"You!"

The Grandmaster who was being attacked looked at his killer, still not fully reacting. His face was filled with confusion and, finally, he collapsed powerlessly.

"Someone murders and steals treasures right in front of you, and you still don't cultivate a sense of vigilance, you also deserve to die!" said the murderous Grandmaster as he pulled out his longsword, speaking coldly to the corpse at his feet.

"Quite ruthless!" remarked the Grandmaster holding the large blade gravely.

"Aren't you the same?" the man laughed.

"Shall we open the treasure chest and divide the treasures inside evenly?" the blade-wielding Grandmaster proposed.

"Haha, we are indeed of the same breed!" the later Grandmaster laughed wildly. "There's only one treasure chest, so there can only be one survivor!"

"Huh!"

A sound of cutting through the air rang out. The Grandmaster with the blade wasted no further words and slashed fiercely at the other man.

"Hmph, we are both at the Grandmaster Peak, but you just expended more than I did, you simply can't beat me!" the Grandmaster with the sword shouted continuously.

"Even if my expenditure is greater than yours, my fighting style is reckless, your momentum is inferior to mine!"

The Grandmaster roared, his longsword falling continuously, with the force of a galaxy cascading.

"No!"

Ultimately, the Grandmaster wielding the sword roared angrily as the other Grandmaster cleaved through his chest with a single strike.

The Grandmaster with the blade stood tall, his chest heaving. Having slaughtered his comrade, he finally obtained the treasure chest.

"Haha, this treasure belongs to me now!" The more he thought about it, the happier he became, eventually bursting into laughter.

"Huh!"

While he was reveling in victory, a sound of the air being rent arrived, and a formidable figure descended from the sky, who without saying a word, immediately lunged at the Grandmaster with the blade.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

This man had been slaughtering his comrades, capturing the treasure chest for himself, little did he know, in the end, a powerful challenger would emerge to seize the treasured fortune he fought so hard for!

"What!"

The newcomer's terrifying presence alarmed the Grandmaster with the blade, who then instantly turned to flee, harboring not the slightest thought of engaging in battle.

He had just fought a fierce battle with a ferocious beast, and his True Qi was almost depleted. Furthermore, he had sustained some injuries from the infighting among themselves.

Now that a fierce figure had arrived, he had no intention of battling and only hoped to manage an escape.

However, this towering figure was so fast that even as the Grandmaster fled desperately, he was quickly caught up with.

"Damn it, you want my treasure, I want your life!"

This Peak Grandmaster, holding his longsword, flashed a glint of ferocity in his eyes and, disregarding the man's punch, turned around and viciously chopped at the man's head, fighting as if his life depended on it.

"Bang!"

The Grandmaster's sword struck the man's head, making a sound like a blade striking stone, as if the man's head was indestructible and took no damage.

"What!"

The Grandmaster, expecting his blade to chop off the enemy's head, felt a shock reverberating through his arms as if he had struck iron, numbing his palm.

"Boom!"

A solid thump was heard, and the Grandmaster with the blade met a heroic end, his head blown apart by the man's punch.

After killing this Grandmaster, the towering figure stood in silence as Ruolan Fang and Ye Chen appeared from afar.

"Fang, why are you so violent?" Ye Chen said, holding the headless corpse.

"I learned it all from you, don't forget you once whipped me with an electric cable!" Ruolan Fang said coldly.

"Women just love to hold grudges!"

"..."

"This man, in his pursuit of the treasure, mercilessly slaughtered his teammates, indeed a ruthless character!"

"In the end, had it not been for our sudden intervention, this person would have almost become the ultimate winner of life!"

Ye Chen sighed, he and Fang Ruolan laid hidden in the dark, observing everything clearly.

Desire for treasures sways the heart, these Grandmasters, in pursuit of treasures, even cast aside their own lives.

"This person was killed by you, the chest belongs to you now," Ye Chen said.

"I don't want it, it's dirty!"

The chest was covered with bloodstains, which greatly disgusted Fang.

"If you don't want this chest, I can't just throw it away either, after all, it was obtained with the lives of several Grandmasters."

Ye Chen didn't mind the bloodstains and held the chest in his hands, examining it closely.

"The air here is thick with blood, and a battle has erupted recently. Let's leave this place first!"

Eventually, Ye Chen decided they should leave the area first, fearing that it might attract some formidable characters, or terrifying beasts.

...

Upon a huge rock, a fire was lit, and after cleaning the chest, Ye Chen began studying it intensely since he was unable to open it.

"The chest still won't open?" Fang Ruolan asked.

"Hmm, having the chest but not being able to open it is indeed a headache," Ye Chen scratched his head.

"Then what should we do?" Fang Ruolan asked.

"I don't know, there's no visible lock nor a hidden one on the chest. The person who made this chest doesn't seem to have wanted it to be opened!" Ye Chen said.

"Maybe, you should smash the chest open?" Fang Ruolan suddenly suggested.

"I had the same idea, didn't expect you to beat me to saying it. Do you think this is what they call 'great minds think alike'?"

"..."

Fang Ruolan blushed, Fang thought Ye Chen was expressing his feelings for her.

"Since there's no keyhole or anything, and I can't pry it open, breaking it is the only option!"

Ye Chen took a deep breath, channeling all his strength into his arms, lifting the chest and violently smashing it onto a rock.

"Bang!"

Ye Chen's strength was enormous, wielding the power of tens of thousands of pounds, even the extremely hard materials of the chest turned into splinters with one smash.

"This!" Ye Chen was moved when he saw what was inside the chest.

"Can it be?" Fang Ruolan was also shocked.

The chest shattered, revealing not any miraculous medicines, rare treasures, or valuable luminous pearls, but only a cloth bag.

"Is that Grandmaster joking by placing a small cloth bag inside and calling it a treasure?" Ye Chen swallowed hard.

Ye Chen, still harboring a glimmer of hope, picked up the cloth bag and observed it carefully, only to find nothing extraordinary.

An utterly mundane cloth bag, which infuriated Ye Chen. His face contorted grotesquely as he threw the bag far away.

Ye Chen felt extremely frustrated, even more for the Grandmasters who had died; that so many would die over a mundane cloth bag was appalling.

"..."

Fang Ruolan was speechless. Could it be that the Grandmaster, having lived over a thousand years, was just bored and developed a twisted sense of humor, delighting in fooling others?

"Hmm, there's still a piece of parchment!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, noticing there was still something inside the box.

"Qiankun Bag, holds all things, use True Qi to probe, senses the universe, retrieves or places items!"

"Qiankun Bag, the unique supreme treasure of the Free Heavenly Realm, also a treasure that stabilizes the heavens!"

Ye Chen read each word slowly, then took a long time to understand the literal meaning.

"A treasure that stabilizes the heavens?"

Ye Chen's eyelids twitched; had he carelessly thrown away that Qiankun Bag?

"Where's the bag, my Qiankun Bag, where did I throw it?" Ye Chen's eyes reddened in panic.
