Along the way, Fang Xiu devoured many snakes, insects, and strange creatures.
The serpents and insects continued to gnaw at his flesh, but he made no attempt to defend himself. Instead, he casually grabbed the serpents and insects and stuffed them into the Taotie's mouth.
As the snakes and insects mysteriously swallowed him, the flesh that had been gnawed on his body immediately regenerated, and this cycle repeated itself.
In this bloody body-refining process, his body was gradually becoming stronger.
Finally, Fang Xiu arrived at the location of Guimen Pass.
Upon arriving there, he saw Yan Changshou playing the Ace of Spades.
The eerie creature, wearing Yan Changshou's mask, stretched out countless tentacles, tightly binding the Ace of Spades and lifting it high.
"Don't treat me like someone like you. Titled captain and ordinary fourth-tier are never on the same level!"
Tear!
The surging crimson tentacles were about to tear the struggling Ace of Spades to shreds.
Just at this critical moment, Fang Xiu, who had just arrived, made his move.
He activated the Twin Dragon Rings with his spirituality, unleashing one of its domains.
Domain expanded. Summoner's Rift!
A female angel with black wings and an eerie face appeared out of thin air and pointed at the Ace of Spades.
"Dark Shield!"
Dark power surged, and a dark purple light shield immediately appeared on the Ace of Spades.
He successfully blocked Yan Changshou's fatal blow.
This attack immediately caught the attention of Yan Changshou and the Ace of Spades.
Looking at that figure that seemed like a god descending to earth, the Ace of Spades was overjoyed.
Yan Changshou instantly flew into a rage.
A furious roar, brimming with extreme killing intent, erupted from his mouth: "Fang Xiu!!"
"Dark Imprisonment!"
The black-winged female angel pointed again, and a dense dark binding force firmly imprisoned Yan Changshou in place.
Meanwhile, the Ace of Spades seized the opportunity to transform into a shadow and flow like water to Fang Xiu's side.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir."
Fang Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent, not even glancing at the Ace of Spades.
"Useless trash! Is this how you complete the tasks I assigned you?"
Thump!
The Ace of Spades immediately knelt down on the ground, his face filled with fear.
"My lord, I..."
"Get out! Get out of my sight right now, leave headquarters, and get as far away as possible. Don't show up before I've calmed down, or I won't be able to resist killing you."
Hearing Fang Xiu's emotionless words, Ace of Spades felt a sudden chill, as if the shadow of death had descended upon him.
At that moment, it was as if he truly saw death.
He trembled for a moment, and after some mental preparation, he finally kowtowed heavily, his voice trembling with a hint of sobs.
"Thank you, sir, for sparing my life! I... I have no way to repay you!"
It's hard to imagine that a person who has become bizarre could unleash such strong and complex emotions, including fear, gratitude, and shame.
After saying that, the Ace of Spades turned into a shadow and disappeared.
Seeing that the Ace of Spades had left, Fang Xiu was no longer worried that his disguise would be exposed.
Otherwise, if he were to fight Yan Changshou and reveal his true strength, it wouldn't be a one-on-one duel with Yan Changshou anymore.
Instead, it was the Ace of Spades and Yan Changshou who joined forces.
Now that the Ace of Spades is gone, they can act freely.
Actually, he didn't have to save Ace of Spades just now. After all, logically speaking, both Ace of Spades and Yan Changshou are enemies.
But Fang Xiu still saved him, not because he was moved by the loyalty of the Ace of Spades, but because he had a deeper plan!
In the poker organization, the only cards he can currently utilize are the AK of spades; the smarter King of spades is now dead.
The mummified corpse lay quietly to one side, which was actually a good thing.
If a clever person doesn't die, it's easy to spot their flaws over time.
Now that only the Ace of Spades, who's a bit dim-witted, is left, he can implement his next plan—to take control of the poker organization!
If he successfully helps headquarters kill the Joker, then the Ace of Spades will have a lot of influence in the leaderless organization, and he can use the Ace of Spades to control the poker organization!
With the endorsement of the Ace of Spades, I will be the liaison between the poker organization and the dean, and all the dean's orders will be conveyed through me!
And the fact that the dean just disappeared at that moment means that the entire poker organization is under his control.
Even though the poker organization suffered heavy losses in its battle with headquarters, it was still a formidable force.
The true strength of the poker organization lies not in its people, but in its research findings, or more specifically, the research findings of its director.
This is why Fang Xiu saved the Ace of Spades; he wanted to use the Ace of Spades as a fulcrum to shake up the entire poker organization!
"Fang Xiu! I'm going to kill you!!"
At this moment, Yan Changshou suddenly let out a non-human roar, and countless scarlet tentacles pierced through the Dark Imprisonment.
He was in a very bad state, with not only the marks from the Xuanyuan Sword, but also the marks left from his previous fight with the Ace of Spades. He was seriously injured.
However, even a severely injured fourth-tier cultivator is still a fourth-tier cultivator.
Moreover, he is a top expert among the fourth-tier experts.
Boom!
Countless scarlet tentacles emerged from Yan Changshou's body, frantically burrowing into the ground, causing the ground to tremble.
Those tentacles suddenly burst out from under Fang Xiu's feet.
"Dark Shield!"
The black-winged angel behind Fang Xiu used its skill again to block Yan Changshou's attack.
Immediately under Fang Xiu's command, she spread her wings and rushed towards Yan Changshou.
More and more phantom figures appeared, tall warriors wielding great swords and wearing heavy armor.
A swordsman dressed as a wandering knight, wielding a samurai sword.
A short man, less than a meter tall, holding a blowgun.
And a man dressed like a magician, holding a deck of cards.
The five game characters attacked Yan Changshou simultaneously, each using different abilities.
"You think you can kill me with Xiong Tianguang's domain? Even he himself can't do it, so what makes you think you can!"
Yan Changshou roared repeatedly, and countless tentacles shot out from his body, turning the area within a ten-mile radius into a dense ocean of tentacles.
He fought against five opponents and still held his own. Even though his tentacles were constantly being severed, they quickly regenerated.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly; Yan Changshou's endurance was truly abnormally strong.
Despite being severely injured and fighting in successive battles, he still has so much strength left. It seems that there are indeed some advantages to not being human.
Moreover, his bizarre behavior is certainly more powerful than that of the others in the poker organization.
Although the Poker Card Organization has become bizarre, it can at least maintain a human form under normal circumstances, while Yan Changshou cannot maintain a human form for long periods of time.
Since he has a partnership with the poker organization, there's no reason for him to engage in such a flawed and bizarre transformation. Therefore, he must have sacrificed stability for power.
