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

Chapter 187 Four Blood Demon Familiars

"finally come."

Chu Xiu carefully examined the bright red creature in front of him. It had a humanoid body, but it was much longer and more slender, like a blood-soaked human whose skin had been peeled off and only flesh and blood remained, with extremely long limbs.

Eight tentacles split open from its back and swayed behind it, reminding Chu Xiu of the Blood Demon servants he had fought before. The two had some similarities in appearance, but the Blood Demon servant in front of him gave people a much more noble and elegant feeling. It was not like a bloodthirsty beast, but more like an intelligent creature.

He could clearly feel that a rich abyssal aura was continuously emanating from his body.

"A physique of four thousand, as expected of a king-level being, and as a familiar, it should also have many special skills!"

"My prediction was correct. The king-level creatures here are all blood demon servants nurtured by the subterranean calamity using its own power; they are pure abyssal beings!"

"That's the real big deal!"

Excitement flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, and the Sinful Demon Blade in his hand emitted a cheerful hum.

However, before he could make a move, another similar figure suddenly appeared, and at the same time, Blood Demon's followers descended from another direction!
Chu Xiu turned his head and, as expected, another blood-red figure appeared behind him, hovering silently in mid-air.

Four King-rank weapons in total!

"This is a full-scale mobilization."

However, Chu Xiu was not surprised. If the roles were reversed, he would definitely not hold back and would send out his strongest forces to wipe out the powerful enemy in one fell swoop.

The scene of the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather one by one only appears in comics.

Just as he was sizing up his enemy, the Blood Demon's familiar in front of him suddenly spat out a large clump of black sludge. This sludge fell to the ground and instantly grew into a tentacle more than ten meters long, which then rapidly split in all directions!

The other three Blood Demon Familiars did the same thing. In just a few breaths, their dense tentacles formed a huge cage, sealing off the entire plantation!
Chu Xiu had seen this method before. When he rescued Xue Li, Su Jinyu, and others, the corrupted awakeners used a similar method to trap them.

However, this cage, cast by the Blood Demon's retinue, appears to be much more robust and massive.

Moreover, the moment these tentacles completely surrounded the planting field, they seemed to form a special domain. A dense [corruption] power emanated from the tentacles, and all the corrupted creatures that came into contact with them roared in anger, their bodies expanding at a visible speed. According to the data scanned by the Ghostly Eye, their physiques directly doubled!
Furthermore, that strange power has a special healing effect on corrupted creatures, and can even reconnect broken limbs!

They roared like wild beasts that had completely lost their minds, rushing towards Chu Xiu without regard for the consequences. Even if they were cut in two by the ghosts' attacks in the next instant, more corrupted creatures rushed forward from behind them without regard for their own lives!
At the same time, more corrupted creatures descended from the ceiling. These creatures were even more elite, averaging the warrior rank, with some even mixed in with the ferocious rank!

Every second, thousands of warriors fell like rain, and all that could be seen were the roaring figures of corrupted creatures. Even Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

"A very reasonable tactic."

"In order to subdue me, instead of rushing to attack, they first cut off my escape routes, and then use more elite corrupted creatures to wear me down?"

Chu Xiu lowered his dark eyes slightly. Under the continuous onslaught of the corrupted creatures, his ghost army had begun to suffer losses, and his defenses were retreating steadily.

Although the team has a high-level combat force of two ghost generals and two hundred fierce ghosts, there has been no sign of defeat yet, but the lower-level fierce ghosts and yin ghosts have begun to be torn apart in large numbers!

"Humph."

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, leaped up, no longer watching the battle, and his body plummeted straight into the swarm of corrupted creatures like a meteor!

"boom!"

Several corrupted creatures were sent flying by the enormous impact, but the surrounding corrupted creatures immediately filled the gap, pouncing on Chu Xiu and frantically tearing at his body.

More corrupted creatures clung to their companions' bodies and squeezed in. Chu Xiu was like a piece of fat meat thrown into an anthill, and in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by countless corrupted creatures, layer upon layer.

A look of disgust flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the Great Sun Guardian Shield appeared in his hand, its light as bright as incandescence.

Two seconds later, with a huge roar, a fireball rose into the air from Chu Xiu as the center. Terrifying flames swept outwards like a tsunami. The shockwave of the explosion shattered the nearby corrupted creatures. The limbs vaporized and disappeared in the high temperature. The corrupted creatures surrounding Chu Xiu were instantly blown into pieces and scattered hundreds of meters away!

