Chapter 223

The earth quaked, and a deafening elephant-trumpet sound rang out from the void,

Jie Zhou Yu wasn't killed,

but took the brunt of a slash from the Southern Barbarian phantom,

"Splat!"

The last vivid drop of blood burst apart along with the barbarian's laughter,

Jie Zhou Yu's HP dropped to negative one.

"Decisive killing, leaving no future trouble!!"

At the same time,

the skill 【Annihilation】 activated!

The Xu Rong phantom let out a wild laugh,

and tapped toward the hand-card zone in front of Gu Xuan,

The card that had already transformed into a Southern Barbarian phantom

returned once more to Gu Xuan's hand!

Moreover,

the 【Violence】 markers on the Xu Rong phantom, originally down to two,

had now returned to three!

"Peach!"

Jie Zhou Yu hurriedly played a Peach to recover HP,

but it still wasn't enough,

"Another two drops of blood?!"

The Jie Zhou Yu player was now completely panicked,

and looked at every player at the table with a pleading gaze,

Seat Five's Jie Hua Tuo looked toward Jie Zhou Yu,

hesitated for a moment,

then tossed out a Heart card,

Seat Three's Xu Rong, who didn't use Duel on the Lord and instead blindly killed the person beside him,

was very likely not a Rebel,

Liu Shan was already a Loyalist,

so at this point, Jie Zhou Yu was very likely his Rebel teammate,

if they didn't save him,

once Jie Zhou Yu died,

Gu Xuan would draw three cards,

and the next unlucky one would be him.

"Healing the wounded and rescuing the dying, hanging a pot to aid the world,"

【First Aid】 activated,

a faint green mist drifted out from the Hua Tuo phantom's hands,

in the air,

the instant fragrance of medicinal herbs spread out,

Jie Zhou Yu also escaped his near-death state at the same moment,

his HP recovered to one.

"Thanks, brother!"

Jie Zhou Yu thanked Seat Five gratefully,

but little did he expect,

to see Gu Xuan beside him looking at him with a rather odd expression:

"Saving someone under Xu Rong's nose…"

Heh.

Playing Xu Rong, you love meeting these kinds of good people the most!

Freely delivering markers and cards to him,

truly a great good person!

Jie Zhou Yu looked at Gu Xuan in confusion,

and the moment their eyes met,

a sudden, extreme unease welled up in his heart…

But,

he had already self-detonated!

Could it be,

after taking four drops of his HP,

it still wasn't enough?!

This is nothing yet,

the interesting part is still to come.

Gu Xuan read the meaning in Jie Zhou Yu's eyes, his gaze playful.

He looked at the "Southern Barbarian Invasion" card that had returned to his hand,

waiting for the damage resolution of the other players on the field.

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

"Unstoppable!"

………………

After all, it was the first "Southern Barbarian Invasion,"

and the players on the field would have "Slash" cards in their hands, more or less.

Even if they didn't have "Slash,"

upon seeing the miserable state of the Jie Zhou Yu player,

they would play "Unstoppable" without hesitation,

to avoid being left with low health.

Once the response time for everyone on the field ended,

apart from Lord No. 1, Jie Sun Quan, losing one health point,

the other players had only lost a single card.

Seeing this situation,

Gu Xuan curled the corners of his mouth.

The first round of "Southern Barbarian Invasion" had passed.

Among these players, very few still had "Slash" cards in hand.

After all, except for a few specific generals, who would draw a hand full of "Slash" cards?

He scanned the players on the field,

especially looking at Jie Hua Tuo, Jie Sun Shangxiang, and Liu Shan, these three three-health fragile characters 0....

Jie Hua Tuo,

who had just saved Jie Zhou Yu,

was probably a Rebel too.

Once he killed him later,

he would draw three more cards!

As for Jie Sun Shangxiang,

she was just a bonus target.

If she was a Rebel, he would profit.
