Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chu Xiu hung in mid-air, his gaze lowered, silently staring at the four people in front of him.

The leader was a lean middle-aged man, his left arm covered by a layer of strange substance that shimmered with a silver glow. This glow flowed and changed shape continuously, sometimes forming sharp Spines, sometimes transforming into flowing mercury.

Beside him stood a burly man, holding a Door Shield over two meters tall. He was clad in Heavy Armor, wearing a helmet that completely covered his face, and was wrapped tightly from head to toe, resembling a humanoid Heavy Armor fortress.

Behind them was a woman in a white robe, a Westerner with pale golden hair and sky-blue eyes. She held a long staff and, like Jiang Miaoyin, had a full figure, but her face carried a cold and holy aura.

The last person stood at the center of the three; a young man standing on a silver-white floating board, with six uniquely-shaped Floating Cannons emitting a faint blue glow hovering behind him. These Floating Cannons orbited him like satellites, emitting strong energy fluctuations.

"A typical Warrior + Meat Shield + Mage/Support + Long-range combination."

With just a glance, Chu Xiu realized that these four were not a temporary team patched together but a seasoned team with years of battlefield cooperation experience!

"And each of these four is extremely powerful!"

Based solely on aura, each one was no weaker than Qin Xiang, top-tier King Tier, with Professional Talent at least at S.

Especially the young man in the middle; if Chu Xiu’s guess was correct, he should have the same Mechanician (A) profession as Guan Ke!

However, it’s highly likely that he holds a higher profession like Mechanical Lord (S), Mechanical Martial Grandmaster (S), or War Fortress (S), and might even possess an SS profession!

A profession like Mechanician, which shines in the later stages, can easily possess Power beyond the Same Tier at the King Tier, and also has numerous auxiliary and general Skills, capable of undertaking secondary tasks such as reconnaissance, Healing, construction, and transportation.

It can be said that it is a profession with maxed-out strength and functionality.

This was why Guan Ke was so highly valued at the time.

And the fact that these four could acquire four Anchor Points clearly indicates they are scions of prominent families, and their Equipment is surely superior to Qin Xiang’s! Each with at least a King Tier Legend item as a baseline!

When these four work together, they may not be as strong as Heroic Spirits, but they are certainly not far off.

"Jiang Miaoyin, are these the helpers your Jiang Family brought in?"

Just as Chu Xiu was sizing up the four, the lean man at the forefront spoke in a deep voice.

"You jest, Brother Chen," Jiang Miaoyin covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "With Senior Qin’s status and strength, how could a little girl like me enlist him? We’re merely traveling together by chance."

As her voice fell, the four men’s faces darkened.

Naturally, they couldn’t believe Jiang Miaoyin’s nonsense. The only question was, just how powerful was this helper she brought in?

Was Jiang Miaoyin calling him a Senior Heroic Spirit truthfully, or was it a bluff?

"Jiang Miaoyin, in this vast Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace world, to find us so straightforwardly while merely ’traveling together,’ do you take us for fools?"

"Did you curse us, damn it???"

"I warn you, don’t push us too far. While your Jiang Family may be riding high recently, do you think our Celestial Mechanics Guild is such easy prey?"

The lean man had a hostile expression, without a hint of fear.

As heads of the Celestial Mechanics Guild, each of them had the backing of a big family. Though not as prestigious as the four great families, they were not to be easily bullied.

However, facing the other’s aggressive accusations, Jiang Miaoyin merely chuckled lightly, saying, "Brother Chen, you’re overthinking. Sometimes fate is just that mysterious."

"Since fate has brought us together, why not continue to travel together?"

Upon hearing these words, all four of their expressions turned grim. Anyone could see that this charming woman was emboldened, intent on claiming their map.

The lean man exchanged a look with the Western woman behind him. She nodded, and her sky-blue eyes glowed faintly with silvery light as she examined Chu Xiu.

However, as soon as the glow appeared, a cold snort was heard. Chu Xiu’s eyes shone with majestic Gold light, immediately suppressing all the silver light. The woman screamed, retreating several steps, and blood tears flowed from her eyes!

The other three’s expressions changed drastically, pulling out their weapons to protect the woman. The lean man spoke gravely, "Senior, what is the meaning of this?"

Chu Xiu looked indifferent, "You used Skills to probe me, and now you ask what I mean by it?"

"This was a minor punishment. Had I truly been angry, this woman’s eyes would already be blind."

His words weren’t a bluff. With the full force of his Perfection-level Burning Blood Golden Eyes, he could suppress most King Tiers during the Fierce Tier, let alone now that he had ascended to the General Tier.

This was a gap in Person, and having cultivated the Divine-Demonic Foundation, Chu Xiu, though not a God, had almost a God-like Person!

The lean man’s expression flickered, and at this moment the woman behind pulled him back, "Brother Chen, what the Senior Heroic Spirit says is true. It was my rudeness."

The woman emphasized the words "Heroic Spirit," making the other three’s expressions grow even more serious. After a moment of hesitation, they put away their weapons and said, "I apologize on behalf of my teammate, and hope Senior won’t take offense."

Chu Xiu nodded, "I don’t like wasting time with pleasantries, so I’ll be straightforward. I am here for the map. Will you hand it over yourselves, or should I take action to seize it?"
