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

"Get out of here."

The Black King spoke calmly.

Da Niu swallowed hard. "Nobody can get past."

"Who do you think you are? I am the king, and you dare to stand in my way?" As he spoke, the black shadow beneath his feet began to writhe.

"Splash!"

A dozen or so pitch-black chains shot out from the shadows and attacked Da Niu.

Seeing this, Da Niu activated the cards in his hand one after another, and several beams of light lit up at the same time.

A heavy suit of armor instantly covered Da Niu's entire body. The chains slammed into it, sparks flying everywhere, and Da Niu was blasted back several steps.

But the next second, with the help of several ability cards, Da Niu suddenly exerted force with his legs and charged directly at Black King like a wild bull.

The long axe struck the Black King's shoulder with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, causing black blood to explode instantly, and the Black King's entire body was sent flying.

"Is this all the Ghost King's power? It doesn't seem like much!"

Da Niu stared at the Ghost King in front of him. The attack just now made him feel that there was not much difference between him and the Ghost King. He also seemed to realize that the Ghost King in front of him was not as strong as Su Wanqing had been when she dealt with the Ghost King before.

Just as he swung his long axe again, preparing to press his advantage,

Black King clutched his shoulder, his face contorted in pain, his eyes fixed intently on Big Bull.

"Damn it, damn it, why! Why did someone like you dare to hurt me? You should be afraid of me! I am the king now, the king!"

"I'll show you just how different you really are from the king!"

He roared, and the shadows on the ground writhed.

The next second, dozens of chains shot out instantly, moving so fast that they were almost invisible as afterimages.

The chains tore through the thick armor on the bull's body and pierced through its flesh.

"Pfft pfft pfft"

Fresh blood spurted out instantly.

In less than a breath, Da Niu's body was pierced by chains, and at that moment he seemed to be nailed to mid-air.

Even his armor could not withstand the terrifying attack and turned back into cards, shattering with a "crack".

Black King walked up to Big Bull and patted his face. "Now you know how powerful I am! Call me 'King,' and I'll give you a quick death!"

Da Niu was pierced by chains, but those chains strangely avoided his vital parts, which was obviously the Black King's doing.

Da Niu lowered his head, sweat mixed with blood dripping down his chin. He trembled all over, struggled to raise his head, stared intently at Hei Wang, and forced an extremely ugly smile.

"Get out...get out...you...good-for-nothing!"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" As the Black King's voice fell, the chains pierced back and forth, and soon the white bones on the bull's body were exposed.

"Will you talk or not? Will you talk or not!" Black King grabbed the bull's head with both hands, venting his dissatisfaction like a madman.

"Waste...thing..." Da Niu lowered his head, his voice was extremely weak, as if he would stop breathing completely at any moment.

Black King trembled all over; those two words were like knives piercing his ears.

His face contorted into a ferocious expression, and the next second, several chains rose from the shadows, their tips spinning and pointing directly at Da Niu's head.

"If you can't say it, then die!"

The chains suddenly shot out!

But in that instant, a cold glint flashed before the Black King's eyes.

"bite"

A dagger slammed into the chain, deflecting it slightly. The chain grazed Da Niu's head and slammed into the wall behind him.

"You think you're so capable of bullying someone who's about to die?"

Su Wanqing slowly stood up, supporting herself against the wall, and the card in her hand lit up again.

"Another one sent to die. Great, now someone can see just how strong I really am. I'm not trash, I'm the king!"

Black King covered his head, his body trembling slightly. He revealed an extremely strange smile, and his body began to change.

"Click"

The Black King's body emitted a cracking sound as his bones broke, his back bulged, and a plume of black mist billowed from it.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" His body began to writhe, as if something was forcibly crawling out of his body.

"Poof!" Black King's entire body suddenly exploded, and the flesh and blood quickly gathered in mid-air, gradually condensing into a huge figure.

As his size changed, the number of chains in his shadow also increased. Without pausing, those extra chains shot directly at Su Wanqing in the hall.

Su Wanqing's expression changed slightly, and she held her long sword horizontally in front of her.

"Clang clang clang!" The long sword collided with the chain, and countless sparks exploded continuously.

Su Wanqing kept retreating. She was already close to her limit, and now, facing the completely berserk Black King, she could only passively defend herself and had no chance to fight back.

With a "swoosh," a chain slashed across her shoulder, and soon after, several wounds appeared on her body, staining her clothes red with blood.

She gritted her teeth and continued to resist. She saved Da Niu not out of bravado, but simply because she didn't want to watch her companion die in front of her. That was all.

"puff!"

A chain bypassed the long sword and wrapped around her wrist, causing the sword to fly out of her hand.

Then several more chains wrapped around her, and in the blink of an eye, Su Wanqing was hanging in mid-air, blood dripping down the chains.

"Now that's settled, let's see if anyone still calls me trash." With that, he slowly raised his hand, and the tips of several chains were all aimed at the two men's heads, stabbing down quickly.

"Who gave you permission to touch my people?" A chilling voice came from the card-making room.

As soon as the words were spoken, the chains seemed to lose their function and quietly dissipated into a wisp of black mist.

The Black King saw that his shadow had been split into several pieces, and the chains that had grown from the shadow had also been broken into several sections.

Black King stood frozen in place.

The next second, a sharp pain shot through his body. He looked down and saw that there were no wounds on his body, but the pain still tormented him.

"Damn it, what's going on!" He turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

At that moment, a young man was thrusting a sword hilt at his shadow. He instinctively tried to stop him, but he lost control of his body.

"What did you do?" Black King's voice trembled, whether from pain or fear.

"Shadow Control!" Lin Fan said softly, holding the [Invisible Shadow], "Your shadow is so powerful, have you ever tried to be killed by your own shadow?"

Black King's body trembled violently. He tried to struggle, but to no avail. He could feel the power in his shadow being forcibly stripped away, beyond his control.

"Damn it, damn it, I am the king, I am..."

Lin Fan didn't give Black King a chance to speak. The shadow beneath Black King transformed into chains, their tips pointing inwards. Under Lin Fan's control, those chains shot towards Black King.

"Pfft pfft pfft"

The Black King's massive body was instantly riddled with thorns; Lin Fan showed no mercy, targeting vital points with his own.

The Black King transformed into a card and fell to the ground, and the hall fell silent once more.

Lin Fan glanced at the spot where the Black King had disappeared. "The Ghost King, is it really that weak?"
