A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Boom!!

Instantly, boundless flames erupted, and the massive sandstorm that had been sweeping across the land vanished in an instant.

Imhotep covered his face with his hands as countless grains of sand blew at him, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

As a mage who primarily uses sand in combat, this was the first time he had experienced the harm that sand could inflict on him.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a huge sand pit slowly appeared on the ground. It was very deep, and the sand at the deepest part of the pit was no longer yellow, but rather a damp black.

You have to understand, this is the Sahara Desert, where water is the rarest thing.

Combustion type: Miocvas!

It's essentially a self-destruction. Aside from its toxicity, gas itself doesn't pose much of a threat.

But if you add an explosion, it's a different story; the destructive power instantly increases by a whole level.

Seeing the sandstorm disappear with the explosion, Imhotep frowned slightly. Not only had the sandstorm disappeared, but the enemy had also vanished.

Imhotep certainly doesn't believe Cao Gui is dead.

After two battles, even if Imhotep was stupid, he knew how troublesome Cao Gui was.

The thought had barely formed when a breeze brushed against his shiny bald head, and Imhotep inexplicably got goosebumps all over.

!!!

Imhotep felt a chill run down his spine, a strong sense of alarm rising within him, and instinctively turned into sand to dodge.

However, Imhotep, whose body had just turned to sand, immediately sensed something was wrong.

A jet-black hand gripped a clump of sand, which was his body that had already been transformed into sand. Imhotep was shocked, recalling the tragic scene of his last battle.

Bang!

Sure enough, a huge fist slammed into his face, and two yellow teeth flew out and fell into the yellow sand.

"what!"

Imhotep couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Damn it, what's going on? Why does this punch hurt so much?"

Cao Gui's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he wrapped his hands around Imhotep with domineering power, beckoning to the sand-transformed Imhotep one after another.

Bang bang bang bang!

Imhotep screamed in agony as his collarbone, ribs, and shoulder blades snapped instantly, and his teeth flew off to who knows where.

Suddenly, Imhotep was completely exposed, and Cao Gui actually gave up his combo attack on him.

Bang!

A loud bang, not the sound of a fist slamming down, but Imhotep's face showed horror, because this was even more brutal.

As Cao Gui floated into the sky, his right arm swelled, but his five fingers were clenched into a fist, with Armament Haki swirling around it.

Then, a gas explosion occurred in his biceps, and a jet-black fist shot towards Imhotep like a rocket.

This move is an imitation of Katakuri's "grilled mochi" technique. As for why Katakuri, a user of the Mochi Mochi Fruit, can use the power of the fire explosion to deliver a heavy blow, that remains to be seen.

All I can say is... even a dog wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit!

Bang!

The powerful fist pierced right through Imhotep's body, leaving a huge gash in his chest, the size of a human head.

However, it contains no organs, let alone internal organs.

"Ow—!"

Imhotep writhed on the ground in pain, and blood began to seep from his thin skin.

At this point, Imhotep had only devoured the flesh and blood of three people and had not fully restored his physical body. The last sacrifice, Chamberlain, was killed by Cao Gui, and his corpse was added to the [System Backpack].

But this can be considered a blessing in disguise; otherwise, this attack would have been enough to kill Imhotep.

However, what happened next refuted Cao Gui's view: small bone fragments were seen floating slowly in the desert.

They were then glued onto Imhotep's damaged skeleton one by one, and after a short while, Imhotep's skeleton was completely restored.

Cao Gui's heart sank slightly. An immortal body?

No, no, Cao Gui rejected this guess. Although Imhotep's skeleton had recovered, the skin that gave him a rudimentary human form had not.

Cao Gui had previously cracked his skull, but although his skull did not immediately heal, it did not fall to the ground.

Cao Gui also damaged one of his eyes. Imhotep was furious at that time and even wanted to fight Cao Gui to the death.

Considering the current situation... his immortality should only be limited to his skeleton, excluding his flesh and bones.

Thinking of this, Cao Gui's heart sank slightly. He was currently overwhelming Imhotep in his incomplete state, but he had no way to kill him.

Even if you blow him to pieces, he will regenerate. At most, he will lose his eyes and tongue, but he is still alive.

This is a mage, Cao Gui doesn't believe he wouldn't be able to recover.

However, just as Cao Gui was pondering how to deal with Imhotep, a purple light suddenly shone on the horizon.

