Chapter 488

As expected,

just as Gu Xuan had predicted,

the Jie Sun Quan player had no Slash in hand,

the Green Dragon Crescent Blade flew from Jie Sun Quan's equipment zone,

and landed in Gu Xuan's hand.

Gu Xuan equipped this weapon card,

then,

threw out another Strategy card,

"Cross the River and Demolish the Bridge!"

"Crack!"

the +1 Horse in Jie Sun Quan player's equipment zone was dismantled.

Gu Xuan did not choose to dismantle the Eight Trigrams Array.

Although he now had a weapon,

he still needed to close the distance first, to prevent Jie Sun Quan from using Balance next turn to obtain another Cross the River and Demolish the Bridge and then dismantle his weapon again.

He currently held three Slash cards and a Wine card in hand,

as long as he kept two,

even if he drew no Slash next turn,

he could still cover Jie Sun Quan's cards twice in a row,

and need not fear the Eight Trigrams Array.

With Jie Sun Quan's +1 Horse dismantled,

Gu Xuan used another Slash, targeting the Jie Sun Quan player.

This Slash was not intended to deal damage,

but purely to test whether he could drain Jie Sun Quan's hand,

reducing the benefit of his Balance skill.

"Whoosh!"

the phantom of the Eight Trigrams Array flickered,

the top card of the deck was flipped,

【Plum Blossom Slash】,

the judgment failed.

The Jie Sun Quan player helplessly discarded a Dodge,

to avoid the damage.

However,

Gu Xuan was not in the slightest hurry and did not play a second Slash.

He needed to keep two Slash cards,

in case he drew none next turn.

Now he had a Wine and two Slash in hand; next turn he would transform into Great Bao to cover cards,

unless Jie Sun Quan's luck was heaven-defying,

otherwise,

he would only be eliminated.

Discarding a Dodge,

he kept the Wine and four hand cards obtained from the 【Luo Shen】 skill: 【Slash, Slash, Dodge, Peach】.

Gu Xuan ended his turn.

During the end phase,

the Jie Zhen Ji behind Gu Xuan,

once again transformed into a scattering of mist,

"He who opposes the Righteous Heaven cannot prevail; though flourishing, decline is inevitable!"

The 【Transform】 skill activated once more!

"Father, father! Watch what Chong'er does!"

a childish voice rang out,

as Jie Zuo Ci transformed once again into Cao Chong.

Jie Sun Quan, his face turning iron-green, watched this scene,

but could do nothing about it.

After drawing his cards,

he glanced at the cards in his hand,

and felt even more despair in his heart.

No Peach, no armor, only basic cards.

"Let's try Balance,"

the Jie Sun Quan player activated the 【Balance】 skill.

"Think thrice before acting; act with ease and ample room!"

He discarded all three cards in his hand,

Four cards flew out from the deck,

flying into the hand area of the Jie Sun Quan player.

"Create Something from Nothing!"

Jie Sun Quan discarded another strategy card again,

looking expectantly at the extra cards now in his hand.

"It's over!"

Seeing the cards before him,

the Jie Sun Quan player's mood plummeted to rock bottom.

Two basic cards again.

Now he had Wine, Slash, and two Dodge cards in hand,

and the only strategy card was actually a Ten Thousand Arrows.

But that was utterly useless.

Attacking Gu Xuan was just giving him a chance to draw cards.

The Jie Sun Quan player sighed.

If he didn't play a card, what else could he do?

He was already ready to give up.

Afterwards,

he discarded a strategy card,

"Ten Thousand Arrows!"

Phantom arrows condensed in the void,

as if endless,

falling toward where Gu Xuan stood.

Gu Xuan had no intention of playing a Dodge to evade.

"Click!"

One point of damage was dealt; Gu Xuan instantly dropped to three health points.

He had a Peach in his hand,

and was just waiting to sell his health to activate his skill!

"Divine Light Never Fades, Immortal Power Never Ceases!"

The clouds and mist scattered and then reformed,

and the skill 【Rebirth】 activated.
