Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 244: Chapter 155: Corrupted Awakened_2

However, he was merely a Fierce Tier Awakened, and although his basic attributes could match an Advanced General Tier, he lacked any movement skills. In the underground, the Vampire Count’s Wings were of no use, and he simply couldn’t shake off the Corrupted Warrior equipped with the Shadowless Step skill!

The opponent would occasionally catch up and strike him, and though every injury healed rapidly due to his Golden Embryo Origin’s restorative abilities, it still left Chu Xiu immensely frustrated, with an increasingly intense shroud of evil qi between his brows.

And the awakened pursuer kept up the chase, letting out a slightly manic laugh.

”You can’t escape. I’ve waited so long for you all, I won’t let you run away.”

”Are all the awakened in your world so spineless? Not even the courage to face a battle?”

This guy seemed to retain full divine wisdom and was clearly aware that Chu Xiu was an Awakened. Among the abyssal creatures Chu Xiu had encountered, only the Corpse King was like this, which left him with a contemplative look.

As he pondered, the Corrupted Awakened closed in again with that eerie stride.

At this moment, Chu Xiu estimated he had distanced himself at least ten leagues from the pit, so he stopped running and paused abruptly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as an intense black aura surged around him!

”You talk too much.”

With a cold snort, Chu Xiu reached out with a large hand, directly grabbing at the blade coming at him!

This scene made the Corrupted Warrior slightly dazed, then he was overjoyed!

This long blade of his was a Treasure Grade General Tier equipment, and Chu Xiu audaciously stretched out his hand to grab it. Even if he had some defense skill, the Corrupted Warrior was confident he could chop off his entire hand with a single blow!

Without hesitation, he directly unleashed the Charging Slash skill!

However, the moment the blade struck the palm, the Corrupted Warrior sensed something amiss.

Perhaps due to the bizarre black aura, the resistance from the hand was significantly greater than before, making it feel as if he were striking a piece of solid metal instead of human flesh!

Suddenly, with a crack, the long blade came to an abrupt halt and could not descend further. The Corrupted Warrior looked up, only to find the sharp blade had been forcibly caught in Chu Xiu’s palm bones!

This left the Corrupted Warrior stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Was the bone of this Awakened harder than his blade?

Before he could recover from the shock, two Frenzied Celestial Demon Hands suddenly stretched out, gripping his arms tightly!

The Corrupted Warrior tried to break free but was horrified to discover that with the addition of the eerie black aura, the strength of these bizarre arms had nearly doubled, and their defense had further enhanced!

The tentacles on his body struck out continuously, but this time they couldn’t so much as damage the solid Magma Armor!

Chu Xiu had only fled to distance himself from the pit’s center, to avoid being surrounded by the subterranean humans or encountering a more formidable being. Naturally, it wasn’t out of fear of this guy.

The Corrupted Awakened before him was strong, but still not a match for Chu Xiu.

In the terrified gaze of the Corrupted Warrior, Chu Xiu didn’t hesitate to drive the Celestial Demon Hand and forcefully yank outward!

”Ah!!!”

Amidst a piercing scream, the Corrupted Warrior’s arms were torn off!

Dark green blood splattered, sizzling with corrosion upon contact with the rocks. The severed limbs writhed on the ground, and from the stumps, instead of muscle, there were faint green mycelia twisting together, enclosing the bones.

”So this is corruption.”

This bizarre sight made even Chu Xiu’s scalp tingle. He looked at the wailing Corrupted Warrior before him and, without hesitation, swung the Celestial Demon Hand again, smashing his legs to pieces!

Then he continued to punch until all the tentacles from the Corrupted Warrior’s broken limbs were crushed, only then did he stop.

The Corrupted Warrior lay on the ground, barely alive, completely losing his ability to fight.

”Tell me, how many of you are there? What are the respective tiers? What’s at the bottom of the pit?”

”When you said ’I’ve finally waited for you all’, what do you mean? Did you know we were coming?”

Holding his right hand, Chu Xiu asked indifferently.

The reason he used his palm to directly counter the Corrupted Warrior was to capture him in one move and force out more information.

Compared to those abyssal creatures, he seemed to have considerable cognitive abilities, perhaps capable of being communicated with to obtain valuable intel.

In a normal battle, even if Chu Xiu could win, the opponent could use the agile body technique to flee.

In fact, even though Chu Xiu had cultivated the Golden Flesh and Nether Bone to the Fourth Layer, possessing +328 skeleton defense, blocking that blade still wasn’t pleasant.

Currently, there was a deep crack on his thumb bone, almost split in two, with countless tiny bone fragments like steel needles piercing into his flesh, making it difficult for the Golden Embryo Origin to completely heal in a short time.

Furthermore, the toxin and corruption had turned his entire hand a bluish-purple, with the skin rapidly festering.

And this was after he used the Unjust Death Substitute, sacrificing hundreds of Yin Ghosts to share half the damage, otherwise, his entire hand might truly have been severed in a single blow!

After all, this was a full-powered strike from a General Tier Awakened using a skill, its power not to be underestimated.

If nothing useful could be extracted, suffering this injury would be in vain.

However, facing Chu Xiu’s questioning, the fallen Corrupted Warrior let out a mocking laugh: ”You, you’re forcing me to talk? Hahaha, I’m in this state, and you still want to interrogate me?”
