The eerie, almost indiscriminate chanting attack, even with my own strength and having set up defenses in advance using special means, still made my mind churn, stirring my blood, and the purple robe I wore seemed eager to attack, to kill me.
This technique, used unexpectedly, is indeed a powerful weapon for the few to defeat the many.
Especially since it can interrupt the "Apocalypse" array, it is particularly effective against the Third-tier Red Emperor Army trained in this unique way...
If I can truly seize the opportunity to ambush at the critical moment when the other side makes a move, even with only two of us, it’s not impossible to annihilate the enemy...
Xiao Ya’s heart suddenly stirred.
She rolled her eyes, stopped smiling, became extremely serious, and said, "If you really have that intention, you could give it a try. However, let’s switch our responsibilities; I’ll take on Yan Hui and part of the Red Emperor Army, and you deal with Voodoo."
Pausing, she added, "Being both mechanics experts, if Voodoo is dead set on stalling me, I can’t defeat him quickly. And your strength probably isn’t on par with Yan Hui, right?"
The gap between 360 and 250 on the Human List is quite large. Xiao Ya muttered quietly to herself.
She certainly didn’t know that when Xu Shu made it to the Human List, he was only at the Third-stage Early Stage, with a Curse Seal level of only forty-six or seven.
But now, Xu Shu had already broken through to the Third-tier Middle Stage, greatly increasing his strength.
Although it was still uncertain which tier of the Human List he corresponded to, it was certain that he far surpassed the level of the Human List Gatekeeper!
Of course, she couldn’t have known, as it had only been a month or so since Xu Shu ascended the list.
In over a month, how much could a normal person improve? Barely steadying their realm would be about it.
In Xiao Ya’s eyes, Xu Shu at this moment was still just a talented novice who had not long ago broken through the Third-stage.
Thus, as soon as she spoke, she took over the strongest part of the enemy forces.
But this also showed her confidence, as if the 250th ranked Yan Hui on the Human List was nothing more than a paper tiger in the eyes of this "older generation strongman," even if he brought a large number of subordinates, she could still fight and win.
The two had a whispering conversation, exchanged glances, and had already set their plan.
Of course, the premise is naturally that they could "wait until the opponent was thwarted and left exposed."
If they really charged directly up? Still a bit lacking.
"So, do you have any plans now?" Xiao Ya asked.
"Of course." At this point, Xu Shu looked at Mao Tu and their masks, and a bold yet complete idea had already formed in his mind.
He crouched down and smiled at the ’Fried Mao Tu’, who had been neglected for quite a while, and said, "At this point, your Annihilation Association, except for you and the founder Zi Shu, only the one who betrayed, Si Snake, remains, right? It’s truly tragic."
Mao Tu: ...
Before she could respond, Xu Shu suddenly changed the topic: "I presume, Madam Mao, as a key member, you don’t want the Annihilation Association to perish like this, right?"
"Eh... what do you want to do?" Mao Tu stared blankly at Xu Shu.
At least three people have died at your hands, and now you’re bizarrely saying such things? The weasel mourning for a chicken?
Evil villain, simply devastating!
"Heh, as long as you cooperate with me, I’ll ensure the Annihilation Association continues to exist." Xu Shu continued.
"This..."
What’s he implying?
It seems as if... if I don’t cooperate, he’ll make sure the Annihilation Association is completely gone?
That means he’ll even...
Mao Tu’s eyes flickered, as if she sensed a hidden meaning in Xu Shu’s words, but couldn’t completely confirm it immediately.
She took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "...Although the Annihilation Association was founded by Zi Shu, he mainly recruits new members, and everyone is vaguely led by Yin Hu, who is the Executioner and a crucial figure in the Annihilation Association. However, Yin Hu has already been killed by you...so even if we want to continue existing, it would be difficult."
Xu Shu interrupted, "Then it’s simple, I’ll be your Yin Hu, won’t I?"
With that, he smiled slightly, picked up the mask from the ground, cleaned it, and put it on his face.
Swoosh!
In an instant, a cold gaze emanated from the eyeholes of the mask, quietly staring at Mao Tu, filled with killing intent.
"Ah, this~" Mao Tu was startled, all the hairs on her body seemed to stand on end.
This gaze was too familiar, full of viciousness and malice leveling everyone in jest, who else could it be but "Abdominal Yin Tiger"?!
It was exactly like Yin Hu!
No, compared to the previous Yin Hu, the killing intent was even denser, to the extent that it was chilling!
"Hmm? What should you call me now?" Xu Shu said unhappily.
Imitating and adjusting his tone naturally brought a slight change, making it huskier and lower, close to the previous Yin Hu. Although familiar ears would surely feel something was off, it could completely be excused as ’being injured’ and the like.
Mao Tu gaped, feeling disgusted with the undisguised malice radiating from Xu Shu, instinctively stepping back several paces.
After a while, she had a flash of insight, tentatively saying, "Bo...Boss?"
"Kekekekeke~" Xu Shu chuckled contentedly.
Mao Tu was chilled to the bone, watching as Xu Shu casually scooped up a Bronze Lotus Lamp from the already shattered Lotus Pool, extracted the eight pieces of Lotus Platform with "Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, Lake" written on them, and waved a big hand.
"Let’s go! We came a step too late; here at this White Lotus Sect branch, the Lotus Mother was killed!
"But even so, we still have gains, and now it’s time to report back!"
