Elemental Card King.

Chapter 135 Three Ups and Downs, Twists and Turns, Finally Victory
Judging from the past match rhythm of this Undead Singer, his own talent and four highly synergistic contract cards are enough to make his opponents want to cry and have no chance to fight back.

at the moment.

Su Chen swiftly and powerfully broke the deadlock, using a superb elemental summoning card and exquisite mental control to instantly turn the tide of the battle.

No matter how you look at it, in this ultimate showdown between the first righteous law and the first evil law, the Legion of Light and the army of the undead Scourge, Su Chen has already gained the upper hand.

"Card Master battles are a process of responding to each other's moves, and now it's Qi Hanhai's turn to break the deadlock."

"I'm guessing it's most likely Corpse Explosion."

"Indeed, it's highly likely. Su Chen is clearly starting to move away from the pile of corpses. He shouldn't hold back anymore, he should just attack."

The audience was also discussing it.

The construction of the Undead Skeleton deck is somewhat varied but still follows the same basic principle: a swarm of skeletons can conceal a card like Corpse Explosion, which is considered a standard construction.

of course.

Most of the players, who were engrossed in watching, didn't realize it at first. It was only when Su Chen suddenly retreated, making his tactical intention to get away from the pile of corpses all too obvious, that they were all jolted awake.

But that's it.
"Huh, what's going on?" Gao Mingxuan, who had just been cheering wildly, was completely confused.

How did things start to turn around when things were going so well?

"Stop yelling, we need to prevent the corpse explosion spell." Vice President Li rubbed his left ear. This hot-blooded young man's voice was unusually loud. He was already a little irritable, and now he was even more inexplicably anxious.

Wow! !

A few seconds later, a cacophony of noise erupted throughout the venue.

It turns out that Qi Hanhai had conjured a four-star spell card out of thin air a moment ago.

As many predicted, before the mystery was revealed, this was a Corpse Explosion card.

But the on-site director really knew what he was doing. All the large screens in the air surrounding the venue magnified their viewpoints, displaying the entire scene on the card that Qi Hanhai was holding between his two fingers.

"Damn, the card art is red, which is a level higher than purple. I've never seen the card art before. Could this be a secret card?"

The term "secret card" is similar in meaning to "secret technique," referring to something that is kept secret and possesses extraordinary power.

The only difference is that the former is in the form of a card.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the four-star secret card [Super Corpse Explosion] was unveiled.

"With your abilities, you deserve for me to reveal this trump card. You have every reason to be proud."

Inside the arena, Qi Hanhai, seeing his opponent's conscious defense, remained unfazed: "This is indeed a corpse explosion technique, but unfortunately, on this enclosed arena, you have no way to dodge the attack."

That's all for this.

There were already enough corpses on the field, and since the audience was so eager, there was no need for him to wait any longer.

Qi Hanhai didn't say anything more, and the secret card in his hand began to unleash a powerful energy fluctuation.

This card's effect can detonate all corpses within a designated area, turning them into self-destruct bombs under the influence of a mysterious death energy.

In addition, based on the number of corpses within the range and their original vitality, a certain degree of cumulative buff effect will be applied.

hum! !

In an instant.

The mountain of bones piled up in the field seemed to be infused with an unknown and mysterious death energy. Under the infusion of this uncontrollable and extremely unstable energy, the dismembered skeletons in the field began to tremble continuously.

Not only that, even the corpses of the fallen Swordsmen of Light and Knights of Dawn inexplicably swelled and filled up, with a dazzling, deathly gray light threatening to burst their bodies.

"Little Spirit, quickly become ethereal, don't worry about me," Su Chen immediately reminded her through the contract.

The etherealization skill of a demon can only affect the user's own state and cannot take outsiders with them out of the real world.

The other party must have anticipated this as well.

"Master, be careful!" Little Spirit was very anxious. It sensed that an incomparably vast and terrifying killing intent was about to erupt.

It even tried to disobey its owner's instructions when it was ordered to take off urgently.

But no sooner said than done.

boom!
With a deafening roar, as if a flood had burst its banks, countless corpses exploded simultaneously, and torrents of deathly gray energy shockwaves surged forth.

In an instant, the Light Summoned Beasts and Undead Skeletons, who were still fighting in the center of the arena, were blasted to pieces by this burst of energy.

As if a chain reaction had occurred, the damage from the corpse explosions collided and overlapped, forming an unprecedented explosion of death energy in the blink of an eye.

boom!
This surging, destructive shockwave from the center of the arena spread outwards in an instant.

