Hu Yunsheng said, "So you only set up one backup plan? And they dismantled it?"
Guo Jiuxiao snapped, "Old Hu, we're inside the Safe Zone! A slightly thicker vine could punch through the air-defense glass! How many backup plans do you think I could set up?"
"Besides, the more complicated a plan is, the more likely it is to go wrong."
"Your plan was simple enough. It still went wrong, didn't it?"
Guo Jiuxiao stopped arguing and drew a deep breath. "You can never underestimate Li Tianming. Give him an opening, and he'll stir up trouble."
"I really shouldn't have come here in this form. It's too late for regrets now."
"This was my oversight. I'll make it up to you once we get back."
"We'll talk about getting back later. Deal with what's in front of us first."
Hu Yunsheng watched Li Tianming warily and said to Guo Jiuxiao, "I'll hold Li Tianming off. Go help Xu He at the house. I reckon Zhang Kuang is there. You're only sequence level five out here, but once you're inside the house, you should be invincible, right?"
"Of course. Ma Shi and I built that house bit by bit. What do you have in mind, Old Hu?"
Hu Yunsheng nodded. "Then go into the house and stop Zhang Kuang. Free Xu He up so he can help me capture Li Tianming."
"I'm injured. I don't even know if I can beat Li Tianming, let alone take him alive."
Guo Jiuxiao's eyes lit up. "Your combat experience really shows! Got it. Be careful, Old Hu."
"Oh, and Guo, if you can't save Ye Hongqing, smash her head in. Don't leave a threat behind."
"Don't worry. I know."
Hu Yunsheng vanished and reappeared opposite Li Tianming, placing himself between him and Guo Jiuxiao.