With a single strike, Chu Xiu cleared out all the corrupted creatures within a radius of 100 meters, killing at least several thousand!
When used for defense at the Warrior rank, the legendary equipment Great Sun Guardian Shield only provides 220 points of base defense. Even at the Ferocious rank, it only provides 580 points, making its defensive power slightly weaker compared to similar items.

However, it comes with a large-area group attack skill. At the cost of extra charging time, extremely long cooldown time, and the loss of all attribute bonuses during cooldown, it can unleash energy output comparable to a king-level character in a short time, making it perfect for dealing with hordes of enemies.

Looking at the limbs engulfed in flames and flying everywhere, Chu Xiu felt extremely relieved.

With so many corrupted creatures killed in the central area, the pressure on the ghost army immediately dropped, leaving room for them to deal damage again. Chu Xiu did not stop there; the Demon of Judgment kept swinging his blade, each strike taking away hundreds of lives!

However, instead of feeling any pity for Chu Xiu as he slaughtered indiscriminately, the four Blood Demon's followers revealed strange smiles.

Suddenly, the ceiling containing a massive amount of corrupted creatures opened another layer, and hundreds of machine guns and grenade launchers hanging upside down simultaneously descended, aiming at Chu Xiu's ghost army!
The next moment, deafening gunfire erupted!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One grenade after another landed among the ghost army, instantly exploding into huge flames. Tens of thousands of fragments, propelled by the high explosives, flew in all directions, creating a huge kill radius!
Because the ghosts and corrupted creatures were fighting each other, most of the power of these grenades was actually borne by the corrupted creatures. The machine guns simply fired without any aiming, forming a dense fire network of indiscriminate attacks!
The other side's attitude was clear: they didn't care about the lives of ordinary corrupted creatures at all, and attacked indiscriminately along with the ghosts! Even if it meant killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own, or killing a hundred enemies while losing eight thousand of their own, they would do anything to deplete Chu Xiu's power!

"They're really going to take me down without considering the consequences," Chu Xiu clicked his tongue lightly.

Just then, one of the Blood Demon's followers suddenly let out a human laugh: "Outsider, you probably didn't expect that I have a King-level rank, did you?"

"Did you think that after killing my King-level opponent, I had no other tricks up my sleeve and that you had me cornered?"

"Unfortunately, sometimes, the overconfident hunter is the prey!"

"I told you, you'd regret it!"

Its voice betrayed an undisguised smugness.

Clearly, this is the voice of the calamity-controlling minions from the underground.

This left Chu Xiu speechless for a moment.

What on earth is this guy imagining?

Chu Xiu ignored him, simply raising his hand and unleashing a blade slash that killed the large number of corrupted creatures that attacked.

The calamity's laughter continued: "Don't struggle, I've already planned this out."

"I have to admit, you are quite strong among humans."

"With your strength, if you had tried to break through from the beginning, I might not have been able to keep you here. Even if I had forced you to stay, I might have had to sacrifice one or two of my familiars."

"But your mistake was that you were too greedy and wasted too much of your power on these low-level corrupted creatures."

"If I'm not mistaken, you probably only have half the energy left in your body right now, right? And your summoned army seems to be starting to falter as well."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Chu Xiu interrupted him impatiently. Calamity's voice faltered, then he sneered, "Still putting on a brave face? However, the moment the Corruption Domain was formed, this space was completely sealed off, and you have nowhere to retreat."

"The reason I'm talking to you a little longer is to give you another chance."

"The previous proposal still stands. You hand over the Blood Demon and the other [contaminants] to me, and I will give you a great deal of benefits and be willing to share this world with you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu smiled.

He understood the purpose of this calamity and his rambling nonsense.

The other side was afraid that he would be driven to desperation and kill Rasputin, resulting in a mutual destruction.

With a slight chuckle, Chu Xiu shook his head, raised his eyes, and looked calmly at the Blood Demon's retinue in front of him.

"You just said that you have completely sealed off this space, and I have nowhere to escape, right?"

"That's wonderful!"

"Huh?" Calamity was slightly taken aback, as if it had finally realized something was wrong. The Chu Xiu in front of it did not look like a wild beast that had fallen into a trap, but rather more like a hunter who was ready to pounce!
Before he could react, Chu Xiu suddenly waved the Hundred Soul Banner!

"Roar!!!"

Instantly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire space, and tall figures stepped out—one, two, a total of four ghost generals!

These ghost generals exuded a fierce aura, and behind them, a large number of ghosts rushed out!

This scene left the Blood Demon's retinue in the distance completely stunned, their blood-red pupils filled with disbelief.

In the last battle, Chu Xiu's Ghost General had already left a deep impression on it, but now you're telling me that he has four more of these bug-like beings?

