Chapter 159: Conscious Swordsman

Wu Chutai stood in a safe place, watching the sword practitioners killing people indiscriminately in the sky, but his face remained ugly.

Damn it... Why is the team that is killing people indiscriminately the ancient capital?

Even if he changed to another team, he would not feel as uncomfortable as he does now.

Wu Chutai took out a soul card and hesitated.

In fact, he also has a set of legendary soul cards that can be compatible with the Light and Shadow Sacrifice Deck.

However, the cost of using this set of soul cards is too high, and the duel shield may not be able to be maintained... But now they are on military territory, and it is not a critical moment. If he gives this card to the company commander in the imperial capital to use... he dare not.

But if we don't use it, are we just going to watch Gudu steal all the limelight?

Wu Chutai gritted his teeth and walked out to Du Yanran who was standing in the front.

"Hello." Wu Chutai said, "I also have a soul card here. I want you to help me deliver it to the company commander in the imperial capital..."

"Hmm?" Du Yanran turned her head and said, "Let me see."

Wu Chutai nodded, and at this moment.

Phew! !

A scream was heard in the sky. Wu Chutai looked up subconsciously, only to see that the swordsman had already slashed out with his sword and cut off the entire head of the Ghostly Feather Bird!

How is that possible?

Wu Chutai's face changed and he subconsciously didn't believe it.

That's a high-level heirloom... The gap between a high-level heirloom and an ordinary heirloom may be even greater than the gap between an ordinary heirloom and a rare one. How could a level six soul card master possibly contend with such an existence?

Of course, he didn't know that the glow-feathered bird was acting as a target, he just thought it was outrageous.

Now... is it necessary for me to take out this soul card...

The swordsman killed the phantom-feathered bird so quickly that he also chopped off the heads of all the legendary wild beasts on the field.

Originally, for those giant ghostly creatures, even if their heads were chopped off, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, they could just grow another one. However, the mechanical swordsman had some strange ability that actually made their self-healing ability ineffective... As a result, there were only three heads left on the field, which posed no threat to the company commanders.

In other words, he has nothing to do anymore.

Well... forget it.

Just then.

Teng!!

A huge noise suddenly sounded in the sky. Wu Chutai looked up and saw that the body of the glowing bird in the air did not fall to the ground after being killed. Instead, its entire body was burning with raging black flames. For a moment, it seemed as if a black sun had risen in the sky!

…

Among mechanical sword practitioners.

The Weeping Girl frowned, then looked in a certain direction thoughtfully.

Hmm... so my feeling was correct. This wild beast is indeed being controlled by someone, right...

She said, there was something wrong with the fight, it felt dull.

However, now that she has killed this wild beast once, the ability of [Bloodline Hatred] takes effect. When the Weeping Girl exists in the Forbidden Engine, killing the target will directly sever its connection with the operator.

Although the description shows that the target of this ability is a "summoned beast", it now seems that the criteria for determining this summoned beast should be quite vague.

Looking at the black fireball that was being revived, the Weeping Girl controlled the swordsman to send out a ray of Tianmen sword energy, which shot directly into the fireball.

The Weeping Girl's original intention was to test it out first, to see if she could interrupt the revival of the Phantom-Feathered Bird. However, she knew that this sword energy seemed to directly cause some kind of reaction. The fireball exploded in an instant, and the Phantom-Feathered Bird reappeared!

The Ghostly Feather Bird was still black, but its feathers had turned into faint black flames. As soon as it appeared, its scarlet eyes locked onto the mechanical swordsman in the air.

The Weeping Lady's expression changed slightly. She was about to react when she saw a flash before her eyes. Then the broadsword that was blocking her was shattered by a huge force in an instant. The glowing bird turned into a blurry black shadow and passed by her, heading straight in a certain direction!

Bang!

This blow almost broke the swordsman in half, and a large part of the mechanical structure was destroyed. For a moment, electric arcs flashed on his body. The swordsman's entire body instantly lost control and fell from the sky along with the broken sword.

dark place.

Miao Yun's expression showed no surprise.

When the Ghostly Feathered Bird was just resurrected, it was not considered weak among the high-ranking legends. This swordsman was only able to compete with it because Jiangshan deliberately suppressed him. Now that he has been resurrected, he will naturally be defeated.

However, they did acknowledge the ability of this mechanical swordsman. After all, not every soul card could easily kill three legendary wild beasts.

