The Mysterious Card Maker: Starting with Zhang Jiao's Deification

The cold, mechanical sound echoed through the manor like the whisper of death.

The strange tide surged in like a burst dam, rushing into every part of the manor.

The next second, the once peaceful manor erupted into a fierce battle.

"boom"

Blue and green lights flashed one after another, and purple lights also appeared in several places.

For a moment, the speed of those strange forward rushes was indeed somewhat curbed.

But Su Wanqing knew that this was only temporary, because she saw endless strange things surging in from outside the manor.

At this moment, Su Wanqing and Da Niu, standing by the window, looked down at the chaotic battlefield below, their faces extremely grim.

"Have those bastards from the Card Association still not arrived? The eerie tide has been forming for so long, and we haven't seen a single person!"

For the first time ever, Su Wanqing swore. She clenched her fist tightly and slammed it against the wall.

Her gaze swept across the area below, watching familiar figures rush out of the houses, brandishing their weapons and lunging at the monsters. After slaying several monsters, they were still torn apart beyond recognition by the monsters behind them.

Downstairs, a security guard roared and unleashed several cards in succession. Dense light shone around him, and most of the eerie aura surrounding him was killed by the card spirits he summoned.

Before he could even show his joy, a bizarre creature appeared, its body bound with chains and an axe embedded in its head. In a single exchange, the security guards were all killed by the creature.

Without the protection of the Kaling, several strange creatures pounced on the security guard, and within moments, he had vanished without a trace.

Similar scenes played out repeatedly throughout the manor.

"These weird things!" Da Niu gritted his teeth, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a long axe appeared in his hand, as if he was about to go down and fight those weird things to the death.

"What are you doing?" Su Wanqing snapped, "Going out to your death?"

Upon hearing Su Wanqing's words, Da Niu abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Su Wanqing watched the figures being swallowed up outside the window, and anger flashed in her eyes, but she forcibly suppressed it.

Chaos had broken out outside, but they couldn't afford to. She glanced instinctively at the card-making room behind her.

For some reason, at this moment, Lin Fan's face appeared in her mind.

Suddenly, as if she had just remembered something, she turned her head sharply and asked, "Da Niu, is the villa's security card activated?"

Da Niu was clearly stunned for a moment, then quickly ran down the slope.

"Buzz"

A series of pale blue light curtains lit up around the villa, enveloping the entire villa.

Although it's far inferior to the defensive light barrier outside the manor, it's still enough to block ordinary monsters, and at the very least, it can buy some time.

"Miss Su, the defense card has been activated." Da Niu shouted from the lobby.

He then slammed his long axe on the ground, his gaze fixed on the door. "Leave the downstairs to me. If any of those monsters come in, I'll kill them one by one."

Su Wanqing rubbed her throbbing temples and turned to look at the card-making room behind her. The lightning in the room was much weaker than before, which was obviously a sign that it was about to end.

She turned around and called out to Da Niu downstairs, "Da Niu, come upstairs."

"Huh?" Da Niu was stunned. "Why would I go up there?"

"Stay with Lin Fan."

Although Da Niu was a little confused, he still listened to Su Wanqing and ran up.

"We're all here, what if something strange breaks in?" Da Niu scratched his head.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'll stay downstairs, you stay upstairs."

She pointed to the card-making room and said, "Judging from Lin Fan's current state, his mental energy will most likely be completely drained after this is over, and he might even faint. In that case, you'll have to take him to the underground auction house."

Da Niu paused for a moment, but quickly replied, "And what about you?"

Su Wanqing was silent for a moment, then gripped the card in her hand tightly. "I'll find an opportunity to go there."

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was the safest method she could think of at the moment.

After all, in terms of strength, she is much stronger than Da Niu. If any strange creatures break in, she is more suitable to stay behind and block them than Da Niu.

If Da Niu were to stay below, and he couldn't hold them off, once Lin Fan finished his fusion and his spiritual energy was exhausted, none of the three of them would be able to escape.

Conversely, if she stays by his side, Da Niu can lead Lin Fan to hide in the underground auction house.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that those strange creatures are no match for her. If a monster king really breaks in, then she can only accept her fate.

After explaining everything, Su Wanqing went to the lobby on the first floor, closed her eyes to rest, and held several weapon cards in her hand. She would take action immediately if any strange creature stepped into the villa.

"Bang!"

A dull thud came from the outermost defensive light screen of the villa.

Then came the second, the third... the sounds grew more and more frequent.

Those strange things have already arrived outside the villa!

Su Wanqing downstairs did not get up immediately. She remained seated on the sofa in the living room, her eyes slightly open, waiting quietly.

A grotesque face covered in rotting flesh, with eyes casually pressed against its surface, was pressed against the defensive light barrier outside the villa. Through the window, Su Wanqing could see its hideous face.

Immediately afterwards, a second group squeezed in, as if trying to peek through the window to see what was happening inside. At the same time, their actions of ramming the light screen did not stop.

"Click"

"Click click"

A series of sounds came from outside the villa, and the light curtain outside shattered.

"The big one's here!"

Su Wanqing slowly stood up, the long sword in her hand flashing with a cold light. Her gaze was fixed on the direction of the loudest noise, which was not the direction of the gate.

With a loud "boom," a bizarre object nearly ten feet tall burst through the wall and rushed in.

He had an axe on his head and was bound by more than a dozen iron chains as thick as an arm, with several chains dragging behind him, making a rattling sound.

"That's it!"

Su Wanqing recognized it at a glance; it was the strange creature that had wiped out several of the security guards in the manor in a single encounter.

"Purple Domain Level!"

Su Wanqing flicked her longsword, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp, ringing sound.

"What a coincidence! Then you can forget about leaving!" Su Wanqing revealed a cold glint in her eyes.

As if responding to Su Wanqing's words, the eerie creature, without any warning, swung the chain at her with a "clatter" as soon as she finished speaking.

Su Wanqing raised her hand and blocked with her long sword.

"when"

The iron chain and the long sword collided, and the terrifying shockwave blew the eerie creature that had entered the villa first out of the house. All the windows in the villa shattered at that moment.

The floor beneath Su Wanqing's feet cracked, and a trickle of blood dripped from her knife-wielding hand.

"Miss Su!" Da Niu exclaimed in surprise as he watched the scene from upstairs.

"It's alright!" Su Wanqing replied in a relaxed tone.

"It's quite strong, but if it's just like this..." Su Wanqing gently shook her numb arm.

A layer of icy blue chill spread rapidly along the hilt of the sword, causing the temperature in the air to drop sharply, and even the hall was covered with a layer of white frost.

A purple light shone again in Su Wanqing's hand.

Her originally dark eyes were now tinged with a pale blue luster, and a powerful mental pressure erupted from her body.

The giant, eerie creature froze, before it could react.

The iron chains on its body broke, and then a white line of ice appeared in its body.

At this moment, Su Wanqing vanished from her spot, reappearing strangely before him without his knowledge, her long sword already wielded in a slash.

With her back to the eerie sight, she calmly sheathed her long sword.

"Zheng"

The blade returned to its sheath, and the eerie, ten-foot-tall creature was split in two, slowly sliding down to the ground.

The Purple Realm is eerie; instant kill!
