The Card Apprentice

Su Hanhao laughed sinisterly, “Mei Ji, you’re not worthy of being my opponent, not back then, and not even now. So leave! I only want this kid. Hmph, Jia Yingxia this a foolish woman, I want her to know how great I am. Hehe, give the kid to my eldest son as a slave, how great!”

Baiyue’s eyes turned clear like ice crystals. A freezing cold aura emitted from her body as if coldness was embedded in her perception. Snowflakes appeared and fluttered in the sky because of this.

Mei Ji humphed, “Old hag, your habit of talking bulls*it didn’t change at all. I didn’t have the chance to fight with you back then so I wanted to compete with you today. Too bad I don’t have the time to be wasted with you. Kiddo, let’s attack!”

Before his voice faded away, the two of them launched their attack at the same time.

Baiyue who was white as snow made her move swiftly. Colourful and ethereal lights formed, turning the dark sky dreamy and unreal. There was a wave of cold and misty air, rippling in the atmosphere as the temperature suddenly fell. In a blink of an eye, snowflakes started to fall from the sky.

“Aurora Beam?” Su Hanhao’s eyes sharpened, “I wasn’t expecting that woman was willing to give that card to you.”

Mei Ji attacked at the same time. His flushed face like a baby’s turned crimson suddenly. His face was so dark as if blood was seeping out of it. He glared at him without anger but his composure radiated power. He raised his hands, aligned his fingers and pointed at Su Hanhao while he shouted, “Ring of hell!”

A condensed aura filled every inch of the space. An energy form like a ring flew out from Mei Ji’s fingers slowly.

“Damn it!” Su Hanhao’s expression turned cold and murderous, “Old Mei Ji, you’re a dead meat today!”

He didn’t think that Mei Ji would be so desperate in attacking!

The ring expanded instantly once it left Mei Ji’s fingers, forming a gigantic energy ring of one kilometer in diameter! Su Hanhao was trapped within the energy ring. The intimidating waves of energy fluctuation emitted from the energy ring made him palpitate in terror.

Su Hanhao’s expression tensed. Without hesitation, he shouted, “The Fiend’s Eye!”

Countless thin thread-like black energy surrounded him and converged with amazing speed. Nine black eyes were formed by the energy as they orbited around him!

These black eyes were all shut tightly, swimming around him like fishes.

The gigantic energy ring grew sideways with amazing speed while extruding from the centre at the same time. It was as if the atmosphere became more tense due to the pressure created.

In a blink of an eye, the energy ring formed into an energy sphere. Su Hanhao was trapped inside the sphere as it kept shrinking. Its energy walls were getting stronger while the energy sphere shrank, the waves of energy fluctuation released by it was made others feel as though their hearts were pressed down by a stone.

“Hmph!” Su Hanhao humphed but he couldn’t afford any delay. He didn’t dare to underestimate Mei Ji’s attacks either.

As he humphed, the nine black eyes surrounded him opened at the same time!

Siam stood in front Tang Hanpei with a calm expression. He took a bow respectfully, “I’ve had training for Bitter Solitude Temple’s Eight-Armed Dragon, but my training wasn’t enough, I can only summon six arms.”

Tang Hanpei nodded, “I’ve heard about the Eight Armed Dragon, a six-star card from the Bitter Solitude Temple. I’ve also heard that the creator produced it according to the gods from classical religious myths and summoned the Dragon Guardian by energy. The eight arms of the dragon all have different functions. Compared to my energy war puppet from the Comprehensive Federation Academy in the Heavenly Federation, they’re fascinatingly similar in their functions.”

“As an outsider, I have no idea what kind of cards you use. Can I have the honor to witness them?” Siam asked seriously.

Tang Hanpei smiled free-heartedly, “That depends on whether I have to use it.”

“Please tolerate my pending performance.” Without any more nonsensical talk, Siam summoned waves of energy fluctuation which rippled like water with him at the center. Although the waves weren’t strong and had no fiery aura, the whole Dongrui City could feel its presence with clarity.

A shadow of seven meters in height appeared in front of Siam. The shadow solidified gradually as the pure energy transition presented different colours.

A barefooted giant stood in front of Siam, his eyes bulged with might and anger. His aura of fierceness and calmness were perfectly balanced together, causing the others to have a desire to worship him. Six of his arms held different weapons whilst the other two arms were faint shadows. Each arm held a Precious Bottle; a bell; a sword; a marble; a gun, and a small shield.

“The Eight-Armed Dragon is great indeed.” Tang Hanpei exclaimed.

The giant swung his arm that was holding the sword. With a swish, a wave blade was formed from the tip of the sword. The wave blade formed from its light stroke was two meters wide as the giant was seven meters tall. It screamed as it charged towards Tang Hanpei!

Tang Hanpei smiled faintly. He flipped his right hand and three red diamond-shaped energy spindles with the size of bamboo leaves flew out.

Compared to the massive wave sword, these three energy spindles were as puny as fireflies. However, with a loud bang, the gigantic slash turned into light debris like a fragile porcelain after it collided lightly with the three energy spindles!