Then, it was her turn to clean up the mess...

Miao Yun raised her hand slightly, and a soul card like a door opened at her side, and a tiger-like beast slowly walked out of it.

The tiger's body is pure white, with layers of silver keratin condensed at the joints of the white tiger, forming the appearance of armor and shining with a gorgeous metallic luster.

This is one of the trump cards of her deck: the Beastmaster of Pure Silver.

A powerful void-attribute legendary summoning soul card.

Miao Yun waved her hand and was about to subdue the glowing bird. At this moment, she seemed to sense something and her eyes suddenly turned to the swordsman who was still falling in the air.

"Huh? This is..." Miao Yun raised her brows slightly, "If that's the case... then there's no need to rush."

Just now, she sensed a new kind of power in the body of the swordsman.

Then let’s wait and see… After all, it’s just a high-ranking heirloom. With so many guardians of the country present, how can it escape?

…

Somewhere on the battlefield.

hold head high!!!

A loud dragon roar suddenly rose from above the battlefield. Everyone turned their heads and saw a thick cloud that had spread over a corner of the battlefield. At this moment, a real white dragon was riding the clouds and flying into the sky.

"Captain Wan!" Captain Shendu stood on the dragon's head. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were bright. "I'll help you..."

"It's the captain of the Divine Capital!" A soldier recognized the figure standing atop the dragon's head. "He summoned the Legendary! It's a Dragon Soul Card, so it must be very powerful...eh?"

Before the warrior could finish his words, he saw a huge, blurry black shadow falling from the sky, carrying heavy black flames with it. With just a casual blow, it easily broke all the clouds!

boom!

Naturally, the ordinary true dragon handed down from generation to generation could not withstand this attack. Just a few seconds after being summoned, it entered death cooling.

In the safe zone, Yun Yan slapped his forehead.

Damn, that’s so embarrassing.

The captain of the ancient capital fought back and forth with the high-ranking legend to buy you some time, but you... fell to your death as soon as you stepped out of the door, right?

"Wait!" Wu Chutai was suddenly startled. "Is that wild beast... heading towards us? Commander, hurry up and do it! Don't let it get close to us!"

The direction that the glowing bird was flying was right here!

Du Yanran frowned, moved his fingers slightly, and was about to activate the soul card, but at this moment, Miao Yun's voice came to his ears.

"Hmm?" Du Yanran's expression shifted, a bit doubtful, but he still accepted the order, nodded, and retracted his finger. "Don't worry, it can't hurt you... You should go back first. This place is a bit too far forward."

"Haha...that's good, that's good." Wu Chutai had no room to move.

Seeing that he did not retreat, Du Yanran stopped trying to persuade him.

Seeing how calm he was, Wu Chutai felt a little relieved.

Since the commander said so, he must be intercepting them later, right?... Then it should be no problem...

However, as he watched the high-ranking heirloom getting closer and closer to him, Wu Chutai became more and more panicked.

What's going on? Why haven't you taken action yet?

It’s almost here!

Wu Chutai swallowed his saliva quietly, and instead of retreating, he moved closer to Du Yanran's back.

He is now standing in front of everyone and will definitely be the first to be hit by the Phantom Feather Bird. However, in the current situation, he thinks that going somewhere else will only be more dangerous, so it would be safest to stay by Du Yanran's side.

"Hey, you..." Wu Chutai's panic was already reflected on his face, "It's coming soon, why don't you take action..."

Du Yanran did not respond.

Wu Chutai's heart suddenly sank. He turned his head and saw the glowing bird right in front of him. The hot wind from its huge wings had already hit his face. He could no longer bear the fear that was growing in his heart. He screamed and raised his arms to cover his eyes.

Just at this moment.

In the distant sky, a light suddenly lit up in the swordsman's electronic eyes.

"Activate ability: Weak Ascension!"

Buzz!

The energy core in the chest suddenly shone brightly, and several light prisms radiated out, shooting towards infinity. At a certain moment, a layer of colorful light suddenly coated the light prisms, and then the swordsman's mechanical structure slowly disappeared under this colorful light, and was replaced by... a translucent shape composed of unknown energy.

The figure was only an outline, but it still looked like a swordsman. Looking closely, one could see countless shimmering words flowing through the form, and a rainbow of colors flickering in and out, making it appear as if a universe existed within it.

