The figures of the Murder Ghost and his two puppets vividly appeared in Chu Xiu’s mind. He feigned ignorance, luring the Swordsman and Military Generals into action. Just as he raised his sword to block their attacks, and the Murder Ghost prepared to ambush from behind, Chu Xiu suddenly turned, using his back to take the blow from the two puppets!

Instantly, the Guan Saber sliced open his entire back, while the Tang Saber pierced slantwise into his vitals!

Yet Chu Xiu seemed oblivious, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Body of the Ninth Heaven, combined with the fused powerful equipment, was enough to withstand these two strikes!

The Guan Saber was blocked by his bones, and the Tang Saber was stuck after piercing just three inches, unable to go further!

Meanwhile, the Chiwen in Chu Xiu’s hand traced a perfect arc in the air, releasing the accumulated power to its utmost, slashing towards the Murder Ghost without reservation!

"!!!"

The Murder Ghost was shocked, wildly raising his arms, using the armor bestowed by the Outer Realm Demon to protect his body!

"Clang!!!!!!!"

At the moment of their clash, a soundwave loud enough to shatter eardrums reverberated through the air, and the massive sonic boom could even crush rocks! The collision’s energy fluctuation formed a completely light and heat-based domain near the two!

"Boom!!!"

The massive shockwave shattered all the rocks within a kilometer radius, and the black mist was completely blown away.

As the dazzling flames dispersed, the figure of the Murder Ghost was revealed, sent flying backwards.

His body was embedded in layers of rock, his armor almost completely shattered, his body a bloody mess.

He stared wide-eyed at Chu Xiu opposite him, full of unwillingness and disbelief, roaring, "Are you toying with me? With this power, you could have killed me the moment we first met!"

But Chu Xiu gave no response, his eyes full of murderous intent, dragging the Heavy Sword as he charged towards the Murder Ghost rapidly!

"Buzz!"

A space portal appeared behind the Murder Ghost, and his body swiftly contracted into the space portal, but his eyes remained locked fiercely on Chu Xiu!

"Boom!"

Chu Xiu’s sword grazed the Murder Ghost’s body, smashing heavily onto the ground, shattering hundreds of meters of rock.

"Did he escape again..."

Chu Xiu clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

He usually doesn’t let a single failure affect his state of mind.

But this time was different.

The Murder Ghost was such a goddamn fool.

Letting him escape would surely bring countless troubles in the future.

And this time, it was the closest Chu Xiu had come to killing him, and the enemy would only be more cautious in the future.

To let him escape right under his nose, Chu Xiu was truly unwilling!

He closed his eyes and began to sense carefully.

To prevent the Murder Ghost from escaping again, he naturally let loose the Ghost immediately this time as well.

But unlike before, no matter how he sensed, he couldn’t feel the slightest connection between the Ghost King and the Ghostly Mist, as if the mist had been thrown into another space entirely.

"Another space..."

Chu Xiu suddenly recalled the scene that flashed before his eyes when he was about to strike the Murder Ghost just now, the landscape behind the Murder Ghost.

Tower after tower rising.

That was an entirely different world.

Chu Xiu realized that this was likely the Murder Ghost escaping back to his own space.

Previously in Peng City, the opponent likely used this method to escape the Investigation Bureau’s demigod pursuit.

Chu Xiu sighed lightly, feeling unwilling but helpless.

But just then, a buzzing sound came from behind him!

Chu Xiu turned to look, only to see the blood-covered Murder Ghost charging out from the space portal, like a gambler with a crazed red eye, staring at him frantically!

"Qin Yu, you haven’t won yet!!!"

"Let’s do it again! This time, I declare a war of civilizations on you!!!"
