I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 238 - 234 Plan Begins
Chapter 238: Chapter 234 Plan Begins Chapter 238 -234 Plan Begins Following Tom’s plan, Fang Xiaocao immediately sent a message to Taotie.
[Fang Xiaocao: Prepare to ambush Capricorn, do not participate to avoid exposure. Just find a way to shake Capricorn off. Tom and Hummingbird will handle the ambush.]
Taotie, who was circling around with Capricorn, received Fang Xiaocao’s message, at first stunned, then excitement flashed in his eyes.
“Princess Your Highness, finally ready to make a move on the crazy woman, it’s about time we finished off this lunatic.”
Taotie muttered to himself, his expression somewhat forlorn.
“It’s a pity…”
“Princess Your Highness, I’m not allowed to participate…”
Taotie grumbled, shared his location with his terminal to Fang Xiaocao, and started to make preparations to lose Capricorn and create enough distance.
Upon receiving the location shared by Taotie, Fang Xiaocao turned to Tom: “Taotie has shared his location, ready to move.”
Tom nodded: “Yes!”
“Let’s go to this location and wait for Capricorn.”
After some analysis on the map, and considering Taotie’s unpredictable movements, Tom pointed to a spot and said to Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, fully trusting Tom’s abilities, naturally she had no objections.
Hummingbird did not express any opinions, still maintaining a cold expression, holding her katana, ready to follow Fang Xiaocao’s arrangements.
“Once we get to this position, to further reduce the chance of Taotie being exposed, Princess, use your Flying Dagger to launch a sneak attack on Taotie and then run away. Taotie will pursue you, taking the opportunity to escape the battlefield while Hummingbird and I will come out and launch the ambush on Capricorn.”
Tom continued to refine the plan to ambush Capricorn.
Fang Xiaocao nodded, thinking that Tom’s plan was flawless, at least she could not see any weak points.
Even if someone were to suspect them, there would be no evidence.
Taotie would just be pursuing the person who attacked him, and no one could blame him for not helping. Unless they could prove that Taotie was in league with them, but such an investigation would be extremely dangerous in itself.
Moreover, they had Tom on their side.
Even for a master of the same level as Tom and Taotie, undertaking such a mission would be as difficult as Hell, with a great risk of dying accidentally.
High-level masters are rarely so idle as to take on such thankless tasks.
With the plan finalized, the trio of Fang Xiaocao set off immediately.
It took ten minutes to reach the ambush site.
Fang Xiaocao pulled out her communicator and sent a message to Taotie.
[Fang Xiaocao: Get ready to move, take this route forward until you reach our ambush point. I will launch a sneak attack on you and you will chase after me, leaving the rest to Tom and Hummingbird.]
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s message, Taotie blinked.
He thought it sounded quite fun.
Chasing after Princess Your Highness, how thrilling!
[Taotie: Received!]
Taotie sent back a message and immediately took action.
Turning his head to glance at Capricorn stealthily following him, Taotie let out a cold laugh.
“Crazy woman, prepare to die!”
Taotie murmured to himself and promptly changed direction.
Seeing Taotie suddenly accelerate, Capricorn was taken aback.
Immediately, she quickened her pace too.
Capricorn felt that she was about to discover a secret of Taotie’s, and if luck was on her side, that secret could become her leverage against him.
What Capricorn did not know was that she was heading down a road of no return, a path where she might lose her life.
Fang Xiaocao, lying in wait under the trees, saw Taotie’s tall figure enter her field of vision, pulled out several Steel Nails, gripping them in her hand, ready to strike Taotie as soon as he came into range.
Fang Xiaocao held her breath and focused, regulating her breathing.
She was getting into an optimal state, aiming to execute a dazzling Hidden Weapon strike.
After all, to play the part convincingly…
It had to be realistic enough!
Considering her current level of Skill Power, it would be difficult to injure Taotie.
There was no need to hold back!
As Taotie closed in, Fang Xiaocao suddenly flung the seven Steel Nails from her hand.
Launching seven at once was her limit.
If she had used flying daggers instead, she could at most have fired four.
The Steel Nails increased Fang Xiaocao’s power with Hidden Weapons.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Seven steel nails shot through the air.
Their piercing sound echoed through the quiet forest.
Taotie had no idea that this was the ambush site arranged by Fang Xiaocao and her crew.
Upon suddenly seeing the seven steel nails, Taotie was startled and inwardly marveled at how he had underestimated the Princess’s Skill Power in the past.
With just this technique, Seven Stars Shooting, Fang Xiaocao would already rank among the masters of hidden weapons.
Capricorn, who had been following Taotie, was also dumbfounded upon seeing him attacked so unexpectedly.
What’s happening?
Why is Taotie under attack?
Wasn’t he here for a rendezvous?
Capricorn was utterly confused but soon felt a surge of excitement.
It wasn’t often that someone would assassinate Taotie.
And so, Capricorn was certainly excited.
She was just shy of jumping out and applauding then and there.
Don’t get it wrong, Capricorn wasn’t cheering for Taotie.
She was rooting for the assassin trying to kill Taotie.
Faced with the seven swiftly approaching steel nails, Taotie, despite being shocked by Fang Xiaocao’s hidden weapon expertise, was not afraid and immediately drew his Mountain Splitter Dagger from his waist.
Swinging the Mountain Splitter Dagger repeatedly, he deflected six of the steel nails, but one nail embedded itself into Taotie’s arm, piercing three inches deep, and blood splattered in an instant.
At this scene, Fang Xiaocao gasped in surprise.
No way?
How did I actually hit him?
This doesn’t make sense!
Just now, Taotie clearly had a chance to dodge it!
With Taotie hit, Fang Xiaocao was utterly stunned.
Little did Xiaocao know that Taotie had done it intentionally.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
It was to create the illusion that Xiaocao was a master, even selecting the location of the wound carefully so as not to hinder his movements.
Seeing Taotie injured, Capricorn too was shocked still.
The opponent’s hidden weapon skill is so strong?
They actually managed to injure Taotie!
Lucky me!
This is a real master!
Taotie had his back to Capricorn, who only saw the injury but missed the details, naturally unaware that Taotie had been deliberately hurt.
“Princess Your Highness, run!”
Seeing Xiaocao in a daze, Tom immediately reminded her through the earpiece that now was not the time to zone out.
Snapped back by Tom’s reminder, Xiaocao mustered all her strength and turned to flee.
Capricorn hadn’t seen that Taotie’s injury was staged, but Tom had, and he knew that Taotie was adding his own dramatic flair.
Seeing Xiaocao following the script and making her escape, Taotie heaved a sigh of relief; if Xiaocao had continued to daze, he wouldn’t have known how to improvise the next part of their play.
“Scoundrel, where do you think you’re running to!”
Taotie bellowed and gave chase with his dagger drawn.
All the while yelling, as if all his power came from his voice.
“This is interesting!”
“Taotie actually got injured!”
Capricorn muttered with a hint of fascination.
She promptly emerged from her hiding spot,
eager to see how the spectacle would unfold.
The next second!
Capricorn froze in place.
She felt like she was being targeted by a killing intent.