When the Weeping Maiden exists in the Forbidden Engine, [Weak Ascension] gains an additional effect: the race of the target can be further changed to a conscious being!

The conscious swordsman opened his eyes, and in an instant, countless emotional forces intertwined together, instantly crossing the sky and rushing into the mind of the Ghostly Feathered Bird!

Phew! !

The bird with the ghostly glowing feathers let out a long, shrill cry, lost control of its body, and plunged headfirst into the ground. Countless dirt was blown up at once, and the strong wind blew past Du Yanran, but he just looked at the bird with the ghostly glowing feathers that was almost in front of him, without moving a muscle.

But Wu Chutai next to him was not so lucky. A high-ranking legendary animal rushed to his feet, which scared him to death. Coupled with the sudden strong wind, Wu Chutai lost his balance and fell directly to the ground with his butt!

"Teacher!" Wen Yang rushed forward, "Are you okay?"

"I, I..." Wu Chutai kept moving backwards on the ground, his eyes still fixed on the glowing bird struggling on the ground.

He couldn't think anymore.

Even though this legendary creature was shot down by an inexplicable force, the terrifying aura and oppressive feeling on its body did not diminish in the slightest. The raging black flames danced wildly around it like the tentacles of a demon. It flapped its wings angrily, as if fighting against some force, but it was obvious that it was now at a disadvantage.

But even so, it is not something that an ordinary card maker like Wu Chutai can bear.

His Soul Card Master level was only level six! He had been in the laboratory for years and wasn't even proficient in summoning a higher-level Legendary. How could he possibly withstand the pressure of a high-level Legendary? Not to mention they were so close!

…

far away.

The Weeping Girl seemed to smile.

Immediately, she put away her expression, and controlled the swordsman's consciousness to raise his hand and point. Suddenly, the two broken swords that had not yet fallen to the ground suddenly stopped, and then turned into two colorful streams of light that flew towards her, and then merged into one again in front of the swordsman's finger!

After they were put together, a layer of rainbow light quickly spread from the broken edge, sweeping across the sword body, turning the sword into a translucent shape like the swordsman.

The swordsman's fingers moved slightly.

"Forbidden Tianmen Sword Qi!"

Without seeing the broadsword being swung, countless sword energies shot out from the sword in an instant, crossing the sky in the blink of an eye, and falling into the body of the glowing bird like a rainstorm!

For a moment, the Ghostly Light Bird screamed miserably. It had just broken free from the violent emotion that suddenly rushed into its head and had just flown up a little bit when it was suppressed to the ground again by the torrent of sword energy!

Next second.

Two parallel rainbow lights fell from the sky!

Wow!

The rainbow light paused and dissipated at the same height, and two consciousnesses appeared. One of them was the consciousness of a swordsman who was making sword gestures with his hands, and the other... was a broadsword that was inserted into the body of the ghostly feathered bird.

The screams of the Glowing Bird came to an abrupt end.

In this state, the swordsman's attacks will carry with them powerful spiritual damage, and the Phantom Feather Bird has no defense against this, so even if it has a few more lives, it will not be enough to kill it.

Seeing that the Glow-Feathered Bird had been dealt with, the swordsman in consciousness raised his eyes slightly and looked in a certain direction.

…

somewhere

Jiang Shan, who had his mouth slightly open, was stunned when he met the gaze of the conscious swordsman.

"He can still find me? ...No, this can't be Wanquan's manipulation, right?"

The consciousness swordsman's fighting style and some small details just now did not seem perfect as a soldier.

Jiangshan couldn't help but look at Lei Wanqing.

Lei Wanqing smiled and said, "Don't ask me, I don't understand the details... If you want to know, just ask Yu Cang yourself."

Wow...

A silver light rose up from the side, and Miao Yun slowly walked out of it.

"...Thunder Ten Thousand Greens." Miao Yun dispelled the silver energy lingering in her hair, her tone somewhat helpless. "You really are... This soul card is so powerful, why do I even need to take action?"

Lei Wanqing laughed, but this time, he didn't say anything stubbornly: "Actually... I didn't expect this card to be so powerful."

When he saw the conscious swordsman appear just now, Lei Wanqing's expression of surprise was no less than Jiang Shan and the others. His expression change certainly could not be hidden from these old guys.

"Honestly..." Qiu Zhong's face was still filled with surprise. "Let a level six Soul Card Master directly possess the power to crush a high-level Legendary Master... I've only seen this kind of exaggerated record in some banned cards before."

