Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 617 Zhang Xiao: Captain, I can't tell them apart, I really can't tell them apart!
Cheng Xiao's heart suddenly stopped beating, as if a giant hammer had smashed into his forehead, almost causing him to explode with shock.

He quickly turned around, only to see the expressionless bespectacled man sitting on a stool in place of Uesugi Hara, flipping through a report in his hand, saying without looking up, "You've disappointed me too much, Cheng Xiao."

Cheng Xiao's face turned deathly pale, and he staggered back a few steps: "Chu Xuan... how could you possibly be you?"

"you are not--"

Cheng Xiao's mind was in complete chaos.

He could hardly imagine why Chu Xuan would be here.

Moreover, Chu Xuan was clearly in a state of mental impairment, so how did he recover now?
Could it be that everything was a setup targeting me?!
Cheng Xiao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and even his breathing became very weak.

"I originally thought that even if you couldn't understand the layout, you wouldn't be a burden."

"But I never expected you to be so stupid!"

"What a fool who should be in a museum!"

Chu Xuan slightly raised his head and adjusted his glasses: "In this setup, your performance is a 9 out of 10..."

"By the way, the full score is 100 points."

At this moment, Wang Xia walked out from the corner, looking down at Cheng Xiao with some embarrassment.

"Wang Xia, you're not dead?" Cheng Xiao suddenly collapsed to the ground, pointing tremblingly at Chu Xuan.

"It was you, you did it?"

Is this your plan?

"You threw me into this world?"

The three questions were all rather unimpressive, and he even turned pale, not daring to look Chu Xuan in the eye.

“Some things are already done, so there’s no need to review them.” Chu Xuan threw away the report.

"With your brain that's as stupid as an African gorilla, you simply can't see how much effort I put into this."

"Your useless emotions will only hinder Zhongzhou Team's victory."

"You are no longer of any value."

"I think it's more worthwhile to give you up than to nurture you."

Cheng Xiao felt increasingly cold as he listened, as if he were being swallowed by icy seawater, and his whole body trembled.

He had lost much of his anger, and was now only gripped by a primal fear of Chu Xuan.

It is the fear accumulated from so many worlds and etched into our genes.

"Now we should be thinking about how to minimize the losses you've caused." Chu Xuan seemed to be calculating how it would be more cost-effective to dissect Cheng Xiao and use him as experimental material.

Cheng Xiao was frantic: "Chu Xuan!"

"Listen to my explanation!"

"No need to say anything more." Chu Xuan stood up, and his mere presence caused Cheng Xiao to fall to the ground.

"Cheng Xiao, you are not qualified."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao's face turned ashen: "No...no!"

"I am innocent. I did nothing."

But Chu Xuan sneered, "Do I need to remind you what you've done?"

“Since the Lord of the Rings, I have been recording the actions of all of you…”

“What everyone did, and what everyone didn’t do,” Chu Xuan pointed to his head.

"Don't try to interfere with the truth with words; that's the least effective way."

Cheng Xiao opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

The slight resentment he had felt at being schemed against had vanished completely, leaving only one thought in his mind.

This is really the end!

Chu Xuan is threatening to take revenge!

There are three things about the Zhongzhou team that you shouldn't mess with.

The first rule is that you must never let Chu Xuan hold a grudge against you. If Chu Xuan writes it down in his little notebook, it's even more terrifying than being recorded in the Death Note.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but recall that he seemed to have become somewhat arrogant after Chu Xuan's brain damage.

On the first day of his return, Cheng Xiao suggested killing Chu Xuan to save reward points; on the third day, Cheng Xiao said that Chu Xuan had become cerebral palsy... As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Cheng Xiao's face became even paler. The last bit of lingering resentment of his former inner demons had been completely suppressed and worn away by his fear of Chu Xuan.

Desire, status, revenge.

Under Chu Xuan's intimidation, they all became insignificant.

Only the most basic emotions survive in Chu Xuan's hands!

"Chu Xuan, I was wrong!" Cheng Xiao lowered his head. "Please forgive me!"

"I don't dare anymore!"

"Wang Xia, please say something for me!"

There was no response.

Cheng Xiao instinctively sensed something was wrong and abruptly raised his head.

There was no sign of Chu Xuan.

Uesugi Hara also stood still, looking at him with a half-smile.

"So your inner demon is Chu Xuan."

"What an interesting reaction!"

