My cards can be infinitely combined.

Chapter 588 My Cards Work

The mysteries of Zhou Nan's cards are unknown to most people. When the people around him saw him simply snap his fingers and a green card appear in front of him without any fighting stance, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Only the Duke of Zhenguo, Jian Jiujiu, and that sword immortal with a four-digit number at level 500 could discern the clues.

"This is a seal of divine power, isn't it?" Jian Jiujiu said. "It's a very strange item; I wonder what mysteries it holds."

"What? A divine power sealed artifact?" a sword immortal muttered from the side. "This isn't fair. What kind of skill is it to fight with a divine power sealed artifact? Divine power is the most mysterious and difficult to master, such as immortal divinity, evolutionary divinity, and so on. If your strength hasn't reached a certain level, it's simply impossible to deal with it!"

"Indeed, using treasures in a contest is tantamount to cheating. Our sword-testing and martial arts competitions are about showcasing our own skills and cultivation. What's the point of using external magical artifacts?"

"A contest isn't a fight to the death; losing doesn't matter. Why resort to external means?"

"Sir, we acknowledge that there was a misunderstanding regarding the previous engagement. You may withdraw your sword. If you do not wish to fight, that is also fine. We will not return. Please put away the divine power sealing artifact."

"If we're going to compete with treasures, why don't we also offer a spirit-enchanted immortal sword?"

"JX3368541, step back. You're not even level 300 yet, just a Great Swordsman, not a Sword Immortal. You've encountered a divine power-sealing artifact..."

Zhou Nan, with his sharp hearing and keen eyesight, could hear distant sounds clearly, and couldn't help but frown.

He knew that the swordsmen and immortals in Yunluo Mountain were definitely more knowledgeable than him, and that "cards" were clearly outside their area of ​​understanding.

At this moment, Duke Badas said, "Gentlemen, you may not know this, but this young man is a divine being, and his divine power is almost of supreme quality. It is perfectly reasonable for him to use his divine power to seal the artifact."

"What, a divine being?"

"I've heard that beyond Earth, a deep-space probe created a void of imagination, attracting many time travelers. Yue Baiting and this person should have ascended from that void, shouldn't they have had their earth souls reshaped and been reincarnated as humans? How come this person is a divine being?"

"If this gentleman is a divine being, then using divine power sealing artifacts is not a problem. Let the contest continue..."

The group of sword immortals started discussing it again.

Zhou Nan said, "Everyone, may we begin?"

Sword 3368541, standing with his sword in the training ground, was resolute in his attitude, saying, "Brother Zhou comes from the Void of Imagination. Even if he becomes a divine being, his cultivation time is still short. I, on the other hand, have cultivated swordsmanship since childhood and spent over two hundred years in the mountains. My swordsmanship has reached its peak, and I can also control a sword. Zhou Nan may not be able to defeat me. Please!"

Zhou Nan nodded without hesitation, and pointed at the five-star green Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger card. The card immediately enlarged, turning into a door panel, and landed vertically in the training ground with a bang. Then, a flash of light appeared on it, and a Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger with a tiger's head and a human body, holding a large sword and wearing armor, walked out of the card.

The Heavenly King Tiger emanated a faint green light, with five small green five-pointed stars on its head. After appearing, it roared first, and then, like a warrior charging into battle, it brandished its sword and mounted its horse, assuming a fighting stance.

The cards then slowly dissipated.

Zhou Nan now uses cards with a sense of freedom, allowing them to display various special effects, just like now.

The summoned cards with stars above their heads represent the perfection of Zhou Nan's card rules.

"It really is a sealed artifact of divine power!"

"Is a war general sealed within?"

"Such divine power-sealing artifacts are extremely rare!"

"I've heard that divine power sealing artifacts are named for the divine beings or divine power they seal within them. So, is this warrior a divine being?"

"This general looks very imposing, but I wonder how strong he is in combat..."

The group of sword immortals left the martial arts arena, quite curious about Zhou Nan's cards.

In the blink of an eye, after the green five-pointed star "Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger" appeared, the junior brother also began to take action. He gave a light shout, drew his long sword, and rushed straight towards Zhou Nan, wanting to fight him in close combat.

With a clang.

The Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger, intercepting him halfway. A Spring and Autumn Greatsword was wielded with tremendous force, slashing Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi and his sword aside with a single blow. Then, the Greatsword continued to advance, sweeping, chopping, thrusting, and slicing with a whooshing sound, forcing Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi to retreat more than ten steps.

Next, the two exchanged sword and saber blows, like wandering knights of the martial world, their swordsmanship sharp and their movements unparalleled, displaying incredible speed, like battle-hardened generals, brave and domineering, their broadswords sweeping across the battlefield, unstoppable.

In a sword duel, the first thing to do is to test swordsmanship, and the contest is to see whose swordsmanship is more exquisite.

