Supreme Star Card Master

Outside, Frank flew to Iren Ting’s side and exhaled slightly in relief.

“Good thing you’re here, otherwise dealing with such intense Divine Fire would’ve cost me quite an effort,” he said.

Iren Ting’s expression was solemn. “It’s just that my abilities happen to slightly counteract it. If this Divine Fire were any stronger, I wouldn’t have been able to block it either.”

Frank gazed at the distant mountain cliffs, where smoke and dust surged, and furrowed his brow. “Then let’s finish them off quickly, before any more surprises occur.”

*It was just an insignificant Gold Level opponent—normally, I could crush them effortlessly with a single finger.*

*This time, the three of us not only joined forces but also executed such meticulous preparations, yet problems kept arising.*

*We haven’t even killed the target yet, and Gerry has already fallen at their hands!*

*Frank’s heart surged with irritation and an ominous hint of anxiety, as though something unpredictable might still happen if this continues.*

“Fine, let’s kill them as fast as we can!”

Murderous intent surged in Iren Ting’s eyes, and she was impatient to act. Without hesitation, she raised her slender sword, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot forward with extreme speed.

Frank’s figure flickered as he soared upward to follow her.

But just then, the rocks rolling at the entrance of the cave suddenly fragmented and exploded. Before Iren Ting, flying swiftly forward, could react, a figure shot out from within at lightning speed.

“Boom!”

Frank heard a muffled impact, and then saw Iren Ting, who had just rushed out, fly backward past him!

The turbulent air currents disheveled Frank’s golden hair as he looked ahead, his pupils constricting.

A young man, unfamiliar yet somewhat recognizable, hovered in midair, gazing quietly at him.

Clad in a Black Flame Illusion Robe, with white hair and silver eyes, cold yet strikingly beautiful, dragon horns, and a dragon tail—

This figure held an Ice Crystal White Blade in his left hand and a Demon Red Saber in his right. His aura fluctuated chaotically, obscure and unreadable, yet it radiated an extreme sense of danger to Frank.

“What is this?!” Frank’s heart trembled in fear.

This white-haired figure was none other than the fused entity born from Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.

The Ice and Fire Interweaving Ring enabled the fusion of two beings with aligned intentions and mastery over Ice and Fire Powers.

After obtaining this ring, Su Yuan specifically sought out the Frost Giant Dragon and Hellfire to create a fusion pair.

However, Su Yuan had never imagined using the artifact on two individuals, as sharing the same intention from the depths of one’s heart was elusive for two people.

*Even with successful fusion, a slight mismatch in will or goals could lead to fusion rejection.*

*Perhaps because their hearts had aligned with a shared intention, the Ice and Fire Interweaving Ring actively guided their fusion moments ago.*

Now, Su Yuan—or better yet, let’s call them Su Luo.

Su Luo stared at Frank with cold eyes, taking one step forward. In an instant, he appeared right in front of Frank, unleashing a double-blade strike with explosive power.

It wasn’t Instant Teleportation; it was speed pushed to the absolute limit!

“So fast!”

Frank’s complexion changed as he raised his golden, radiating fist to meet the assault.

“Clang clang clang…!”

The twin blades collided rapidly with Frank’s fists, producing bursts of black-and-white Star Power mixed with golden light.

“Boom!”

Within mere moments, Frank faltered under the assault and was struck heavily by one of Su Luo’s blades, sending him flying backward.

Under immense force, Frank grunted, his body rocked by the impact, causing a faint trickle of blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

Luckily, his white robe—a manifestation of the Holy Manifestation Technique—proved remarkably resilient. The flowing radiance defended against Su Luo’s deadly strike.

*What terrifying power and speed!*

Despite his shock, Frank’s hands moved without hesitation.

Frank’s forte wasn’t his physical body but his astonishing mastery of Star Power!

As Su Luo prepared to chase him, Frank, who had been ready for this, raised his hand and formed a seal.

“Divine Punishment Heavenly Light!”

High above, a flash of Spirit Light ignited as an extremely dazzling beam of golden energy plummeted downward—a technique Frank had used earlier to ambush Su Yuan.

“Boom!!”

The golden light exploded in midair, unleashing an incredible tidal surge of Spirit Light that instantly filled half the sky.

“Did it hit?!”

A hint of joy flashed in Frank’s eyes.

Initially concerned about Su Yuan using Phase Transfer to evade the attack, Frank hadn’t expected his slight feint to fool his opponent so thoroughly.

“Still too young… huh?”

Frank’s smile froze. Through the turbulent tides of golden light, he could faintly make out an enormous figure taking form within.

“What is that?!”

Two massive Black Fire hands tore through the golden light surge, revealing a pitch-black entity with frozen skeletal structures—Void Evil Manifestation·Ice Bone!

The original Void Evil Manifestation was merely Entry-level, with limited power.

