Chapter 187

"The rebel faction lost a Divine General—that's a huge loss."

However,

he was afraid that this guy, Divine Cao Cao, might be a traitor,

if that were the case,

then Divine Zhou Yu wouldn't be able to draw the card to finish off the rebel,

in which case, Divine Zhou Yu would also most likely not survive the remaining rebels' attacks this round,

most likely perishing together with them.

The Yuan Shao player sighed,

but he also understood,

if there was to be any hope of winning,

he had to do it this way.

Otherwise, when Divine Cao Cao's turn came,

he could slash his way from the second seat all the way to the first seat in one wave,

hacking his lord to death on the spot!

Jie Zhang Jiao watched Divine Cao Cao being swallowed by the sea of flames,

his heart burning with anxiety,

"It's over, it's over,"

"if only I hadn't struck down the big shot."

"If I hadn't, there might still be a chance to save him."

Most of the players present had only one or two cards left in hand,

Jie Zhang Jiao, Wolong Zhuge, and Guan Yu—the three rebel faction members who wanted to save him—

were all willing but powerless.

The Guan Yu player looked at Gu Xuan,

at this moment,

he even felt the rebel faction was at a disadvantage,

after all, the loyalist side had a Xun Yu who could at any time refill Divine Zhou Yu's and the lord's hands.

Thinking of this, the Guan Yu player couldn't help but mutter discontentedly:

"If I knew I was going to die, you shouldn't have taken my Zhuge Crossbow."

"Why not leave it for me?"

"I still had a chance to cut Yuan Shao down."

The Wolong Zhuge player, though he said nothing,

felt the same way in his heart.

The Xun Yu player, meanwhile, breathed a sigh of relief,

his eyes grateful as he looked at Divine Zhou Yu, and he laughed as he remarked:

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness our side has a Divine General big shot too."

Otherwise, one touch from Divine Cao Cao,

and he'd have to draw a hand of cards,

that would be way too outrageous,

with just him and Yuan Shao together,

they simply couldn't fight.

Divine Zhou Yu also breathed a sigh of relief,

however,

the next moment,

he suddenly noticed,

that Gu Xuan, seated in the third position, didn't have the slightest hint of frustration on his face,

the corners of his mouth even curling into a faint, barely perceptible smile!

"Could it be?"

A sudden premonition of dread rose in Divine Zhou Yu's heart,

the next moment,

that premonition seemed to become reality.

Within the towering sea of flames that had swallowed Divine Cao Cao's phantom,

a flash of green vitality suddenly surged forth,

"Wine!"

Accompanied by a card being played,

the Yuan Shao player, who had been excited a moment ago,

suddenly froze, the smile vanishing from his face,

"Peach."

The second heart heal card was played,

and the Xun Yu player could no longer laugh either.

"Peach!"

The third Peach card was played,

a thick plume of green mist drifted over the body of Divine Cao Cao,

extinguishing the towering flames of karma,

at the same time,

Divine Cao Cao waved the Teng Snake Scepter he held in his hand,

and pointed straight ahead,

instantly,

a golden light phantom surging with imperial qi erupted from the scepter,

suppressing the phantom images of the other generals, including Divine Zhou Yu,

rendering them dim and lifeless!

"Seize the Son of Heaven to command the vassals; grasp the imperial edict to rule the four directions!"

【Return of the Heart】 activated!

Divine Cao Cao flipped over and drew cards again!

This skill activation

made the already scarce hand cards of the players on the field

even more meager,

Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, and Sleeping Dragon Zhuge each had only one card left,

while Zhang Jiao and Deng Ai's hand cards

were reduced directly to zero.

As for Divine Zhou Yu,

he had no cards to begin with,

so Gu Xuan could not draw from him.

"The Duke of Zhou spits out his food; the world returns its heart!"

【Return of the Heart】 activated a second time,

Divine Cao Cao flipped back to his front side,

and drew clean the single remaining card from the hands of the three players: Yuan Shao, Xun Yu, and Sleeping Dragon Zhuge!

From this point on,

the other seven players had empty hands!

Only Gu Xuan held a terrifying number of cards, reaching a total of 28!!

Plus, when the next turn begins,
