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

Chapter 52 Self-destruction
In order to accurately predict the next move of this corpse demon, Chu Xiu kept his Demon Eyes activated, using his super-powerful dynamic vision to capture the contractions of different parts of its muscles in order to deduce its next attack.

Therefore, when it activates its skill, the relevant data immediately appears in front of Chu Xiu.

Overdose of hormones! An advanced skill for unleashing explosive power!
Chu Xiu's heart skipped a beat. Before he could come up with a countermeasure, the enormous creature in front of him suddenly turned around and faced him. At the same time, its right arm swung out rapidly, and with a "clattering" sound of the chain extending, the chain hammer at the front of the chain rapidly extended and smashed towards Chu Xiu!

This time it was many times faster than before. Before Chu Xiu could react, the huge hammerhead was already in front of him!

The hammer was too fast; he had no time to dodge backward. In the nick of time, he made a quick decision, activated the Mysterious Step, and instead of retreating, Chu Xiu advanced, charging towards the Corpse Demon!

This allowed him to dodge the rapidly swinging hammer, but he was still struck hard by the bone chain attached to the back of the hammer!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Chu Xiu was sent flying more than ten meters away. He crashed heavily to the ground and felt a sharp pain in his right arm. Looking down, he found that his bone armor had cracked!

"What a terrifying power!"

Chu Xiu was horrified!

He knew that the battle was about to enter a critical moment. As long as he could hold out until the monster's final outburst, he would be the victor!
Without giving him any chance to catch his breath, the warrior-level corpse demon, having missed its attack, quickly turned around and charged towards Chu Xiu with a roar!
With each step it took, cracks appeared in the concrete floor, and the huge echo made the entire parking lot seem to vibrate!

Seeing the figure rushing towards him at full speed, a fierce glint flashed in Chu Xiu's calm black eyes.

"Hmph, if I have the time to wait for you to finish your advancement, how could I not be prepared?"

The White Bone Banner appeared in his hand. With a forceful wave, five Yin Ghosts solidified their bodies again and pounced on the massive body of the Warrior-rank Corpse Demon, attempting to block its advance!
However, the two were too different in physique. Even if all five Yin Ghosts attacked together, it would be of no use at all. With a wave of its left arm, the Shi-rank Shi Ghost easily threw a Shi Ghost to the ground. At the same time, with a slam of its right arm, it smashed the Shi Ghost's legs into a bloody pulp!

A look of heartache flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, but his ruthlessness deepened immediately. He waved the White Bone Banner again and shouted, "Explode!"

The instant his voice fell, a ghost that had been lying on the back of a Warrior-class ghoul suddenly exploded, like a high-explosive grenade being detonated. The terrifying impact blasted a bloody hole in the back of the Warrior-class ghoul! The cyst used to store energy was also shattered into pieces in the explosion!
This is a hidden use that Chu Xiu realized when he refined his first Yin Ghost: he could force the Yin Ghost to self-destruct, releasing powerful energy in an instant by completely annihilating its soul!

Despite its powerful energy, its actual strength is only roughly equivalent to two or three fully charged Yin Wind Blades. In reality, it's a huge loss. He thought he would never need to use this skill in his life, but he couldn't care less about that now!
After self-destructing the first Yin Ghost, he didn't hesitate and shouted again, "Explode!"

The Yin Ghost with its legs smashed suddenly lunged forward and clung tightly to the right knee of the Warrior-level Corpse Ghost. With Chu Xiu's command, its soul body suddenly exploded, releasing its immense power in a very short time, directly blasting the Corpse Ghost's knee into a bloody mess!
Although the enormous impact did not completely shatter it, it did cause the warrior-class ghoul to stagger and kneel on the ground!
Taking this opportunity, Chu Xiu commanded the third corpse demon to crawl toward its head, intending to self-destruct on the big guy's face and end this beast in one fell swoop!

Unfortunately, his plan failed. Before the ghost could even climb up, it was slammed to the ground by a furious claw from the warrior-level ghoul, its body cleanly and decisively cut into three pieces by the sharp claw.

Seeing that it had lost its ability to fight, Chu Xiu decisively ordered it to self-destruct again. This time, the explosion left almost no good flesh on the warrior-level ghoul's left hand, with a large number of tendons being blown off, revealing the bare white bones underneath.

At the same time, the other two ghouls also unleashed their claw attacks, leaving two more wounds on this mountain of flesh.

"Roar!" The warrior-level ghoul staggered to its feet, but Chu Xiu could tell that it was already at its last gasp.

The red light on his body is fading. With the arrival of the period of weakness, the accumulated injuries, fatigue, and toxins will erupt together, ending his life.

"It destroyed three of my Yin Ghosts. This guy's troublesomeness is somewhat beyond my expectations."

"However, that's all for now!"

"die!"

With a sharp shout from Chu Xiu, the bone spear in his hand shot out and struck the corpse demon squarely in the chest!
Trait: Soul Piercing!
The moment it was stabbed, the enormous creature was struck as if by lightning. The blood-red light on its body began to fade rapidly. Two ghosts pounced on it and frantically tore at its flesh. It was furious and wanted to fight back, but its thick right arm fell limply as soon as it was raised!
In Chu Xiu's Blood Moon Sensation, the monster's life force was rapidly dimming!
Finally, under the relentless attacks of the Yin Ghost, its body swayed and collapsed with a roar of unwilling anger!

"boom!"

Its body, weighing at least five tons, crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

This chapter is a bit short, only a little over 1700 words, but I think it's just right to end it here. As compensation, I will add another chapter today, but for everyone's reading experience, it will be updated together with the two chapters tomorrow, close to midnight.
