Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 687: Chapter 544: Overcoming the Twin Swords

After subduing the Returning Ruins Divine Wind, a connection had already been established between the Flame Sky Fire Control Technique and the Biluo Divine Wind Technique.

This connection allowed their power cores to link together.

Because of this, Su Yuan soon comprehended and condensed the Ruins Divine Feather under the Void Evil Manifesting Saints!

And it was for this reason that Su Yuan had a deeper understanding of the value of the three techniques, including the Flame Sky Fire Control Technique.

A simple combination could once again elevate these three techniques’ upper limits. Indeed, they were techniques that could potentially reach mythological levels after fusion!

At this moment, the Ruins Divine Feather unfolded. The speed of the Void Evil Manifesting Saints dramatically increased. The attack speed was almost on par with Sikong Liu, who had also activated his Extreme Sword Technique. The movement speed was even faster than Sikong Liu.

Strength, speed, and defense were all top-notch, and it could self-repair.

The originally strong Void Evil Manifesting Saints had now become an almost invincible trump card!

In an instant, the battle reignited.

Black Flame splattered, and sword light shot out!

Sikong Liu took the offensive, and Zhong Xiu controlled thirty-six sword lights to assist.

The sounds of blade clashes and sword lights cutting through the Black Flame continuously echoed in the field.

However, Zhong Xiu’s attacks couldn’t penetrate the Void Evil Manifesting Saints. Sikong Liu also found it difficult to hit the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, who had activated the Ruins Divine Feather.

In the blink of an eye, twenty to thirty rounds had passed, and the Void Evil Manifesting Saints had already gained the upper hand, pressing Sikong Liu into dire straits.

Su Yuan appeared calm. Although using the Ruins Divine Feather consumed a lot of Star Power, at this rate, he could definitely kill Sikong Liu and Zhong Xiu before his own Star Power was mostly depleted!

Moreover, Su Yuan himself had Ruan Ruan to replenish his Star Power, so he wasn’t worried about endurance.

“This Outer Path is too strong…” Tong Ming realized this and showed a serious expression.

After a slight hesitation, Tong Ming’s eyes sharpened, and he commanded, “Go all out!”

Since it was infeasible, he had to decisively switch strategies. To deal with an almost invincible Outer Path at the same level, there were two main approaches.

First, wear it down. Although the Outer Path had high attributes in all aspects, the consumption of Star Power was usually great, especially for such a large Outer Path.

Second, use a stronger attack to break the core of the Outer Path and destroy it.

For the Void Evil Manifesting Saints with the Ruins Divine Feather, it was evidently not easy to wear it down. Hence, Tong Ming decisively chose the second approach!

Under Tong Ming’s command, Zhong Xiu immediately formed a sword technique with his hand. The thirty-six sword lights surrounding the Void Evil Manifesting Saints abruptly retracted to the sky and flickered violently.

They split into two, then into four. In an instant, they transformed into one hundred and twenty-eight sword lights!

Moreover, these one hundred and twenty-eight sword lights were not separate entities. When gathered, they were connected by sword qi.

The tide of sword light formed by over a hundred sword lights surged towards the Demon Soul, causing even the void to tremble at its passing!

“A truly powerful move.”

Su Yuan secretly praised, his gilded wings behind him glowed brightly as he swiftly soared into the sky!

However, no matter how fast he moved, could he be faster than the sword light?

With a gesture from Zhong Xiu, the speed of the tide of sword qi doubled, catching up to the Void Evil Manifesting Saints in moments.

Su Yuan smirked, “Just in time!”

Golden wind rose, and ripples flowed on the Ruins Divine Feather’s wings behind the Void Evil Manifesting Saints as if golden waves were stirred by a gentle breeze. The wings suddenly closed forward, shielding the entire body.

In the next moment, the numerous sword lights fell upon the Ruins Divine Feather.

To everyone’s surprise, the expected fierce collision did not occur.

Instead, the one hundred and twenty-eight sword lights strangely slowed down as they approached the golden ripples, as if falling into water.

After a collective shudder, the sword lights shattered one after another, leaving only the last Star Power-exhausted True Sword.

This was the trait of the Ruins Divine Feather as an Epic Star Artifact, the All Spirits Return to Ruins!

A Star Card Master’s released Star Power could be maintained for a while after leaving the body. The more condensed the Star Power, the longer it could exist outside the body.

However, this made no significant difference before the Ruins Divine Feather.

The Ruins Divine Feather could age these Star Powers or other energies instantly, causing them to dissipate!

With the exhaustion of Star Power, Zhong Xiu’s Dividing Light into Swords naturally disbanded.

In fact, this was a power that could be utilized once the Returning Ruins Divine Wind matured.

However, Su Yuan had just refined it. The maturity of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind was only comparable to the Undead Evil Fire, relying on Star Artifacts or Divine Fire Skills to use these perverse abilities.

At this moment, Zhong Xiu’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected his Ten Thousand Sword Technique to be so easily broken!

However, Sikong Liu’s hands weren’t idle. With a thought, a white gas flowed around his body like a gang wind. He had activated the Hard Sword Technique, directly soaring toward Su Yuan!

At this moment, silver Rune Chains suddenly rose beneath Sikong Liu.

Using Teleportation, Star Shifting, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints directly swapped places with Sikong Liu.

Sikong Liu was now in the high sky, while Su Yuan, controlling the Void Evil Manifesting Saints, appeared closest to Zhong Xiu!

“Accelerate!”

