Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1376: Chapter 1150: The Human Takes the Stage

On the Human Sword Platform, the Space Power and silver Gang Qi intertwined and annihilated, roaring incessantly.

With a flash of light, Su Yuan’s figure once again appeared in the high sky.

Holding a sword in his right hand, his black robe was tattered from the explosion, with numerous blood marks on his body.

But those were unimportant. What mattered was that in Su Yuan’s left hand, he was clutching a bright, pale cyan Star Core surrounded by Gang Qi!

"...Gang Lan is dead?!"

For a moment, shocked exclamations and clamor erupted from within the black clouds!

"Lord Gang Lan? How could this be!"

"Gang Lan of the Wind Soldier, who wielded a Spiritualized Holy Artifact and had slain more than a handful of King Levels, was killed by this human just like that?!"

The experts from each Royal Court, numerous Great Demons under Gang Lan, and even High Stage Demon Kings like Tong Kun, Chuntong, and others were all skeptical and uncertain.

Even Yin Ju’s expression seemed a few shades darker.

"This human is quite extraordinary..."

Glancing at the silver-haired, silver-eyed, handsome young man on the Human Sword Platform, a trace of coldness appeared in Yin Ju’s eyes...

In contrast to the demons of the Grey Realm, the numerous experts of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect were immediately elated after their brief shock!

"Another victory?!"

"Three demons slain in succession, even a Demon King wielding a Holy Artifact was felled in one strike!"

"Is this the sword cultivator from Qixia Mountain who once aided Master Fu in seizing the main Earth Tribulation vein? Su Spirit Venerable’s strength is simply unfathomable!"

The Divine Sect disciples, all ten thousand of them, were filled with excitement, shouting in unison!

In the realm of the Star Card Master, strength is revered, especially among those sword cultivators with a passion for battle.

Not just in strength but also in stance, Su Yuan had arrived as an allied support when the Divine Sect was in dire straits.

Ascending the Sword Platform, slaying three demons, and averting disaster as the platform sank!

Such skill, such demeanor, how could the disciples of the Divine Sect not find it inspiring and exhilarating?

In the arena, Su Yuan retrieved the Demon Core and glanced at the black cloud as if sensing something.

"Have I already been targeted?"

Su Yuan returned his gaze, seemingly unconcerned.

In a great calamity, one cannot remain hidden forever.

Being targeted by a formidable foe, we have experts to handle them.

And if they can bypass our experts to target me, that’s their skill; being in a tribulation is not something one can avoid by remaining cautious and obscure.

Su Yuan has never been one to be passive. Killing three disasters with a sword and rising against calamity is Su Yuan’s way!

Otherwise, even if I endure the calamity, I will be reduced to just being one among the crowd.

With a flip of his hand, Su Yuan drew the Sky Blue Sword. At his will, green light surged up along the blade, and the injuries sustained from the energy surge rapidly healed, visible to the naked eye.

"Hmm? Such a dense life force wave!" High in the air, Hun Ling frowned, "Besides that Water Element Holy Artifact earlier, this human even possesses such a powerful healing Holy Artifact!"

Beside him, Chuntong scrutinized closely, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Chuntong, what is it?" A tall and thin old man next to him noticed the abnormality in his expression and asked in a low, hoarse voice.

Yin Ju and the others also turned their attention.

Chuntong formed a Seal Technique with his hand, allowing the flower in his palm to resonate with the Glazed Tianqing held by Su Yuan below.

"This object... is indeed the Spiritualized Holy Artifact of our Heavenly Imperial Court!"

"What, it’s a Spiritualized Holy Artifact?" All Demon Kings were greatly surprised.

Yin Ju raised an eyebrow and asked Chuntong: "How did a Spiritualized Holy Artifact end up in the hands of a human from this world?"

Chuntong shook his head, himself filled with astonishment and confusion.

Each Spiritualized Divine Tree is strictly regulated, given to those specifically trained in the Commanding Soldiers Skill.

Moreover, if a person possessing a Spiritualized Divine Weapon falls, the parasite Spiritualized Divine Weapon would also be damaged; there is no possibility of seizing another’s Spiritualized Divine Weapon...

