"No wonder this woman didn’t come to me after passing the challenge; she has actually become part of the Extreme Dao!"

Chu Xiu frowned deeply, but this has made things troublesome.

One must know, this woman has merged with an Ancient God Relic!

Even the Murder Ghosts can directly ascend a major realm in power with the Outer Realm Demon’s enhancement. It’s naturally no trouble for the Outer Realm Demon to help Su Jinyu unleash the power of the Ancient God Relic.

Under Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense scanning, he could clearly see Su Jinyu’s body, only close to King Tier strength, but that power from the Ancient God Relic was as dazzling and obvious as a sun in the night, making her like a girl holding an explosive, ready to lose control of her power at any moment!

But before that power went out of control, it granted her, like the Murder Ghosts, a troublesome ability that even the Heroic Spirits were unwilling to approach.

Of course, if it were only so, thinking of suppressing so many Heroic Spirits on the field is still too far-fetched.

But the problem is...

Chu Xiu focused on a distant spot, and some Heroic Spirits began silently retreating.

This was a premeditated ambush.

Both the Murder Ghosts and Su Jinyu have enough power to pose a threat to the Heroic Spirits. This threat isn’t like the ordinary King Tier which might harm a Heroic Spirit, but rather carries the risk of direct demise if hit unexpectedly!

More critically, Extreme Dao was clearly well-prepared for this ambush, how can one ensure they have no other trump cards?

In such a situation, do these Heroic Spirits truly wish to fight here?

The answer is clearly no.

For these powerful lives, most no longer constrained by familial bonds or moral codes, they seek only their own power and eternal interests. Maintaining the rules on ordinary days is just to have tall ones to support the sky when it falls.

Not only Chu Xiu, others also realized this, and Jiang Lingfu immediately shouted: "Everyone, attack the Forbidden Objects with full force immediately, this is an order from the Investigation Bureau! Think of the oath you took when you became Awakened. The government has supported your growth all this way, giving you the strength you have now, will you shrink back when needed?"

"If you run now, the Investigation Bureau will definitely not let it go easily in the future. But if you assist us in destroying the Forbidden Objects, it will be a great merit, with generous rewards!"

Jiang Lingfu gave it his all with this carrot-and-stick approach.

However, to become a Heroic Spirit, which among them isn’t a crafty one, how could they be deceived by him so easily?

First, a masked Heroic Spirit suddenly dashed towards outside the auction house, and like a signal flare, many Heroic Spirits started retreating to the surroundings, especially those who masked their identities!

These Heroic Spirits were the majority, out of 27 individuals, 15 hid their identities, and among these 15, only 3 stayed!

Faced with these fleeing Heroic Spirits, the Extreme Dao people did not stop them; their target was only to focus on guarding that Forbidden Object.

In just the time of one breath, a large number of Heroic Spirits fled this place, and this action immediately sparked a further vicious cycle. When they had the upper hand in numbers, they could barely manage the others, but now that half have fled, how can they fight?

Even the Heroic Spirits whose faces were exposed began to silently retreat, away from the center battlefield, although they did not flee immediately, they provided only distant support from a safe distance.

The Heroic Spirits with genuine fighting spirit left were fewer than ten.

This made Jiang Lingfu’s face incredibly grim, he turned to Chu Xiu who hadn’t fled yet and shouted lowly: "This bunch of useless people can’t be relied upon, only we can rely on ourselves. These Extreme Dao caught us by surprise, support will arrive soon, and they won’t hold out for long, but we don’t have time to wait for support, we must stop the Forbidden Objects now, you protect Miaoyin, while I go to kill Extreme Dao!"

He apparently knew Chu Xiu couldn’t truly exert full strength, so he only asked him to protect Jiang Miaoyin.

Chu Xiu’s face flickered, his heart in conflict too. The current situation was changing too quickly for him to judge.

Fleeing immediately was certainly the safest choice, but from the scene, the Murder Ghost side didn’t actually have the advantage, if they could capture them, substantial benefits could be gained. Yet, the dangerous nature of the Murder Ghosts and Su Jinyu made him apprehensive, and who knew what other cards they had?

His expression changed for a while, looking at the enormous crack rapidly expanding in the sky, he eventually snorted coldly, pointing both hands forward, instantly, hundreds of black long spears formed from Demon Energy soldiers appeared behind him! In the next moment, endless spears shot forth. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

When he was at the General Tier, the power of Demon Energy Soldiers could already confront Heroic Spirits directly, now ascended to King Tier with various boosts, the power skyrocketed more than twice, and immediately a great number of Extreme Dao and Murder Ghost Spirit Puppets were shot down.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingfu was greatly pleased, an ultimate cold current surged around him, and Zhao Hong also joined in, rushing towards the Murder Ghost.

Under the cooperation of the Heroic Spirits, the Extreme Dao was killed in retreat, seemingly about to reach the Murder Ghost!

However, just then, a sudden change occured, within the Heroic Spirits following Jiang Lingfu, Zhao Hong suddenly without warning redirected his skill, directly towards Jiang Lingfu’s back with a strike!

With a loud crash, the armor on Jiang Lingfu’s back shattered, and he was sent flying.

"Zhao Hong, you..." Jiang Lingfu turned around in disbelief.
