"As expected, the Cursed Mage faction is a trap. All the characters on our side are old hands with no strength. In the end, we still have to fight Gojo Satoru. I almost joined the Cursed Mage faction..."

The sinister man, who had been silent all along, suddenly showed a ferocious expression, looking somewhat exasperated.

Ice Scorpion quietly watched the complaining crowd. He didn't choose to boost morale; this situation was already quite good.

Now everyone is in the same boat; to return, we must kill the contractors of the sorcerer faction.

The surge in the combat power of the sorcerer faction has led to a major change in the plot. Ryosaku takes the initiative to seek cooperation with Natsuyuu, who is responsible for holding off Gojo Satoru.

The objective was clear: Xia Youjie's body. However, the circumstances had changed so drastically that they had no choice but to take action.

If it weren't for the fact that he learned from Ryosaku that the contractors from the sorcerer faction were also with Gojo Satoru,

They might not accept this mission that seems like a suicide mission.

Unfortunately, that contractor was too troublesome. We had to be decisive. If we didn't take advantage of the opportunity when the Cursed Master faction—with all its high-end combat power mobilized—to encircle and annihilate them, we would hardly have such a good opportunity again. After all, danger is accompanied by opportunity.

The division of labor was clear: Lu Suo and the cursed spirits were responsible for Gojo Satoru, while the rest of them would cooperate with the curse masters to deal with the remaining targets, and could take them hostage if necessary.

This means that the two tasks can be done simultaneously. Of course, the primary goal is the main quest to gain the qualification to return, and then the side quests.

"They're here."

At this moment, the young man who had been watching the computer spoke up to remind him. By zooming in on the surveillance footage, he could clearly see the face of the driver, Kiyotaka Ijichi, a member of Gojo Satoru's crew, who was easily recognizable.

Upon hearing this, Ice Scorpion immediately stood up and began to give instructions in an orderly manner:

"Ona, get ready."

The woman in tight-fitting clothes, who was wiping a heavy sniper rifle as tall as a person, nodded, walked to the edge of the cliff, lay down, set up the gun, and adjusted the sights. This position was the best firing position with the highest elevation and widest field of vision among the surrounding mountains. Through a high-powered telescope, she could overlook the highway that stretched for several kilometers.

The maximum support distance can reach more than two thousand meters.

"Hacker, notify the bounty hunters, we're on our way."

"Giant shields and heavy axes, once Ona fires the first shot, immediately hold off that contractor. Mages, provide firepower; supports, apply buffs in advance; everyone else..."

Tread...  

"It seems everyone is well prepared."

From the dark jungle behind, a woman's voice rang out, her tone full of admiration. Accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, Ice Scorpion gave the final command before frowning and looking over.

He recognized the voice; it was Lu Suo.

Soon, Lu Suo's figure was revealed to everyone. She was a woman with short black hair, a stitched scar on her forehead, wearing a black casual outfit, and had a beautiful face.

"You guys continue, don't worry about me. We'll hold off Gojo Satoru, so don't fret."

Lu Suo smiled, waved his hand in acknowledgment, and then walked towards the edge of the cliff.

Behind him, Louhu, Tuogen, and Huayu walked out one after another, and for a moment, immense pressure was placed on all the contractors present.

Even knowing that this was their own leader, a high-level combatant, no one dared to gamble on how much integrity a scheming old fox who had plotted for a thousand years and committed all sorts of evil deeds could possibly have.

It's not impossible that these people were used as cover for the retreat.

The one under the most pressure right now is Ona, who is holding the sniper rifle. She is completely different from her previous calm and collected demeanor.

Standing beside him was the world's biggest villain, along with three top-tier cursed spirits whose affinity for humans was -100%. It would be impossible not to be afraid.

Glug...

The sound of swallowing was particularly jarring in the quiet atmosphere, causing Lu Suo and the three cursed spirits to instinctively look over.

"Ha~ha."

Ona forced a smile, the pressure mounting, and her expression turned more like a grimace.

"I'm a little nervous, sorry."

……

At the same time, Gojo Satoru, sitting in the car, seemed to sense something, his expression shifted, and he joked:

"Interesting. Although the circumstances are somewhat different, the result is the same."

"You're here."

Fang Yu, moved by what he saw, glanced at a certain high place.

Whoosh... Boom...

next second.

The sound of a bullet whizzing through the air rang out, and after hitting the car's fuel tank, it exploded violently. In just an instant, the car turned into a moving wrecked torch, constantly overturning and rolling, scattering large amounts of debris and parts along its path, until it finally stopped after a distance of over a hundred meters.

Fang stood calmly in the middle of the road. Before the bullet hit the car, he used his shoulder to smash the door open. Even with the vehicle traveling at high speed, he managed to absorb the enormous impact upon landing.

Then, he noticed that Gojo Satoru was missing. After scanning the surroundings, he roughly guessed that he must have sent Ijichi Kiyotaka to a safe place first.

"ah!!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the roadside jungle, and then a burly man wielding a double-edged axe rushed out. In less than a second, he was in front of Fang Yu, raised his battle axe high, and slashed down hard.

[You are under the control effect of "Taunt," and your willpower is being assessed.]

[Assessment passed; you are now immune to this round of control.]

[You are under the control effect of "Bewitching," and your charm is being assessed.]

[Judgment passed; you will only suffer a 1% chance of being immobilized by this skill.]

[You are under the control effect of "Mental Binding," intelligence is being assessed.]

Your skill "Return to Origin Mastery" is activated, granting you immunity to mental control effects triggered by up to 40 points of Intelligence.

You have been affected by...

……

bite…….

Fang Yu held the knife in one hand and steadily blocked the oncoming battle axe. Numerous control skills, after being immune or reduced in various ways, could not even cause him half a second of control effect.

"Holy crap!"

"Damn it!"

The people waiting for their chance in the back saw this scene and immediately started cursing. Ice Scorpion's eyes widened instantly. He didn't know how others' skills were, but how could he not know his own?

He has a single-attribute intelligence development, with his intelligence at 31 points. His "Mental Binding" is an extreme and direct immobilization effect. Even if someone's intelligence is 5 points higher than his, they will be controlled for at least 2 seconds.

And now someone is telling him that this person, who can single-handedly block a warrior's forceful splitting of Mount Hua, has an intelligence score of over 36? Are you kidding me?

"Damn it... Ah!!"

Heavy Axe's stubble-covered face turned red as he roared, the veins on his hands bulging as he tried to bend the not-so-thick arms. However, it was clear to anyone with eyes that the two were far apart in strength.

Not everyone is like Ice Scorpion, with such high attribute points.

Fortunately, the giant shield followed closely behind him, charging up from behind like a chariot.

bang bang bang...

His entire body was covered in heavy armor, and with the huge iron shield, every step he took seemed to contain the force of a thousand pounds.

Seeing this, Fang Yu exerted a little force with his arm, cleaving the burly man wielding the battle axe away. Then, he kicked the shield that rushed in front of him with a loud thud. The huge force caused a small, visible shockwave to form the moment the two made contact, sweeping up dust and spreading several meters away.

"ha???."

Fang Yu took two steps back, while the giant shield retreated five steps before stopping. His tone was filled with shock and disbelief. Could someone tell him why his "Charging Shield Bash" had been kicked back? He had charged over a hundred meters, already reaching the maximum double charge damage. What a joke!