Four illusory horses galloped in, pulling a prison cart.

It must be Eve and the others... Eve must have cast the spell.

Cao Gui breathed a sigh of relief; Imhotep was truly finished this time.

Chapter 222 Imhotep's Defeat and Death

A few minutes ago.

Eve, overjoyed at having retrieved the key, ran back to the Sunbeam and was about to open it with the key when...

With a whoosh, a figure landed face-first in front of him.

“God… O’Connor?” Eve looked bewildered and hurriedly helped O’Connor up.

"Ptooey, ptooey... Damn it, these mummies are impossible to kill." O'Connor spat out the sand in his mouth and said through gritted teeth.

Ten people ganging up on one person is incredibly unsportsmanlike.

Eve was speechless. "You were the one who said you could take on ten people at once, and now you're blaming others for not being martial arts ethic?"

Before they could think any further, the mummy staggered and approached the three of them.

"Damn it, what are we going to do?" Jonathan looked terrified and instinctively hid behind his sister.

"Of course they ran away!"

O'Connor said matter-of-factly that ever since he was tricked by Benny last time, he had learned the importance of being careful with his words.

"Right, right, let's go!" Jonathan suddenly realized, helped Eve pick up the Book of the Sun, and planned to run away before the mummy's encirclement could be formed.

"Wait, what about Cao?" Eve asked hurriedly.

“He’s still dealing with Imhotep, we can’t abandon him.”

At the critical moment, Eve thought of Cao Gui, who was still fighting.

"He's so strong, he'll be fine. If we don't leave now, we're going to die here."

O'Connor gave a casual reply, grabbed Eve, and dragged her toward the hole Cao Gui had made.

He's an English gentleman, a noble and elegant English gentleman, who always does things that harm others without benefiting himself. It's impossible for him to wait to die for a Chinese person.

But he would be more than happy to let a Chinese person wait to die for him.

however……

boom!

A dazzling white light suddenly burst forth on the horizon, and in that instant, even the sun seemed to dim slightly.

"What happened?" O'Connor asked blankly, stopping at the cave entrance, too afraid to go out. Anyone with a normal mind could see that the outside world was more dangerous than the mummy.

Just as O'Connor had predicted, the next instant, a powerful shockwave propelled the sandstorm in.

The endless yellow sandstorm startled O'Connor and Jonathan, who hurriedly carried Eve back into the depths of the tomb and hid behind the statue.

But the mummies were unaware of this; they were simply mechanically carrying out Imhotep's orders to kill those before them and obtain the Book of the Sun.

So the staggering mummies turned their backs to the cave entrance and surrounded O'Connor and his two companions.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the shockwave arrived, and the powerful air pressure crashed directly onto the entire burial mound. O'Connor and his two companions felt the ground beneath them tremble, the stone slabs of the tomb above their heads rattle, and yellow sand kept falling.

The shockwave entered through the hole Cao Gui had created, instantly destroying the ten mummies who were still standing there dumbfounded.

The gale swirled and echoed in the tomb, instantly turning the ten mummies to shreds like a washing machine.

O'Connor and his two companions valued their lives highly, and since the statue was located in a sheltered position, although they were affected, the impact was not significant.

The shockwave came quickly and went quickly; in no time, the three of them crawled out of the yellow sand.

"Quick, Eve, chant the spell!" O'Connor urged.

“Yes, yes, hurry up and recite the incantation.” Jonathan quickly agreed.

This wasn't because they had a change of heart and wanted to kill Imhotep to save the world, but because such a powerful explosion meant that the battle over there must have been decided.

If Cao Gui wins, and they find out that they have no intention of helping, then they are doomed.

If Imhotep wins...that would be even worse!

"Okay, I'll find the spell right away."

Eve nodded repeatedly. She didn't have as many cunning schemes as these two English gentlemen, but she knew that Imhotep was a menace and had to be eliminated.

Eve hurriedly opened the Sun Sutra, and Jonathan quickly came over as well, even though he was a mediocre and uneducated man.

However, I do know a few ancient Egyptian characters, so I can help narrow down the possibilities.

With the brother and sister working together, the spell targeting those "devoured by insects" was quickly found.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; those who should leave should not stay!"

On the distant sand dunes of the burial mound, a purple light shone, and four illusory horses pulled a prison cart through Imhotep's body.