"What?!" Cheng Xiao stumbled back a few steps.

"You, no, I—"

"I've already killed you!!"

"Impossible, where is Chu Xuan?"

"Where did Chu Xuan go?!"

"You must be lying to me!"

"Hahahaha, you're all fake, all fake!!!" Cheng Xiao stammered, clutching his head.

He felt as if his head was being ripped open, and he was dizzy and could only lower his head as he heard footsteps slowly approaching.

"What are you doing again?!" It was still Chu Xuan's cold voice.

"Ah!!" Cheng Xiao let out a shrill scream and scrambled backward.

"I was wrong!"

"Stop torturing me!"

He waved his hands wildly, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Cheng Xiao?" Another very familiar voice rang out.

Cheng Xiao slowly raised his head, only to find Zhuang Boshi standing in front of him.

"Team Captain"

Wang Xia, standing next to him, seemed startled: "Cheng Xiao, what are you talking about? There's no captain here!"

"Wang Xia, what are you saying!" Cheng Xiao pointed ahead in shock: "Isn't the captain right here?"

Zhuang Boshi looked to the side with a puzzled expression.

"Cheng Xiao, who are you talking to? Where is Wang Xia? I'm the one who needs to ask you that!"

"What?! Wang Xia is right in front of you!!" Cheng Xiao was about to faint.

"Cheng Xiao, are you crazy? The captain isn't in this world."

Wang Xia stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Hurry, come with me!"

At this moment, Zhuang Boshi also extended his hand: "Cheng Xiao, this place is not safe to stay for long, let's leave quickly."

Upon seeing those two hands, Cheng Xiao suddenly broke down and screamed, "I can't tell them apart!"

"I really can't tell the difference!!"

"Please let me go!!"

"I was lying to you," Chu Xuan's voice rang out from behind.

I wish I were dreaming.

The thought lingered in Cheng Xiao's mind for only a second before he fell into a coma. All the energy in his body was instantly drained, leaving him completely exhausted.

Wang Xia and Zhuang Boshi exchanged a glance.

"Doctor, isn't this too much of a blow?" Wang Xia asked with some concern.

Just now, Zhuang Boshi appeared and notified Wang Xia to cooperate in the performance, and Wang Xia lived up to expectations and completed his script very well.

Furthermore, both disappointment and compassion are expressed with a strong sense of conviction, and the final gift is the finishing touch.

This directly led Cheng Xiao to overcome his inner demons.

He is far superior to Luo Gandao and Luo Yinglong, those two brilliant talents.

Zhuang Boshi never expected that Wang Xia would have such good acting skills.

The Zhongzhou team produces actors.

First came Zhang Jie, now comes Wang Xia.

"Won't he turn to the dark side if we hit him like this?" Wang Xia asked worriedly.

Zhuang Boshi calmly said, "In chaotic times, harsh measures are needed; for serious illnesses, strong medicine is required."

"His inner demons are deep in his bones, and he must undergo painful treatment to survive."

"Besides, considering all the awful things he's done, this lesson is too lenient on him!"

Zhuang Boshi picked up Cheng Xiao and sensed his condition. It was much better than before, at least his genes had stabilized considerably.

It seems that the most difficult hurdle of inner demons has been overcome.

"Let's go somewhere else." When Cheng Xiao opened his eyes again, he saw Wang Xia warming himself by the fire in the house, and an unexpected person was also sitting in front of the fire.

Uesugi Hara.

Why is it him? !
Wang Xia was still covered in injuries, but he was in much better condition than before.

"What exactly happened?" Cheng Xiao asked dryly.

"Still haven't figured it out?"

Uesugi Hara rubbed his face, then raised his head. His sky-blue pupils and the slightly open divine eye between his brows startled Cheng Xiao.

Then, with another kneading, it transformed into Chu Xuan's poker face.

With one last knead, it transformed back into Uesugi Hara's appearance.

"Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques!"

"Captain... Captain, you..." Cheng Xiao's expression changed rapidly as he realized everything.

The so-called top expert of the East Sea Team, Uesugi Haru; the so-called killing Wang Xia and dismembering his body for Deadpool to devour; the so-called Wang Xia's soul bestowing upon him a golden elixir, allowing him to awaken anew; the so-called scheme set up by Chu Xuan...

"So it was all your doing!" Cheng Xiao's anger flared up.

"sit down!"

