Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

He and the holder of the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron agreed on the location of the trade. After explaining the situation to the officer guarding the area, he flickered and flew towards the designated spot.

Before long, he arrived on a wide street.

This was originally a bustling commercial street, but now there wasn’t a soul to be seen. The ground was covered with dark red rust. Chu Xiu glanced around, and the space here seemed to have expanded from what he remembered; the distances between streetlamps were greater, and the originally white corners of the walls were now crawling with some sort of dark, unknown vegetation.

The erosion of the Outer Demon Realm had already begun.

”I wonder if there’s still time for me to complete this Mythical Equipment.”

The Horned Demon army in the sky was like a Sword of Damocles hanging upside down, poised to fall at any moment.

As Chu Xiu pondered, a figure appeared in the distance.

This person had a black steel mask on their face, their entire body hidden under a cloak, resembling a ghost walking in the shadows.

Chu Xiu looked at the figure nonchalantly and chuckled lightly, ”We can both see each other’s information on the backend of the communication terminal. At this point, there’s no need to hide our identities, right?”

The person was silent for a moment before letting out a light snort, revealing a woman in tight leather clothing with a high nose bridge and long wavy brown hair.

This was a foreign woman with distinctly sharp features, full lips, and alabaster skin.

Her cat-like amber eyes quietly observed Chu Xiu, the leather outfit outlining well-toned thighs like a leopard resting in the night.

[Wolf of Fear (SS)] Ella, a powerful Awakened from the United Council.

The two quietly stared at each other, neither speaking first. Finally, she flipped her wrist, and a dark gold piece of metal appeared in her hand.

Chu Xiu examined it for a while, but straightforwardly pressed a few buttons on his communication wristband and said, ”A million Cause and Effect Points have been transferred to your account. Don’t think about playing any tricks; it’s just a placeholder at the moment and can be reclaimed anytime.”

Ella looked down to check, then raised her hand and tossed the metal, which traced an arc in the air towards Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu’s body surged with intense demonic qi, forming into a large hand in midair, catching the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron, which appeared to be only the size of a fist but actually weighed over ten tons.

But just as he was about to put it away, he suddenly sensed something, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated backward!

The next instant, a dazzling sword light spanned the entire street, directly severing the demonic qi hand, leaving a giant chasm in its wake. Chu Xiu looked up, and the ten-story building beside the street was already cleaved in two by the sword light, leaving a gap at least five meters wide!

Chu Xiu’s face turned grim, ”What does this mean?”

But as he spoke, he noticed Ella also showing a vigilant expression, retreating over a hundred meters, hunched down on the road, seemingly unaware of this turn of events, which left Chu Xiu slightly puzzled.

He turned his head towards where the sword light appeared and saw, amidst the dust, a pink-haired girl holding a samurai sword slowly emerging.

”It’s you?” Chu Xiu frowned.

This was the strange girl he had briefly encountered when bidding for the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron in his booth!

”I’m here to retrieve my mistress’s belongings,” the girl said calmly.

Chu Xiu sneered, ”I’ve already bought this. Your mistress couldn’t compete fairly, so she intends to rob?”

The girl said, ”You’re right, but my mistress instructed me to handle this, and I must do it well. If you’re willing to deal, I can offer thirty thousand Cause and Effect Points.”

”Don’t think it’s too little; that’s all I have on me.”

”If you refuse, I will take it by force if necessary.”

She paused and added, ”But don’t worry, I won’t kill you, I only want that metal.”

This remark amused Chu Xiu. The girl’s sword light was indeed far beyond his expectations. He initially thought she was just a naive young girl, but in battle, he realized she was a Heroic Spirit!

But even so, what could it change? Chu Xiu was not afraid of ordinary Heroic Spirits now.

However, the girl’s words made him quite curious. Ella was willing to sell this metal at a low price before transacting with her, which the pink-haired girl didn’t know. This can only mean she is not linked to the command network, but why?

Moreover...

”How did you know we were trading here?” Chu Xiu asked.

”I’ve been following you.”

”At this time, you still think I would buy a piece of material?”

”My mistress isn’t around, and I have nothing else to do,” the pink-haired girl said.

This remark made Chu Xiu frown tighter, finding this girl increasingly strange.

However, what’s the use of strange? He wouldn’t let go of something already in his grasp.

But just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard Ella from afar say, ”I deal with you.”

The next moment, her figure vanished without warning as if traversing space itself, appearing by the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron!

”Hmph!”

Chu Xiu’s expression darkened, and before she could grab the metal, a torrent of demonic qi erupted, transforming into countless spears aiming at her. Ella’s figure blurred with extreme agility, and the space around her rippled like water, slipping through dozens of spears!

But just as she was about to seize the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron, a huge tearing sound from space echoed! Ella looked up suddenly, seeing a pair of massive golden wings tearing through space, the terrifying Power of Space accompanying a figure charging towards her with a rapidly enlarging fist!

It was just an ordinary fist, but in an instant, Ella felt a terrifyingly dangerous aura!

Golden wings tore through space, bringing an overwhelming force as a fist rapidly approached!

But then, the same eerie spatial ripple rose by her side, and Chu Xiu’s fist, which should have struck her, barely missed by a hair’s breadth.

Chu Xiu didn’t pursue, turning and reaching for the metal on the ground, but then the earth trembled beneath him, and the fierce sword aura once again filled his view!

Chu Xiu snorted, and the right fist, fused with Auror’s Axe, punched out, shattering the sword light!

Yet a sharp pain emanated from his fist, and looking down, he saw a deep cut on his knuckles.

The Life Force surged within him, quickly healing the wound. Looking up, he found the pink-haired girl closing in swiftly, while the shadows of three wolves of fear loomed behind Ella, as she seemed to meld into the void, disappearing.

The next moment, both of them reappeared simultaneously on either side, launching an attack on Chu Xiu!

This time, the pink-haired girl was not firing sword aura, but the actual blade itself! It was at least a Heroic Spirit Legend item, and Chu Xiu dared not directly confront it. Meanwhile, shadows of three wolves of fear followed Ella, each emitting a formidable force!

Chu Xiu clicked his tongue unhappily and had to temporarily retreat, but at the same time, his demonic qi transformed into countless blades, sweeping outward, and his left hand turned from fist to sword, stabbing like a snake into the void!

Ella and the pink-haired girl, both with high Spiritual Sense, dodged to the sides to avoid direct conflict.

Immediately, the three formed a triangle centered around the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron with a distance of about a hundred meters between them.

Chu Xiu frowned as he looked at the two, feeling frustrated. He hadn’t expected to face such a battle here, not with the Abyss’s monsters but against his fellow humans’ Heroic Spirits!

Moreover, the two seemed to not anticipate that even two against one didn’t gain any advantage, looking at Chu Xiu with a serious expression.

Though none of them had used their full strength, the previous exchange had shown each of them they were not to be underestimated.

The three stared at each other without speaking. After a silent confrontation, they simultaneously charged towards the center’s Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron!

But just as the three were about to engage in a second round of combat, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky!

The sound echoed like an enormous supersonic flying craft crashing head-on into a steel-reinforced concrete building. The terrifying noise almost materialized, exploding like a thousand thunders over Peng City!

Simultaneously, the three halted and looked up, their eyes widening in shock.

From the giant Abyssal Rift, a colossal being was slowly squeezing out.
