Chapter 179: Subduing the Lord of Ghostly Poison: Gannasi

This giant black python is massive, dozens of meters long, and its body, as thick as a water barrel, radiates a chilling Calamity Aura.

It possesses a huge head similar to a cobra, its eyes flashing with an eerie, ghostly green light; its snake mouth is wide open, revealing sharp, barb-covered fangs, each dripping with pale purple venom.

As soon as the venom touches the air, it begins to hiss and emit billowing white mist, as if it could corrode everything.

【Lord of Ghostly Poison: Gannasi】

【Level: 50 (Birth Stage)】

【Grade: King-level】

【Blood Value: 6 million】

【Attack Power: 800,000】

【Skills: Perfect Mimicry, Phantom Maze Curse, Ghost Shadow Surprise Attack, Poison Mist Barrier】

【Description: One of the Abyss Ten Great Evil Demons, the predecessor to the Calamity Source Seed, a powerful guardian in charge of the Abyss Gate, and simultaneously a manifestation of a single hair from behind an Evil God.】

……

I never expected that the matured Calamity Source Seed would actually be one of the Ten Great Evil Demons, with its true form being a giant black cobra.

Its appearance instantly filled the entire atmosphere with tension.

"Tiny mortal, you dare to oppose me? Today shall be the day of your death!"

Lord of Ghostly Poison Gannasi let out a low, murderous voice, filled with endless contempt.

Even the very tip of its snake tail kept making a rustling sound, while the venom in its mouth seemed to become even more intense.

However, when Gannasi saw that Zhou Chu's eyes were not filled with fear, but were instead shining brightly, an ominous premonition suddenly rose within it.

But very quickly, Gannasi dismissed this concern, believing it was having a hallucination.

The mortal before it had shining eyes only because he was so terrified that he wore such an expression.

At the same time, it could also sense that this mortal possessed exceptionally powerful Soul Power within his body.

If it were to consume all the Soul Power on this person, its own strength would surely reach a new height.

Thinking of this, a trace of greed flashed in Gannasi's eyes.

Gannasi roared, its massive body lunging toward Zhou Chu like black lightning.

It unleashed "Ghost Shadow Surprise Attack," its speed reaching the extreme, arriving before Zhou Chu in the blink of an eye.

Its snake mouth opened wide, biting toward Zhou Chu's chest, determined to crush his heart in one bite and then drain all the Soul Power from his body.

Who would have thought that Zhou Chu was currently protected by a full one hundred layers of Soul Shield; Gannasi's venom-soaked fangs bit fiercely into the shield, yet failed to cause him even the slightest bit of damage.

Zhou Chu's lips curled into an eerie arc, and a strange light suddenly flashed within his eyes.

It met Gannasi's gaze, which was full of surprise; under the super-strong hypnotic effect of the Nightmare Pupil, even though Gannasi was also an expert at using mental illusions, it could not withstand such a look.

After all, the Nightmare Pupil can immunize against all mental-type resistance.

Thus, Gannasi was immediately hypnotized and fell into the fantasy dream created after the hypnosis.

In the dream, Gannasi saw itself having already consumed all the Soul Power in the world, breaking through its current realm, and becoming an existence in the Abyss higher than the Evil Gods.

Then, it also absorbed the Evil God's Soul Power, and in the end, the entire Abyss and even the whole world bowed down to it.

Yet in reality, Gannasi was frozen in place, motionless like a giant snake-shaped statue, its eyes hollow, completely controlled by the hypnotic effect of the Nightmare Pupil.

This was the perfect moment to subdue this Abyss Evil Demon!

Zhou Chu continuously swung the Blood Mist in his hand, striking Gannasi's body repeatedly, beating its body—wrapped in hard snake scales—until it was lacerated and bleeding.

As for Gannasi, it was like a beast that had been tamed and was accepting punishment, willingly enduring Zhou Chu's whipping, with even a look of intoxication appearing in its eyes.

Finally, Gannasi's health bar was quickly drained, and its massive body crashed to the ground with a boom.

After successfully killing this Evil Demon, Zhou Chu and Lucita split the experience brought by Gannasi equally.

Zhou Chu leveled up directly from level 25 to 26, while Lucita leveled up directly to 16.

Without further ado, Zhou Chu hurriedly stored Gannasi's corpse into the Emperor Tomb.

In less than three short days, successfully subduing two King-level Evil Demons was indeed a tremendous surprise for Zhou Chu.

With this, three of the ten Evil Gods in the Abyss had been subdued by Zhou Chu.

If the other seven Evil Gods dared to come out and cause trouble, their fate would be the same as this: all becoming servants under Zhou Chu.

"You... you are..."

At this moment, a weak voice sounded, and Zhou Chu realized that Luo Dachun, who was slumped against the wall and almost drained into a husk, still had a breath left.

His bulging eyes looked at Zhou Chu with a look of shock, seemingly unable to believe that the person before him who had subdued a powerful Evil Demon in such a short time was actually the Zhou Chu he had always belittled.

Zhou Chu looked down at him from above and finally said indifferently: "Principal Luo, it is not that I am unwilling to save you, but because even if the Great Luo Immortals came, they could not save you."

"Now that Qin Ye is dead, and your mistress is dead, there should be no one left in this world for you to be attached to."

"Rest assured, after you die, the City Lord of Tianhua City, Xing Mochuan, will personally collect your body, and in the future, there will be a share of merit for you on the Demon Extermination Ranking."

As Zhou Chu finished this sentence, Luo Dachun took his last breath; his eyes remained wide open, as if there were unfinished business in his heart that made him unwilling to close them.

Zhou Chu looked at Luo Dachun's corpse, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Although Luo Dachun had been very unfair to him in the past, dying after having his Soul Power drained by an Evil Demon during this Calamity Invasion could be considered, to a certain extent, a contribution to the human cause of fighting against the Calamity.

At the very least, his reputation would not be infamous for ten thousand years in the future; there should still be quite a few people who will remember him.

Just then, chaotic footsteps came from the far end of the corridor, and at the same time, the roar of helicopter rotors sounded outside the window.

Clearly, the City Defense Army had discovered the specific location of the Calamity source, and soon City Lord Xing Mochuan would appear.

It was time to leave.

To be precise, this Calamity Invasion event in Tianhua City was the first mission after the establishment of the Demon Sniper Squad.

Since it was classified, Zhou Chu's identity could not be exposed to others, not even to his closest aunt.

Thus, Zhou Chu once again transformed into a bat and, under the cover of the night, quietly left the principal's office of Tianhua No. 2 High School.

At this time, as Gannasi was successfully subdued, the Calamity Mist shrouding the sky over Tianhua City began to dissipate rapidly.

Xing Mochuan, guarding the sky above the Secret Realm Plaza, looked at the rapidly dissipating fog all around with an expression of astonishment, his heart filled with even more confusion.

This Calamity Invasion, which had seemed so grand in scale, had ended so quickly.

Moreover, it ended so silently that he hadn't even had time to take much substantial action.

At this moment, a subordinate's report finally sounded from his communicator: "City Lord, we have already found the exact location of the Calamity's source; it comes from the principal's office of Tianhua No. 2 High School."

"At the same time, we also discovered the corpses of the principal, Luo Dachun, and a woman!"
