American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 273: You’ve Found a Way to Seek Death
The convoy sped along, arriving at the edge of the sandstorm when Xu Yi suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"
But it was too late, the off-road vehicle shook violently as something exploded beneath it.
The explosion wasn’t fatal, simply flipping the off-road vehicle onto the ground, but a special fluctuation followed immediately after, buzzing in Xu Yi’s ears, causing a momentary daze before he returned to normal.
Xu Yi was somewhat surprised; with his current elite body condition, he shouldn’t be affected this way even if he were in the center of an explosion.
"An alchemy bomb?!" A term flashed through his mind.
This reaction, this effect, it was the only thing he could think of.
Could it be that the Ring of Destruction was trying to ambush him?
He wasn’t wrong to think so; alchemy bombs were a type of alchemy product that had long been lost to history.
In his memory, only the Ring of Destruction possessed the ability to create such lost alchemy products.
Xu Yi’s muscles tensed, ready to activate "Blood as Sacred" at any moment.
He knew if this was an assault by the Ring of Destruction, a flood of relentless attacks would certainly follow.
What a pity for the rescue team members, the driver passed out over the steering wheel, the fluctuation from the alchemy bomb was soul-targeting, hardly something one could guard against.
"They’ve all fainted, hurry up! Once we find the Guiding Holy Map, we’ll leave immediately!" came a hoarse male voice suddenly.
The Guiding Holy Map? Xu Yi was momentarily taken aback.
While he was stunned, someone pulled open the car door.
Xu Yi instinctively clenched his fist; the power gathered in this fist was enough to shatter a small mountain, but he suddenly stopped, his facial expression a bit blank.
"Mo Yi! There’s someone still awake here!" a large, fat man pointed at Xu Yi and exclaimed.
"Idiot, didn’t I tell you before? Don’t use real names, use code names!" came a raspy female voice.
"Oh, oh! Scorpion, there’s someone still awake here, could it be there’s something wrong with your alchemy bomb?" The fat man’s forte was obedience.
"You’ve already said it, what’s the use of switching back now!"
One didn’t need to see her face to know the woman speaker was likely wearing an expression of helplessness.
Mo Yi peeked into the car, looking at the alert Xu Yi and muttered to himself, "It shouldn’t be! Could it be that the old cripple fooled me, selling me inferior quality materials?"
"Eight out of ten times, that’s the case! Just one look at that old cripple and you can tell he’s no good, his eyes always sticking to you, lecherous and with a sleazy face," the fat man cursed angrily.
The two of them began chatting as if nobody else was around.
Xu Yi felt like he was Ye Gucheng facing Ximen Chuixue at the pinnacle of the Forbidden City, with Ye Gucheng preparing to unleash his secret technique ’Heavenly Flight’, only to surprisingly find a naive rookie who had just entered the martial world on the rooftop.
It wasn’t the Ring of Destruction but two clumsy thieves, no, three to be precise.
Another man with a scarred face was rummaging through things in the vehicle behind, and though he wore a mask, the huge scar that spread to his forehead was far too conspicuous.
"Look, there’s a safe here!" the fat man pointed at the metal box at Xu Yi’s feet and shouted.
"Kid, if you’re smart, open the box quickly, otherwise I can’t guarantee that your head won’t gain an extra hole!"
Scarface, upon hearing the noise, came over, holding a gun aimed at Xu Yi’s head, a flash of bloodlust appearing in his eyes.

A tough character? Xu Yi understood instantly.
The first two were merely bumbling thieves, but the man before him was definitely a ruthless thug. Xu Yi had encountered many sadistic killers before, and he was not mistaken in his feeling.
The man was also an exorcist, with at least the strength of someone in the elite ranks.
But for Xu Yi, this man was just a slightly stronger ant; he’d already sentenced him to death.
Most annoying when someone points a gun at me•jpg!
"Don’t you recognize me?" Xu Yi, however, didn’t immediately make a move.
The Guiding Holy Map mentioned by these people oddly reminded him of the "Ghostly Talisman."
A group of Egyptologists couldn’t decipher the Ghostly Talisman, but he’d gleaned its name from the mouths of a trio of crooks; this gave him a new idea.
"Who are you? Why should we know you?" The fat man looked down at Xu Yi disdainfully, feeling that he was truly stupid for not understanding the situation even now.
Even if you’re the son of an Arab billionaire, should their hearts harden and the trigger be pulled, it wouldn’t stop them from dying on the spot.
