Chapter 359 - Successful Escape

The two abyssal devils didn’t expect Liu Wuxie to attack, and their abyssal energy filled the entire house. Fortunately, Jian Xing’er had retreated to the safe zone because the terrifying abyssal energy would’ve corrupted her entirely.

Facing the simultaneous attack from two abyssal devils, Liu Wuxie collected himself and didn’t dare to be careless. This was because he knew the slightest lapse in attention could lead to their death.

Jian Xing’er looked worried, wanting to rush out several times to fight alongside Liu Wuxie.

Two energy waves exploded in the stone house, but a miraculous scene occurred because the surrounding walls rapidly absorbed the shockwaves. As a result, the abyssal devils outside couldn’t hear what was happening inside.

"Human, what have you done? Why is there no reaction from outside?" The stone house should have collapsed under the powerful shockwave. However, contrary to the expectations of the two abyssal devils, the stone house remained intact.

As a result, the battle in the stone house couldn’t be heard outside.

“There’s no need for a dead person to know so much. Prepare to die!” Liu Wuxie’s murderous intent gushed out as he attacked. He needed to find an opportunity because throwing out the two talismans directly didn’t have a high chance of killing them.

Relying on the Seven Dipper Steps, Liu Wuxie maneuvered left and right inside the house. The two abyssal devils roared in anger because speed was their disadvantage.

abyssal devils possessed abyssal nature, while humans possessed spirituality. Regarding spirituality, the abyssal devils were far inferior compared to humans.

Liu Wuxie didn’t choose to clash head-on and relied on his speed to avoid incoming attacks with great agility. The two abyssal devils gradually lost their patience, and their attacks became chaotic.

Liu Wuxie aimed to exhaust their patience and make them fall into his trap.

The punches thrown by the two abyssal devils unleashed terrifying shockwaves, and Liu Wuxie had to reach the fifth or sixth level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm if he wanted to kill someone in the pinnacle Heavenly Dipper Realm. This meant he needed to be stronger.

"Human, there's no escape for you. The abyssal devils are coming to replace us, and you're done for!" An abyssal devil warned Liu Wuxie, catching him off guard with the information about their replacement. Realizing the urgency, he knew he had to conclude the battle swiftly.

Two talismans appeared in his hand, but he wasn’t in a hurry to throw them out.

Suddenly, the temperature in the stone house began to plummet, and layers of ice covered the surroundings. An even more terrifying scene occurred, with thick ice forming around the feet of the two abyssal devils, restricting their speed.

The ice energy wasn’t enough to kill them, but it wasn’t a problem to limit their speed.

The entire stone house turned into an icy ocean as the icy aura continued to spread, covering the two abyssal devils in ice and further restricting their movement.

“You two can die now!” Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Wuxie leaped into the air, and the two talismans descended like two meteors and shot into their mouths.

These two abyssal devils were powerful, so Liu Wuxie could only send the talismans into their mouths if he wanted to kill them.

The two abyssal devils couldn’t react in time, and the two talismans dissolved into countless spiritual runes, drilling into their bodies. This was a flawless plan because sending the talismans into their mouths would’ve been impossible if their movement wasn’t restricted.

Liu Wuxie vanished and reappeared in the southeast corner, standing beside Jian Xing’er.

A terrifying explosion occurred in the stone house, unleashing a powerful impact that struck the surrounding walls but was repelled by an invisible force.

The two abyssal devils were blown into smithereens in mid-air, and Jian Xing’er covered her eyes as this scene was too gruesome. The aftermath lasted for fifteen minutes before settling down, and the walls were covered with blood and pieces of flesh.

“We need to leave quickly!”

The spiritual array’s energy would deplete soon, and the shockwave would continue to spread.

Liu Wuxie approached the door and activated Ghost Eye to confirm that most abyssal devils were resting and that the battle had gone unnoticed.

“Stay close to me!” Liu Wuxie took the lead and ran towards the outskirts with the Heretic Blade.

Jian Xing’er followed closely behind, and they covered a few thousand meters in a single breath. They would be safe once they escaped the tribe.

Roars were heard because the abyssal devils supposed to replace the two saw the blood and flesh in the room. They immediately let out terrifying roars to alert the other sleeping abyssal devils.

The entire tribe fell into chaos, and a large number of abyssal devils rushed towards them. The three seventh-grade abyssal devils looked at the blood and flesh in the room with grim expressions and released chilling abyssal energy released.

“Kill them!” Turning to look at the exit, a seventh-grade abyssal devil gave the order as tens of thousands of abyssal devils were mobilized to chase after the two.

Weird sounds were heard, and this was a signal from the abyssal devil. This signal was to gather the members outside to intercept Liu Wuxie and Jian Xing’er.

“This is bad. This is the abyssal devil summoning the entire tribe.” Aside from this tribe, there were many tribes in other places. If all the abyssal devils formed an encirclement, it would be impossible for them to escape.

