Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Jade Corpse Ginseng

The Tomb Raiders shuddered at the sight of the ginseng in front of them.

Having roamed the Jianghu for many years, they considered themselves well-versed, yet they had never encountered such a phenomenon.

Ginseng growing out from a corpse?

Surely, this was too bizarre!

At that moment, Tang Ying, her beautiful face could hardly contain her excitement, was looking at the ginseng before her.

"Jade Corpse Ginseng! So, it really does exist!"

It was three years ago when Tang Ying first read about the Jade Corpse Ginseng in an ancient medicine book; since then, she had become obsessed with this extraordinary item.

The Jade Corpse Ginseng is cultivated by planting a ginseng seed inside a person’s navel at the point of their impending death, taking advantage of the special microbial environment inside the human body to nourish the seed.

However, successfully growing Jade Corpse Ginseng is not so simple. The timing of the ginseng seed’s germination and the person’s death must coincide perfectly, similar to the process of growing cordyceps, but much more complex.

Because cordyceps use mere insects, whereas Jade Corpse Ginseng uses living people!

That ancient medicine book stated that Jade Corpse Ginseng flowers annually, bears fruit in ten years, and becomes sentient after a hundred years!

It’s said that mature Jade Corpse Ginseng can not only revive the dead but also cure terminal illnesses in the living!

That’s exactly why Tang Ying was so persistent about the Jade Corpse Ginseng, hoping to use it to treat her father’s disease.

Three years!

She had been searching for it for three years! Today, she had finally found it!

Overcome with excitement, Tang Ying, without any hesitation, reached out to dig up the Jade Corpse Ginseng.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"If you don’t want to die, you’d best not touch it!"

As the voice fell, Chen Xuan walked in.

The crowd was surprised. When they had entered, they had knocked out all the security guards on the construction site, not expecting an outsider to suddenly intrude!

Whirrrr!

All the guns were instantly aimed at Chen Xuan, tense as drawn bows, ready to shoot him dead at any moment!

Tang Ying was startled by Chen Xuan’s voice as well.

But the next moment, when she saw the attire of the man in front of her, she let out a sigh of relief.

The man’s appearance was so ordinary that Tang Ying instinctively took him for a construction worker on the site.

"Shi Qiang, how could you be so careless!" Tang Ying scolded one of her subordinates.

Shi Qiang wore an apologetic face, "We’d confirmed that there were no other people on the site. I don’t know how this one got through... I’m sorry, Miss Tang, it was our oversight!"

Tang Ying, impatient, scolded Chen Xuan, "I warn you not to meddle here. Get lost now!"

Chen Xuan remained calm, "I had no intention of meddling; I just didn’t want to see you courting death!"

"Courting death?" Tang Ying scoffed and drew her gun, pointing it directly at Chen Xuan, "It seems to me that you are the one looking for death!"

"I prefer not to kill needlessly, but if you insist on ruining my plans, I won’t hesitate to send you to the afterlife!"

Chen Xuan sighed, "If you don’t listen to me, it could be you heading to the afterlife!"

Hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Shi Qiang completely lost his patience.

These gunmen were Shi Qiang’s subordinates, mercenaries hired by Tang Ying for a hefty sum.

This man, having caused Shi Qiang to be scolded by Tang Ying and now daring to be so arrogant, was clearly asking for death.

"Kid, you really think we won’t dare kill you? Spout another word of nonsense, and I’ll end you right now!"

As Shi Qiang spoke, he indeed moved to pull the trigger, but Tang Ying stopped him.

"Never mind him; let’s have someone harvest the ginseng!"

Shi Qiang cast a vicious glance at Chen Xuan, then signaled to one of his subordinates with a nod.

Without any more words, the subordinate reached into the coffin.

Chen Xuan exclaimed, "Don’t touch it!"

The subordinate scoffed, completely disregarding Chen Xuan’s words, and grabbed the leaves of the Jade Corpse Ginseng, attempting to pull it out from the corpse.

However, the next moment, something astonishing happened.

Just as the burly man grasped the leaves of the Jade Corpse Ginseng, an iron-vice-like hand suddenly caught his wrist.

The burly man looked up sharply, breaking out in a cold sweat on the spot.

That hand was pallid and icy cold, coming from the corpse of King Chen himself!

"Mama Mia..." the burly man cried out in horror.

But he hadn’t even finished his sentence.

Splat!

A sharp, bloodied hand pierced directly through his heart, killing him instantly!

This scene unfolded in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone petrified with fear, unable to react for a long while.

It took a good while before the Tomb Raiders finally came to their senses.

"It’s... it’s reanimated! Run!!"

The Tomb Raiders bolted toward the cave entrance like madmen.

However, before they could get close, they saw the Jade Corpse Ginseng suddenly stand up, casually swinging its arm and sending the several-ton heavy coffin lid flying towards the cave entrance.

Boom!

The heavy coffin lid crushed two of the Tomb Raiders into a pulp, then landed with a thud over the entrance.

It was sealing the entire burial chamber, intent on not letting anyone out alive!

Shi Qiang was also terrified; in all his time in this line of work, he’d never encountered anything like this.

Fortunately, he remained calm and immediately ordered, "Fire, kill that thing for me!"

At his command, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Countless bullets rained down on the Jade Corpse Ginseng like a torrential downpour.

But to everyone’s surprise, the bullets seemed to have no effect whatsoever on the Jade Corpse Ginseng!

On the contrary, the Jade Corpse Ginseng became completely enraged by the bullets.

With one step forward, it entered the crowd and, in an instant, three gunmen were slashed to death under its claws.

The other gunmen were petrified with fear and scrambled towards the entrance.

Tang Ying had not expected the Jade Corpse Ginseng to be so formidable.

"Master Cao, it’s time for you to make a move!" Tang Ying exclaimed.

"Miss Tang, rest assured, I’ll take that bastard’s head for you right now!"

Cao Feijia said with a face full of composure and calmness, clearly not taking the Jade Corpse Ginseng seriously.

Chen Xuan said kindly, "You’re no match for that thing; let me handle it!"

Cao Feijia’s expression instantly turned ugly.

He was a grandmaster whose name resonated throughout Jinmen. In Jinmen, everyone treated him with the utmost respect.

Yet this kid from a construction site dared to belittle him so, which was a great insult to his strength!

"Who do you think you are to meddle in my affairs!"

"Today, I will let you witness the true power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

With that, Cao Feijia stepped forward and charged directly at the Jade Corpse Ginseng.

Thump!

He threw a punch that landed squarely on the back of the Jade Corpse Ginseng, sending it tumbling to the ground, motionless.

"Is it dead?!" Tang Ying exclaimed with joy.

The others also looked elated.

Cao Feijia wore an arrogant smile as he looked at Chen Xuan, "How about it, still think I..."

The next moment, Cao Feijia’s smile froze on his face.

In the chilling silence of the tomb chamber, a series of crackling bone sounds echoed.

The head of the Jade Corpse Ginseng on the ground twisted in a grotesque manner by a hundred and eighty degrees, its blank white eyeballs staring straight at Cao Feijia!