"Hahaha." Lei Wanqing laughed heartily, "The cards we Yu Cang made are certainly not banned cards."

"No, I really can't help it." Jiang Shan looked anxious, "I have to ask where the energy of this mechanical swordsman comes from!"

…

“Fuck…is this true…” Jin Zhaoshan was stunned.

Not long after the battle began, he was trampled to death by a giant phantom figure. At this moment, he had been watching the show in this place for a long time.

I originally thought that Wanquan's suppression of the Phantom Light Bird was exaggerated enough, and then after the Phantom Light Bird was killed, it directly entered the second stage, and with a burst of energy, it counterattacked and blew up the swordsman... This is normal. After all, none of the high-ranking people are weak.

But who knew that you, a swordsman, also had a second stage!

"Indeed... it's a bit outrageous." Lao Bai had an expression as if his cognition had been reshaped.

A level 6 Soul Card Master instantly killed a high-ranking Legendary Master? How could he have such a dream?

"But..." Jin Zhaoshan hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I just felt..." Jin Zhaoshan said uncertainly, "Why does that perfectly controlled swordsman feel so effeminate..."

Lao Bai: "...be quiet, don't let anyone hear you"

…

"Teacher, are you okay?" Wen Yang patted Wu Chutai's back gently.

"...I...am fine." Until now, Wu Chutai is still in shock.

He looked at the corpse not far in front of him, and the fear of facing the devil just now seemed to still linger in his heart.

This scene will probably be his nightmare for a long time.

"Hurry... help me back..."

"Okay, teacher, please go slower."

Hu Chen also hurried forward and helped Wu Chutai up.

On the way, Wu Chutai couldn't help but turn his head and take a look at the conscious swordsman in mid-air.

He...can't make a card like this.

Wu Chutai has been immersed in card making for many years and is already very experienced, but because of this, he is very clear about his limits.

As a card maker, he had to admit that he would never be able to create such a powerful soul card in his lifetime. Even if he obtained all the soul card patterns, he might not be able to understand the structure.

The patterns on this kind of soul card must be perfect to the extreme!

Faced with this kind of soul card, Wu Chutai did not feel any jealousy. After all, the gap was too big to be jealous.

The person he envied was Yu Cang.

Why! How could someone like him be able to participate in a project of this magnitude! And have the opportunity to get close to such a soul card!

Shouldn't an idiot like this pay a heavy price for his own naiveté?

Damn it...

…

Wanquan lifted the swordsman's summons.

Suddenly, the strange but magnificent body of the conscious swordsman slowly dissipated from the air, and Wanquan fell to the ground from the air.

He shook his head.

I feel a little dizzy...

The Weeping Girl has a lot of combat experience, and as a conscious life form, she doesn't take Wan Quan's feelings into consideration at all when driving the Swordsman... After this battle, even the battle-hardened Wan Quan couldn't help but feel a little airsick.

But it’s really cool.

Although he didn't control it himself, he still experienced the feeling of being a strong man... and this soul card would be delivered to him sooner or later. Then, he could pass on the high position of Ora to future generations himself!

that is……

Wan Quan looked at his empty soul energy well, feeling a bit amused and helpless.

Now this soul energy well is like it's broken, not a drop of soul energy can flow out...but my mental strength is still being consumed.

However, he knew that this was temporary. These soul energies did not disappear, but were withdrawn by him in advance.

No matter what, it’s enough to have fun now!

Wan Quan came to Yu Cang and returned the soul card to him.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yu Cang nodded.

"Oh, that's not true." Wan Quan chuckled and said after a while, "Um... Master Yu Cang, can you please quickly mass-produce this forbidden engine? I can't wait to use this card..."

He knew that a heirloom-level soul card was no longer something that could be made easily... Most of the time, even the author of a heirloom-level soul card would have to study for a while before he could copy a second one after making the first one, and mass production was even more of a distant prospect.

Yu Cang smiled and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible...but it may take a while."

Wan Quan nodded excitedly, then took his leave and went to see his company.

Yu Cang took out the Forbidden Engine, and saw the Weeping Girl appear on the card.

"Master, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission." The weeping girl performed a foreign etiquette.

"Well done." Yu Cang expressed his affirmation.

"Qi'er wants to praise too!" Qi'er came to Yu Cang's hand, looked at the crying girl, and gave a thumbs up, "Sister crying girl is so cool!"

