Compared to the young Amon and the newly promoted Constantine, Sathah was definitely a veteran Physical Invulnerability Mighty One. If he were in China, even if he didn't get a title, he would definitely be rated as a First Pin expert. As he dodged and dodged, he didn't show any signs of losing, but he was still at a disadvantage.
His fists were spewing fire, which disturbed the surroundings. Even the environment was affected. 'Crimson rain' fell from the sky like stars. While it was interfering with his opponent's movement, six symmetrical wings quickly condensed on his back. The burning and steaming wings made him look like an angel walking on the earth!
After the six wings were completed, Sathah made a prompt decision. He straightened his back and turned the crimson feathers into arrows that whizzed towards Constantine and Amon.
These arrows glowed with flames. Once they came into contact, they would immediately explode with continuous rumbles. It was as if dozens or hundreds of RPGs had been fired at the same time. Of course, the individual arrows weren't as powerful because they were scattered, but it was still a spectacular sight.
Sathah's trump card, Fury of the Fire Angel!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Streaks of light flew everywhere, and the crimson flames spread like waves. Neither Amon nor Constantine dared to face this attack head-on. They each took a few steps back, dodging and blocking.
Now's the time! Sathah stomped on the ground, cracking the cement road. His entire body was like a phantom, dragging a long tail behind him as he sped into the distance.
Suddenly, a dim light flashed, and a crimson light appeared. Constantine's figure had caught up to Sathah in the blink of an eye. His full speed and short-distance sprinting speed were like man-made lightning, much faster than this veteran Demigod.
At this moment, Sathah stopped without warning. His feet stepped onto the road as if he had never run before.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
With a leap, the surface of his fist was ignited. A blazing white light clung to it as if it was enveloping and covering it.
In the midst of the clash, Constantine didn't have time to do anything else. He reached out his right palm, opened his glowing fingers, and grabbed his enemy's fist.
Boom! The blazing white light on Sathah's fist exploded in advance, pushing his wrist to change direction. Using a strange trajectory, he avoided Constantine's grab and hit his opponent's abdomen!
His escape just now was not a real escape, but a counterattack!
He had already noticed Constantine's terrifying speed. He knew that if he kept running, he would be caught sooner or later. When Amon and the mummy surrounded him, everything would be over.
If he wanted to escape, he had to attack first! First, he had to severely wound Dark Night Bat and destroy his ability to catch up!
For this reason, Sathah did not hesitate to use the Old Man's Assassination Technique!
In a short moment, this veteran demigod demonstrated his wisdom, perseverance, decisiveness, and strength!
No Physical Invulnerability expert came for free!
Bang!
Blood and flesh exploded, and his intestines writhed like snakes. Constantine looked at the exaggerated wound on his lower abdomen in disbelief. Sathah, on the other hand, did not even look at him. His body bounced back, and his right leg tightened into an iron rod, and he whipped it between the enemy's legs.
If this kick connected, he would borrow the force to run forward and truly escape!
Poof! Sathah's right leg missed. Just as his heart tightened, a milky white light exploded in front of him. It was so blinding that he couldn't open his eyes.
In his senses, the rain of fire around him seemed to have been doused with dust or ice water, extinguishing with a sizzling sound.
Not good! Sathah muttered to himself. Before he could retract his right leg, blazing white flames spurted out of his left leg and slammed it into the ground.
Using the force, he charged forward and leaped into the distance.
A figure appeared in a flash. Constantine had blocked his way. The clearly visible ruptured intestines in his abdomen wriggled and connected on their own, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flesh and blood on the exaggerated wound were also growing and gathering crazily. It seemed that in a few seconds, everything would be restored to its original state, except for his clothes.
"How dare you hurt the Savior!" Constantine's sharp and angry voice reverberated in the surroundings. His swollen palm drilled into Sathah's ears.
In Sathah's eyes, Constantine's entire body was emitting a milky white holy light. It was a stark contrast to his dark and sinister appearance. The natural "pity" in his eyes had already turned into mockery.
