Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

"Human, can your words be trusted?"

"You are the weakest human here, yet what gives you the right to offer me terms?"

Zhang Yun calmly replied, "You don't have to believe me."

"But as I said before, you have no choice."

"We have no other choice."

"Either we join forces to kill Gongzi Yu, and you'll have a chance to survive, and you might even gain your freedom."

"Either you watch us get killed, and then you face a raging Golden Core cultivator alone."

"How do you think you have a chance of winning?"

Zhang Yun's words, with an almost cold honesty, struck Ner'zhul's heart like a heavy hammer.

There were no flowery words, no pretense, only a resolute openness that laid bare reality!

Ner'zhul remained silent.

The dark green soul fire in his eye sockets flickered violently, like a candle dying in the wind, or the sea before a storm, surging with waves.

It is struggling.

On one side is the millennium-old pride of being the overlord of the lost city; on the other side is the cold and cruel reality; and on yet another side is the distrust of humanity.

Gongzi Yu wanted to kill it, refine its dragon bones, and dissolve its soul fire.

Especially this damned human boy, he was the one who woke me up, and I feel that the most evil human here is this kid!

Now, this kid wants me to lend him a hand, damn it!

But, as he said, it had no choice!

Finally, Ner'zhul roared to the heavens with a deafening roar!

"hold head high--!!!"

The dragon's roar tore through the sky, and the dark green soul fire surged like a volcanic eruption, dyeing half the sky an eerie green.

The green light pierced through the clouds, reflecting on everyone's faces, creating a play of light and shadow, like a ghostly realm.

The Bone Dragon's voice rang out once more.

His tone carried a resolute determination: "Fine! Human, I'll trust you this once!"

"If you dare to lie to me, even if my soul is scattered, I will drag you down with me!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Gongzi Yu watched quietly, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.

The laughter was like the hooting of an owl, sharp and piercing, echoing endlessly over the ruins.

"A skeleton, a Qi-refining ant, and two little girls from the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect!"

"You bunch of ants, even if you all attack me together, I won't take you seriously!"

"Now that your monkey show is over, prepare to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden core above his head shone brightly!

The golden and red light burst forth like a blazing sun in the sky, illuminating the entire eastern part of the city in a magnificent golden glow.

The light was scorching and domineering; wherever it passed, the air distorted, rocks shattered, and even the ground began to tremble slightly.

A terrifying and suffocating surge of true energy spread outwards like a tsunami, carrying an overwhelming force that enveloped the entire battlefield!

The oppressive aura of a Golden Core cultivator swept across the entire area!

Even Li Mobai and Xiao Lan, who were hiding hundreds of meters away, felt a tightness in their chests and difficulty breathing, as if an invisible giant hand was choking them.

At this moment, they all stared in horror at Gongzi Yu in the sky, as if they were looking at a god, their faces turning deathly pale!

This secret realm clearly has many rules and restrictions, yet... it actually allows terrifying cultivators to enter.

This is a chance for them to choose again, and they would never dare to set foot in this ancient city!

At this moment, facing the overwhelming power, Zhang Yun's figure also slightly slumped, and his face turned extremely ugly!

Clearly, this young master Yu is even more terrifying than he imagined!

Even if he reveals all his cards, he is still no match for him!

What's truly terrifying about him is... he doesn't seem to underestimate his opponents!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have unleashed such terrifying power!

Su Wanrou's expression also changed slightly. Yu Ruyi hurriedly waved out a white light shield to protect her whole body. The surface of the light shield trembled violently like water ripples.

Clearly, she was also intimidated by Gongzi Yu's terrifying aura, and retreated without leaving a trace.

Only Ling Qingxue remained unmoved!

"Let's fight!"

She gave a cold shout and raised the Frost Snow Sword high!

Om-!

A silver-white pill slowly appeared above her head!

That was her half-step Golden Core!

Although it has not yet fully condensed into a pill, it already exudes an aura no weaker than that of a true golden pill.

The silvery-white light rose like a cold moon, standing in stark contrast to Gongzi Yu's golden-red light in the night sky. One was cold, the other hot; one was righteous, the other evil; they were clearly distinct!

At the same time, her natal weapon, the Frost and Snow Sword, also emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.

Om-!

A thin layer of frost condensed and spread on the sword at a visible speed, and the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees!

The sword flashed like a bolt of lightning, its chilling aura palpable!

"Ling Qingxue, a disciple of the Xuantian Immortal Sect, today acts on behalf of Heaven to slay demons and eliminate evil!"

"Frost and Snow Sword, slay the villains!"

As soon as Ling Qingxue finished speaking, the Frost and Snow Sword, carrying the chill of the heavens, slashed out.

The sword light, like a silver ribbon, stretched across the sky, aiming straight for Gongzi Yu's throat!

This sword strike was so fast that the air didn't even have time to make a sound. Only a silver line silently streaked across the night sky, as if it wanted to split the entire world in two!

"You, a mere half-step Golden Core cultivator, dare to spout such nonsense before me?"

"I'd like to see whether your sword is faster or my blade is!"

Gongzi Yu sneered and formed a hand seal.

The next instant, a black blade of light shot out from the golden core above his head!

It was a long, jet-black sword.

The blade was covered with dark red evil patterns, exuding a chilling aura of malevolence. Around it, countless distorted human faces could be vaguely seen struggling and wailing, screaming silently.

Those distorted faces are the countless souls refined by this evil blade!

This is Gongzi Yu's natal soul blade—Shahun!

The Fiend Soul is forged from the souls of countless living beings and has drunk countless amounts of blood. Once unsheathed, the world changes color, and even the withered bones buried under the ruins tremble and make a faint creaking sound!

clang--!!

Swords clashed in the sky, exploding into a shower of sparks!

The terrifying energy fluctuations swept outwards like a tsunami, instantly leveling the ruins within a radius of a hundred meters!

Ling Qingxue's figure suddenly froze, and she was forced back several steps, a trace of bright red blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

In their first encounter, Ling Qingxue was at a disadvantage!

The insurmountable gap between a half-step Golden Core cultivator and a true Golden Core cultivator was laid bare at this moment!

While resisting the surging energy fluctuations, Zhang Yun looked over here with an extremely ugly expression!

This girl from the Xuantian Sword Sect seems unreliable!
