Chapter 324: Chapter 70: Superman Xu Shu’s Attempts and Discoveries (6k for Monthly Pass)_3

Its roar lasted only three seconds before abruptly ceasing, as Xu Shu went up to it and delivered a self-taught "Sun Character Punch."

The actual "Sun Character Punch (Excellent)" had been used to strike down the Divine Chosen, but Xu Shu was able to simply mimic the attack, greatly reduced in power of course, but still more effective than swinging his fists wildly.

In just three seconds, he threw sixteen punches, both blocking and striking, and directly brought the small demon to its knees, then obliterated it into froth.

As the Level 11 white Erosion Crystals tingled into the water, Xu Shu was already sneering as he turned towards the other two remaining enemies.

In the next second, the last two demons, having just split their merged bodies, turned and ran—Nagoul demons might be sadistically violent, but they were no fools.

When clearly overpowered by the opponent, the question was not whether to run, but when?

Even monsters had their own survival rules. When facing a stronger enemy, of course they would flee.

And to top it off, they fled in different directions.

It seemed they knew all too well the necessity of running faster than their companions when encountering a tiger in the wild, not necessarily outpacing the tiger itself.

However, they forgot one thing—the "gambling agreement."

All demons of the Abyss Path, whether Nagou, Slaanesh, or Horror, had it as an innate skill; once they met an enemy’s gaze, the passive "When you gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss gazes back at you" was automatically triggered.

And so, this space was already sealed.

If Xu Shu wanted to flee, he had to kill them before he could escape, until the effect wore off.

But likewise, for them as well.

At this moment, the talent they once prided themselves on had become a Death Spell.

Xu Shu caught up, seizing one and unleashing a series of powerful punches.

The demon’s body was strong, but compared to a vampire’s Undying Body, it was clearly not on the same level; being shattered into pieces would mean a complete demise.

One of them, when smashed, disintegrated like a cream-filled pastry—fortunately, in such a life-or-death battle, Xu Shu never worried about being squeamish, certainly not for fear of disgust, a sure path to death.

Before long, Xu Shu had thoroughly pummeled both Nagoul demons to death.

The battle had happened in an instant.

And it ended just as quickly.

One versus four, instantly overpowered!

Xu Shu now had the strength to truly take on four enemies at once and could still win, though not without injury as a toll.

Remember, in his previous journey, encountering these four demons all at once was no trivial matter.

Ultimately, he had employed the "Life-taking Mantra" of Narrow Sleeve Guanyin and was injured in multiple places before he managed to kill all of them.

But now, Xu Shu paid a price so minor that it was just his clothes smeared with the yellow waste of the Nagoul demons, without even a scratch left behind.

Because this couldn’t even be called a battle; it was an utter ambush.

What helped was the intelligence gathered from the last mission.

Xu Shu called it the "Prophet" style of combat, intuitive and always a step ahead.

This was the confidence the Tai Chu Scroll journey mode bestowed upon Xu Shu!

"In this life, what I hate the most is demons."

"But the taste of Erosion Crystals is not bad."

Xu Shu scooped up the four Erosion Crystals from the water, quickly rinsing off the stench.

Then, he stripped off his foul-smelling clothes, gave his body a quick wash, and left the area directly.

The intense scent of blood after battle could also likely attract other nearby creatures—this was not a place to linger.

This time, having finished earlier than during the journey, Xu Shu deliberately slowed his pace to ensure his return path was completely identical to that in the journey—not just the route, but even the timing.

What time to reach what location, he had left markers on his way.

Everything was done to perfection.

Thus, Xu Shu even took the time to bury the body of a female Transcendent who had been horribly defiled and devoured by the demons.

He dug a grave in the forest behind the lake, buried the bisected body securely, and erected a wooden grave marker, hastily inscribing "Here lies a nameless individual, who has fallen here for the great revival of mankind."

Although she might not have been very strong, or perhaps didn’t even get the chance to truly achieve anything before dying here.

But Xu Shu was certain that in this era, every human who dared to step out from within the safe bounds of the Star Tower into this monster-infested wilderness deserved respect.

Regardless of whether they embarked on the journey to earn extra money or to restore humanity’s glory by fighting to the death against monsters.

At least they had stepped forward.

Without these people, one after another heading to the battlefield to hunt monsters, humanity would remain nothing more than livestock bred by those fiendish beings.

But as long as people kept stepping forward, fighting, sacrificing, it meant the war was not over.

For this reason alone, they were worthy of remembrance by all humanity.

—"Of course, that includes myself too!" Xu Shu patted the dirt, firming it over the unmet passerby.

Half an hour later, Xu Shu returned within the border line, under the warm rays of the sun, uncovered and not feeling cold, continuing northward.

Around noon, at the Lighthouse Inn at coordinates (19,18), a man wearing only underwear with a bulging bundle on his back slipped in, climbed the wall to the second floor, "borrowed" a sun-dried, fitting set of clothes, and left a hundred-dollar bill on the windowsill as compensation.
