Chapter 999 - 438:

Of course, if you lose, you’ll lose everything.

Chu Xiu forcefully suppressed the urge to release five ghosts capable of unleashing power surpassing strong demigods for battle, even keeping the King Tier ghost most likely to advance to Ghost King.

Firstly, because they have outstanding potential, Chu Xiu couldn’t bear to let them die here. Secondly, only by forming a battle array with those ghosts could five High Tier ghosts temporarily possess the power akin to a Perfect Demigod.

In the end, Ashtar’s ultimate target is himself, and his life is most important.

"Five Perfect Demigods, plus Zhang Zhengdao’s Mixed Yuan Taiji Diagram for protection, I don’t believe anyone can take me down instantly!" Chu Xiu had this bit of confidence.

"But the premise is..."

Chu Xiu’s gaze shifted to Zhang Zhengdao not far away.

If he were a traitor, then these three array maps would be cages built right under his nose.

As if sensing Chu Xiu’s gaze, Zhang Zhengdao turned his head, and at the instant their eyes met, he suddenly revealed a strange smile.

Chu Xiu was stunned, but before he could react, he heard a voice unexpectedly whispering in his ear, "I hear the heartbeat of suspicion."

As soon as this voice fell, a dangerous sensation surged from within Chu Xiu, simultaneously, he saw lightning rise from Zhang Zhengdao’s palm!

Chu Xiu’s hair stood on end, without hesitation, he pushed the power of his Fighting Spirit to the limit, a torrent of Spiritual Power surged out, transforming into shields of Spiritual Light in front of him, while he himself turned into a stream of light and dodged sideways!

The next moment, the lightning suddenly expanded like a straight beam, directly piercing through the Spiritual Light shield Chu Xiu had formed, grazing past his body!

Chu Xiu was terrified, the five High Tier ghosts simultaneously appeared beside him!

And at this moment, the voice spoke again, "I saw the cage of confinement."

"Who?!"

Chu Xiu shouted, but he saw no one around, except Zhang Zhengdao and two others looking towards him from afar.

Besides Zhang Zhengdao, Chen Huang and Divine Power Daoist beside him also displayed that identical eerie smile!

Chu Xiu felt a shiver run up his spine, and before he could understand what was happening, a giant Tai Chi Diagram suddenly appeared above him, streams of golden light flickering, seemingly forming a huge golden bell about to fall upon him!

Zhang Family’s Mixed Yuan Taiji Diagram!

Zhang Zhengdao was truly a high-ranking insider lurking within Huaxia!

And who knows what Ashtar promised them that would make these Outer Realm Demons expose such a significant pawn just to eliminate Chu Xiu!

That extreme sense of danger rose again, leaving Chu Xiu little time to think, only knowing he must not be trapped by this golden bell. If this array map had any space-isolating ability, he’d be too passive!

With a loud shout, the five surrounding ghosts roared simultaneously, no longer concealing their strength, unleashing an energy level comparable to Perfect Demigods, transforming into five giant hands dragging the golden bell above. At the moment of impact, an eerie sound of flesh slicing echoed, Chu Xiu felt enormous pressure as the five hands were instantly pressed downward!

This made Chu Xiu reveal a horrified expression once more!

However, after all, they were five Perfect Demigods, slowing the descent of the golden bell significantly. Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Xiu transformed into a straight stream of light, fleeing outward!

"Boom!"

At the instant the golden bell fell, he narrowly escaped the coverage of the Tai Chi Diagram with blistering speed!

"What are you doing? Come back!"

At this moment, Chu Xiu saw Zhang Zhengdao with a grim face reaching towards him, with two more array maps rising behind!

That intense fear struck him again, and Chu Xiu instinctively dodged upward.

This time, though, the expected attack did not arrive. Instead, a gentle laughter echoed beside his ear.

"I smell the grandeur of the deceived."

As the voice fell, the scene before Chu Xiu suddenly changed, only then realizing that somehow, he had rushed to nearly a hundred thousand meters high, the view revealing a starry sky!

And in front of him stood a charming woman with a smile.

The woman held a thin blood-red chain in her hand, and the other end of the chain...
