Chapter 311
Now that there is an opportunity,
the Xu Sheng player naturally wants to strike first and nip this uncertainty
in the bud!
The identities and factions on the field are now quite clear.
The Sun Sun Shangxiang player is definitely a loyalist.
Among Guan Yu and Cao Ren, one is a renegade and the other is a loyalist.
As for the other players, including Gu Xuan, they are all rebels.
As long as he kills Gu Xuan,
he can immediately draw three cards!
He pulls the Slash from his hand area,
and just as he is about to target Gu Xuan,
the Xu Sheng player discovers
that Gu Xuan's general card is still black!
"The distance is still not enough?!"
The Xu Sheng player looks at Gu Xuan with suspicion.
Just how much initial distance did this guy's general skill add to him?
He has already equipped the treasure blade,
and his attack range is already two.
How can he still not reach him?!
Doesn't that mean Gu Xuan's initial general skill added at least three points to his distance?!
"Forget it, no rush..."
The Xu Sheng player takes a deep breath.
Since he can't reach Gu Xuan now,
killing the Li Ru player in position three is the same!
He can still draw three cards!
Thus,
the Xu Sheng player changes the target of the Slash in his hand,
pointing it once again at the Li Ru player in position two!
"Behind this natural barrier of the Yangtze River lies the Iron Wall of Jiangdong!"
The Slash is targeted.
The phantom of Xu Sheng holds the treasure blade,
a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
He grips the blade with both hands, raises it above his head,
and slashes straight toward the phantom of Li Ru in position three!
The skill [Army Breaker] is triggered!
The two remaining cards in the Li Ru player's hand
are both placed face-down on his general card!
"Why are you attacking me again?"
The Li Ru player's face turns pale.
He had finally managed to get an epic general, and he hadn't even had enough fun yet!
Is he going to be finished just like that?
The strike lands,
blood fills the sky,
and all three points of the Li Ru player's health
are wiped out!
"Manic Slaughter!!!"
The impassioned announcement from the game space rings out.
0 .. 0
The rescue progress bar appears.
None of the players on the field
play a Peach,
and the Li Ru player is eliminated instantly!
"Is this, the so-called retribution..."
The phantom of Li Ru shatters,
and three cards fly out from the draw pile,
replenishing the hand area of the "Great Treasure."
"Peach!"
A Peach is used by the Xu Sheng player,
and his health
is restored to three points.
The Xu Sheng player also equips a +1 Horse,
and only then does he discard a card, keep three, and end his turn!
The prompt from the game space,
after his turn ends,
falls upon Gu Xuan.
The Xu Sheng player watches Gu Xuan without blinking.
He wants to see,
what exactly is the skill of Gu Xuan's divine general!
In the preparation phase,
Gu Xuan's
hand limit has already reached as many as twelve cards!
He fully meets the awakening conditions for Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo!
"Clang~~"
A sound like a great temple bell rings out from the void of the competition venue,
sending ripples through the void.
In this instant,
the players on the field suddenly notice that their vision seems much brighter.
This feeling is like suddenly placing a powered-on 100-watt light bulb on the ceiling of a dim room at night.
They all look up toward the sky,
where
a crack-like opening hangs in the center of the sky!
Through the opening,
one can vaguely see the scene inside:
golden dragons and immortal cranes dancing and circling, as if twelve palaces cast from white jade stand within!
Celestial light appears suddenly,
and golden light spills down from the firmament,
bathing the phantom of Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo!
The Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Dress lights up with one complex immortal script after another, echoing it.
Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo's skirt flutters,
and boundless clear Qi rises from her pristine soles.
With a "Whoosh!"
she turns into purple light and vanishes,
leaving only ethereal immortal music echoing in the competition venue.
"Welcomed by the Dragon Crane Immortal, riding the smoke into the Jade Capital!"
... perish.
"Ascended?!?"
The Xu Sheng player watches the phantom of Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo, which was just hovering in mid-air,
suddenly "whoosh" into the heavenly palace and disappear.
His mouth hangs wide open,
and for a moment, he doesn't know what to say.
It is his first time seeing
a player whose general phantom flies away
in the middle of a match!
"Holy crap, so cool!! Riding the wind to ascend, Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo is absolutely gorgeous!!"
"This general of the big boss must be a true immortal-realm general, right? The phantom even flew into the heavenly palace!"
"I was wondering earlier why the boss wasn't using skills. Was it because after every player's turn in the previous round, Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo got further from the ground just to awaken and ascend?"
"I always feel that even if the game space makes the breakthrough generals free, even if other players get the Great Treasure,
the outcome is still a foregone conclusion when playing against the boss."
"Indeed, after all, the Great Treasure is at most a hellish general... but compared to an immortal-realm general, the gap is still too large..."
... "910" ...
"Even the general phantom has flown away, can she still use skills?"
The Xu Sheng player looks at Gu Xuan,
but the latter does not reply.
He has already awakened,
[Refuge] has disappeared,
and he has gained the skill [Immortal Art]!
In the draw phase,
Gu Xuan draws two more cards from the draw pile.
"Is there a 'Nothingness'?"
Gu Xuan glances at his hand,
and his eyes light up.
You see, with Immortal Art,
for every non-virtual trick card or basic card resolved,
Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo can discard a card to treat it as having used that card!
In this way,
one "Nothingness" card can be used as two!
"Nothingness!"
He throws out a trick card,
and in an instant,
the golden card splits into two,
and two more cards appear in Gu Xuan's hand area.
Afterward,
Gu Xuan discards a Slash,
triggering the skill [Immortal Art]!
Above the void,
the crack in the firmament still exists.
Inside, in the heavenly palace, a female immortal figure
leans against a jade chair,
and as she speaks softly,
ethereal immortal music resonates throughout the competition space!
"Reach the ultimate emptiness, keep the stillness firm; all things flourish, and I watch their return."
The Daoist music is unpredictable,
and the Slash Gu Xuan threw out
instantly splits into two, just like the Nothingness card, turning into two new golden cards that fall back into Gu Xuan's hand area.
It split into two, transforming into two new golden cards, which fell back into Gu Xuan's hand area.
"What the hell?!"
"Converting trick cards?"
Seeing this, the Xu Sheng player in position one
cannot help but frown.
Another card-copying general.
So, in the previous round,
was this general, Divine Wolong Zhuge Guo,
preparing to awaken? Is this card-copying skill her post-awakening skill?
Just like Du Yu?
"All these card-copying generals, except for Xun You, are so shameless!"
The Xu Sheng player sighs.
Among the few known card-copying epic generals in the game space,
Du Yu, Divine Guo Jia,
which one isn't top-tier disgusting?
However,
this kind of card-copying skill
should only be usable once per turn,
and as long as he doesn't copy delayed trick cards like 'Le Bu Si Shu',
he isn't afraid!
Just as he is thinking this, he hears Gu Xuan's joyful voice from the side:
"Another Nothingness?"
Xu Sheng player: ??
He turns his head and looks at Gu Xuan with a confused expression.
The latter
has already, without hesitation,
started playing cards again.
"Nothingness!"
The golden card
splits into two once again.