Damn it! Sathah cursed in his heart. He didn't dare hold back. All the pores on his right arm opened up and spurted out blazing white and blue flames. He used the flames to propel his fist forward with terrifying speed and strength towards his enemy.
At the same time, the surrounding environment was affected and ignited, forming a net of fire.
The net of fire rapidly shrunk, condensing into a violent ball of fire the size of a palm. It crashed towards Constantine from the side.
Constantine didn't care about the ball of fire. He extended his hand and clenched his fist. Drops of blood seeped out from his pores as if they were alive. They turned into a sinister glove and blocked Sathah's fist.
Boom!
The flames dimmed and scattered. Constantine was forced to take a few steps back. His shoulder was also hit by the violent ball of fire, turning it into a bloody mess.
Sathah stood firm. He wanted to seize the opportunity to strike again and complete his objective. However, he suddenly felt an invisible force pushing at him from the void. He couldn't help but take a few steps back. Around his shoulder, a strange airflow exploded, tearing apart his general's clothes and damaging his skin, muscles, and fascia.
What's going on? This was the first time Sathah had encountered such a strange thing. He was both shocked and frightened.
"There will be retribution for all who hurt!" Constantine's sharp voice sounded again. He extended his body again and tangled with Sathah. However, the milky white light around him had dimmed significantly.
At this moment, Amon caught up. Sathah had no choice but to give up on escaping. He struggled to hold on under the pincer attack of the two Demigods.
…
On the rooftop of the tall building, Ren Li's eyes lit up. Her right hand was already on the hilt of her sword. She looked eager to try.
"Three-on-three!" She turned to Lou Cheng and suggested in a low voice.
Lou Cheng thought for a moment, then shook his head solemnly.
"Forget it, next time. That should be Dark Night Bat. He's an American. If we can't finish him off here, I'm afraid he'll find trouble with Ke, erm, my girlfriend when he returns to China. Besides, we don't have any grudges with him. I'm not against sparring with him. However, I don't think I can get past myself if I really want to kill him. Yeah, it's hard to tell who's good and who's bad in Nile's case.
If a Physical Invulnerability expert were to form an irreconcilable grudge, it would be a huge headache. As long as a Physical Invulnerability expert was willing to go all out, it would be easy for them to kill a few people who didn't know any martial arts, even in China where there were strict regulations. The worst case scenario was that they wouldn't be able to escape and would have to pay with their life.
Lou Cheng stopped the Mummy from killing Sirius. Since they were both doing business, the aftermath wouldn't implicate too many people. If there was a grudge that the Mummy was willing to take a huge risk for revenge, he wouldn't just have to worry about Yan Zheke, who was in America. He would also have to worry about his parents, relatives, and friends. He couldn't possibly watch over them all the time or provide a head of state level security.
Of course, the opposite was also true. The Mummy would also consider these issues before dealing with Lou Cheng.
Ren Li was silent for a few seconds. Pursing her lips, she nodded.
"Alright."
She looked at the battlefield longingly. "Then let's watch a little longer."
"Sure." Lou Cheng agreed readily.
…
At the climax of the battle, seeing that the Mummy only had one opponent left, Sathah, who was in a passive position, was furious. His eyebrows were raised.
"Let's die together!" he roared. It was as though something in his body had been ignited.
Rumble!
At the spot where the three of them were fighting, a huge fireball rose and expanded, turning into a mushroom-shaped cloud. The surrounding noise disappeared. It was both loud and silent.
"Sacrificing oneself," and perishing together!
Rumble!
The sound overlapped. The building shook. Some of the walls cracked. Some of the ceiling even fell.
Did Sathah use his killer move? Lou Cheng and Ren Li looked at each other. Two figures flew out from the edge of the fireball. One was Constantine, and the other was Amon. Both of them were covered in dirt and were heavily injured. Scorch marks and potholes could be seen all over their bodies. Even their arms were dangling abnormally. Even Constantine's terrifying self-healing ability couldn't heal him in a short time. The milky white glow around him had dissipated.
At this moment, another figure leaped out from the fireball and fled into the distance. It was General Sathah.