Moreover, even the accompanying vengeful spirits are not lacking at all!
And this is not over yet!
Surrounded by demonic energy, Chu Xiu smiled faintly and snapped his fingers lightly.

The next moment, all the ghosts were covered in a layer of dark glow, their injuries were rapidly healed, and each ghost became more ferocious and powerful!
[Command - Charge!]! [Command - Rest!]!
Chu Xiu's magical power surged forth, and with the blessing of the two general's orders, all the ghosts, as if they had activated an invincible buff, began to frantically slaughter the corrupted creatures around them.

Even though high-level corrupted creatures continue to join, the increase in their numbers is far outpaced by the speed at which the ghosts are slaughtering them! The ghosts, who were originally forced to huddle in a small circle by the dense swarms of corrupted creatures, are now advancing rapidly across the battle line like mowing grass!

"this!"

The Blood Demon's servants, possessed by the calamity, stared wide-eyed, never expecting that the situation would be reversed in an instant!

Its expression turned extremely ugly, but it was still not too panicked. Although it didn't know why Chu Xiu's ghost army could expand so much in just three days, it still had plenty of confidence with these four king-level guards.

It's just that the losses will be greater than expected.

However, just as it was preparing to launch an attack with a pained expression, it suddenly saw a dazzling golden light shining in Chu Xiu's dark eyes in the distance.

In an instant, the calamity felt a chill surge from the soles of its feet to the top of its head. It instinctively felt an immense fear, and every cell in its body screamed wildly, urging it to run away, to run away at all costs!

The next moment, a winged figure appeared in front of Chu Xiu, transforming into a streak of light and approaching him at an incredible speed!

The calamity's eyes showed horror, and it dodged to the side without hesitation. But it was immediately horrified to find that under Chu Xiu's gaze, it was as if it were facing a high-ranking god. Every muscle in its body seemed to be out of control, trembling with fear, making it unable to move at all!
"Pfft!"

As a flash of light appeared, Calamity felt his vision begin to spin. Looking down, he saw a giant sword sweep past and cut him in two!
The flying corpse looked down at it indifferently, its bone sword still dripping blood.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Before he could finish speaking, the sword flashed again, and in the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon's body was cut into hundreds of different pieces!
This Blood Demon's minion was indeed quite special. Even after being cut into so many pieces, it was still alive. Instead, the different parts were connected by strange blood threads, and the core in its chest emitted a bloody light as it fled outwards at high speed.

But in the next instant, the calamity met Chu Xiu's cold, golden eyes.

Chu Xiu merely watched calmly, and a fierce flame ignited on its body.

These flames weren't particularly powerful, but since its body had already been shattered, the flames that ignited without warning were enough to destroy its regenerative abilities.

Amidst screams, the Blood Demon's familiar's body transformed into a burning fireball and plummeted from the sky!

"boom!"

Its body crashed heavily to the ground, shattering into countless pieces of charred remains. Almost simultaneously, another Blood Demon's minion rang out in a voice filled with terror and disbelief: "What kind of skill is this? How could a Fiend-rank creature like you possess such a terrifying skill?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow: "How did you know I'm a fierce-level monster?"

The calamity fell silent, its face ashen, as if it had eaten excrement.

It finally realized that it wasn't Chu Xiu who was ambushed, but rather it that had fallen into the other party's trap!
And the current situation feels so damn familiar!

"You've been hiding your true strength!"

Calamity let out a furious scream, as if recalling some painful memory, and without the slightest hesitation, it manipulated the Blood Demon's familiar to turn and run away!
But it was too late. Chu Xiu lowered his gaze, and the dazzling golden light flashed again, instantly suppressing the Blood Demon's followers as if they were being forcibly suppressed by an immense pressure, making their movements extremely slow.

At the same time, a dense demonic aura also surged from the spiritual flesh storage bag at his waist!

【Bone Binding Soul Technique】!
Although he had not practiced this inheritance and his proficiency was only at the lowest level, it still possessed considerable power because its strength was linked to the size of the ghost army!

The six ghost generals below roared in unison, and countless undead soared into the sky, wrapping around the other two Blood Demon minions. Although the suppressive force was not as great as that locked by the Golden Eyes, it still slowed down their movements considerably!
What's worse, this place is completely sealed off by their corrupting tentacles, and it seems that in order to strengthen the power of the seal, even the Blood Demon's minions cannot pass through these tentacles!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two ghost generals led their vengeful ghosts and chased after the two blood demon's followers, relentlessly entangled with them.

Now, the remaining three Blood Demon minions are all under control!

"Then what's next?"

"It's time for the killing."

The flying corpse left a trail of afterimages in the air, and the next moment, a sharp sword light bloomed in the arena.
