I am the Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysterious-Chapter 314 - 278: Flying Head (Alliance Leader +1)

Chapter 314: Chapter 278: Flying Head (Alliance Leader +1)

Sang Que, guided by his heart, led Zheng Wujun through the red threads scattered all over the temple.

The Barrier here was indeed complex; some red threads required passing underneath them in a seemingly futile manner before finding the next exit, crucial despite appearances.

At one doorway, Sang Que and Zheng Wujun passed under the red thread back and forth five times, only then did his heart stop pulsing, indicating Sang Que to find the next opening.

During this process, Zheng Wujun could hardly resist asking Sang Que if he truly knew how to break through this Barrier.

For almost an hour, the two moved through the temple, eventually returning to the temple’s north entrance, where the ancient tree still stood in the darkness with lush branches and life.

Sang Que lifted the red thread blocking their way, and when Zheng Wujun crossed it, he stood frozen.

The ancient tree had disappeared, a sewer manhole opened at the edge of the square, other trees and vines were withered, and even the crescent moon had turned into a blood-red full moon.

Zheng Wujun hurried to the sewer’s edge, his pupils shrinking.

"Big brother!"

Zheng Wujun’s call awakened Zheng Xuan, lying below; his body had some stains, a slight stubble on his face, looking only a little weak, hardly resembling someone missing for two months.

"Why are you here?"

Zheng Xuan was equally surprised to see Zheng Wujun.

Zheng Wujun immediately reached out, "Let me pull you up."

As his hand extended, Zheng Wujun heard a sharp infant cry, vaguely seeing several small black shadows clinging to Zheng Xuan around the sewer.

Zheng Xuan did not grab Zheng Wujun’s hand; the previous rescue events were clear in his memory.

In Zheng Xuan’s experience, he felt he had been there only for about two days. He tried all methods to leave, but anytime he attempted to climb out, a myriad of baby spirits would appear in the darkness and drag him back.

Those baby spirits seemed to suggest staying there made one a ’good child’ and, when chosen, could leave with their mother.

"Let me!"

Sang Que also appeared at the sewer, pushing Zheng Wujun aside, reaching for Zheng Xuan.

"You’re here too?"

Seeing Sang Que surprised Zheng Xuan even more; although he was a PE teacher who never attended sports classes, Sang Que was still his student in his mind.

How could he let a student risk themselves to save him?

"Wujun, take her away. It’s dangerous here!"

Zheng Xuan shouted, Zheng Wujun stood still, "Big brother, she might be stronger than our grandpa."

Those words left Zheng Xuan’s mind frozen. If someone else said this, he’d think it was nonsense. His grandpa was one of the top ten masters in all of Huaxia. How could Sang Que, under 18, be more powerful than his grandpa, who trained for over sixty years?

Yet, it was Zheng Wujun who said it; he never lied, not even jokingly.

Zheng Wujun continued, "She was invited by Professor Ye himself to save you."

Zheng Xuan’s jaw nearly dropped in shock and awe; Professor Ye was a big name in the research institute, developing many scientific ghost-busting gadgets with his team.

Now, Zheng Xuan realized how thoroughly Sang Que had fooled him. That incident at the scrapyard, when the Golden Child was scared away, he thought it was his own doing. Now it seemed Sang Que must have done something to scare it away while acting as an innocent victim.

Also, the Golden Child within Huaxia and the Southern Ocean woman likely fell by her hand as well; he underestimated her capacity back then, attributing it to other factors.

This low profile at such a young age?

Zheng Xuan wiped his face with a bitter smile, "Truly, one cannot judge by appearances; the new waves push out the old. Do you know what happens if I grab your hand?"

Sang Que felt an agitated aura around, her heart racing.

"I know, don’t waste time!"

Both decisive, as soon as Sang Que uttered those words, Zheng Xuan wasted no more time, standing up to clasp hands with Sang Que.

The next instant, Sang Que appeared in the sewer, while Zheng Xuan was next to Zheng Wujun. Before Zheng Xuan could act, Zheng Wujun’s Heavenly Gang Ruler struck Zheng Xuan’s abdomen mercilessly.

The sharp cries of infants pierced the two’s eardrums; Zheng Xuan bent double, spewing a mouthful of blood, pain making veins bulge and sweat bead.

"Didn’t have to... hit so hard!"

Zheng Wujun was expressionless, pulling Zheng Xuan up.

Zheng Xuan understood, bleeding was better than going back with a belly full. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Demon fetuses do not discriminate between genders for parasitization; earlier, a team member was parasitized, and though they removed it promptly, he was teased for a year. He couldn’t see a pregnant woman without psychosomatic reactions, vomiting without end.

In the sewer, Sang Que saw densely stacked bleeding cloth bags around, contents wriggling inside, making infant cries and sounds.

She could clearly feel a suppressive force around, rendering Instant Teleportation ineffective.

Then, above, a sudden chilly wind gusted, many villagers dressed in South Ocean Mountain attire eerily appeared around the square, their forms hidden in darkness, glaring steadfastly at the sewer’s edge at Zheng Wujun and Zheng Xuan.

Crack! Crackle!

Bone snapping echoed; the forefront one, head still attached to organs, suddenly flew from shoulders, blood splattering, mouth open and lunging at the pair.

Zheng Wujun and Zheng Xuan retreated separately to dodge as successive bone crunches resounded, villagers’ heads detaching, flying about, launching attacks at them.

"Catch!"

Zheng Wujun threw his knife to Zheng Xuan, having previously applied a Divine Soldier Talisman as per Sang Que’s advice while navigating the temple.

Zheng Xuan caught the knife, and the two brothers stood back to back; one wielding the knife, the other swinging the Heavenly Gang Ruler, blasting two into fragments mid-air.

Below, Sang Que resisted the oppressive power, baby spirits emerged from bags, resembling death-time states, some embryonic.

The spirits climbed toward Sang Que, trying to ensnare her, trapping her in the sewer.

Sang Que, unfazed, released Yin Child and Deceitful Bride; Yin Child slapped them into dispersing with each swipe.

Deceitful Bride appeared abruptly behind Zheng Wujun, startling him to swing down the Heavenly Gang Ruler.

Luckily, Sang Que commanded Deceitful Bride in time; she flickered behind the headless villagers, standing still as her aura hastened decay across their bodies.

Detached heads couldn’t survive if bodies were destroyed.

The flying heads hastened back to bodies upon seeing this.

In the sewer, Sang Que held the copper mirror, capturing them one by one; in a blink, she had many baby spirits, with Yin Child dispersing others.

As the baby spirits dwindled, the suppressive force on Sang Que lightened, allowing her to Instant Teleport out of the sewer.

The villagers largely destroyed, those managing to retrieve heads fled, fearing Deceitful Bride.

Then, the three saw someone behind fleeing villagers with an old shotgun, aiming at them.

Zheng Xuan’s pupils contracted, darting in front of Zheng Wujun with a burst of speed.

BANG!

Gun smoke accompanied by the shot, but Zheng Xuan was unharmed.

Both he and Zheng Wujun were astounded, seeing Sang Que suddenly in front, almost against the gun barrel, holding it firmly, having taken the bullet head-on.
