Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 352: Chapter 192: Corrupted Buddhist Disciple (Part 2)

Li Zhan was not to be outdone. His left hand ignited with a crimson glow, forming a towering Flame Burst in front of him in an instant. The terrifying power of high-level Destruction Magic immediately incinerated a large number of Corrupted Buddhist Disciples.

Qin Xiang, however, did not move, but whispered to Chu Xiu, ”Don’t stray too far from me later.”

Chu Xiu nodded slightly. He knew that Qin Xiang was guarding against someone taking advantage of the chaos to harm him. The talent he possessed, if stolen, could be even more valuable than what they would gain by eliminating the Calamity. So it was impossible to guarantee that no one would seize the opportunity.

The brief disconnection of Li Zhan earlier must have given Qin Xiang some clue.

And although Chu Xiu had confidence in his own strength, he wouldn’t take unnecessary risks. So he honestly followed behind Qin Xiang, merely commanding his Ghostly Legion to attack the Buddha Statue from afar.

As before, he cast one Life-taking Technique after another, precisely picking off remnants left alive by the aftershocks of other King Tier skills, reaping considerable rewards.

Under the combined efforts of everyone, it wasn’t long before the Buddha Statue was full of pits, punched with several large holes.

However, as a specially fortified Fierce Tier Level 9 creature, the defense of the Corrupted Buddhist Disciple was astonishingly strong. Even a King Tier Awakened could not kill it easily. Moreover, given the massive size of the Buddha Statue and the countless Corrupted Buddhist Disciples it had absorbed over the years, even when enduring attacks from multiple Kings, the injuries were not very apparent.

Moreover, the Calamity would not sit idly by. After a roar, it launched its own counterattack.

Seeing the Corrupted Buddhist Disciples on him swarming out like bees leaving a hive, when they approached nearby King Tier Awakened, a huge burst of light would erupt from their bodies, and the next moment, they would explode like high-explosive bombs.

The massive shockwaves blasted one after another, making the vast cavern tremble precariously.

Although the Buddha Statue was bound by chains, these Buddhist Disciples were not. Even though their strength was far inferior to the various Kings, through exploding themselves, they unleashed energy far exceeding their current tier within a very short time, causing some of the Kings to be somewhat flustered.

”Boom!”

Another explosion sounded, and Mu Wu’s figure flew backward. Although there was still no visible injury on him, the energy shield around him had dimmed significantly.

He suddenly turned his head and shouted harshly at Chu Xiu, ”Let your Ghosts go up and deplete these monsters. Your Ghosts are agile enough to block these self-destructive beasts!”

Hearing this, Chu Xiu was unmoved, pretending not to hear. This infuriated Mu Wu: ”Why should we bear the brunt in the front while he’s picking up the scraps at the back? Before, we might have made allowances for him, but now, facing the Calamity, how can there be any room for such opportunism?”

Chu Xiu remained undisturbed.

This left Mu Wu helpless, and he could only say, ”Agent Qin, about the distribution afterwards...”

”I will reassess and provide an answer satisfactory to everyone.” Qin Xiang said somewhat reluctantly.

Even he had no good reason to defend Chu Xiu at this moment.

At the same time, Qin Xiang was indeed a bit dissatisfied, as Chu Xiu was really taking it too easy.

”What’s up with this kid? His actions were so aggressive before, I thought he would dispatch all his Summoned Creatures without hesitation, grabbing as much of the resources as possible. Why has he become so cautious now?”

Qin Xiang was very puzzled.

He was worried about Chu Xiu being too aggressive, which was why he had him stay by his side, but who knew that Chu Xiu wouldn’t be aggressive but rather laid-back.

Having received Qin Xiang’s response, the other Kings no longer paid attention to Chu Xiu and focused on dealing with the bizarre Buddha Statue.

The four Kings each displayed their true capabilities, quickly smashing large numbers of Corrupted Buddhist Disciples, leaving the Buddha Statue in a tattered state.

Articles of equipment dropped out one after another, with each King receiving a generous reward of Cause and Effect Points.

However, seeing this, instead of rushing, Chu Xiu silently retreated a little, while the Flying Corpse maintained a stance ready to withdraw at a moment’s notice.

He glanced at the Kings in the air, his black eyes narrowed slightly.

”Two of them have been keeping their attention on me...”

Chu Xiu was not unwilling to take on any losses, nor was he a shortsighted person who only thought of taking advantage.

In fact, the moment he entered the cave, he had already used Divine Sense to cover the entire cave, constantly monitoring the situation and looking for the best time to strike.

However, after a short while, he noticed something unusual.

”Two of the Kings, although they seem to be attacking the Buddha Statue, have actually been watching my movements!”

”Tsk.”

In such circumstances, Chu Xiu naturally had to be more cautious. After all, by relying on the Ghostly Legion to pick off remnants, he could still gain quite a bit of resources.

”Boom!”

Just then, Mu Wu punched again at the Buddha Statue’s chest. This punch was extremely powerful, smashing more than a dozen Corrupted Buddhist Disciples, opening a large hole in the Buddha Statue’s chest, revealing something that seemed to be covered in sludge, like a tumor.

As soon as the strange object appeared, everyone felt the enormous energy contained within it clearly!

Mu Wu was delighted and shouted, ”Quick, that thing must be the weakness of the Calamity, let’s give it a fatal blow together!”

The remaining three Kings didn’t hesitate, each transforming into a stream of light, unleashing powerful attack skills aimed at the tumor.

However, just as the three attacks struck the tumor, something bizarre occurred. The tumor absorbed all the power of the three Kings, beginning to expand rapidly!

The next moment, before everyone could react, like power had been condensed to its limit, the tumor exploded violently, and at the same time, a terrifying mental shock shot out from it!