As Cheng Xiao became agitated, Zhuang Boshi gave a sharp shout.

Cheng Xiao shuddered and obediently sat back down.

"Do you know what you've done these past three months, Cheng Xiao!" Zhuang Boshi's icy gaze fell upon Cheng Xiao, instantly extinguishing the latter's anger and replacing it with a deep-seated fear.

Cheng Xiao said tremblingly, "I...I didn't do that, it was all my inner demons!"

Zhuang Boshi looked at him coldly: "Putting everything on your inner demons?"

"It seems you still haven't overcome your inner demons. Do you need me to treat you again?"

Cheng Xiao's face turned pale: "No, no, Captain..."

He wanted to say something, but seeing Zhuang Boshi's oppressive gaze, he could only lower his head again.

"I did it. I'm sorry to Wang Xia, I'm sorry to everyone."

Zhuang Boshi took a deep breath and began to berate him: "In a time of crisis, you actually resorted to a stupid method, trying to seize Godzilla's essence by incorporating its flesh and blood. I really don't know what you were thinking."

"Have I ever said that the purer the genes in one's body, the easier it is to break through to the fourth tier?"

"Neither your internal energy nor the Golden Silkworm Gu has caused significant changes to your genes. If you calm down and don't rush things, you might have a chance to break through directly, and even your inner demons won't be so severe."

"You almost killed your teammates and destroyed the world because you were too eager to succeed."

"Also, opening a silver plate in front of so many people tarnishes the reputation of the Zhongzhou team."

"Tell me properly, have I been too strict with you, or are you just going through a rebellious phase?"

After being bombarded with insults, Cheng Xiao cowered on the ground like a quail, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

At this moment, Wang Xia stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, Doctor, Cheng Xiao was just anxious."

“No matter how anxious you are, you can’t do this. If I had come back any later, no one could have saved him. If I hadn’t broken his inner demons back then, even if I had resurrected you after you died, he would still be a ticking time bomb.”

"And don't forget, you two have already been resurrected once."

Cheng Xiao said weakly, "Then... what else can I do?"

Zhuang Boshi was about to get angry again, but Cheng Xiao quickly hid in a corner.

Wang Xia immediately grabbed him: "Okay, Doctor, please don't."

Zhuang Boshi raised his hand angrily and sat back down.

"Tell me, how's your inner demon doing now?"

“I’ve used every method I could think of for you, including stimulation therapy, reversal therapy, and hallucination therapy.”

"If you lose control again, there's nothing I can do but send you to your death."

Cheng Xiao saw Zhuang Boshi's cold eyes and knew he wasn't joking.

Cheng Xiao immediately stood up and said with a fawning expression, "I'm basically fine."

“What do you mean by ‘basic’?” Zhuang Boshi frowned.

"Is it there or not?"

Cheng Xiao said with a bitter face, "I didn't try to mend my mind as you said, Doctor. Instead, I forcibly broke down my mental defenses and then used my willpower to suppress my inner demons."

"This should be the way you, Doctor, proved the Way through force, but I'm still just a little bit short."

"Captain, give me ten days, I can do it in ten days..."

"If you haven't awakened the Light of the Soul in ten days, you'll be the first one I deal with!" Zhuang Boshi said irritably.

Cheng Xiao nodded vigorously: "I guarantee to complete the mission! I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Zhuang Boshi snorted coldly: "Where exactly did Song Tian go?"

Cheng Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Song Tian... he should still be in the Mariana Trench."

"I wrapped him in the flesh and blood of an entire Godzilla, allowing Godzilla cells to invade his body."

"He may have encountered the same problem as me."

Cheng Xiao recounted how he tricked Song Tian into practicing demonic arts, triggering his inner demons, and then delayed the final battle, devouring the flesh and blood of other death servants to forcibly break through to the fourth rank.

After Song Tian realized something was wrong, the two had a big battle on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

Cheng Xiao was no match for Song Tian. After all, Cheng Xiao had just entered the fourth stage and his cells were in chaos, making it difficult for him to even maintain his will.

However, Song Tian converted some of his internal energy into demonic techniques, causing his condition to decline significantly, resulting in the two fighting to a standstill.

Later, Cheng Xiao used the Godzilla flesh that he had laid in advance to invade Song Tian, ​​break his internal energy balance, and control him to fall into the deep sea. It has been more than three months since then.

However, since there was no negative score notification, it's clear that Song Tian is still alive.

