Chapter 959

Ink-like blackness spread across the round table of the arena,

dyeing the general cards of Gu Xuan, Jie Zhuran, and Ma Yunlu completely black,

all dyed black,

at the same instant,

Ma Yunlu's complexion turned the same color as those general cards,

clearly her mood had hit rock bottom,

Gu Xuan unhurriedly tossed out his last two hand cards once more,

"Longing to depart and live in seclusion, no longer harboring extravagant hopes…"

As the number of hand cards returned to zero,

the skill 【Su Yin】 activated once again!

On Gu Xuan's general card, the ink color faded completely, flipping back to its front side,

vigorous vitality swirled around Divine Huang Yueying,

her HP value, from two points,

once again recovered to four points!

"It doesn't just recover one HP, it directly fills it to full?"

Even though the Jie Zhuran player had earlier already seen Gu Xuan use the 【Su Yin】 skill,

but at that time,

he had still thought this skill could only recover HP,

but now it seemed,

it could clearly fill the HP value to maximum!

"Forget it, doesn't matter…" the Jie Zhuran player said dejectedly at this moment,

completely lacking the drive he'd had when he first got the Zhuge Crossbow and a hand full of red Slashes,

now whether Gu Xuan recovered one HP or filled it to full,

he couldn't play any cards anyway,

what was the point of worrying over this?

【Please discard two hand cards!】

The mechanical voice prompt of the game space fell into the Jie Zhuran player's ears once again,

he casually tapped twice toward his hand card area,

tossing out two red Slashes,

Gu Xuan glanced at Jie Zhuran,

this guy really was stockpiling for a burst,

two red Slashes — if nothing unexpected, he definitely still had a Zhuge Crossbow in hand.

But now, it didn't really matter.

He couldn't play cards anyway, simply had no way to deal with him.

The Ma Yunlu player had no hand cards at all,

so there was no question of discarding.

She stared at Gu Xuan with reddened eyes, cursing viciously in her heart:

if next round she could meet this guy again, and she happened to have the Guan Shi Axe in hand, Slash,

and Gu Xuan happened to have four Diamonds in hand, she'd make sure Gu Xuan got a taste of bitterness…

But, this thought, after spinning around once in her mind,

she immediately realized how unrealistic it was…

the prerequisites were simply too many…

"Forget it… better to never meet this guy again."

The Ma Yunlu player deflated,

this kind of prayer was likelier to come true.

The Divine Huang Yueying and Jie Liu Shan players, this combination,

from now on,

the life and death of the remaining players,

would be entirely beyond their control,

once Gu Xuan's turn ended, it would immediately be the Jie Liu Shan player's turn,

the Jie Liu Shan player, his chubby face written all over with excitement,

"All thanks to my beloved minister!"

"Everything is at Prime Minister Father's discretion!"

…………

The 【Delegation】 skill kept being used,

the smile on the Jie Liu Shan player's face never disappeared,

under the blessing of extra turns and the flip-face effect,

what had originally been a perfectly fine five-player field,

had now become a two-person show stage for Divine Huang Yueying and Jie Liu Shan!

Under Divine Huang Yueying's round after round of 【Knowing Fate】,

The two rebels, Jie Zhu Ran and Jie Man Chong, along with the traitor Ma Yun??,

simply could not hold out for long,

and were quickly eliminated one by one!

…………

"So disgusting! The entire match, and the other players got only one turn to play a card? This general of the big shot is simply too terrifying!"

"I could still understand the generals from before; although the big shot's opposing players couldn't win, they could at least play cards and see hope. But this general even strips away the right to play a card..."

"Yes, with Jie Liu Shan added, it's literally infinite turns. Absolutely terrifying!"

"If the big shot hadn't been unsure in the first round whether the Jie Liu Shan player was a Loyalist, Jie Zhu Ran and the others probably wouldn't have had a chance to play a card at all..."

"I'm in an air-conditioned room at 18 degrees, yet I'm breaking out in a cold sweat. Watching the big shot's match is more thrilling than watching a horror movie..."

…………

Gu Xuan withdrew from the competition venue and returned to the game space,

and almost immediately afterward, the game space's notification sound rang in his ear,

【Match concluded! Congratulations to the Lord-Loyalist faction on achieving game victory!】

【Golden Beans +1000!】

【Player performance optimal, Golden Beans extra +500】

【Title bonus, Golden Beans extra +750】

The Golden Beans were instantly deposited into Gu Xuan's account,

and at the same time, a wave of intense fatigue and dizziness surged forth,

causing Gu Xuan to stagger, nearly losing his balance...

"Oh no, I've played too many matches these past two days."

Gu Xuan forced himself to stay alert; his original intention was to earn more Golden Beans during the 【Netherworld】 limited-time discount event,

but he nearly overlooked the physical exhaustion brought on by matches within the game space.

"It's almost 11:30..."

Gu Xuan looked at the time,

no wonder he now felt dizzy and disoriented,

and just wanted to eat.

Gu Xuan rubbed his temples,

having already played enough matches these past two days and earned plenty of Golden Beans,

if he kept this up, he might just suffer sudden death.

Better to rest for half a day, adjust his state, and prepare for tomorrow's Boss Gatekeeping event.
