Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 429 - 219: Formidable Enemy (Part 2)

Under such enhancement, the speed of the Flying Corpse reached an unimaginable level, causing continuous explosive sounds as the air was compressed to the extreme wherever it passed! The speed reached an astonishing eight times the speed of sound!

However, at this moment, a golden light chased after the Flying Corpse from behind, piercing Chu Xiu’s shoulder blade with great force, the massive impact causing him to directly fall onto the Flying Corpse!

Turning around, Chu Xiu saw it was a golden feather!

Moreover, after the feather pierced into Chu Xiu’s body, it suddenly exploded like a timed bomb, unleashing an extreme burst of light and heat. Chu Xiu groaned, his shoulder already a bloody mess!

He turned to look, the Flying Corpse, though incredibly fast under heavy enhancement, was still surpassed by Garuda’s speed! With a vibration of its massive wings, it seemed to distort space, crossing several kilometers in an instant, constantly closing the distance with Chu Xiu!

"The legend says a Golden-winged Roc can fly ninety thousand miles in one flap, though this one’s speed is far from the myth, it’s still extremely astonishing. No wonder it’s a trial of Apocalypse Difficulty."

Chu Xiu even thought that perhaps the difficulty of the Heroic Spirit trial wasn’t more challenging than this!

However, fortunately, Garuda wasn’t without weaknesses; its speed was indeed fast, but its attack power was far inferior to Asura’s.

With a thought, Chu Xiu summoned a large amount of flesh and blood from the Blood Demon Incarnation, forming a small Blood Sea Domain.

This was a variant skill of the Blood Sea Domain, but its purpose changed from restraining and controlling others to protecting himself!

One golden feather after another shot at the Flying Corpse, causing intense explosions, but they were all blocked by layers of flesh, and however much flesh Garuda destroyed, the Blood Demon Incarnation would regenerate just as much.

"What a nuisance, no wonder those three Yaksha guys lost their lives so easily."

"Yet, let me see how many times you can resurrect!"

Garuda’s golden eyes grew even more ferocious, as a faint glow emitted from the black orb above its head. The golden feathers on its wings burst forth with a light as fierce as the sun!

However, just as it was about to launch another attack on Chu Xiu, a faint voice suddenly reached its ears: "That’s enough, Garuda, don’t waste your Divine Power anymore."

Garuda’s body paused, turning to look behind, Asura was standing calmly on the back of a Three-headed Python, approaching slowly like a monarch.

"Asura, do you think I am not their match?" Garuda’s tone was icy.

"I’m reminding you not to fall into the enemy’s trap," Asura said mildly, nodding slightly to indicate he look into the distance.

Garuda turned back, squinting, his golden eyes flashed a hint of surprise, seeing that the enemy who was gravely injured moments ago was now rapidly healing, even the broken bones were regrowing and healing!

He looked further away and saw a towering Blood Vine hidden in the mist.

Garuda sensed carefully, the surprise in his eyes growing stronger.

"What astonishing life force, what trick is the Buddhist Sect playing now?"

"Not sure, but this dense life force can’t be achieved even with a blood sacrifice of ten thousand boys and girls, it seems they’ve brought out some treasured Buddhist Artifact," Asura judged with narrowed eyes.

"Fighting strong enemies under such conditions isn’t wise. The enemy is very strong, though I suppressed them, it wasn’t without cost."

"However, such a dense life force can’t be stored for long, after a day or two, most of it will dissipate, then we can fight again, we’ve waited hundreds of years, what’s a day or two more?"

"Moreover, with Qian Dapo, we don’t need to engage in direct battles, especially when the opponent is well-prepared, it’s better to first understand the enemy’s capabilities," Asura calmly analyzed, looking a world different from the battle-crazy person before.

Garuda no longer pursued but nodded his bird head: "Asura, I’ll listen to you."

Saying that, it retreated, and Asura, after taking a distant glance at Chu Xiu, returned to the Fallen Paradise.

"Retreated?"

On the other side, watching the two disappear, Chu Xiu felt a bit of regret.

