How can this be avoided?
Fang Xiu fell into deep thought. At present, only the Xuanyuan Sword could kill Joker, but Joker had undergone a transformation and his vitality was extremely strong. Even if he would die without being hit by the Xuanyuan Sword, he would still have time to breathe his last. That short moment would be enough for him to self-destruct.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Xiu decided to try a few more times to see if he could finish off Joker immediately after he was hit by the sword, preventing him from self-destructing.
And so, the script was repeated once again.
Through a series of schemes, Joker was once again struck by the Xuanyuan Sword.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide with rage.
"I'm willing to die..."
Boom boom boom!
Under Fang Xiu's command, the group didn't even let Joker finish his last words before launching their maximum attack despite their exhaustion.
Joker was overwhelmed by the crowd's attacks, but he still managed to self-destruct.
The attacks from the crowd were not very effective because the spiritual light within him had not been exhausted. Even on the verge of death, as long as the spiritual light remained, he could defend against the attacks and then self-destruct.
Fang Xiu tried several more times, but no matter how he changed the process, the result was the same: the Joker self-destructed, and everyone perished together.
Everything seemed to be preordained.
For a time, it seemed like a dead end.
Fang Xiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He had once imagined what he would do if he encountered a dead end, a situation that could not be resolved no matter how many times he died and rewound.
That would likely lead to an endless cycle, from which one would never escape this vicious circle.
He had initially anticipated that he might encounter a powerful supernatural being, become trapped in its domain, and be unable to defeat it, thus falling into a vicious cycle.
Unexpectedly, the vicious cycle appeared so quickly. The most crucial issue wasn't that they couldn't win, but how to avoid Joker's mutual destruction after they won.
Actually, this isn't a complete vicious cycle.
Fang Xiu knew very well the way to break out of the vicious cycle: to escape directly.
While the captains were holding off the Joker, he turned and ran away.
But he would never do that unless absolutely necessary.
If they escape, everything they did before will be in vain, and they will have died for nothing.
Both will lose their two major supporters: the playing cards and the headquarters.
If successful, one will gain both the support of the playing cards and the headquarters, and will also gain extremely high influence.
Of course, none of this is the most important thing. What Fang Xiu wanted was never power, but to make all the strange creatures in the world feel pain!
Everything he did was for this purpose: revenge, to vent his anger on the world, and for his wife!
Now that the poker organization that was about to turn the entire population into something bizarre has run away, what has become of his suffering? Is it just a child's play?
"I can die here ten thousand times, but I will never run away once," Fang Xiu muttered to himself, his silver hair falling down and casting a shadow over his face. In that shadow, only one human eye emitted an eerie blood-red light.
"Brother Xiu, what's wrong?" Xiao Chuxia looked at Fang Xiu and felt a chill run down her spine.
"It's nothing." Fang Xiu instantly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.
This simple ability to manage his expressions was ingrained in him; after all, if he didn't have this skill, his wife wouldn't even let him leave the house.
"Hey Xiu, where are you going? Aren't we supposed to be going to the venue?" Xiao Chuxia looked at Fang Xiu, who had turned around, with a puzzled expression.
"Go find something that can break the deadlock."
Xiao Chuxia became increasingly puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions and instead followed Fang Xiu closely.
The two wandered aimlessly around the headquarters. Xiao Chuxia didn't know what Fang Xiu was looking for, and neither did Fang Xiu.
He only knew that the existing conditions were not enough to break the deadlock; he needed to add some other variables to do so.
But what the variable is, nobody knows.
As time went on, the battle, which had been free of Fang Xiu's interference, returned to normal.
Joker's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the venue.
"Hahaha... From this day forward, I will stand at the pinnacle!"
Fang Xiu remained unmoved and continued his search.
Xiao Chuxia turned pale with fright and clung tightly to Fang Xiu's arm.
"Hugh, what should we do? It looks like headquarters is going to go under. Is it too late for me to join the poker club?"
Fang Xiu ignored her.
Xiao Chuxia grew increasingly frightened: "Brother Xiu, I heard that the members of the Poker Organization are half-human and half-monster. They are all crazy. If a beautiful girl like me falls into their hands, I will definitely suffer inhuman torture. I might be raped and then killed. Let's run away quickly."
"You can't escape now."
A sinister laugh rang out.
It's the Joker!
At this moment, Joker was in high spirits. He had killed all the captains in the headquarters and was slowly surrounding Fang Xiu with his countless henchmen.
He has never forgotten Fang Xiu's "achievements".
If Fang Xiu hadn't foreseen the future, the headquarters would have been destroyed long ago.
"Oh no, oh no, I'm doomed!" Xiao Chuxia trembled with fear and quickly hid behind Fang Xiu.
"Fang Xiu, the prophet, submit or die." Joker looked at Fang Xiu with a cold smile, as if he were looking at a fish on a chopping board.
Fang Xiu seemed not to hear, his calm eyes constantly scanning his surroundings.
By this time, the poker organization had won a great victory, since the headquarters, without its captain, was powerless to resist.
The poker players were ruthlessly slaughtering the headquarters staff, even those who had previously passed out from inhaling alcohol fumes were not spared; they were beheaded by the hair.
