Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 277: Chapter 166: Samurai Ghost General_2

These two corpses were crafted by Chu Xiu using Blood Angels and royal elite Corpse Demons as the main bodies, along with over a dozen Fierce Tier Resurrected Corpses, fueled by the flesh and blood of a hundred thousand corrupted creatures, resulting in the Flying Corpse and Iron Armor Corpse!

The significant cost exhausted for crafting these corpses had Chu Xiu eagerly anticipating their power.

However, after a careful perception, Chu Xiu was somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, both corpses were only at Fierce Tier Level 9, and most importantly, their appearance differed from the records in the Corpse Refining Manual, highlighting not just a difference in appearance but also proof that the refining was not yet complete.

”It should be because the sacrificial refining time is too short,” Chu Xiu thought to himself.

Corpse refining isn’t something that can be accomplished in a short time. Normally, the Demon Sect’s cultivators need several months to complete, and even with Chu Xiu’s Perfect Refining aid, it would still take at least several days.

Currently, they only had a preliminary form and still needed gradual refining to enhance the body’s strength.

”Fortunately, there are still forty to fifty thousand corrupted creature corpses left. If all transformed into Corpse Fire for slow sacrificial refining, it should burn for two or three days. It’ll be uncertain if it meets the requirements for refining these two corpses.”

As Chu Xiu mused, he suddenly felt the top of the four-winged Strange Bird being heavily tapped three times.

This was the emergency signal agreed upon with Su Jinyu, signifying that she was nearing her limit.

Chu Xiu ceased any further thought, waved his large hand, and collected all the corpses and Resurrected Corpses into the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch for slow sacrificial refining.

This equipment, besides storage, could also serve as a refining and nurturing place for corpses; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been capable of becoming a powerful Demon Sect legacy on its own.

After finishing these tasks, he unfurled his wings and sped towards the location where Su Jinyu was situated.

...

At the same time, above forty kilometers away from Chu Xiu, Su Jinyu was tightly lying on the back of the four-winged Strange Bird, letting the creature beneath her whisk her through the air at 1.5 times the speed of sound.

At this speed, the oncoming air streams cut across her cheeks like sharp knives, causing faint pain, making it difficult to keep her eyes open.

Although, with the powerful constitution of an Awakened, these air streams couldn’t harm her, they still caused a certain level of interference. Su Jinyu murmured a strange spell, and suddenly a rune rose, forming a spherical Protective Shield that isolated the oncoming air streams.

After finishing this, Su Jinyu closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the bird’s back, and continued chanting the strange spell. In the ancient whispers, four Rune Pillars manifested around her, floating mid-air. Each pillar featured three eyes, which rotated flexibly, observing the surroundings like automatic scanning radars.

Instantly, the clear vista within a 360-degree radius of the four-winged Strange Bird was imprinted in Su Jinyu’s mind.

”Shoo—!”

Suddenly, a fierce sound of something breaking through the air emerged, prompting an immediate response from Su Jinyu. She swiftly pulled the right shoulder of the four-winged Strange Bird, causing the bird to swiftly evade to the right!

A long, dark spear almost grazed past the body of the four-winged Strange Bird. Had she reacted a bit slower, the entire body of the bird would have been pierced through!

This left Su Jinyu with a lingering sense of fear!

Looking back, three figures were faintly visible among the clouds, causing a chill to run down her spine.

Another one joined!

Even though Su Jinyu had anticipated the danger of this mission beforehand, she never expected the underground Calamity to directly dispatch three corrupted Awakened to intercept her!

All three corrupted Awakened possessed high-speed flying capabilities. Although unable to catch up with the four-winged Strange Bird, they could approach near sonic speed.

What’s more troublesome was that to prevent straying too far from Chu Xiu, so as not to lose control over the four-winged Strange Bird, Su Jinyu had to run in circles, providing an opportunity for the three corrupted Awakened to surround and ambush her.

Additionally, since Chu Xiu’s judgment of the environment around the four-winged Strange Bird relied on the bird’s perception itself, substantial limitations existed. The four-winged Strange Bird, though fast, had other attributes that were fairly average, especially as a Resurrected Corpse, its Perception Ability was exceptionally weak.

Therefore, it often fell upon Su Jinyu to direct actions.

Like just now, one of the corrupted Awakened concealed himself within the clouds, launching a covert attack. If it weren’t for Su Jinyu’s Rune Eye discovering it in time and using the pre-arranged signal to guide Chu Xiu’s control shift, the four-winged Strange Bird would have perished on the spot!

Even though she was lucky to dodge one hit, such indirect control through signals carried immense latency. High Tier battles change in the blink of an eye, often resulting in drastically different outcomes with just 0.01 seconds of timing difference.

In this situation, Su Jinyu’s evasion was already extremely tenuous, always at the risk of being shot down by the encircling corrupted Awakened, which forced her to send out the distress signal to Chu Xiu.

Simultaneously, she continuously cast runes with her hands, forming conical waves that extended forward, dispersing the air currents ahead of the four-winged Strange Bird, helping it further accelerate, while numerous runes scattered around her, transforming into massive iron eagles.

These rune constructs functioned like decoy flares. Whenever they detected attacks from the corrupted Awakened, they would automatically fly out to intercept the hit for the bird, thereby deflecting the incoming assaults.
