Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

When Zhao Rong faced the Egyptian mummies, he immediately saw through their disguise. ”You’re the goons sent by Wang Jingang,” he declared. ”You aren’t Egyptian mummies at all, just a bunch of villains...”

Hearing this, the assistant stepped forward in disbelief. ”Brother Zhao Rong, are you saying these people wrapped in white bandages are really just impostors?”

Zhao Rong explained, ”A real Egyptian mummy’s carbon signature would date it to at least two or three thousand years ago. However, the carbon signature on these people is the same age as our own. Therefore, I am one hundred percent certain that every single one of them is an impostor. Not one is a real Egyptian mummy.”

Upon hearing Zhao Rong’s explanation, realization dawned on the three women. Looking at the villains wrapped in bandages, one of them exclaimed, ”Of all the things to disguise yourselves as, you chose Egyptian mummies? Thank goodness for Brother Zhao Rong’s Eyes of Golden Flame! You almost had us completely fooled.”

”Eat this, you posers!” Lili shouted, stepping forward. She picked up a brick from the ground and hurled it at the mummy closest to her.

”Take this!” Yu Lan cried, grabbing a smooth stone and flinging it at the stomach of a mummy in the back row. ”That’ll teach you scoundrels to play tricks!”

Xuelian snatched a throwing knife from Zhao Rong’s pocket and tossed it blindly into the crowd. ”There are so many of you, I don’t even have to aim,” she taunted. ”I’m sure to hit one of you villains...”

The attacks found their marks. Lili’s brick split one impostor’s head open, leaving him bleeding profusely. Yu Lan’s stone slammed into another’s stomach, causing it to cave inward. Xuelian’s throwing knife killed a third man instantly.

Only then did the impostors tear the white bandages from their faces. Panting and sweating profusely, one of them grumbled, ”I can’t believe you saw through our disguise. It was so convincing...”

”Well, it’s for the best,” another added, gasping for air. ”Now that you’ve exposed us, we don’t have to suffocate in these hot bandages anymore!”

”But even though you’ve uncovered our true identities,” a third snarled, ”you still won’t escape death. We are elite assassins, hired by Wang Jingang for a hefty price! Now, we’re going to eliminate all five of you!”

When the three women and the assistant heard the villains’ audacious threat, they just stepped forward and laughed. ”You brainless fools, how dare you spout such nonsense in front of Brother Zhao Rong? Just wait. Once he makes his move, he’ll wipe every last one of you out.”

Lili stepped forward again. ”You poser mummies might be alive this second, but in the next, you’ll be dead at Brother Zhao Rong’s hands!”

”Go to hell, you fakers!” Yu Lan added.

Xuelian said dismissively, ”Brother Zhao Rong only needs to blow a single breath to kill villains like you.”

The assistant raised his Flamethrower, ready for battle. ”We don’t even need Brother Zhao Rong to handle a hundred of you. I alone can burn you all to ash with this!”

However, before the assistant could finish his threat, the hundred-plus villains instantly transformed. When Zhao Rong and his group of five saw that the impostors had all turned into magical beasts, they were utterly stunned.

Lili stared, aghast. ”I can’t believe it! There are over a hundred magical beasts hiding in this eerie hospital!”

Yu Lan sighed. ”These guys are masters of deception. First mummies, then humans, and now magical beasts. They really know how to put on a show.”

Xuelian’s eyes widened. ”Even if you are magical beasts, you can’t escape Brother Zhao Rong’s peerless Martial Arts!”

The assistant, still holding his Flamethrower, warned them, ”Even though you’ve transformed, this flamethrower can still burn you to a pile of ash!”

Before the heroes could finish speaking, the hundred-plus magical beasts let out a crazed, arrogant laugh. ”If you think you can eliminate us with blades, clubs, water, or fire, then you are far too simple-minded,” one of them roared. ”We are true magical beasts from the Demon Beast Mountain Range! We fear neither fire nor water, and certainly not your primitive weapons! You could say we possess an Indestructible Body!”

Hearing that the magical beasts possessed an Indestructible Body, the three women and the assistant looked at Zhao Rong with worry. ”Brother Zhao Rong, what do we do?” one asked. ”How can we possibly fight them if that’s true?”

”I refuse to believe you flesh-and-blood beasts are immune to a blade!” Lili shouted. She grabbed a machete from nearby and charged forward. ”Let’s see how you like this!”

She swung the machete with all her might, striking the head of the nearest magical beast. To her astonishment, it was like hitting solid rock. The beast was completely unharmed, and the impact actually chipped the edge of her machete.

Staring at her ruined weapon, Lili swallowed nervously. ”Unbelievable... they really are impervious to blades.”

Just then, Yu Lan picked up another smooth stone and stepped forward. ”A blade might not cut them,” she theorized, ”but they can’t be immune to blunt force. The impact from a stone like this causes much wider trauma than a simple cut!”

As she spoke, Yu Lan, who was an expert with thrown stones, hurled one straight at the head of a nearby magical beast.
