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

When the lightning struck, Su Wanqing and Da Niu visibly paused.

"Just based on this lightning..." Su Wanqing began, but stopped midway through her sentence. The lightning was still flashing on her body, with black arcs of electricity occasionally appearing.

"This lightning is strange," Su Wanqing growled.

Lin Fan was stunned by this scene. Last time, Zhang Jiao's Five Thunder Orthodox Method was easily absorbed by this Shadow Devourer, but this time it was completely different. This thunder actually suppressed it.

When Lin Fan looked at Zhang Jiao, he noticed the completely different aura emanating from him.

Blue Domain 9-Star! Only one step away from advancing to Purple Domain!

"How could he improve so quickly!" Before Lin Fan could be happy for long, an even more ominous feeling rose in his heart.

The Zhang Jiao standing before him, with his back to him, seemed quite different from before.

At this moment, lightning surged in Zhang Jiao's hands, and thunderclouds seemed to appear in the sky. He made hand seals and chanted incantations, as if he were preparing an even more terrifying lightning spell.

"Old Zhang!" Lin Fan called out.

Zhang Jiao did not react at all.

"Old Zhang!"

There was still no response.

"Zhang Jiao!" Lin Fan called out for the third time, using a different title. This time, Zhang Jiao turned around, but in that instant, Lin Fan's heart sank completely.

He saw wisps of black energy emerging from Zhang Jiao's face, a sign of something sinister.

"This...when did it become so bizarre?!" Lin Fan instantly realized, "It's that mark, that thorny eye has opened!"

"Damn it!" Lin Fan cursed under his breath. Although Zhang Jiao had been promoted, he had lost control of him.

It's not worth trading a star upgrade for a Zhang Jiao who's gone out of control and become erratic!

Zhang Jiao's lightning magic didn't stop, and the terrifying pressure emanating from it surpassed any previous instance.

"We can't let him continue like this, otherwise Su Wanqing and Da Niu..."

Lin Fan's eyes turned cold, and his mental power surged out. Unlike the gentle guidance before, this time it was a complete suppression.

"Stop right there!" Under Lin Fan's control, Zhang Jiao seemed to regain some of his senses. He withdrew his lightning magic and returned to Lin Fan's hand as a beam of blue light.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Wanqing chuckled.

"Out of control? Well..." She paused, the arcs of electricity around her dissipating, and she gripped the dagger tightly in her hand. "Then it's my turn!"

The dagger flashed, its cold light piercing straight towards Lin Fan. At the same time, "Big Bull" beside him also moved, charging forward like a wild beast out of control.

They sealed Lin Fan off from the left and right.

Lin Fan's eyes turned cold, and he took out a card, activating it instantly.

【The Soul Reaper - White Impermanence】

"Clang..." The sound of the chain being dragged rang out, sending chills down one's spine.

A figure in a tall hat and white robe slowly appeared, and the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees as soon as he appeared.

Upon seeing Bai Wuchang, Su Wanqing and Da Niu's expressions were somewhat strange, it was unclear whether it was their reaction or the reaction of the 'Shadow Devourer'.

Lin Fan didn't give the 'Shadow Devourer' a chance to react. The next moment, he threw out the second card.

"The Underworld is open!"

"boom"

As the realm of the underworld expanded, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

An ancient and imposing checkpoint slowly appeared.

"The Gates of Hell! It's this thing again!"

"Shadow Devourer" exclaimed in surprise. He had witnessed the power of this thing when he first met Lin Fan. With this thing around, he had no way to escape.

"Don't even think about escaping again. This time, you... will die!" Lin Fan said coldly.

Bai Wuchang flicked the iron chain hidden in his sleeve and attacked the two people rushing towards him.

Da Niu was entangled in the iron chain and unable to move, but Su Wanqing, with her agile movements, managed to dodge the chain at the last moment.

She looked at Lin Fan with a cold gaze: "If it weren't for the frail bodies of you humans, I would definitely kill you!"

"What a pity!" Lin Fan paused, then continued, "You don't have a chance anymore."

The chains of the White Impermanence flew out again, but stopped three or four meters away from Su Wanqing.

At this moment, Su Wanqing was holding a knife to her own neck, and a bloody mark appeared on her neck.

"Don't move," Su Wanqing whispered with a laugh. "Let me out, or she'll die!"

The atmosphere froze instantly. Bai Wuchang looked at Lin Fan, seemingly waiting for his next instructions.

Lin Fan seemed taken aback for a moment, then his eyes turned cold as he said, "Do you think I care whether she lives or dies?"

Su Wanqing was visibly taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really?"

She tilted her head slightly, her voice tinged with amusement, "Then why don't you explain why there are so many photos of you on his phone?"

Su Wanqing took out her phone with her other hand and pointed the screen at Lin Fan.

One photo after another flashed by, and they were all photos of himself. The photos were taken from hidden angles, deliberately taken during the time he was out.

Lin Fan's pupils contracted, utterly shocked. "Why would she secretly film me? Could it be that she's been spying on me all along?"

Seeing the change in Lin Fan's expression, Su Wanqing laughed even harder, seemingly even more certain of the relationship between the two. She pressed the dagger down a little harder, and a few drops of blood dripped from her snow-white neck.

"I told you, as long as you let me out, I promise I won't kill her! Trading your little lover for me, that's a reasonable deal, isn't it!" 'Su Wanqing' said softly, but there was no hint of negotiation in her voice.

Lin Fan did not respond immediately; his eyes darted around as if he were weighing something.

Time passed slowly, and Su Wanqing grew somewhat impatient.

"So, after all this time I've had to think about it, have you come to a conclusion?"

Lin Fan slowly raised his head, the conflicted look on his face disappearing, replaced by a calm expression.

"Why don't you turn back and take a look first, then we can discuss what to do next?"

"Do you think I'd believe your tricks?" Su Wanqing sneered, not even turning her head, but continuing to press Lin Fan for answers.

"I'll give you three seconds. Either she dies, and we, Brother Dou, will fight to the death, or you let me go, and I'll let her go!" 'Su Wanqing' said.

Lin Fan still didn't answer, but just quietly looked at 'her'.

Su Wanqing's face showed a hint of unease, but she quickly suppressed it.

Su Wanqing began the countdown: "Three..."

"Two..." Su Wanqing's hand trembled slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

As if sensing something was amiss, but while she hesitated and struggled, Lin Fan suddenly spoke up: "One."

As the sound faded.

With a "clang," the dagger in Su Wanqing's hand fell to the ground.

Su Wanqing's eyes glazed over, and she collapsed to the ground, fast asleep!
