Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1211: Chapter 990: Ink-Stained

”Ten Thousand Valleys Return to the Origin!”

A great burst of Spirit Light erupted from Ruan Jinglun’s body, and a vast illusion of the Spiritual Mountain Fairyland instantly appeared behind him. Then, in a moment, it all converged back into his body.

”Boom!”

An immense and majestic Star Power Fluctuation emanated from Ruan Jinglun, his black hair rising without wind, as if an infinite Kunlun resided within his chest!

”Already releasing so soon?” the Fool chuckled.

Then Ruan Jinglun raised a hand and pointed at the Golden Seal. The illusion of mountains briefly flickered on the seal before suddenly disappearing before him.

In the next moment, the Golden Seal reappeared above the Fool’s head, its size now magnified countless times, crashing down on him with no escape!

”Boom!”

A muffled roar ensued, making the earth quake!

With the power of the released True Form of mountains and valleys empowering the Golden Seal, it pinned and crushed its target with enormous force, enough to flatten even Three Suns Peak into a meat paste!

Previously, when the Dragon Vein first appeared, this attack was cleaved by Phoenix’s supreme sword, but this time, it clearly hit the mark!

Just then, a flash of Spirit Light sparkled high in the sky, revealing the Fool unscathed, reappearing in mid-air!

”What!” Yang Ming and the others exclaimed in shock.

Ruan Jinglun also furrowed his brows tightly, speaking with a somber tone:

”Indeed, just like Yang Ming’s Ten Thousand Snake Thunder earlier, this Fool somehow evaded the attack through some means.

And it’s neither displacement nor Substitute Technique...”

Yang Ming asked, ”Then what is it?”

Ruan Jinglun raised his hand to recall the Golden Seal, shook his head after a brief contemplation, and said, ”I still haven’t figured it out.”

”Are you pondering over my strength?”

At that moment, a flash of Holy Light appeared, and the Fool had already darted to the group’s side.

Yang Ming and the other experts were all startled, Blackthorn, Mountain God Stone... Various attacks simultaneously landed on the Fool, tearing him apart in an instant!

However, in the next moment, a flash of Spirit Light appeared behind the group, and the Fool suddenly reappeared, intact.

Yang Ming shouted angrily, ”Courting death!”

Previously, Yang Ming was already indignant as the Fool easily dodged hundreds of Thunder Flash Line Snakes.

Now, seeing the opponent kill Meng Zha Yue and swagger close, how could he stand such arrogance!

”Crackle!”

A surge of Thunder Light engulfed him, transforming Yang Ming into a mass of violet and blue electric Energy Body. Then he opened his right hand, and a tangled Thunder Saber landed in his grip.

”Thunderbolt Charge!”

Assuming a drawing stance, the Thunderbolt Light ignited, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Ming slashed past the Fool.

With Yang Ming’s current speed, the Fool couldn’t evade even at close range, let alone in mid-air. The Thunder Light sliced him into halves.

Yet, in the next moment, a flash of Spirit Light revealed the Fool, again perfectly intact at a short distance.

Yang Ming pivoted on his foot, transforming into lightning to attack once more!

But as the Thunder Saber clove through illusion after illusion of the Fool, the real one always emerged unscathed.

”An illusion? Afterimage?”

The Qilin Imperial contingent, attacking in unison, felt a mix of doubt and suspicion.

”No, that’s not it!”

Ruan Jinglun observed the Fool evading the relentless pursuit of the Thunder Saber, subtly comprehending something.

Right then, the Fool abruptly stopped, drawing the sword at his waist, now poised against Yang Ming’s chest...

Yang Ming’s pupils shook, unable to lower the Thunder Saber aimed at the Fool’s head.

Not being a close-quarters combat specialist, Yang Ming’s many slashes had given the Fool an opening.

In that critical moment, Ruan Jinglun flung the Golden Seal from his hand, and instantaneously it expanded massively, ready to smash down on the Fool and Yang Ming alike.

The Fool’s eyes flickered, his form blurred into a streak of Golden Light, retreating deftly to avoid the Golden Seal.

However, Ruan Jinglun’s eyes gleamed. Just as the massive Golden Seal was about to crush Yang Ming, it abruptly shrank back to palm-sized.

”It really is like this!” Ruan Jinglun’s eyes lit up, grasping the other’s ability, ”It’s Foreknowledge of the Future!”

In front, the Fool looked at Ruan Jinglun, chuckled lightly, and nodded in praise, ”Heh... You realized so quickly? Very sharp.”

Yang Ming then transformed back from Lightning, retreating with a long exhale.

”Old Ruan, what’s going on?” Yang Ming, pale-faced and still slightly shaken, asked.

Among the four chief members of the Hidden Sect, Meng Zha Yue was female, and Wenren Feng was quite reclusive.

So, Yang Ming and Ruan Jinglun had quite a good relationship.

Now, Ruan Jinglun looked gravely at the Fool ahead: ”If my guess is correct, he should have the ability to foresee imminent attacks and evade them in advance, thus genuinely avoiding them.”

”Foreknowledge of future attacks?”

Just hearing that ability made Yang Ming and others furrow their brows.

It’s evidently a challenging ability to deal with.

”However, it’s still easier to handle than Tisa’s Wheel of Destiny.” Yang Ming mused.

The battle in the Mediterranean before, against the perfect and invincible Tisa, still left Yang Ming with lingering fear.

