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

"Wow, that's awesome!" Da Niu exclaimed from the third floor, looking down at everything below. He slapped the handrail and exclaimed how amazing it was.

At this moment, Su Wanqing smoothed the hair that was blocking her eyes and discreetly wiped away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Looking at the eerie presence outside the villa, she couldn't help but feel fortunate.

That attack she just made used almost all of her mental energy, plus the equipment card [Eye of the Ghost], to suppress that monster. She only managed to kill it before it could react. To others, it was an easy instant kill, but only she knew that if another one came, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Fortunately, the monsters didn't rush up. They were clearly frightened by the scene. Even though they lacked intelligence, their instincts told them that they couldn't afford to mess with the woman in front of them.

Those strange creatures dared not step into the villa. Some did try to enter, but Su Wanqing swiftly killed them all.

"Da Niu, is Lin Fan still not ready?" Su Wanqing's eyes were still scanning back and forth in the hall, not daring to relax for a moment.

"It's almost over, the lightning is about to dissipate!" Da Niu tried to touch the lightning, but he felt the terrifying power within it as soon as he got close, so he withdrew his hand and did not continue to touch it.

Just as Da Niu finished speaking, a deep voice came from outside the villa.

"Oh, I'm the first one here. In that case, I'll accept everything in this house!"

Immediately after

A series of footsteps, like something sticking to the soles of the feet, rang out.

The strange creatures that had been gathered there parted to make way and knelt down, as if welcoming something.

Sensing the newly emerged, eerie, and powerful aura, Su Wanqing's expression changed drastically, and her hand gripping the knife became sweaty.

A human-shaped figure slowly walked into the villa.

"This oppressive feeling, the Ghost King!" She had experienced the Ghost Tide before and had seen the Ghost King, but the 'person' in front of her seemed to be even stronger than the Ghost King she had encountered before.

Just as that 'person' stepped into the villa, Su Wanqing moved, her blue eyes lighting up again.

"Did it succeed?" Seeing that the 'person' didn't move, she had some doubts, but she didn't want to miss any opportunity.

The long sword was instantly drawn from its sheath and slashed straight at the "person". Just as the long sword was about to touch the "person", the "person" dodged to the side, avoiding the slash. However, the cold air rising from the sword still tore the corner of his clothes, revealing a bloody mark.

The man glanced at the bloodstain on his shoulder before slowly speaking, "With your meager mental strength, you dare to try and suppress me? If it weren't for the quality of your blade, I wouldn't have been injured at all!"

Immediately afterwards, a powerful mental pressure surged from that 'person' and pressed straight down on Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing, who was originally standing, was forced to kneel on one knee. She supported herself with her hands on the ground, trying to resist the terrifying mental pressure, but it seemed to have little effect.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else." A mocking voice suddenly came from outside the hall. "It's the newly crowned Grey King, Krein."

The moment the voice fell, the air froze, and then an aura even more terrifying than Krein's crashed down.

boom!

The two forces were secretly clashing in the air, and Su Wanqing, caught in the middle, turned pale instantly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

She looked up and saw a figure standing at the other end of the hall.

He was a thin, bony man with skin as pale as a dead man's, and a half-smile on his face.

The Grey King, Krein, frowned. "The White King..."

The White King glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "What? Your king is dead, and now it's your turn to swagger around?"

Krein's face instantly darkened, and the gray mist around his body surged wildly.

Upstairs, Da Niu, who was originally standing in the corridor, was forced back several steps by the two forces and his back slammed heavily against the wall.

His throat bobbed, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. "Two... Demon Kings?"

Even if he were simple-minded, he would understand at this moment that going down there would be no different from committing suicide.

He looked towards the card-making room, where the lightning had dimmed considerably. He tentatively reached out to touch it.

"Buzz"

A lightning bolt instantly lit up, directly knocking his hand away.

"Mr. Lin, when are you going to finish this?!"

Downstairs, Su Wanqing was tossed aside by the two ghost kings like trash. She lay on the ground, panting heavily, but her eyes remained fixed on the two ghost kings.

"Two demon kings, what are they doing here!"

As she pondered this, the two demon kings before her had already given her the answer.

"White King, but I got here first, so the things up here should rightfully be mine!" said Gray King Krein.

Hearing this, Su Wanqing was also startled. The things up there? She remembered there wasn't anything in this villa worth fighting over between the two Ghost Kings. If there was anything, it was only...

Lin Fan!

It seems that ever since Lin Fan appeared, strange things have started to gather around the manor. Could it be that he is hiding something? Just as Su Wanqing was thinking this, Bai Wang spoke up.

"Krein, you don't really think things are the same as before, do you? This time, it's the Royal Seal that's appeared." As he said the last two words, a glint of fervor flashed in the White King's eyes.

"This time it's mine, but if there's another chance, I'll help you grab it!"

"Shameless old bastard, let's fight!"

The White King waved his hand, his aura growing increasingly powerful, but he showed no intention of making a move.

"You can't beat me. If we keep waiting, it won't just be a fight between the two of us anymore."

"Alright, I'll take the things first, and then we'll have another fight. The winner gets the royal seal."

"You old bastard, get the hell out of here." Before the White King could speak again, the Gray King, Krein, had already made his move.

Within just a few breaths of the collision, the first floor was completely destroyed, leaving only a few crooked load-bearing pillars creaking.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan in the card-making room was unaware that the outside world had completely spiraled out of control. At this moment, his consciousness seemed to be pulled into a space, completely isolated from the outside world.

When he opened his eyes again, the world had changed.

Above, a blood moon hung high in the sky.

The crimson moonlight poured down, dyeing the entire world an eerie dark red.

The ground beneath their feet was covered in cracks, with jagged fissures spreading outwards into the distance.

On the ground, the dark red liquid resembled a flowing river of blood, emitting a strong, pungent stench of blood.

He frowned slightly and took a few steps forward, but the next second, he suddenly stopped.

Because he saw that it was not a mountain at all, but a pile of countless corpses wearing tattered armor.

A sudden gust of wind swept by, and a head rolled down to Lin Fan's feet. It was an ugly head covered with yellow talismans.

Countless blood-stained yellow talismans were swept into the sky and then slowly fell back down. Immediately afterwards, the mountain of corpses began to slowly writhe, and those who had been dead rose up one after another.

"Heaven is dead."

"The Yellow Heaven shall rise."

"The year is Jiazi"

"Good luck to the world"
