Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 358: Chapter 194: Fierce Battle Against the King Tier Awakened

The Golden Embryo Origin within his body activated, rapidly healing the wounds on his body, while six dark shadows appeared behind Li Zhan!

”Oh? You still have the guts to ambush me under these circumstances?”

Li Zhan’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t continue to chase Chu Xiu; instead, he turned his longsword around, and without any detectable energy fluctuation from activating a skill, the longsword in his hand suddenly expanded to a length of three meters!

The next moment, a fierce burst of firelight exploded in the pitch-black cavern, followed by a metal grinding noise that nearly pierced the eardrums!

Six Ghost Generals launched an attack simultaneously, with six General’s Weapons of different forms heavily striking Li Zhan’s longsword!

Feeling the force transmitted through his hand, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Zhan’s eyes.

”These six summoned creatures all have Constitution exceeding two thousand, with some even reaching three thousand!”

”These attributes are only possessed by Advanced General Tier beings.”

”A Fierce Tier Awakener capable of having six Advanced General Tier summoned creatures...”

”Interesting, truly worthy of being a genius who could become a Civilization Envoy.”

A glimmer of greed surfaced in his eyes.

”In that case, I must have your talent and profession!”

With a light shout, Li Zhan fended off the approaching Ghost Generals and, in a flicker, moved ten meters away.

Anyone with half a mind knows that the best way to deal with a summoning profession is to bypass the summoned creatures and go straight for the main body!

However, just as he was preparing to continue pursuing Chu Xiu, his body suddenly jolted vehemently, with shock flashing in his eyes again!

Only to see six hundred Fierce Ghosts appear behind those six Ghost Generals at unknown times! Moreover, Li Zhan could clearly perceive that the power of these six hundred Fierce Ghosts was continuously flowing into the bodies of the six Ghost Generals!

The next moment, the six Ghost Generals extended their hands simultaneously, launching six life-taking techniques enhanced by the Hundred Ghost Manipulation Technique!

Without a second thought, Li Zhan’s battle instincts made his body automatically react. The demon arm of his right hand condensed an energy shield in an extremely short time, but even so, he still sensed a chilling aura enveloping his whole body.

Even though his Constitution exceeded four thousand, he still felt his limbs stiffening and his life force rapidly decreasing!

”Hmph.”

An icy glint appeared in Li Zhan’s eyes. Flames ignited in the palm of the Demon’s Hand, and without any warning, an immensely powerful Flame Burst exploded in the field!

The six Ghost Generals were blasted away directly, and they crashed into the surrounding rock walls in a miserable state. Under the shockwave impact, the numerous Fierce Ghosts behind them seemed severely injured, with their soul bodies immediately becoming weak.

No choice, no matter how large the number, the disparity in strength was still too great, just like how Chu Xiu used the Great Sun Guard Shield to slaughter corrupted creatures. Li Zhan’s Flame Burst can also clear the ghosts all at once.

If it were an extensively charged large-range damage skill he released seriously, it might even wipe out at least half of the Ghostly Legion in a single blow!

But after repelling the Ghostly Legion, Li Zhan didn’t pursue immediately; instead, he gazed intently behind him.

Not far away, four figures emitting equally powerful auras emerged from the shadows, and the Extreme Dao figure holding the sniper rifle had been completely torn apart.

If Li Zhan was shocked when he saw Fierce Ghosts behind the Ghost Generals, now he was somewhat horrified.

”There are actually four more... A Fierce Tier Awakener owning ten Advanced General Tiers, a thousand Fierce Tiers???”

”This... This is about the level of a low-level King Tier summoner profession, isn’t it?”

”So, the attack on me just now was just a feint, and the real target was to prioritize killing another person?”

A mysterious glimmer flickered in Li Zhan’s eyes.

The Extreme Dao who came along with him had extremely strong remote attack methods, which even Qin Xiang would fall victim to if careless, posing significant threats even to King Tier Awakeners.

But relatively speaking, it is, after all, merely a General Tier, with inevitably lacking close combat capabilities, so it’s perfectly normal to be instantaneously killed under the siege of four Ghost Generals, not even having time to resist.

