Chapter 1554: Encounter

Chen Yu was not panicked; aside from that armored soldier sustained by a soul, these things could not pose any threat to him. He could wipe these things out with a flick of his fingers.

He brought his right hand into a sword finger, slowly raising it upward, and vast Primordial Qi swirled around Chen Yu's fingertips, condensing into streaks of electric light.

"Break..." Chen Yu spat out a single word, and the electric light swirling at his fingertips erupted in an instant; with a buzzing sound, countless streaks of white electric light whistled away.

Those hundreds of mummies turned into fly ash in an instant.

The armored soldier looked at Chen Yu indifferently, then raised the axe in his hand, his two flame-like eyes narrowing slightly.

An invisible force surged out from the giant axe, striking in all directions. Following this strike of his power, the surrounding mummies that had already turned into ashes formed into clusters of storms once more, then condensed back into human shapes and stood up.

Chen Yu looked at everything before him in astonishment; he had not expected such a trick, so he would have to use some means.

He stretched out his right hand, and a Taoist Talisman glowing with a faint light appeared between his two fingers. He did not hold back; as he activated his Mind Power, Spiritual Light swirled around his fingertips, and the Taoist Talisman exploded with a boom. Crimson radiance burned across the entire scene, and wherever the firelight reached, everything turned to fly ash.

Even if these mummies could reorganize, they were only using Dark Power, and a Dharma Cultivator had plenty of ways to deal with Dark Power, so this move of Chen Yu's did not take any effort at all.

After turning into ashes once again, the mummies had no way to reorganize. The armored soldier's two fire-like eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his head, looking directly at Chen Yu from a position of superiority.

Chen Yu also stared at him, and the two sides just looked at each other like this.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry, just waiting for his next move. This armored soldier was an Ancient Egyptian Theocratic Guardian, extremely powerful, and having been cursed when he died, he was to guard this place for all eternity.

The two sides just stared at each other like this. After a long while, the armored soldier suddenly moved the giant axe in his hand and, taking clumsy steps, began to slash toward Chen Yu.

Although his speed looked slow, it was fast to the extreme, and the giant axe carried a streak of extremely strong Dark Breath as it slashed down.

If he were struck by this Dark Breath, even with Chen Yu's Regeneration ability, it would be enough to give him a hard time.

Chen Yu also knew that the one before him did not allow for carelessness. He grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared. A streak of crimson light swept up from Lichen, and he fought back and forth with him.

Sword and axe clashed, and both sides retreated several steps.

The armored soldier stared at Chen Yu, his pupils slightly constricted, and those two clusters of eerie red light flared into flames. Clearly, in this battle just now, he had already raised his combat power to the extreme.

The two sides raised their weapons to clash again, and the surrounding Mountain was shaved perfectly flat by the two of them. Finally, Chen Yu swept the Lichen in his hand forward, and this armored soldier finally fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.

He panted heavily, the giant axe in his hand propped against the ground, appearing extremely difficult and painful.

"Who are you?" The armored soldier was actually able to speak. Although Chen Yu could not understand his words, people who reached this level generally communicated on a spiritual level, so language was no longer important.

"A Dharma Cultivator from the East." Chen Yu raised his head, staring at the armored soldier, and said, "Although this is our first meeting, I can tell that you are a person of flesh and blood. I can feel your sorrow, and I can also feel your anger at having your soul locked within the green armor."

"You can die for battle, but you cannot be reduced to a burial object in someone's tomb, so why can you not take a step back?"

"My soul has been cursed, so as long as I exist, I cannot retreat." The armored soldier's voice was hoarse. He remained in Silence for a long time before saying, "Kill me."

Chen Yu nodded slightly. He raised his hand, and Lichen was already pressed against the armored soldier's forehead. He understood that for this armored soldier, dying completely was the only release for him.

A streak of Primordial Qi was triggered from the tip of the sword, and with a whoosh, the biting Primordial Qi pierced through the armored soldier's armor.

The armored soldier's body stiffened slightly, his huge frame collapsed to the ground with a boom, and then he turned into a pile of ashes, completely vanishing into thin air.

Chen Yu shook his head slightly. Before he died, he must have been a remarkable warrior. He could die in battle, but he could not guard here endlessly; his dignity did not allow for this.

Vanishing into thin air was a great release for him.

After resolving all this, the road ahead was much wider. Chen Yu followed this path and continued walking forward.

Meanwhile, Ye Er, with his subordinates, had already reached the deepest part of this place.

The lights came on, and everything around them left everyone shocked.

They saw that ahead, there was a huge deep pit, and twelve bronze statue warriors surrounded the deep pit.

These warriors were made of brass, each holding a giant sword, with the giant swords inserted into the ground.

And right in their center, a coffin was hanging. The coffin was suspended in the air, tightly locked by twelve iron chains, and the other ends of the iron chains were tied to the giant swords in the hands of these warriors.

In the empty space above the coffin, there was a huge container, inside of which mercury was constantly dripping downward.

"Is this the place?" Ye Er stopped, looking at everything before him; he felt a sense of ecstasy.

He slowly knelt on the ground, then leaned his body forward slightly, pressing his chest to the ground, and tried his best to slide forward.

His entire body was almost prone on the ground. This was a ritual from their hometown, a grand ceremony performed when encountering treasure: one was to thank the heavens for their gift, and the other was to beg for the protection of the gods so that they could safely obtain the treasure.

"Congratulations, General Ye'er, we have finally arrived here." Qishu chuckled and said, "Heaven does not disappoint those who try, but this place does not seem to be a treasure."

"It is indeed not a treasure. Actually, Qishu, do you think that someone of my status is still interested in money and wealth?" Ye Er chuckled. He slowly crawled up, his eyes shining as he looked at the locked coffin.

"General Ye'er seems to know what is inside?" Qishu was slightly stunned.

"Qishu, you are an expert, and your family has been doing this for generations. What do you think is inside?" Ye Er smiled slightly and said somewhat mysteriously.

"Looking at the surrounding warriors, each one is tall and sturdy, and their expressions are all very fierce and powerful. These should be important guards of the Theocracy, possessing very strong power, and the weapons in their hands go straight into the ground, with iron chains connected to the coffin above."

"Although it is different from our Huaxia methods, it is not hard to see that the thing inside here is being suppressed."

"Not bad, continue." Ye Er smiled slightly and nodded.