Even if the Fool could foresee the future to avoid attacks, how could it compare to Tisa’s invincibility plus reflective damage strength?

Ruan Jinglun was incredibly serious: ”You probably overlooked... he hasn’t released his True Form yet!”

”Hmm?” Yang Ming, as well as the others, heard this and their pupils contracted sharply.

Because the opponent was too strong, it was assumed that the opponent was already going all out.

At this moment, looking at the Fool ahead with a calm expression, a sudden realization struck— as a member and even the leader of the Truth Secret Society... the opponent had not yet released his True Form!

”It seems you already understand the gap?”

While everyone was shocked, the Fool laughed softly and drew the sword from his waist, suddenly appearing before everyone...

...

Meanwhile, before a certain Starlight Dragon Vein.

Wenren Feng’s white plum blossoms swirled around his body, wielding the Life Changing Mysterious Branch, clashing once again with Tisa, who had the Wheel of Fortune spinning behind her.

”Clang, clang, clang... boom!”

A loud noise sounded, and terrifying Spirit Light exploded outward in all directions!

Wenren Feng struck Tisa, yet as the Wheel of Fortune spun, a sudden Blood Light exploded in front of Wenren Feng.

Wenren Feng remained calm, with plum blossoms rotating in his eyes, the Life Changing Mysterious Branch glowing brightly in his hand.

The next moment, the injury appeared identically on Tisa!

At this time, the Wheel of Fortune behind Tisa spun again, and the impending injury was suddenly nullified.

”One attack is enough to consume double my Power of Luck...” Tisa looked at Wenren Feng ahead with slightly condensed eyes, ”This ability to reverse outcomes is truly remarkable.”

Previously, Wenren Feng used the branch as a blade to strike Tisa, who absorbed the damage and transferred it to Wenren Feng.

While Wenren Feng could actually reverse causality and swap states, causing Tisa to be injured again and then utilize the Power of Luck to eliminate this sword injury!

Until this moment, after a roundabout, the power of this sword finally dissipated completely.

Thus, when Wenren Feng’s branch hit Tisa, although Tisa wasn’t injured, it forced Tisa to expend double the Power of Luck.

However, Wenren Feng’s own Star Power consumption was also significant, and after a round of battle, he had already acquired some injuries...

Both Tisa and Wenren Feng could cause ”reflective damage” to their opponents.

But one focuses on ”the present,” absorbing and reflecting.

The other rewrites ”the past,” reversing causality.

Because of this, Wenren Feng said at the beginning of their encounter that their powers were ”fundamentally different.”

”However, I have the Holy Grail to restore Luck, but you not only have a significant consumption but more critically... cannot continuously deploy!”

As Tisa finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared behind Wenren Feng; it was the [Empress] Carina!

At this moment, Carina was covered in purple runes, evidently having been released.

Between her hands, dark purple Spirit Light flickered, and Carina pressed a palm against Wenren Feng.

”Eight Gates Seal!”

Carina’s eyes went cold, and a large amount of runes rushed out of Wenren Feng’s back, gradually forming a bizarre seal similar to a hexagram on his body.

The [Empress] Carina controls the Sealing Power, from one to nine, the higher the number, the higher the level of the Sealing Skill.

The ”seven, eight, nine” seal requires True Form Release to be able to use.

And at this moment, the seal used on Tisa was specifically a super strong sealing skill against a single target— the Eight Gates Seal!

Opening, Rest, Life, Injury, Block, Scene, Death, Fright... the Eight Gates Seal descended, Wenren Feng’s Spirit Light dimmed, the plum blossoms outside him scattered, even the Power of Cause and Effect quieted down.

For a moment, Wenren Feng’s eyes revealed some surprise.

And then Tisa raised the Longsword, the condensed Holy Light on the blade resembling metal.

”Holy Sword, Iron Cutting!”

Tisa’s sword fell, and suddenly blood surged, Wenren Feng was struck and flew off the spot, severed in two!

The Life Changing Mysterious Branch could ensure Wenren Feng temporarily stayed undead when hit by a fatal attack and successfully reverse causality to reflect the attack.

But because of Carina’s sealing, without his own causality ability to support, he naturally couldn’t counterattack!

Within a few breaths, Wenren Feng’s aura completely dissipated.

”This Qilin Imperial second seat is quite troublesome, almost like Vermilion Bird Guardian Su Yuan.” Tisa sheathed her Longsword, looking up at Carina, ”Fortunately, you’re here; otherwise, it would have taken quite some effort...”

To Tisa, Wenren Feng’s single strike exhausting double Luck, able to transfer attacks rebounded onto him, was truly troublesome...

Carina nodded slightly, about to say more.

But at that moment, a profound fluctuation spread from Wenren Feng’s Life Changing Mysterious Branch!

The plum blossoms on the Life Changing Mysterious Branch turned entirely black like ink soaking through and flew up completely.

Within two breaths, these black plum blossoms transformed back into Wenren Feng wearing a black robe!

And the body of Wenren Feng on the ground, sliced in halves, exploded into a large amount of white plum blossoms.

”With the Life Changing Mysterious Branch, I can finally entirely separate black and white...”

Wenren Feng grasped the ink-dyed Life Changing Mysterious Branch, looked up at Tisa and the others, and yet a cold smile curled up on his lips.
