Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 360: Chapter 195: He’s Not Human! (Part 2)

I am a seasoned King Tier who has emerged victorious from countless battles over the years. How could I possibly fail to take down a Fierce Tier?

With a fierce look in his eyes, Li Zhan let out a low growl. The shadow giant wolf that had been guarding him nearby suddenly exploded without warning into countless sticky, pitch-black tentacles that wildly extended in all directions!

The nearby ghosts, unable to dodge, were pierced through their soul bodies, and even a Ghost General was knocked flying several meters away by the tentacles’ giant strength.

As for Li Zhan himself, he was completely hidden in the shadows.

The next moment, those tentacles expanded once more, spreading like a pool of sewage, and in the blink of an eye, formed a large dark area covering more than a hundred meters.

Before the Ghost Generals responsible for intercepting could react, Li Zhan’s figure had already burst from the dark domain, rapidly rushing past the ten Ghost Generals surrounding him, and reached Chu Xiu’s side!

At this moment, Chu Xiu was completely hidden under the protection of the Iron Armor Corpse, making his figure completely unseen, with only the continuously hardening and growing shell of the Iron Armor Corpse visible.

”This kid’s defensive summoned creature is also an Advanced General Tier! No, to be fair, its basic attributes even surpass other summoned creatures, reaching King Tier! Especially with the buff support, it has even reached Advanced King Tier!”

”It’s specialized in defense. My full force strike earlier only managed to cut a wound one meter deep!”

Li Zhan quickly contemplated in his mind.

The strike he had unleashed earlier, though for the sake of speed he did not charge up in advance, was nonetheless executed without reservation, fully utilizing the power of his experienced King Tier capabilities.

Even when facing a weaker opponent, Li Zhan was accustomed to going all out.

However, this powerful strike failed to break through the defense of the Iron Armor Corpse and was still quite a distance from injuring Chu Xiu at the center.

”I don’t have time to drag this out; I must end this battle quickly.”

”I never imagined a mere Fierce Tier brat would force me to use my trump card.”

A flash of pain crossed Li Zhan’s eyes, but he didn’t hesitate. With a low growl, he took out a talisman and pasted it onto his left arm. Instantly, his arm, like a Demon Arm, erupted with intense spiritual light, which quickly injected into the Demon Sword in his other hand!

The next moment, the Demon Sword, infused with all his energy, slashed heavily at the Iron Armor Corpse!

The rune Li Zhan used was an extremely powerful King Tier [Legend] artifact, a trump card bestowed upon him by the Outer Realm Demon he served after becoming an Extreme Dao.

The effect is an instantaneous energy level strength of three thousand for a one-time charge, fully enhancing the power of all skills.

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly modest figure of three thousand energy levels; the artifact’s strength lies in its ability to convert energy into damage with almost no loss, as long as the skills are below King Tier.

This is incredibly terrifying, as the energy utilization rate of a King Tier is extremely high. The potential power from the same amount of energy level is more than dozens of times that of a Mortal Tier.

Moreover, this charge has no side effects and works very quickly, undoubtedly achieving decisive results in battle, truly worthy of a King Tier [Legend].

Its correct use, in fact, should be to suddenly boost a skill’s power while fighting another Awakened at the King Tier, achieving unexpected results. Used properly, it’s even possible to instantly kill the enemy.

Using it now to break through Chu Xiu’s turtle shell defense is undoubtedly very wasteful.

But thinking of Chu Xiu’s astounding talent, the pain on Li Zhan’s face turned into greed.

Chu Xiu’s summoned creatures astonished him, but beyond the shock, he felt more ecstasy!

”The more terrifying this guy’s talent, the higher my gains!”

”This monstrous summoned creatures legion, even if their professional talent drops a tier after using the deprivation artifact, will surely still be amazing!”

The stronger Chu Xiu is, the happier he becomes!

Li Zhan is fully confident that no matter how strong Chu Xiu’s summoned creatures are, they cannot withstand this strike!

With his mind made up, Li Zhan’s Demon Sword struck heavily upon the Iron Armor Corpse!

Immediately, an overwhelming wave of destruction rippled from the point of impact, spreading in all directions. The Iron Armor Corpse’s shell, many times harder than any alloy, was directly obliterated under the extreme energy!

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The hard shell of the Iron Armor Corpse shattered layer by layer, and the terrifying shockwave, like a small nuclear bomb explosion, shattered the nearby rocks, making the ground shake!

”As expected!”

Li Zhan revealed a victorious smile.

Though the cost was great, capturing Chu Xiu was undoubtedly worth it.

Now, all he needed to do was control the energy of the Demon Sword to precisely injure and incapacitate Chu Xiu.

In his watchful eyes, a hardened shell with a radius of five meters quickly formed a large hole, about to reach the core.

But just when Li Zhan was about to reduce the energy output to avoid killing Chu Xiu in one blow, his face suddenly changed dramatically as if realizing something!

He felt his Demon Sword suddenly lighten while penetrating the hardened shell to a certain depth!

The center of that hardened shell was empty!

”Boom!”

Li Zhan increased the energy output, slashing a trench into the shell, then his face darkened dramatically. Somehow, a passage had been dug under the rocky base of the hemispherical shell, leaving the hardened shell as nothing more than bait, with Chu Xiu nowhere to be found inside!
