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 580: Swords falling like rain, the mystery of the destiny star?
Gu Jieshuang took action.
Yu Cang's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't stop.
Admittedly, the appearance of these people was a bit coincidental, and there might be a conspiracy involved, but he was not the kind of person who was afraid of conspiracies. No matter who came or what their intentions were, he would just deal with them accordingly.
What's more, with Taichu by my side, the worst that can happen is that we can use force to defeat the opponent's cleverness!
Originally, Yu Cang was not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die without helping. He was cautious only because he had no choice but to do so in a foreign land. Moreover, as the secret "leader" of the team, he had to be responsible for the entire team.
Now that Gu Jieshuang has understood everything, it is probably time for someone to try out his skills. So, he naturally would not spoil the fun at this time.
He was also looking forward to seeing what kind of style the sword that Gu Jieshuang had comprehended would have... What was Gu Jieshuang's sword intent?
clang!
Before Yu Cang could finish his thoughts, the sound of the sword had already arrived in front of the iron man!
Um?
Yu Cang's expression changed slightly.
The thing that is wrapped in sword intent is a sword... Jie Emei?
Is Gu Jieshuang using sword power to control Jie Emei?
laugh!
With a sweep of the sword, the iron man was beheaded instantly, and his head flew into the air. The playful expression on his face gradually changed and distorted, becoming one of surprise and tyranny!
Its eyes suddenly widened in anger, and its gaze was instantly locked on the figure that leaped into the air - Gu Jieshuang!
Yes, his head was chopped off, but the iron man was still alive!
Gu Jieshuang floated out of the chariot, stepped lightly in the air, and the shadow of a long sword automatically appeared under her feet. She passed by quickly, and the shadow of the long sword instantly dissipated. In the blink of an eye, she had already reached the front of the iron man!
Leng Jue was standing at Gu Jieshuang's left shoulder, his eyes locked on the iron man, his petite face full of murderous intent.
Bang!
"roar!!!"
The iron man's head fell heavily to the ground, and then he opened his mouth and let out an angry roar. The headless corpse immediately jumped up and raised his fist to kill Gu Jieshuang!
Seeing the Iron Man survived the beheading, Gu Jieshuang was surprised, but his eyes remained extremely calm, like ice. He stretched out his hand, and the Jie Emei who had just beheaded the Iron Man drew an arc in the air and flew back in a spin!
However, she did not hold the sword in her hand - there was only a whistling sound, and Jie Emei directly crashed into Gu Jie Shuang's right shoulder!
Bang!
The ice-like sword shattered when it hit the shoulder. Countless ice mists spread out, and then re-condensed, and finally turned into something like shoulder armor!
The shoulder armor is also made of ice crystal-like material, and a small sword is suspended behind the shoulder armor, looking like a smaller version of Jie Emei.
Then, a ray of light suddenly lit up behind Gu Jieshuang!
On the side, Yu Cang was confused at first, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
"Is this... a pendulum bridge?"
Yes, Gu Jieshuang used the sword power to transform Jie Emei into something similar to the inner face, and placed it behind the right shoulder just corresponding to Leng Jue!
Can the shape of the destiny star also be set as the inner side?
The inner side is the instinct of the soul card, and Jie Emei itself is the manifestation of Gu Jie Shuang's instinct under the power of the destiny star. Setting it as the inner side... doesn't that mean that this is the instinct of instinct?
"No."
The sound of pulling suddenly came from the bottom of my heart.
"It's not that Jie Emei has become the inner side of Gu Jieshuang...but that Gu Jieshuang has become 'Wu Qu'!"
"What?" Yu Cang frowned, "Doesn't that mean..."
"It shouldn't be. There's no sign that Gu Jieshuang's personality has been replaced."
Yu Cang: "..."
These two sentences contained a huge amount of information, which made Yu Cang fall into deep thought for a while.
But before he could come up with anything, Gu Jieshuang on the field made the next move!
After setting up the pendulum bridge, it is of course not just for viewing, it is for use in pendulum summoning!
Buzz!
The light behind Gu Jieshuang suddenly solidified, as if it had turned into ice crystals, and then, an icy sword beam rushed out from it, like a rainstorm or a meteor, pouring down!
Pendulum summon!
