Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 161 - 162: Captured 2/4

The dark light surged with cruelty!

Arella’s protective aura of holy light and her thin sword shattered in an instant! The annihilating beam, formed of black energy, struck Arella’s abdomen without restraint, sending her flying backward!

She even flew out of the barrier and crashed violently into the snowy ground in the distance, her blood quickly staining the pristine white snow...

"Cough, cough..."

mouthful of blood after another spurted from Arella’s mouth,

The unbearable pain followed closely,

However,

At this moment, Arella felt a sense of joy in having survived the ordeal. Under normal circumstances, being hit by an annihilating beam from a demon King existence at such a close range would surely mean certain death for someone like her, who wasn’t skilled in defense! However, she didn’t know if it was because the girl didn’t have time to gather her power or if she wasn’t yet proficient in controlling the power of the shadows,

The power of this annihilating beam was not as great as Arella had imagined.

She merely had a huge bloody hole pierced through her abdomen and hadn’t died on the spot.

This might be considered fortunate in the midst of misfortune...

Although she was severely injured, she had been blasted out of the barrier’s range by her opponent’s strike. It seemed that the figure in the distance had no intention of pursuing her. Now might be the best time to use a teleportation scroll and leave...

With that in mind, enduring the intense pain in her abdomen, Arella slowly retrieved a teleportation scroll from her spatial ring.

The eerie house in the woods,

The demon king Crystal,

And the first appearance of a humanoid demon ...

’These pieces of information must be brought back...’

That’s right,

While she’s here, she should record the coordinates as well...

Pressing her hand tightly against the bloody hole in her abdomen, Arella struggled to sit up from the ground! However, as soon as she sat up, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and an even stronger sense of danger flooded her heart.

At this moment,

A tall, slender girl with blue-golden gradient hair had already appeared in front of Arella, seemingly out of nowhere.

The girl’s left eye was a gorgeous golden rose, while her right eye was a beautiful pale gold.

Although she was incredibly beautiful, there was an indescribable sense of danger hidden within her beauty! More importantly, the girl was surrounded by the dense power of shadows. Although it wasn’t as powerful as the pink-haired girl’s, the pale gold energy made Arella feel even colder and more unsettling...

"Demon, demon King-class?!"

Another demon King?!

And a humanoid one?!

"Damn it!"

She had encountered two rare demon King beings in one day, which nearly broke her spirit.

In the face of danger, Arella instinctively gathered the dense power of holy light in her hands and tried to cast an offensive spell!

However,

In response to Arella’s action, Shuoyue merely gave a faint smile.

In the next instant,

Following Shuoyue’s instructions, another powerful surge of shadow energy suddenly erupted, and countless sticky tendrils burst out from the dense bushes nearby! In an instant, under Arella’s horrified gaze, the tendrils wrapped around her body, and the sacred light energy she had just gathered in her hands was instantly absorbed.

’How... how could this happen...’

As the paralyzing venom was injected, Arella convulsed and then completely lost her ability to resist, suspended in mid-air like a powerless puppet.

Her body was unable to move,

But Arella’s consciousness remained clear,

She could only stare helplessly and unwillingly at the blue-haired girl who slowly drifted towards her. At this moment, Arella’s heart was filled with regret. If only she had known she would encounter two demon King beings on this journey...

Unfortunately, there were no regrets in this world.

Seeing this, Shuoyue smiled knowingly,

She gently lifted Arella’s face with her hand, her eyes filled with amusement.

"Hehe, don’t worry, I won’t kill you for now~. It’s rare to get a female hero behind Mommy’s back, and I need to use your body to help me cultivate something~"

As her words spilled out, Shuoyue’s gaze grew even more wicked,

And the tendrils wrapping around Arella began to writhe shamelessly on the female hero’s body...

However,

Shuoyue didn’t seem satisfied with this and glanced unhappily at the new breed of abyssal demon hiding in the bushes.

"Don’t mess around in front of me, take your plaything back to your lair..."

Seemingly sensing Shuoyue’s displeasure, the tendrils suddenly stopped moving.

