Chapter 162

~8 min read 1,458 words

The moment the [Spade Slash] entered the discard pile,

A grand electronic voice echoed from behind Gu Xuan:

. ...... 0

"Heaven and Earth work together; why fear that the Han way shall not flourish!"

The [Spade Slash] shattered,

Transforming into wisps of firelight,

Which converged upon the sword of Divine Jiang Wei.

The [Heavenly Appointment] skill activated,

And the mark count became 2!

The Boundary Huang Gai player glanced at Gu Xuan,

But didn't pay it much mind.

As Boundary Huang Gai’s health points drained away,

The skill [Feigned Surrender] activated!

"Before the two armies, I do not behead a surrendering general!"

With a roar from Boundary Huang Gai,

Three cards flew from the deck into Boundary Huang Gai’s hand area.

Looking at the seven cards in hand,

The Boundary Huang Gai player directly discarded a Diamond Slash,

Targeting Boundary Wang Yi,

"Slash!"

The Boundary Wang Yi player glanced at him,

And activated the skill [Chastity and Ardor]!

"Though I am but a woman, I shall still put up a fight!"

She lost one health point to cancel being the target of this Slash,

And simultaneously discarded one of Boundary Huang Gai’s cards!

The Boundary Wang Yi player shifted her intent,

Discarding one of Boundary Huang Gai’s hand cards;

It was an Indestructible.

"Lifting stones to mend the heavens, if not I, then who!"

Another electronic voice rang out,

Firelight gathered at the sword,

And the [Heavenly Appointment] mark on Gu Xuan reached three points!

"Slash!"

The Boundary Huang Gai player played another Red Slash.

The Lord in the first position watched him, teeth gritted;

This was forcing her to lose a massive amount of health right at the start!

But,

No matter how angry she was, it was useless.

Boundary Huang Gai’s Red Slash was a forced hit; if she didn't lose health to discard his card,

She would have to take the damage anyway.

"Clack!"

Boundary Wang Yi lost another health point,

"To wash away past shame, I spare not my own body!"

The Boundary Wang Yi player discarded another of Boundary Huang Gai’s hand cards;

It was a Heart Dodge.

"Heaven and Earth work together; why fear that the Han way shall not flourish!"

Just as the Boundary Wang Yi player had expected,

That electronic voice from the second position resounded across the field once more.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Xuan;

So, while she and Boundary Huang Gai were fighting it out here,

There was another player sitting back and reaping the rewards, right!

Simply outrageous!

"Eh?!"

It was fine not to look,

But one look was shocking.

The Boundary Wang Yi player rubbed her eyes,

Looking at Gu Xuan’s health points in disbelief.

"Number three... how did your health limit suddenly increase by one?"

"And you have two more cards in hand too?!!"

…………Righteousness.

Just a moment ago,

The [Heavenly Appointment] mark on Gu Xuan’s general card reached four points,

Triggering the Heavenly Appointment skill.

Removing the four Heavenly Appointment marks,

Divine Jiang Wei increased his health limit by one,

And drew two extra cards!

Boundary Wang Yi was on the verge of tears.

Why was it that while she was fighting the rebels to the death,

Losing two health points,

This guy hadn't done a thing,

And yet directly gained a health limit and drew two cards?!

Is this the gap between a Divine General and an ordinary general?!

It’s this absurd right at the start?

What will it be like later on?!

…………

In the livestream room,

The crowd of spectators,

Seeing the look on Boundary Wang Yi’s face as if she’d eaten dung,

Couldn't help but laugh.

"The moment the big boss pulled out a Divine General, you should have realized things were going south!"

"Haha, this big boss's general, while others are fighting, he's picking up benefits from the sidelines, it’s making my stomach ache from laughing."

"Divine Jiang Wei: Dismantle, dismantle more, the more the better!"

"That said, do you guys know how the big boss suddenly increased his health limit? I didn't even understand the skill."

"It must be related to discarding cards. Just now, I saw that as soon as Boundary Wang Yi discarded Boundary Huang Gai’s card, the big boss’s mark increased by one.

After it reached four, the marks cleared, the health limit increased, and he drew two cards."

