Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 185 Can she control a Saint-level card?
The card masters and warriors of Tiansheng City are very brave. They are very efficient at killing magical beasts. They only need to make contact with the magical beasts once to kill countless of them.

Over the past two years, the cards created by Xie Yuwei have significantly boosted the combat power of the human race.

Card Masters have acquired new cards, which are many times more powerful than the previous ones.

In addition, due to their low price, all the card masters who came to challenge them had their own cards.

Since Xie Yuwei entered the academy, the weapon cards she created have become widespread, and the combat power of all martial artists has increased many times over.

Logically speaking, Tiansheng City's overall strength has increased more than fivefold.

They should have an easier time dealing with the beast tide than before.

However, this beast tide is unusual; these magical beasts are coming from the direction of Zhushan and seem endless.

The group of high-level and mid-level card spirit masters and warriors from Tiansheng City were overwhelmed by the beast tide after only a brief encounter with the magical beasts.

There are too many monsters, and they're too ferocious!

Seeing that the situation was not optimistic, the leaders of the various forces had no choice but to order their men: "Retreat! Retreat to the defensive formation of Tiansheng City."

If they kill monsters here, once they are exhausted, they will be torn apart by the monsters.

They can retreat back to the defensive formation of Tiansheng City to recover their spiritual energy when they are exhausted.

Seeing that these monsters seemed endless, everyone knew that retreating to the defensive formation to resist was the safest option.

Therefore, they fought and retreated simultaneously.

The Saint-level Card Spirit Masters guarding Tiansheng City quickly discovered this scene.

Qin Hao from the Qin family couldn't help but say, "If the battle line retreats to outside the defensive barrier, the defensive barrier will be severely depleted. Once the core of the array is broken, the barrier of Tiansheng City will be finished."

The barrier surrounding Tiansheng City consists of thirty-six Saint-level array eyes, which are scattered throughout the city and guarded by various powerful families, the Prefectural Government, Fengyun Academy, and the Mercenary Guild.

Thirty-six array eyes formed a large array, which covered Tiansheng City, forming a huge barrier around it.

If the barrier around Tiansheng City is damaged excessively, the thirty-six array eyes will break.

Once the core of the array is broken, the defensive barrier of Tiansheng City will be greatly weakened.

With so many demonic beasts outside, if they were allowed to attack the barrier, who knows how many of the thirty-six array eyes in Tiansheng City would be left intact.

In recent years, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion has produced very few array cores, and it is unknown whether Tiansheng City will have any chance to obtain a Saint-level array core.

What Qin Hao is worried about is also what everyone is worried about.

Wu Lei from the Wu family said, "There's nothing we can do about it. If the battle lines are set up outside, the card spirit masters and martial artists won't be able to withstand the first round."

Everyone realized the crisis posed by this beast tide.

If we can't hold on, the entire Southern Wilderness will fall.

"Where did these magical beasts come from?" Wu Xin from the Wu family asked.

He finally obtained the Saint-level White Tiger Card from the Mercenary Guild, thinking that he could return to Lingdu after accumulating more merits. He never expected that the beast tide would come so strangely, catching the entire Tiansheng City off guard.

Once Tiansheng City falls, all his efforts over the years will have been in vain.

Wen Boquan always followed behind Huang Yongqing, and he was the one who issued the orders for Huang Yongqing's deployment of the entire Tiansheng City.

Hearing the concerns of several Saint-level Card Spirit Masters, he sighed and said, "Alas, there are still twenty-six Saint-level array eyes in the Prefect's residence."

At crucial moments, everyone shared their knowledge without reservation.

The head of the Tang family said, "The Tang family has ten members."

The head of the Li family said, "There are eleven members in the Li family."

The head of the Wu family: "There are eight members in the Wu family."

The head of the Wu family said, "There are nine members in the Wu family."

The head of the Qin family: "Ten members of the Qin family."

Feng Qing from Fengyun Academy said, "Fengyun Academy has fifteen academies."

The vice-principal of the Martial Arts Academy said, "There are five Martial Arts Academies."

The Martial Arts Academy only started enrolling students this year, and these five Saint-level array eyes were specially left by General Ming to prevent accidental use.

The head of the Mercenary Guild said, "There are ten Mercenary Guilds."

Several Saint-level Card Spirit Masters also had their secrets hidden; all of them combined possessed a total of eighty-two Saint-level array eyes.

Based on this calculation, there are currently 160 Saint-level array eyes available for use in the entire Tiansheng City.

Huang Yongqing gathered all this information and began planning the next defensive battle.

-

The card masters and warriors who went to kill the monsters fought and retreated, and they soon returned to Tiansheng City.

At this moment, the barrier around Tiansheng City had been opened, and a faint spiritual light enveloped the sky above Tiansheng City.