"Doctor, and I reckon he's already broken through the fourth level," Cheng Xiao said cautiously.

"Given Song Tian's talent, I'll offer him a crooked path of first destroying and then building, which might just solve his problem."

Song Tian cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness. Since he is ruthless, he will not have inner demons. Since inner demons have never been born, how can he overcome them?
Therefore, Song Tian was stuck at the fourth-level initial stage of the Great Perfection, in an endless cycle, unable to break through no matter what he did.

He could only continuously accumulate internal strength and practice swordsmanship, but at his level, the path of swordsmanship became narrower and narrower, which is why he said, "There is no road ahead of me."

Cheng Xiao's method of destroying the old and then rebuilding, and his unorthodox practice of the Nine Yin Manual, could very well disrupt Song Tian's stable state.

Since there is no inner demon, we will forcibly cultivate one. As long as Song Tian can eliminate the inner demon, he will naturally be able to enter the fourth tier.

It just so happens that this world has a Godzilla with a frenzied will. Song Tian practiced demonic arts, and Cheng Xiao used Godzilla's flesh and blood to erode him, completely creating a blessed land.

"This is troublesome," Zhuang Boshi said, rubbing his face.

If Song Tian is still only at the initial stage of the fourth level.

No matter how skilled he is with his sword, Zhuang Boshi can defeat him.

But now Song Tian has likely entered the fourth stage and awakened the Light of the Mind.

In addition, Zhuang Boshi is currently in a very poor state and can only use the power of the Nascent Soul to deal with Cheng Xiao, a half-baked fourth-tier cultivator, while dealing with Song Tian, ​​a reincarnator who has survived by putting himself in a desperate situation and has accumulated strength for a future breakthrough.

That would be a bit troublesome.

Cheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain, I'm now almost at the peak of the fourth rank, nearing the middle of the fourth rank."

"With you here, what do I have to fear? I wouldn't be afraid even if two more Song Tians came."

Zhuang Boshi looked helpless, then left Uesugi Hara's body, turning into half a corpse.

Cheng Xiao looked surprised: "Captain, what's going on...?"

Boshi Zhuang transformed into a wisp of black mist and returned to Uesugi Hara.

"Did you think I didn't want to just pin you down and beat you up before?"

"I'm going to play along with this whole thing!"

"While you were playing with women, I had already gone through four worlds and was ambushed by a saint, losing half of my body. Even my fourth-order regenerative power reversal technique could only barely maintain this state."

"If Song Tian reaches the fourth tier, you expect me to fight him in this state?"

"A sage?!" Cheng Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

"There are even saints here?!"

Zhuang Boshi then told Wang Xia and Cheng Xiao about his previous conjectures regarding the world's script and Adam's schemes.

The two realized the problem and their expressions became very serious.

"Right now, the most crucial thing is how to deal with Song Tian and how to leave this world!"

"I had some ideas about how to leave, but Song Tian has already taken over Godzilla's flesh and blood. If we want to leave, we will probably have to go find Song Tian."

"In the end, we still have to beat Song Tiancai!" Zhuang Boshi looked at him coldly.

Cheng Xiao quickly replied, "Don't worry, leave Song Tian to me!"

Zhuang Boshi coldly retorted, "You think you can beat me?"

Cheng Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed.

He still needs some time to completely eradicate his inner demons, but if Song Tian appears now, there is no doubt that a fourth-tier cultivator has no chance of winning against a fourth-tier beginner at the Great Perfection stage.

"Doctor, why don't you possess me and we'll fight together?"

Zhuang Boshi shook his head: "What we need to consider now is not how to defeat Song Tian, ​​but how to leave this world."

"In my current state, even if I possess your body, I can only suppress Song Tian by a small margin at most. I don't want to do something so uncertain."

"After all, what is Song Tian's spiritual light, and whether it can restrain me, are still unknown."

"If we rashly fight him, it's fine if we win, but if we end up with neither victory nor defeat, the three of us will be doomed if we get dragged here."

If Zhuang Boshi were in his full potential, he would naturally not be afraid of Song Tian.

Following the path of martial arts, regardless of energy or the six-dimensional attributes, one's abilities are merely average, making it not a particularly powerful profession.

Moreover, Song Tian could not possibly evolve into a being from the Primordial Era on the spot.

But Zhuang Boshi is currently in a semi-crippled state, only equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.

"So, we need to come up with a plan."
