Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

"Boom!"

The frenzied energy torrent transformed into a consuming fire, engulfing the Murder Ghost entirely.

However, as the Sword Qi descended, Chu Xiu’s face didn’t show a hint of joy; instead, he gazed solemnly ahead.

Amidst the swirling dust, two enormous pale Ghost Hands slowly emerged.

The destructive power that Chu Xiu had concentrated to the extreme left evident scorch marks on these Ghost Hands, with wisps of white smoke rising from them.

The bizarre Ghost Hands had actually withstood the strike!

Although Chu Xiu, in his rush to catch up with the Murder Ghost, had used most of his Divine-Demonic Power to accelerate, and this strike was executed hastily, he hadn’t held back at all, pushing the Ninth Heaven’s Great Freedom Celestial Demon Body to its limit!

The Sword Qi unleashed from this was already extraordinarily close to that of a demigod in power!

Yet it was blocked by those peculiar Ghost Hands that were four or five meters tall!

"Creak, creak, creak."

The two Ghost Hands opened outward, revealing the Murder Ghost’s somewhat morbid face.

At this moment, his frenzied eyes finally showed a hint of surprise for the first time.

"Strange, how did you even notice me? And why did you suddenly suspect me earlier?"

In fact, the Murder Ghost had several suspicious points, such as being an elite operative and knowing that the Murder Ghost was adept at disguise, yet taking no precautions upon their initial meeting. Another was that odd red eyeball, which hardly seemed linked to the Eye of Past and Future, and also during the ghost attack, he didn’t predict it in advance, allowing the ghost to assault Chu Xiu.

But Chu Xiu’s response was:

"Die!"

He released Jiang Miaoyin and stepped forward, his Chiwen once again stabbing forward with unmatched power!

"Heh." The Murder Ghost chuckled lightly, quickly retreating, as the palms of the two Ghost Hands behind him suddenly spewed out a large amount of black mist!

"Boom!"

The unparalleled Sword Qi shattered the black mist, but as it neared the Murder Ghost, it seemed to be blocked by some kind of force, splitting in all directions!

At the same time, more black mist spewed from the Ghost Hands.

Without fear, Chu Xiu accelerated once more, plunging directly into the black mist!

Chiwen, upon contact with its target, would increase in power, and Chu Xiu refused to believe those Ghost Hands could block even Chiwen’s physical form!

His Divine Sense was firmly locked onto the Murder Ghost’s location, and under the acceleration of the Divine-Demonic Power, he reached his target in the blink of an eye, raising Chiwen high and striking it down heavily!

Yet at that very moment, a Guan Saber suddenly slashed out from the black mist without warning!

"Clang!!!"

Chiwen collided directly with the Guan Saber, and Chu Xiu only felt a tremendous force in his hand! Although Chiwen, enhanced by the Artifact Origin, shattered the Guan Saber, Chu Xiu’s hand went numb, halting his aggressive momentum!

And before he could swing a second strike, a Tang Saber suddenly thrust out from his diagonal lower side without warning!

Chu Xiu couldn’t react in time and was directly pierced!

Instantly, the cave echoed with the shrill sound of clashing metal, as the Tang Saber was repelled by Chu Xiu’s body, but it left a deep wound on his side that exposed the bone!

Chu Xiu’s complexion changed slightly, no longer being reckless, instead retreating to open up a distance.

"Heh heh, you didn’t think I killed Zhao Jie with just the Spatial Cutting talent, did you?"

As the Murder Ghost chuckled sinisterly, the mist dissipated, revealing his pale face.

Chu Xiu finally discerned the full view of what had just attacked him. Behind the Murder Ghost, two enormous rifts in space were opened, from which the Ghost Hands extended, hovering above him, and dangling threads between their fingers controlled two figures beneath their palms.

On the right was a burly Military General clad in heavy armor, wielding a Guan Saber, its blade already shattered by Chu Xiu. Yet, thick black mist swirled around it, swiftly reforming the blade under the mist’s influence.

Chu Xiu recognized at a glance that the weapon was formed from a special Yin Qi, similar to the General’s Weapon of his Ghost General.

The Murder Ghost retracted the black mist, likely aiding this Military General in repairing his weapon.

On the other side stood a Swordsman wielding two sabers, who had just ambushed Chu Xiu.

These two had expressionless faces, and their skin had a lifeless grayish-white tone, but from their brief confrontation, Chu Xiu could clearly feel their combat skills were astonishingly refined!

Chu Xiu’s strike should have shattered both the Military General and his weapon, yet he had used an unusually clever force-dissipating technique, enduring the impact, while the Swordsman’s thrust was as swift and venomous as a viper.

Observing the spatial rifts connected to the Ghost Hands, Chu Xiu coldly sneered, "So this is the reward the Outer Realm Demon gave you? They’re quite generous."

"Not at all, it’s just two souls that have honed their skills to perfection in suffering," the Murder Ghost smiled slyly, pointing to his chest.

"The real trump card is here."

At some unknown point, he had donned a set of heavy armor covered with sharp Bone Spikes.

"There’s still a trump card..."

Chu Xiu frowned deeply. The Murder Ghost was much more troublesome than he had imagined!

It’s worth noting that up until now, the opponent hadn’t even used the Spatial Cutting ability!

It’s highly likely that Zhao Jie suffered a fatal misjudgment of the Murder Ghost’s strength.

However, Chu Xiu showed no trace of fear, scoffing lightly as he twirled Chiwen in his hands, once again assuming a combat stance.

Despite suffering a minor setback in their initial confrontation, he too possessed numerous hidden cards!
