Chapter 6 is a complete disaster, [The Gluttonous Demon]
The battle was imminent. The [Fiery Flood Leopard] moved like lightning, darting and weaving, and suddenly lunged in front of [Zhang Fei].
Its sharp front claws ignited with scorching flames, carrying a wave of heat. Following closely behind was the [Heavy Armored Soldier]'s [Thrust] skill.
[Gu Ye], hiding behind [Zhang Fei], spoke calmly:
“Zhang Yide, Man of Yan, go play with them.”
“Understood!” [Zhang Fei] replied in a deep voice. He swung the [eighteen-foot serpent spear], blocking the [Heavy Armored Soldier]'s [Thrust]. With a flick of his wrist, he struck the [Fiery Flood Leopard]'s front claw. The clinging flames actually spread up along the spear shaft, attempting to burn [Zhang Fei]'s palm.
[Zhang Fei] gave his hand a light shake, and the flames were instantly extinguished. The [Fiery Flood Leopard]'s claws pressed down hard on the [eighteen-foot serpent spear], grinding out sparks.
Immediately after, the [Fiery Flood Leopard] thrust its head forward, opening its blood-stained mouth. The stench was unbearable; [Zhang Fei] could clearly see the shreds of meat stuck between its teeth.
[Zhang Fei]'s eyes turned sharp. He exerted force suddenly, kicking out with his right leg like a steel pillar, landing solidly on the [Fiery Flood Leopard]'s abdomen.
With a muffled “thud,” the [Fiery Flood Leopard] was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. The [Heavy Armored Soldier] on the side took the opportunity to kick, attempting to ambush [Zhang Fei]'s supporting leg, but it didn't expect [Zhang Fei] to suddenly increase the pressure on the [eighteen-foot serpent spear]. The tail of the spear swept horizontally, smashing heavily into its chest, sending it flying several meters away and crashing heavily into a tree trunk with a dull impact.
The [Fiery Flood Leopard], having flown several meters away, barely managed to stabilize itself with the help of the [Heavy Armored Soldier].
[Tang De] saw this scene and shouted in horror:
“How is this possible? The boss's [Fiery Flood Leopard] is a light green [card].”
“You were born into a poor family, how could you possibly suppress the [Fiery Flood Leopard].”
“Zhong Yuan!”
[Li Jie] turned his gaze to the young man standing at the very back and pointed viciously at [Zhang Fei]:
“Lock him down for me. I want him dead.”
[Zhong Yuan] adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes, and said:
“Young Master Li, that's an extra price.”
“Fifty thousand after we get out.”
“OK!” [Zhong Yuan] agreed immediately.
At this moment, [Gu Ye]'s mocking voice rang out: “Do you think I don't exist?”
“Zhang Fei, stop playing with them. Finish them off.”
“Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...”
A series of piercing sounds of breaking air suddenly exploded, mixed with the sound of chains clashing, shooting out from [Zhong Yuan]'s direction.
[Mother's Wrap...]
“Cough, cough, cough, wrong one...”
[Entanglement]!
The pitch-black iron chains darted out like poisonous snakes, moving with extreme speed, almost beyond the limits of the naked eye, heading straight for [Zhang Fei].
[Zhang Fei] ignored the incoming chains and roared at the [Fiery Flood Leopard]: “I am Zhang Yide, Man of Yan! Who dares to fight me to the death?”
Skill [Roar I] activated!
The [Fiery Flood Leopard] was bound in place. [Zhang Fei]'s figure vanished from where he stood, and the incoming chains passed through his afterimage, losing their target.
[Li Jie] and the others were stunned on the spot. “Where is he?”
“Watch out!”
“Heavy Armored Soldier, stop him!” [Tang De] was the first to notice [Zhang Fei], who had suddenly appeared beside the [Fiery Flood Leopard].
The [eighteen-foot serpent spear] in his hand was already raised high, the spear tip gleaming with a cold, chilling light. Carrying the force of ten thousand jun, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound of breaking air, it slashed down fiercely!
“Puchi—”
The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was clearly audible. The [Fiery Flood Leopard] didn't even have time to let out a full scream before it was split in two by the spear. Blood mixed with internal organs gushed out, and it died instantly.
“Awooo~”
“Double kill! Famous in one battle!”
Finally, the [Fiery Flood Leopard] dissipated into specks of starlight in the air and returned to [Li Jie]'s side. The [card] had suffered heavy damage, and the violent backlash felt to [Li Jie], as its master, like his sea of consciousness had been smashed by a hammer.
“Ah—”
“Pfft~”
A mouthful of blood sprayed out. The backlash not only affected his spirit but also his physical body. [Li Jie]'s eyes were dull, and he slowly collapsed.
[Tang De] was quick-witted and hurriedly reached out to support him. But just as he lowered his head to help him, a cold spear tip had already appeared at the edge of his vision, less than three inches from his glabella.
In the few short moments it took for [Tang De] to help [Li Jie], [Zhang Fei] had already taken care of the [Heavy Armored Soldier]. The [Heavy Armored Soldier] was just a white [card], and for [Tang De], who was already a [Bronze Fifth Tier], the backlash effect was minimal; it only felt a slight stinging pain in his sea of consciousness.
“Triple kill! The world is shocked!”
[Tang De] looked at the imposing [Zhang Fei] before him and the [eighteen-foot serpent spear] that was about to pierce his head. He swallowed involuntarily, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and the fear in his eyes was undisguised.
He wiped the sweat from his head, looked at [Gu Ye] in the distance, and smiled stiffly: “Gu Ye, you can't kill us. The school rules prohibit fighting to the death within the [Card Domain].”
