Chapter 337: Chapter 338: Who’s Outsmarting Whom? (2nd Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

Ao Zhenyuan had originally wanted to use the countless fierce ghosts in the ghost tribe army to exhaust Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power.

Although these fierce ghosts were not very strong, they were extremely annoying and numerous, and even masses of ants can bite an elephant to death.

Even if a sacred being fell into their midst, it would take a considerable amount of effort to exterminate this army of fierce ghosts.

Ao Zhenyuan had no idea how many sacred beings he had killed using this tactic.

These common fierce ghosts could be easily obtained in great numbers by destroying a single sect, so naturally, he didn’t care about using them up.

But what he could never have imagined was that Chu Fengmian actually possessed a way to neutralize this ghostly energy, which was extremely problematic even for sacred beings to tackle, requiring a great deal of effort to cleanse once contaminated.

However, Chu Fengmian’s Battle Dragon Technique was the bane of all demonic creatures, and this ghostly energy was easily neutralized in the face of the ancient battle dragon’s might.

His fierce ghosts didn’t make Chu Fengmian consume any Spiritual Power at all; on the contrary, they became sources of Spiritual Power for Chu Fengmian to devour, causing the power within Chu Fengmian to surge with each passing moment.

As a result, he now had no choice but to let the five ghost gods take action!

These five ghost gods were the result of capturing five sacred beings and had taken hundreds of years to cultivate; it had taken so much time to condense them into existence.

Each of these ghost gods was a treasure in the heart of Ao Zhenyuan, not daring to be used unless absolutely necessary, but now, to deal with Chu Fengmian, Ao Zhenyuan had to grit his teeth and bring them out.

As long as Chu Fengmian was killed today, even if several ghost gods perished, he would accept it; being able to obtain the countless fortuitous encounters on Chu Fengmian, especially the heavenly grade Spiritual Artifact, the Plentiful Stele, would be enough to compensate for all his losses.

Ao Zhenyuan’s Spiritual Power burst forth, instantly transforming into five streams of Spiritual Power, each simultaneously poured into the five ghost gods.

The power of these five ghost gods began to swell crazily, and in an instant, the strength of each ghost god reached around the six-layer pinnacle of Divine Power.

These five ghost gods, comparable to five sacred beings at the six-layer pinnacle of Divine Power, joined forces.

Between heaven and earth, the layers of ghostly energy became even more tangible and terrifying, turning into pitch black.

The entire space fell into a darkness of despair, where no hope could be seen, only endless despair.

"Five Ghosts Sealing God Array!"

The five ghost gods suddenly united, condensing a horrifyingly immense formation.

At this moment, everyone who saw the formation changed their expressions drastically.

This was Ao Zhenyuan’s supreme killing move, the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array!

These five ghost gods, all being terrorizing powerhouses at the six-layer pinnacle of Divine Power, took action together, and even sacred beings at the seven-layer pinnacle of Divine Power would be suppressed.

The appearance of the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array signified that Ao Zhenyuan intended to thoroughly suppress Chu Fengmian once and for all.

"Five Ghosts Sealing God Array?"

Chu Fengmian laughed coldly, acknowledging that indeed, the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array was an extremely powerful suppressive technique.

If Chu Fengmian had not broken through earlier and faced it with the strength of the fifth level of Yufeng Realm, he would likely be easily suppressed by Ao Zhenyuan.

But now that Chu Fengmian had broken through and reached a critical point, the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array couldn’t possibly suppress him.

"Sky Splitting!"

The Sword Edge in Chu Fengmian’s hand shone brightly, slashing towards the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array before him.

The power of this sword strike was terrifyingly immense; in an instant, it slashed out, seemingly tearing a rift into the sky itself.

The true Sky Splitting Sword caused the entire space of Ao Zhenyuan, even the Netherworld Ghost Domain, to begin trembling.

"Good! I knew all along you had this trick up your sleeve! Too bad you’ve been duped!"

Ao Zhenyuan saw the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array being torn apart, a smile of confidence spreading across his face as he laughed instead of showing any shock.

"Five Ghost Gods! Appear to me and annihilate him!"

Within the Five Ghosts Sealing God Array, the figures of five ghost gods instantly appeared, directly confronting Chu Fengmian.

A chorus of ghostly wails and howls rose as endless ghostly energies transformed into five long spears, simultaneously stabbing toward Chu Fengmian.

The Five Ghosts Sealing God Array was only enough to suppress Chu Fengmian, and suppressing someone like Chu Fengmian was incredibly difficult.

From the beginning, Ao Zhenyuan had not intended to suppress Chu Fengmian but to completely eradicate him.

Chu Fengmian, who was able to possess such extraordinary encounters and power at such a young age, was a person of immense fortune.

For such a person, given even the slightest chance, Chu Fengmian could find an opportunity to turn the tables in a dire situation.

Thus, from the beginning, Ao Zhenyuan had resolved in his heart to thoroughly kill Chu Fengmian, leaving no opportunity for him.

The moment the five ghost gods appeared, they were already before Chu Fengmian, giving him no time to catch his breath. With a sudden move, they aimed to surprise and annihilate Chu Fengmian.

"Young man, do you really think you can so easily break through my Five Ghosts Sealing God Array? Let me tell you, all of this is according to my plan. If you die by my hand today, you will have no grievances!"

Ao Zhenyuan burst into continuous laughter.

As a seventh-level divine power figure and the Great Commander of the Demolition Legion, he had resorted to such methods for dealing with a junior like Chu Fengmian.

If Chu Fengmian were to escape today, then he would no longer be fit to continue as the Great Commander.

In Ao Zhenyuan’s view, Chu Fengmian was already a dead man.

The five ghost gods launched a sudden sneak attack from such close proximity that even he could not react in time, let alone Chu Fengmian.

This time, Chu Fengmian was undoubtedly doomed.

"Is that so? You have your calculations, but did you think that I, Chu, would have none?"

The sudden strike of the five ghost gods did not seem to startle Chu Fengmian in the slightest; it was as if he had long anticipated it.

"I had already guessed your plan. Did you think the destruction you deliberately revealed could deceive me, Chu?"

The vulnerabilities that Ao Zhenyuan had deliberately shown could not possibly escape the notice of Chu Fengmian.

A character like Ao Zhenyuan would not reveal even half a weakness in such a life-and-death confrontation, let alone a full one.

As one of the prominent among the saints, such an obvious flaw was instantly recognizable to Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian looked at the five ghost gods approaching with spears poised to strike, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Chu Fengmian had not pointed out the problem sooner precisely because of these five ghost gods.

The spiritual power of these five ghost gods was no less than the divine blood of five true saints. Chu Fengmian had long wanted to devour all five ghost gods.

Now this move was like drawing the snake out of its hole, luring the five ghost gods out.

At the moment when the five ghost gods approached Chu Fengmian, the power of the Cornucopia within his palm had already been activated to its limit.
