Strange Cards

Shigure lowered his body and propelled himself forward with a powerful push from his hind legs.

Its near-flash speed left Joker no time to defend, and after Joker retrieved another Joker and became its complete form, it was even no longer afraid of Mortal Blade.

When Joker was attacked by Shigure Mortal Blade, he simply raised his arm to block, as if the two weapons that were the only ones that could counter Joker had lost their only purpose.

Only Shigure himself knew that these two weapons were actually intended to kill the Joker.

But it's not meant to kill those two on the other side.

Shigure wields two swords, yet his speed remains impressive; a simple dash can generate a sonic boom.

Joker held a halberd and continuously parried Shigure's attacks.

After her sneak attack failed, Shigure stepped on Joker's halberd, used the momentum to flip backward, and then swung out the Tear of the Goddess in her left hand.

The crimson tears of worship, like long spears, went straight for the Joker's halberd-wielding hand.

After landing, Shigure used the door to steady himself, and then suddenly used the door to stab into the void beside him.

As a huge rift was torn open in the void, the phantom of the Ghost Asura emerged from the void.

Ghost Asura had long since disappeared into the underworld, but Shigure could still summon his phantom by opening the door.

After Bai Lei was blocked by Joker's halberd, Joker swung the blade back, and the tip of the blade went straight for Shigure's face.

After Shigure dodged the attack by leaning back, he grabbed Bai Lei's sword hilt with his hand. At that moment, the phantom of the Ghost Asura sat down with a nine-eared golden ring sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Shi Yu once again used the door-opening technique to summon two phantom figures, and the two phantom figures that walked out of the crack in the next moment were the brothers Bai Qi and Bai Zhong.

After summoning three phantom images, Shigure collapsed to his knees due to exhaustion. If it weren't for the two Mortal Blades in his hands, Shigure would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Shi Yu knew perfectly well how difficult it was to open the gates of the underworld.

After all, Bai Zhong had used it once before, and that was during the Battle of the South China Sea Ghost Gate, where Bai Zhong used his life to open the gates of the underworld and summon Bai Qi.

Although it summons a phantom and doesn't require sacrificing one's life, it still consumes a significant amount of energy for Shigure.

Shi Yu forcibly mobilized the energy circulation in her body to replenish her energy again. Just as she was about to stand up, a pair of hands pressed down on her shoulders.

"Give me control of the body, let me take over."

"You can't hold on much longer, log off and rest."

"Need not."

As Shi Yu took a few deep breaths, just as she was about to get up, A held her down firmly.

"What are you even doing playing in this condition? You should get off the court and rest."

"I can also use the Mortal Blade. These two swords were made from the Blades I once lost."

"If it weren't for my Blade, it wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the Dragon Vein. In your current state, going any further would just be suicide."

"Don't forget, we'll need your help later!"

Shiyu slapped A's hand away, released the knife from her hand, and then hugged A.

"We've been partners for so many years, and this seems to be the first time I've ever hugged you."

As Shiyu spoke, she put her mouth close to A's ear and whispered.

"I'm completely beyond saving."

"In that case, I'd like to be a shooting star."

"Even if it's just a fleeting glimpse, I want to shine just once in the last moment of my life."

"Devour my life in exchange for power."

"I know you can do it."

"..."

A fell silent, and just as she was about to speak, Shiyu released her grip on A and said...

Don't reject me.

"This is my last request in my life."

"..."

"As you wish."

"You'd better hold on, kid."

As A spoke, it entered Shigure's body, and Shigure clearly saw that the originally jet-black hair on her forehead turned snow-white in an instant.

Shigure suddenly felt an incredibly terrifying power erupting within him, and his life was rapidly slipping away.

This is the final killing move, allowing A to devour Shigure's life force through its power, in exchange for a final burst of life's brilliance.

Shiyu picked up the two knives from the ground, gripped them tightly, and then said.

"Please, watch carefully."

"This is my last bit of strength."

Shigure said to touch the ground with one foot, and this time the speed was even faster than the last time.

Shigure seemed to tear through space and time. Before Joker could react, he clenched his fist around the hilt of the sword, punched it, and then turned halfway to slash at it.

Before Joker could react, he was punched away by Shigure and then suddenly felt a draft in his chest.

Looking down, Joker saw the deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest.

"insect...."

"Don't be so arrogant!"

Joker raised his hand and used his power of destiny, forcibly imprisoning Shigure with the power of the torrent of destiny.

That terrifying force imprisoned it in mid-air and twisted its limbs to a highly contorted degree.

But Shigure's expression showed no pain; instead, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Joker, seeing that eerie smile, still had no idea what was happening.

Joker used his other free hand to modify the world. As Joker finished modifying it, a meteorite fell directly from the sky and hit Shigure hard.

Shigure did not dodge, but instead opened her arms to take the hit head-on.

The instant the meteorite struck the ground, countless flashes of light turned the world black and white for a fleeting moment.

As a cross-shaped slash shot out from the meteorite, the massive meteorite was sliced ​​into countless fragments by Shigure's swordsmanship.

"not good!"

"Die, you bug!"

Joker used both world-altering and fate-altering abilities simultaneously. After receiving two Joker abilities at the same time, Shigure finally couldn't hold back and started laughing out loud.

At this moment, the seed of ability within Shigure, which had been dormant for so long, began to take root and sprout under the impetus of fate, and quickly produced the corresponding ability.

And this ability is the key to Shiyu's comeback.

……

Liu Yu, who had been under protection at the Hunter's Base for a long time, felt uneasy. Looking at the South China Sea Mountain top that was constantly making noises on the conference room screen, her heart couldn't help but pound.

The blood-red mountain, stained with blood, foreshadowed the fierce battle fought on it, and at that moment, the Asura within Liu Yu awakened.

Qi Nannan and Gu Yue watched as Liu Yu's hair turned white in an instant, and a tear of blood streamed down her face from her already reddened eyes.

Looking at the Asura Karmic Fire that was already burning fiercely within her body, Liu Yu instantly remembered what Shi Yu had once told her.

"I am now a demon."

"Back then, wasn't Brother Yu just..."
