Chapter 711 - 328: Outer Realm Demon
Chu Xiu felt that the full-force slash he executed was like being firmly held by an invisible force. The Giant Sword Chiwen, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, was abruptly stopped in mid-air, unable to descend at all!
And blocking this giant sword was merely an ordinary human hand!
"Hiss!!!"
The frenzy sword qi that could send a demigod flying was crazily pouring onto that hand at this moment, yet from the outside, it just sounded like a boiling kettle with hissing noises. Except for wisps of white steam rising near that hand, there was nothing unusual!
One must know, even without the blessing of Divine-Demonic Power and Artifact Origin, the force of a slash from Chiwen could easily destroy a street, not to mention that directly touching Chiwen itself would trigger sword qi even stronger than those shot from a distance!
But now, this massive force vanished in an extremely bizarre way, as if Chu Xiu’s sword had struck an invisible whirlpool at the ocean’s bottom, suddenly depleting all energy!
This made him reveal an unprecedented look of astonishment!
The strangest part was that the human hand stopping him was clearly visible to Chu Xiu, yet there wasn’t the slightest sense of its existence in his Divine Sense!
In his shocked gaze, the fissure in front of the core grew larger, and then a figure with elegant yet sinister features stepped out from the fissure.
At first glance, this person was indistinguishable from an ordinary human, but a closer look revealed an indescribable peculiarity.
His figure was tall, perhaps overly so, with a head-to-body ratio exceeding ten; his skin seemed covered with some transparent, snake-like "scales", his face was narrow, the eye corners lifted, and his pupils were strangely vertical, harboring a hint of bloodlust and cruelty not belonging to any human.
Upon seeing the figure, Chu Xiu’s Spiritual Sense was triggered as if a thousand alarm bells went off, screaming wildly! His hair stood on end, feeling an unprecedented extreme danger since the Abyss!
Almost instantly, Chu Xiu confirmed in his mind that this humanoid creature was definitely not any demigod. The terrifying yet somewhat familiar aura unmistakably belonged to the Outer Realm Demon! And it wasn’t any massive clone, but the main body!
In an instant, Chu Xiu’s heart turned icy cold, realizing his previous ominous premonition had indeed come true!
He had long known that such ancient creatures as the Outer Realm Demon wouldn’t just let a piece of fat within reach escape due to a little risk!
What humans could rely on was just their bluff working on the opponent!
But now, with the Outer Realm Demon descending in person, the human side had no hope left!
And just as this thought of despair arose in Chu Xiu’s mind, the hand gripping Chiwen suddenly tightened! Chu Xiu felt his weapon emit a wailing sound akin to a spider web’s fine cracks spreading along the sword’s body!
Chu Xiu was horrified, yet responded quickly by flipping his wrist, retracting Chiwen into the Storage Space, and then shooting backward at the fastest speed possible!
Meanwhile, surrounding ghost creatures all abandoned their original targets, rushing towards that sinister man!
However, what filled Chu Xiu with even greater fear happened next. The man didn’t make a single move, and the high-tier Ghost General, with a Soul Body that could briefly resist a Heroic Spirit under battle array support, suddenly disintegrated without warning, and the fragmented pieces continued to further fissure!
In the blink of an eye, the countless ghost creatures surrounding the man were all disintegrated into invisible tiny pieces! As if forming a death domain around him!
Chu Xiu was shocked, pushing his inner power to the utmost, desperately retreating, and simultaneously urging every possible demon to return recklessly, even if it could stall that bizarre form for a mere fraction of a second!
The life-saving Spirit Talisman granted by Divine Power Daoist was also tossed out without the slightest hesitation!
"Boom!!!"
Massive Thunderbolt rampaged through the sky, directly hitting the figure with enormous energy, forming a voltage of a million volts around it!
Yet, instead of dodging, it spread its arms with an expression of enjoyment, bathing in the lightning, the thunderbolts roaring around it but unable to cause any harm!
It was as if toying with a prey, deliberately staying in place, leisurely waiting for Chu Xiu to flee, its snake-like vertical pupils watching Chu Xiu with a playful gaze.
Suddenly, it moved, and Chu Xiu couldn’t catch its action, only seeing a residual shadow left behind! In the next instant, the figure crossed a distance of over a thousand meters, appearing in front of Chu Xiu!
Every ghost creature on the way, blocking the path, was like insects in front of a speeding train, ruthlessly crushed!
This astonishing scene made Chu Xiu’s heart grow cold. Yet, even when facing such a terrifying enemy, his mind remained exceptionally clear. His escape route was directly towards the Sinful Fire Purgatory of the Purgatory Demon Corpse!
At this moment, both he and the Outer Realm Demon had rushed into the domain, and the Outer Realm Demon was also ignited by the dark red flame.
Only these flames licking at its skin were unable to inflict even the slightest damage, naturally Chu Xiu didn’t expect such an attack to harm the opponent.
With a thought, the Purgatory Demon Corpse tangled with the War General suddenly abandoned its opponent and, at the cost of enduring a hit from the War General, turned around to hurl the Hook Lock at the Outer Realm Demon!
