This is a world where Soul Card Masters manipulate Soul Cards to battle. Originally, everyone honestly combined decks and performed advanced summons based on card abilities, until Yu Cang awakened ...
Chapter 158: High position passed down from generation to generation, Cyber Sword Immortal!
This outpost outside the border was now in ruins. Countless wild beasts poured out from the space channel and ran madly towards a farther place.
They may have never seen a world full of light in their entire lives. Now that they see it here, how can they remain calm?
Three legendary beasts roared and rampaged nearby, causing the buildings within the outpost to collapse instantly if even slightly touched. The ground here was much softer than that within the Dire's borders, and the slightest movement of their massive forms could whip up a massive sandstorm.
The destructive power of the legendary wild beast is quite terrifying. Even the one that has been suppressed by Wan Quan to the point where only its head is left is still madly venting lasers in all directions, and new flesh is still being continuously generated under its neck. If Wan Quan is not careful, the wild beast may regain its freedom.
With these three heirlooms around, the army's defense line couldn't be stabilized at all. If they moved even slightly, they could create a gap in the encirclement and cause countless casualties.
Fortunately, the warriors of the ancient capital were incredibly reliable. Needless to say, the other warriors of the Second Company also displayed their prowess at this moment. With their full firepower, the ordinary desolate beasts couldn't even get a single step beyond their reach. They even occasionally provided firepower support to the other company commanders who were struggling with the legendary desolate beasts.
"What is this?" The Shendu Captain looked at the Soul Card that was suddenly handed to him. "Is this a legendary Soul Card sent by Grandmaster Yun? But I've never used this one... Never mind!"
He gritted his teeth and thought, forget it, the only thing to do now is to use this soul card as soon as possible.
By the way, the warrior who just gave me the soul card seemed very powerful, why didn’t he take action... Never mind, just follow orders.
With a raise of his hand, he summoned an epic dragon summoned beast.
A level six soul card master needs to go through a higher level summoning process before he can summon a legendary soul card. Some soul cards require an extremely long preparation time.
Fortunately, with Captain Wan and the soldiers from the ancient capital there, he could still do it by temporarily retreating and operating for a while.
Somewhere on a tower.
Jiangshan and a few others stood in front of the balcony, looking far away towards the battlefield.
"With just one epic soul card, I can stably suppress a legendary soul... Although the energy consumption is a bit higher, it's still very good." Jiang Shan nodded.
The object he was talking about was naturally Wanquan, the ancient capital.
"However, the attack power is still too low to break through the giant crystalline skull of the dim light... The sniper rifle used in the targeted assault might be able to do it, but the wound is too small to cause effective damage." Qiu Zhong also analyzed from the side.
Just then Miao Yun let out a light exclamation.
"Hey, look...did Yu Cang give Wan Quan a soul card?"
"Hiss, it really is." Jiang Shan leaned forward, "...No way, could it be that Yu Cang really has a legendary mechanical soul card in his hand?"
Qiu Chong also raised his eyebrows. He turned to look at Lei Wanqing, but found that he had a mysterious smile on his face and seemed very confident.
"Lao Lei, won't you explain?"
"What's there to explain? Just wait and see." Lei Wanqing smiled lightly.
He discovered earlier than Miao Yun that Yu Cang had taken out a new soul card.
After all, he had been paying attention to Yu Cang's movements. Although Yu Cang had not mentioned to him any legendary knowledge of the Department of Mechanical Engineering...but past experience told him that this kid Yu Cang must have something he hadn't revealed!
Now that he saw it, he naturally felt relieved.
Although he didn't know what the soul card was, he naturally couldn't show weakness in front of these old guys. He had to scare them first.
"Tsk, you're just pretending." Jiang Shan curled his lips. "Even if the Mechanical Department has a Legendary Master, so what? At most, it can kill those giant ghost lights. Can Wan Quan, a level 6 Soul Card Master, really fight against a high-level Legendary Master?"
"Hmph." Lei Wanqing felt a little guilty. Logically speaking, he also felt that this was a bit difficult, but expecting him to be soft-spoken in front of these old guys? Impossible. "That's not necessarily true... Don't get scared later."
"So confident?" Qiu Zhong looked at Lei Wanqing with a smile, "Are you really not just being stubborn?"
"Of course not."
"But even if there were a mechanical heritage, I can't imagine how Wanquan would perform." Miao Yun frowned slightly. "Right now, Wanquan is just fully operating an epic soul card, and it takes a few seconds to replace a batch of wild crystals. If there really is a heritage, where do you get the energy from?"