After the card spirit masters and martial artists retreated back into the barrier, those with intermediate cultivation levels were already exhausted, while those with advanced cultivation levels could barely resist.

Protected by the barrier, the novice card spirit masters and warriors began to fight.

There were too many monsters attacking the city, and the card masters and warriors could not resist them. The monsters' attacks landed on the barrier.

The transparent barrier was attacked, causing ripples of water-like spiritual patterns to appear, and the barrier's power was rapidly being depleted.

At the East Gate, Xie Yuwei led her younger siblings in fighting on the front lines.

She activated a high-level Golden Bell Shield, which covered the front of the city gate. Any card spirit masters and martial artists who were exhausted of spiritual energy could enter the Golden Bell Shield to recuperate.

After activating the Golden Bell Shield, Xie Yuwei controlled the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon to kill the magical beast.

She demonstrated this skill in front of everyone, and the students of Fengyun Academy realized that she was a high-level card spirit master. Moreover, like Xie Yuchen, she could control multiple cards at the same time.

Not far from Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuchen was also controlling a high-level Golden Bell Shield and a Purple Flame Black Lion.

The Advanced Golden Bell Shield provides defense for the students of Fengyun Academy, while the Purple Flame Black Lion kills the magical beast.

Not to be outdone, Xie Yufei also activated a mid-level Golden Bell Shield, controlling the Fire Cloud Sparrow to kill enemies.

It was only after the siblings demonstrated such skill that everyone realized they could control multiple cards simultaneously.

Is this a family trait?
Or do they have different cultivation methods?
At this moment, with the monsters launching a fierce attack on the city, they couldn't afford to worry about anything else.

Humans and magical beasts fought fiercely outside Tiansheng City. No matter how many magical beasts the humans killed, they seemed endless.

Too many monsters died, and the demonic energy they left behind began to pollute the air outside the city.

The once clear sky began to turn gray.

Teachers like Chen Yuelin and Wu Yan from Fengyun Academy are all fighting on the front lines.

The vanguard of the beast tide consists of some low- and mid-level magical beasts.

The card masters and warriors of Tiansheng City fought until they were exhausted, but the number of these magical beasts did not decrease by even one inch.

Just as everyone was exhausted, flying magical beasts began to cross the defenses of the card masters and warriors and attack the barrier above Tiansheng City.

The barrier's power is rapidly diminishing.

"Three of the Li family's formation eyes have been shattered!"

"Two of the Qin family's array cores have also shattered!"

"Ten of the array's cores at Fengyun Academy have shattered!" The person who stayed behind to protect the array's cores used a communication card to inform Huang Yongqing at the command center of the situation.

Huang Yongqing's heart sank. He calmly issued the order: "Replenish the array core immediately if it is damaged. Make sure the barrier remains open."

"Yes!"

Everyone knows the importance of barriers.

"Pass the word down: we must shoot down the flying monsters in the sky and prevent them from continuing to attack the barrier."

If we let them attack the barrier like this, the barrier's core will eventually be exhausted.

Watching the monsters' orderly attack, Huang Yongqing said to everyone present, "This time, the monsters came prepared for the beast tide."

"They first deplete our combat strength, then they deplete our barrier."

"If the fighting continues, our main force and defenses will be exhausted sooner or later."

"They launched the attack with a purpose and a plan."

Seeing the dense swarms of magical beasts in the sky, Li Kui of the Li family immediately said, "I'll go deal with the magical beasts up there."

Huang Yongqing stopped him, saying, "Leave the monsters above to the Card Spirit Masters who have flying cards. You must conserve your strength. There are still a large number of high-level monsters and ten Saint-level monsters behind the beast tide."

After hearing Huang Yongqing's words, Li Kui refrained from taking action.

These Saint-level Card Masters needed to conserve their strength to deal with the Saint-level magical beasts behind them.

The heads of the five great families were no longer by their side; they led their family disciples and fought on the front lines.

Huang Yongqing's deployment orders were sent to the ears of every card spirit master and martial artist through communication cards.

When everyone realized that the flying monsters in the sky were causing great damage to the barrier, the card masters who possessed flying cards began to control their cards to attack those monsters.

Xie Yuwei and Xie Yuchen each summoned a Golden Roc and a Thunder Roc to attack the monsters in the sky.

The students around them stared in amazement at the brother and sister.

They have three cards, and each person can control all three cards simultaneously.

The battle quickly entered a daytime phase, and for an entire day, the magical beasts showed no signs of stopping. However, the card masters and warriors were exhausted and were all struggling to hold on.

The array's key points are being rapidly depleted, decreasing from 160 to 36.

Seeing that the number of array eyes was decreasing and the human race had almost lost its fighting power, Huang Yongqing had no choice but to send out several elders from the five great families to take action.

With the help of a Saint-level Card Spirit Master, the five of them killed the flying magical beasts in the sky and the magical beasts besieging Tiansheng City.