In order to cope with the indiscriminate and all-around bombardment of corpses that erupted throughout the entire arena, Qi Hanhai also took the opportunity to activate another rare limited card, [Guardian Blessing].

For 5 seconds, he will gain physical and magical immunity, completely unaffected by any form of damage or negative effects, which is equivalent to being virtually invincible.

"I hope you can give me a surprise."

Qi Hanhai's expression was indifferent. He stared directly at the energy surge of exploding corpses in front of him. In less than an instant, this tide of death also swallowed his figure.

But his tall, slender figure remained unmoved.

same.

At the right edge of the arena, Su Chen, who had set up multiple defensive measures in advance, was bathed in countless blazing white rays of light.

Now is the time to test the quality of the project.

The vast, surging tide of death also swallowed up this white light, and the solid barrier constructed by the 'Sanctuary' skill twisted and collapsed in less than a second.

The 'Barrier of Light', 'Barrier of Light', and 'Shield of Light' previously cast by the Light Unicorn and the Light Butterfly were all broken in the next two seconds.

These light-elemental summoned beasts, which had entrusted all their protective skills to Su Chen, had already been completely destroyed by the engulfing death energy.

The external support is gone.

Just like passing the baton, it was Su Chen's turn to use his own contract guardian token to defend.

However, this Guardian of Light card only lasted for a second before its effect completely disappeared.

at last.
Only one line of defense remained.

"bring it on."

Su Chen's cold expression remained unmoved, his eyes becoming deep and ethereal. His mental combat skill, 'Mental Barrier,' was activated at full power, directly covering a one-meter radius around him, supporting his body like a large bowl placed over his head.

After the Sun Observation Technique reaches the Proficiency level, this barrier gains the property of absorbing damage, thereby continuously increasing its own barrier strength.

Similarly, once his mental control reaches a proficient stage, he can achieve better results with less mental energy through meticulous manipulation.

Click!

With a crisp sound, fine, interwoven cracks instantly spread across the translucent barrier, as if trying to tear it apart completely.

But before the crack could spread fully, it encountered a tenacious force of repair.

In the blink of an eye, the forces of destruction and force engaged in a tug-of-war.

The two are in a state of ebb and flow, neither willing to yield to the other.

This also means that Su Chen's mental power poured down like a floodgate being opened, constantly surging into the outward-projecting mental barrier to solidify this last line of defense.

At this moment, it is unrelated to any outside influence.

With all distractions eliminated, his unwavering, indomitable spirit remained steadfastly supporting him.

Their resolve never wavered.

in a blink.

Su Chen's mental energy, totaling 50 to 100 points or more, was frantically drained away, and the mental barrier that was about to collapse stubbornly held firm.

"no problem."

Su Chen was completely focused and, having already sensed the gradual decline of the corpse explosion energy, did not notice a trace of smugness.

A turning point occurred.

The speed at which the crack opened and spread suddenly became incredibly slow, as the deathly light that had enveloped the surrounding area had already waned.

This indiscriminate area-of-effect attack triggered by the super corpse explosion has finally come to an end.

At this moment, the entire scene had already erupted into a frenzy.

"Fuck!"

When that secret card was revealed, gasps of astonishment rang out incessantly. And as the Super Corpse Explosion card completely detonated the corpses scattered all over the place, triggering a chain of explosions, the devastating blow that covered the entire field left everyone completely dumbfounded.

"My God, this is a huge undertaking."

Each arena has its own invisible four-sided boundaries, which prevent any energy from leaking out.

At this moment, the dense tide of death light had filled the entire arena space, and the originally invisible arched dome was clearly visible under the reflection of the deathly gray energy.

"Old He, watch out."

Even the organizers of the General Association were a little nervous because the protective arched dome had developed many cracks. If the energy barrier card hadn't been turned up to the six-star level in time, it would have exploded completely.

Goodness, these kids are playing this game so seriously!

If this energy is allowed to pour upwards, the large screen in the air will definitely be destroyed.

Fortunately, the destructive shockwave finally subsided abruptly, and the frantically unleashed power of the exploding corpses finally stopped.

"Is Qi Hanhai a sore loser? He's going for a suicidal attack." Someone wondered.

The same question has also arisen in the minds of many people.

No matter how you look at it, the indiscriminate explosion of corpses covering the entire area completely engulfed the two of them.

This looks too much like a mutual destruction.

Because of the sudden and rapid nature of the corpse explosion, and because Qi Hanhai himself timed the instantaneous casting of the Minor Invincibility Card, few people noticed this. It was only after a group of teachers who noticed something amiss reminded them that many questions gradually subsided.

At this moment, although there was no cheering from the stands where the Jiangnan Provincial Team was located, everyone looked relaxed, and that relaxed demeanor already showed their attitude.