The reason why the Mechanical Clan can shine this time is precisely because it has solved the problem of high energy consumption. However, the problem is that as the quality of the Mechanical Clan's soul cards improves, its soul energy consumption will only increase exponentially. A little calculation will show that after reaching the legendary level, it is absolutely impossible to support the consumption by relying solely on epic-level wild crystals.
And if they use the legendary wild crystal... not to mention that it is too luxurious, they also did not sense the legendary energy fluctuations on Wan's body.
Lei Wanqing obviously also realized this problem, but now that he had said it, he felt a little bit stuck, so he could only keep his face unchanged and insisted:
"...Just watch."
Xiao Cang, Xiao Cang, you must give your all!
Whether I can save my old face today depends on your soul card!
Lei Wanqing looked towards the battlefield, and in the depths of his eyes, which no one noticed, there was a hint of anticipation.
…
On the battlefield.
collapse!
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the central space channel, and everyone present felt nervous.
By this time, most companies had suffered more than half of their troops killed or wounded, and some unlucky ones had even been completely wiped out.
The only company still standing on the field, without even suffering any casualties, was Gu Du.
Even the boundary of Youdu's monument was broken several times because it was unlucky enough to be involved in a legendary battlefield, causing a lot of damage.
In fact, at this time, each company was basically fighting on its own. After all, the company commander had suddenly disappeared, and there was no one to issue orders, so they had to fight on their own. Otherwise, if the companies had coordinated with each other, the casualties would not have been so exaggerated.
At this moment, a loud noise was heard in the space channel, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Phew! !
A sharp, long cry suddenly sounded from the passage, and visible sound waves exploded on the battlefield. In an instant, dense cracks appeared on everyone's duel shields, from near to far, it was a spectacular sight.
Some who were close even had their duel shields exploded on the spot and were eliminated.
Buzz...
On the ancient capital's side, the electronic buffer barrier also exploded with layers of arcs the moment it came into contact with the sound wave, and the wild crystal in the warrior's chest faded visibly with the naked eye!
"What is that?" Fang Pei's face changed.
He looked towards the passage, and at this moment, a layer of darker night suddenly erupted from it, rapidly spreading across the battlefield in a spherical shape. The light of the setting sun in the distance had become blurred, as if the light from outside could hardly shine in.
Then, a huge black shadow rushed into the sky from the space channel, and circles of sonic booms echoed on the battlefield. When it subsided, Fang Pei looked up and his face had become very ugly.
This is a huge bird.
The feathers on the bird's body are jet black, but its claws and beak emit a faint light, and it seems that they are made of faint light crystals.
The giant bird spread its wings and hovered high in the sky. Just by visual inspection, its wingspan was at least a hundred meters.
After it appeared, it did not make any attacking moves. Its scarlet eyes glanced around, and no one knew what it was thinking.
His heartbeat quietly quickened. Wanquan was flying in the air. Just looking at the giant bird made the hairs on his body stand up, as if he had seen something extremely dangerous.
Legend... No, this is definitely not an ordinary legend. The power of an ordinary legend cannot affect me... This is a high-level legend!
Fang Pei's heart sank.
He was originally wondering why no senior military officials had come out to control the space channel for such a long time. He wondered if the military had done it on purpose, and he also wanted to test their on-the-spot reaction.
But now that high-level legends have come out...it's definitely not the case! Otherwise, who can withstand it!
In that case, it means that the top military brass are now entangled in something more dangerous... Damn, I can only rely on them.
Wan Quan lowered his head and looked at the soul card that had just been handed to him.
Forbidden Engine… He had just read the three effects of this soul card, and to be honest, he didn’t understand it.
The effect is a bit long-lasting, but the second one that can draw on future soul energy is indeed very powerful.
However, if I only use this card, I won't be able to fight against high-ranking Legendaries...
In the soul card.
The weeping girl sighed slightly in consciousness.
Good ink, can you be faster?
Fang Pei only saw the first three effects of the Forbidden Engine because the Weeping Girl temporarily hid the fourth effect [Consciousness Life].
The Weeping Girl can be said to be the card itself, and it is still possible to hide several effects.
The main reason for this is that she is now the master's soul card, and is one of the top-ranked handed-down soul cards! She will definitely be reused in the future and may even become the master's most trusted trump card!
As a trump card, she must of course consciously help her master hide herself... Anyway, in her opinion, the effects of the first three are completely sufficient in the current situation.
