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

Chapter 27 The Slaughter Begins, Guan Ke's Doubts

"Tsk, these bastards reacted even faster than I expected."

Chu Xiu muttered something, but he wasn't flustered. Instead, he retreated back to the room he had previously reinforced, and tied the rope for retreat around his waist as planned.

The bone spear pointed at the gate, and the footsteps grew closer.

"Three, two, one."

As Chu Xiu finished counting down in his mind, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared and occupied the entire door frame!

Without pausing for a moment, the instant its gaze locked onto Chu Xiu, it charged forward like a starving wolf, its arms flailing and its breath dripping with blood!

However, the moment it stepped into the room, its entire body seemed to be pulled by a dozen invisible hands, and its speed slowed down significantly!

At the same time, the faint bloodline seemed to be drawn from its body and merged into the ground!
[The Bone-Eating Blood Array!]

Chu Xiu's bone spear did not slow down at all. He thrust out with his right hand, and the spear tip shot out like lightning, piercing through the belly of the corpse demon!

The stomach was punctured, and gastric fluid and undigested food instantly spilled onto the floor.

Before Chu Xiu could even feel nauseous, a second ghoul appeared behind the door, while the first ghoul, fueled by its powerful life force, roared and pounced on him!

Chu Xiu snorted coldly, raised his arm to block the zombie's attack, and then kicked it away. The force was so great that it even made the second zombie stagger back a few steps, but it quickly regained its footing. At this moment, the third zombie appeared at the door!

"Tsk."

Chu Xiu didn't expect this beast to arrive so quickly, but there was no fear in his eyes. He took a half step back, and his spiritual power surged into his left palm, instantly forming a dark gray vortex that expanded at an astonishing speed!

Just as the second ghoul pushed aside the already dying first ghoul and was about to pounce on Chu Xiu, the latter shouted and suddenly thrust out with his left hand!

A shrill whistling sound as if the air was being torn apart echoed inside the room, and a gray wind blade appeared out of thin air, slashing rapidly forward along the corridor!

"puff!"

The leading ghoul was cleaved in two, but its momentum carried it into another ghoul charging behind it. The immense impact blew open its chest, sending its massive body flying backward!

Although it wasn't completely severed, its pale spine was already visible, and it was severely injured and had little fighting ability left.

"call."

Chu Xiu let out a soft breath, barely satisfied with the power of the Yin Wind Blade.

He charged up his attack for 1.5 seconds, and its power was around 6.0.

This result is in line with expectations.

Just then, the fourth ghoul appeared, giving Chu Xiu no time to catch his breath.

However, Chu Xiu wore a confident smile.

He discovered that the blood flowing from the three corpses of the ghouls lying on the ground was beginning to seep into the floor, while at the same time, the eerie light emanating from the Bone Blood Devouring Array grew increasingly bewitching.
The power of the Bone Blood Devouring Array increases based on the number of people sacrificed.

So, what exactly constitutes a human sacrifice?

Those who are sacrificed will naturally not be killed willingly, and ultimately the one who set up the formation will have to do it.

So, when Chu Xiu hunted the corpse demons within the formation, wasn't that also a form of human sacrifice?
"That's the allure of demonic arts." A smile crept onto his lips.

As the slowing effect of the Bone Blood Devouring Array gradually intensified, this narrow corridor had completely become a meat grinder for the ghouls!

Wearing the Corpse Demon Necklace, Chu Xiu swept his bone spear across the room.

The slaughter begins!
At the same moment, while Chu Xiu was fighting, Guan Ke was comfortably lying on a soft mattress.

As a girl, she shared a room with Yunlu and Wu Xinyi. The room was spacious enough, and thanks to the thoughtful preparations made by the tailor Xu Hang, it had become exceptionally comfortable.

Snuggling in the blankets and having a deep sleep seems to wash away all the fatigue of the day, unlike the first day when I could only sleep on the cement floor and woke up with a sore back the next day.

Yunlu and Wu Xinyi, who were standing nearby, had already fallen asleep. For the two of them, who were not in good physical condition, the whole day of exploration was too tiring.

However, Guan Ke couldn't sleep. She remembered the things Chu Xiu had asked her before.

"Could it be that he really plans to go hunting at night?"

This thought arose in Guan Ke's mind.

But soon, he shook his head, somewhat amused.

"They probably wouldn't be that reckless; they're most likely just gathering information."

She has made it very clear that at night, the density of monsters will be three times higher, and their strength will also increase significantly!

In this situation, let alone Chu Xiu, even if everyone in the stronghold attacked together, they would be overwhelmed by the horde of corpses and devoured alive!
With that thought in mind, Guan Ke stopped thinking about it and closed his eyes to rest.

However, at that moment, a muffled roar came from below!

She suddenly opened her eyes!

Yunlu and Wu Xinyi were still asleep, but Guan Ke's perception ability, which was far beyond that of ordinary people, allowed him to immediately recognize that it was the roar of a corpse demon!
This is not unusual; the night is the hunting ground for the ghouls, so it's normal for them to make noise.

But the roars continued, followed by very slight vibrations.

Guan Ke's hearing wasn't good enough to hear footsteps several layers away, but this wasn't just one or two footsteps; it was many ghouls moving together. The dense footsteps were mixed together, and although she couldn't hear them clearly, she seemed to have a strange illusion.

This building is like a sleeping creature that has suddenly awakened.

"That guy can't really be that crazy, can he?"

"Tsk."

Guan Ke suddenly lost her sleepiness; the noise was irritating her.

Finally, she simply sat up and closed her eyes.

The moment her eyelids closed, there was a brief darkness, but soon, images appeared before her eyes.

The images were not clear, flickering with blurry spots.

Guan Ke's talent allows her to disperse her consciousness into the mechanical creations she makes.

As she activated her talent, the images seen by the eight dolls she placed throughout the apartment building entered her mind.

Her feeling was right; the ghouls in the apartment building were indeed rioting. Black figures would pass by the dolls from time to time, and judging from their routes, they seemed to be heading to the same place!

All of this proves that someone really did take action! Fighting the horde of ghouls at night!
"Could it be Chu Xiu? Or is there an outsider? Or perhaps it's an internal conflict between monsters?" Guan Ke frowned.

Unfortunately, the surveillance dolls she had placed could no longer provide her with any more information; only occasional screams reached her ears.

After a while, the roaring gradually subsided, and the apartment building returned to calm.

"Tsk, it lasted for a full ten minutes. This can't be that Chu Xiu."

“Li Shan said that his initial energy level was only 0.8. No matter how powerful the bone equipment was, it was impossible for him to last so long under the siege of the corpse demons.”

"But if it's not him, then what's the situation?"

Guan Ke was very curious, but she also knew that curiosity could kill.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go and see what happened during the day."

Suppressing his curiosity, Guan Ke lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes.

At the same moment, Chu Xiu stood in the center of the Blood Devouring Array of White Bones, which was soaked in blood.

All around him were piles of ghoul corpses.
