Chapter 956

~5 min read 857 words

It is Ma Yunlu's turn in seat four.

She looks at the two cards in her hand.

One is a Thunder Slash, the other a Dodge.

On the current battlefield,

the Lord in seat one and Jie Zhuran each have three health points,

while the Jie Manchong and Jie Li Shan players both have two health points.

She is the Traitor; the Jie Li Shan player in seat five must be the Loyalist!

The Lord and Loyalist side is currently far too dominant.

If he chooses to Slash Jie Manchong this turn,

then when the Lord plays their cards, Jie Manchong will almost certainly die.

By then, only she and Jie Zhuran would remain to face Gu Xuan and Jie Li Shan together.

Given the strength of the Lord's general, Divine Huang Yueying,

they would have almost no chance of victory...

So...

the Ma Yunlu player turns her gaze toward Jie Li Shan in seat five,

a flash of dangerous cold light passing through her eyes.

Before the latter could react,

a Slash card was already thrown!

"Thunder Slash!"

A spear thrusts forth like a silver thunder dragon,

pointing directly at Jie Li Shan's phantom!

"Wait until I mount my horse and spear, and I'll crush you into scattered flowers and flowing water!"

Ma Yunlu lets out a low shout,

and the skill 【Feng Po】 activates!

However, the Jie Li Shan player currently has no cards in hand,

so even though 【Feng Po】 triggered, it was as if it hadn't; it neither increased damage nor allowed a card draw.

"My father is Liu Bei!"

Jie Li Shan's phantom shouts loudly at Ma Yunlu,

and the skill 【Xiang Le】 activates!

Yet it still failed to stop Ma Yunlu's fierce spear thrust!

Because at this moment, the Ma Yunlu player in seat four had already discarded the last Dodge card remaining in her hand,

so the Thunder Slash still takes effect!

"Plop!"

One point of damage falls,

and the Jie Li Shan player is instantly left with only a single drop of health, red as agate.

The Ma Yunlu player then ends her turn.

She no longer cares if her Traitor identity is exposed.

Even if she does not kill Jie Li Shan this turn,

once Jie Li Shan yields power,

the Lord will know she is the Traitor.

Since that is the case, it is better to defect first.

Now,

the Loyalist Liu Shan has only one health point remaining.

Gu Xuan should have some reservations,

and will not easily activate the skill that reduces everyone's health by one point.

This also buys her a little time.

"Knowing my wisdom is insufficient, I shall only break the enemy with courage!"

During Ma Yunlu's end phase,

Jie Zhuran's skill 【Dan Shou】 activates again!

Another golden card flies out from the deck and lands in the Jie Zhuran player's hand!

'A Diamond Slash?!'

The Jie Zhuran player looks at the cards in his hand area,

and the smile on his lips deepens further.

He lowers his head even more,

trying to minimize his presence on the battlefield.

Now, in his hand area, there are four cards:

a Zhuge Lian Nu and a Wine left over from the previous turn, plus the two Red Slashes just drawn.

If he draws one or two more Red Slashes, then on his next turn,

he will most likely be able to send Gu Xuan away!

The notification sound of the game space flows through.

The player at seat five, Liu Shan (Borderline),

had already drawn two cards from the deck,

and at this moment, looking at Gu Xuan, he activated the skill 【Delegation of Power】 without hesitation!

"The Northern Campaign is a weighty matter — let Prime Minister handle it all, won't you!"

The Liu Shan (Borderline) phantom muttered a line,

and directly skipped the play phase,

one hand card was discarded by him,

the hand card transformed into golden flowing light,

shrouding the divine Huang Yueying,

at the same time, Gu Xuan, after the Liu Shan (Borderline) turn ended,

would gain an extra turn!

The Liu Shan (Borderline) player's end phase,

the Zhu Ran (Borderline) 2-1-3 skill 【Bold Defense】 activated once again!

"With boldness I break the enemy siege, with defense I repel the bandits' raid!"

At this moment, the Zhu Ran (Borderline) player's hand card count,

had already become five!

"Three red Slashes!!"

The Zhu Ran (Borderline) player bit down hard on the base of his right thumb,

his leg bouncing nonstop,

trying to reduce the excitement in his heart,

almost there, almost there,

he had just calculated,

the Liu Shan (Borderline) player gave the Lord one turn, plus the Lord's own turn,

Gu Xuan could obtain two turns in total, and when these two turns ended, he could also gain two extra hand cards,

and judging from the previous two rounds,

Gu Xuan's skill that made all players on the field lose HP, flip face-down, and discard cards,

should have some restriction, not activatable every turn,

at least in the second round Gu Xuan did not activate the skill to flip everyone face-down,

giving them the chance to play cards.

Then,

◈