…
"Commanders!" The captain of the Divine Capital stepped forward and shouted, "I have a legendary card I can use... but it will take some time. Could you please help me delay it for a while? If I can summon it, there may be a chance of success!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces froze.
Wan Quan also nodded seriously: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely help you hold it off!"
"I'm counting on you." Captain Shendu nodded solemnly.
Captain Gudu’s promise is so reassuring.
Looking at Wanquan, who was wearing a personal reactive armor and flashing with electric light all over his body, Captain Shendu felt that as long as he made a promise, he would definitely be able to gain the corresponding time!
After all, his performance just now was too strong. When others needed tacit cooperation to barely limit the movement of a legendary beast within a certain range, Wanquan could suppress a legendary beast alone!
With such combat effectiveness, who wouldn’t feel at ease?
However, you probably won't be able to handle a high-ranking legendary... But don't worry, I can't let you be the only DPS in a battle. Wait until I summon the legendary, and leave the battlefield to me!
I will definitely not let down the time you bought for me!
Thinking of this, Captain Shendu no longer hesitated, turned around and went to find a hidden corner.
Wan Quan also turned around and slowly took out the forbidden engine.
I'll hold off for a while, and wait for the captain of Shendu to summon the legendary... With the two of us working together, we should have a chance of winning!
Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Second Company, tactical retreat, immediately dismantle the useless soul cards into mechanical parts!"
The Forbidden Engine can reduce the soul energy consumption during startup by consuming mechanical parts on the battlefield. This is the key to its ability to be summoned!
When the order was given, the soldiers of the Second Company took action immediately without any hesitation. While slowly evacuating the main battlefield, they dismantled all the soul cards on their bodies that could be dismantled. For a moment, countless shadows of parts flew in the air and were captured by the armed ordnance vehicles.
Wan Quan took a deep breath, raised his hand, and pulled out a summoned beast.
Epic Soul Summoning Card: Swordsman of Tianmen!
Click!
The purple soul card phantom flipped open in the air, and a figure stepped out from it with a sword!
This summoned beast was in human form, dressed in white, with an immortal look. He held a sword in his hand and stepped on a broadsword, but his expression was very calm, without a trace of anger.
This is normal, after all, it is just an epic summoned beast.
Before the major overhaul of the armaments, Yu Cang had asked Wan Quan to carry an epic summoning soul card with him. At the time, he was thinking of giving it a try after eliminating all the hidden dangers, but it had been delayed until now.
It just happened to come in handy.
"I activate: Forbidden Engine: Weak Ascension!"
Buzz! Buzz!
The air suddenly vibrated, and beneath his feet, the mechanical parts in the ancient capital site flew up one after another under the control of an unknown force, gathering into rivers of parts and rushing towards Wanquan!
In Wanquan's hand, the soul card had been shattered, and a sharp-edged mechanical core made of energy slowly rose and flew into the swordsman's chest.
The next second, countless parts rushed forward and shot into the swordsman's body!
Buzz!
Parts continued to pour in, causing the swordsman's body to expand continuously. At a certain moment, the energy core trembled slightly, and all the mechanical parts tightened in an instant, and a brand new figure appeared!
This figure is still in human form, but its size has expanded several times. The swordsman is now ten meters tall. At this moment, his arms, face, even his hair and white clothes have been replaced with corresponding mechanical structures. Moreover, these structures are all extremely beautiful, as if someone had carefully designed them just now.
The broadsword under his feet also did not escape the fate of being mechanized. On the sword body, the circuits were as complex and orderly as a circuit board, and several nodes seemed to faintly form some kind of astrological signs.
From time to time, faint electric lights shuttled through the gaps between the mechanical structures, and the source of these lights came from the dazzling energy core in the chest of the mechanical swordsman!
"Hmph..." Wan Quan groaned and quickly canceled the summons for the individual reactive armor.
The mental pressure on a mechanical swordsman is higher than imagined. If you want to maintain the mechanical swordsman, you can't put in the extra mental pressure to maintain the individual reactive armor.
Wanquan was flying in the air. Once his individual reactive armor was removed, he was about to fall to the ground. However, the swordsman turned around and waved his hand, and a force captured Wanquan and pulled him close to his body.
The mechanical swordsman is ten meters tall, more than enough to accommodate one person.
Wanquan appeared on a seat, shook his head, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
That's not right... Isn't the characteristic of the Mechanical Department that it has extremely low mental stress? Why is it so difficult for me to maintain an ordinary Legendary World now...
