Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

If Chu Xiu hadn’t cultivated the Golden Embryo Divine Forger, he might have really been assassinated!

Thinking briefly, Chu Xiu pretended not to notice, releasing the Ghosts to clear the wandering souls along the road.

These wandering souls were transformed from Elite Warriors; the weakest among them were at the Fierce Tier, and being regarded as Abyssal creatures, they dropped loot when killed.

Meanwhile, the Ghost Generals who had gone to Jiang Miaoyin’s marked location to slay monsters were also returning one after another, with almost every squad led by a Ghost General birthing new Fierce Ghosts, and the levels of the Ghost General’s body generally increasing by one or two levels.

It could be said that the overall strength of the Ghostly Legion had significantly increased.

As they cleaned out all the wandering souls within the passage, they were less than three hundred meters from the Bronze Giant Gate.

At this distance, Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense already enveloped the entire body of the Murder Ghost; he captured every breath and the excitement hinted by the corners of its mouth, while the Murder Ghost itself was completely unaware.

With a peculiar smile on his face, Chu Xiu suddenly stopped and said, ”Don’t you think this is a very good spot?”

”Huh?” Jiang Miaoyin was taken aback.

Chu Xiu said, ”If I were the Murder Ghost, I would definitely choose to ambush here. This place is rugged with rocks, perfect for hiding, and is a necessary path for our Soul Hall’s exploration.”

”Hmm...” Jiang Miaoyin tilted her head to think for a moment, then nodded, ”It does seem that way.”

Then she smiled, ”But he didn’t do that, so he must not be as smart as Senior.”

Chu Xiu shook his head with amusement. How could this genius of the Jiang family resemble such a sycophant? Could it be a habit formed over long-term interactions with Heroic Spirits?

He suggested, ”How can you be sure the Murder Ghost isn’t here? To be safe, it’s better to examine closely.”

Chu Xiu didn’t want to reveal his card of a breakthrough in reconnaissance ability too soon, because he had already identified that the Murder Ghost lying in ambush in the distance was merely a Spirit Puppet, and even if killed, it couldn’t completely eliminate this threat.

Keeping an ace up could provide a strategic advantage in the future due to this information gap.

After hearing Chu Xiu’s words, Jiang Miaoyin glanced at him, showing a thoughtful expression before raising her hand and summoning a torrent of Instantaneous to surge forward.

Unfortunately, despite the vast number of Instantaneous, they had no reaction to the hidden Murder Ghost.

One even passed right through its body without noticing anything amiss.

Despite obtaining nothing, Jiang Miaoyin seemed unwilling to give up. After pondering a bit, she rapidly changed her hand seals, summoning the four strange Buddha Statues that Chu Xiu had seen in the secret chamber earlier around her.

She uttered a light command, sending a beam of Spiritual Light into the Buddha Statue with a face of crying and laughing, and hands covering its eyes. As the Spiritual Light continuously poured in, the statue emitted a ”crackling” sound, and the hands covering its eyes gradually lowered.

It was then that Chu Xiu noticed the statue had a pair of sinisterly red and violent eyes like a Fierce Ghost!

The eyes quickly rolled forward, suddenly snapping in a direction, locking precisely onto the Murder Ghost’s location! An invisible wave emanated, directly dispelling the Murder Ghost’s concealment!

The Murder Ghost reacted quickly, trying to escape in a flash, but Chu Xiu merely raised his hand and gently pointed. A green Spiritual Light shot out, and the moment it hit the Murder Ghost, its flesh and blood dissolved instantly into a pool of sludge. Without even uttering a sound, even its bones melted in the foul-smelling blood.

At the same time, pure Life Ability got absorbed by Chu Xiu, integrating into the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, nourishing the damaged body of the Blood Demon Incarnation.

This terrifying scene made Jiang Miaoyin’s eyelid twitch involuntarily.

The bizarre green light moved so fast that she hadn’t reacted before the Murder Ghost got hit, and the oppressive ability of directly dissolving the target made her gasp.

She quickly contemplated in her mind how she would deal with such a Divine Technique if she were the target.

After her reflection, though unpleasant, she quickly put on a smiling face and complimented, ”Senior’s skill is powerful!”

”You’re too kind,” Chu Xiu responded lightly, then glanced at the four Buddha Statues next to her, hinting, ”Your Curse Spirit is impressive too, being able to see through the Murder Ghost’s disguise.”

”But with such a potent method, why didn’t you use it earlier?”