As soon as they made their move, a large number of monsters died.

Above, after those flying magical beasts were killed, many beast bones fell and were scattered throughout Tiansheng City.

After the five Saint-level Card Spirit Masters intervened, the pressure of the siege was finally relieved.

The card masters at the four main city gates—east, west, south, and north—breathed a sigh of relief; they finally had a chance to catch their breath.

However, just as they relaxed, the high-level magical beasts behind the beast tide made their move.

Unlike the previous low-level and mid-level magical beasts, these beasts still retain their rationality. They know the plan above and are determined to hold back these Saint-level Card Spirit Masters of Tiansheng City.

If high-level magical beasts cannot fight against Saint-level Card Spirit Masters, what about a hundred high-level magical beasts?
No matter how powerful a Saint-level Card Spirit Master is, they cannot defeat a hundred opponents single-handedly.

The five elders of the five major families were thus entangled by these high-level magical beasts.

Several Saint-level Card Spirit Masters were entangled, and the Card Spirit Masters and warriors who had just caught their breath were forced to continue resisting the magical beasts while supporting their exhausted bodies.

East Gate:
Xiang Cuicui, Fan Haonan, and Tian Dongrong have retreated into Xie Yuwei's Golden Bell Shield countless times to regulate their breathing.

The battle had lasted too long, and their spiritual energy had been excessively depleted, which had begun to affect their Qi Sea.

Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuchen, and Xie Yufei all cultivate the techniques given by the strange stone. The spiritual energy stored in their bodies is very dense, and their Qi Sea is stronger than others.

The students of Fengyun Academy had already exhausted themselves several times, but the three of them were still as if nothing had happened.

Given such an obvious contrast, it would be incredibly foolish of them not to notice anything unusual about Xie Yuwei and the other two.

Regardless of what others thought of him, Xie Yuchen said worriedly to Xiang Cuicui, Fan Haonan, and Tian Dongrong, "You should go back to the Golden Bell Shield and rest. If you keep going, you'll be ruined."

The three men smiled wryly; they wanted to back out too!
Once they retreat into the Golden Bell Shield, a gap will appear in their defenses, allowing the monsters to bypass the shield and attack the defensive barrier directly.

Even the most foolish person knows what the consequences would be for Tiansheng City if the defensive barrier were to break.

Seeing the monsters attacking the barrier, they were genuinely worried that the defensive barrier would break.

In several locations near the South Gate, the exhausted Card Masters were resting inside the barrier. When they saw the magical beasts attacking the barrier and cracks appearing in it, the Card Masters were terrified. They disregarded everything else and used their own bodies to block the attack.

The consequences of a Card Master using his physical body to fight are predictable.

They were torn to pieces by the monsters.

Because of their intervention, the barrier quickly regained its energy, and the cracks were soon repaired.

Because of these issues with the barrier, the card masters and warriors resisting the magical beasts dared not rest for long.

As the battle continued, the number of Card Masters and warriors who fell rose rapidly.

After several hundred high-level magical beasts entangled the retainers of the five great families, the holy-level magical beasts behind the beast tide also made their move.

Like streaks of light, they appeared from behind the beast horde in front of the barrier of Tiansheng City, intending to deliver the final blow to it.

"Stop them!" Huang Yongqing shouted sternly.

In an instant, Feng Qing, Lu Qiulin, Hu Yong, Xu Yan, Qiu Xing, and Lu Rongtao each faced a Saint-level magical beast, and they blocked the attacks of the Saint-level magical beasts.

Of the remaining four, Huang Yongqing fought off two alone.

"Wind Soars Divine Eagle, Black Tortoise!"

Two Saint-level cards were used to withstand the attack of two Saint-level magical beasts.

Xie Yuwei knew that the two remaining heads were the task Huang Yongqing had left for her.

Seeing that Tiansheng City was on the verge of collapse and that many card spirit masters and martial artists had already sacrificed their lives, Xie Yuwei could no longer stand idly by.

If she doesn't take action, Tiansheng City has no chance of winning.

She couldn't bear to watch the people of this city be slaughtered by monsters.

Therefore, after receiving the message from Huang Yongqing, she no longer cared about concealing her identity and directly shouted, "Go! Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird!"

A dragon's roar and howl soared straight into the sky!

The azure dragon and the fiery red Vermilion Bird blocked the attack the moment the monsters struck the barrier.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird appear out of thin air.

While resisting the high-level magical beasts, the five elders of the five major families couldn't help but look in shock at the imposing Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird.

Through their Saint-level divine sense, they knew that the person who activated these two cards was Xie Yuwei.

The marquis had been taking care of the young girl, who was said to be the son of an old friend.

Can she control Saint-level cards?
Seeing her effortless demeanor, her identity became obvious—

Thank you for the monthly pass!

good night!
