Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 268: Chapter 163: Ghost General with 4000 Constitution (Part 2)

Without any hesitation, he activated the Nether Demon Eyes, directly locking onto the rapidly running figure of Huang Guohua.

Suddenly, a shadow overtook him, rushing into Chu Xiu’s line of sight at incredible speed!

It was a figure in military uniform, with skin silver-white like steel. Its face was square and expressionless, catching up with Huang Guohua in an instant while its left hand transformed into a knife hand, chopping towards Huang Guohua’s shoulder!

Huang Guohua shouted fiercely, his right fist blooming with a bright blue light. Even from a thousand meters away, Chu Xiu could feel the astonishing power contained within!

The next moment, the azure light fist, with unmatched might, struck the military figure, instantly creating a huge cyclone with the point of impact at its center, breaking nearby trees and sending them skyward.

But as the dust settled, a terrifying scene unfolded. The military figure merely lifted its arm slightly, catching Huang Guohua’s fist with its palm. The powerful blow didn’t even cause it to sway!

This scene caused Chu Xiu’s expression to change dramatically. If he guessed correctly, that eerie silver-white figure must be the ”Colonel” as spoken of by the corrupted Awakened!

The difference was, he had thought this so-called ”Colonel” would be strong, but he hadn’t expected it to be this strong!

Was it that easy to casually take on a Level 9 Martial Artist’s high-tier skill?

Before Chu Xiu could recover from the shock, he heard a ”crack”, and Huang Guohua’s hand was broken!

And to say this old man was ruthless, after his arm was broken, he directly and unhesitatingly turned his other hand into a knife, severing the hand caught by the Colonel!

Immediately, Spiritual Light surged from his body again, his speed faster, like grasping at the last strand of life-saving straw, he rushed towards Chu Xiu, shouting anxiously again, ”Chen, save me! I am willing to repay with [Legend] equipment! Not only that, but when we return, my entire wealth will be yours!”

”I promise, this time there will be no reneging in any form!”

Faced with his plea for help, Chu Xiu’s brows furrowed tighter, seemingly contemplating something hastily.

At this moment, the panel projected by the Nether Demon Eyes appeared before him.

[Corrupted Awakened (???)]

[Tier] King Tier? Level

[Attributes] Constitution??? Spirit??? Energy Level???

[Skill] ???

[Traits] ???

[Talent] ???

Almost all question marks, yet Chu Xiu still keenly captured the key information within.

King Tier!

”This should be the biggest obstacle I’ve faced in nearby operations,”

Chu Xiu squinted his eyes.

Currently, as he intercepts parts collected by the Underground Calamity nearby, he can both harvest [Pollutants] and delay the growth of the Underground Calamity’s power, while also gaining a considerable amount of experience and Cause and Effect Points.

Ordinary corrupted Awakened no longer posed a threat to him. Even if four or five showed up together, he could handle them effortlessly.

Simply put, although Chu Xiu didn’t dare return to the deep pit to confront the main force of corrupted beings, he had already turned this vicinity into his perfect leveling ground.

But now the Colonel had disrupted this.

Its speed was exceedingly fast, enabling it to reach the battlefield first. If it wasn’t eliminated, Chu Xiu could no longer intercept and kill the corrupted beings with the same ease.

Even if he hovered in the air without descending, merely commanding the Ghostly Legion to fight, losses could outweigh gains.

If the Ghost General accidentally got killed, it would be a huge loss.

”It’s just right that the effect of the [General Order] isn’t fully exhausted yet.”

”In that case, let’s first probe this guy’s strengths!”

With a thought, the scattered Ghostly Legion swiftly returned, gathering around the Ghost General. With a mighty roar from the Ghost General, a large amount of black mist was absorbed into its body. With the energy supplement from other Ghosts, the Ghost General’s Basic Constitution soared another five hundred points!

Simultaneously, more energy concentrated in his left hand, forming a vortex as large as a water tank, with dense death energy gathering within!

This was the maximum energy the Ghost General could mobilize and gather, formed by the Hundred Ghost Manipulation Technique at the cost of entering a weakened state for at least thirty Fierce Ghosts and hundreds of Fierce Ghosts, creating the most potent Life-taking Skill!

The energy it contained was three times that used against corrupted Awakened before!

And at the moment of its completion, Huang Guohua coincidentally brought the Colonel close by. With a thunderous roar from the Ghost General, the orb in its hand burst into numerous black lines, rushing towards the Colonel in an encircling manner!

”Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

A multitude of black lines rushed out like a thousand black snakes; ghosts naturally being sinister entities, the Life-taking Technique infused with countless Ghosts’ energy composed entirely of refined death energy. Wherever the black lines passed, flowers, grass, and trees withered and perished!

Although the Ghost General’s target was the Colonel, it didn’t avoid Huang Guohua, causing him great alarm and forcing him to dodge clumsily to the side.

Even so, he was still grazed by a black line, and the contact area started to shrivel and rot visibly, leaving Huang Guohua in utter terror!

And the Colonel, the chosen target, had no time to evade as he was directly engulfed by a mass of black lines!

This made Chu Xiu’s eyes light up!

He discovered that although the Colonel’s basic attributes were frighteningly high, his mind seemed somewhat deficient. No, more accurately, his mind hadn’t fully adapted to this body, making his movements somewhat sluggish.
