Chu Xiuâs cold and stern words left Guan Ke stunned and at a loss.
She had long known that Chu Xiu wasnât an easy person to get along with, but she always thought he was just a bit reclusive, ultimately a normal person.
But at this moment, Chu Xiu was exuding a violent aura, his black eyes devoid of any emotion. She had no doubt that if she took one step forward, he would, without any hesitation, unleash a deadly strike!
"You..."
Guan Ke opened her mouth, then bit her teeth hard and quickly said, "Chu Xiu! You donât know how strong that monster is! Iâve been hiding the truth before..."
"I know."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiuâs lips curled into a mocking smile: "Do you think Iâm as clueless as those people in the stronghold? Unable to even notice the extra battle scars in the apartment building?"
"Isnât it just a Level 5 High Tier profession? Get lost, donât waste my time!"
Chu Xiuâs words left Guan Ke completely stunned in place.
She always thought she had been disguising herself well, but she didnât expect that Chu Xiu had already noticed and could even accurately judge her level!
What kind of terrifying observational ability is this?
And he didnât care at all about her Level 5 High Tier status! Even held her in contempt!
This made Guan Ke unable to understand, what makes him so confident? Him, a Support Profession, what gives him the right?
But... the attack Chu Xiu just charged out with made her realize that whether in speed or power, he was above her!
This gave her a huge sense of defeat.
She couldnât help but entertain thoughts of competing with Chu Xiu, but this impulse was suppressed in just an instant.
Because she felt an extremely dangerous aura on Chu Xiu!
Guan Ke took a deep look at Chu Xiu and finally decided to follow her intuitionâshe stepped down the stairs.
When her figure completely disappeared, Chu Xiu withdrew his gaze.
Shen Zhuo and Yun Lu could not die, but Guan Ke didnât matter, even though her talent was much higher than the other two.
The reason was simple: she was of no use to Chu Xiu.
What does an A-level profession matter, or an S-level talent?
For someone useless, whether A-level or SSS-level, he wouldnât hesitate in the slightest to make a move.
Guan Ke had potential, but could she be greater than Chu Xiu in the long run?
If she were a strong A-level profession in the early stage, or a fool easy to utilize, Chu Xiu might consider offering some benefits to win her over.
But unfortunately, she was as wary of everyone as Chu Xiu, making it too difficult to exploit, and she was a completely late-game profession.
By the time Guan Keâs talent materialized, Chu Xiu would have already left her far behind, possibly exceeding her by two or three tiers.
"Especially in the early stages, every bit of resources is extremely precious, allowing one to build an advantage like a snowball until it becomes an insurmountable chasm!"
In such a situation, Chu Xiu couldnât possibly yield any benefits, just like how the big shots of Qingbei wouldnât give up startup funds to woo lower-tier universities.
He also didnât care about revealing his true nature in front of Guan Ke, what bad impact that might have; a demon cultivatorâs essence couldnât possibly be hidden for a lifetime, otherwise, wouldnât that become truly benevolent? When facing a scramble for interests, one must act decisively.
As for small matters like Guan Ke going to Shen Zhuo and Yun Lu to speak ill of him, he cared even less, as Guan Keâs strength couldnât be concealed due to the Blood Moon Sense, and after tonight, her trust with the people in the stronghold would collapse.
"Now thenâ"
Chu Xiu twirled the Bone Spear, aimed at the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost not far away, and his lips curled into a faint smile: "Thereâs just one last problem remaining."
As if sensing Chu Xiuâs disdain, the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost let out a low roar, suddenly lunged, swinging the Swinging Hammer on its right arm, crashing down towards Chu Xiu from above!
With its power, if this strike landed, Chu Xiu would undoubtedly be turned into a puddle of flesh!
"Boom!"
The Swinging Hammer smashed heavily onto the concrete ground, debris flying, leaving a large pit in its wake. However, Chu Xiuâs figure had somehow appeared five meters away, not only unharmed but not even a speck of dust on him.
Missing a strike, the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost became even angrier, frantically charging at him. Chu Xiu grinned, not retreating but advancing. Just as they were about to clash, his figure suddenly sidestepped eerily, easily avoiding the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghostâs Sharp Claws attack, while his Bone Spear thrust out, striking its neck accurately!
In an instant, a large amount of pitch-black, viscous blood spurted out like oil, even its Tough Skin couldnât withstand this strike!
Trait: Armor Piercing!
"Roar!!!"
The Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost swung its arm in rage, but Chu Xiuâs figure eerily shifted again, easily avoiding the strike, and his Bone Spear added another wound to its tally.
Moreover, with the Bleeding trait, even with this corpse ghostâs incredibly abnormal Life Recovery ability, the wounds created couldnât heal for a while!
Like this, Chu Xiu agilely maneuvered around the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost, occasionally thrusting a strike, like a nimble boxer toying with a clumsy brute, with the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost unable to harm Chu Xiu in the slightest, while acquiring new wounds itself!
If Guan Ke saw this scene, she would certainly be shocked speechless; the frenzied giant beast that had chased her down, in front of Chu Xiu, seemed like a ridiculous clown!
In truth, it wasnât that the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghost was too weak, after all, it was a Level 8 monster, also possessing the Blood Moonâs amplification.
It was simply that Chu Xiuâs abilities restrained it too well.
Constitution Attribute is a comprehensive of various attributes like Power, Agility, Endurance, and so on.
Excluding a 50% Power Amplification, this Heavy Armor Corpse Ghostâs Basic Constitution should be between 16 to 19.
This value isnât much higher than Chu Xiuâs Constitution.
Moreover, it was evidently a Power-Type creature, meaning its Power Attribute would be higher than this value, correspondingly, its attributes in other areas such as flexibility would decline.
Although an increase in Power provides an amplification to Agility, it would at most elevate its Agility to Chu Xiuâs level.
Then the terrifying thing happened.
Chu Xiu had the Mist Step at the level of âMinor Accomplishmentâ, and a Spirit as high as 7.24! While, in contrast, the Spirit of Corpse Ghosts is generally low.
This allowed Chu Xiu to absolutely overwhelm this Corpse Ghost both in terms of body technique and reaction speed!
Not to mention, the two traits of his Bone Spear happened to restrain this Corpse Ghost!
This resulted in the current one-sided slaughter scenario!
Even when the opponent activated the Power Burst skill, it still didnât cause Chu Xiu much trouble.
Finally, after countless holes were opened on its body, the bloodlight in the eyes of the 008 Type Corpse Ghost began to fade, replaced by a look of fear.
It turned to flee, but unfortunately, it was already too late.
Extended bleeding weakened its body extremely.
"Puff!"
With a soft sound, Chu Xiuâs Bone Spear precisely pierced through the gap in its Insect Armor Defense, inserting into the Heavy Armor Corpse Ghostâs heart.
"Boom!"
The heavy corpse slammed to the ground, billowing clouds of dust, as the pleasant sound of a notification rang in Chu Xiuâs ears simultaneously.
