Cultivation Base was not something that could be shattered simply by brute strength, was it?
That was just a fraction of it.
Actually, compared to the Dao Charm within the Thunder Curtain, the treasures in this cave truly weren’t much.
In every cave, Su Han had left behind a Light Barrier, or a Thunder Curtain, or even a Flame Curtain, a Spiritual Veil.
These were the most basic Laws of Five Elements.
Su Han’s original intention was to imprint the Dao Charm onto the Thunder Curtain, allowing those who came after to comprehend it and thereby receive a monumental fortune.
Unfortunately, the intelligence of people in the Dragon Martial Continent was too low; they only cared about the treasures.
In front of Su Han, apart from the piles of bones, there was also a stone dais.
A figure in Golden Garb sat atop the dais. Though the flesh on the figure had withered, it hadn’t turned into bones but sat there intact, with a hint of golden light radiating from the body, resembling a Divine Buddha.
Before this Golden Garb figure lay a Jade Bottle, containing three pills showing a fiery red color, seemingly no different from ordinary pills.
Only Su Han knew that these were Fire Dragon Pills.
The Fire Dragon Pill was not meant to increase Cultivation Base; rather, it was used for attacking.
Depending on the user’s Cultivation Base, the Attack Power of the Fire Dragon Pill varied.
“So many years have passed, have you… also died?”
Looking at the golden figure, Su Han felt a tinge of sorrow in his heart.
This person had once offended Su Han and even killed some of his subordinates, but Su Han appreciated his potential and wanted to recruit him into the God-Slaying Pavilion, which he had always refused.
Eventually captured by Su Han, he was imprisoned here.
According to Su Han’s plan, he intended to confine this person here for a while, to be released when he changed his mind.
In the end, however, there was no such acquiescence.
Time truly is the most intangible assassin. This person’s strength was immensely formidable back then, but after tens of millions of years, he had passed away, presumably while meditating.
“In the past life, you refused me countless times; this time, you have no way to refuse.”
With a wave of his hand, Su Han collected both the Golden Garb Corpse and the Fire Dragon Pills into his Space Ring.
He planned to give the corpse to Lian Yuze for the future battles of the God-Slaying Pavilion.
This was also Su Han’s forceful way of making this person join the God-Slaying Pavilion.
