"You're the one directing them!" Joker exclaimed instantly.
At this moment, he keenly noticed that Luo Qingxin and the others had several extremely fine silver hairs attached to their bodies. These silver hairs were almost invisible in the darkness.
The source of the hair was none other than Fang Xiu.
Joker felt he had seen through everything. The prophet Fang Xiu, with his ability to foresee the future, saw through all of Joker's attack trajectories and then used his silver hair to connect with the three captains and control them in battle.
It turns out that the three captains were nothing more than puppets from beginning to end, while Fang Xiu was the one who was truly fighting against him!
Suddenly, a barely perceptible sneer flashed across Joker's lips. Now that he had seen through Fang Xiu's little tricks, the rest would be simple: just cut off these strands of hair to sever his connection with the three captains.
An external brain for the team? Haha... Then I'll sever the connection between the brain and the body.
While Joker couldn't defeat the three captains, cutting off the silver hair during the battle would be relatively easy.
Suddenly, a blinding burst of lightning erupted from his body, countless dense bolts of lightning bursting out, forcing the three captains back. Then, he suddenly attacked the air behind the three of them.
That's where the hair strands connect.
Those mere strands of silver hair were utterly no match for the Joker's attack.
What Joker didn't notice was that the moment he attacked the silver-haired man, all three captains simultaneously revealed a cold smile.
But the voices they uttered were filled with extreme anxiety.
"stop!"
"Don't even think about it!"
The three men attacked simultaneously. The general behind Li Xiaoru fired several arrows in succession, while Luo Qingxin's hands flew, shooting out countless ice spikes.
Xiong Tianguang then sent out a flying mantis, whose two scythe-like forelegs transformed into two streaks of light, slashing out fiercely.
Seeing their anxiety, Joker became even more certain of his judgment. He sneered inwardly and, despite continuously expending the power of his clones, endured the attacks of the three captains to sever the silver hair.
Finally, thanks to the Joker's relentless efforts, the silver hair was cut off.
"Hmph, without the prophet Fang Xiu's manipulation, I'd like to see how you deal with me." Joker sneered continuously, as if victory was in his grasp.
Little did they know, this was just the beginning of a trap.
"hateful!"
The three captains' expressions turned extremely ugly, and they immediately began to act frantically, mainly because they were afraid that if they didn't act soon, their acting skills would crumble.
Seeing the three captains' actions, Joker's eyes flashed with smugness. Lightning crackled in his hand as he bombarded them relentlessly, even conjuring a lightning sword to slash wildly.
Under his powerful offensive, the three captains were no longer as at ease as before, no longer able to cooperate seamlessly and anticipate the enemy's moves. Instead, they were in a very sorry state and made many mistakes.
"Three seconds later, Xiong Tianguang will create an opening, and the others should coordinate accordingly."
Fang Xiu's calm voice echoed eerily in the minds of the three.
The three remained unmoved, as if they hadn't heard anything, and continued fighting the Joker.
Three seconds later, however, the three of them made a mistake in their coordination, and Li Xiaoru was controlling a general wielding two axes who was about to slash at Joker.
As a result, the warriors wielding great swords sent by Xiong Tianguang also rushed over, and the two blocked each other, causing a small gap to appear in the encirclement.
Joker was, after all, a fifth-tier expert. Although he was only fighting with a clone, his eyesight and combat awareness were still there. With his experience, he seized the opportunity and, with a flash of lightning, broke out of the encirclement and rushed towards Xiong Tianguang.
Xiong Tianguang was shocked and hurriedly sent his game characters to defend, but once a flaw was exposed, it was not so easy to fix.
Joker's sinister grin was already evident on his face; he had no doubt that this was a trap.
Since the prophet Fang Xiu is no longer in command, it's normal for coordination errors to occur.
This is similar to teamwork in a game; sometimes, due to miscoordination with teammates, control skills might overlap.
This is especially true in combat, where things change rapidly and are far more complex than in games; not everyone can coordinate perfectly.
Joker's choice of Xiong Tianguang as his entry point was naturally based on his own considerations.
Of the three captains, Xiong Tianguang is the most difficult to deal with because his abilities are complex, diverse, and flashy, which often causes some trouble.
Meanwhile, Xiong Tianguang is the weakest of the three captains in close combat. As a homebody, even though he has the physique of a fourth-tier expert, he has hardly ever done any fighting training because he usually plays games.
The only training I did was playing fighting games.
The lightning that Joker transformed into instantly struck Xiong Tianguang's face, and a giant hand crackling with lightning pierced through his heart.
However, at the very moment of piercing, Joker's expression changed slightly; something felt wrong.
The next second, Xiong Tianguang's figure slowly dissipated.
A phantom!?
Joker realized something was wrong, but it was too late. A giant purple mantis appeared out of nowhere beside him, its scythe-like forelegs slashing down on his body.
With a single hit, Joker's movements were immediately restricted, and then Luo Qingxin and Li Xiaoru's attacks arrived in an instant.
The ice froze his body, and the halberd smashed his head.
Bang!
Joker's body exploded, turning into a tattered little wooden puppet.
"Finally solved. I didn't expect even a clone to be so troublesome." Xiong Tianguang's figure appeared from the side, slightly sighing.
"Fortunately, Fang Xiu was able to communicate directly through his mind and secretly give orders. He even deliberately connected with the silver hair to mislead the Joker. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to win the battle in a short time." Luo Qingxin stared at Fang Xiu, a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
No matter how many times, the feeling of having the future under control is always awe-inspiring.
The other team leaders also shared the same sentiment.
Li Xiaoru laughed loudly: "I've never fought such an easy battle in my life. I didn't have to think at all. It's like cheating on an exam by just sitting down the answers. It's awesome!"
Mind dialogue is a new ability that Fang Xiu gained after breaking through to the third level and enhancing his Nightmare ability. In the past, Nightmare could connect with dreams, but in fact, dreams are just a manifestation of the mind.
The reason they didn't use this ability before was simply to better deceive the Ace of Hearts and his group, but this trick doesn't work on the Joker, since the Joker is clearly smarter than the Ace of Hearts and his group.
"Let's go find the Joker himself." Fang Xiu ignored the praise from the crowd and stood up again.
Only by completely defeating the Joker's true form can this battle be considered won.
But Joker is a fifth-tier player!
