Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 876: Chapter 681: The Last Battle

After Yue Bi killed Marth with one strike, she took a couple of deep breaths.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, giving her a chance, and she indeed seized it.

The fact that Yue Bi could cut this assassin in half with one strike shows that her attack power is strong.

Yue Bi took a deep breath, looking up at Su Yuan in front of her, with a much more serious expression in her eyes.

She had been fighting for so long and had only inflicted some minor injuries on the assassin, but when he arrived, with such speed that the naked eye could barely follow and such formidable strength, he instantly struck the assassin down, and it seemed intentional to hew in her direction...

A master shows their skills as soon as they act.

Yue Bi’s eyes narrowed slightly; this person is definitely not an ordinary expert!

But soon, Yue Bi remembered and said urgently, ”Master Yang has been taken away, hurry up...”

”No rush, she’s with me.”

Su Yuan raised his hand, and amidst the shimmering silver light, the unharmed Yang Aoshan appeared beside them.

Yang Aoshan smiled and said, ”I worried Major General Yue, I’m fine.”

”Huh...??” Yue Bi was stunned, looking at Su Yuan in confusion, ”Did you rescue Master Yang?”

Su Yuan pondered and said, ”You could say that.”

In fact, before Su Yuan left Yang Aoshan’s room, Ashley had already sent out a warning.

After thinking briefly, Su Yuan had Ruan Ruan split into two clones, one to replace Yang Aoshan and the other to replace himself.

As for the real Yang Aoshan, she had already entered the Qingming Realm beforehand.

So Su Yuan didn’t rescue the Yang Aoshan who was taken by the shadow as Yue Bi thought, because that was actually just a Ruan Ruan clone.

Seeing that Yang Aoshan was unharmed, Yue Bi let out a long sigh of relief, ”Su Envoy, where is the person who used the shadow power earlier?”

Su Yuan chuckled slightly, ”Naturally, he’s been killed.”

He was killed just like that?

Even though it had been somewhat expected, Yue Bi still felt a chill in her heart.

She had a basic understanding of the strength of that shadow assassin, having fought him herself, but for Su Yuan to chase him and kill him so quickly...

Such a feat would be impossible for herself!

”Su Yuan...” Yue Bi re-evaluated Su Yuan, her expression suddenly changing as if recalling something, ”Were you involved in the ambush of the Qiguang Moon Knight in the You Man Forest north of Huo Luo?”

”Uh...” Su Yuan hadn’t expected Yue Bi to bring this up out of nowhere, and he nodded, ”If you mean the Dark Moon? Then yes.”

”So it was you!” Yue Bi showed surprise in her eyes, ”I heard Brother Huang mention you before.”

”Brother Huang?”

Yue Bi nodded and said, ”Yellow Lion Tiger of the Firehawk Guard, he is my fellow senior disciple.

He said that the success of the ambush and the capture of the Tiger Vein were largely due to a remarkably skilled expert from the Sky Patrol Department.

I suddenly remembered, he mentioned that person’s name seemed to be Su... It really was you!”

”What a coincidence, so you’re Major Huang’s junior sister.” Su Yuan also smiled.

That mission back then was quite perilous, and Yellow Lion Tiger and he could be considered battle comrades who had faced danger together.

Since Yue Bi is his junior sister and due to this connection, future communication and cooperation would be much more convenient.

Moreover, with the strength that Su Yuan has demonstrated, at this moment, Yue Bi no longer felt the previous coldness and disdain towards Su Yuan.

Su Yuan glanced around and said, ”Let’s handle the aftermath first.”

”Alright!”

The two of them quickly tidied up the scene.

From the remnants, it was clear that these people were indeed sent by the Qiguang Holy Hall, and their target was clearly Yang Aoshan.

Moreover, the primary objective was to capture Yang Aoshan rather than simply kill her, after all, talent in the four arts has its uses once brought back to Qiguang.

As for the Simulated Realm Pearl, as a one-time tool, it had depleted all its energy after being used once.

As for the others in the hotel, none were drawn into the simulated realm in the real world.

An unassuming night raid thus quietly occurred and ended just as silently.

In Yang Aoshan’s room.

”Didn’t scare you, did it?” Su Yuan asked.

”Not at all.” Yang Aoshan shook her head with a smile, ”With you... and Ruan Ruan and Major General Yue, I’m not afraid.”

”Pchi pchi!” Ruan Ruan next to her was very happy upon hearing this.

Su Yuan nodded, ”That’s good. We’ve had quite a commotion this late, you should rest now.”

”It’s not that late...” Yang Aoshan turned her head slightly, and in the warm room light her expression seemed to blush slightly, ”You can sit a little longer if you want.”

Su Yuan pondered and said, ”No, I have something to do later.”

”Oh... mm.”

