"Captain Zhou… should we?..." Hesitated Hu Yong. He knew that they needed to save Xu Shi because they can't go back to headquarters without Xu Shi as they will be held responsible for his life. But he also doesn't want to do anything related with Xu Shi because he really treats their squad's lives as if they are toys.
"Shit… It's the perfect example of having an abyss of fire in front and a sea of poison behind you. You are forced to take either choice even if you don't like doing so." Captain Zhou swore with a bitter and irritated face.
(We could only go with the flow…even if it's at the risk of death.) thought Captain Zhou.
"Young Master Xu Shi, we all know what kind of person you are…unless you pledge on heaven and earth to release the soul contract and return the Ghost dipper squad to 'ORDER' organisation, we refuse to rescue you….even if you are determined to kill us using soul contract, we refuse to balk even a half step." Captain Zhou roared to Xu Shi with a determined face which made his teammates surprised and gained their respect.
"Y...you. Alright...so be it then. I Xu Shi pledge on heaven and earth to give your squad the freedom you want. Now that I have pledged, save me quickly…" a voice came from inside the pit as it carries a bit of helplessness and pain. Xu Shi really made a big effort to suppress his roiling qi and blood so as to not deepen his wounds because of Captain Zhou's words.
The Ghost dipper squad made happy faces and revealed determined and resolute expression as they faced towards Sun Wukong who was watching all the drama from above. But they couldn't see the killing intent and ruthlessness in the eyes of Xu Shi as he still lay low in the pit.
"I hope we could believe you this one last time." Coldly snorted Captain Zhou as he faced towards Sun Wukong and said as he clasped his hands together." Senior, we don't know who you are, but please don't be offended since your death is the only key to our freedom."
"Squad members prepare the formation." roared Captain Zhou as he formed hand seals at an alarming speed as if his life depends entirely on them.
The Ghost dipper squad comprising of 8 members instantly surrounded Sun Wukong in a bizzare formation as all the members were in irregular position with Sun Wukong in the middle.
"Fellow brothers, this is the last battle of our slave lives, some of us may die after using this grand formation but remember whoever is going to live will enjoy freedom for the rest of their lives, so don't be lax for even a single breath of time since our enemy is someone whose strength exceeds fixed us by a large margin." Captain Zhou said with a brave tone and lastly added." Let's have a happy war for the last time."
Every squad member took their stance forming hand seals in their respective places. A black illusory flame came floating from the forehead of every squad member as they coughed blood. The flame opposite to its name and characteristics emitted chilly pressure as if it is a demon which crawled out of the nether world.
Sun Wukong stood still in the air with his hands folded to his back while watching calmly at the Ghost dipper squad controlling their grand formation as he was thinking." Humph. Trivial formation made by weak Divine Sage realm experts. When I was younger, these ruined formations used to collapse at the first blow, let alone now. Even if it's a Dao God realm level expert they used to fear me, can't these little rascals recognise me at all?? Tsk tsk these youngsters looks like really became conceited."
The flames emitted from every squad member collected above Sun Wukong and merged together while a huge rune formation appeared beneath Sun Wukong's feet.
"We, the divine sages who worships the Demon God Mephistopheles beseech you the Heavenly Ghost to ascend the earth from the ninth nether world and command your armies of wretched souls to slay the enemy before us." Every squad member of Ghost dipper team chanted this again and again until the ghastly flame fell on the head of Sun Wukong from the above and started petrifying his body from inside while it also started to absorb his life essence and soul to burn more vigorously at a rapid pace.
A huge illusory and ghastly Phantom arose from the grand formation beneath the feet of Sun Wukong as the blood coughed by ghost dipper squad had been absorbed by it in a flash.
That phantom has innumerable illusory hands which it used to extend towards Sun Wukong and bound him with its hands rendering him from using his strength.
The Ghost dipper squad originally thought it would be a life and death hard fight and would even bring many deaths to their squad, but now looking at situation in front of them they felt silly and thought that all their nerve wracking strategies were all but naught.
They felt that their victory was won too easily which made them suspect it as they are veterans of many such life and death battles but the situation in front of them couldn't help but make them believe their victory…
"Humph. You may have defeated me but see how you had collapsed at the first blow in front of my lackeys. This Young Master is the talent of heaven's chosen, I may have been defeated now but it's just a matter of time before I grow even stronger while you are going to die now….ha ha ha didn't you say that no matter what you are going to kill me, come , kill me, come...you can't right?? Xu Shi laughed contemptuously at the sealed Sun Wukong statue while dragging his heavily wounded body from the pit by himself.
"Now that you are in my hands, I shall make you enjoy every last bit of torturing method that exists and give you a pleasurable death." Xu Shi laughed uproariously as he regained his courage after seeing that Sun Wukong had been petrified and bounded by Heavenly Ghost.