As for the Qingyun provincial team, the situation was far more complicated. There was also silence, but the general sentiment was pessimistic.

Xia He remained silent, her brows slightly furrowed, and her hands unconsciously clenched.

Gao Mingxuan, who was just in high spirits, had already covered his head with his arms, his face looking like he was wearing a mask of pain.

Feng Xingqin's expression relaxed, with a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Su Chen is alright."

At that very moment, it was Wang Liyang, who had been silent all along, who broke the heavy atmosphere.

Beneath his strong and resolute face, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce through layers of energy tides, perfectly discerning everything.

"It really is"

Vice President Li, who was also focused on observing, suddenly stood up from his seat in the next second.

With the seals of these two authorities, the previously lifeless atmosphere seemed to gain a lot of vitality.

soon.

As the explosive energy of the corpse explosion completely subsided and dissipated, numerous strange noises were heard throughout the spectator stands.

"Su Chen is actually alright!!"

"Holy crap, he withstood that wave of corpse explosion AOE! What kind of monster is that?!"

"That attack was at least more outrageous than a five-star monster's full-power attack. I have to say, advance preparation and positioning did help."

In the footage shown by the director, Su Chen, located on the right edge of the screen, was the first to appear on the screen.

At this moment, it's no wonder that shouts erupted continuously from the spectator stands, the tone of which was one of disbelief.

"Oh my god!!"

After the barrier of consciousness, stained with mottled ashen color, dissipated, the tall and well-proportioned figure stood proudly, his clothes completely undamaged.

The other party seemed to have suffered no injuries, only a slightly pale and cold face that seemed to silently tell the story of the thrilling experience just now, obviously using a lot of mental energy in an instant.

"As expected of a master-level Sun Observation Technique, the mental barrier you created just now was truly beyond imagination."

Vice President Yu patted the railing, expressing great regret: "Not only that, but the proficient level of mental control also helped that kid achieve remarkable results."

"That demon spirit is still there after all."

Just as predicted before the match, the Holy Radiance Spirit Envoy, who had dodged the Corpse Explosion attack by using the Phantasm skill, appeared out of thin air beside his master.

A dazzling, blazing white holy light bathed Su Chen, accompanied by a barrier of abundant light attributes.

Seemingly at its master's suggestion, the demon spirit with its wings spread out began to radiate light, purifying and dispelling the surrounding death energy fluctuations. At least in this corner of the arena's boundary, it would not allow further invasion of death energy from the outside world.

"This kid's got a good head on his shoulders," Vice President Yu chuckled.

Sitting to the side, Pei Xingwei, the team's top player, looked at his younger brother and said, "You didn't lose unjustly."

Pei Xingcang ignored him, shook his head and sighed, "Su Chen did very well, but unfortunately, he encountered a monster."

The athletes from the Jiangnan provincial team also secretly felt it was a pity.

It's a pity it wasn't Su Chen!
Instead, their last secret weapon, the winning move that should have been reserved for the final match, is about to be revealed.

Wow!
At this moment, an even louder clamor arose from the audience. On the left side of the ring, another proud figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Gao Mingxuan was dumbfounded. He had just cheered again and was now completely embarrassed. He was surprised that the other party was still alive, but more importantly, he was shocked by how this guy had changed so much.

Even more outrageous is that the aura emanating from it was so powerful it was unbelievable, making it seem like a four-star monster.

"What the hell is going on?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Hanhai, who had just revealed himself, suddenly grew a head of long gray hair, and his eyes gleamed with a cold, desolate light.

His body was filled with a thick aura of death and surging magical energy. Undoubtedly, this guy's life level seemed to have undergone a transformation, and the power he possessed had been greatly elevated to a new level.

"Depend on!"

"It turns out that the effect of the [Death Gift] card was still exerting its last bit of power."

Some people immediately figured out what was going on.

Whenever an undead unit dies, nearby friendly undead units receive a small boost to all attributes.

Clearly, this vengeful spirit singer also falls into this category.

The corpse explosion that just covered the entire area not only wiped out the entire Legion of Light, but also wiped out all the surviving Scourge army.

That gift of death, in the end, fell upon Qi Hanhai himself.

Even more outrageous, many people discovered that the corpse explosion had left behind a lingering, putrid aura of death that was difficult to dissipate.

Especially in the center of the venue, the exceptionally rich and abundant aroma showed no signs of dissipating.

In a sense, isn't this just another four-star field card effect being unleashed for no reason?
"Holy crap! This card build is absolutely brilliant!"

"The highly interconnected system is constantly in place, with each link tightly connected to the next."

