Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 361: Chapter 195: He’s Not Human! (Part 3)

”But how is this possible?!”

This place is several kilometers deep underground, and the rocks are extremely hard. No matter how cautious one might be, digging a tunnel would still cause a considerable commotion.

Even if Li Zhan were fighting in the distance, with his King Tier’s extraordinary perception ability, it’s impossible for him to be unaware. Moreover, most of his attention has always been on this side.

And soon, Li Zhan noticed something was wrong.

The underground passage didn’t appear to be excavated, but seemed to have been dissolved by some strong acid!

This discovery left his mind blank.

A strong acid that can dissolve a passage in a short time?

This wouldn’t be easy even for a King Tier [Pharmacist (B)]!

Even before he could think it through, a large number of bone spikes pierced through the rock from the underground around Li Zhan, shooting out fiercely!

Li Zhan, still in shock, was suddenly attacked. Although he blocked quickly, there were too many bone spikes, at least a dozen, and he inadvertently got a cut on his right arm.

The next second, a piercing pain came from his right arm. Li Zhan looked down and saw that the cut area was rapidly spreading with a dark green toxin, where flesh and blood decayed wherever it reached.

At the same time, three huge creatures leaped out. Each was four meters tall, with slender limbs, ferocious faces, and extremely long poison claws at the end of drooping arms shimmering with dark green light, with six bone spikes growing from their tailbones.

Li Zhan just slightly sensed and felt a chill in his heart.

These three never-before-seen creatures were all General Tier Level 9! Moreover, their grades were ridiculously high. If judged by Abyssal standards, they were definitely elites! And the cream of the crop among elites, extremely close to being a leader!

With the buff from Chu Xiu, they absolutely had the combat power of advanced King Tier Abyssal creatures, and unexpectedly three came out at once!

This left Li Zhan’s heart freezing cold, and his face full of incredulity.

That kid named Chu Xiu has already become this strong, and still has a trump card?

Just then, a figure appeared at the bottom of the passage, Li Zhan looked down, meeting Chu Xiu’s calm eyes.

His right arm, severed by himself, had not yet healed, only a small section of bone had regrown. Clearly in a state of severe injury, yet there was no fear in Chu Xiu’s gaze, instead, there was expectation and excitement.

It was as if a hunter was quietly watching the prey caught in a trap, still struggling desperately.

At this moment, for the first time, a feeling called fear rose in Li Zhan’s heart.

Not because of the wound infected with toxin, nor the surrounded situation, but because he couldn’t see through the enemy in front of him!

For some reason, he thought of his trial as a King Tier, facing the final boss’s sense of powerlessness and despair.

Clearly, the opponent’s basic attributes were about the same as his, but the endless methods completely destroyed his fighting spirit. In the end, to save his life, he was forced to join the Extreme Dao.

Li Zhan later found out that the final boss then was actually an incarnation of an Outer Realm Demon, whose true form could traverse different layers of the Abyss, thus possessing such abnormal abilities.

But the Dark Night Monarch in front... wasn’t just a Fierce Tier Awakened?

”No, it can’t be true!”

”There’s no way a Fierce Tier could be so strong! Forget a Fierce Tier, even a prodigy at the General Tier couldn’t reach this level!”

”This guy... definitely isn’t human!”

Li Zhan seemed to finally realize something, without any hesitation, he turned and fled!

But of course, Chu Xiu wouldn’t let him leave so easily. All the demons swarmed up, launching frenzied attacks on Li Zhan.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiu’s demon legion may be strong, but if a seasoned King Tier Awakened is determined to escape, there’s no stopping him.

Not to mention, Li Zhan also had the blessing of an Outer Realm Demon.

After enduring several more attacks and his condition rapidly declining, he finally managed to break through the encirclement.

Watching his hobbling fleeing figure, Chu Xiu clicked his tongue lightly.

”Truly worthy of a seasoned King Tier, even his escape is so decisive.”

However, thinking of this guy’s fearful expression when he looked at him, Chu Xiu felt it was somewhat odd.

Suddenly, he had a guess.

”This guy, could he have mistaken me for some incarnation or reincarnation of an upper-level being?” he thought amusingly.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu didn’t think much further but turned his attention to the shattered soul bodies on Li Zhan’s escape path.

In this battle, Chu Xiu lost more than six hundred Fierce Ghosts.

Although the soul cores of these Fierce Ghosts were still intact, fully recovering them still required a large amount of flesh and blood.

Chu Xiu didn’t care about how Li Zhan saw him.

What he cared about was whether he could get the deserved reward after paying such a high price.

With killing intent in his eyes and no hesitation, Chu Xiu moved towards the direction in which Li Zhan fled.