What surprised Li Zhan was that at such a critical moment, Chu Xiu could still make such a calm judgment. Amidst a King Tier lurking around, he still had the courage to deploy nearly half of his summoned creatures to attack another person, which, although the optimal decision at present, most ordinary people would prefer to gather all summoned creatures around for self-protection out of fear.

”It seems this lad’s disposition is quite exceptional.”

Li Zhan withdrew his gaze and refocused on Chu Xiu not far away. By now, Chu Xiu also stopped, with his Golden Embryo Origin persistently repairing his injuries, while the Sin Punishing Demon Saber was fully condensed in his hand, calmly watching Li Zhan.

This only made the appreciation in the latter’s eyes more intense.

”Not taking the chance to flee is because pulling away would reduce the precision in controlling summoned creatures, and his summoned creatures’ speed couldn’t keep up with his mount and me.”

”If he fled, he would just end up isolated, better to remain here for a decisive battle to the death.”

”To analyze the situation so calmly, even if our roles were reversed, I couldn’t have done better than him.”

Li Zhan’s admiration quickly turned into loathing.

He spoke lightly: ”I must admit, your strength indeed far exceeds my expectations.”

”If you were given sufficient time to grow, I could almost certainly guarantee that you would surpass me in the future.”

”But is this fair? I’ve been grinding in the abyss, striving to climb upwards without regard for anything for decades, only to find that in the face of truly talented individuals, no matter what, I can only watch as they gradually surpass me.”

At this, a ruthless glint laced with delight flashed in Li Zhan’s eyes: ”That’s why I so detest geniuses and equally enjoy the moment when geniuses wither in my hands!”

As he finished speaking, he moved, suddenly disappearing from the spot, and when he appeared again, he was before Chu Xiu!

But this time, Chu Xiu was already prepared, an Iron Armor Corpse appeared beside him, its chest and abdomen opened, directly swallowing Chu Xiu into its body, meanwhile, the hardened shell expanded madly, forming a hemisphere entirely composed of Iron Armor with a radius exceeding five meters in a flash!

Li Zhan’s longsword cleaved onto it, instantly carving out a trench with a depth exceeding a meter, but to completely cleave the Iron Armor Corpse open would take at least a continuous attack of over ten seconds!

This is the true purpose of the Iron Armor Corpse, not meant for combat, but to protect the Demon Cultivator’s main body!

This terrifying defense baffled Li Zhan as he rarely exhibited a bewildered expression.

Wait, there are more experts?

The Ghostly Legion had already turned his perception upside down, and what’s up with this sudden summoned creature?

Just how many trump cards does this kid have?!

And during his brief stupor, a blaring horn sounded from within the Iron Armor Corpse!

[Oblais’ Roar]!

With the blow of this horn representing a counterattack, the massive Ghostly Legion behind Li Zhan saw their average attributes rise by a notch.

And it didn’t end there; astonishing energy fluctuations emanated from the Iron Armor Corpse, with thick blood light appearing on all the Ghostly Legion members.

[Command: Charge]! [Command: Hold Firm]! [Command: Recovery]! [Blood Feeding]!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Xiu directly cast a triple General Orders along with the trump Blood Fiend on all the ghosts!

The General Order’s expenditure is extremely high, especially since Chu Xiu had to bolster over a thousand ghosts, so these three General Orders were merely at the most foundational level, but even so, it almost exhausted his mana.

Simultaneously, he hesitated not at all to consume his essence blood and cast [Blood Feeding]!

Feeding thousands of ghosts with his essence blood!

Under such terrifying buffs, the aura of all ghosts instantly surged, with their horrifying power nearly doubling compared to before!

But it didn’t stop there!

Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine rose at the center of the field, with a few ghosts depositing the blood artifacts Chu Xiu had prepared in advance. After absorbing the Extreme Dao’s body, it rapidly grew, and instantly a rich life aura covered the entire Ghostly Legion.

Enveloped in this vitality, even the soul bodies of ghosts began to swiftly recover from injuries.

Gazing at the massive Ghostly Legion before him, Li Zhan lost composure for the first time, showing an incredulous expression!

”This, damn it... is this a power that a Fierce Tier Awakener could possess?”

In the next moment, before he could react, countless ghosts roared as they charged, completely engulfing his figure!