At this moment, many contestants and teachers felt a deep sense of awe for this first-order participant.

The scary thing is that this guy is just too despairing.

Many people genuinely felt sorry for Su Chen.

It's like finally defeating the BOSS after going through countless hardships and overcoming numerous difficulties, only to find out that this was just the first phase of its health bar, and now the BOSS has entered the second phase.

"To put it bluntly, this Undead Singer still has a Contract Card that hasn't been used."

"Now, the entire arena is his home ground, and the battle is about to end."

call!
Qi Hanhai, who was the center of attention, took a deep breath. With each inhale and exhale, he felt the rhythm of his body and adapted to the immense power he had just mastered.

[Death Gift] is ultimately a three-star card. Even if it's a limited edition card, at most it can only grant a single undead unit the strength of a four-star purple unit.

In a one-on-one fight, he is unlikely to be a match for the opposing demon wielder.

But the situation is somewhat different now.

After the explosion of corpses, the entire arena was filled with lingering, powerful waves of death energy.

For Qi Hanhai, who cultivates the first evil technique, the Netherworld Technique, this is an inexhaustible reserve of energy.

not only that.

Among them, the mental combat skills 'Void' and 'Death Perception' unlocked from the Netherworld Law are enough to make him feel right at home in this environment. His opponents will have nowhere to hide, and he will follow them like a shadow.

"Su Chen, you are amazing."

After activating his Death Sensation, the King of the Dead sensed that there was no death aura belonging to Su Chen in the arena.

Not to mention, the entire match was not stopped by the referee.

This speaks volumes.

Suddenly.

An ancient proverb from the barbaric era came to mind.

'To annihilate them completely is the highest tribute to a civilization in another dimension.'

For an elemental master who had already earned his respect and recognition, Qi Hanhai decided to dedicate all his strength without reservation.

Swish!
A card, [Mana Surge], flew easily from his waist pouch under his control.

next moment.

The card was already inserted into the driver card slot on his wrist.

'Access Permitted: Power Surges!'

hum!
Qi Hanhai's full-body magic cloak seemed to be encouraged by a strong wind, accompanied by shimmering magical light, and rings of dazzling magical aura completely enveloped his figure.

Equivalent to activating a berserk effect, Qi Hanhai, with his magical fluctuations surging and going berserk, will soon master even more terrifying magical power.

This will pave the way for his final hidden contract card, the three-star spell card [Death Finger].

Qi Hanhai had only one goal: to kill Su Chen instantly!
hum!
An invisible ripple emanated from his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, and his will instantly transcended his body, soaring into the air and taking in everything on the arena from a bird's-eye view.

Qi Hanhai clearly 'saw' Su Chen's figure, who was quietly recovering in a corner on the right.

"mark!"

With his own soul technique 'Death Omen Binding', Qi Hanhai can mark a single target he perceives with the Death Omen mark.

This branding action is so powerful that there is nowhere to hide. Once the Death Mark is applied, the target's whereabouts will be completely revealed, and all damage dealt to the target will be increased by 100% for the next 15 seconds.

This is the highest praise Qi Hanhai could give to Su Chen!
"You are the only one to have received this honor so far."

"coming!"

With a low, emotionless murmur, Qi Hanhai's figure, after using 'UFO,' drifted like a shadow, rapidly moving forward by relying on the deathly aura that permeated the area.

This speed is exceptionally fast.

Perhaps in less than a second, his elusive movement instantly crossed the center line of the field and suddenly arrived at the right-hand boundary where the death aura was most intense.

but
Unbeknownst to this undead singer, the moment he took his first step, the intense killing intent that enveloped him was perfectly anticipated and sensed by his opponent.

"etc."

Something is wrong!
Vice President Yu, who was watching from outside, immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because he saw Su Chen calmly and resolutely raise the Nebula Scepter in his hand, and the Holy Radiance Spirit Envoy with its wings spread out looked eager to try, its small hand outstretched, a surge of unusually powerful light energy gathering in its palm.

This posture clearly indicates a preemptive strike at a specific landing point.

broken!

"He probably could predict where it would land!"

As expected, there was only a trace of residual death energy in the rightmost position of the arena.

But a shadowy figure, like a wisp of green smoke, suddenly leaped up from within.

The same moment.

Swish!
A beam of pure, blazing white light had already been released from the magic crystal at the tip of the staff, striking the figure not far away with perfect accuracy.

With the help of communication, Xiao Ling's movements slowed down slightly, but the 'Holy Shock' released from its palm transformed into a dazzling beam of light that pierced through the air and, despite being a beat too slow, still successfully struck the figure.

