In the Isis Temple, Lou Cheng and the rest had just walked out of the secret chamber when Siris looked around and saw the High Priest lying unconscious on the recliner.
He didn't say much and walked weakly at the back of the group. When he passed by the lounge chair, he suddenly squatted down and leaned against it. Gathering all his remaining strength, he smashed his elbow into the high priest's neck, breaking his throat and breaking his cervical vertebrae. Without a sound, he went to meet Mother Earth.
This turn of events was out of Lou Cheng's expectations. He looked over in shock and blurted out,
"Mr. Siris?"
In order to prevent the High Priest from waking up and causing any accidents, he had used the Reflector to monitor the surroundings. He didn't expect Siris to suddenly attack and it was too late to stop him.
Siris supported himself on the armrest and stood up while panting. He revealed a smile and said,
"If he's alive, he'll expose us. You don't want to have two, three, or even a few Demigods chasing after you, right?"
"Of course. Khukhang definitely doesn't have that many experts. I'm just giving an extreme example."
His son and daughter-in-law were extremely frightened. They each covered the mouth of a child to prevent them from screaming uncontrollably.
Lou Cheng thought for a few seconds and nodded thoughtfully. He turned around and led Siris and his family back the way they came. From the place where the window was removed, he threw them one by one. Special Investigator Wang Dong caught them one by one. The entire process was carried out silently and didn't disturb the stray dogs and cats nearby.
In the end, Lou Cheng created a vibration and sent a voice transmission to his companions,
"You guys leave first. I'll take care of the aftermath. We'll meet at the predetermined location."
What aftermath? Wang Dong was confused but his professionalism didn't allow him to delay. He led Siris and his family away and disappeared into the night.
Lou Cheng turned around and snuck into the High Priest's room again. Due to the privacy of the higher-ups, there were only surveillance devices in the secret chamber.
This time, he used his fists and legs to control his muscles, fascia, and force. He used the friction between them and the air to counteract the sound of his body shattering the tables and chairs, cracking the walls, and burning the floor. If there was an outsider here, he would definitely be horrified. It was as if Lou Cheng was fighting a silent battle with an invisible ghost. Everything was like a silent color film at the beginning of the last century.
Such control was extremely demanding, and Lou Cheng didn't have the supernatural ability of Sonic Wave. If it weren't for the qualitative change in his mind and the improvement in his realm of All-Seeing God, he definitely wouldn't have been able to complete such a feat. Even so, he had no choice but to slow down his movements to ensure precision.
In the end, he was sweating profusely. After a little looting, he filled a luggage bag with gold and jewels. They all had the unique charm of the Nile, and there was no lack of antiques among them.
When he was done, Lou Cheng left the High Priest's room with his back bowed and back bent. He circled the circular corridor like a ghost and returned to his original spot. He leaped down from the third floor, which had lost its window. He retracted his Qi and blood in midair, adjusted his strength, and landed steadily and silently. Like a civet cat, he blended into the darkness.
A few minutes later, the patrolling guards discovered their comrade who had fainted. They then noticed the abnormality in the High Priest's residence.
Another fifteen minutes later, Lou Cheng saw Wang Dong, Siris, and a few others in a parking lot in the north of KhuKhang. The engine of a modified SUV was still running, and it was ready to leave.
"Why are you going back?" Wang Dong asked in a seemingly casual manner.
"Thanks to Senior Siris's teachings, I've learned a lot. I'm going back to leave some evidence for them." Lou Cheng smiled and sighed. He glanced at Siris and replied in Hua Nation.
"Evidence?" Wang Dong was half puzzled and half guessing. "Are you trying to mislead the possible pursuers?"
"Yes. Let's first assume that there are experts at the temple who are adept at tracking. It's better to be prepared," explained Lou Cheng.
Wang Dong nodded thoughtfully. He turned around and opened the door to the driver's seat.
"Let's talk on the way."
…
At the temple, the Mummy rushed to the High Priest's room and observed the scene.
Aside from his face, his exposed skin was wrapped in yellowish white bandages. His face was covered with a thick beard that concealed his facial features.
"An intense battle, but no one heard it …" muttered the Mummy softly. He made a judgment. "The attacker should have the supernatural ability to block out sound. His standard is slightly higher than the High Priest's."
The fact that they could fight to such an extent in a surprise attack was enough to show the level of the attacker.
At this thought, the Mummy turned to the remaining priests. "Did you see anything from the surveillance?"
"Yes." A skinny priest asked the supervisor in charge of surveillance to bring in a laptop and replay the surveillance footage. There was footage of Lou Cheng jumping to the third floor and "dismantling" the window. There was footage of him attacking two guards and knocking them unconscious. There was footage of him returning and "collecting" a group of loot bags.
In these videos, due to Lou Cheng's deliberate evasiveness, his face was never recorded. They could only determine that he was an Asian based on his facial features.
