Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 413: Chapter 213: Hungry Ghost Leader (Part 2)

The soldiers below looked up, staring blankly at the sky. Under the bright searchlights, shadows flitted rapidly across the sky. Their numbers were immense, gathering like moving black clouds that enveloped the entire sky!

”Screech!”

Amid the bone-chilling wails of ghosts, those black clouds dove into the horde of Hungry Ghosts like a massive, illusory predatory creature. At the moment of contact, a horrific scene unfolded: the flesh of the Hungry Ghosts seemed to melt and evaporate instantly under fiery heat, stripping away at a visible speed, leaving behind skeletal remains etched with marks!

Even the large Hungry Ghosts were completely devoured within seconds!

This terrifying scene stunned the soldiers kneeling on the ground.

”Buddha, is this what a Buddha is?” a new recruit murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, the veteran beside him shoved his head down: ”Shut up! Who said a Buddha has to be golden and glittering? What saves your life is a Buddha!”

Startled by these words, the new recruit dared not say more and began to worship even more devoutly.

Chu Xiu merely glanced down indifferently, then lifted his gaze again, looking at the two thousand upper Hungry Ghosts in the distance.

At this moment, reminders were continuously flashing in his eyes.

[Killed one thousand Hungry Ghosts, Task Contribution Points +0.1]

[Killed large Hungry Ghosts, Task Contribution Points +0.3]

Meanwhile, the massive devouring of flesh not only did not diminish his Ghostly Legion but rather rapidly strengthened them at an astonishing speed!

”These endless Abyssal Monsters truly are treasures for a Demon Cultivator.”

The Abyssal Monsters devour the Abyssal Power to grow, while Chu Xiu devours them to enhance himself. By rounding up, doesn’t it mean he’s essentially exploiting the Abyss?

More importantly, as the Apocalypse Difficulty increases, the drop rate of special artifacts also rises drastically!

”I wonder how much my Ghostly Legion will improve from so many Hungry Ghosts, and how many good items will drop!”

Excitement flashed in Chu Xiu’s eyes.

Of course, the premise is that he must personally deal with those upper Corpse Demons posing the greatest threat to the Ghostly Legion; otherwise, it would cause losses.

With this thought in mind, Chu Xiu didn’t hesitate. The True Sin Punishing Demon Saber in his hand emitted a crisp sound, and his entire figure flickered and vanished!

In the next moment, he appeared among the group of upper Hungry Ghosts without any warning. As he swung the True Sin Punishing Demon Saber, the surrounding Hungry Ghosts couldn’t even react before being sliced in half by the blade condensed from Destructive Energy!

”Roar!”

The surrounding upper Hungry Ghosts frantically lunged at Chu Xiu. However, he merely swung his long saber in a wide arc around him, and a bizarre event unfolded: the hundreds of rushing Hungry Ghosts seemed to be immobilized in place, unable to move an inch!

Space Lock!

With another swing of the saber, countless slashes formed around him. With the sound of ”poof poof,” hundreds of upper Hungry Ghosts around him were sliced into numerous pieces, their severed intestines mixed with blood falling from the air, like a small-scale rain of flesh and blood.

Hundreds of Fierce Tier peak creatures were instantaneously slaughtered in Chu Xiu’s presence, akin to killing chickens and dogs!

Watching the dismembered organs, bones, and flesh fall from the sky, both the human soldiers and the Hungry Ghosts were stupefied.

Yet Chu Xiu calmly moved forward, with slashes akin to a Death God Scythe continuously appearing around him. The terrifying power of the Space Lock made it so the Hungry Ghosts could not escape. They could only watch in terror as Chu Xiu approached, then helplessly witness their bodies being sliced apart by sharp slashes.

Chu Xiu was like a leisurely walking Death God, destroying all life in his path.

...

”So strong!”

As Chu Xiu was in a frenzy of slaughter, the Hungry Ghost Leader watched him from afar, its expression extremely grave.

Chu Xiu’s first saber strike alone was enough to shock it; the torrent of destruction he unleashed was something even it did not wish to confront head-on.

But unexpectedly, what it thought was a powerful skill turned out to be merely an ordinary attack for this guy!

Every subsequent saber strike Chu Xiu made released energy no less than that world-ending first strike, and even stronger!

Most terrifying of all, he even possessed a Space Lock control skill!

The combination of the two was sufficient to threaten—no, it was sufficient to kill it!

”Fortunately, this guy isn’t very clever; he’s wasting most of his power on those cannon fodders.”

The Hungry Ghost Leader narrowed its eyes, secretly relieved.

If Chu Xiu had charged directly at it, for safety’s sake, it would’ve had no choice but to flee in defeat. But unexpectedly, he became entangled with its offspring instead.

It could sense that the energy Chu Xiu used to wield his long saber was depleting rapidly. By now, he had used more than half of it, and at most, he could kill a few hundred more upper Hungry Ghosts before it was completely exhausted.

Therefore, rather than instructing its subordinates to scatter and avoid Chu Xiu’s wide-ranging slashes, the Hungry Ghost Leader instead ordered them to attack, aiming to deplete Chu Xiu’s energy.

Though each Hungry Ghost was carefully cultivated by it, and losing so many at once made the Hungry Ghost Leader’s heart bleed, if Chu Xiu, such a formidable enemy, could be killed at this cost, it would be worth it.

”When his energy is depleted, I will reveal my true form and seize the opportunity to kill him in one strike.” The Hungry Ghost Leader had its calculations ready in its heart.
