Jia Xu really was full of dirty tricks.
Although Zhang Xiu had already agreed to join Liu Bei, Jia Xu said there was no hurry. Surrendering now, issuing a world announcement, and openly opposing Cao Cao would be asking for death.
The best approach was to lie low and set an ambush. They could stab Boss Cao in the ass when the critical moment came.
Chen Feng showered him with praise after hearing this. Someone who had studied abroad in Cihang City really was different!
Afterward, Chen Feng and Jia Xu picked out two fine horses and headed for Xuzhou.
On the road.
The two discussed killing Cao Cao.
Jia Xu sighed. "A limited skill can only be used once in a lifetime. If General Zhang Xiu and I still had ours, this would be simple. But now it's a problem."
[Jia Xu's limited skill: Chaos Dance. Anyone affected by this skill dies if they fail to kill a living creature within ten seconds.] [Zhang Xiu's limited skill: Heroic Chaos. Zhang Xiu locks onto one enemy at the cost of never being able to use weapons again. While locked on, the target cannot attack, defend, or use healing skills. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiu's attacks against that target have sure hit, and his skills have no cooldown.]
Cao Cao's blessings all required him to be injured before they triggered, making Absolute Kill and Heroic Chaos perfect counters.
Unfortunately, Jia Xu had used his ultimate back in the Third Year of Chuping, while General Zhang Xiu had lost his limited skill two years ago, in the Second Year of Jian'an.
Jia Xu shrugged. "You came too late."
Chen Feng immediately forgot everything they had done for him. "Then what the hell are you good for? Useless people deserve death!"
Jia Xu
