Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 229: Chapter 150: Extreme Dao Returns

”Puch!”

In the shocked gaze of the six people nearby, a pitch-black figure suddenly erupted from the shadows of the ruins on the previously empty ground. In less than 0.1 seconds, it thrust the long dagger in its hand into the abdomen of the Dark Night Monarch!

Even more terrifying, the pitch-black dagger, shrouded in shadow, seemed to have some special corrosive effect. The Dark Night Monarch was originally enveloped by demonic qi, but at this moment, the demonic qi around the abdomen was dispelled by the shadow dagger, revealing the jade-like armor underneath!

The armor was clearly not an ordinary item, but even so, it only held up for a brief moment before being pierced by the dagger. With a ”crack” sound, cobweb-like fractures spread out, and the shadow dagger was deeply embedded into the Dark Night Monarch’s body!

”Not good!”

Standing on a high-rise building and seeing this scene from afar, Qin Xiang’s expression changed drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, he burst out towards the Dark Night Monarch!

His face was extremely grim, never expecting someone to know about this transaction and send a high-tier stealth operative over in advance!

Who the hell was the bastard that leaked the information?!

Moreover, he had clearly made agreements with all factions, so who dared to interfere?

Do they really think Awakeners can kill without being caught?

The various mysterious means possessed by Awakeners indeed made tracking extremely difficult. For example, when Chu Xiu killed Huang Jun, he directly sent a fierce ghost to stealthily deliver the fatal blow. Even with all the police resources of a city, they couldn’t trace it back to him through ordinary investigative methods!

But as the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way. If the higher-ups truly wanted to investigate, they naturally had all kinds of extraordinary means. If cost wasn’t an issue, there were even artifacts capable of reversing time and briefly recreating the past.

The Dark Night Monarch was incredibly rare, a Civilization Envoy with a completely mysterious background! The higher-ups had high hopes for them. If anything happened to the Dark Night Monarch on his watch, Qin Xiang couldn’t even fathom how much responsibility he’d bear!

Thinking of this, a deep killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he dashed forward like a stream of light.

However, to avoid alerting the Dark Night Monarch, his main body was three kilometers away from the transaction site. Even though he was a King Tier Awakener, it would still take at least over ten seconds to reach!

The shadowy figure seemed to sense Qin Xiang’s rapid approach and, instead of continuing the assault, immediately turned to flee after landing the hit!

”Still trying to run?”

Evil qi flickered in Qin Xiang’s eyes as he accelerated again, but just as he was about to catch up to the shadow, something extraordinary caught his eye, forcing him to halt abruptly in mid-air!

He then saw that the pitch-black figure, having only fled about a hundred meters, was suddenly covered by a shadow. A faster figure from behind caught up, spreading wings akin to those of a vampire, and the Dark Night Monarch, whom Qin Xiang thought had been severely injured, swooped in swiftly. The next moment, that iconic demonic fist came crashing down from the heavens!

”Boom!”

The lava-covered fist struck the ground, instantly blasting out a massive amount of debris, with terrifying cracks spreading in all directions, as if a giant bomb had exploded underground!

The shadow was directly shattered into countless fragments by the punch, scattering along with soil and rocks.

Seeing this, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the strike hadn’t caused too much harm to the Dark Night Monarch.

Yet, in his eyes, there still flashed an irrepressible look of shock.

Even from a distance, he could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in Chen Ce’s punch, reaching nearly three thousand!

”Three thousand power points... Even many S-Class General Tier Awakeners can’t achieve such terrifying power output with their skills, can they?”

”And the defense is unbelievable, remaining unharmed under a sneak attack from a General Tier?”

”What level of talent and profession does this guy exactly have?”

For the first time, Qin Xiang had a direct perception of the terrifying talent of the Dark Night Monarch.

At this moment, he saw the Dark Night Monarch looking up at him after shattering the shadow.

He immediately signaled understanding and began to retreat slowly, indicating that he had no hostile intent.

Watching Qin Xiang gradually retreating, Chu Xiu also withdrew his gaze.

If this King Tier Awakener tried to approach by taking advantage of the situation, Chu Xiu would unhesitatingly dispatch his entire ghostly legion to block him at all costs and immediately start to retreat.

With the Core Anchor Point, his retreat speed would be much faster than ordinary Awakeners, capable of leaving within seconds, which was why he kept Qin Xiang three kilometers away from him.

He had a clear understanding of himself. While dealing with General Tier monsters was no longer an issue for him, against King Tier, he could only deal with low-level monsters, let alone King Tier Awakeners.

After all, the challenge of overcoming tiers grows more difficult as one progresses. Those who become high-tier Awakeners are themselves geniuses capable of crushing opponents of the same tier. It’s said that among King Tier Awakeners, nearly one-third possess S-Class talents or professions.

Moreover, they have typically accumulated years, even decades, of experience and specialized artifacts and equipment, a foundation not comparable to Chu Xiu, who just awakened a month and a half ago as a ’new rich.’

Unless he cultivated the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine in advance, Chu Xiu had little chance of victory.

Without further thought, he looked down at the large hole in front of him, frowning slightly.

With the Jade Liquid Talent and the new class bonus, the power of the Celestial Demon Hand had soared to three thousand!
