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

Chapter 346 The Blessing of the God of Suffering

"boom!"

The raging torrent of energy transformed into a raging fire capable of melting everything, completely engulfing the murderer.

However, when the sword energy landed, Chu Xiu did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he looked at the front of him with a solemn expression.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, two enormous, pale, ghostly hands slowly emerged.

Chu Xiu's destructive energy, condensed to its extreme, left obvious burn marks on the two ghost hands, from which wisps of white smoke rose.

That strange, ghostly hand actually caught the attack!
Although Chu Xiu used most of his divine and demonic power to accelerate his movement in order to catch up with the killer as soon as possible, and this sword was also swung hastily, he did not hold back at all, and pushed the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body of the Ninth Heaven to its limit!
The sword energy unleashed was already extremely close in power to that of a demigod!

But it was blocked by a pair of strange, ghostly hands that were four or five meters tall!
"Kakakaka."

Two ghostly hands stretched outwards, revealing the murderer's somewhat morbid face.

At this moment, for the first time, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, which had been filled with madness.

"Strange, how did you manage to spot me? And why did you suddenly suspect me before?"

In fact, there are many suspicious points about the killer. For example, as an elite agent who knows that the killer is good at disguise, he did not take any precautions when they first met. Another example is his strange red eyes, which are hard to associate with any past or future vision. Yet another example is that he did not anticipate the ghost's attack and allowed it to attack Chu Xiu.

But Chu Xiu's answer was:
"die!"

He reached out and released Jiang Miaoyin, then stepped forward, thrusting out the Chiwen sword in his hand with unparalleled power once more!

"Heh." The killer chuckled and retreated rapidly, as a large amount of black mist suddenly spewed out from the palms of the two ghostly hands behind him!
"boom!"

The unparalleled sword energy directly blasted away the black mist, but when it approached the murderer, it seemed to be blocked by some force and split in all directions!

At the same time, more black mist spewed out from the ghost's hands.

Chu Xiu showed no fear, accelerated again, and charged directly into the black mist!
When the Chiwen's true form comes into contact with the opponent, its power will increase greatly. Chu Xiu did not believe that those ghost hands could even block the Chiwen's true form!

His divine sense firmly locked onto the murderer's location, and with the acceleration of the divine and demonic power, he rushed in front of him in less than the blink of an eye, raising the Chiwen in his hand and slamming it down heavily!
However, at that moment, a Guan Dao (a type of halberd) suddenly emerged from the black mist without warning!
"clang!!!"

The Chiwen clashed head-on with the Guan Dao, and Chu Xiu felt an immense force surge through his hand! Although the Chiwen, strengthened by the essence of the magic weapon, still managed to smash the Guan Dao, Chu Xiu felt a numbness in his hand, and his offensive momentum came to a halt!
Before he could even swing his sword a second time, a Tang sword suddenly thrust out from below him without warning!
Chu Xiu was caught off guard and was stabbed directly!
Instantly, a piercing sound of metal clashing echoed through the cave. The Tang sword was deflected by Chu Xiu's body, but it left a deep, bone-revealing wound on his side!

Chu Xiu's expression changed slightly. He stopped acting rashly and instead pulled back to create some distance.

"Hehe, you don't actually think I was able to kill Zhao Jie just because of my spatial cutting talent, do you?"

As the killer's sinister laughter echoed, the fog dissipated, revealing his pale face.

Chu Xiu finally saw the full picture of what had attacked him earlier. Behind the killer, two huge spatial rifts opened, and two ghostly hands stretched out from the rifts, hovering above the killer. Threads hung down from between the fingers, and below the palms were two figures controlled by the threads.

On the right is a burly warrior, wearing heavy armor and holding a Guan Dao (a type of halberd). The tip of the Guan Dao has been shattered by Chu Xiu, but thick black mist surrounds it, and the blade quickly reforms itself as the mist gathers.

Chu Xiu immediately recognized that the weapon was formed from a special kind of Yin energy, and it was similar to the weapon of his Ghost General.

The killer withdrew the black mist, presumably to help this general repair his weapon.

On the other side stood a swordsman wielding knives in both hands, the one who had ambushed Chu Xiu earlier.

The two men were expressionless, and their skin was ashen, like that of a dead man. But from their brief exchange just now, Chu Xiu could clearly feel that their fighting skills were incredibly superb!

Chu Xiu's sword strike should have cleaved the general and his sword in two, but he used a very clever way to deflect the force and managed to withstand it. The swordsman's thrust was as swift and cunning as a venomous snake.

Looking at the spatial rift connected by the ghostly hand, Chu Xiu sneered thoughtfully, "Is this the reward the extraterrestrial demons gave you? They're quite generous."