Xu Yi’s ability to disguise his ’Body of Demigod’ was too strong, and these people could not spot any flaws.
The chubby man thought the pretty boy in front of him would yell and scream and then say something like "My dad is so-and-so," but instead, he patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "That’s good, that’s good!"
It seemed that even "Xu Yi, the titled exorcist," wasn’t familiar to every exorcist, especially in a place as far from America as Egypt.
Xu Yi’s action confused the chubby man; he wondered if the person in front of him was a fugitive.
"Open the box! Right now!"
A flicker of murderous intent flashed through Scarface’s eyes. He didn’t want any fuss and moved the pistol closer by two inches, pressing it against Xu Yi’s forehead.
The Vanno bomb, because of its inferior-quality materials, had a poor effect that could only knock someone out for two minutes at most, and time was almost up.
You’ve chosen a path to death!
Xu Yi glanced at Scarface but chose to open the metal box, wanting to verify if these people truly knew what the "Ghostly Talisman" was.
As soon as the box was opened, Mo Yi searched inside it, and upon discovering the Ghostly Talisman, his eyes lit up, and then he nodded at Scarface.
The trio of robbers was happy, and so was Xu Yi; he had finally found someone who knew the goods!
"This guy knows Sister Mo Yi’s name, what do we do?" the chubby man suddenly asked.
"Kill him!" Scarface didn’t utter a word before he thought about pulling the trigger.
But Mo Yi pushed Scarface’s hand away, "Forget it, don’t complicate things. Let’s get out of here! It’s not like I’m the only one with this name."
Scarface put away the gun; if the person concerned had no objections, he certainly wouldn’t insist on making trouble.
"We’re going to..." Scarface was half-way through his sentence when he suddenly turned pale and aimed his gun all around.
The rescue team was already regaining consciousness. They were all one in a million elites. If it wasn’t for the unexpectedly effective ancient alchemy bomb, they would never have been in such a dire situation.
"No one moves, or I’ll kill him!"
Scarface suddenly had a flash of inspiration, aimed the gun at Xu Yi, and took him as a hostage.
The rescue team looked at Scarface as if he were a fool.
Of all the people to take as a hostage, it had to be Mr. Xu Yi. They feared Xu Yi could kill the three stupid thieves just by lifting a finger.
Don’t they see they haven’t even opened their holster? Such is their absolute trust in Mr. Xu Yi!
But soon their eyes went wide.
Xu Yi shakily got out of the car and even raised his hands, "Yes! You mustn’t shoot, I don’t want to die!"
What acting worthy of an Oscar winner! Mr. Xu Yi, if you go to Hollywood and don’t win an Oscar, then all the judges of that year should be executed!
Xu Yi winked at the rescue team captain behind the robbers’ backs.
Although the captain didn’t know what Xu Yi was planning, he understood the signal and cooperated in acting out a "cop-and-robber hostage drama," ultimately watching as the three robbers took Xu Yi away into the swirling sandstorm.
As the sandstorm hit them, Scarface pulled out a magic artifact that emitted light to repel the sandstorm and protect the four of them.
"What shall we do with this guy?" the chubby man asked, pointing at Xu Yi.
"Take him with us for now!" Scarface wasn’t feeling charitable; he was afraid the others would catch up, and then they could use Xu Yi as a hostage.
Xu Yi was very cooperative, even excessively so, voluntarily putting on the Self-Destructing Collar.
While the two men watched over Xu Yi, Mo Yi frowned at the Ghostly Talisman, muttering to himself, which made Xu Yi even more certain that the other party definitely knew what it was.
The quartet trudged through the sandstorm, occasionally stopping to allow Mo Yi to decipher the Guiding Holy Map.
They arrived at the center of the sandstorm, where sands howled around them like wild beasts.
"Stay close to me! Don’t lose track of me!"
Mo Yi dropped this line and moved ahead through the sandstorm on a strange trajectory.
After an indeterminate length of time, the view suddenly opened up, the sandstorm disappeared, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the huge object in front of them.
It was a massive pyramid, so large that its end was not visible at a single glance.
What was most eerie was that the pyramid was inverted, its tip buried into the ground, with its base pointed skyward.
"Indeed, professional tasks require professionals!"
Xu Yi’s eyes sparkled at that moment; he sensed an unusual presence lingering in the air, coming from that golden sun.
