My exclusive card pool

Chapter 214 Brother, Save Me
A loud rumble followed.

The two white marble pillars, neatly cut in the middle, collapsed instantly, splashing up a torrent of mud.

buzzing...

Hundreds of military drones also rushed from the central area, hovering over the Shuguang area, and the cameras captured this magnificent scene from a bird's-eye view.

The high-ranking officials overlooking the bureau's monitoring center all stood in front of the giant screen, holding their breath as they watched the images of the disaster site.

"Mr. Gu and Section Chief Chu arrived just in time and destroyed the giant door immediately."

A bespectacled woman in uniform breathed a sigh of relief.

"According to the analysis of the calculation department, this door is probably related to the legendary 'carp leaping over the dragon gate' and has a certain 'transformation' effect."

"If the mud carp were allowed to leap over the giant gate, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Another man in a suit said:
"The initial intelligence was wrong. This sudden orange disaster was not the 'Gemini' type, but the 'King' type... which misdirected our combat power, causing the Dawn Zone team to be almost wiped out."

"We can't blame the monitoring personnel for misjudging, after all, this kind of thing has never happened before, it's the first case."

Director Deng Tang, standing in the middle, shook his head.

"Fortunately, Mr. Wang Xi stepped forward and held off the main body of the disaster core, buying precious time."

"I never imagined that his strength had grown to such a level. It is truly a blessing for our Gucheng."

Another slightly overweight middle-aged man sighed in a deep voice.

This person is Xiao Zhengze, the deputy director of the bureau, who is looking down at the young man standing in mid-air in the picture. His eyes are filled with gratitude.

Everyone nodded silently.

If Wang Xi hadn't piloted Unit-01 to intercept the giant mud carp in time, the evacuation team of tens of thousands of people would likely have been wiped out.

After that, he first helped Wei Xuan and others kill the "Yellow Mud Boy", and then used his own strength to restrain the main body of the disaster core, Qilin'er. He not only blocked the giant fish that was trying to leap over the dragon gate, but also held on until Gu Li and Chu Nai rushed to the battlefield.

It's not an exaggeration to say that they turned the tide.

"Director, members of the Foreign Affairs Department and the Demystification Section have arrived near the battlefield in the Dawn Zone. Please issue instructions."

At this moment, a young liaison officer wearing an earpiece stood up and shouted to Deng Tang on the platform.

Director Deng thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Don't act rashly yet, be ready to be dispatched at any time."

The orange cataclysmic core is too powerful; only Mr. Gu and his team can contend with it. Rashly sending subordinates into the battle would only increase unnecessary casualties.

"Yes, Director."

The liaison officer quickly responded and then relayed the order through his headset.

at the same time.

Several helicopters were hovering over the Shuguang District, with two photographers carrying equipment, pointing their lenses at the city cluster below and the female reporter beside them.

The female reporter gripped the doorknob tightly, her expression serious, and faced the strong wind as she described the events to the camera:
"...This is the disaster site in Dawn District. We are currently above Wildebeest Street. As you can see, one-third of the area has been reduced to ruins!"

"According to the Bureau of Observation, this disaster is classified as an orange-level 'sudden disaster.' Currently, the Yong-Hsieh Association and the defense force are actively combating the disaster, but the casualties are heavy!"

"Fortunately, Mr. Wang Xi, the vice president of the Yongxie Association, bravely held off the disaster center. Overlooking the situation, the bureau's high-level combat forces have successfully arrived at the scene and are preparing for the final battle..."

The news broadcast is being streamed live.

At this moment, residents of all districts outside the central and dawn areas are either staying at home or hiding in shelters and bunkers, watching the news reports.

A terrifying orange-level disaster has struck, and both ordinary citizens and the upper class are deeply concerned about the development of the situation, fearing that Gucheng may fall.

An uneasy atmosphere was quietly spreading, and panic was surging like an undercurrent. Most people wore tense and anxious expressions, silently praying that the disaster would pass smoothly and hoping that the Overlook Bureau and the Brave Association could overcome the core of the disaster.

Countless tragic examples have shown them that if Gucheng falls, ordinary people will not escape death.

Only official superhumans and professional warriors are their guardians.

...

...

After the collapse of Longmen.

The Qilin child stood in mid-air, riding on auspicious clouds and gentle breezes, its head adorned with the ferocious face of a strange beast.

His dark eyes swept over the two streaks of light flying straight towards him, then glanced at Wang Xi, who was also suspended in mid-air not far away.

Seemingly aware that these three were not easy to deal with, Zhang Fuyun grinned and immediately began to chant an incantation:

"Turning rivers and overturning jade mountains, wagging its tail and shattering heavy passes."

"go--"

Boom! !
The giant fish that had been shoved into the mud by the "shovel" reappeared and charged madly toward the distant city cluster.

Qilin'er's move was clearly a calculated scheme—deliberately diverting everyone's attention and forcing the battlefield to split up.

But without a doubt, it worked very well.

There was no way anyone would leave the mud carp unattended, as that would result in huge casualties and losses.

"Leave the mudfish to me."

