Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Type 008 Heavy Armor Corpse Demon

Chu Xiu’s cold and stern words left Guan Ke stunned and at a loss.

She had long known that Chu Xiu wasn’t an easy person to get along with, but she always thought he was just a bit reclusive, ultimately a normal person.

But at this moment, Chu Xiu was exuding a violent aura, his black eyes devoid of any emotion. She had no doubt that if she took one step forward, he would, without any hesitation, unleash a deadly strike!

”You...”

Guan Ke opened her mouth, then bit her teeth hard and quickly said, ”Chu Xiu! You don’t know how strong that monster is! I’ve been hiding the truth before...”

”I know.”

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu’s lips curled into a mocking smile: ”Do you think I’m as clueless as those people in the stronghold? Unable to even notice the extra battle scars in the apartment building?”

”Isn’t it just a Level 5 High Tier profession? Get lost, don’t waste my time!”

Chu Xiu’s words left Guan Ke completely stunned in place.

She always thought she had been disguising herself well, but she didn’t expect that Chu Xiu had already noticed and could even accurately judge her level!

What kind of terrifying observational ability is this?

And he didn’t care at all about her Level 5 High Tier status! Even held her in contempt!

This made Guan Ke unable to understand, what makes him so confident? Him, a Support Profession, what gives him the right?

But... the attack Chu Xiu just charged out with made her realize that whether in speed or power, he was above her!

This gave her a huge sense of defeat.

She couldn’t help but entertain thoughts of competing with Chu Xiu, but this impulse was suppressed in just an instant.

Because she felt an extremely dangerous aura on Chu Xiu!

Guan Ke took a deep look at Chu Xiu and finally decided to follow her intuition—she stepped down the stairs.

When her figure completely disappeared, Chu Xiu withdrew his gaze.

Shen Zhuo and Yun Lu could not die, but Guan Ke didn’t matter, even though her talent was much higher than the other two.

The reason was simple: she was of no use to Chu Xiu.

What does an A-level profession matter, or an S-level talent?

For someone useless, whether A-level or SSS-level, he wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest to make a move.

Guan Ke had potential, but could she be greater than Chu Xiu in the long run?

If she were a strong A-level profession in the early stage, or a fool easy to utilize, Chu Xiu might consider offering some benefits to win her over.

But unfortunately, she was as wary of everyone as Chu Xiu, making it too difficult to exploit, and she was a completely late-game profession.

By the time Guan Ke’s talent materialized, Chu Xiu would have already left her far behind, possibly exceeding her by two or three tiers.

”Especially in the early stages, every bit of resources is extremely precious, allowing one to build an advantage like a snowball until it becomes an insurmountable chasm!”

In such a situation, Chu Xiu couldn’t possibly yield any benefits, just like how the big shots of Qingbei wouldn’t give up startup funds to woo lower-tier universities.

He also didn’t care about revealing his true nature in front of Guan Ke, what bad impact that might have; a demon cultivator’s essence couldn’t possibly be hidden for a lifetime, otherwise, wouldn’t that become truly benevolent? When facing a scramble for interests, one must act decisively.

As for small matters like Guan Ke going to Shen Zhuo and Yun Lu to speak ill of him, he cared even less, as Guan Ke’s strength couldn’t be concealed due to the Blood Moon Sense, and after tonight, her trust with the people in the stronghold would collapse.

”Now then—”

Chu Xiu twirled the Bone Spear, aimed at the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost not far away, and his lips curled into a faint smile: ”There’s just one last problem remaining.”

As if sensing Chu Xiu’s disdain, the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost let out a low roar, suddenly lunged, swinging the Swinging Hammer on its right arm, crashing down towards Chu Xiu from above!

With its power, if this strike landed, Chu Xiu would undoubtedly be turned into a puddle of flesh!

”Boom!”

The Swinging Hammer smashed heavily onto the concrete ground, debris flying, leaving a large pit in its wake. However, Chu Xiu’s figure had somehow appeared five meters away, not only unharmed but not even a speck of dust on him.

Missing a strike, the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost became even angrier, frantically charging at him. Chu Xiu grinned, not retreating but advancing. Just as they were about to clash, his figure suddenly sidestepped eerily, easily avoiding the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost’s Sharp Claws attack, while his Bone Spear thrust out, striking its neck accurately!

In an instant, a large amount of pitch-black, viscous blood spurted out like oil, even its Tough Skin couldn’t withstand this strike!

Trait: Armor Piercing!

”Roar!!!”

The Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost swung its arm in rage, but Chu Xiu’s figure eerily shifted again, easily avoiding the strike, and his Bone Spear added another wound to its tally.

Moreover, with the Bleeding trait, even with this corpse ghost’s incredibly abnormal Life Recovery ability, the wounds created couldn’t heal for a while!

Like this, Chu Xiu agilely maneuvered around the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost, occasionally thrusting a strike, like a nimble boxer toying with a clumsy brute, with the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost unable to harm Chu Xiu in the slightest, while acquiring new wounds itself!

If Guan Ke saw this scene, she would certainly be shocked speechless; the frenzied giant beast that had chased her down, in front of Chu Xiu, seemed like a ridiculous clown!

In truth, it wasn’t that the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost was too weak, after all, it was a Level 8 monster, also possessing the Blood Moon’s amplification.

It was simply that Chu Xiu’s abilities restrained it too well.

Constitution Attribute is a comprehensive of various attributes like Power, Agility, Endurance, and so on.

Excluding a 50% Power Amplification, this Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost’s Basic Constitution should be between 16 to 19.

This value isn’t much higher than Chu Xiu’s Constitution.

Moreover, it was evidently a Power-Type creature, meaning its Power Attribute would be higher than this value, correspondingly, its attributes in other areas such as flexibility would decline.

Although an increase in Power provides an amplification to Agility, it would at most elevate its Agility to Chu Xiu’s level.

Then the terrifying thing happened.

Chu Xiu had the Mist Step at the level of ’Minor Accomplishment’, and a Spirit as high as 7.24! While, in contrast, the Spirit of Corpse Ghosts is generally low.

This allowed Chu Xiu to absolutely overwhelm this Corpse Ghost both in terms of body technique and reaction speed!

Not to mention, the two traits of his Bone Spear happened to restrain this Corpse Ghost!

This resulted in the current one-sided slaughter scenario!

Even when the opponent activated the Power Burst skill, it still didn’t cause Chu Xiu much trouble.

Finally, after countless holes were opened on its body, the bloodlight in the eyes of the 008 Type Corpse Ghost began to fade, replaced by a look of fear.

It turned to flee, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

Extended bleeding weakened its body extremely.

”Puff!”

With a soft sound, Chu Xiu’s Bone Spear precisely pierced through the gap in its Insect Armor Defense, inserting into the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost’s heart.

”Boom!”

The heavy corpse slammed to the ground, billowing clouds of dust, as the pleasant sound of a notification rang in Chu Xiu’s ears simultaneously.
