"Old Xiao, let's do this!" Du Wenzhen excitedly sent a message to Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu nodded. He had the same idea as Du Wenzhen, but how to execute it was the problem.
"How do we fight?"
After pondering for a moment with gritted teeth, Du Wenzhen looked up at Xiao Mu and said, "Old Xiao, you come up with a plan. Don't ask me about this brain-teasing stuff; it gives me a headache."
Xiao Mu mused and didn't take issue with Du Wenzhen.
Together, they were only two people, and the Ghost Servant couldn't help, given it hadn't entered the True Realm yet. If it were targeted, it would die instantly.
The two of them had to face three opponents, one of whom was a mid-stage Yin God Realm powerhouse.
This battle was going to be tough; a single misstep could even mean they would both fall here.
But after pondering for a moment, Xiao Mu had an idea. He messaged Du Wenzhen, "The two of us will join forces to launch a surprise attack on one, striving to kill one before the other two react."
Both of them had cultivated the Earth Escape Technique, which had mutated, making it quicker than the average technique. Concentrating their power on a surprise attack against one of the three Mutated Beings from the Curse Gate held a great chance of success.
However, the target of the sneak attack could not be the mid-stage Yin God Realm powerhouse; the likelihood of a successful surprise attack on him was virtually negligible.
"Then what?" Du Wenzhen's eyes sparkled with excitement as he questioned Xiao Mu.
Clearly, he also thought Xiao Mu's plan was feasible.
Xiao Mu said, "Once we succeed, for the remaining two, one person will handle one each."
Without hesitation, Du Wenzhen said, "You take the mid-stage one."
Xiao Mu gently shook his head, "No, you take the mid-stage one."
Exclaiming, Du Wenzhen said, "Old Xiao, don't endanger me, I can't handle the mid-stage one."
Xiao Mu spoke gravely, "As long as you can hold off the mid-stage one, I can kill the other at the early stage in the shortest time possible. Once I succeed, I can join you in dealing with that mid-stage one."
"Only then will we have a chance of victory."
"If you let me take on the mid-stage, I doubt I can take him down on my own. Could you kill the other early-stage one quickly and come help me?"
Instantly, Du Wenzhen fell silent. Despite the Curse Gate being only at the early stage, he lacked the ability to kill the opponent quickly by himself, not even sure if he could manage a kill at all.
After all, the abilities of the Curse Gate were too peculiar.
Glancing at that mid-stage Variant, Du Wenzhen voiced his worries, "This guy looks very strong; I'm afraid I might not last till you come help after killing the other mid-stage one."
Xiao Mu said, "I can have the Ghost Servant assist you. His Power of Blessing can help you somewhat, making it less likely for you to collapse easily and allowing you to hold out longer against that mid-stage Curse Gate."
"Give it a good thought; this is the only solution I can think of right now. If you don't think it will work, then come up with a better one."
"Damn!"
Du Wenzhen struggled, plainly showing signs of conflict. Following Xiao Mu's arrangement was too risky for him. Faced with a mid-stage Yin God Realm powerhouse, he could easily die at the opponent's hand.
Clearly, Du Wenzhen found it quite challenging to make up his mind.
"You need to decide quickly."
Xiao Mu couldn't help but urge Du Wenzhen, "Those three from the Curse Gate have just dug out the treasures from underground, and they might join the two guarding the gate soon."
"Even without grouping up, as soon as someone calls out to the two guards and they don't respond, our presence will immediately be discovered."
"Damn it, fortune favors the bold; I'm all in!" Du Wenzhen fiercely made the decision, showing a ferocious expression.
"Don't worry. As long as the plan goes smoothly, our chances of success are at least eighty percent," Xiao Mu assured.
But that still left a twenty percent chance of failure.
With a sense of tragic determination, Du Wenzhen was overcome with a deep sense of resignation.
A moment later, sensing that the Ghost Servant had returned, Xiao Mu messaged Du Wenzhen, "Kill that woman first, get ready!"
Du Wenzhen nodded nervously, and Xiao Mu messaged again, "Go!"
The two launched their attacks at once, using the Earth Escape Technique to rush the woman with lightning speed.
"Humans!"
The most powerful among the three from the Curse Gate, the mid-stage Yin God Realm Variant, was the first to notice Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen's approach. His face changed as he roared angrily.
However, that was all he could do; he didn't even have the time to make a move to intercept, or even warn the female Mutated Being from the Curse Gate.
Both Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen, having cultivated the Earth Escape Technique and particularly its mutated form, moved unbelievably quickly.
The mid-stage Yin God Realm Variant had only just shouted, his voice still stuck in his throat and uncarried, when Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen struck simultaneously.
With a wave of his hand, Du Wenzhen's Five Elements divine light transformed into the Five Elements Divine Bell, descending from the sky and trapping the woman from the Curse Gate.
At the same time, Xiao Mu's Five Elements Divine Sword swept directly across the woman's neck.
Spurt!
Xiao Mu decapitated the Curse Gate woman.
Power +1.
"You've accumulated Yin Virtue, Blessed with Good Luck!"
Right at the moment when Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen had leapt out to make their move, the Ghost Servant emerged from the ground, writing golden characters in the air for Du Wenzhen.
With a flash of golden light, Du Wenzhen was enveloped in golden brilliance and received the Blessing.
Having just used the Power of Blessing on Du Wenzhen, the Ghost Servant then burrowed into the ground, fleeing a great distance away.
