"Damn monster!"
Asura finally couldnât help but curse.
And just as he finished speaking, the Colonel charged over again. Just as Asura retreated once more, a massive amount of black fog suddenly entangled his body!
It was the Leading Ghost General arriving with a large contingent of ghosts!
Asuraâs complexion became increasingly grim. He realized Chu Xiu had once again made a precise and correct choice.
Due to Chi Leiâs indestructible nature, the best way was to trap him with the Blood Sea Domain, which inevitably meant first killing himself!
In fact, thatâs exactly what Chu Xiu intended to do.
[Command: Repair]!
Chu Xiuâs mana poured out, significantly increasing the energy recovery rate of all ghosts. The vast, ocean-like magic power continuously surged into the Leading Ghost General, greatly amplifying the power of his various spells!
But that was far from all!
Chu Xiu suddenly bit his tongue, forcing out several drops of essence blood once more!
[Divine Power: Blood Feeding]!
At the same time, [Osweilâs Roar] echoed in the field!
Chu Xiu had already consumed half of his essence blood, further depleting his vitality to slay Asura on this spot!
"Roar!!!"
The Leading Ghost General, bolstered by numerous enhancements, let out an earth-shattering roar. The black fog binding Asura solidified into chains as black as ink, completely locking him in place!
At this moment, the Colonel charged forward with an overloaded punch, like a rocket burning all its fuel, slamming towards him directly!
"Boom!"
White light, like that of a nuclear explosion, filled the entire world in an instant. The overload to the extreme furnace erupted with world-destroying power at this moment!
"Itâs over."
The high-pressure blast from the explosion swept over Chu Xiuâs form standing on the Earth Dragon, making his clothes flutter wildly, but a smile appeared on his face instead.
However, as the light and heat filling the world vanished, that newly risen smile disappeared immediately.
"This is..."
Before the Colonel, Asuraâs towering form quietly stood in place.
A large hole had been blasted in his chest, but now, countless strands of blood and flesh entwined together, continuously stitching and repairing the astonishing wound!
Even more terrifyingly, his appearance underwent earth-shaking changes! His body grew a circle larger, with a pair of additional arms sprouting from his back and underarms, and two new eyes spinning continuously below his jaw!
"A four-eyed six-armed!"
Chu Xiuâs expression turned grave, recalling the legendary Asura King, who was depicted with multiple eyes and arms, even described in records as a monster with nine heads, a thousand hands, and eight legs!
"I didnât expect you could force out my final form." Asuraâs gaze was cold, his four eyes staring at Chu Xiu, with an uncontrollable killing intent in his crimson pupils.
Suddenly, his figure vanished bizarrely from where he stood, and the next instant appeared unannounced beside the Colonel! The latter only had time to lift his arms before being struck by Asuraâs punch!
This punch was not simple brute force, but skillfully harnessed high tier destructive power, sweeping over the Colonelâs body like a microwave pulse, directly shattering the blood flesh of the Blood Demon Incarnation clinging to him!
Rasputin let out a miserable cry, falling off the Colonel. The Colonelâs chest erupted with molten red-yellow light, launching a punch towards Asura, but the latter effortlessly blocked it with two arms extended from behind.
Instead, the Colonel, having lost the support of the Blood Demon Incarnation, had his overloaded furnace directly melt his body, igniting him all over after firing a punch, causing him to plummet straight down from the air.
This instant reversal of the situation made Chi Lei instantly show an ecstatic expression, while Chu Xiuâs face became extremely grim!
In this final form, Asuraâs strength had leaped to undergo an earth-shaking transformation! Even if Chu Xiu were in perfect condition at this moment, he might not necessarily be a match!
And now...
With all cards on the table, Chu Xiuâs ghostly legion couldnât stop him. Judging by the difference in distance and strength, Asura could take his life within three seconds!
The long-unfelt danger of impending death surged in his heart, accelerating Chu Xiuâs heartbeat, causing all his muscles to tense up!
Yet suddenly, he relaxed, an odd expression appearing on his face as he softly muttered, "Huh."
He saw Asura, having knocked down the Colonel, not attacking him, but diving down, scooping up Garudaâs body, and flying deeper into Fallen Paradise.