Before he could figure it out, something unexpected happened under his feet!
Before, Wan Quan had been suppressing the legendary creature that only had its head left. Now it took some time to start the forbidden engine. In just a short while, the legendary creature had almost grown a new body!
just!!
It roared angrily, and slapped its giant palms toward the sky. Scarlet light burst out of its eyes, and the beam of light shot in front of its palms and reached the front of the mechanical swordsman!
Wanquan was shocked. The huge mental pressure made his reaction a little slow. He wanted to quickly control the swordsman to move away, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"let me."
Before Wan Quan could react, the swordsman had already started to act.
Its movements were not fast. It just moved its toes and lightly jumped on the broadsword, allowing itself to float in the air. However, in response, the speed of the broadsword increased to the extreme in an instant, turning into a straight streak of lightning that fell from the sky, like a divine punishment!
In an instant, the lightning split the scarlet beam of light into two halves, sinking straight into the earth. In the air, the huge body of the dim light suddenly froze.
After a while, a huge crack spread from the neck of the giant ghost all the way down and stopped between the legs. This sword directly split it in half!
just!!
The giant figure screamed miserably, and after falling back to the ground, it rolled around, clutching its wound. Black blood spurted out of the wound like water, but the limb that should have grown back did not appear.
This is exactly the forbidden engine's [Bloodline Hatred] ability taking effect, which can greatly suppress self-healing!
Seeing this scene, Wan Quan didn't care. He stood up and asked vigilantly: "Who? Who is talking?"
"...You can call me Weeping Girl, Captain Wan." The Weeping Girl's voice came from the swordsman's body.
Wan Quan frowned: "Who are you?"
"I am the master's servant. You can understand that as—I am the forbidden engine."
"Your master..." Wan Quan realized something, "Yu Cang?"
"Yes - I'm sorry, Captain Wan, you don't seem to be familiar with my power. This is my first battle after being created by the master, and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the master's other soul cards. So - let me do it."
Seriously, facing an attack of that magnitude, he actually thought about dodging? Is there any need to dodge?
Instead of you trying it all over here in a hurry, I might as well do it myself!
Therefore, the weeping girl's tone was unquestionable.
"Ah?" Wan Quan was stunned, and at this time, the Weeping Girl had already controlled the swordsman to rush out.
Then, Wan Quan felt that the soul energy in the soul energy well dried up in an instant, and... not a drop of soul energy was restored.
Buzz!
The broadsword rose from the earth, turned into lightning and chased after the swordsman in the air. On the way, it directly pierced through the struggling giant glowing figure and chopped off its entire head.
There was a gleam of lightning in the swordsman's eyes. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but there were actually some flashes of joy in them.
"cut!"
The swordsman's figure swept across the battlefield, with broadswords surrounding him. Before everyone present could react to what was happening, suddenly, two other giant heads with dim light shot up into the sky!
Behead!
"Ah?" The company commander of the imperial capital was stunned.
What's the matter?
He has now stepped onto the Chaos Marching Formation and burst out with extremely powerful strength in a short period of time. He is about to fight to the death with this legendary wild beast, and then help Wanquan suppress the wild beast, so that he can free up his hands to deal with the high-level legendary beast.
Originally, he was prepared to lie in bed for a few days after the incident, but...how come the wild beast in front of him had its head separated in the blink of an eye?
And don't you, the wild beast, have the ability to heal yourself? Why are you suddenly not growing anymore?
When he looked up, he found that the large mecha that he had just beheaded with a sword had turned into lightning and soared into the sky, now flying more than a thousand meters away.
Hiss... so fast!
Among those who practice swordsmanship.
Wanquan was also puzzled.
From what the Weeping Girl said... could this card possibly have its own consciousness? No, this isn't a banned card.
Suddenly, Wanquan's expression changed.
It seems that the pet card named Ye Lai beside Yu Cang also has consciousness?
Yeah...that makes sense.
Although Wan Quan still didn't understand, after all, Master Yu Cang was researching this and was so capable, so it was normal for him to master some high-tech that was not available on the market, right?
……etc!
Wan Quan suddenly realized something.
Didn’t the Weeping Girl just say… that she didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of her master’s other soul cards?
Could it be that… Yu Cang has more than one such Soul Card?! And the other Soul Cards were probably made by Yu Cang himself!
After realizing this, Wan Quan suddenly felt dizzy.
You're just a college student, is it really okay to be so strong?!
