Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 163

The golden giant rose up within the desert, giving off imposing awe. Professor Xu and Qian Deshen couldn't imagine how it had appeared. It didn't seem feasible to construct such a colossal sculpture of a deity. It was possible to do it in this era by spending a lot of resources, but they couldn't comprehend how the people from several centuries ago did it.

They couldn't help but imagine the scene of the giant gold sculpture being bound by chains and pulled by many carts through bitter work.

"This is really marvelous!"

Professor Xu felt invigorated after seeing this. He considered it was a bit of consolation that he was able to see such a marvel before dying.

"This is indeed shocking."

Qian Deshen was also quite shocked, but it was a pity that they had lost the camera and the other equipment or else they could have taken pictures which would have caused a sensation in the entire world. It would have stirred up countless archaeologists, and this place would have become the homeland of archaeology where everyone would strive to pry into this golden giant's secret.

"This is gold, right?"

From its thickness, there was no doubt that it was cast using pure gold. Just a few pieces of it were enough to lead a luxurious life for a lifetime.

There were many legends of treasures hidden in the desert, and this was the reason there were so many desert adventurers, but most of the time, they couldn't find the location or are exhausted when they discovered them or those treasures are too heavy so they can only give up with a sigh.

Sand drizzled down from the golden deity's sculpture, and the golden radiance blended together with the sunlight, making it seem as if the light had turned into twinkling sand particles as they drizzled down.

"W-Wait!"

"I-It's moving!"

In the next moment, all of them were yet again stupefied, their minds wholly filled with utter shock. That giant golden deity's sculpture slowly lowered its head.

This was indeed astonishing. They were scared out of their wits.

"I-It's alive?"

The first thing which came into their minds was to escape from here, but it was as if their legs were locked onto the ground, making them unable to take a single step. They could only look at that golden giant as an instinctive response.

"I-It's coming over…"

The golden giant took a step forward similar to a human, causing the sand to ripple when its foot landed on the ground. It raised its foot again and took another step, covering the sky with drizzling sand with each of its sky-high steps.

"What should we do?"

That golden giant which was several hundred meters away from there reached before them in just two steps.

"E-Escape!"

They would no doubt get squashed into paste if it stepped on them.

By the time they remembered they had to escape, it was already too late. The golden giant took another step. Its appearance was the same as that of Gods in the legends. It exuded a golden aura, and its appearance was like a sculpture's. Its eyes seemed like that of Bodhisattva, and it appeared to be a dead object yet also a living one. That strange feeling was really quite shocking.

"Aaaaaahhhhh!"

The group screamed and used the last bit of the strength they had left to run away from this crisis.

Those who were slower got crushed under its feet directly, and those who had escaped a bit further were blown away by the sand tremor originating from the location the giant had landed its feet. It was as if a sea wave had crashed into them, pulling them along with its current.

"Fire! Fire at it!"

Someone shouted. Only then did Meng Fei and the others recall they had machine guns with them.

Du-Du-Du!!!

They raked the golden giant with gunfire. The bullets possessed a frightening penetrating force as well as speed. Only one of two things could happen. Either the bullets will pierce through it or they won't. After all, the sculpture appeared to be made of gold, so it seemed the chances of the bullets piercing it was less.

However, the outcome had exceeded everyone's imagination. When the bullets neared the golden giant, they stopped at a distance from it. It seemed as if the void was twisting around the golden giant's skin as if there was a light membrane around it. The bullets didn't even hit the golden giant.

"Hah?!"

A powerless feeling rose up in their hearts after seeing this.

Just what is it?

The power it revealed was inconceivable.

Du-Du-Du!!!

Meng Fei's group wasn't ready to believe it. They crazily fired at it while screaming, pressing the trigger rapidly, yet all those bullets couldn't penetrate that membrane. None of them had neared the golden giant.

Shock and despair filled their hearts.

The group shrieked all of a sudden. A few from Meng Fei's side also did the same. They saw the golden giant raise its foot as if it was about to kick. The area it covered was too large, and there was no place to hide. They flew back like a soccer ball due to the kick and fell a few meters far away, dropping down on the sand.

It was difficult to determine whether they were dead or alive.

"Elder Brother Mu Sen, what should we do?"

"Attack!"

Mu Sen stepped on the camel's hump and soared up to the skies like a legendary roc spreading its wings. He rose up 4-5 m high above and stood in the air.

He moved his hands as if he were controlling some kind of power. The sand gathered up behind him, and as his palms slowly pushed forwards, the sand got pulled along due to his ability and rushed forward along with a howling sound.

Aooooo!

Professor Xu and the others were utterly shocked. This wasn't a feat that humans could accomplish. It was just like those peak martial artists in novels. Only they could control sand like this. This fierce strength was akin to a raging dragon coming out from the ocean.

"This is Taiping Dao Scripture's Heaven and Earth Reversal Movement skill."

"To think that Elder Brother Mu Sen had actually succeeded in cultivating it."

The members of the Jin family were stunned as well."

"This move is akin to an Immortal Skill."

After escaping around 20 m away, they were all filled with excitation. This was a Demigod. No matter what the opponent was, since the Jin family's Demigod was here, there was still hope for this battle.

"Die!"

Mu Sen howled. All his strength erupted from his palms and caused the sandstorm to cry even more fiercely.

Boom!

That golden giant punched towards the sandstorm. That strength behind that fist caused energy ripples to form as it caused the stand storm to blow apart like a fountain and wither as if it has lost all its momentum.

"What?!"

Mu Sen was surprised. He didn't even have the time to react as the energy ripple slammed into him through the void, causing him to fly back like a broken kite while spouting blood and then fall down on the ground.

The sandstorm which had lost strength also died down.

"Elder Brother Mu Sen!"

A few of the Jin family members rushed forth and retrieved Mu Sen.

"Too strong."

Mu Sen's mouth was still filled with blood so he found it difficult to speak, "This person… might be a God."

He felt genuine fear when he said this. God was an existence which stood above ordinary humans. They couldn't resist such an existence. It was also his life-long pursuit to reach that stage.

"Let's all attack together!"

The tobacco smoking elder had a stubborn and fiery character. His heart felt a chill after seeing the situation, so he wished to bet their lives on it.

"D-Don't…"

Mu Sen grabbed the elder in fear, "We cannot resist a God. We can only bow and surrender."

Everyone had seen the golden giant's strength just now. It was quite difficult to imagine anyone could possess such power. If it appeared in a city, it would cause devastation.

The high-rise apartments were only as tall as its calves. It could crush them just by raising its foot and cars were akin to paper to it. It wouldn't even take a day for it to destroy a city.

"We can neither escape nor defeat it… What should we do?"

"Q-Quickly kneel down…" Mu Sen said nervously.

He endured the pain and knelt down on the ground in a devout manner. Everyone finally realized the meaning of Mu Sen's words after seeing this. If it was indeed a God, then they had to naturally bow down.

"R-Right. Everyone, kneel down."

Everyone knelt down one after another. They felt that they had at last found a way to save themselves.

They quickly knelt down like pious believers.

It seemed this was their final hope.

Their gamble paid off. That giant golden sculpture didn't attack them again and stopped moving. It bent its head down to look at them.

This had confirmed their guess. A God stood before them and only through sincere reverence could they preserve their life.

However, they discovered that the golden giant was looking towards a person. All of them looked towards there as well and saw someone was still standing. It was none other than Jiang Xiu.

Mu Sen and the others turned pale in fright.

Li Chengzhi and the students were frightened as well. That was because Jiang Xiu was quite close to them.

"Mr. Jiang, quickly kneel down!"

"Hurry up!"
