Chapter 998

Within the golden card face, a ring after ring of iron chain phantom images shone through.

Once this card was played,

Luminous white iron chains, extending from nowhere,

Linked the generals of Gu Xuan and Xiaoji Sangtian together.

"Excellent, excellent..."

Gu Xuan's general card had now taken the form of the present Tathagata.

The 【Three Lives】 skill activated!

The iron chain link Gu Xuan used on himself,

Was used once again!

"Crack, crack..."

A grating metallic friction sound reached his ears.

The silver-white iron chains on Gu Xuan's general phantom were now unbound!

Only Xiaoji Sangtian remained,

Still bound.

"Formless and colorless!"

The present Tathagata Buddha's skill settlement was complete.

The form transformed.

Maitreya's face wore a smile,

Squinting as he sat in the center of the three Buddhas!

A golden card was drawn by attraction,

Flying into Gu Xuan's hand area!

Restoring his hand to thirteen cards once more!

"Seize the opportunity!"

Another strategy card was played.

A straw rope as thick as three fingers tore through the air.

But this time the target was not Xiaoji Sangtian,

It was Ma Liang in the second position!

The Ma Liang player was startled at first,

Then he understood.

Gu Xuan wanted his Zhuge Crossbow.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching the Zhuge repeating crossbow be drawn away from his weapon slot,

He felt not a shred of resentment,

Instead, his face was full of excitement!

With the Zhuge repeating crossbow,

The big shot would probably eliminate this little Japanese fellow in one round!

"Om, Ma, Ni, Ba, Mi, Hong..."

The Six-Syllable Great Mantra materialized before Maitreya.

Buddha light swept over the deck.

Three more cards were displayed before Gu Xuan.

【Slash, Slash, Oath of the Peach Garden】.

Gu Xuan naturally would not use Oath of the Peach Garden to heal the BOSS.

With a thought, one of the cards flew out,

Pointing at Xiaoji Sangtian in the first position!

"Thwack!"

Damage fell, health points shattered.

Xiaoji Sangtian was left with only four health points!

"Excellent, excellent..."

Amidst Xiaoji Sangtian's sallow face,

Maitreya smiled and chanted a Buddha's name.

The form transformed once more into the Past Dipankara Buddha!

And drew a card from the deck!

Gu Xuan now possessed the Zhuge repeating crossbow,

Allowing infinite uses of Slash.

Immediately, he equipped the Zhuge repeating crossbow.

The Past Buddha's effect was triggered.

It allowed Gu Xuan to be treated as having used one instant card identical to the last instant card he used.

However, the last card Gu Xuan used was Seize the Opportunity.

Seizing from oneself? If there were no bugs, that simply couldn't be done...

So, Gu Xuan directly cancelled the skill usage.

Drew another card from his hand and pointed it at Xiao Jisangtian,

"Thunder Kill!"

Xiao Jisangtian stared at the rolling heavenly thunder,

utterly powerless to resist,

forced to let the lightning strike him,

reducing his remaining health points to zero!

Gu Xuan used a card on any character,

in 【Three Lifetimes】, the past effect of the Buddha of Light triggered again,

allowing him to treat Xiao Jisangtian as if he had just used Gu Xuan's most recently played instant card,

and Gu Xuan's most recently played instant card had already been changed to Thunder Kill via Steal at Will!

Immediately,

another Thunder Kill was played, aimed at Xiao Jisangtian!

"Bestow the fruit of virtue…"

"Snap!"

Health scattered—Xiao Jisangtian now had only three health points left!

And Gu Xuan's form shifted again, becoming the Present Buddha!

From the deck,

a golden card flew out,

replenishing his hand to thirteen cards once more!

"Peach!"

A flash of emerald vitality—Gu Xuan instantly restored his health to three points,

"Peach!"

The effect of his current form's skill activated,

another virtual peach materialized,

but this time, Gu Xuan's health had already reached its maximum, so he could not gain more,

and it was wasted,

"All Phenomena, Cycle of Rebirth!"

The Present Buddha and the Future Maitreya swapped positions,

his form transformed,

and Gu Xuan drew another card from the deck!