After eliminating millions of Hungry Ghosts, the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine had grown to its fullest form, storing vast amounts of life energy.

If Asura and Garuda had stubbornly insisted on fighting, even counting the yet-to-appear Qian Dapo, Chu Xiu was confident in defeating the opponent.

But now it seemed the opponent was no fool.

"In that case, things get a bit tricky."

Chu Xiu glanced at the empty barracks.

Liang Zhan, according to his instructions, was already leading the soldiers to rally the residents toward the main city.

According to the original plan, Chu Xiu should have caught up with them on time.

"However, if I want a perfect clearance, I must hold here."

"Otherwise, if Asura and others sneak into the main city and cause havoc, who knows how many will die."

But this made things troublesome, as the Blood Demon Incarnation and Chu Xiu, although capable of acting separately, were connected through the mind. If too far apart, Chu Xiu would lose control over the Blood Demon Incarnation, and Rasputin might seize the opportunity to take charge, which Chu Xiu couldn’t allow.

The Blood Demon Incarnation was key to deification, in his eyes, he’d rather fail the trial than let anything go wrong with it.

Moreover, if the two were separated, even Asura couldn’t be stopped from forcing through.

But if both cannot leave, what about the Buddhist Sect?

"Why not try negotiating with Asura?"

Actually, as it stands, Asura and Chu Xiu’s goals are similar, both aiming to find a way to the Outer World from the Buddhist Sect, theoretically, cooperation is possible.

But this thought was quickly dismissed by Chu Xiu.

He had already killed the three Yaksha, in the opponent’s eyes, he was undoubtedly from the Buddhist Sect faction, anything he said was likely not to be believed by the opponent.

Even if believed, Chu Xiu wasn’t comfortable working with Asura, as the other’s goal was just to leave, whereas Chu Xiu had to take twenty thousand people with him. Though seemingly similar, they were fundamentally different, and unexpected situations could arise.

If Chu Xiu didn’t have the perfect clearance in mind, he might have tried it, but not now.

While pondering, a voice rose from below: "Sir! You’re finally back!"

Looking down, Chu Xiu saw the young man he had caught earlier secretly researching forbidden items, now looking at him with excitement and admiration.

"Sir, I haven’t introduced myself, I’m Ling Feiyu. The General instructed me to wait here for your return and to relay messages to you."

Chu Xiu nodded, a plan forming in his mind.

With a thought, the Blood Demon Incarnation beside him roared lowly, its Blood Demon body started hardening, then at its hardest, it began to crack, and soon after, a faceless and naked man emerged from within.

Talent [Blood Demon Follower]

The talent of Blood Demon Follower allowed him to transform Low Tier Blood Demons into his followers, forcibly raising their tier.

However, this talent had another use, which was to create a clone entirely with his own Essence Blood.

Due to the Blood Demon’s strong connection, Chu Xiu could remotely control this clone even from dozens of kilometers away.

"Let’s have this clone go to the Buddhist Sect for negotiations first."

"Although power is important, it seems the Buddhist Sect and I have no conflict of interest, perhaps things can be resolved without force."

The Blood Demon clone had many pros, but a notable con was its lack of power, only possessing Attributes of Fierce Tier’s peak.

Chu Xiu thought for a moment, then equipped it with some spare Equipment, pushing its combat power barely to the level of General Tier.

"Having Liang Zhan and others accompany should be sufficient."

Decision made, he wasted no time, letting the clone ride the Four-winged Strange Bird and accompany Ling Feiyu to catch up with Liang Zhan’s main force.

He himself remained firmly stationed at the border pass. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Of course, Chu Xiu wasn’t idle, he activated "Perfect Refining" on the Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch, while sitting cross-legged to recover his Mana and Golden Embryo Origin within.

He was preparing a grand gift for Asura, and next time they meet, he would not be caught in such a sorry state again.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Asura was also preparing for battle with Chu Xiu.

"Rip."

Asura reached out and grabbed, his five fingers like sharp blades, completely destroying the last structure of the Blood Sea Domain.

With the sound of tearing, the body of the Alien Civilization Envoy that was bound fell out.