But now, fused with Luo Bingtong, it had acquired fragments of the Power of Ten Thousand Transformation Profound Ice, condensing Mystic Ice Bone within.

No matter the type of Divine Fire, its core attribute was destructive power.

Likewise, the ultimate attribute of Mystic Ice was its unparalleled hardness.

The Void Evil Manifestation, boasting the bone structure formed from Mystic Ice Energy, now possessed defense capabilities elevated to an extraordinary level!

That wasn’t all—Void Evil Manifestation spread its hands, summoning two ice sabers nearly fifty meters long that materialized amidst the frost. Black flames naturally coiled around the sabers, dramatically amplifying their destructive potential!

Frank stared at the dramatically altered Void Evil Manifestation bathed in the tidal waves of golden light, momentarily rendered speechless.

The Divine Punishment Heavenly Light was one of the epic [Holy Temple Secret Scripture] skills renowned for its penetrating force and explosive power; yet it was utterly neutralized here.

At that moment, the Void Evil Manifestation swung its fifty-meter-long blades in an unrelenting assault!

So fast!

Frank’s heart skipped a beat, and he hastily activated his defense skills.

“Star Cross Secret Shield!” Frank shouted in desperation.

Golden Cross Holy Light flashed above him, instantly forming a giant rectangular Light Shield.

“Boom!”

The muffled sound rang out as layers of cracks spread across the Cross Light Shield. In less than half a second, it shattered under the force of the ice-and-fire blades!

The overpowering shockwave exploded outward, and though Frank narrowly dodged the direct strike, the residual force struck him harshly, sending him crashing to the ground and spewing blood.

Just as the Void Evil Manifestation prepared to launch another attack, a flash of fire appeared—a golden flame figure rapidly darting behind the Void Evil Manifestation. It was Iren Ting.

Golden flames flared as Iren Ting’s sword glimmered blindingly. In mere seconds, she unleashed dozens of rapid strikes!

Threads of Sword Qi hovered in the air, all converging as Iren Ting drove her final strike—a culmination of all her previous attacks.

As she raised her longsword, countless golden flames swirled around it.

Simultaneously, the Sword Qi lodged in the Void Evil Manifestation’s back consolidated into a brilliant golden Hexagram radiant with gold-fire energy!

Iren Ting’s eyes shone with fierce determination as she catapulted herself forward, landing atop the Void Evil Manifestation before plunging her sword downward.

“Star… Burst!!” Iren Ting screamed furiously.

Her sword pierced the center of the Hexagram, which then blazed with blistering radiance.

“BOOM!”

A thunderous explosion erupted, with horrifying golden flames surging over the Void Evil Manifestation, the fearsome light bursting skyward, piercing through mountains and scattering layers of clouds.

This was Iren Ting’s ultimate move.

The fusion of light and flame within the epic sword technique capable of penetrating all—Holy Flame Star Burst!

“Huff… huff…”

Within moments of energy overload, exhaustion swept across Iren Ting as she panted lightly, her gaze fixated on the dissipating golden flames ahead.

Down on the ground, Frank wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and also stared intently into the sky.

It was evident that Iren Ting intended for this overwhelming strike to pierce directly through the Void Evil Manifestation’s heart—specifically, Su Luo.

As the flames faded, there appeared layers upon layers of densely packed Mystic Ice Bone encasing the heart of the Void Evil Manifestation.

Completely unharmed!

“That just… blocked it?”

Both Iren Ting and Frank froze momentarily in stunned disbelief.

Su Luo didn’t pause for a second. His hands moved simultaneously—his left hand forming seals while his right hand gestured as if grasping something. He put forth his prepared magic technique without hesitation.

Under Frank’s feet, radiant frost surged as the Ice Palace rose from the ground, trapping him completely inside.

Twelve Sky Locks shot out from the void, surrounding Iren Ting’s body with unrelenting force, immobilizing her voluptuous yet graceful frame.

“No!”

*Iren Ting’s mind reeled in shock. She activated her Body of the Melting Furnace at full power, working to simultaneously dissolve the Sky Locks’ Space Power while struggling to break free.*

But before she could act further, icy brilliance descended. Iren Ting forced her head up, only to see a fifty-meter-long ice blade mercilessly slicing down toward her.

“Clang!”

“Ah!!…”

*Having managed to slightly loosen the locks constraining her movements, Iren Ting cried out in agony as the blade tore into her shoulder, shattering flesh and splintering bone.*

The supreme defense of her Body of the Melting Furnace shielded her from being instantly cleaved apart by the massive ice blade towering over her body a hundredfold in size!

However, the next moment, layers of pitch-black Space Power flowed along the blade into its entire length, emanating waves of terrifying energy that could sever all in its path.

*Iren Ting’s eyes widened in horror, her expression overtaken by utter despair.*

“No no no… Ahhh—!”

Blood spattered madly as her anguished scream abruptly halted; Iren Ting was cut from her shoulder downward, splitting cleanly into two halves—dead on the spot!
