Chapter 305

As Liang struggled to run towards that direction, he heard a whistling sound behind him, causing his conscience to tighten. Rolling to one side, an arrow stabbed into the ground right in front of his eyes.

A man with a twisted expression was running towards him with a bow in hand, it was the one whose consciousness had been twisted by Xu Fu.

Liang had experienced that twisted consciousness before, the feeling of not being himself. If not for his hatred allowing him to struggle free, he would have most likely become a puppet with his consciousness twisted.

"This vague sense …" Watching the approaching puppet, Liang could vaguely sense its approach. He could sense the wicked, twisted flesh inside the puppet's body, quite obviously, Xu Fu's hand that had fused into Liang's body had provided him with a sense of the puppet's flesh.

Or rather, this was his reward for resisting the willpower inside. By slightly assimilating Xu Fu's flesh, he obtained this ability to sense Xu Fu.

Taking a deep breath, Liang stood up and used the last of his strength to rush towards the puppet, at the same time trying his best to sense its thoughts.

During this process, Liang's spirit seemed to have achieved a breakthrough. All kinds of distorted images flashed past his mind. He accurately grasped the puppet's thoughts. He lowered his body and threw an uppercut at the puppet's head with all his strength. At the same time, his spiritual will borrowed the power of this punch to hit the puppet's head.

The puppet's body fell back heavily. The distortion of his soul was slightly corrected after that punch. Looking at the tribe that had been set ablaze without him knowing, his expression became absent-minded, and traces of petrification appeared on his face.

"Liang …" the puppet helped Liang up with a pained expression, then handed the bow in his hand to Liang: "I won't be able to hold on for much longer. I can sense that evil willpower still twisting my soul, perhaps I will once again become that monster's puppet. Kill me, then run"

"You were able to temporarily correct my willpower, which means that you can resist Xu Fu, but you are still too weak. Head to the Central tribe and report the tribe's situation, you will be able to obtain greater power there" saying so, the puppet's expression began to distort.

Staring at the person in front of him, Liang once again mustered his strength to grab an arrow and thrust it through the puppet's eye, killing him. His body slowly petrified, then finally turned into dust.

Staggering, Liang ran towards Xu Fu's house, took the stone demon mask from his beast hide bag, then ran outside the tribe.

"Trash." Xu Fu casually broke a soldier's hand, then stabbed his finger into the soldier's neck, leaving a piece of flesh inside.

The puppets whose minds had been twisted stood up one by one. Xu Fu's gaze carried substantial pressure as he sensed the mask's location from afar.

"The rest of you, chase after the ones who escaped and kill them, follow me" Xu Fu ordered, then led the others towards the direction of the mask.

Previously, for the sake of convenience, as well as the fact that his will and soul had just been transformed, he had left the mask at home. However, he did not expect that someone would accidentally fuse with his palm, learn of the existence of the mask, and eventually steal it.

Xu Fu's speed was incredibly fast. After devouring a large amount of flesh and blood, his abilities had also grown stronger and stronger. His skin was now as hard as rock, he seemed to never feel fatigue, his strength was growing stronger and stronger, to the point where he could even sense the power of emotions from the living statues.

Liang's speed was very slow. After all, he was heavily wounded, so Xu Fu quickly caught up to him at the edge of a cliff.

Placing the mask at the edge of the cliff, Liang glared at Xu Fu with eyes full of hatred. It was this person who destroyed them all.

"I must say, Liang, you've once again surpassed my expectations. I feel that you are qualified to become one of my kind. Wear the mask, you shall obtain unparalleled power, as well as a near-eternal lifespan" Xu Fu took a step forward.

Liang immediately shouted: "Stop, I'm not going to become a monster. If you dare to take another step forward, I'll throw the mask down, the river below will carry it far away"

"You want to buy time for your tribe" Although Xu Fu couldn't control the flesh and blood inside Liang's body, he was able to easily see through Liang's thoughts through the flesh and blood they contained. He smiled as he spoke, but didn't stop his steps: "I can sense the other side, no matter where he goes, I will find him again. But you, on the other hand, my patience has its limits"

"Wear the mask and become one of my kind, or be killed by me" Xu Fu approached Liang step by step.

Liang breathed heavily, staring straight at Xu Fu while calculating the distance between them.

Liang truly was a genius. As soon as he noticed that Xu Fu was able to sense his thoughts at such a close distance, he realized that this was an opportunity.

He had already thought of a plan before Xu Fu arrived, then forced himself not to think about it, instead changing it into buying time and allowing his tribe members to escape, using that to numb Xu Fu and confuse his judgment.

As soon as he saw Xu Fu approaching, he jumped down the cliff without hesitation and let go of the mask in his hand.

Xu Fu also jumped down the cliff, grabbing the mask with one hand while piercing Liang's body with the other. At the same time, he kicked out with his leg, which pierced through the cliff like a sharp sword and hung Liang's body on the cliff.

"Idiot, I was just tricking you" Xu Fu smirked triumphantly.

"Me too!" Liang replied, then focused his mind and once again entered that state. Hugging Xu Fu's body, he infused his will into his fists and punched Xu Fu's body.

An ashen white color began to spread from where he was struck.

With the resolve to die, Liang's punch reached its limit, quickly petrifying Xu Fu's body.

"Damn it … I was too careless" Xu Fu sensed his body petrifying. His body became stiff, even his thoughts became rigid.

While he was petrified, some information regarding the stone demon mask flowed into his mind.

He inherited the abilities of the living statues from the stone demon mask, but living statues weren't normal living beings of this timeline. Although Xu Fu could use them with his flesh and blood, as soon as the willpower inside his flesh and blood was broken, the essence of the statue would be discovered by the world. Because he couldn't adapt to this world, he would turn into an immobile statue.

Only when his flesh and blood once again covered him would he be able to regain his flesh and blood body.

After understanding this information, over half of Xu Fu's body was already petrified. Because he couldn't exert any more force on his feet, his body began to fall downwards.

Taking this final chance, Xu Fu issued a final order to his puppets through his will: "Find me, use my enemy's flesh and blood to awaken me"

Liang closed his eyes and fell towards the bottom of the cliff together with Xu Fu's statue. The rushing river would drag them into the ocean, where they would sink forever.

With a flash of light, a phone booth that definitely didn't belong to this era appeared.

A mechanical hand reached out from inside to grab Liang, while Xu Fu's statue continued to fall with the mask in hand, his petrified eyes staring straight at Liang.