“Senior sister, leave first and wait for me on the surface. I’ll lure them away.” Dozens of abyssal devils appeared before them, planning to block their way.

“If we are to leave, we will leave together!” Jian Xing’er refused to leave by herself and wanted to stay to fight with Liu Wuxie.

“We’ll both die if you stay here. The abyssal energy in your body is overwhelming you. I have ways to leave, and no one can kill me.” Liu Wuxie grabbed Jian Xing’er and threw her out of the encirclement.

Meanwhile, Liu Wuxie charged into the abyssal devils, and a fight broke out.

As for Jian Xing’er, she stood outside the encirclement with tears streaming down her face.

“Go!” Liu Wuxie yelled, urging Jian Xing’er to leave immediately. After all, he had a better chance to escape by himself.

“Junior brother, I’m sorry. I won’t continue to live if anything happens to you.” Jian Xing’er wiped her tears. She knew Liu Wuxie meant well because she was having a hard time suppressing the abyssal energy in her body, not to mention joining the fight.

If she fought, the abyssal energy would flare up as her true essence depleted. Her best option was to return to the surface immediately. She turned around and left, heading straight for the exit.

Liu Wuxie was besieged by dozens of abyssal devils, each with powerful strength. With no one else around, Liu Wuxie could unleash his martial techniques freely, and his true essence began gushing out like a tide.

“Ice energy!” When Liu Wuxie tapped out with his finger, a terrifying chill spread in all directions, freezing the abyssal devils charging at him.

“Cut!” Liu Wuxie swung the Heretic Blade and beheaded over thirty abyssal devils, which he collected into his interspatial pouch. After killing the abyssal devils, he didn’t stop momentarily and fled to give Jian Xing’er more time by drawing attention to himself.

He didn’t head to the exit but circled to distract the abyssal devils. After all, the abyssal devils were inferior to him in speed, and he hadn’t used his full speed earlier because Jian Xing’er was following him.

Without her as a burden, Liu Wuxie’s speed and fighting prowess soared to a terrifying level. But this did nothing to the abyssal devils who were snowballing in numbers.

Tens of thousands of abyssal devils formed into a black wave, scaring all the cultivators training in the Abyssal Underground World into fleeing.

“Senior sister should’ve left the Abyssal Underground World by now!” Liu Wuxie changed his direction. It would be too late if he didn’t leave now because he could sense several seventh-grade abyssal devils approaching swiftly.

The seventh-grade abyssal devils were swift, covering dozens of meters with each stride.

As he approached the exit, the abyssal devils flooding in from the first level weren’t strong because they were mainly in the first to fourth grade. Their purpose was simple—to hinder Liu Wuxie and buy time for the stronger abyssal devils to catch up.

“All of you, die!” Liu Wuxie performed the Primordial Astral Fist. He unleashed a terrifying shockwave that blew the abyssal devils standing in his way to smithereens. They were dead before they could even attack.

The destructive power Liu Wuxie displayed made him seem like a different person compared to before. This was the first time someone forced him to do something he didn’t want to, and his heart was filled with boundless murderous intent.

The murderous intent would affect his heart as a cultivator if he couldn’t vent his anger. Most of his anger had dissipated after killing so many abyssal devils, and it was time to leave.

When he crossed the exit, three roars came from behind from the seventh-grade abyssal devils.

“Ice Shield!” Liu Wuxie thought of a technique used by the Magic Clan. They would shape elemental energy into various forms, and Ice Shield was one of them.

Apart from humans, the Celestial Realm also had the Magic Clan, who were proficient in casting spells.

A thick Ice Shield that looked like a crystal wall descended from the sky, sealing the second level's entrance. This caught the three seventh-grade abyssal devils by surprise, and they crashed onto the crystal wall, feeling dizzy. This brief delay bought Liu Wuxie the time to escape.

“It’s now or never!” Liu Wuxie flawlessly calculated everything. Relying on Ghost Eye, he planned every detail, and the slightest mistake would mean death.

The first level was an endless plain with a high ceiling. The moment he stepped into the first level, he summoned the Heretic Blade, lifting him off the ground and swiftly heading towards the exit.

It took a moment for the three seventh-grade abyssal devils to destroy the Ice Shield, but it was too late because Liu Wuxie had already flown away on the Heretic Blade. As the abyssal devils couldn’t fly, their speed was far inferior to Liu Wuxie's.

“Human!” The three seventh-grade abyssal devils roared angrily as they watched Liu Wuxie disappear. How could they not be angry when they had lost so many abyssal devils and allowed Liu Wuxie to escape?

But what angered them the most was that Liu Wuxie had deceived them. He wasn’t assimilated by the abyssal energy and had been stalling them, waiting for them to rest before planning his escape.

The Heretic Blade burst from the exit like a comet, and Liu Wuxie was greeted by the light of day once more. Outside, it was daytime, and since abyssal devils typically emerged at night, they would be resting during the day.
