"Why should I help you break through? What can a brute like you do? If anyone should help, it should be me," Xiong Tianguang retorted without backing down.
Luo Qingxin looked hesitant, clearly wanting to break through to the fifth level, but her aloof personality prevented her from asking for help.
"Brother Xiu... Brother Xiu." She called softly, her tone carrying a rare tenderness.
Gentleness is not uncommon, but the unintentional gentleness of an ice queen is rare.
"Shut up!"
Fang Xiu stared coldly at the three of them, showing them no respect whatsoever just because they were the team leader.
"The battle is not over yet. If you have recovered your strength, then go and kill the enemy."
The three captains were immediately intimidated by Fang Xiu, a third-tier spirit master, and none of them dared to say another word.
Die, Joker!
Fang Moli's roar echoed throughout the entire arena, and he slashed out with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
Golden sword energy shot into the sky, its dazzling light piercing the night sky and illuminating almost the entire headquarters.
"No!!!"
Joker roared in despair, frantically unleashing all his inner light in an attempt to block the sword strike.
However, with the support of fifth-tier strength, the Xuanyuan Sword unleashed an unprecedentedly terrifying power.
Joker's Inner Light was as fragile as paper under this sword strike.
boom!
As the Xuanyuan Sword energy slashed down, Joker's body was instantly engulfed by the golden sword energy.
This time, he did not self-destruct.
Because every single cell of his was annihilated by the Xuanyuan Sword Qi, he was completely dead, leaving not even a trace.
With the Joker's death, this fierce battle began to slowly come to an end.
Under Fang Moli's leadership, the headquarters began to counterattack the people of the Weird and Poker Organization. The result was predictable: a completely one-sided defeat.
After experiencing hundreds of deaths, engaging in numerous schemes, deceiving millions of people, summoning the demigod several times, breaking through to the third tier in the face of battle, revealing all his trump cards, and utilizing almost everything at his disposal, he finally won this battle.
However, Fang Xiu believed it was all worthwhile; death was nothing, and he was already used to it.
He gained much more from this battle than from death.
Breaking through the third stage awakens the ability to manifest pain. This ability is not strong in others, and is even quite useless.
But when applied to him, it becomes a divine skill.
Because he can summon various evil spirits an unlimited number of times, feel the pain they bring, and thus manifest them.
This is equivalent to him gaining countless divine skills at the third tier!
Each of the mystical gods possesses different abilities, and all of them now belong to him.
With his ability to manifest pain, he can even shatter the light of the mind and harm a fifth-tier powerhouse.
Of course, killing a fifth-tier expert is unrealistic, but even injuring one would be terrifying.
It should be noted that the captains at headquarters are all at the peak of the fourth rank. Even with their strength, they are still unable to break through the Light of the Mind, but Fang Xiu, at the third rank, was able to do so.
Besides the increase in his own strength, he also discovered the wonderful uses of Xiao Chuxia.
Although Xiao Chuxia has a virtual personality that resembles a Mary Sue heroine or a female protagonist from an adult anime, putting her personality aside, she is genuinely useful.
Especially when combined with nightmares and the title of prophet, it's practically a different kind of version of "words become law".
The remaining advantage lies in terms of influence.
Although the benefits have not yet been realized, if handled properly, the two major forces of the poker cards and the headquarters will be able to be controlled in due course.
......
......
Three days later.
Three days have passed since the great battle.
The headquarters finally cleaned up the mess, the destroyed buildings began to be rebuilt, and the funeral arrangements were made for the dead.
Although the battle ended in a victory for headquarters, the losses were devastating, with countless casualties and extensive destruction of the headquarters base.
Most seriously, although most of the monsters released from the Ghost Gate were cleared out, a small number of them still escaped.
Furthermore, the headquarters had also imprisoned some special and bizarre beings for investigation and research, but due to this battle, many of the imprisoned beings escaped.
These escaped monsters have all disappeared into the city, becoming hidden dangers.
It is foreseeable that the spirit masters at headquarters will be quite busy in the coming period.
On this day, headquarters held its first meeting since the great battle.
The head of headquarters sat solemnly at the conference table, along with four team leaders including Fang Moli and Luo Qingxin.
The place where longevity was once said to be occupied is now a place for rest and relaxation.
The only one who sat in the captain's seat was a third-tier spirit master.
Also attending the meeting were a group of headquarters spirit masters, most of whom were elites among the third-tier spirit masters, as well as several spirit masters who had just broken through to the fourth tier in this battle.
It can be said that this meeting covered almost all of the top people at headquarters, the people who support the entire headquarters.
However, these people could only sit on the periphery of the conference table.
"Comrades, the headquarters suffered heavy losses in this battle." The minister's heavy words echoed throughout the meeting room through the microphone.
The spirit masters present all showed signs of sadness to varying degrees. It was hard for anyone to be happy when their former comrades died in battle.
"The poker organization had been plotting for a long time, and had turned Yan Changshou, one of the five captains of the headquarters, against them. The two sides cooperated from the inside and outside, catching the headquarters off guard."
However, thanks to the prophet Fang Xiu's foresight, the poker organization's plot was thwarted!
As soon as he said this, all eyes in the room turned to Fang Xiu.
His eyes held surprise, reverence, and fervor.
Everyone who participated in the battle knew more or less about Fang Xiu's deeds.
Although on the surface it was Fang Moli who defeated the Joker, the leader of the poker organization, and turned the tide of the battle.
But in reality, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the prophet Fang Xiu was the one who truly played a decisive role.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Fang Xiu remained calm, as if he were an outsider.
He disliked meetings, but he had to attend this one because it would solidify his position at headquarters.
The minister looked at the calm Fang Xiu, his admiration undisguised.
He lavishly praised his achievements.
"The prophet Fang Xiu made a great contribution in this battle!"
The fact that the phrase "made great contributions" was used shows how highly the minister regarded Fang Xiu.
Those present, upon hearing the minister's praise, all showed expressions of agreement, and not a single person had any doubts.
"He foresaw the future and knew in advance about the Poker Organization's conspiracy, thus preventing the headquarters from being attacked and falling into a passive position."
In the battle, he single-handedly defeated Yan Changshou, the traitor from headquarters, with the strength of a third-tier Spirit Master.
He risked his life, disregarding his spiritual abilities, traversing various battlegrounds. Using his precognitive powers, he foresaw the battles, anticipated the enemy's moves, and helped Captain Li Xiaoru and others win.
The minister's solemn voice was powerful and resounding, echoing throughout the entire meeting hall.
