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

Bai Wuchang also realized what was happening at this moment, raised the mourning staff in his hand, and a dark gray light flew out from it.

White Impermanence: [Mourning Staff - Summoning the Soul]

The "soul guide" that was originally formed from the female water ghost transformed into a hanging ghost the size of a head at this moment.

The thing was entirely grayish-white, with an imperceptible thin rope wrapped around its neck, which was connected to a mourning staff, seemingly preventing it from escaping.

Its mouth split open to the back of its head, emitting a sharp sound that indiscriminately pierced the eardrums of everyone present.

"squeak"

The sound waves exploded beside the pool, creating ripples on the water's surface.

The vengeful spirit in the pool was startled by the howling sound, and its mouth, which was biting Lin Fan's shoulder, suddenly loosened. It stared intently at the hanging ghost, and water plants surged from its hand, trying to grab the annoying little thing.

The hanged ghost floated in the air, nimbly dodging, giving the vengeful spirit in the pool no chance at all.

"roar"

The vengeful spirit in the pool let out a low growl, its eyes filled with venom as it looked at Bai Wuchang, who was controlling the hanging ghost. It then turned its attack towards Bai Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang used an iron chain to block, tearing the water plants into pieces, but it couldn't hurt him at all.

"Old Bai, well done."

Lin Fan said in a hoarse voice.

He gritted his teeth and pressed his left hand tightly against the wound, but the bleeding showed no sign of stopping.

Blood seeped from between his fingers, trickling down his arm, drop by drop, onto the ground.

Qin Muyao finally came to her senses, tossed her phone aside, and rushed forward to support him, her voice trembling slightly: "You...your shoulder..."

Qin Muyao looked at his injured shoulder, which was caused by her, and her eyes reddened, with a mist of tears welling up in them.

"It's nothing!" Lin Fan took a deep breath and forced an awkward smile at Qin Muyao.

"Watch how Bai Wuchang beats it up." Lin Fan turned his head, his gaze fixed on the vengeful spirit in the pool.

As expected, Bai Wuchang did not disappoint him.

"Bang!"

The mourning stick whistled through the air as it slammed down hard on the shoulder of the vengeful spirit in the pool.

The vengeful spirit in the pool let out a scream, the mud on its shoulders flying everywhere. Its body bent, its knees unable to withstand the pressure, and it crashed to the ground.

The White Impermanence showed no sign of stopping there. The iron chain slipped from his sleeve and coiled around the vengeful spirit's body like a snake, tightening suddenly.

The vengeful spirit, which had been kneeling on the ground, was now completely bound and collapsed to the ground while struggling.

"It's locked!" Qin Muyao exclaimed, her voice tinged with excitement. She leaned Lin Fan against a tree and then picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground.

Bullet comments:

[White Impermanence MVP]

Why did the streamer just leave us there?

What just happened?

[What perspective? I can only see that vengeful spirit.]

Qin Muyao picked up her phone and aimed it at the screen.

The comments started popping up again:

The streamer is finally back!

Is Xiao Hei alright?

Something seems off about Bai Wuchang (the White Impermanence).

[What is Bai Wuchang...?]

Qin Muyao, who was originally watching the live chat, turned her attention to the battlefield when she saw a large number of comments saying "Something's wrong with Bai Wuchang".

The iron chains that were originally wrapped around the vengeful spirit in the pool showed signs of slipping off as the mud fell from its body.

Meanwhile, Bai Wuchang's figure became blurry, as if due to insufficient spiritual energy supply.

"Are you alright?" Qin Muyao immediately looked at Lin Fan. There was only one possibility for this situation: the card master was not in good condition.

"It's alright, it's not a big problem!" Lin Fan said. Qin Muyao quickly came to his side and saw that he was covered in sweat, which seemed to indicate that he lacked mental strength.

She groped around on Lin Fan for a while, took out the mental recovery fluid, and poured it directly into Lin Fan's mouth before he could refuse.

"Cough, cough, cough." Lin Fan coughed a few times. "This mental recovery fluid has been wasted!"

"How could it be a waste? Look!" Qin Muyao turned her head to look at Bai Wuchang, who was still in a blurry state.

The mental recovery fluid really didn't work!

Before Qin Muyao could figure out where the problem was,

The vengeful spirit in the pool let out a roar and suddenly grabbed the iron chain, pulling it back violently.

Bai Wuchang was dragged forward, staggering. He tried to steady himself, but his strength wouldn't allow it.

"Oh no!" Lin Fan shouted immediately, "Old Bai, let go!"

But it was too late. The vengeful spirit dragged Bai Wuchang in front of him and struck him squarely in the chest with its claw.

"Bang!"

The White Impermanence was sent flying, and several black marks appeared on his white robe.

Bai Wuchang groaned, staggered to his feet, glanced at the wound on his chest, and then turned to look at Lin Fan.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes, because the card master's condition directly affected the card spirit, and the card spirit could also sense the card master's current condition.

At this moment, Lin Fan's face was frighteningly pale, and even his lips had lost their rosy color, becoming somewhat dark.

Lin Fan pressed his hand firmly against the wound, and the skin around the wound began to turn black, even the blood showed signs of darkening.

Qin Muyao, who was standing nearby, noticed this as well and, ignoring the people in the live stream, put her phone down again.

"You...you're...poisoned! What do we do!" Qin Muyao cried out in distress, only then realizing that the vengeful spirit's mouth contained poison.

The reason why Bai Wuchang became ethereal was not because Lin Fan lacked mental power, but because he was in a state where he could not use his mental power at all.

"It's alright, I've already contacted the Card Association. Now, as long as we deal with this vengeful spirit, everything will be fine!"

Lin Fan smiled at Qin Muyao and waved the help locator in front of her to reassure her.

"You're... like this..." Qin Muyao said haltingly, her voice trembling with tears.

"Don't cry, I don't know how to comfort you." Lin Fan said with a forced smile as he looked at Qin Muyao, who was crying her eyes out.

"Hold on a little longer..." he said through gritted teeth, in a voice only he could hear.

He dug his left hand into the wound, and the intense pain instantly brought him to his senses.

"Old Bai, don't hold back!" Lin Fan shouted as he looked at Bai Wuchang, whose figure was gradually solidifying.

A cold glint flashed in Bai Wuchang's eyes. He swung the iron chain again, this time not to bind, but to stab it straight at the vengeful spirit's chest.

【Iron Chains - Soul Suppressor】

The iron chain transformed into a black blade, piercing through the vengeful spirit's body, and a phantom was slowly pulled out by the chain.

The vengeful spirit let out a roar, its body suddenly stiffening. It looked down at the iron chain piercing its chest without the slightest hesitation.

He stretched out his hands and gripped the chain tightly, forcibly keeping the illusory image of the chain's end inside his body.

Bai Wuchang was dragged forward again, and his once solid form became blurred once more.

That's because Lin Fan's breath was gradually weakening. He wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he fell backward.

At that moment, Bai Wuchang transformed into a beam of light and returned to Lin Fan's hand.

"Wake up!" Qin Muyao cried loudly while holding Lin Fan, completely unaware of the approaching vengeful spirit in the pool.
