Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1028: Chapter 818: Artifact Master

”Mei Erche!”

The short-haired youth in the distance finally came back to his senses, exclaiming in shock, never expecting that Su Yuan would decisively and swiftly slay the cold and stern woman in such a brief moment.

Even the Golden Bow couldn’t block the opponent’s strike; the short-haired youth could hardly imagine how sharp that sword move was!

”An...”

Just as the short-haired youth was pondering, Su Yuan had already teleported in front of him, wielding his sword to attack.

”Not good!”

The short-haired youth’s hand was entwined with shadows, transforming into a long blade slashing towards Su Yuan.

But the disparity in strength between the two was unimaginable!

Previously, Fidis, who was at the level of the Three Suns Realm, could only confront Su Yuan head-on after releasing his True Form with jagged wings.

Yet the short-haired youth was only at the Chongyang level and not in terms of strength; even with True Form Release, how could he endure Su Yuan’s blows?

Sword light flickered, and within a few strikes, the short-haired youth staggered back repeatedly, utterly defeated.

Realizing he couldn’t face Su Yuan directly, shadows swirled around the short-haired youth, allowing him to retreat into the darkness once more.

Being in the Earth Cave, surrounded by darkness, it was undoubtedly the best fighting environment for the short-haired youth, who was a Shadow Element Star Card Master.

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and even though he expanded his perception with full force, he still found it hard to pinpoint the opponent.

Although Su Yuan had never seen Divine and Ghost Invisibility, in the presence of shadows, the opponent completely merged into the darkness, leaving no trace, and this stealth capability was likely comparable to Divine and Ghost Invisibility.

However...

”One Heart Dustless!”

Silver light swept through Su Yuan’s eyes, filling his entire eye sockets.

In an instant, all surrounding information flooded into his mind.

Although not entirely clear, it was no longer the oblivion felt earlier.

At this moment, Su Yuan shifted his gaze slightly, casting a cold eye at the shadow under his feet.

In the next moment, a flash of dark light erupted, and the short-haired youth suddenly bolted out from Su Yuan’s shadow!

In the following moment, sword light sliced through, blood splattered!

The short-haired youth stared in astonishment at the long sword mark suddenly carved across his chest, then at the returning slash from the young man’s eyes, which gleamed with a faint silver hue...

If not for his quick reaction, he would’ve almost been sliced in half!

”How is it possible? Even the Three Sun Knights couldn’t detect me hiding in the shadows!”

The short-haired youth’s face turned pale, disregarding the constant flow of blood from his chest, as shadows surged vigorously, fleeing backward!

”Running?”

Su Yuan’s figure blurred as he chased with his sword in hand.

Severely injured and with the cold and stern woman slain, the short-haired youth was utterly terrified.

He desperately jumped through shadows, releasing a large web of shadows in an attempt to hinder Su Yuan.

But Su Yuan accelerated with Divine Wind, his Void Sword Qi slicing through the shadows, almost unhindered.

Not long after, during a series of shadow maneuvers, the short-haired youth was finally hit in the back by the relentlessly advancing Void Sword Qi, crashing with a loud boom through a large stone wall!

”Ugh!”

The short-haired youth spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground, turning his head to see Su Yuan flying in pursuit, his heart filled with indescribable dread.

What kind of monster was this?

The terror of strength, speed, and Star Power was palpable, and yet, he could even detect the True Form Released shadow-hidden self!

Before the short-haired youth could react further, a flash of silver light appeared in front of him, Su Yuan had already teleported there.

”Damn it!” The short-haired youth turned pale, ”I’m going to fight to the end with you!”

His entire body twisted and surged with shadows; in despair, a frenzy emerged in his eyes as a massive amount of shadow power rotated rapidly, forming an abyss-like gathering around him, emitting a terrifying aura.

Yet at this moment, Su Yuan’s eyes shifted, and the silver light flashed as he teleported away.

The short-haired youth was stunned, then a frantic smile appeared on his face, ”Scared? You were just like...”

”Boom!!”

Suddenly, an enormous red fruit crashed down from above with a tremendous earth-shaking roar!

Su Yuan’s pupils contracted, lifting his gaze forward.

”Heh, it’s quite lively here~”

With a rather playful tone, a tall and slender male walked out from afar.

The tall and slender man gestured, and the enormous red fruit, as large as a building, spun rapidly and shrank back to his palm.

In the massive pit left behind, the short-haired youth had predictably turned into a pile of bloodied flesh, undeniably dead!

”It’s a pity, I almost had a double hit with one shot...” The tall and slender man said relaxedly, his gaze landing on Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was also assessing the tall and slender man, especially the palm-sized red fruit he held.

”This Star Device is truly terrifying!”

If not for the quick reaction of One Heart Dustless, he might have been struck as well.

And with the power of this red fruit...

Su Yuan scanned the situation in the field, calculating rapidly he soon reached a conclusion.

If his Void Evil Entanglement self were hit by the red fruit, he’d be gravely injured, and using Void Evil Manifesting Saints might barely resist it.

And this was just the beginning; the tall and slender man before him, although not releasing his aura recklessly like other Star Beasts, under powerful perception, Su Yuan could discern that this was a Transformed Star Beast at the Three Suns Realm!

Suddenly, Su Yuan thought of something.

”The Ten Weapon Masters?”

”Hahaha...” The tall and thin man suddenly laughed, then said, ”Didn’t expect you actually know about the Ten Weapon Masters?”

”Heard a bit here and there, are you one of them?”

The tall and thin man’s eyes showed a trace of eagerness, ”The Ten Weapon Masters... I’ll be one soon.”

