Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1663 The Conman's Defense

“I choose not to pay the life points and let the ‘Royal Edict’ be destroyed,” You Xuan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial edict vanished into specks of light.

Royal decrees, in the modern, censored version, cannot be actively broken. Each turn, 700 health points must be forcibly paid to maintain them. They can only be automatically broken when the user's health points are less than 700.

However, the classic version is different; the controller can choose not to pay health and give up the edict at any time, making it more flexible to use.

Although the thousand clones were disgusted by You Xuan's one-way blockade, they couldn't help but feel a sense of relief upon seeing the imperial edict leave.

Anyway, it's always a good thing that there's one less of these weird stickers. Maybe next time I'll be able to find another chance to fight back.

However, this also temporarily lifted the magical seal on both sides. Yu Xuan didn't hold back and directly played a powerful spell: "Activate the spell card 'Grimoire in a Pot', both players draw three cards from their decks."

Both players replenished their hands.

"Then activate the monster effect of 'Divine Flame Emperor Uria' to destroy all the Trap Cards in your opponent's back row!"

The trap has been destroyed!

The power of the Divine Flame Emperor was unleashed once more. Uria, a phantom demon designed to counter traps, rendered all traps utterly useless before it. The swindler's rear was thus completely wiped out.

"But at that moment, the face-down card also activated," the old swindler said. "Trap card 'Needle Worm's Nest'! Send the top five cards of your deck to the graveyard!"

The thousand clones drew five cards and sent them to the graveyard in turn.

But this would leave the con artist without his backcourt.

"Battle!" You Xuan issued the attack command again. "First, the Pharaoh's Descent! Attack 'CNO.65 Judgment Demon King - Judgment Evil Spirit'!"

The thousand clones frowned: "Knowing it's pointless, why attack?"

He wasn't naive enough to think his opponent would launch a pointless attack. No, it couldn't be destroyed by combat; his opponent should know that. Even so, the attack only meant two things.

Either you already have a card that can penetrate defenses, or...
"Activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Forbidden Grail' from your hand!" Yu Xuan said. "It increases the ATK of one monster on the field by 400, but in exchange, that monster's effect is negated."

You Xuan pointed at the Judgement Demon on the opponent's field.

"Nullify the effect of 'CNO.65 Judgment Demon King - Judgment of Evil Spirits'!"

A sacred golden chalice appeared in mid-air, and a drop of jade liquid seemed to slide from the chalice, dripping onto the field. The liquid radiated a holy light and was absorbed into the body of the Demon King of Judgment. Although it seemed to increase his power slightly, it also made his body dim.

Without the protection of NO. resistance, the Judgment Demon King immediately lost his ability to defend himself and was easily blasted through the chest, turning into black smoke and dissipating from the field.

In this way, the cheater lost his final shield, and the NO. defense line, which possessed invincible combat capabilities, became an empty space.

In this empty arena, he will have to face the wrath of the Illusionary Demon God, Flame Emperor.

Of course, at the same time Yuugen activated "Forbidden Grail", the Grail was naturally sent to Yuugen's graveyard after it took effect. Because the condition of "sending a card from the field to the graveyard" was met, Yuugen's "Void Space" was also automatically destroyed.

Void Space is a card designed for this purpose. It is destroyed whenever a card is sent from the field to your Graveyard. This includes not only destroying your own monsters, but also performing monster Tribute, Fusion, Synchro, activating Spell/Trap effects, and so on. Almost any action will cause Void Space to self-destruct.

Therefore, it is crucial to seize the opportunity to defeat the opponent when the suppression of the Void Space is lifted. However, with the Void Space returning to the Graveyard, coupled with the Royal Decree that self-destructs to the Graveyard starting this turn, the number of traps in Youxuan's Graveyard has increased to five. The attack power of the Divine Flame Emperor has once again increased to five thousand.

At this moment, the gambling den was completely empty. In addition, the Illusion Demon had absolute resistance to traps, and the Divine Flame Emperor himself had the ability to destroy traps. If this attack succeeded, it would secure victory.

It can be said that You Xuan's kill probability in this round has reached over 90%.

"Fight!" You Xuan said, "Divine Flame Emperor Uriah, attack directly!"

Super Flame Wave!

[Divine Flame Emperor Uria, Attack Power 5000]

Uria had long disliked the conman and had been waiting for this opportunity. Now that he had the chance, he held nothing back, unleashing endless flames from his throat, which transformed into burning infernos that bombarded him.

With neither a front line nor a back line, the Thousand-Supreme Clone faced a deadly attack from Uriah!
However, at that critical moment, a magical image suddenly appeared on his field, along with four other cards. The five cards instantly transformed into fleeting golden light, forming a barrier like a particle shield that solidly resisted Uriah's attack.

"What?" The girl, Yuria, floated out again, surprised. "What is this thing now?"

This guy clearly had no monsters left, and no cards on the field. She was fully expecting this attack to vent her anger, so she put in her best effort, but to her surprise, it still didn't work.

"I activated the Spell Card 'Salvation of the Buried God' from the Graveyard," said the Thousand-Spirit Clone. "I banish this card along with four other random cards from the Graveyard. You have only one chance to force the end of this turn's Battle Phase." (Anime Card)
"It was magic activated from the graveyard!" Uria exclaimed in frustration. "Damn it, that cunning bastard. If only I still had 'Royal Decree' this turn!"

She felt that with the imperial edict in hand, any magical effect would be visible. Although if Yu Xuan hadn't self-destructed the edict, his own "Forbidden Holy Grail" wouldn't have been able to activate at all, and wouldn't have even been able to break through NO.'s defenses, so this hypothesis was invalid, she still felt regretful.

However, You Xuan glanced at her and shook his head, saying, "Although the Divine Flame Emperor is powerful, it seems that his dueling skills are not very good."

The red-haired loli immediately bared her teeth and brandished her claws, revealing a super fierce expression: "What did you say!?"

“Even if ‘Royal Decree’ is present, it’s useless. Decree can only negate the effects of spell cards on the field,” Yu Xuan said calmly. “‘Salvation of the Buried God’ is a spell activated in the graveyard, so even Royal Decree can’t stop it.”

Yuria stared blankly: "Huh? Is that how it is?"

"That's it. It's a real shame your attack was blocked. The battle phase is over." The Thousand Venerable clone sneered. "Although it seemed like a confident attack, it's a pity we couldn't kill him."

And in doing so, your traps and blockades are also dispelled by your own hands, so that in the next round...

However, You Xuan then slowly said, "Next, activate the effect of 'Pharaoh's Descent'. By relieving your field of Angels, Reptiles, or Fiend-Type monsters, you can add a Continuous Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

You Xuan pointed to the virtuous official, Kadan, standing to the side of the field.

“Since the wise official Cardan is an Angel, I will release Cardan and search for another Continuous Trap from the deck to my hand.”

Another card popped out of Yu Xuan's deck, which he lazily showed off after drawing it into his hand.

“Add the Continuous Trap ‘Royal Decree’ from the deck to your hand, Unit 2.”

A thousand clones: "."

You son of a bitch.