…
In the sky, the giant bird seemed to finally notice the movement under its feet.
It looked at the swordsman rushing towards it, cried out angrily, and flapped its wings. Countless feathers fell off its wings and fell towards the swordsman, blocking all its escape routes!
The weeping lady's expression hardened, and her consciousness swept through the swordsman's original abilities one by one.
After using the Taboo Engine, all the abilities of the target can be upgraded.
Among the swordsmen's original list of abilities, the one most suitable for dealing with this situation is...
As soon as the weeping girl thought of it, the swordsman had already made sword gestures and swung his arm. The broadsword surrounding him suddenly burst out with huge electric light and swept out with the swordsman's wave of his hand!
Taboo: Tianmen Sword Qi!
Sword light emanated from the broadsword and quickly moved upstream. Wherever it passed, the black feathers in the sky were swept away!
Swish!
The sword light was too fast, and the giant bird only had time to turn its body slightly before being brushed by the sword light, and a cloud of black blood bloomed in the sky!
Phew! ! !
The giant bird felt pain and howled with its head raised. Scarlet light flashed in its eyes, and its ferocious gaze instantly locked onto the swordsman in the air!
…
"This..." Jiang Shan exclaimed softly, "The thing summoned by a level 6 Soul Card Master can actually barely compete with a high-level Soul Card Master? How is this possible!"
Qiu Zhong also frowned slightly. "That doesn't make sense... Where does its soul energy come from? A battle of this magnitude would consume an astronomical amount of soul energy..."
Beside him, Lei Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed heartily: "Well, I'll tell you what I'm talking about. Don't be scared!"
Miao Yun couldn't help but ask, "Lei Wanqing, where does the soul energy of that mechanical swordsman come from? Did you stuff a legendary wild crystal into the swordsman?"
"Hmph, don't worry about it." Lei Wanqing didn't know, but that didn't stop him from bluffing. "Just tell me whether I'm strong or not."
Several people looked at each other.
"...Forget it, I'll let the Phantom Feather Bird perform a little, and then let the swordsman kill it." Jiang Shan sighed, "Don't tell me that Old Lei used some non-renewable resources to save face..."
This phantom-feathered bird was temporarily controlled by Jiangshan using a special soul card. He wanted it to die, and the phantom-feathered bird had no way to resist.
Although the mechanical swordsman injured the Phantom Feather Bird with his first strike, the people present had very sharp eyes. They could see that the ability currently displayed by the swordsman was not enough to kill the Phantom Feather Bird.
They were already very surprised to have a legacy of the mechanical race, and they could slowly watch the rest in private.
Hearing this, Lei Wanqing snorted but did not stop him.
He also didn't know what Yu Cang used as energy... If he could avoid wasting it, he would try his best.
…
So, Youguang Feather Bird started to act openly.
I deliberately don't dodge attacks that I can dodge, and I deliberately miss attacks that I can hit.
Jiangshan and the others knew what was going on, but the soldiers on the ground didn't.
They were all stunned as they watched the swordsman fighting back and forth with the Phantom Feather Bird at an altitude of over a thousand meters, and even suppressing it slightly.
After the three legends were dealt with, several company commanders joined the front battlefield. Those epic wild beasts were easily suppressed, and the space channel was temporarily blocked.
Now they have some free time, watching the battle in the sky... they just feel it is outrageous.
You know, among those mechanical swordsmen, there's a level 6 Wanquan! The same level as all their company commanders!
Now a level six soul card master can suppress high-level heirlooms?
Many company commanders already had a look of interest in their eyes.
They also want such a powerful card!
Although the Mechanical Clan were jealous at the beginning, they did not want it too much. After all, they could see that this Mechanical deck still lacked effective damage against the Legendary level and would not be equipped to Soul Card Masters above Level 6.
But now...it smells so good!
They also want Euler to be passed down from generation to generation in a high position!
And... this cyber swordsman is so damn handsome!
While they were thinking, the outcome of the battle in the sky had already been decided.
Swish!
The broadsword swung out, and the giant glowing bird's head was immediately chopped off, and black blood spilled all over the sky.
And just at this moment.
Jiangshan's face changed.
"Oh no... the giant glowing bird is out of my control!"
"What?" Qiu Zhong turned his head. "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. The connection was directly broken... Damn it, the giant light bird has the ability to resurrect. After resurrection, it will be stronger than the first life. A swordsman can't withstand it!"
Miao Yun immediately said, "I'll take action right now!"