Su Yuan nodded and said, ”So you’re not one yet.”

The tall and thin man’s expression stiffened slightly, then he sneered, ”I was selected by the Imperial Court as an Artifact Master. If a Ten Weapon Master falls, I will have a chance to replace them.”

”A substitute Artifact Master, is that so...” Su Yuan’s gaze fell on the red fruit in the tall man’s right hand, and his eyes flickered as if he thought of something, ”In that case, I can’t let you go...”

The tall and thin man raised an eyebrow, ”What did you say?”

And with a quick turn, Su Yuan already charged forward with his sword to kill!

”Didn’t expect you would dare to deliver yourself to me?”

A flash of spirit light in the tall man’s left hand, the red fruit grew larger again and flew towards Su Yuan!

Although the red fruit was enormous, there seemed to be some kind of rule on it, making its speed extraordinarily fast!

”Bang bang bang...!”

The red fruit repeatedly rose and fell, creating one giant pit after another on the ground.

But for Su Yuan, who had activated ’One Heart Dustless,’ such an offensive was naturally easy to dodge.

After closing the distance quickly again, a silver flash on Su Yuan’s body instantly teleported him in front of the tall man, slashing out with his sword!

Seeing a streak of green light slicing through, with a ”clang,” Su Yuan unexpectedly staggered back a few steps.

Su Yuan’s expression slightly tensed, looking ahead as the tall man’s right arm had transformed into a form like a sickle.

”Oh?” A slight surprise flashed across the tall man’s face, ”A Chongyang Realm, yet your strength isn’t much different from mine...”

Su Yuan readied his longsword and clashed with the opponent again.

Black and green colors clashed swiftly, producing a rain-like clanging sound.

Unrivaled sharpness of the Sword Qi shot out along with the green light, rocks shattered, and plants were shredded, leaving the scene in utter disarray in moments.

After a round of clashes, Su Yuan’s eyes shifted slightly, and he immediately withdrew.

The next moment, with a ”boom,” the red fruit fell from above again, almost hitting Su Yuan!

”Such keen perception! And to be able to observe situations in other directions, it must be some kind of Pupil Skill.” The tall thin man smiled.

Looking at the tall man ahead, Su Yuan’s demeanor became more solemn.

The Fidis of the Qiguang back then was also in the Three Suns Realm, but not as strong as this Transformed Demon Beast in front of him.

And this Star Device, although simple and brutal, is astonishingly powerful; it must be a Pseudo Saint-level treasure.

This is the first time Su Yuan has seen a real ”Pseudo Saint Artifact,” not one conjured by Void Evil Manifesting Saints!

Although the other isn’t a ”Ten Weapon Master,” being able to possess a precious Fifth Level Spiritualized Divine Tree’s Pseudo Saint Artifact shows they are not weak either.

After just a brief exchange, Su Yuan had already sensed the opponent’s difficulty.

The tall and thin frame concealed an invertedly strong power!

While contemplating, the tall and thin man raised his hand to put away the red fruit.

”Come on, let me see how much capability you have in the Chongyang Realm!”

As soon as the voice fell, the tall and thin man’s lips curled up and he charged forward...

On the other side.

He Zheng’s face was slightly pale, breathing heavily.

The Xuanwu Spirit formed by water ink protected him from the toxic gas continuously eroding like a plague.

Above, the Vermilion Bird Spirit released a large area of black flames, scorching the Yin Yi Elder transformed into a Plague King. The Vermilion Bird’s flames could indeed counter the toxic gas.

Further ahead, the dragon and tiger spirits were engaged in intense melee with the cold, stone man-like middle-aged fighter!

This technique, named Four Symbols Transformation Technique, is He Zheng’s most adept Legendary Skill, honed to the level of Furnace Fire.

Combined with his Ink Path, the Four Symbols Spirit not only became more agile but also gained some self-repair ability.

However, at this moment, He Zheng glanced at the large patches of yellow-green mottled color on his left arm, looking grim.

At the start, he was ambushed by the enemy and splashed with poison, constantly needing to divert some Star Power to suppress the toxin.

As the Yin Yi Elder deployed True Form Release, not only did he unleash a domain of toxic gas centered on himself.

The toxin on He Zheng’s left arm seemed catalyzed, growing more terrifying and almost incapacitating.

The other True Form Released indifferent middle-aged fighter had extremely high strength and defense, but more astonishingly, their Petrified Energy Body could immune to energy attacks and all negative states!

As a result, the indifferent middle-aged fighter could fight without restraint in the toxic gas domain.

Because of this, He Zheng’s typically skilled magic cast on the indifferent middle-aged was almost ineffective!

He Zheng looked solemn, knowing at this rate, they might indeed fall into the hands of these two in the Chongyang Realm today.

Ten kilometers away, Lou Yuntian and three other envoys, using the Cloud Mirror Technique, observed from afar.

”If this continues, the situation will become dire for He Imperial Envoy!” The female Radiant Moon envoy beside anxiously said.

Lou Yuntian took a deep breath, ”Panicking won’t help; I’ve already sent out distress signals according to the specific protocols.”

Lou Yuntian, anxious as well, understood there’s no use in panicking.

If it were the Early Sun Realm, perhaps a few could give it a try.

But facing battles in the Chongyang or Three Suns Realm, they’d definitely be digging their own graves by jumping in!

In this case, being able to monitor here is already beneficial, luckily Qiguang’s two seem not very proficient in counter-reconnaissance.

Now, all they can do is observe the scene while signaling for reinforcements, waiting for other envoys to come to aid.