This scene caused Chi Leiâs once excited expression to freeze immediately, while Chu Xiu let out a long breath of relief.
"I was wondering, with such strong divine techniques, why not use them earlier?"
That power could likely crush Chu Xiu while facing the Heaven-Reaching Blood Vine.
"Iâm afraid there are also some huge hidden restrictions on it."
However, regardless, Asuraâs actions still made Chu Xiuâs inner alarm ring, raising his estimation of him.
The gods here were ordinary people who occasionally obtained power, so Chu Xiu had always evaluated their disposition and intelligence as ordinary.
And indeed, this was true. The trio of Yaksha neednât be mentioned, even the seemingly strong Garuda stepped into Chu Xiuâs trap unknowingly and was killed by him in one stroke, Qian Dapo even more a mere prop, utterly ignorant of how to maximize his ability.
But this Asura had not only exceptionally strong combat skills but was also extremely thoughtful.
"The fact that he took Garudaâs corpse away when leaving indicates he noticed me controlling the three Yakshas to fight, realizing that I have the ability to resurrect corpses."
"If Garudaâs speed became mine, then Iâd be truly invincible. Even if I couldnât defeat Asura, I could still strategically retreat at any time."
"Being able to still keep an eye on the other side of the battlefield and complete such analysis amidst high-intensity combat..."
"This guy is no ordinary person."
Chu Xiu felt a bit regretful.
If Asura, with such immense power, could be killed, surely extremely powerful equipment could be obtained.
But as it seems now, with his strength and intelligence both formidable, itâs unrealistic to kill him after losing this opportunity.
Nonetheless, Chu Xiu didnât dwell on it for long.
Powerful beings are everywhere; when returning to the Corpse Demon World, tens of Blood Demon [Heroic Spirits] and even [Demigods] still await him to slay.
Whatâs important now is completing the task and obtaining the mysterious reward.
Asuraâs monstrous equipment, if it canât be obtained, so be it.
With this in mind, he stopped pondering it and shifted his thoughts.
Soon, the turning ghostly legion entangled Chi Lei, and within seconds, the restored Blood Demon Incarnation arrived, once again employing the incarnation to seal him.
Chi Lei responded decisively, activating suicide without a secondâs hesitation.
"Youâd better clear the trial within twelve hours; otherwise, the next time, the eightfold enhanced me wonât be trapped by this skill again, and by then, no one can save you."
Chi Lei gazed at Chu Xiu with a sinister look.
Chu Xiu, of course, was indifferent to his threats, though he inwardly felt a bit of admiration. To become a Civilization Envoy, it wasnât just about high talent; character and intelligence were indispensable too.
This Chi Lei, firmly grasping the situation with decisiveness, recognized in a split second that despite Asuraâs escape, being so heavily wounded meant he likely couldnât recover in a short time, no longer able to pose trouble for Chu Xiu or have the strength to save himself.
Promptly committing suicide and awaiting resurrection was the most correct choice.
"Though I didnât expect Asura to have an additional card, the primary objective was basically accomplished."
Chu Xiu didnât ponder further, casting the ghosts and refined corpses back into the Thousand Souls Banner and Spirit and Flesh Storage Pouch for rest, while he wasted no time in recovering himself and heading towards the main city.
Chi Lei was right; when he resurrects next, Chu Xiu would truly find it troublesome, needing to complete the trial promptly.
Ten minutes later, Chu Xiu caught up with the evacuating populace.
By this time, Liang Zhan had already evacuated almost all the residents from the first two Guard Cities, and the missed ones were caught up by Chu Xiuâs Divine Sense scanning from behind.
However, the evacuation of the third Guard City had only just begun, with even some stubborn old ones refusing to leave.
Chu Xiu obviously wouldnât indulge them, waving his hand grandly, causing tens of thousands of ghosts to surge forth, materializing in the city!
In an instant, strong winds howled within the city, and ghostly wails lingered endlessly in the ears!
Three-meter-tall Fierce Ghosts dragged their bone spike-covered bodies to the old man unwilling to evacuate, their mouths cracking into a kind smile, speaking human words from within their chest and abdomen.
"Elder, why are you unwilling to evacuate? Is there anything you need help with?"