The crying girl smiled, looked at the girl and stuck out her tongue.

She knew that Qi'er was bragging about how she had scared Wu Chutai.

Humph... Of course I did it on purpose!

…

As the fighting on the front lines ended and the army regrouped, everyone realized that what had just happened was just an "extra project."

The space channel had been blocked again. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone got on the military vehicle and returned to Yujiang.

There will be a lecture in the evening.

When I came here, this outpost was still in good condition, but now it has become a ruin.

Seeing this, Yu Cang probably understood that the reason why this outpost was seriously lacking in infrastructure was because it was a disposable outpost.

It will be destroyed after use.

However, on the way back, Yu Cang did not take the ancient capital's military vehicle, but was called to another military vehicle.

It's more like a motorhome than a military vehicle.

As soon as he entered the car, seven pairs of eyes fell on Yu Cang.

Qi'er immediately grabbed Yu Cang's arm, looking very scared, while Yu Cang blinked, not understanding what was happening.

"Xiao Cang, come, come..." Lei Wanqing said with a smile, "Hurry up and sit down. These old guys must see you now. Oh, don't mind it."

"It's okay." Yu Cang roughly guessed the identities of these people.

Apart from anything else, he knew Wang Manxiao and Jiang Shan.

Lei Wanqing introduced several old guys to Yu Cang one by one, but before he finished, Jiang Shan couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Yu." Jiang Shan said impatiently, "That soul card... the one you just asked Wan Quan to use. Was it you who made it?"

Yu Cang nodded: "Yes. This soul card is called Forbidden Engine·Ku Weak Ascension. It is a legendary soul card that can be added to the mechanical clan system."

Jiang Shan was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but sigh:

“…Heroes truly emerge from youth.”

"That's enough." Lei Wanqing patted Yu Cang's shoulder and said calmly, "This isn't the first painting our Xiao Cang has made. What's the big deal?"

Jiangshan rolled his eyes.

That's why it's worth making a fuss about!

Generally speaking, when one is young and lacks knowledge, making a Heirloom Soul Card is usually a result of inspiration or coincidence. Such a card may only appear once every few years... How can one be like Yu Cang, who can easily make several!

Qiu Zhong smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, Jiangshan, don't scare me. By the way, Xiaoyu, there's something I'm curious about. Where does the energy for that forbidden engine come from? Does it use legendary wild crystals?"

"That's not the case," Yu Cang explained. "The function of the Forbidden Engine is to allow the user to withdraw future soul energy for use in advance. This ability actually has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the user doesn't have to worry about soul energy depletion for a certain period of time, but the disadvantage is... Take Wanquan as an example. According to conservative estimates, Wanquan will probably not produce any soul energy for nearly a week."

"Hiss..." Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

It’s not because the conditions for this ability are harsh... but because this ability is too strong!

Although it's scary that it can't do anything for seven days, the combat power it can display is truly high-level and legendary!

Many times, it doesn’t matter how high the cost is, what matters is whether you can do it!

There are so many people in Yan Country, so many level six soul card masters. If they can all use high-level legendary power... how terrifying will it be?

For a moment, several people looked at Yu Cang with complicated eyes.

As soon as Yu Cang's mechanical card deck appeared, they knew that this would be a reform of the grassroots military system, but now... this reform has begun to affect the backbone of Yan Country.

So sudden.

"Then Xiaoyu, when can you sort out the pattern structure of this soul card?" Jiangshan was a little expectant.

"Well..." Yu Cang hesitated, "It's hard to say."

The others were fine, but the Weeping Lady was obviously unique, and until he found a replica, it would be difficult to make a soul card as strong as the one he had.

"So what do you think? When will it be ready?"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lei Wanqing protected Yu Cang, "I'm telling you, scientific research requires a balance between work and rest. Xiao Cang can do research whenever she wants. Stop forcing her."

"...Do I need you to tell me that?" Jiang Shan glared at Lei Wanqing unhappily.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Shan said, "By the way, Xiao Yu, have you heard of Feng Yue Cang Jian from the Holy City?"

Yu Cang was stunned: "I have heard of it."

"How about this? You come to our Shengdu University for an exchange for a year, and I can help you apply for a place in Fengyue Cangjian... How about that?"

"Hey, Old Jiang!" Lei Wanqing glared, "Didn't we agree not to mention it?"
