Chapter 588: Chapter 53: The Sealed Queen and Return_2

Chu Baichuan dodged two golden ray beams, successfully closing in. He grabbed its head and detonated it, causing a burst of flame which completely engulfed its head, burning all its hair. He then swiftly jerked its head downwards and threw a punch at its abdomen, bending its body in pain and lifting it off the ground. Followed by a swift roundhouse kick to the chest, he sent it crashing into the wall.

Tang Zheng quickly reached out, grabbed its ankle, and forcefully swung it against the ground like a flimsy sack, causing another explosion where Chu Baichuan had made contact with the Pharaoh.

The Pharaoh released a ring of golden light, sending Chu Baichuan flying once again. Yu Manli had just run over with the intention to beat it to death barehandedly, but she too was sent tumbling away.

"Gravity Suppression." Post the Seed Ability’s activation, Tang Zheng increased his own body gravity, effectively neutralizing the force of the golden ring. Ignoring the blood he spat out, he tossed a Rabbit Explosive onto the Pharaoh’s face and followed with a kick aiming for its eyes.

Under the immense gravity, the Pharaoh’s body barely moved. As it attempted to send forth another beam at the approaching kick, it also pointed a finger to condense another of those black orbs, ready to project it at Tang Zheng’s chest. Suddenly, two Sand Spears punctured through the ground like lightning. One impaled the Pharaoh’s forefinger, immediately severing it, while the other rammed into its left eye, gouging out a bloody hole.

"Courting death." The Pharaoh glared at Lu Fan. The black orb originally targeting Tang Zheng redirected towards Little Lolita. Simultaneously, a golden beam shot from its remaining right eye, still targeting Little Lolita.

The more Sand Spears, the more dispersed the power. Had it not been required to stop that black orb, Lu Fan could have disabled the Pharaoh’s eyes with a single strike. However, after such a prolonged battle, her Life Energy had taken a heavy toll. Gasping for breath, she was preparing to evade when the unavoidable black light ball homed in on her, hitting her back.

Lu Fan’s face instantly scrunched up due to the pain. With the last bit of her strength, she summoned a Desert Barrier to block the metallic beam. The Little Lolita was blown away and crashed into the wall, hitting the ground with half of her body blurred and indistinct. From the look of it, she had taken a severe injury.

Tang Zheng was immensely furious. Unfortunately, he hadn’t managed to reach the Second-Order Burst State yet. Nevertheless, he didn’t waste the opportunity created by Lu Fan, and with a kick, he landed a blow to the Pharaoh’s right eye and kicked it blind. The colossal impact forced it to fall heavily to the ground.

The Snow Masamune carved a shining silver line in the dim main burial chamber, and blood splattered as the Pharaoh’s arm was severed at the elbow and fell to the floor.

Tang Zheng gripped the Pharaoh’s Neck with one hand and with all his strength, he snapped it. At the same time, he thrust the Snow Masamune into its heart. The Pharaoh, tilting its head, sent its crown flying towards Tang Zheng. It hit him like a ten-thousand-pound hammer, sending him flying back, spitting up blood. His chest bone caved in, obviously broken in many places.

Chu Baichuan was sprinting while setting off explosions, engulfing the Pharaoh in a tumult of flames. A thumb-sized Scepter shot out wrapped in a golden light, aiming for Chu Baichuan’s heart. He twisted his body desperately to dodge, but it still pierced into his right chest.

As the Scepter impaled Chu Baichuan, it rapidly expanded, pinning him along with it against the wall. The blood flowed down the wall.

Qin Yan managed to roll back to her feet, brandishing the Tang sword and took the Pharaoh’s legs off. But she was struck down immediately by a punch from it, crumbling her right shoulder and falling into unconsciousness.

Just over a minute remains. The Pharaoh was severely injured, whereas the primary combatants of the Trojan Squad, except for Pang Meiqin, were all grievously injured and dying. They all lay on the ground. Chen Hong desperately pulled Aima back to the passage entrance, preventing her from moving forward.

Ai Yixin, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly paled. She had not activated her Seed Ability in order to save seeds to buy a powerful Protective Clothing. As a result, she couldn’t contribute much here. Nonetheless, she stood up and decisively charged at the Pharaoh.