This is tradition.

Although the sword immortals of Yunluo Mountain can use sword energy and other attack methods, they prefer close combat in duels.

Reaching level 300 and becoming a Sword Immortal means you can now control your sword!

Jian San 368541 is very confident in his swordsmanship. He believes that based on his swordsmanship alone, he can definitely be among the top 100 swordsmen after number 3 million. Even among the sword immortals within number 3 million, there must be someone whose swordsmanship is inferior to his. When he competed with Yue Baiting, he easily won with his swordsmanship.

This time, however, he was completely suppressed by Tianwang Gaidihu, who was clad in armor and wielding a long-handled broadsword. His combat skills were also inferior. No matter how he attacked, Tianwang Gaidihu could deal with him with ease. His broadsword was also heavy. When his own longsword made slight contact with it, it was as if he was hit by a giant hammer, which would make his palm hurt. He had to hold on to it with all his might to keep his longsword from falling out of his hand.

After a few moves, Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi dared not fight head-on anymore. He relied solely on his agile movements to constantly move around, completely failing to display the elegance and grace of his sword, which only highlighted the power and invincibility of his opponent's long-handled broadsword.

He had to admit that his opponent's swordsmanship and strength were superior to his own.

Zhou Nan wasn't entirely surprised by this situation.

The Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, and his combat techniques are naturally superb.

"Impressive martial arts skills!"

"Truly a divine general! His bravery and martial prowess are beyond compare to even the sword immortals!"

"His swordsmanship is powerful and deadly, each strike fatal; his strength gives him an absolute advantage!"

Some of the sword immortals watching the battle exclaimed in amazement.

Sword 3368541 in the arena turned pale. He wanted to attack Zhou Nan, but after trying, he had to admit that using conventional methods, it was impossible to break through the Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger.

"This divine general possesses superb martial arts skills and wields a long weapon. If we only use close-quarters swordsmanship, it will be difficult to defeat him. In that case... let's use swordsmanship!"

After a moment's thought, Jian Sansanliu 8541 decided to abandon the swordsmanship contest. He suddenly released his sword, formed a hand seal, and the sword rang out with a clang before soaring into the air. With another soft shout, red lightning flashed across the sword, transforming it into a crimson bolt of lightning that flew down, its target still Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan stood still, and the Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger's unparalleled speed immediately blocked the flying sword attack. With a single slash, he sent the crimson lightning-like sword flying backward. With a bang, the sword that was knocked away shot to the ground like lightning, blasting a small crater in the ground. The sword then quickly flew up again, turned in mid-air, and launched another attack.

Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi was controlling his sword from a distance, constantly changing his hand seals. His precious sword seemed to have turned into a crimson lightning bolt, which he manipulated to change direction continuously.

Unfortunately, while the flying sword was fast, the Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger was also fast. His broadsword seemed to have an auto-locking cheat, and it could always slash the sword away.

Just over two minutes later, with a clang, Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi, who was flying on his sword in the distance, suddenly turned pale. He paused, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His longsword was actually broken in two by the Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger and fell to the ground.

"How is this possible? My sword is made of materials from a celestial sword; how could it be broken?"

Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi stared in disbelief at the sword that had been broken in two.

The sword immortals and swordsmen in the distance were also greatly surprised, all thinking that the big sword in the hands of Tianwang Gaidihu was a divine weapon.

Little did they know that the long-handled broadsword in the hands of Tianwang Gaidihu was not, strictly speaking, a physical object. It was connected to Tianwang Gaidihu, like a part of his body. The reason why Tianwang Gaidihu was able to cut through Jian Sansanliu Bawu Siyi's longsword was still due to his peerless martial arts skills.

Unparalleled martial arts skills are not only reflected in martial arts techniques, but also in a more important aspect: switching attack types to deal powerful damage to the target. Under Zhou Nan's divine power, this ability is also manifested in reality, and cutting a precious sword is nothing special.

Sword 336854 was broken, so the sword control naturally stopped. He felt sad and with a wave of his hand, he temporarily summoned a long sword from the weapon rack next to the training ground.

At this moment, Tianwang Gaidihu took the initiative to attack. He stepped forward with his sword, as fierce as a tiger and a dragon. With one slash, he cut down another sword. He retreated, constantly sending swords from the sidelines into the arena, but none of the swords he sent could withstand Tianwang Gaidihu's casual slash. One after another, they were cut down.

After a short while, Tianwang Gaidihu cut down 36 longswords. In fact, his speed was no slower than Jian Sansanliubawusiyi's. At this moment, he suddenly put his broadsword against Jian Sansanliubawusiyi's neck. The latter turned pale and dared not move at all.

Zhou Nan stopped the attack of the Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger; otherwise, the green five-pointed Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger could have severed Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi's head with a single strike.

"The outcome is decided. Let's end this here!"

