309: Chapter 309 The Green-Haired Mummified Corpse Emerges from the Coffin! Chu Ling's Undying Bone Power!

The lid of the blood-colored crystal coffin flew dozens of meters away.

It slammed heavily against the edge of the black metal altar, letting out a dull, thunderous boom.

A withered hand covered in long green hair gripped the edge of the coffin tightly.

Immediately after, another hand reached out.

A behemoth, standing a full three meters tall, slowly stood upright from within the coffin.

This was a mummified corpse wearing tattered bronze armor.

There wasn't a single piece of healthy flesh on its body.

Its shriveled skin clung tightly to its bones, its surface covered in long green hair.

Inside its two hollow eye sockets, two clumps of scarlet ghost fire flickered, exuding a bloodthirsty cruelty.

A nauseating stench of decay instantly filled the entire underground ice cave.

"Suppressed for a hundred thousand years... I finally smell the scent of a living person."

The mummy opened its mouth, revealing a row of jagged black fangs.

Its voice was raspy, as if two pieces of dry tree bark were rubbing against each other.

Mary quickly pinched her high nose.

The black bat wings on her back flapped vigorously, her face full of disgust.

"What kind of trash breed is this? The smell on its body is a hundred times worse than a dead rat in a sewer."

"Boss, I don't want to touch this filthy thing; just looking at it makes my eyes hurt."

Mary took two steps back and hid behind Su Yang.

Qin Xueji's face turned pale from the stench, and she covered her mouth, fighting back the urge to gag.

Chu Ling, however, felt no discomfort whatsoever.

She was an Unmelting Bone and had a natural immunity to corpse qi.

Looking at the green-haired mummy on the altar, a flash of excitement crossed Chu Ling's icy-blue eyes.

She let go of Su Yang's arm and took a step forward.

"A hundred-thousand-year-old antique? This is perfect for testing the durability of my current body."

Chu Ling was wearing an icy-blue long dress today.

As she moved, the hem of her skirt fluttered in the cold air, revealing a pair of fair and slender jade legs.

Her movements were light as she tapped her toes gently on the ice.

She shot forward like an arrow from a bow, charging directly toward the top of the altar.

"Chu Ling, don't get it too dirty."

Su Yang had his hands in the pockets of his casual pants, his tone indifferent.

He didn't use any Spells, simply standing still to watch the battle.

Hearing Su Yang's words, Chu Ling turned back and flashed a smile: "Don't worry, Boss. I'll freeze it into an ice block before smashing it."

Seeing a delicate woman charging at it, the red light in the green-haired mummy's eye sockets flared up.

"You reckless girl! Offer your blood to me!"

The mummy let out a hideous roar and pushed off with its legs.

Nine thick black iron chains were yanked, clattering loudly.

The mummy's massive body actually leaped into mid-air.

It spread its hands, which were tipped with long black nails.

Like an eagle snatching a chick, it pounced toward Chu Ling.

The mummy was very fast.

It left a series of green afterimages in the air, bringing with it a foul wind.

Facing the oncoming mummy, Chu Ling did not dodge; instead, she met it head-on.

She raised her fair, slender right fist and punched directly at the mummy's claws.

Two fists, one large and one small.

They collided violently in mid-air.

Bang!

A dull impact sound echoed through the ice cave.

The surrounding giant ice pillars shook, shedding ice shards.

The hard skeleton the mummy took pride in actually let out a crisp 'crack' the moment it struck Chu Ling's fist.

The bone in the mummy's right arm snapped into two, and green corpse water sprayed from the break.

"How is this possible!"

The mummy let out a howl of pain.

Its massive body was sent flying back by the immense counter-force, slamming heavily onto the stone steps of the altar.

It smashed a crater into the hard black metal steps.

Chu Ling was a top-tier Unmelting Bone in the zombie hierarchy!

The strength of her Physical Body was such that even a Flying Sword would struggle to leave a mark.

How could an ordinary green-haired mummy compare?

"Too weak. In a hundred thousand years, this little bit of green hair is all you've grown?"

Chu Ling landed steadily on the altar.

She looked down at the mummy, her voice dripping with disdain.

The mummy struggled to crawl back up.

The red light in its eyes became even more frenzied.

It seemed to realize that the woman before it was no ordinary human.

"Roar!"

The mummy roared toward the sky.

The surrounding black iron chains suddenly lit up with eerie red runes.

The mummy opened its cavernous mouth and inhaled sharply.

The residual red liquid in the blood-colored crystal coffin...

...transformed into a pillar of blood and was sucked directly into the mummy's stomach.

After swallowing the red liquid.

