Chapter 424: Chapter 188 Encounter with Poaching, Supreme Drop!_1

The Clay Human hid in the shadow of the light and threw three Flying Stones with a sling, whistling through the air with accuracy aimed at Pharaoh’s eyes.

Pharaoh was about to smash Xia Hongyao’s head but, upon seeing this, immediately raised his hand and, with a motion akin to swatting flies, batted the stones away.

Then Muscle Buddha charged in, striking a barrage of punches as big as alms bowls!

Ooo-la-la-la!

Lin Baici’s flying sword also arrived, aiming to pierce through the back of its head.

"You think you can save her?"

Pharaoh sneered, and the bandages around him suddenly sprang to life, like wriggling tentacles, each one exerting force as if to tear Xia Hongyao apart in a drawing and quartering.

High Ponytail was not frightened; she activated Divine Grace, and a black shadow shifted from her body to the side, as if shedding a skin.

The next second, the shadow turned into Xia Hongyao herself.

Rip! Tear!

The bandages shredded ’Xia Hongyao,’ but what they tore apart was not a body of flesh and blood, but rather a scattering of black shards akin to glass.

This was Xia Hongyao’s Divine Grace, the Phantom Substitute, which could be used to save her life in critical moments. However, it required a massive consumption of Divine Power. Even with Xia Hongyao’s exceptional constitution, she was left gasping for air and drenched in sweat.

Seeing Xia Hongyao escape, Pharaoh’s face stiffened, feeling his dignity had been insulted. He immediately sought to pounce and kill her.

But Lin Baici rushed over in time, fiercely slashing with the Bronze Sword!

Meat Shattering Strike!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

With the sword blade cutting through the air, carrying a cold light of death, it would sever a length of the bandages with each strike.

"Go destroy this guy’s portrait on the murals, all of it!"

Lin Baici shouted.

As the tempest blew, Wild Buddha appeared behind him, then blew towards Pharaoh.

Whoosh!

The flames that had just kindled on Pharaoh’s head were extinguished, but it itself remained unharmed.

Because it was ’dead’ to begin with.

Gu Qingqiu hid by the wall, her mind working at full capacity.

These murals depicted a lot, mostly glorifying the splendid life of Pharaoh, with some exaggerated tales, such as deicide, establishing a God State, and declaring oneself a God.

In Gu Qingqiu’s view, though the murals were many, their content differed in significance.

For instance, at Pharaoh’s birth, the sun did not set for seven days, fruit trees bore fruit around the royal city, flowers bloomed, fragrance filled the air, and there was never half a month without it.

Then there’s Pharaoh’s coronation, where a Goddess descended to marry him.

Although inflated, the coronation of a prince surely marked a significant moment in life.

Gu Qingqiu immediately ran to Hua Yue Yu.

The female anchor was anxiously watching the fierce battle between Lin Baici and Pharaoh, gripping the Voodoo Staff, seeking an opportunity to land a blow on the monster.

"Hua Yue Yu, come with me!"

Gu Qingqiu tugged at the female anchor’s arm.

"Ah!"

Hua Yue Yu was startled but, seeing it was Gu Qingqiu, felt relieved: "What’s up?"

"Come with me!"

Gu Qingqiu repeated, and noting Hua Yue Yu’s constant worry for Lin Baici, she said, "You joining the fight will only be a burden, better to do something within your power!"

"What can I do?"

Hua Yue Yu hated her own helpless state.

"Follow me!"

Upon saying this, Gu Qingqiu ran along the wall, her eyes swiftly scanning the surface.

Thanks to her childhood-developed speed-reading skills, she was able to extract the main information within a few seconds.

"What are you looking for? Pharaoh?"

Hua Yue Yu pointed to a spot: "I saw it!"

"That’s not it, follow me!"

Gu Qingqiu kept it brief.

Her health wasn’t great; if it weren’t for previously taking in Divine Grace with Xia Hongyao, which strengthened her a bit, she would have collapsed from exhaustion a long while ago.

Even so, she was nearly at her limit, pale-faced and drenched in sweat, yet tinged with an excited flush—she was still holding on because the thrill of the adventure caused a massive rush of adrenaline, suppressing her discomfort.

If she could survive this ordeal, the aftermath would afflict her for quite a while.

Suddenly, Gu Qingqiu stopped and pointed at a Pharaoh’s relief on the mural.

"Here, attack this!"

Gu Qingqiu called Hua Yue Yu to join her because the staff’s power could destroy the relief in one strike; otherwise, she would have to scrape away with a small knife for ages.

Knowing the urgency, Hua Yue Yu didn’t hesitate to follow instructions, and even though she had questions, she didn’t ask them. Instead, she strictly followed Gu Qingqiu’s commands.

Boom! Boom!

Two bolts of lightning struck the wall, blasting Pharaoh’s relief to smithereens and leaving a large crater.

The female anchor, to ensure success with a single strike, even launched an additional bolt of lightning.

"No need for two, save some Divine Power!"

Gu Qingqiu ran off again.

She knew it wasn’t there because, while Hua Yue Yu attacked the relief, she continued to stealthily observe Pharaoh.

If the monster showed nervousness, it would mean she was on the right track.

"Here, again!"

This time, Gu Qingqiu directed her to an image of Pharaoh’s consecration ceremony, the deification ritual.

The lightning bolt accurately destroyed Pharaoh’s relief on the mural, but its real self showed no signs of damage.

"It’s no use!"

Hua Yue Yu was anxious as Lin Baici was surrounded by dangers.

"Move on!"

Hua Yue Yu rushed to the next spot, and then she heard Lin Baici’s voice: "Go destroy the reliefs depicting the significant moments in Pharaoh’s life."

As Lin Baici shouted, he stared at Pharaoh, hoping to catch a trace on the creature’s facade, but Pharaoh was as unmoved as an ancient well, calm as if everything was under control.