With a slight culr of its lips, the Pharaoh raised the Book of the Undead in the air. It glowed darkly as mummies began emerging from below. The Golden Scarab started to summon minions, emittting a nebulous golden light in the process. Beetle minions that resembled rhinoceroses were also crawling out from the ground.

"Battle on.", Ai Yixin, leading her heavily pregnant belly, charged forward.

The Pharaoh, adjusting its neck, clicked its tongue in mockery. It gestured and the Book of the Undead sprung into action. It hit Ai Yixin’s pregnant belly directly, sending her flying away. Her belly visibly sank, obviously indicating that the unborn baby had been smashed.

"Yixin." Chu Baichuan’s heart shattered as he watched his wife fall to the ground, dragging a long bloody trail under her.

Dantai, badly injured, rushed forward only to be knocked down by the Pharaoh’s punch. Yu Manli finally approached and grabbed the Pharaoh’s arm in an attempt to slam him to the ground. However, her lack of combat experience showed. Although the Pharaoh’s right eye was bloodstained, it had already healed. Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot out, blasting Yu Manli’s right thigh. Had he not been hindered by the uneven terrain, this strike alone could have cost Yu Manli her life.

The Pharaoh fell to the ground, suffering multiple fractures. Yet, it remained energetic, reattaching its severed legs to its wounds. It paid no attention to the few ants hiding in the corner. Once its servant was summoned, these nuisances would be easily dealt with.

"Nefertari, I will resurrect you." Just as the Pharaoh finished his sentence, he jerked and bulges appeared on his skin, like earthworms crawling rapidly towards his heart.

You’re not dead yet?" murmured Pang Meiqin, suddenly emerging from her hiding spot. She rushed towards the Pharaoh, unloading her entire clip of rifle rounds into his head.

The Pharaoh’s head exploded like a smashed watermelon, spattering brain and blood everywhere. Yet, unfathomably, it was still alive. A golden halo shot out, trying to repel anyone who approached. Because its right index finger had been severed by Lu Fan, it was unable to release the Death Finger. Both eyes had been destroyed, making the golden beam unusable as well. Nonetheless, it continued to stall, waiting for its mummified subordinates to emerge from the ground. Once they did, these enemies were doomed.

Pang Meiqin was knocked backward, however, she immediately pulled out a machine gun and fired at the Pharaoh’s chest, turning it into a bloody mess.

Tang Zheng, who had temporarily recovered his breath after slapping on a First Aid Kit, forced himself to endure the pain and lunged out again. His Snowmaru and double-edged blade simultaneously cleaved into the Pharaoh’s body, severing it into three parts.

Without any hesitation, Tang Zheng thrust Snowmaru into its heart, reducing it to mush.

With its physical form destroyed, a dark soul drifted out from the corpse.

"You dare destroy my body, I curse you all..." raged the soul of Ramses II, fleeing towards the passage. It was incredibly weak now and could be eliminated by any spirit attack.

Tang Zheng painstakingly retrieved the Demon Slaying Holy Flame, but hesitated to pull the trigger. He noticed that entwined with the Pharaoh’s soul was a slumbering spirit resembling Queen Nefertari. If he fired, they would likely both disappear, resulting in a mission failure.

"Aima, your ring." Seeing Aima being held back by Chen Hong, Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that the girl owned an emerald ring allegedly belonging to Queen Nefertari, a memento from her grandfather.

Watching as all members of the Trojan Squad were seriously injured and unconscious, on the brink of death, Aima felt lost. Especially as the Pharaoh’s spirit flew towards her, she was stunned. Chen Hong turned tail and ran in fear.

"Oh." Upon hearing Tang Zheng, Aima instinctively raised her right hand and aimed the ring at the hovering Ramses II.

"No, why is the Soul Ring in your hands?" Ramses II voiced his terror, trying to hastily escape. But after Aima chanted a spell left to her by her grandfather, Ramses II entire spectral form was drawn into the emerald jewel on her ring, like smoke being sucked in.

"Is this sealing?" Aima squatting on the ground dumbfounded, before running towards Tang Zheng.

"Mission completed, teleportation will commence in five seconds." A calm voice from the wristwatch announced.

"You bastard, teleport them back to the room right now." Tang Zheng hollered hoarsely. Each one of them was critically injured and might not survive another five seconds. If they died, even returning to the room would be useless. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com and vote for it. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