The green hair on the mummy's body quickly fell off, and its shriveled muscles actually began to swell.

Its body, which was originally only three meters tall, instantly shot up to five meters!

Its entire skin turned dark red.

It was as if it were clad in a layer of indestructible blood-colored armor.

The mummy's aura climbed steadily.

It surged directly from the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Die for me!"

The mutated mummy's strength increased greatly, and it casually tore off a black iron chain.

It used the thick iron chain as a whip.

With a sharp whistle that tore through the air, it lashed out violently at Chu Ling.

The surface of the chain was coated in a dense blood-shale aura, its power terrifying; the air distorted wherever it passed.

Chu Ling frowned slightly, but she advanced instead of retreating.

Her hands quickly formed seals, and a bone-chilling aura of Yin coldness erupted from her body.

"Ice Seal."

A deep blue cold current surged from Chu Ling's hands, colliding directly with the lashing chain.

Wherever the cold current passed, the moisture in the air instantly froze.

The thick iron chain was frozen into a giant icicle in mid-air, losing its original power.

Chu Ling stepped forward and kicked the frozen chain.

Clatter! The chain shattered into countless ice shards, scattering across the ground.

Seeing this, the mummy discarded the broken chain in its hand and swung its massive fist, like an out-of-control tank, madly smashing toward Chu Ling.

The two engaged in a fierce melee on the altar.

The sounds of fist-to-flesh impacts were constant.

Though Chu Ling was petite, her strength completely overwhelmed the mummy.

With every collision, deep cracks would be beaten into the blood-colored armor on the mummy's body.

Standing below, Su Yang watched the battle on the altar and shook his head slightly.

"Chu Ling, stop playing. The blood-shale aura on this thing is too heavy; you can't freeze its Origin."

Hearing Su Yang's words, Chu Ling immediately stopped and retreated more than ten meters.

"Understood, Boss." Chu Ling nodded obediently.

The mummy took the chance to catch its breath, its dark-red eyes staring fixedly at Su Yang.

It felt a fatal threat coming from Su Yang.

Su Yang pulled his right hand out of his pocket.

Without any extra nonsense, a ball of golden Pure Yang True Fire instantly condensed in his palm.

The dazzling light illuminated the dark ice cave as bright as day.

"You've lived for a hundred thousand years; this stinking skin should have been burned long ago."

Su Yang flicked his finger.

A golden flame the size of a soybean transformed into a streak of golden light, instantly traversing dozens of meters to land accurately on the mummy's chest.

The mummy didn't even have time to react.

The moment the Pure Yang True Fire touched the corpse qi, it was like a spark falling into a gasoline barrel.

Whoosh—!

The golden flames instantly flared up, completely swallowing the five-meter-tall mummy.

"Argh—!!! What fire is this! It hurts so much!"

The mummy struggled madly within the flames, letting out a shrill scream.

The blood-colored armor it took pride in...

...instantly melted into black pus under the high temperature of the Pure Yang True Fire.

When an evil entity encountered the extremely masculine and positive Pure Yang True Fire, its only fate was to be reduced to ash.

In just five short seconds.

The mummy's screams came to an abrupt halt.

Its massive body was completely burned into a pile of white ash that drifted away with the wind.

Peace returned to the altar, leaving only the empty blood-colored crystal coffin.

Su Yang stepped forward and walked onto the altar.

Bai Li, Mary, and Qin Xueji followed closely behind.

Su Yang arrived before the blood-colored crystal coffin and looked down into it.

The bottom of the coffin was covered in a thick layer of black sludge.

In the center of the sludge was a circular stone plate.

The stone plate was carved with complex spatial formation runes.

Su Yang took out the ascension jade plate from the System space.

The needle on the jade plate spun frantically before pointing dead straight at the circular stone plate at the bottom of the coffin.

"This coffin is a diversion. The real entrance is below."

Su Yang clenched his right fist and punched the bottom of the coffin directly.

Bang!

The blood-colored crystal coffin instantly shattered into pieces.

The circular stone plate at the bottom was exposed.

The formation runes on the stone plate lit up with a faint blue light.

Su Yang did not hesitate and stepped onto the stone plate, injecting Pure Yang True Qi into it.

Rumble!

The entire underground ice cave shook violently.

The surrounding giant ice pillars snapped and crashed down one after another.

The circular stone plate slowly sank downward, revealing a bottomless black passage.

An icy wind blew out from inside the passage, mixed with a thick smell of blood.

This smell of blood...

...was a hundred times more intense than that of the mummy just now.

In the darkness, it felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching the group at the entrance of the passage.

From deep within the passage came the heavy sound of metal chains dragging, making one's heart hair stand on end!
