Chapter 263: Plot Within a Plot!
"I might not be able to walk out of your flag array, but in return, you shouldn't think about walking out of my Fog Array either." Wu Liang chuckled mischievously.
As soon as he finished speaking, the trendy young man conjured up a strange little voodoo doll in his hand again.
Watching him fiercely stab the doll's arm with a sharp implement, Wu Liang didn't even bother to try to stop him.
Squelch—
The blade pierced the doll's arm.
"Ah!! What did you do!"
But disturbingly, it wasn't Wu Liang who screamed, but the trendy young man holding the doll.
At this moment, a ghastly wound on his arm was bleeding profusely.
"Oh, I recognize this doll. That fake old man used it on me before. Fun feeling the backlash, isn't it?" Wu Liang grinned and approached his opponent.
Seeing him planning to approach his comrades, the members of the Promised Land around them quickly took out their long-hidden supernatural objects to stop Wu Liang's advance.
Soul-breaking Banner, Drunken Dreaming Pen, Bone-Stripping Knife, Brain-Eating Worm, Gut Needle…
All sorts of strange supernatural objects emerged from the Ghost Compendium's list of information.
Wu Liang quickly scanned them all and began to think rapidly about counter-strategies for each supernatural object.
Before the nearest object could harm him, a barely visible blue bird shot out from Wu Liang's chest.
In an instant, one member of the Promised Land screamed as they fell to the ground, charred black.
The Drunken Dreaming Pen in his hand was also completely turned into pitch-black charcoal by the blast.
It was only then that the crowd realized the little blue bird twisted its head and flew back to Wu Liang's shoulder.
"How many lives did you sacrifice to create these things, huh? You guys are really heartless beasts!" Wu Liang couldn't help but lament as he drew out a rusty kitchen knife from thin air.
Before anyone could react, he swung down with the knife.
Crunch—
The haunting wail of the Soul-breaking Banner was abruptly silenced.
Along with it went the life of the member holding the banner.
He stared in disbelief at his waist, desperately trying to shove his spilling intestines back in, but within moments, he had completely lost strength and fell lifeless on the ground.
"Die, you bastard!"
The member holding the Bone-Stripping Knife shouted furiously as he swung down at Wu Liang.
Anything this blade touched, even without causing a wound, would make flesh and bone separate.
If he just managed to strike Monkey once!
Clang—
The Kitchen Knife Ghost clashed with the Bone-Stripping Knife.
One was a City-Destroying level, the other a common supernatural object.
The outcome was obvious.
With a crisp sound, the Bone-Stripping Knife broke into two pieces amidst the screams.
Before the screams could last any longer, a barely noticeable gray-white worm emerged from the ground just a step away from Wu Liang.
This was an extremely vicious supernatural object!
The Brain-Eating Worm could easily break through the skin and burrow into the body, where it would eat its way to the brain and devour the brain matter.
Its mucus could completely paralyze any skin it touched, meaning that once inside your body, you wouldn't notice anything amiss until it began feasting on your brain!
In the blink of an eye, the worm had already crawled onto Wu Liang's leg.
It just needed to bite lightly, burrow into the flesh, and wait for death to come!
Clang—
The Brain-Eating Worm bit down hard, only for Wu Liang's seemingly delicate skin to shatter its teeth.
The entire worm fell limp to the ground, and Wu Liang didn't even look down, crushing it underfoot into pulp.
"Any other tricks? Keep going! Is this all your Pioneer in the Capital has raised you for?"
Hearing Monkey's arrogant words, the Promised Land members looked disheartenedly flustered.
With a body as strong as a Fierce Ghost, wielding invincible weapons, casually setting up restricting Fog Arrays, and even a Thunderbird moving as fast as lightning—
How could this guy be so strong?
"Cough, cough... Monkey, wait a moment! How about we cease fire?" the trendy young man called out, enduring the pain of his arm's injury.
"Heh, a ceasefire? It seems like you're the ones who came looking for trouble. Start a fight when you want, and run when you please? Do you think I'm just a doormat?" Wu Liang said coldly.
In the next second, a sharp blade flew from his hand.
Before the trendy young man realized, another Promised Land member's head was severed, steaming as it rolled across the ground.
"Run! Scatter in different directions! Whoever survives, survives!" The trendy young man finally broke down, shouting the retreat signal to his comrades.
At the same time, his heart was about to burst with excitement!
Success! The Black Swan has been captured!
As Wu Liang killed the man just now, a chain on the young man's wrist emitted a hot temperature—this was a signal of mission success.
For today's operation, he had actually prepared two plans.
Besides their group's pincer attack and night raid plan, there was also a teammate who was best at hiding, positioned near the house.
From the start, he made two preparations—if they couldn't kill Monkey in the house, the plan was to force him out. While they stalled him, an invisible comrade would sneak in to abduct the Black Swan.
After all, they couldn't forget the main advantage of this plan—the Black Swan herself is powerless!
It only took one person to capture her! The rest were just distractions!
Though Monkey had killed one of their comrades and was lurking in their ranks, he unwittingly triggered the second plan.
So, when Monkey admitted his identity and the young man shouted "Start the array," he was signaling his hidden comrade to grab the Black Swan quickly.
Now, the change in the chain's temperature indicated the comrade's success.
This was a plan within a plan!
Now, they just needed to find a way to survive and escape!
......
As he watched the Promised Land members each using their skills to escape, Wu Liang grinned ruthlessly.
"Looks like Luo Fei in the house was finally captured. Good, now it's time for you to die!"
Why did someone like Wu Liang, strong enough to quickly kill a City-Destroying level Awakened like Wu Yeli, play along with these guys who only knew how to use supernatural objects?
It was because he was waiting for them to capture Luo Fei from the cabin!
This was all part of Wu Liang's plan too.
Now that she's been taken.
There's no longer any need to play pretend with these fools!
After all, carrying out tasks requires a price to be paid, so now he must ensure that the Promised Land suffers heavy casualties.
Only this way will they believe the Luo Fei they captured is real…