Zhou Nan snapped his fingers again, looking relaxed and nonchalant. The Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger card in the arena returned to the card with a bang and disappeared into thin air.

"This card still has three stacks of energy left to use... So, the three-star green Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger should be able to defeat this level 283 great swordsman, right? Can I say that I can kill a swordsman who is nearly level 300 in less than a second?"

Zhou Nan silently summarized.

In the real world, his card summons consume "energy" when they fight, and they disappear when their energy is depleted.

Zhou Nan had grasped this point long ago. For example, Wang Ba Zhenjun, who had learned moves such as "Fu Tian Xuan Huang" and "Po Mie Shen Ji", would consume a spoonful of Qi every time he used a palm technique.

The Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger has no active skills, but it consumes "Qi" at a fast pace. When it uses its unparalleled martial arts to cut the longsword, it consumes Qi!

In short, in this battle with Jian San 368541, the green five-star Tianwang Gaidihu only consumed about two handfuls of Qi.

Zhou Nan was too lazy to retract his qi. He had already cultivated more qi within his body than he could retract when he made the retraction action.

"I lost!" Jian San 368541 bowed to Zhou Nan and left the stage in a sorry state.

Zhou Nan returned the greeting with a cupped-fist salute, and Yue Baiting also bowed apologetically to him. Then she ran into the training ground, exclaiming in surprise, "Zhou Nan, you're so strong! Your cards are amazing!"

"So-so!" Zhou Nan laughed. "If you like, I'll give you some."

"Great!" Yue Baiting whispered, "They say you're a divine being?"

"good!"

"Are you no longer human?"

"You've stopped being human!"

"So... will your daily life be affected?"

"Don't worry, it won't have any impact."

"Can you still have children?"

"Hmm...okay!"

"I hope it won't just be a card when it's born...."

Zhou Nan smiled and said, "That's possible. I haven't researched it, but maybe we can give it a try."

At this moment, Jian Jiujiu, the Duke of Zhenguo, Jian Sansanliubawusiyi, and his clan elders came to Zhou Nan's side again.

"Sir, your sealed artifact is truly remarkable!" Jian Jiujiu laughed. "With such an artifact, if you were to rank items in my empire, you would be at least level 300."

Zhou Nan smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhenguo Gongdao said, "Sir, we have never seen such a divine power-sealing artifact before. May we ask where that great sword-wielding divine general came from?"

"It comes from wishful thinking." Zhou Nan didn't explain further. "If the Duke of Zhenguo likes it, I'll give you one."

The Duke of Zhenguo exclaimed in surprise, "Give me one? You mean I can use your divine power-sealing artifact too?"

"Yes!"

"I hope there won't be any backlash from divine power."

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "No, it's safe and harmless!"

As he spoke, he read the life card and handed the Duke of Zhenguo a nine-star green Heavenly King Covering the Earth Tiger card. After a moment's thought, he gave him another nine-star green True Greatsword God General card.

The True Greatsword God General and the Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger look exactly the same. However, in Zhou Nan's automatically generated card pool, the green card Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger's skill is [Peerless Martial Arts], while the green card True Greatsword God General's skill is [Martial Soul Mark].

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled broadly and immediately accepted the two nine-star green cards as if they were precious treasures.

Zhou Nan explained to him that the energy of the cards would be consumed as they were used, and they would disappear once the energy was exhausted. Then he looked at Jian San San Liu Ba Wu Si Yi, who looked dejected, and said, "Junior Brother, thank you for taking care of my wife. I have five cards here. If you don't mind, please accept them as compensation for damaging your precious sword."

After saying that, Zhou Nan snapped his fingers, and five nine-star green cards appeared in front of him.

One of them is the Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal card. The green card has the [Sword Qi Wave] skill. [Sword Qi Wave] is an enhanced nuclear-powered sword qi, which is much more powerful than ordinary sword qi.

The other four are [Swordsman's Tool - Crimson Sky Sword]. The original version of this card was synthesized by Zhou Nan in the game before. It is considered an equipment card. Since it is a card, it can be created by him.

The Green Card Crimson Sky Sword possesses the Crimson Sky special effect, which increases attack, speed, and critical hit rate. In Zhou Nan's opinion, it is much stronger than the shattered sword from Sword 3368541. Unfortunately, this sword is essentially a consumable item; if used too much, its energy will be depleted, and it will disappear.

However, Zhou Nan thought that four cards should be enough for a while.

Jian San 368541 said nothing, silently cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Zhou Nan, and accepted the card.

Jian Jiujiu was quite tempted and cupped his hands to Zhou Nan. Before he could speak, Zhou Nan also gave him a nine-star green nuclear-powered sword immortal card. After thinking for a moment, he simply gave one to each of the other sword immortals as well.

Anyway, he can make two or three of these cards in a single breath, without much effort.
