An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 126 Gladiator Badge

Looking at the figure in front of him, Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is a humanoid creature, nearly three meters tall, but with a very slender body. It wears a black warrior's armor, a dark red demon mask on its face, and holds a long blade in each hand. Two demonic arms grow from its back, one holding a shield and the other a spear.

Beneath the demon mask, dark pupils stared unblinkingly at Chu Xiu.

The moment their eyes met, Chu Xiu knew that the creature before him must be a battle-hardened and experienced warrior.

Without being careless, Chu Xiu gripped the bone spear tightly with his hands, which radiated demonic energy, and a pair of demonic hands appeared behind him, ready to defend at any moment.

They stared at each other, and without the slightest warning, they moved at the same time!

The four-armed, masked warrior took a step forward, his figure seemingly teleporting, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, his right-hand longsword slashing straight at Chu Xiu's face!

"clang!!!"

Chu Xiu raised his bone spear to block, but the masked warrior did not stop at all, and his other hand swung his long sword down again! Its body spun, and each slash was made more powerful by the force of the twisting of its waist and abdomen. At the same time, the arm holding the spear behind its back was raised high, like a venomous snake that was ready to strike, looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow!
"Clang clang clang!!!"

Chu Xiu parried several attacks in succession, and finally his expression darkened slightly. He entered a berserk state with his Heavenly Demon Hand and threw a punch!
However, the masked warrior was only testing the waters. With a nimble twist of his body, he easily dodged the heavy blow from the berserk demon's hand.

Both of them retreated simultaneously, their eyes filled with seriousness.

"This guy's physique is probably close to five hundred!"

This value is already extremely terrifying among warrior-level beings. You should know that even the constitution of a royal elite ghoul is only 700, and it is the type that excels in constitution. Some ordinary fierce-level elites don't even have a constitution of 500!

"And it's the agile type, which is my biggest headache!"

"What's more troublesome is that it doesn't rely on brute force like a ghoul, but its combat skills are extremely high, far superior to mine."

"It seems that these four gods specifically chose the type that can counter me."

Just as Chu Xiu was pondering this, the four-armed warrior opposite him charged out again!

This time, the opponent was clearly serious, moving even faster than before, his long sword creating a series of afterimages!

Fortunately, Chu Xiu reacted extremely quickly, parrying the bone spear back and forth, taking all the hits. But at this moment, the masked warrior's figure flashed, and he suddenly turned into two identical phantoms!

Chu Xiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of danger rose in his heart. He quickly pushed the Nether Demon Eye to its limit!

His reaction was extremely fast; he identified the true form's location almost in the blink of an eye. However, in battles between extraordinary beings, even a 0.01-second mistake can be extremely fatal!

The masked warrior deflected Chu Xiu's bone spear with one slash, and then struck the berserk demon's hand with the other, creating a slight gap in Chu Xiu's tight defense. At the same time, the spear behind him, which had been poised for a long time, shot out like a sharp arrow!
"clang!!!"

The spear struck Chu Xiu squarely in the chest, and most of the shield on Elder Pain's robe was knocked off. At the same time, Chu Xiu was sent flying backward by the enormous impact!

He retreated more than ten meters before he could barely steady himself. By then, the exquisite bone armor had developed a crack!
A look of surprise appeared in the masked samurai's eyes, as if he hadn't expected that his long-planned attack wouldn't cause much damage.

The four gods, on the other hand, were quite happy. Their phantom images flickered as they communicated in some special way.

Furthermore, Chu Xiu noticed that there seemed to be a faint blood-red dotted line connecting them.

“The four gods have started the game,” the tongue slurred, “You’d better hurry up and do your best. The winner of the game usually gets great benefits.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu let out a soft sigh and touched his chest.

The slight pain he felt made him feel somewhat emotional.

"My combat skills are still too immature."

"After fighting so many ghouls, it's really hard to get used to encountering a master of weaponry like this."

In fact, if their combat skills were comparable, even if Chu Xiu's physique was inferior to his opponent's, the masked warrior would not be able to break through with his two berserk demon hands.