“No, I can only use the 70% of the Four Pronged Caltrop’s power. If it was Qiao Yuan who was making that move, you would be injured already.” Tang Hanpei said without any nostalgia, “The only person in the world who can use a five-star card to this extent is Qiao Yuan.”

“Four Pronged Caltrop! Qiao Yuan!” Siam’s expression became cold, “You don’t have to hurry.”

Even before he finished his sentence, the arm holding the sword continued slashing. Wave blades were formed one by one like ocean waves. They tore through the air and dashed towards Tang Hanpei.

Tang Hanpei smiled. Without any words, few red energy spindles were striking towards the massive wave blades. Crash! Crash! Crash! The continuous noise of things shattering could be heard clearly and light fragments were heavy as mist. They surged and blurred the night sky.

The giant lifted the arm that was holding the Precious Bottle suddenly, the mouth of the bottle facing Tang Hanpei.

Tang Hanpei felt his body limping. With a slight hint of surprise, he said, “Energy disturbance? This is rare.” However, he shook his body lightly and broke free.

The air in front of Tang Hanpei’s eyes became heavily distorted as the Precious Bottle’s light shone brighter. He could even see the disordered ripples within the airwaves. At the same time, the energy in his meter was intensely agitated. An explosion was coming at any time!

“Interesting.” Tang Hanpei smiled interestedly. His eyes expanded suddenly, his perception rose in an instance. At the same time, crack! A crack was formed on the Precious Bottle. Crack crack crack! More cracks were formed and spider web-like cracks covered the whole bottle in a blink of an eye.

Crash! The Precious Bottle shattered completely!

Siam humphed, the flush on his handsome face disappeared.

The Fiend’s Eye was a seven-star card possessed by Su Hanhao, the Chief Military Instructor of the Desert Camp. It was able to form nine black eyes, which were solely composed by energy. Each of the eyes could shoot rays of different characteristics, tricky and unpredictable.

All nine of the black eyes opened. An unexplainable cold aura was emitted, making the hair of others stand on end.

Looking at the energy sphere which enclosed him completely, Su Hanhao humphed as a black ray shot out of one of his eyes suddenly!

Without any noise, the black ray shot through the Energy Ring of Hell!

However, unexpectedly, the hole recovered itself in a blink of an eye.

“Mei Ji, you old man. Is this all you’ve got?” Su Hanhao snickered indifferently. Upon finishing his sentence, his gaze densed and the nine eyes assembled in front of him in an instance, forming a nine-square matrix.

Boom!

A gigantic light pillar with more than five meters in diameter shot out of the eye matrix! The thick Energy Ring of Hell was as fragile as paper in front of the light pillar. The light pillar went through the energy walls of the ring without any effort!

Su Hanhao laughed with pride. Then, he flew through the hole made together with the nine eyes.

As if coming from the depths of a pole, a moan with chills from afar reached his ears, as his expression finally changed!

“Breath of Aurora Beam!”

The colourful lights which were originally floating in the night sky was like being pressed and squeezed together by an invisible force, forming a colourful mass of air!

The colours were drained from Baiyue’s cold face, she was as pale as paper. A streak of blood dribbled from the corner of her mouth, which was a terrifying sight! She was staring at the Energy Ring of Hell which shrunk into the size of a house.

The mass of air flew into the hole made by Su Hanhao. The destructive energy that was stored in the mass exploded in the air.

The air mass exploded without any warning the moment it flew into the Energy Ring of Hell!

The extremely icy chills raged in the sealed Energy Ring of Hell. The temperature in the ring went down to -80 degrees instantly! A layer of ice crystals even formed on Su Hanhao’s brows as his whole body tensed.

Mei Ji had nothing else to lose at that time. He straightened his right arm and pointed towards the Energy Ring of Hell. He took a breath as the muscles on his right arm contracted. He glared with anger, clenched his right palm and shouted, “Sink!”

Puff! Puff! Puff! Blood gushed from his right arm, elbow and wrist simultaneously.

The Energy Ring of Hell shrunk suddenly and collapsed towards the center. The thick energy walls became soft like plasticine and collapsed softly towards the center as if there was a blackhole absorbing everything in!

Suddenly, rays of different colours shot out of the soft plasticine. Baiyue’s expression changed slightly while Mei Ji glared coldly.

Boom!

As if they were fused, the light rays exploded with a boom!

Brilliant rays and orange explosion lights illuminated the night sky of Dongrui City and the explosion sound waves spread through the whole city, destroying strong walls with high protective ability into debris effortlessly! A huge mushroom cloud rose slowly as if the city was hell on earth.

“I’m not Su Hanhao if I don’t get my vengeance!” A voice filled with deep hatred faded away.

Both Mei Ji and Baiyue were frightened! They weren’t expecting such a huge explosion. They put in their most effort for this attack, they were not even bothered to injure themselves, yet Su Hanhao was still unharmed! The two of them could only try to stabilize their body at that time, they didn’t have the energy to chase after him anymore.

Judging from the situation, they could only let Su Hanhao escape.

Suddenly, without any signs, a monstrous and murderous aura filled every inch of the air! The people had an illusion that everything in their vision was stained with blood and a strong stench of blood filled the air.

A shadow carrying a bloody crescent larger than a human appeared!

“Caesar! You…”

All noises ceased suddenly!
