With a mustache, the man held a mortar in his hand and then handed a pestle to Ethan Smith.
He waved his hand and said, âLetâs go, we can set off now!â
Ethan couldnât wait any longer, so he followed the man with the mustache and strode forward.
After a few steps, the man with the mustache took out a shiny golden plate.
This plate was also engraved with densely patterned characters, looking extremely weird and magical.
Ethan asked in confusion, âWhat is this?â
With a delighted expression, the man with the mustache said, âThis is a divine artifact specially used for archaeological exploration. Without it, I wouldnât have obtained so many treasures.â
âAn archaeological divine artifact?â Ethan scratched his head.
âWhere did you get it from?â
The man with the mustache proudly said, âI made it myself. I named it the Divine Plate.â
âYou made it yourself?â
This surprised Ethan.
This mustachioed man was indeed not as simple as he appeared!
âWell, no more talking. Letâs go and stay close to me,â the man with the mustache said.
Ethan knew that this man was an expert in this field and did not dare to ask more questions, so he followed behind him.
The man with the mustache held the mortar in one hand and the Divine Plate in the other.
His pace was very slow, looking down at the Divine Plate in his hand with each step
Densely engraved characters on the Divine Plate seemed to represent different directions.
After walking a few hundred steps, one of the characters on the Divine Plate suddenly flashed a bright light.
âThereâs really a treasure here!â The mustached manâs eyes suddenly lit up!
He looked in the direction indicated by the Divine Plate and dragged Ethan along as he hurried forward.
The light on the character grew brighter and brighter, and when they reached a stone tablet, the man with the mustache stopped.
âAccording to the direction indicated on the Divine Plate, itâs right here,â the man with the mustache said gravely.
Ethan took a glance and found that besides the stone tablet, there was nothing in the surroundings.
The stone tablet did not look like it was deliberately placed here, but rather like a remnant accidentally formed by rubble sticking out of the ground.
The man with the mustache looked around, sniffed the ground, then ran over to the stone tablet and examined it carefully.
âBreak this stone tablet,â the man with the mustache said.
Ethan nodded, and immediately threw a punch at the tablet, which promptly shattered.
After breaking the stone tablet, there was no change at the scene, and no treasures appeared.
âNot here.â The man with the mustache furrowed his brows.
He again carefully examined the ground and then pulled out some tools, drawing some symbols on the ground in multiple places.
After a long while of being busy, still no treasures appeared.
âStrange,â the mustachioed man stroked his mustache with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Ethan couldnât help but ask, âIs your Divine Plate really reliable?â
The man with the mustache glared at Ethan and said, âYouâre doubting my expertise! This Divine Plate has never been wrong before!â
Afterward, the man with the mustache took out a piece of paper from his pocket, started drawing on the ground.
A few minutes later, the man with the mustache bit his finger and took out a lump of powdery substance similar to ash, then sprinkled it on the paper.
âOm!â
The instant the ash fell, it turned into fire!
This blue fire was scattered in nine separate clusters.
The man with the mustache stared at the several fires, and a few seconds later, his face suddenly changed.
âDarn it!â The man with the mustacheâs face turned deathly pale, and the next second, he directly hid behind Ethan!
âWhatâs wrong?â Ethan asked in confusion.
In a low voice, the man with the mustache said, âBased on my experience, this is a sign of a corpse transformation!â
âCorpse transformation?â
Ethan couldnât help but feel like laughing.
âNow Iâm starting to doubt your abilities,â Ethan said with a helpless shake of his head.
However, before he could say anything else, Ethan suddenly felt a chill from behind!
Turning around, he saw a headless brawny man throw a punch at him!
âBoom!â
The force of the punch was immense, and even Ethan was blown away and had a bloody nose!
Ethan got up from the ground, looked at the headless brawny man in front of him, and exclaimed in shock, âWhat the hell is this thing?â
The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, âI told you, this is the scene of a corpse transformation. Donât forget where we are! This is the Immortal Slaying Sect!â
âMembers of Immortal Slaying Sect are all mighty realm cultivators, and even if they die, their bodies might become inhabited by living beings.â
Looking at the headless brawny man in front, Ethan said cautiously, âSo⦠this personâs body might very likely be that of a mighty realm cultivator?â
âThatâs right.â The man with the mustache nodded slightly.
âThe technique I just used was for summoning treasures, but it might also summon such things.â The man with the mustache said very seriously.
Ethanâs brows furrowed.
A mighty realm cultivatorâs body? Just how strong would that be?
âWhat should we do now?â Ethan asked warily as he retreated.
The man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, âWhat else can we do? Of course, itâs up to you now. The Master doesnât handle these matters of fighting.â
Before Ethan could even speak, the headless brawny man charged toward him!
Although his speed was extremely fast, his body was even more incredibly powerful, almost shattering the Void!
Ethan didnât dare to underestimate him, and hurriedly activated the Saintly Body Skill to protect himself, then threw a punch.
âBoom!â
A wave of air suddenly exploded between the two of them!
This wave of air directly sent the man with the mustache flying, and the impact on Ethan was even more severe. His entire body flew back nearly a hundred meters, while his hand bones were fractured!
âSuch a strong body!â Ethanâs face changed dramatically!
No wonder it was a mighty realm cultivatorâs body, even after so many years, it was still so powerful!
Ethan was known to have the strongest physique, the chaotic body!
If other Marquises were hit by this punch, their bodies would probably shatter directly!
âMy friend, itâs all up to you now. The Master believes in you,â the man with the mustache said cheerfully as he retreated several hundred meters away.
Ethan didnât dare to underestimate him, warily watching the headless brawny man in front of him.
He adjusted his breath to his best state, and his iron fists sparkled with Golden Light.
âA body without a soul can only fight using the body,â Ethan thought silently.
âSoâ¦I still have a chance to win!â
As he finished speaking, Ethan muttered incantations in his mouth, and a golden light condensed on his fist.
At that moment, the headless brawny man had already lunged at Ethan!
Although he had lost his soul, his speed was still extremely fast with just his body!
âCome on, let me see just how strong a mighty realm cultivatorâs body really is!â Ethan shouted angrily, then attacked with both fists!
A dazzling golden light immediately rushed toward the headless brawny man!