At this moment, Gu Li, who was in mid-air, made a hoarse sound from under the sack covering his head.

"I'll leave the disaster assessment to Section Chief Chu."

"Okay." Chu Nai replied calmly and simply.

Gu Li said no more and immediately changed direction, like a blood-red spear falling from the sky, chasing straight towards the yellow mud carp.

He dared to entrust the disaster core to Chu Nai to handle alone because he had just witnessed the terrifying strength of this young section chief in the central area.

As the dog-headed bride's sugar painting barrier enveloped half a block, Chu Nai calmly spread her golden wings. With a light wave of her halberd, a purifying pillar of light descended from the sky, instantly melting away all the sugar painting defenses.

That overwhelming force reminded Gu Li of a rumor from six years ago:
The capital of Dongzhou, "Haicheng Taiyu - Burning Sin Old Man", sacrificed himself, and his core card deck was sealed by Dongzhou University.

However, because this deck belongs to the Miracle archetype, it requires extremely demanding compatibility and comes at a high cost, so a suitable successor has not been found.

This Section Chief Chu not only graduated from Dongzhou University, but the power he displayed was also very similar to that of the "Burning Sin Old Man"...

Gu Li sighed inwardly.

The "Old Man of Burning Sins" is extremely powerful, ranking among the top in the entire Eastern Continent. He is among the top 100 in the "List of Mountains and Seas" and belongs to the most elite "Grand Masters".

But such power comes at a great cost.

This girl is probably enduring unimaginable pain.

Furthermore, they don't live long.

Just as Gu Li's figure flew downwards, Wang Xi, who was poised to strike, suddenly made his move.

He has only one goal.

That was the core source of all these calamities—Zhang Fuyun, the Qilin Child standing in mid-air with his black eyes flashing with evil light!

I don't seek to kill anyone, I only hope to create an opportunity for Chu Nai.

He suddenly thrust his right arm forward, his five fingers spread wide.

Suddenly, a pitch-black hand materialized in the night sky, with a vertical pupil splitting open in the palm, sweeping out a cold, grayish-white light. At the same time, its five fingers, with a biting force, reached out to grab its opponent.

It is a three-card collaboration of "Heart-Stealing Trick", "Petrifying Eye", and "Absolute Bit".

"Disturbing your enjoyment." A hint of annoyance flashed across Zhang Fuyun's horrifying beast-like face, but he showed no sign of panic.

Swah——

He flashed, moving sideways like a ghost, dodging the petrifying ray and the black hand's bite.

He then raised his hand and grabbed a clump of yellow mud out of thin air.

The lump of clay was rapidly kneaded and transformed between his slender fingers, and in the blink of an eye, it became a lifelike clay sculpture of a man, about the size of a palm.

Wang Xi stared at the clay sculpture's face, slightly taken aback.

That was clearly his own likeness.

"Mold clay into a body, imbue it with spirit and soul, and sculpt a human from the eight directions." The Qilin child murmured, casually tossing the small clay sculpture into the air. "Transform!"

hum!
The clay sculpture grew taller in the wind, and in mid-air it transformed into a human figure as tall as Wang Xi.

Its face was cold and hard, lacking the liveliness that life should possess, with only a strange, yellowish mud churning deep within its eyes. Above the clay figure's head, a line of text appeared starkly:
"Guardian Clay Figure - Wang Xizhi (Nemesis/High-Rank Five-Star/Elite)"

Do I hit myself?
Zhang Fuyun actually managed to mold him!

This absurd scene left Wang Xi speechless for a moment.

The moment the clay figure "Wang Xizhi" was formed, it pointed its finger in mid-air in a posture almost identical to Wang Xizhi himself, with thick, ink-like black light flowing from its fingertips, quickly outlining in the air.

The primordial spirit fluctuated violently.

This is clearly similar to the power of "A Stroke of Mountains and Rivers" and "Ink Spirit Heavenly Question".

The ink instantly solidified, transforming into countless ink spirit flying swords imbued with a chilling aura, emitting sharp, piercing whistles as they rained down upon Wang Xi.

shhhhh--

Wang Xi frowned slightly, forced to focus his attention and temporarily halt his attack on Qilin'er, prioritizing dealing with the mud figure.

He stepped on the flowing ink marks of the yin-yang symbol, flashing and dodging in mid-air, his black sword flashing out streaks of sharp light.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Qilin watched this "mutual destruction" drama with a smile playing on his lips.

But he paid no more attention and instead turned his gaze to the golden figure in the distance—Chu Nai.

“You demon, you are even more powerful.”

A long, carved spoon with an antique design and a dark bronze luster appeared out of thin air in Zhang Fuyun's hand.

"I have no choice but to show you my true abilities."

The spoon in his hand seemed to connect with nothingness; with a slight twist of his wrist, he scooped and dug into the void—and the spoon was suddenly filled with golden syrup, exuding a rich, sweet aroma, steaming hot.

"Sugar painting of the twelve demon-suppressing images, mysterious and wondrous methods to sculpt spiritual light." Qilin'er chanted incantations, his long spoon splashing and drawing in mid-air like a paintbrush.

shhhhh--

Golden syrup, drawn with the tip of a spoon, instantly solidified into twelve mythical beasts of various shapes.

