Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 303 - 176: Meat Grinder Battlefield

"Clang clang clang!!!"

Under the terrifying power of the Demon Saber, Chu Xiu swung upward, and countless slashes that tore through the air appeared out of thin air. The sound of intense metal rending was heard, and the surface of the Shield Machine instantly appeared densely riddled with cracks!

Even across a distance of hundreds of meters, the concentrated destructive energy was still able to dismember the massive mechanical creation. Steel plates several centimeters thick were as fragile as paper before it!

Meanwhile, a great amount of blood gushed from the Shield Machine, high-tier corrupted creatures that had fused with it, as well as a large number of corrupted inhabitants descending from the sky, were all shattered into flying limbs and blood in the face of this strike.

But amidst this rain of blood, a figure didn’t lose any speed, plummeting straight down from the sky!

"Clang!!!"

With a deafening thunderous sound, the Colonel’s fist pounded heavily onto the Sin Punishing Demon Saber, and the terrifying force caused the saber to ripple like waves, directly sending Chu Xiu flying backward!

"Boom!"

He crashed heavily into the rock wall, embedding several meters deep, and countless stones fell, completely burying him.

At the same time, another path opened from the side, a Shield Machine crushed through the side of the cave, creating a large hole. Countless corrupted inhabitants swarmed out, like ants, rushing towards Chu Xiu, enclosing his collapsed area in layers, leaving no gaps!

But in the next moment, the death-announcing slash appeared once again. Amidst a bone-chilling explosive noise, the rocks covering Chu Xiu, along with the mass of corrupted creatures, exploded outward, then were sliced into countless pieces mid-air and fell!

Chu Xiu stood up at the cave entrance, coldly staring at the Colonel in the distance, now entirely transformed into a bloodied man, with the blood of corrupted creatures constantly corroding the armor on his body.

Yet, there was no fear on his face; whether the Colonel’s heavy blow or the corrosion of the blood, they merely made him look disheveled but actually didn’t inflict any real harm.

With Chu Xiu’s nearly two thousand five abnormal constitution, what is extremely tough for ordinary people, even capable of withstanding heavy machine gun fire rocks, to him, is as fragile as tofu, getting smashed several meters deep just served as a way to stretch his muscles.

However...

Chu Xiu raised his gaze towards the battlefield’s center, as two new openings were created, and tens of thousands of corrupted creatures flooded in, including elite corrupted soldiers!

The two Ghost Generals roared immediately, charging towards one opening each!

The Warhammer Ghost General raised its General’s Weapon high, roaring as it slammed it heavily into the ground, the resulting shockwave shattered the rock wall, countless debris shot out like bullets, blasting the incoming corrupted creatures into disarray, the power of the shockwave directly shattered their internals.

With just one hit, over a hundred corrupted creatures were eliminated!

The Corrupted Warrior was not to be outdone, its form changing continuously in the air, every slash accompanied by dazzling sword aura, slicing numerous corrupted creatures in half.

Simultaneously, many ghosts also reallocated their firepower, aiming at the two newly appeared openings.

Yet even so, they still couldn’t completely seal off the entrance, with many corrupted inhabitants flooding into the trenches, mingling with the ghosts in chaotic battle.

Even though the average level of these corrupted inhabitants was far inferior to the elite Ghostly Legion, they prevailed in overwhelming numbers, and as the openings were continuously expanded by the blood of corrupted creatures’ corrosion, the inflow speed of corrupted creatures was getting faster and faster!

At this point, with another thunderous noise, a third opening appeared!

A massive Shield Machine descended from the sky, slamming heavily into the cave’s center, behind this colossal object, countless corrupted inhabitants fell like a torrential rain from the sky!

Even if some low-tier ones directly fell to their deaths, it didn’t matter. The splattered blood would gradually fill the cave, starting to corrode every creature within!

"I see, they want to physically fill the entire cave with corpses this way?"

"Blood forming streams will continuously corrode my ghosts, and those piled-up corpses can also serve as cover, greatly reducing the Ghostly Legion’s offensive efficiency, shielding more corrupted creatures to charge in."

"By then, even if my Ghostly Legion is powerful, it will gradually sustain damage, planning to exhaust me by a ten-to-one, hundred-to-one, even thousand-to-one loss ratio?"

"And after stalling the Ghostly Legion, it should then be time for the ’decapitation operation’."

Chu Xiu slightly squinted his eyes, turning his head to look at the Colonel, this powerful creature, after landing a hit, did not rush to launch an attack, instead, it steadily guarded the retreat path, not allowing Chu Xiu to approach even a bit, calmly waiting for reinforcements to continue entering the cave.

This was worrying that once Chu Xiu sensed the disadvantage, he would, before the corrupted creatures gathered in large numbers, rely on the Ghostly Legion’s cover to break through and escape back.

If Chu Xiu’s guess was correct, in his escape route, there should be a fourth Shield Machine, digging a path from another place, currently accumulating corrupted creatures continuously within the cave, entirely blocking his retreat path!

Evidently, that subterranean calamity had already formulated a complete plan before coming. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It must be said, this way of consuming Chu Xiu massively with human waves, and finally relying on high-tier combat power for a decapitation approach, if it dealt with the combat power he previously exhibited, was indeed the most reliable strategy.

But for the current Chu Xiu, it’s exactly what he wanted!

Chu Xiu had long anticipated the various battle tactics of the opponent and had prior prepared corresponding contingency plans!