Su Yuan instructed, ”Ruan Ruan, keep an eye on Teacher Yang.”

”Rest assured, Master!” Ruan Ruan responded, then transformed back into a bracelet on Yang Aoshan’s arm.

Su Yuan returned to the adjacent room, pondered briefly, and then entered the Qingming Realm.

In the night, Ashley waited by the table, with Mo Fei and Antonios beside her.

Seeing Su Yuan enter, Ashley asked, ”Boss, is it resolved?”

”Mm.” Su Yuan tossed out the identity tokens of the assassins.

Ashley looked through them one by one, ”Gray, Marth, these two are top experts at the Radiant Moon Level in the Heresy Court.”

Su Yuan asked, ”Is it that ’premonition’ you mentioned before?”

”Probably not.” Ashley shook her head, eyes falling on Gray and Marth’s tokens, ”These two are strong, yes, but with your current strength, they’re not much of a threat.”

Su Yuan nodded, ”Have you had any more of those premonitions since then?”

”No more. Either it was just my imagination... or someone has obscured changes in the future and destiny.”

”Obscured changes in destiny...” Su Yuan contemplated hearing this.

Originally, without a precise prediction, Ashley still informed Su Yuan of the sudden sense of urgency she felt.

After all, for someone using the Power of Destiny, their premonitions are much more accurate than others’.

However, this feeling of Ashley’s disappeared shortly after it emerged, almost like an illusion.

And today, Ashley successfully predicted a possible impending crisis, seemingly indicating everything was normal.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment and said, ”Better to be safe than sorry, let’s remain vigilant.”

Ashley nodded, ”Mm, I’ll do my best to detect danger on my side too.”

...

The night attack by Gray and Marth was just a minor interlude for Su Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

Feiyuan Academy, Mad Dragon Academy, Blazing Sand Academy... Yang Aoshan engaged in exchanges at various academies, while Su Yuan followed closely by her side, happily watching his knowledge in the Array Path grow with each exchange.

Initially, visiting each academy increased his knowledge by about 1%; although it became less as time went on, it now reached 10.4% in Seventh Level Array Mastery, finally getting to double digits!

Especially at Mad Dragon Academy, a top institution where a true Seventh Level Array Dao Master participated, Su Yuan’s knowledge shot up by two points in a day, exhilarating him~

Today, in Rashamon City, a city on the southeastern border of Huo Luo Country.

In the venue for the Array Path exchange, Yang Aoshan was preparing her lecture at the front, while Su Yuan and Yue Bi found a place to sit below.

”Rashamon Academy, the final academy.” Yue Bi, sitting next to Su Yuan, turned his head and asked, ”Envoy Su, are you sure you don’t need me to escort you back to Great Flame?”

Su Yuan nodded, ”No need, I have Space Movement, it’ll be more convenient to take Yang Aoshan back alone.”

”Alright, I’ll report this to the authorities.”

Yue Bi nodded, his usually serious and grave expression now eased slightly.

Since Su Yuan insisted, as long as they’re escorted out of the city gates, Yue Bi’s task would be complete, and any mishaps on their return would not be on him.

”Ah...!”

The aisle was narrow, and a girl passing by accidentally bumped into Yue Bi’s leg, nearly falling.

”Careful!”

Yue Bi quickly steadied her.

”Ah, sorry! Thank... thank you!” The girl hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

Su Yuan looked up; she was a girl with glasses and a single ponytail, thin and somewhat rough-skinned, appearing to be a student at Rashamon Academy from a not-so-wealthy background.

Yue Bi smiled warmly, ”No need to thank me.”

”Little Wan, over here!” two other girls called from not far behind.

”Coming... coming!”

The girl thanked Yue Bi with a bow and then quickly moved past the two and off to the side.

Su Yuan rubbed his chin, his eyes shimmering with Silver Light as he activated the All-Knowing Vision to closely observe Little Wan and her two companions.

Seeming to perceive Su Yuan’s thoughts, Yue Bi whispered, ”Envoy Su suspects they are assassins? This is Rashamon Academy, not a top academy, but the dean is a Three Suns Realm expert.

Not even a Radiant Moon Level assassin, much less a Burning Sun Level one, would dare make a move here at the academy.”

”Major Yue is right, perhaps I’m just being overly cautious...” Su Yuan nodded with a smile, but objectively speaking, Yue Bi was not wrong.

However, because of Ashley’s premonition, Su Yuan preferred to remain cautious.

Today’s exchange, according to the schedule, involved Yang Aoshan giving a lecture first, followed by the elderly Array Dao Master Tao Ming from Rashamon Academy. Then the two would engage in discussions with the faculty and students.

The final exchange was set at Rashamon Academy because there’s an Array Dao Master in residence, and conveniently it’s at the southeastern frontier city, allowing a quick departure afterward.