"That’s more like it."

Shuoyue said coldly,

Afterward,

The blue-haired girl slowly floated into the air and looked towards the black light that had disappeared on the horizon...

Hmm?

That direction?

"It seems that the child has gone to Wind City Linfeng, huh?"

--

Meanwhile,

In the central area of Linfeng City, within the Marquis’s mansion,

"Blood Scythe Dance."

Wilt smirked coldly and suddenly swung the blood-colored scythe in his hand!

The dark green aura and the dense blood energy filling the surrounding space converged around Wilt in an unending stream! The terrifying power of an high-rank eighth-stage instantly burst forth! The Blood Prison Barrier, designed to prevent the Saintess from escaping, was instantly filled with this tyrannical force!

Sensing the ever-expanding power around Wilt,

Jei and Xiumu’s faces instantly became serious!

Of course, they wouldn’t just let Wilt gather his power like this! After all, if their judgment was correct, once Wilt unleashed this skill, they would undoubtedly be defeated!

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!!!"

With a raging roar, Jei leaped up and transformed into a roaring thunder beast! Without fear, he charged towards Wilt! Xiumu, on the other hand, also let out an angry roar and swung his sword, unleashing his most powerful sword technique as he attacked Wilt from behind!

However,

Facing the combined attack of the two, Wilt’s dark green eyes grew even colder and disdainful...

It went without saying for Xiumu, a mere seventh-tier cultivator, who dared to challenge him without knowing his own limits.

As for Jei,

Although this guardian beast of the Marquis family was also an eighth-tier being like himself, there was still a huge gap between them. Among the eighth-tier cultivator, there were distinctions between low-rank, mid-rank, high-rank, and peak! The thunder beast before him was merely at the initial stage of the eighth tier, and there was still a considerable gap between it and his own high-rank strength!

However,

His primary target for this mission was the Chosen One!

There was no time to waste here with them!

In an instant, Wilt’s eyes suddenly emitted a horrifying dark green light!

The blood-colored crescents around him gathered power at a speed far beyond Jei and Xiumu’s expectations! The next moment, countless blades were unleashed!

"Hu~"

Accompanied by the howling wind, Xiumu’s sword was directly broken by the blood crescents! He himself was hit by three blood-crescent impacts and flew back violently, landing heavily on the ground! Jei, who was facing the majority of the blood crescent impacts, was also not in a good situation!

The energy around him suddenly collapsed, and the protective magic on Jei’s body was also completely shattered under the relentless onslaught of blood crescents!

Dozens of blood crescents struck Jei’s massive body!

After a mournful cry,

The blood-stained thunder beast fell helplessly from the sky, crashing onto the ground and raising a cloud of dust...

After unleashing his skill,

Wilt turned his attention to the silver-haired girl not far away, who had been protected by Xiumu and the others before.

Now that the obstacles were gone,

He could finally have some alone time with the young Chosen One.

After revealing a chilling smile, Wilt slowly descended from the air and walked slowly toward Mengxi,

However,

In the next moment, Wilt’s brow furrowed involuntarily,

Because,

The severely injured Jei had actually managed to get up again, desperately crawling in front of him, as if trying to protect the silver-haired girl behind him.

This scene,

Inevitably made Wilt reveal an angry expression.

Heh,

It was inexplicable; why was this guardian beast of the Marquis family so desperately trying to protect a member of the Asumos Church?

However,

’If you’re seeking death, don’t blame me...’

After revealing a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes, Wilt suddenly raised the blood-colored scythe in his hand!

On the other side,

Watching the murderous leader of the Divine Punishment Sect, the silent Miss Mengxi closed her eyes slowly after a long pause,

A crisp loli voice slowly entered Mengxi’s mind,

’Miss Mengxi, are you sure about this?’

’Well, I wanted to try it anyway, to see how much power that state could have after reaching the sixth-tier mid-rank.’

After a faint smile, Mengxi slowly opened her eyes,

A barely noticeable golden light flickered in her beautiful pale purple eyes...