His body was charred black and stained with blood. He didn't look human anymore. He had controlled the power of his Sacrifice and only used half of it. That way, he would only be heavily injured but not killed. Seizing the opportunity when Constantine and Amon thought that he had completely self-destructed and when the other two were injured, he broke out of the encirclement and ran into the distance. He was a cunning old fox. Tap!
Tap! Tap! He ran as fast as he could, paying no attention to his ridiculous injuries.
Suddenly, a hand wrapped in a yellowish white bandage reached out from the ground and grabbed his left ankle. Following that, a similar hand reached out and clamped down on Sathah's right foot like a pincer.
The Mummy had killed the last opponent and caught up in time!
Under normal circumstances, with his speed and the resistance of the ground, he wouldn't have been able to catch up to Sathah. But now, his opponent was heavily injured and weakened in all aspects. He couldn't pull away.
Sathah tried to pull his feet, but his opponent didn't move at all, as though he was made of iron.
Seeing Constantine closing in at high speed, his breath audible, he finally gave up. He closed his eyes, looked to the sky, and yelled the Holy Name.
Then, he burst into flames.
Boom!
The explosion was even more terrifying than the previous one. Sathah's body was smashed into pieces on the spot. His fingers and flesh splattered and fell far away. The mummy right below him was almost buried with him. All the bandages were burnt to ashes, revealing the charred skin. Four fingers were missing from his palm, and the bones in both arms were completely shattered.
Constantine suffered another blow. His clothes were in tatters, and only a third of his hair was left. He was in such a sorry state that he didn't look elegant at all.
"As expected of General Sathah." Amon panted and observed his surroundings.
The three Demigods almost couldn't stop him!
Amon, who was the least injured, still had troops to command. Thinking of Constantine's amazing recovery ability, he didn't mind bidding farewell and ran to the military base.
The Mummy dug into the ground and limped towards the nearest skyscraper. Constantine strolled beside him. Stretching his neck, he grumbled, "Sphynx should have dealt with such a dangerous guy personally!"
"Don't worry. Sphynx will deal with the last target," the Mummy replied, panting.
Lou Cheng and Ren Li retracted their gazes and squatted down. With their backs against the rooftop, they relied on their enhanced senses and corresponding techniques to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Mummy and Dark Night Bat.
This skyscraper only had twelve floors!
"Very good." Constantine rubbed his temples. "I need to recuperate."
As a Dead, the Mummy's injuries didn't affect his speech.
He asked casually, "Didn't you want to deal with Lou and Peng and suck their blood?"
Constantine's Blood Sucking wasn't just a simple act of sucking. The feelings of the target before their death could help him obtain the corresponding abilities. Otherwise, with just the blood, the chances of him failing were very high. Even if he succeeded, he might not have gained much.
As for the remnant blood in the Holy Grail, if it wasn't for the fact that the Savior had paved his own path and became a taboo figure in the early days without any prior explorations and accumulations, the "mark" he left behind would've been too strong. Even after two thousand years, Constantine probably wouldn't have succeeded. Even so, his harvest was much worse than expected.
Hearing the Mummy's question, Constantine smiled.
"There are still many opportunities to deal with them, so there's no need to rush. For example, Lou's girlfriend is in Connecticut. He visits often, so I don't have to worry about missing out. His girlfriend is the granddaughter of two Terror Grade experts. I can drink her blood while I'm at it."
"Aren't you afraid of revenge?" asked the Mummy, stunned.
"It's better if my family and friends are dead," answered Constantine indifferently.
On the rooftop, Ren Li suddenly sensed that Lou Cheng's aura had sharpened!
Her eyes lit up. She clenched her fist and transmitted her voice.
"Attack?"
"Yeah!" Lou Cheng narrowed his eyes. He had made up his mind to kill Dark Night Bat even if he had to chase him to the ends of the earth.
"Are we going to deal with one each?" asked Ren Li through voice transmission.
Lou Cheng thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"The Mummy is heavily injured. Let's take him by surprise and kill him together!"
That way, the follow-up would be easy!