At least, not for humans, it’s impossible!

But soon, Chuntong remembered something.

"More than a decade ago, due to space turbulence, a Spiritualized Divine Tree was accidentally lost.

The growth of that Divine Tree wasn’t high, but it was one of the earlier ones... Could it be this one in front of us?"

"Is that so?"

Yin Ju and the others nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this and had nothing more to say.

The most important thing now is to break the formation quickly and attack these human experts of the sect.

But now, even Gang Lan, whom Yin Ju saw as a formidable subordinate, was slain by this human on the battlefield...

"Lord Yin Ju, what do we do now?" Hun Ling asked.

The nearby Demon Kings, Tong Kun, the tall slim old man, and others also looked over, their eyes serious but tinged with a hint of amusement.

Demon Kings aren’t like cabbages; Lei Li, Li Xuan, and Gang Lan were all elites under Yin Ju’s command as Wind Soldiers.

Having them slain one after another is a severe loss for Yin Ju, who, as a vice commander of the Wind Soldiers, has not only suffered significant losses but also had his honor diminished!

But in just this moment, Yin Ju, who had been experiencing a downturn in his mood, regained his calm.

"Tong Kun, Sou... what do you think we ought to do?"

Yin Ju’s tone was mild, betraying no emotions.

Sou, the tall slim old man, was the High Stage Demon King sent by the Netherworld Imperial Court to assist.

The hearts of the Demon Kings tightened. Could it mean he wants us to send our people up again?

Even Gang Lan, who wielded a Holy Artifact and was immensely powerful, couldn’t compete with that human on the platform, let alone the other Demon Kings?

Sou immediately suggested: "The Wind Soldiers were all selected through rigorous competition; Gang Lan is considered one of the top Low Stage Demon Kings. Now that even Gang Lan is no match... I’d say, let’s just give up on this Sword Platform?"

Sou spoke while cautiously observing Yin Ju.

He was voicing the reality, but it was clear he didn’t want his subordinates to suffer losses on the platform.

After all, the Wind Soldiers have already lost quite a few people to the Sword Platform.

Not only Sou, but the others were also watching Yin Ju.

"Very well." Unexpectedly, Yin Ju agreed outright, calmly stating to them, "Indeed, if Gang Lan isn’t a match, sending others up won’t make much of a difference either."

Sou and others were taken aback by Yin Ju’s easy agreement.

Rumor had it that this Great Demon King, who had ascended to the Ninth Stage in the last world conquest, wasn’t one to be trifled with...

As they pondered this, Yin Ju continued speaking:

"In the battle on the Sword Platform, our elite troops have gone all out, yet this human is too formidable, making forced combat unwise.

But when it comes to the later stages of breaking the formation, the experts from the various great courts will have to heed my command..."

Yin Ju cast a gaze over Tong Kun, Chuntong, Sou, and others, with a hint of a cold smile at the corners of his mouth:

"If anyone shows any hesitation or delay, they will be defying the joint command of the Five Great Royal Courts. At that time, you can’t blame me for being ruthless with my subordinates...!"

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the Demon Kings from each Royal Court sank.

Indeed, Wind Soldier Deputy Commander Yin Ju is no easy character!

Observing the changes in their expressions, Yin Ju inwardly chuckled derisively.

Are my people the only ones to die? It’s not that simple!

Understanding the effect of the Sword Platform, Yin Ju had already been calculating in secret.

In one-on-one battles on the Sword Platform, my people go.

If it’s truly impossible to break through all the Sword Platforms and we need to forcefully break the formation...

Then these people from the Royal Courts will have no excuse to linger behind.

And when breaking the formation... the number of lives to be sacrificed will be more than just a few Demon Kings!

As they discussed, no one noticed Chuntong on the side, closely watching the Glazed Tianqing in Su Yuan’s hand, a hint of greed flickering in his eyes.

"A Holy Artifact of the Life Law..." Chuntong’s eyes gleamed, his gaze becoming more intense, "Such a treasure in this human’s hands is truly a waste."