Dragons soaring through the clouds, tigers roaring in the mountains, rabbits cunningly escaping nets, horses treading on auspicious clouds, monkeys climbing giant trees, snakes hiding in mysterious ways... Based on the twelve zodiac animals, each statue is ancient yet eerie.

As soon as they took shape, they let out a silent roar, exuding a fierce aura, and charged towards Chu Nai.

These twelve sugar-painted zodiac animals each possess different abilities.

Some possess immense strength, others are as swift as lightning, some spew poisonous mists, and still others can cause thunder...

Chu Nai remained expressionless as she faced these sugar-painted mythical creatures.

Her golden wings fluttered behind her.

hum-

A holy yet fierce light emanated from her body, forming a radiating halo behind her.

A translucent golden flame erupted around her, and she slashed down fiercely at the surging "sugar painting army" with the halberd in her hand, which was wrapped with a transparent blue and white flag.

Chu Nai softly uttered, "Cleanse your sins."

An indescribably thick beam of light swept across.

Where the beam of light passed, the air distorted and emitted a rumbling explosion. The twelve zodiac sugar paintings, upon contact, did not explode or offer any resistance; they simply melted and decomposed instantly, like snow meeting the blazing sun, and then vaporized and vanished.

This devastating scene made Qilin'er frown.

Are the Twelve Demon-Suppressing Forms really so vulnerable?
"Samadhi Burning Heaven!"

Qilin'er snorted coldly and spat it out.

A terrifying spiral of true fire, carrying the force to scorch mountains and boil seas, swept across hundreds of meters and rushed straight at Chu Nai.

However, Chu Nai, clad in golden armor, merely flapped her wings, and a howling wind arose—a hurricane formed from holy light swept through, actually parting the oncoming sea of ​​fire on both sides.

Qilin's face finally darkened.

He realized that this woman in golden armor was very difficult to deal with.

On the other side, Wang Xi also finished his clay sculpture.

Bang! !

There was a loud bang.

The clay figure "Wang Xizhi" was flattened by the incandescent giant hand created by the "Childhood Fun Sword".

Wang Xi had been fighting intensely for a long time and was now panting heavily, his magic power almost depleted.

But he gritted his teeth and attacked Qilin'er again.

call out--

A scarlet line flew from Wang Xi's fingertip and drew a circle around Zhang Fuyun.

At the same time, a black hand materialized and grabbed the opponent's shoulder.

Zhang Fuyun wanted to dodge, but the presence of the red thread made him hesitate for a moment—the "Yellow Mud Boy" had been bound by this red thread and beheaded because he tried to dodge.

However, it was this moment of hesitation that caused him to be "bitten" on the shoulder by the black hand, and his body came to a standstill.

A fleeting opportunity!

For Chu Nai, that was more than enough.

"Judgment."

The silver-haired girl's voice was calm and serene, carrying a sacred echo.

The blue and white banner on her halberd suddenly shone as brightly as a star. She spread her golden wings and transformed into a torrent of light, instantly passing by Qilin'er.

The speed was so fast that Wang Xi was speechless.

scoff-

Qilin'er's expression froze.

The darkness in my eyes was forcibly torn apart the moment the holy light descended, and reflected as gold.

The blinding light split him in two.

There were no horrific explosions, no flying blood and gore.

However, the dragon scales on his body peeled off and disappeared inch by inch, and his whole body turned into ashes from the inside out.

Suddenly.

"Cough...cough..." Qilin'er, or rather Zhang Fuyun, coughed up a mouthful of thick, black blood.

The blood was immediately evaporated by the light as soon as it was vomited out.

His face showed terror, and a glimmer of clarity suddenly flashed in his pitch-black eyes—a glimmer of understanding tinged with endless pain, confusion, and vulnerability.

In his brief moment of clarity before death, Zhang Fuyun was able to see clearly the young man holding a toy wooden sword not far away.

No longer a formidable but unfamiliar foe, but rather...

"Senior brother?!"

Zhang Fuyun's voice was hoarse with disbelief, and contained an indescribable mix of elation and panic.

All defenses, all the arrogance and hatred corrupted and distorted by demonization, crumbled in that instant.

The emotions that had been suppressed deep within his soul, belonging to "Zhang Fuyun of the Huo Family Martial Arts School in Qingwei Town," burst forth.

this moment.

He was not a prodigy, but the pitiful junior brother who once admired his senior brother, experienced dramatic changes, and was now trapped in a desperate situation.

"Brother!!"

Zhang Fuyun, using his last ounce of strength, spewed blood and sparks as he burned in the light, letting out a final, hysterical cry: "Save me! Senior brother, save me! And the people of Da Lu... the people of Da Lu!!"

This desperate plea for help and entrustment struck Wang Xi like a heavy hammer blow, leaving him stunned.

The words have not yet fallen.

The Qilin child had completely collapsed, dissipating in the cold night wind, leaving only a deathly silence.