"No, they're just two souls who honed their skills to perfection through suffering." The killer smiled and pointed to his chest.

"The real trump card is here."

Sometime later, he was wearing a suit of heavy armor covered with numerous sharp bone spurs.

"So they still have a trump card up their sleeve?"

Chu Xiu frowned deeply. The killer was much more troublesome than he had imagined!
Keep in mind that up to this point, the opponent hasn't even used the ability to cut through space yet!
Zhao Jie most likely met his tragic end because he severely misjudged the killer's strength.

However, Chu Xiu showed no fear. He snorted, shook the Chiwen in his hand, and resumed his fighting stance.

Although he suffered a minor setback in their first encounter, he also had a lot of trump cards up his sleeve!

A terrifying aura rose from his body, and the power of gods and demons surged through his limbs and bones, as if a demon god truly resided within his body!
Sensing that aura, the murderer's expression changed. The playful look on his face disappeared, replaced by excited madness!

His greatest pleasure in life was hunting those stronger than himself.

Those powerful individuals who are revered as geniuses are his primary focus!

He reveled in the intense sense of accomplishment that came from meticulously planning and ultimately hunting down beings far stronger than himself! He reveled in the thrill of dancing on a tightrope, where one wrong step meant certain death! He reveled in the bitter resentment of repeatedly escaping from his enemies, leaving them seething with resentment and utter helplessness!
With each successful hunt, an immense thrill would erupt from his entire body!

For him, that feeling was a thousand times more captivating than any power or beauty!
Furthermore, he is not afraid of failure.

For him, failure is like temporarily storing fine wine; the more failures he experiences, the more fragrant and mellow the wine will become when it is finally released!

Once he sets his sights on a target, it's a fight to the death!
All of these factors combined have made the killer such a fearsome and infamous figure!
Originally, Chu Xiu was just a practice target he randomly chose. He didn't take the first failure to heart. He was sure that as time went on, he would soon find an opportunity to easily kill Chu Xiu, because that was always the case. As a genius at the level of a civilization envoy, almost no one could keep up with his leveling speed.

But when they met for the second time, the killer was shocked to find that he had been completely outmatched! The gap between him and Chu Xiu was even greater than the first time!
After that, every time they met, the killer could feel that Chu Xiu's strength had made a terrifying leap. The speed at which his strength increased was many times faster than that of himself, a top genius!
After being promoted to Heroic Spirit, he wanted to avenge his previous defeat, but was shocked to find that he was still no match for Chu Xiu!

After repeated failures, Chu Xiu has become the target he has always wanted to hunt most in his life!
Abandoning cautious self-preservation measures and facing such an opponent head-on, he felt no fear; instead, every cell in his body was screaming with excitement!

"Come on, Qin Yu, I'm tired of running away too. Let me see who will be the final victor between us!"

As soon as the words fell, all the barbs on the killer's armor suddenly extended, like sharp fishhooks, hooking his skin and tearing it outwards! At the same time, dozens of long needles emerged from his helmet, piercing his skull!
The brain damage and extreme pain drove the killer to jump and leap like a madman, constantly letting out excited howls!
This scene brought back unpleasant memories for Chu Xiu.

"God of Suffering"

"It's that extraterrestrial demon who gains power through self-harm."

Under Chu Xiu's solemn gaze, the killer's body rapidly expanded, becoming as tall as a three-story building in the blink of an eye. His body transformed into a pitch-black monster with bulging muscles! Only his eyes remained crazed!
He suddenly pushed off with both feet. Although the killer's body had become enormous, it was still incredibly agile. He disappeared without leaving only a blur in place!

At the same time, the ghostly hand high in the sky once again spewed out a large amount of black mist, this time more than ten times the amount before! It almost instantly engulfed the entire cave!
Chu Xiu's vision went dark, and in the next instant, two cold lights rose from the darkness!

However, Chu Xiu was prepared this time. With a wave of his sword, Chiwen forced the two back with its domineering sword energy. But at this moment, a spatial rift opened up around him without warning, like the sharpest longsword in the world, slashing horizontally towards him!

Faced with the spatial cutting at the level of a Heroic Spirit, Chu Xiu dared not use Chiwen to block it head-on. He could only twist his body to dodge it. At the same time, a large amount of demonic energy transformed into more than a dozen spears and shot out towards the location of the murderer!

However, the latter merely sneered and forcefully used his mutated hands to deflect Chu Xiu's demonic weapon! At the same time, the Tang sword and Guan dao emerged from the black mist!
"clang!"

Although Chu Xiu raised his sword to block, the swordsman took the opportunity to draw a dagger and slashed another wound on his arm.

