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

The appearance of Red King Barton was different from that of the previous Ghost King. He did not appear in human form. He was wearing red armor with gold trim, and there were even several obvious cracks on the armor, indicating that he had been in battle before.

He held a knight's lance, on which were strung several human heads, and Wang Bo's wild imagination was clearly reflected.

"What, someone you know again?" Barton noticed Lin Fan's gaze. "Only those who can hurt me deserve to be on my spear."

Then, he looked at Lin Fan with a hint of amusement.

"However, you have survived to this day with the royal seal attached to you, and even those evil kings cannot do anything to you. I suppose your head is also worthy of being on my spear."

Lin Fan shifted his gaze from Wang Bo's head and looked at Red King Barton again.

Although Wang Bo wasn't exactly a good person and had been hiding quite a few things, Lin Fan, as the vice president of the Wanling Society, didn't believe he wouldn't have some means to protect himself.

Previously in the manor, Wang Bo was surrounded by more than a dozen Purple Domain level monsters and still managed to escape, but now Barton has directly chopped off his head.

He looked at the emotionless Red King before him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. The Cheng Ying sword, stuck in the ground, controlled the Purple Domain-level monster, which suddenly charged towards Barton.

Barton merely chuckled softly at this, without even making a move himself, simply waving his hand casually.

A purple-level monster standing beside him suddenly rushed out and blocked his way.

The two strange purple domains collided violently, sending out a surge of energy in all directions.

"Using my people against me, isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

Lin Fan ignored Barton. The strange creature under Cheng Ying's control could not reach its original strength. Soon, the strange creature under Cheng Ying's control was torn in two.

"Damn it!" Lin Fan cursed inwardly.

"If this is all you've got, you're not even worth my time!" Red King Barton chuckled, then raised his hand again, causing the eerie tide behind him to surge.

Lin Fan saw that the strange creatures, which had been almost completely wiped out, now seemed to have been replenished.

One after another, the eerie creatures surrounded Lin Fan again. Their eerie eyes were like those of hungry wolves eyeing a piece of meat. If Barton gave the order, they would rush up and tear him to pieces.

Upon seeing this, the prison guard roared and swung his long spear to shield Lin Fan behind him.

With each swing of the long spear, several of the closer-knit monsters were instantly blasted to pieces, their black mist exploding and transforming into cards.

At this moment, Barton slowly spoke, lifting the knight's lance with one hand, his eyes slightly narrowed beneath his blood-red helmet.

"Come, let me see what qualifications those chosen by the royal seal have to have survived until now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange creatures surrounding Lin Fan swarmed forward, with those at the forefront being those of the Green Domain and Blue Domain levels.

Even if Lin Fan wanted to control Cheng Ying and the strange creature, he didn't have many options for the time being. Under Barton's supervision, the strange creature launched attacks in a regular and predictable manner.

After killing just a few monsters, Zhenyu Jiang was covered in several hideous wounds.

And so, the prison general held on for a few more breaths before finally turning into a card and shattering completely.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan patted his pockets, trying to find some usable cards, but only then did he realize...

Currently, besides Zhang Jiao, I seem to only have one material card for He Jin. The other cards can't even be combined into anything.

Under these circumstances, it is obviously inappropriate to make He Jin. Card making should be done in a relatively quiet environment, but now the surroundings are full of strange things.

Most importantly, he didn't have the time to make the card. He didn't even need to wait for the strange creatures around him to engrave He Jin's name into the blank card before they could kill him a hundred times over.

Lin Fan wielded Cheng Ying, relentlessly slashing at the eerie shadows, causing them to momentarily freeze.

Unable to endure the mental torment, many of the supernatural beings chose to explode and die, but this only restricted the progress of those supernatural beings with extremely strong mental power.

"Is this all the holder of the Royal Seal is capable of?"

Barton looked at Lin Fan, who was surrounded by the strange tide, and the last trace of interest in his eyes gradually disappeared.

In his view, there was no need to continue watching what was happening before him.

Lin Fan was forced to retreat continuously, and even the Prison Guardian was gone. In this situation, it was no different from waiting to die.

"Waste of time, kill him and bring me the royal seal." He casually waved his hand, gave an order to the eerie creature beside him, and then walked into the villa.

Upon hearing the Ghost King's command, the several Purple Domain level creatures beside Barton glared fiercely at Lin Fan and then attacked him together.

Even if Lin Fan could control just one of the monsters, he would still be doomed if all of them attacked at the same time.

"Boom!" Thunderclouds surged in the sky, and several bolts of lightning struck down around Lin Fan. Those strange creatures that approached were instantly reduced to ashes, without even a chance to be turned into cards.

Immediately afterwards, a deep voice echoed through the manor.

"The rain of talismans draws the soul." The next moment, raindrops began to fall from beneath the thunderclouds, but upon closer inspection, the rain was actually made of talisman paper.

The rain of talismans fell, and when it touched something eerie, it mysteriously dissipated.

The monsters that pounced on Lin Fan didn't even notice anything; a monster with bloodshot eyes and a violent nature bit them from the side.

"Pfft!" A strange creature suddenly pounced out and bit off the neck of the creature next to it.

The other strange creature plunged its claws directly into the chest of its companion.

In an instant, the entire strange tide was thrown into complete chaos.

The strange creatures that had been charging madly towards Lin Fan now began to fight each other.

Those strange creatures that weren't attached to the talisman were indistinguishable from those that were still of the same kind and those that had already been manipulated.

Barton looked at the talismans that kept falling from the sky. At first, he didn't pay much attention to them because the talismans would be shattered by the blood energy on his body when they got close to the edge of his body.

But he soon realized something was wrong. The strange sound behind him seemed a bit off. At this moment, there should only be Lin Fan's screams, not the continuous eerie roars.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Lin Fan, his eyes, hidden beneath the helmet, suddenly narrowed.

Lin Fan was still standing there. Of the three Purple Domain level monsters that were originally beside him, only one remained. But it stood quietly in front of Lin Fan, blocking the monsters that would occasionally rush forward.

"Hmm?" His gaze searched the room for the other two strange traces, but he couldn't find them. They seemed to have vanished into thin air.

What made him even more uneasy was the yellow-robed figure behind Lin Fan. Lightning flashed on the yellow-robed Taoist from time to time, and his aura was extremely familiar to Barton.

"The aura of the royal seal?"
