263: Abyssal Sword Master

“Go kill him and hang his body at the entrance to the Abyss.”

“I want them to see the price of offending us.”

All the demons received their orders and quickly left.

This time, unlike before, tens of thousands of demons were dispatched.

However, the demons dispatched this time were stronger than before.

These demons had already exceeded the scope of Low-level demons.

The Flame Demon King also knew that Low-level demons would not be able to deal with this person.

Xia Qi was still unaware of this and continued searching for Abyss Worms.

He found a pit, where there were traces left by worms.

Like Death Worms, they all move.

This is one of the reasons they are difficult to find; they might be here one moment and gone the next.

Moreover, they do not move on the surface but burrow underground.

Where they appear next is entirely up to them.

However, since signs of worm activity were found here,

it means there is at least one worm within a certain range nearby.

As for what kind of worm it is, that's entirely up to luck.

Xia Qi immediately began a thorough search around the pit, not letting go of a single corner.

As Xia Qi searched, the demons arrived quietly.

This time, they came for an assassination mission.

They did not all attack at once but surrounded Xia Qi in batches.

Therefore, the Divine Eyes did not observe their movements.

However, it still reported the situation.

It did not directly recall the personnel outside but sent them the current situation.

The demons, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a move at this moment.

This immediately caught everyone's attention, and many people quickly got ready for battle.

Every action of the demons was a target for them to disrupt.

As a Military Captain, Xia Qi also immediately received the intelligence.

When he heard the Divine Eyes identify the locations of several groups of demons,

Xia Qi's expression became serious, and his search speed slowed down.

“This seems to be my location.”

“They aren't all coming for me, are they?!”

Listening to the voice from the communicator, Xia Qi's steps gradually slowed.

Recalling his last encounter with the Flame Demon King, the opponent must hate him to the core.

If he couldn't come in person, he would probably tear Xia Qi apart on the spot.

His aimless search had conveniently created an opportunity for the other party.

According to his current position in the Dragon Battlefield, the enemy had already begun to encircle him.

However, according to what the Divine Eyes observed,

the number of these demons was not large.

With Xia Qi's strength, dealing with them would only take a little time.

The Flame Demon King was not foolish; he certainly wouldn't send these demons to their deaths.

He had already suffered a loss at Xia Qi's hands before; if he didn't gain an advantage this time, he wouldn't fare well in the Abyss.

The other party must have other personnel in the dark.

If it wasn't for teleportation using that black mist, or large-scale actions,

the Divine Eyes would not have reacted, and this time, he wasn't the only target.

Perhaps, Xia Qi was just one part of their mission.

According to the Divine Eyes' observation, there were already seven or eight groups of demons near Xia Qi's outpost alone.

This time, similar things were probably happening at other outposts as well.

“For now, it's better to get away as quickly as possible!”

Regardless of what was happening elsewhere, demons were already approaching Xia Qi's location.

Now he had to hurry back to the outpost; here, he was isolated and helpless.

Just as Xia Qi was rushing back to the outpost, dark figures already appeared on the horizon.

It seemed those demons had arrived.

However, at this distance, Xia Qi still had plenty of time to get back.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed towards Xia Qi.

The opponent was very fast, and his aura was well-hidden; even Xia Qi hadn't noticed him just now.

Xia Qi immediately met the attack, and after a collision with the opponent, they quickly separated.

He retreated several steps before he could clearly see the opponent's appearance.

It was a demon wielding two swords; just from the collision, he knew the opponent was not simple.

It was incomparable to an Abyssal Devil, let alone those Low-level demons.

Xia Qi looked at the opponent in front of him and immediately checked his attributes.

【Abyss Swordmaster】

【Rank: Second Turn, Level 45.】

【Strength: 6000.】

【Agility: 5000.】

【Intelligence: 2500.】

【Physique: 5000.】

【Skills: Demonic Splitting Slash, Demonic Stealth, Demonic Dual Blades, Demonic Heavy Strike.】

Looking at the opponent's attributes, they were incredibly exaggerated.

This was only a Level 45 demon, yet it already had such high attributes.

It seemed that the Abyss Swordmaster's Rank among demons was not low.

At least it was much higher than an Abyssal Devil; even a Level 45 Abyssal Devil would not have such attributes.

This was somewhat similar to the talent of a professional; the difference in attributes at the same Rank could also be very large.

As soon as both stabilized their figures, the Abyss Swordmaster immediately launched another attack on Xia Qi.

Demonic Dual Blades!

Two Sword Qi directly slashed towards Xia Qi, while the Abyss Swordmaster rapidly closed in.

Xia Qi immediately unleashed a bloody Sword Qi to deflect the Abyss Swordmaster's attack, then immediately activated his Fire Sea skill.

Instantly, fierce flames rose all around.

The Abyss Swordmaster was also enveloped in flames and immediately tried to escape.

Xia Qi knew that with the opponent's attributes, he absolutely could not fight head-on.

After all, Xia Qi was just a mage.

He hadn't even reached Second Turn yet, so a head-on fight would not be advantageous.

This demon was comparable to the Void Immortal Worm Xia Qi had encountered before.

In fact, it was even stronger.

Such strong attributes probably wouldn't appear often in the entire Dragon Battlefield.

Unexpectedly, to deal with Xia Qi, such power was dispatched.

Moreover, this was not all; other demons were still on their way.

It seemed that this Abyss Swordmaster was already nearby.

After Xia Qi forced the Abyss Swordmaster back, he immediately rushed towards the outpost.

It was more important to return to the outpost now; continuing to delay would be very disadvantageous for Xia Qi.

If he stayed here, Xia Qi would quickly be surrounded.

But the Abyss Swordmaster would not let him go; he immediately launched an attack on Xia Qi.

In just a blink of an eye, the Abyss Swordmaster appeared beside Xia Qi.

His speed was very fast; Xia Qi could not shake him off without using skills.

Xia Qi's feet generated a swift wind, trying to shake off the Abyss Swordmaster.

Just then, he noticed the Abyss Swordmaster's figure was gone.

He didn't care too much and immediately rushed towards the outpost.

Just as he was about to bypass an area where demons were located, the Abyss Swordmaster ambushed him from the side.

It was as if he already knew Xia Qi would pass through here and had laid in wait.

Absolute Zero!