With a slight flap of the Ruins Divine Feather, the Void Evil Manifesting Saints shot forward, swinging the Black Sky Light for a slash at Zhong Xiu.

Zhong Xiu’s sword and Sikong Liu were both in the high sky, unable to return in time.

Without a longsword, the strength of a sword cultivator naturally diminished.

Zhong Xiu could only hastily unleash Star Power, using defense skills to block, but was directly smashed away by the Void Evil Manifesting Saints.

Ignoring his injuries, Zhong Xiu raised his hand to recall his longsword from the high sky.

But Su Yuan didn’t give him the chance. Black Flame surged on the Demon Saber, surrounded by golden wind, and he assumed a blade-drawing stance.

“Wind Fire Flash!”

Under time acceleration, Su Yuan burst from the Void Evil Manifesting Saints’ chest, slashing Zhong Xiu like lightning.

Blood spattered, and Zhong Xiu’s head flew off before he could retrieve a backup longsword. He was already decapitated by a single strike!

At this moment, before Su Yuan could react further, terrifying sword light descended like a galaxy, as Sikong Liu from the high sky charged with his sword!

Secret Sword, Galaxy Fall!

Su Yuan looked up with a calm expression.

As the sword light was about to fall, a long saber with surging black flames slashed diagonally from the side, blocking Sikong Liu’s full-powered strike. The Void Evil Manifesting Saints had arrived, wielding the blade above Su Yuan’s head!

With Hard Sword Technique and Extreme Sword Technique’s power and speed enhancement, plus this strike from Galaxy Fall, its power even surpassed the strike from the pseudo sixth-level Little Celestial Star Battle Formation at the relic of Fan Guang Sect!

Black Sky Light, being an energy-condensed Star Device, lacked the hardness of a physical Star Device. After a brief stalemate, it was slashed apart by the terrifying sword light of Sikong Liu, which descended like a galaxy!

But by this time, most of its energy had been consumed.

Su Yuan had long been prepared. During this moment, seven Heavenly Seals had swiftly condensed on the Demon Saber… enough!

“Seven Layers of Heaven!”

With a swipe, Su Yuan’s saber unleashed an unimaginable sword pressure that instantly shattered and pressed onto Sikong Liu.

Even though Hard Sword Technique significantly enhanced his defense, Sikong Liu couldn’t withstand such a terrifying strike with his flesh. He was instantly crushed, bursting into a massive blood mist!

Holding on for a moment, Sikong Liu, covered in blood and flesh, was sent flying, his fate unknown!

Succeeding in his strike, Su Yuan was about to make another move when he suddenly noticed a dimness overhead. The Ksitigarbha behind Tong Ming had flown over unknowingly, and its gaping maw closed in for a bite!

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed. Facing an unknown, eerie creature, he immediately used the Returning Ruins Divine Wind to accelerate and withdrew rapidly.

However, the Ksitigarbha ignored Su Yuan. It continuously snapped its jaws, swallowing the blood-soaked Sikong Liu and the decapitated Zhong Xiu.

“Oh?”

Su Yuan frowned, quickly realizing the Ksitigarbha’s target was not himself but the two Blood Puppets.

As the Ksitigarbha flew back, Su Yuan waved his hand, slashing with his blade.

Yet, the Ksitigarbha seemed illusory, and its black body merely rippled slightly.

“Not an entity,” Su Yuan arched an eyebrow.

“Wonderful! Wonderful!”

The Ksitigarbha flew back, and Tong Ming looked at Su Yuan, applauding in admiration.

“Friend Qin’s techniques have truly opened my eyes! I never expected that besides Divine Wind and Divine Fire, you also mastered so many mysterious Space-related skills!”

Su Yuan’s thoughts stirred, and with a gesture, he temporarily recalled the Void Evil Manifesting Saints.

Glancing at the Ksitigarbha, Su Yuan said expressionlessly, “The Blood Puppets created by you are much more formidable than the Blood Puppet Techniques of the Blood Killing Sect disciples in the rumors.”

The main schools and skills of the Ten Sects had been meticulously reviewed by Su Yuan in the Demon Sky Palace.

Among them was the Blood Puppet Technique of the Blood Evil Sect. Its strength lay in the combination of blood energy and evil aura.

The evil aura greatly enhanced the hardness of the blood puppets, making them stronger and more defensible than their originals.

Moreover, these Blood Puppets could use some of the skills from their lifetime.

However, since they were not real people, the Blood Puppets’ flexibility and combat consciousness were much inferior to the originals.

But Tong Ming’s Blood Puppets had combat consciousness very close to real people, much stronger than ordinary Blood Puppets!

Tong Ming sneered, “Very perceptive… indeed, my Blood Puppets are different because the body is merely a vessel. I can also stuff their souls back in!”

“So it was indeed the Power of Soul related to the soul…”

Su Yuan’s eyes moved slightly, his gaze once again falling upon the bulky Ksitigarbha behind Tong Ming.

Initially, there was nothing peculiar. However, when the Ksitigarbha opened its mouth to swallow him, Su Yuan vaguely sensed a strong soul energy within.

With this understanding, Su Yuan had some speculation and couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly.

“So your purpose in reclaiming those two Blood Puppets is…”

“It seems you already guessed it.” Tong Ming laughed, curling his lips. “Indeed, it’s to recycle, repair, and reuse!”

As soon as he spoke, the Ksitigarbha opened its maw again.

Two figures surrounded by blood energy and exuding astonishing aura appeared from its mouth.

It was Zhong Xiu and Sikong Liu!

Their gazes were sharp, their aura intimidating, and they were entirely unharmed!