At this moment, Chu Xiu finally understood what a terrifying opponent he was facing.

With the help of the black mist, this warrior and swordsman are essentially two top-tier heroic spirits who can infinitely repair their bodies and weapons and hone their combat skills to the extreme. The killer himself is an incredibly powerful heavily armed assassin with a deadly attack!
Furthermore, this black mist can even obscure the senses and cover the attacks of the three forces!

With all three factors combined, even a demigod could suffer a great loss if he is not careful!
"No wonder even Zhao Jie, who possesses the [Past and Future Vision], was defeated. No wonder he had the confidence to face me head-on!"

"but."

A cold glint flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes: "I also came prepared!"

A massive divine sense burst forth from his spiritual platform, sweeping outwards!

If it were before, Chu Xiu would probably have been forced into a rather embarrassing situation, and might have needed to summon the ghost army and rely on sheer numbers to wear them down.

But after cultivating the "Killing Ghosts and Slaying Souls Yama Scripture", his divine sense had become strong enough to penetrate the barrier of the black mist!

The images of the killer and his two puppets appeared clearly in Chu Xiu's mind. He pretended not to know and lured the swordsman and the general to make a move. Just as he raised his sword to block their attack and the killer was about to launch a sneak attack from behind, Chu Xiu suddenly turned around and took a blow from the two puppets with his back!
In an instant, the Guan Dao cleaved his entire back open, while the Tang Dao pierced his lungs from below!

But Chu Xiu seemed completely unaware. His Great Freedom Demon Body of the Ninth Heaven, combined with the powerful equipment he had fused with, was enough to allow him to withstand these two attacks!
The Guan Dao was blocked by the bone, while the Tang Dao was stuck after only three inches of penetration and could not go any further!
Chu Xiu drew a perfect arc in mid-air with the Chiwen sword in his hand, and with the power he had accumulated to the extreme, he slashed at the murderer without reservation!

"!!!"

The murderer was terrified and roared as he raised his arms, using the divine armor bestowed upon him by the extraterrestrial demon to protect his body!

"clang!!!!!"

At the moment the two collided, a sound wave powerful enough to shatter eardrums resounded throughout the area, and the enormous sound wave could even shatter rocks! The energy fluctuations from the collision created a field composed entirely of light and heat in the vicinity of the two objects!
"boom!!!"

The massive shockwave shattered all the rocks within a kilometer radius, and the black mist was also blown away.

When the blinding flames subsided, the figure of the murderer was revealed as he flew backward.

His body was embedded in layers of rocks, his armor was almost completely shattered, and his body was a bloody mess.

His eyes widened as he stared at Chu Xiu opposite him, his face filled with resentment and disbelief. He roared, "Are you deliberately toying with me? If you have this kind of strength, you could have killed me the moment you saw me!"

Chu Xiu did not respond at all, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He dragged his heavy sword backward and rushed towards the murderer!
"Buzz!"

A spatial passage appeared behind the killer, and his body rapidly shrank into the passage, with only his eyes fixed on Chu Xiu!

"boom!"

Chu Xiu's sword grazed the killer's body, slammed heavily to the ground, and shattered hundreds of meters of rock.

"So you let him escape after all?"

Chu Xiu clicked his tongue in frustration.

He usually doesn't let a single setback affect his mindset.

But this time is a little different.

That killer is such a fucking idiot.

If we let him escape, who knows how much trouble he'll cause in the future.

This was the closest Chu Xiu had ever come to killing him, and the other party would only become more cautious afterward.

Chu Xiu was truly unwilling to let it escape from his grasp!

He closed his eyes and began to feel it carefully.

To prevent the killer from escaping again, he naturally released the ghost immediately this time.

But unlike before, this time no matter how he tried to sense it, he couldn't feel any connection between the Ghost King and the Ghost Mist. It was as if the Ghost Mist had been thrown directly into another space.

"Another space."

Chu Xiu suddenly recalled the scene that flashed past his eyes just as he was about to strike the murderer, the scene behind him.

One iron tower after another rises.

That was a completely different world.

Chu Xiu suddenly realized that the murderer had probably escaped back to its own space.

Back in Pengcheng, the other party probably used this method to escape the pursuit of the demigod from the Investigation Bureau.

Chu Xiu sighed softly, feeling unwilling but helpless.

But just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came from behind him!
Chu Xiu turned around and saw a blood-covered murderer rushing out of the spatial passage, looking at him with a crazed expression like a gambler who had gone berserk!

"Qin Yu, you haven't won yet!!!"

"Let's do it again! This time, I'm launching a war of civilization against you!!!"