"what!!"

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out.

boom! !

The moment this undead singer appeared, he was struck by two consecutive bursts of light elemental energy and sent flying backward like a cannonball.

The [Death Finger] he had just cut out was not only unused, but almost slipped from his hand.

"Uh"

Qi Hanhai's eyes widened. The death aura surrounding him had evaporated by more than half due to the light attribute's restraint earlier, and his originally cold and terrifying aura had weakened considerably.

Caught completely off guard, this attack was undoubtedly a devastating blow.

Mages are inherently fragile.

The armor provided by the thin spell cloak he wore was far inferior to that of a power-driven weapon.

Amidst his pain, Qi Hanhai couldn't hide his astonishment.

Before he could even figure out what was going on, he was suddenly struck by a severe blow and had to get back to full health.

He gritted his teeth, and his flying figure surged into the deathly wave behind him. With the help of the 'UFO' effect, his floating, ghost-like figure returned to the center of the corpse explosion.

This place is filled with the most abundant aura of death; one's injuries and strength will be fully restored in seconds.

"Now it's my turn."

Beneath layers of gray, gloomy smoke, the opponent's ethereal voice rang out at that moment.

Qi Hanhai's eyelids twitched, realizing that the atmosphere around him had become somewhat tense.

Slow down
"This is!"

Qi Hanhai's face grew paler and paler. With his incredibly keen spiritual perception, he inexplicably sensed that his soul seemed to be responding to a distant probe.

This experience is like being under the radar scan of an opponent, unable to hide, and becoming a target that has been successfully detected.

obviously.

This is Su Chen's soul technique, 'Soul Echo,' exerting its passive effect.

Seconds earlier, enveloped in murderous intent, he used the prophetic effect within it to know in advance where his opponent was about to land, and even foresaw that the spell card his opponent played had a terrifying instant-death effect.

This miraculous ability to foresee the future naturally led Su Chen to gift the necromancer a deluxe meal.

just now.

Su Chen closed his eyes.

He activated the 'Soul Echo', and an invisible wave radiated across the entire arena.

In less than a second, the unique soul fluctuations of the opponent in the surrounding environment immediately and unconsciously resonated with it.

"Go!"

Xiao Ling's figure had already disappeared beside him.

Under the contractual communication and guidance of its master, with a whoosh, a holy light slash tore through the thick smoke like the dawn, and suddenly fell on the figure hidden under the death aura.

puff!
A drop of blood splattered out.

Qi Hanhai, who fled in haste, left behind only a disheveled figure, and then once again used the 'UFO' to quickly escape.

"it is good"

The opportunity has arisen!
Qi Hanhai steeled his resolve. With his strength diminished, he figured that the [Death Finger], which possessed terrifying instant-kill potential, would likely struggle to instantly kill the Holy Radiance Spirit Envoy.

His only chance of winning is to defeat Su Chen instantly!
Taking advantage of the demon envoy's charge towards the center, Qi Hanhai's frantic escape route turned around and returned to the place he had just fled to.

However, a lingering worry remained in my heart.

He was just hit twice by the Precognitive.

Now that they're using the same old trick again, won't they be perfectly predicted once more?

Do not! !

The opponent's mental energy was almost depleted, and he didn't believe that the figure, whose mental energy was nearly exhausted, could activate the Elemental Bombardment Card again!

but.

In his panic, he was completely unaware that his figure had just been marked by an elemental magic seal.

Before he could return to his old place.

Swish!
A teleportation wave carrying a magnificent and dazzling white light suddenly descended, like the dawn breaking through the fog, instantly sweeping away half of the gloomy death aura around it.

As this majestic aura approached, the Holy Radiance Envoy, wielding a golden-scaled sword shrouded in holy light, swung it through the air with overwhelming force, slashing fiercely at the waist of the drifting, shadowy figure.

Along with it, an immensely powerful purifying light shone down upon the ghostly figure.

"No"

At that moment, a feeling of despair surged into Qi Hanhai's mind.

Its aura crumbled and collapsed as quickly as a snowman under the blazing sun.

puff! !

After its 'UFO' state was cleansed and removed, its body was split in two and fell to the ground.

of course.

Qi Hanhai was wrong about one thing.

"you"

Its upper body was less than 20 meters away from Su Chen in the distance. Because the surrounding death energy had been cleared away beforehand, the air here was not too bad.

Their view of each other across the distance was completely unobstructed.

What made Qi Hanhai even more desperate was that the figure of his opponent, whom he had expected to be mentally exhausted, stood proudly, and his face had even regained a lot of color from its paleness.

"monster!!"
