"I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, I'll swear. If I, Xiao Chuxia, lied to you, Fang Xiu, then may I remain a virgin for the rest of my life!"
Fang Xiu put away the scalpel and temporarily trusted her.
Considering Xiao Chuxia's behavior in the dream, this vow is quite vicious.
"To ensure everything goes perfectly, let's gather some more power of lies," Fang Xiu said calmly.
Xiao Chuxia touched her slightly cool neck.
"How do I collect it? I've already harvested almost all of it in the dream world. One person can't provide an infinite amount of the power of lies. Otherwise, I would have just found someone and lied to them until they died. I would have become a fifth-level spirit master long ago."
"Aren't there so many people awake at headquarters? And there are even a few fourth- or fifth-tier people."
Xiao Chuxia was startled: "Brother Xiu, are you trying to fool Joker and Fang Moli? This isn't a dream, they won't be fooled so easily."
"Just do as I say."
......
......
The plot returned to normal, and Fang Xiu successfully rescued Luo Qingxin, Li Xiaoru, and Xiong Tianguang, just like before.
Then he led them to defeat the Joker's clone.
"Go and help Fang Moli deal with the Joker's true form," Fang Xiu instructed the three.
The three, who were used to cheating, were immediately taken aback.
Xiong Tianguang was even more reluctant to part with Fang Xiu, this cheat code, and quickly asked, "Brother Xiu, aren't you going?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "I have more important things to do. Time is of the essence. Go quickly."
Seeing that Fang Xiu said so, they couldn't insist. After all, if the prophet said something was important, it must be very important.
And so, the three of them were tricked away by Fang Xiu.
At this moment, he glanced calmly at Xiao Chuxia and said indifferently, "You've memorized the plan, haven't you?"
Xiao Chuxia nodded nervously: "I'll remember. But what if I get caught? Will I die? I've never lied to a fifth-tier expert before."
"Don't worry, you won't die."
Fang Xiu's calm words carried a strange sense of peace.
Xiao Chuxia gradually calmed down. Although she didn't know how Fang Xiu had managed to save herself from a fifth-tier expert, she could tell from her own experience of lying that Fang Xiu was telling the truth.
His words seemed to contain a kind of unwavering confidence.
Of course, what Fang Xiu said was indeed true. After all, Xiao Chuxia was the key to the plan. If she died, he would have to start over, which was equivalent to Xiao Chuxia not dying.
......
......
On the battlefield.
At this moment, Fang Moli and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with Joker.
However, without Fang Xiu's help, their situation was precarious, and the four fourth-tier spirit masters were no match for the fifth-tier ones.
The difference in strength between the two sides cannot be compensated for by sheer numbers.
"Hahaha... The captain of headquarters, huh, nothing special." The Joker looked at the five men covered in blood and couldn't stop laughing wildly.
He felt he was one step closer to destroying the headquarters and realizing the dean's great ideal.
"Fang Moli, so what if you have the Xuanyuan Sword? Only a fifth-tier opponent can deal with a fifth-tier opponent!"
Everyone's faces were solemn, and they remained silent, but they couldn't help feeling a sense of despair.
Is there really no hope?
Is the headquarters really going to be destroyed?
Only by truly fighting against a fifth-tier powerhouse can one personally experience the gap between fourth and fifth tiers, a gap that is much larger than that between third and fourth tiers.
The domain power that he was once so proud of had no effect on the Joker.
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Joker laughed even more wildly.
"Where is the prophet Fang Xiu? Didn't you guys do a good job working together to deal with my clone? Why is he afraid to show up in front of my real body?"
Hahaha... It seems he foresaw the inevitable defeat of headquarters and ran away in advance, right?
The crowd's expressions grew increasingly grim, and some were even swayed by Joker's words.
Yes, where did Fang Xiu go?
He said he had things to do, but what could be more important than winning this battle right now?
Could it be true, as Joker said, that Fang Xiu had already foreseen a doomed future and therefore ran away in advance?
Did they help us before so that we could fight the Joker and buy him time to escape?
Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from afar.
"Boss, save me!"
A pitch-black, humanoid creature made of shadows came running at top speed.
It's the Ace of Spades!
At this moment, the Ace of Spades looked extremely miserable. His body was covered in thin shadows and had several holes of varying sizes. His body was completely broken and he looked like he was about to die.
Joker frowned immediately.
Ace of Spades?
Before he could think it through, countless mad, foolish, and indescribable murmurs suddenly echoed throughout the world.
A terrifying aura enveloped the entire area, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
Everyone looked behind the Ace of Spades in horror, only to see a mountain of flesh rising up from the ground behind him.
It is indeed a gluttonous beast!
The oppressive feeling emanating from the high latitudes was simply suffocating.
Fang Xiu stood atop the Taotie's head.
"Ace of Spades, prepare to die!"
Under Fang Xiu's control, the Taotie's enormous, fleshy hand, which blotted out the sky, slammed down.
The Ace of Spades was terrified and fled in a panic.
Seeing the performance of the Ace of Spades, Fang Xiu was very impressed. He realized that Xiao Chuxia was not without merits.
At least she's a skilled actress, despite often lying; this trembling performance is almost on par with her own.
The fleeing Ace of Spades (Xiao Chuxia) was unaware of Fang Xiu's thoughts at that moment, otherwise she would definitely have complained.
Is it possible that this wasn't staged?
Joker wouldn't stand idly by when he saw his underlings being chased, especially when the fate of his other underlings was unknown.
He knew very well that the Taotie in front of him was an illusion, and he had seen Fang Xiu use it once before when he dealt with Yan Changshou.
In the blink of an eye, a bolt of blood-red lightning, covering the light of the mind, roared out and slammed into the giant hand of the Taotie.