"Why didn't you discover him on the spot?" asked the Mummy in a deep voice.
"It happened in the blink of an eye. If you don't slow down the video, it's hard to determine if it's an illusion or reality," explained the supervisor in a fluster.
More importantly, there were so many cameras and so many images. The temple had never placed much emphasis on the power of technology. He didn't have many subordinates, and it was late at night. How could they discover something that happened in a flash?
The 'Mummy' glanced at the supervisor coldly. "That's your problem."
As soon as he finished, he reached out and grabbed the supervisor by the neck, lifting the fat and round man up.
"No …" The supervisor's voice was choked out in his throat, like the cry of a dying rooster.
His hands and feet struggled a few times, but they quickly lost their strength. His moist skin quickly weathered and dried up. In less than thirty seconds, he lost all signs of life and turned into a real mummy.
Thump! The Mummy loosened his grip and let the supervisor fall to the floor.
"I'll go and catch them," said the Mummy in a deep voice. The mummy said in a low voice. Then, he muttered in anger and disdain, "An Inhuman from China … A greedy Inhuman …"
He took out a bandage and wrapped it around his head again and again, leaving only his two eyeballs uncovered.
At first glance, he was already a real mummy. Even his aura had become dim, faintly discernible, as if he was dead.
"The aura of life … the taste of life …" The Mummy opened his arms and embraced nature, muttering cryptically.
His surroundings instantly turned dark. In the tiniest places, there seemed to be oil stains shining. There were strange light spots rising in a riot of colors, swaying in the air, each different from the other.
It was as if the Underworld had descended, causing the priests to lower their noble heads.
"Found you!" said the Mummy suddenly.
Before he could finish his sentence, his figure had already disappeared from the room.
…
Under the night sky, the heat of the day dissipated. The surrounding yellow sand was quiet. A modified MPV sped along Route 76.
Lou Cheng's suggestion for a retreat was that the situation in Deeka was chaotic and easy to intercept. Why not go south to Bori Town and head to the port city of Fartouat?
To this, Wang Dong and Siris both agreed.
As the car sped past, the silent desert beside the road suddenly moved, forming a human-shaped "sand sculpture."
The "sand sculpture" shook, and the sand on the surface fell off, revealing the Mummy with his face covered in bandages and a pair of deep, flickering eyes.
He sprinted at full speed and finally caught up with his target!
As for the priests, he didn't want them to be a hindrance, thinking that they would slow him down, so he didn't bring them along.
Looking at the taillights of the car, the Mummy's bandages moved, revealing an undetectable smile.
"Hmph!" he said softly, then sank back into the yellow sand.
In the MPV, Siris couldn't help but praise after hearing what Lou Cheng had done.
"Not bad. This will make the people of the Deity Temple think that the opponent isn't strong, so the number of experts they send to chase after us will be limited."
"I hope so. If the priests had swarmed me, I would have had no choice but to run … Mr. Siris, how's your recovery?" asked Lou Cheng with concern.
"Once I stop injecting for more than an hour, the medicine won't be able to suppress me anymore." Siris flexed his arms and smiled happily. "I'm halfway recovered."
Lou Cheng was about to speak again when he felt a premonition. He turned to look out of the window.
The gentle and peaceful yellow sand under the moonlight had turned violent. It was dyed black and was surging towards them grain by grain.
No!
That's not yellow sand!
Those are tiny insects that completely covered the color of the yellow sand. They were densely packed and uncountable, making one's scalp tingle.
"Ouch!" Siris's grandson saw this and let out a tragic cry.
Lou Cheng made a prompt decision and opened the door forcefully. He jumped out of the car, knelt on one knee, and punched the ground.
Bam!
Just as his fist hit the ground, rings of scarlet and white flames rippled outwards. With the support of "Heaven and Earth," the power extended.
The flames rippled and passed through the car, engulfing the black waves.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Pa! Whenever the scarlet and white flames came into contact, the tiny insects would immediately explode. They didn't leave behind any corpses, as though they had returned directly to the Underworld.
Rings after rings, waves after waves. With Lou Cheng as the center, within a radius of fifty to sixty meters, the black turned into powder. The ground was clean, revealing the yellow sand.
After the punch, Lou Cheng visualized and adjusted his organs. He aimed another punch at the opposite side.
This time, he treated the ground as his opponent and used Internal Explosion.
Internal Explosion of the Physical Invulnerability level!
Rumble!
The surface of the ground exploded, causing the surroundings to shake. Not far from Lou Cheng, a black figure felt the pressure and uncontrollably crawled out from the yellow sand. A yellowish white bandage covered his face, making him look demonic and evil.
The Mummy narrowed his eyes and almost blurted out.
Demigod!
A Physical Invulnerability expert from China!