"The person above is right, I noticed that too."

"What are the restrictions on this skill? It can't just be that every time the marks reach four, he gets a limit increase and draws cards, right?"

"Keep watching, there must be restrictive conditions."

…………

The Boundary Huang Gai player was also stunned at this moment.

How could he discard so many cards,

And yet someone else gets to draw cards?

Isn't this just taking advantage of others?

The Boundary Huang Gai player snorted coldly at Gu Xuan in dissatisfaction,

And ended his turn.

Fortunately, his hand cards were exactly equal to his health points,

So he didn't need to discard any cards,

Otherwise,

If he had to discard one in a moment,

Number three would be stacking marks and picking up benefits again!

It was Gu Xuan’s turn in the third position.

At this moment,

The Lord in the first position,

As well as the other players,

Were all watching him,

Because,

Judging by the skills shown just now,

Gu Xuan’s Divine General was already powerful enough to be evident.

Others had only discarded four cards,

And he had already gained a health limit,

And drawn two extra cards.

In an eight-player military game, the number of discarded cards wouldn't be small.

If this continued, wouldn't Divine Jiang Wei’s health limit reach the heavens?

Now,

During Divine Jiang Wei’s play phase,

They could roughly judge which faction he belonged to,

Which would very likely affect the outcome of this match!

Under the gaze of the other seven players,

Gu Xuan glanced at his hand cards,

And equipped a Green Steel Sword.

At the same time,

On his general card,

Another [Nine Expeditions] mark appeared.

"??" The Boundary Wang Yi player tilted her head and spread her hands.

She hadn't even figured out the specific effect of the previous mark,

How could there be another one?

What skill was this mark for?

However,

Before she could think too much,

Gu Xuan began to play his cards again.

"Southern Barbarian Invasion!"

"ROAR!!!" Along with the use of this Southern Barbarian Invasion,

Behind every player,

A roar of a giant white-tusked elephant, as if from the wilderness, sounded simultaneously.

Boundary Sun Sun Shangxiang in the fourth position bore the brunt.

Facing the blades of the barbarians,

The Boundary Sun Sun Shangxiang player’s expression remained unchanged,

And she calmly played a Slash.

"Lifting stones to mend the heavens, if not I, then who!"

At the same time,

Divine Jiang Wei’s Heavenly Appointment skill activated!

[Heavenly Appointment] mark +1!

"Does playing a Slash also stack marks for him?"

The Boundary Wang Yi player looked at Gu Xuan with confusion,

Puzzled in her heart.

Then why,

When she played a Slash at Boundary Huang Gai, or when Boundary Huang Gai played a Slash at her,

Did Gu Xuan not stack any marks?

Gu Xuan also noticed Boundary Wang Yi’s confused gaze,

However,

He had no intention of explaining.

If one were to really explain this,

It would require splitting hairs.

Divine Jiang Wei’s skill is that if others’ basic cards or ordinary strategy cards do not enter the discard pile due to being used,

Then marks can be stacked.

When the Southern Barbarian Invasion strategy card is thrown out,

Other players use Slashes to resist the damage,

Which all counts as playing a Slash.

The played basic cards enter the discard pile, so naturally, they are recorded as marks.

Immediately after,

Lu Xun in the fifth position, Boundary Guan Yu in the sixth, Boundary Da Qiao in the seventh, and Boundary Cao Ren in the eighth,

All played a Slash.

"Heaven and Earth work together; why fear that the Han way shall not flourish!"

"Lifting stones to mend the heavens, if not I, then who!"

…………

A series of electronic sounds accompanied the played "Slashes."

When Boundary Cao Ren in the eighth position played the fifth Slash,

Gu Xuan’s [Heavenly Appointment] marks had already reached five points!

"Heaven and Earth work together; why fear that the Han way shall not flourish!!"

Green light emerged from Divine Jiang Wei’s health points,

And subsequently,

His health limit changed from five points to six!

Immediately following,

Two cards from the top of the deck flew out,

And landed in Gu Xuan’s hand!

"One Southern Barbarian Invasion, and the benefit is this high?!!"

The Boundary Guan Yu player at this moment,
