Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 428: Chapter 219: Formidable Foe

”Boom!”

The Asura and Blood Demon Incarnation simultaneously punched, colliding with brute force. Hundreds of thousands of tons of immense power exploded in an instant, creating a sonic boom in the air, and the impact formed wind pressure, causing Chu Xiu’s robe to flutter loudly.

”Bang!”

The Asura stepped back half a step, and at the same time, the dozen or so tentacles behind the Blood Demon struck, leaving several cuts on the Asura, triggering the trait [Ultimate Blood Poison], and activated the skills [Neurotoxin] and [Toxin Refinement] to further enhance it!

However, these toxins seemed to cause no harm to the Asura, while in contrast, the Blood Demon Incarnation’s fist was nearly shattered in the hard exchange just now!

”Hahaha! Refreshing!”

The Asura laughed heartily and charged again to battle with the Blood Demon Incarnation!

”Venerable Lord! We can’t keep fighting, this guy is too strong!”

Rasputin’s panicked thought came through, and Chu Xiu didn’t insist but quickly communicated with his mind, ”Fight while retreating, look for an opportunity to withdraw.”

The Asura’s strength indeed stirred Chu Xiu’s fighting spirit, but he wasn’t the type to charge ahead recklessly. He preferred to target weaknesses, devise strategies, and carefully hunt down his opponents step by step.

”Retreat first.”

Chu Xiu reached out, intending to collect the three gods into the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch and leave.

However, at that moment, a golden light suddenly shot from the side without warning, slashing at his wrist!

”Squeak!!!”

That golden light instantly shredded the skin and flesh on Chu Xiu’s hand, then sliced into his forearm bone, making a harsh metallic grinding noise like a cutter slicing steel.

”Hmm.”

A light hum echoed in the void, seemingly surprised that this strike failed to sever Chu Xiu’s wrist instantly.

Chu Xiu looked up and found a ten-meter-tall bird with black feathers, but its neck and wings bore golden plumes, hovering in the air.

On its head was a pitch-black orb, and though it had bird-like wings, its form resembled a humanoid. At this moment, the bird’s cold pupils were observing Chu Xiu without a trace of emotion.

The appearance left no doubt that this was likely the Garuda, whose combat prowess was second only to the Asura.

The Garuda was the legendary ”Golden-winged Roc,” the archetype for the Golden-winged Roc in Journey to the West, reportedly feeding on dragons, consuming one dragon and five hundred small dragons each day.

However, the dragons here were not the dragons commonly seen in Huaxia mythology but more like a massive type of venomous snake, similar to the ”Earth Dragon” incarnation of the Great Python God.

But even so, it was enough to signify the Garuda’s power.

”Such impressive speed from this god, it wasn’t detected by my Divine Sense before, and the distance was at least a thousand meters, yet it struck me in less than half a second.”

”First using the Asura to attract attention, then having the incredibly fast Garuda rescue the three Yaksha?”

If it weren’t for the fact that Chu Xiu’s body was made exceptionally solid by perfecting the Golden Flesh and Nether Bone, he might have lost an arm to that strike, allowing the Yaksha and others to be rescued.

But missing the strike didn’t leave Garuda with any disappointment; its golden eyes still held a commanding gaze. Its finger turned gently, and the golden light lodged in Chu Xiu’s bone immediately retracted and spun rapidly along Chu Xiu’s arm!

In just the blink of an eye, it severed all the meridians and muscles in Chu Xiu’s left arm! A large amount of blood splattered everywhere!

Pain surged through Chu Xiu’s mind, but instead, it made his mind unprecedentedly clear. He felt his entire body entering a primal instinctual combat state, with thoughts flowing smoothly.

”Something in my grasp, and you think you can take it away?”

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, and the Burning Blood Golden Eyes lit up. Instantly, golden flames enveloped the souls of the three Yaksha, and they couldn’t even let out a cry before being completely refined!

This scene made a flash of cruelty appear in Garuda’s golden eyes.

”Courting death!”

Though he didn’t care about the three Yaksha, he couldn’t allow anyone to defy him!

Garuda spread its wings and, with just a gentle flap, its massive body crossed several hundred meters instantly; the speed was so fast that a vacuum channel formed between the start and endpoint!

Chu Xiu dared not be negligent; he swung the True Sin Punishing Demon Saber, densely sealing off all the airspace in front of him with blade slashes, while he flew rapidly towards the military camp on the Flying Corpse.

The Blood Demon Incarnation no longer tangled with the Asura either, its body suddenly exploded, turning into a large pool of viscous muck that engulfed the Asura, while another smaller Blood Demon Incarnation shot out from it, accelerating toward the distance to escape.

Skill [Golden Cicada Shell]!

”Hmph!”

Although the explosion-formed cage was shattered by two punches from the Asura, this brief delay was enough for the Blood Demon Incarnation to escape a thousand miles away and catch up with Chu Xiu.

And upon catching up, the Blood Demon Incarnation plunged its hands into the Flying Corpse, its body turning into a layer of blood-red skin that covered the Flying Corpse.

Skills [Blood of Frenzy], [Nerve Burst], [Muscle Overload]! High Tier skill [Flesh and Blood Coexistence]!

The first three skills provided a frenzy buff to the Flying Corpse, significantly boosting its basic attributes in a short time. Although there would be extremely serious side effects afterward, such as internal organ damage and muscle dissolution, these could all be slowly repaired in the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch.

And with the boost from these three buffs, the speed of the Flying Corpse doubled!

And the final [Flesh and Blood Coexistence], allowed the Blood Demon Incarnation and the Flying Corpse to merge into one, further enhancing its attributes and granting additional life force!