"I need to hone my combat skills when I get back," Chu Xiu thought to himself.

"But now, let me end this battle."

A fierce glint flashed in Chu Xiu's dark eyes. He let out a low shout, and at the same time, dense demonic energy rose from his body, completely enveloping him!

The masked warrior's pupils contracted, as if he instinctively sensed a threat, but before he could react, he saw Chu Xiu's figure burst out!

Chu Xiu's speed this time was much faster than before, almost like a cannonball being launched. The masked warrior was terrified and hurriedly raised his sword to defend, but he was sent flying by a punch as soon as he got into position!

After activating the second layer of demonic energy infusion, Chu Xiuguang's basic physique reached 450 points! With the additional power of spells, the perfected level of the Mysterious Steps made his speed increase again, and combined with the Vampire Earl's Wings, his speed reached an unbelievable level!

Chu Xiu gave the masked warrior no chance and immediately activated the Mysterious Step with four times the mana output! His speed soared again, and he turned into a blur that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, directly catching up with the masked warrior who had been knocked away!

Under the four-times mana output mode, the surging energy within Chu Xiu's body was like a roaring river. Under the overload of energy injection, the power of the Berserk Demon Hand instantly broke through one thousand and continued to charge towards even higher values, finally reaching a full one thousand four hundred points! In the horrified gaze of the Ghost-Faced Warrior, the Berserk Demon Hand unleashed a punch!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, and without any suspense, the armor on the masked warrior's body shattered, and his flesh was torn to pieces. Large amounts of flesh and blood flew out in all directions under the impact, and the remaining body flew backward like a rag doll, finally crashing to the ground with a "thud".

The skeleton of his body was almost completely shattered, with only broken flesh and skin barely holding it together. The masked warrior lay on the ground, barely breathing.

The four deities fell silent instantly, ceasing their radiance.

They might have thought Chu Xiu would win, but they never imagined he would win in this way.

A crushing defeat without a doubt!
Chu Xiu remained quite calm about this.

With a base constitution of 450, combined with super high mobility and a punch with a power of up to 1400, he can achieve great results.

Which warrior-class soldier could possibly stop this?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have readily accepted the challenge.

At this moment, four blood vessels extended from the statues of the four gods, each ending in a large eyeball. The four eyeballs came very close to Chu Xiu, scrutinizing him back and forth.

It seems even the four great gods couldn't believe that there could be such a terrifying warrior-level being.

After a long while, they withdrew their eyes. Two of the gods blinked, seemingly having left cursing after their fruitless inspection. The remaining ones were the maggot gods who had appeared in the boundless blood pool and the second battle.

They seemed to be in good spirits, probably because Chu Xiu had won the bet.

At almost the same moment, a notification sound rang in Chu Xiu's ear.

Your fame in the Abyss has increased!

"Oh?"

Chu Xiu was a little surprised. This prompt had also appeared when he was beating up the Avatar of Pain. It seemed that as long as he left a deep enough impression on certain superior beings, he could get this prompt.

Although he doesn't yet know what use it is.

Just as Chu Xiu was pondering, the surrounding scenery began to disintegrate, like a shattered mirror being turned into fragments and disappearing.

Chu Xiu returned to that ancient, desolate arena.

The masked samurai's corpse lay before him, completely lifeless, and his equipment had been dropped.

All four weapons are of [Perfect] quality.

The weapon wasn't of much help, but the shield was alright; it could further enhance Chu Xiu's defense.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Xiu collected all the items and stood before the four statues of gods, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

These four [perfect] pieces of equipment are, for ordinary Awakened Ones, a tremendous opportunity that is no less than becoming rich overnight.

But for Chu Xiu, it was just an appetizer!
What he truly anticipated was the reward promised by the boundless blood pool, and the blessing that would follow!

As Chu Xiu approached, the boundless blood pool excitedly spewed out a large amount of blood, seemingly because the previous bet had brought the god a great reward, putting him in a very good mood.

A flash of blood-red light appeared, and three orbs of light fell from the blood pool.

Chu Xiu quickly stepped forward and picked it up.