“Hehe~”
[Gu Ye]'s eyes were full of mockery: “If I kill all of you, so what? Who would know that I was the one who killed you!”
At this moment, [Zhong Yuan], who was hiding at the back, asked: “Gu Ye, we have no grudges. Can you let me go? I can take out all my [card]-making materials in exchange for my life.”
[Zhong Yuan] took out five [card]-making materials from the backpack on his back and placed them on the ground.
“If I kill you, the [card]-making materials will still be mine.”
“Haha, [Gu Ye], don't be arrogant. We have a long road ahead. Next time, I will definitely make you crawl on the ground and lick my toes.”
[Li Jie], in [Tang De]'s arms, finished speaking, and a white light suddenly lit up on his body. The dazzling light blinded the other three, forcing them to close their eyes involuntarily. Seeing that [Li Jie] wanted to run, [Zhang Fei] fiercely thrust the [eighteen-foot serpent spear] at him, but it was a step too late; [Li Jie] had already disappeared before their eyes.
And when the light appeared, [Zhong Yuan], seeing it as a good opportunity—at this time [Zhang Fei] was still attacking [Li Jie] and had no time to worry about them—took out a [card] from his pocket, injected spiritual energy, and a transparent film appeared, wrapping around him and [Tang De].
Then the film carried the two of them into the sky, moving as fast as a shooting star. Even [Zhang Fei] didn't have time to react before they had disappeared into the night.
“Ah~~ Yayaya~~”
Streaks of blood-energy blades condensed from the [eighteen-foot serpent spear] and shot in all directions. [Zhang Fei] wantonly destroyed the surrounding environment, venting the anger in his heart. He couldn't even stop a few defeated opponents and let them run away.
“Alright, General Yide, these rich kids aren't so easy to kill.” [Gu Ye] tried to appease the angry [Zhang Fei].
“But...” [Zhang Fei] held the [eighteen-foot serpent spear] in his hand, looking frustrated.
“It's fine. I guessed long ago that I couldn't kill them. I just wanted to see what kind of trump cards they would use to escape.”
“Let's go. It's time to find [Chu Ling] and the others.”
...
As the bright moonlight gradually disappeared, the [Blood Fiend Mechanical Forest] returned to its usual peaceful and calm state. An explosion, like a stone falling, broke the calm surface of the lake and stirred up ripples.
“Finally locked onto you!”
“The biggest hidden boss of the [Blood Fiend Mechanical Forest]!”
[Gluttonous Ghoul]!
[Yan Shuangling] stared fixedly at the gaunt figure in front of her. It tilted its head, looking [Yan Shuangling] up and down. A strange green light flashed in its eyes, and its mouth, which split all the way to the back of its head, struggled to swallow its heavy tongue, as if it had been hungry for a long time.
[Yan Shuangling] wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. What was strange was that the blood fell to the ground, turned into a black shadow, and merged into the [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s body at an extremely fast speed. A look of enjoyment appeared on the [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s stiff face.
[Elegant Blade], cut off its legs. We can't let it run again.”
“Tch~~”
Standing beside [Yan Shuangling], holding a Tang dao, dressed in a black warrior suit, with a mask covering its face, was [Elegant Blade]. Red light suddenly erupted in its eyes, and its figure instantly vanished from where it stood. The Tang dao in its hand, carrying a chilling cold light, slashed straight at the [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s legs!
“Uh uh~ Heh~”
The [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s huge mouth made a strange laughing sound, swinging its heavy tongue to precisely intercept [Elegant Blade]'s attack.
“Clang!”
The soft tongue collided with the blade, producing the sound of metal clashing. It immediately pierced through all the surrounding noise, reaching the eardrums, and even making the teeth feel slightly sour.
With the first strike having no effect, [Elegant Blade] immediately activated a skill:
“[Ice Breath Cold Edge]!”
A burst of cold air surged from the Tang dao it held, condensing pieces of ice crystals on the blade, stacking up like fish scales to wrap around the blade. A gleam of light flashed and vanished from the edge of the blade, and the Tang dao seemed even sharper.
With a slash, a huge cold blade of energy attacked the [Gluttonous Ghoul], freezing everything in its path, making a creaking sound.
Green light flashed in the [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s eyes, and viscous green liquid instantly flowed from its tongue.
The liquid dripped onto the ground, corroding the weeds. It straightened its tongue and rushed toward the cold blade. The moment they made contact, its tongue tip was covered with a layer of ice crystals, and the cold blade cut into the tongue.
[Yan Shuangling] in the distance clenched her fists, watching the battle between [Elegant Blade] and the others nervously. [Card Master]s below the [Bronze Fifth Tier], unless they were Battle [Card Master]s who armed themselves, basically had no combat power.
Ice crystals condensed layer by layer along the [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s tongue. Seeing the situation was bad, the [Gluttonous Ghoul] surged with ghost power, and layers of green mist appeared on its tongue.
“Boom~~”
“Uh ah~~”
A huge explosion sounded, and the cold air, mixed with damp soil, scattered wildly. The fierce power snapped many charred big trees. Mixed within it was the [Gluttonous Ghoul]'s moan full of severe pain.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, there was only a large pit filled with frozen ground and crooked, corroded trees, while the [Gluttonous Ghoul] was long gone. [Elegant Blade], with slightly dusty clothes, was still standing in the pit.
“Ran away again.” [Yan Shuangling] gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing unwillingness.
“It seems even the little princess of the Yan family can't hold onto this monster!”
“Who?”
[Yan Shuangling] raised her eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice.