Summon as many summon cards in your deck as possible according to the scales at both ends of the Pendulum Bridge!
On the side, Yu Cang's attention was completely attracted. After seeing clearly what was in the meteor, he couldn't help but gasp.
He was just thinking, even if Gu Jieshuang built the pendulum bridge, what could he summon?
Pendulum Bridge is used to spread the board, summoning as many cards from the Main Deck and Sleeping Summoning Cards as possible. However, Gu Jieshuang's deck has no summoning cards, and only Leng Jue barely meets the requirements, but it is impossible to summon through Pendulum Bridge...
And now, the scene before him has given Yu Cang the answer.
sword!
What rushed out from the pendulum bridge were all kinds of swords!
Moreover, they are all familiar faces!
The Breaking the Seal series includes Xingyi, Hantian, Zhitianming, Sitian, Guizong and even Tianyou Xingshuang and Hantian Jinzhan!
All the powerful equipment cards sleeping in Gu Jieshuang's card box responded to Gu Jieshuang's call at this moment, and turned into sword lights and descended from the pendulum bridge into the world, carrying Gu Jieshuang's sword intent, falling from the sky!
In fact, it wasn't just equipment cards - Yu Cang also saw some swords he had never seen before, but the aura they exuded was very familiar... They were spell cards in Gu Jieshuang's deck!
These spell cards were also summoned out in the form of swords during this pendulum summoning!
One of the swords had a slender blade, and the hilt was like a finger, with a long nail at the end. It was the long sword transformed from the "Tyrant's Designation"!
clang!
The whistling sound of long swords echoed in the air, wind and snow suddenly arose, and the sky changed drastically. Each of these long swords had extremely strong power. They appeared at the same time, stirring up the wind and snow in an instant. A thin layer of ice exploded on the ground. Every sword attack was sharp and deadly!
Surrounded by swords, Gu Jieshuang put her fingers together and her pupils suddenly turned cold. The rain of swords followed her will and pierced into the iron man's body!
Click!
The solid ice froze the iron man's body and head at the same time, and his movements and expressions were frozen in an instant.
After doing all this, Gu Jieshuang let out a long breath, withdrew his hands, and landed lightly on the ground.
She finished her epiphany and was about to try out a new sword move when she heard a cry for help, so she immediately took action - she didn't know who to chop, but that was obviously a wild beast, so it wouldn't be a mistake to chop it!
That being said, the wild beast was a bit weak, and Gu Jieshuang originally thought that he would not be able to exert his full strength, but the wild beast's vitality was quite tenacious, and it could not die even after beheading its head... This was just right, as he didn't have to look for something new to test his sword.
However, after chopping, she turned around and looked at Yu Cang and the others, blinked, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"Um, boss?"
The coldness on Gu Jieshuang's face faded away at once. She tiptoed to Yu Cang's side and asked in a low voice:
"I...shouldn't I have taken action..."
Only then did Yu Cang withdrew his gaze from the iron man and looked at Gu Jieshuang, with a smile on his face.
"It's okay. It was a wild beast. You didn't kill it by mistake."
After hearing Yu Cang only say that there was nothing wrong but didn't say that he should take action, Gu Jieshuang probably understood that he was indeed too hasty in taking action.
"Sorry, boss... I was just itching to do it..."
"Okay, it's really okay." Yu Cang was a little amused. "It's a wild beast, so it should be killed. I'm also curious about what you've realized."
"Hehe...Okay, boss. Then I'll finish off that wild beast, okay?"
"Um."
After getting confirmation, Gu Jieshuang immediately raised his hand, and the long swords that had pierced the iron man's body immediately rushed out, and then turned into streams of light and flew into the pendulum bridge.
The sword light broke through the ice and took away the iron man's last bit of life. His iron body shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
During this process, Yu Cang had been observing Gu Jieshuang's expression.
Just now when La said that Gu Jieshuang had become "Wu Qu", Yu Cang was really scared... He had heard before that there was a possibility that the destiny star could take over the body of the chosen one. La's words really made it easy for people to think of something wrong.
Moreover, the expression on Gu Jieshuang's face when she attacked just now was so cold that it seemed as if she had no emotions at all, and it really looked like she was possessed by a star.
Fortunately, it now seems that Gu Jieshuang, who has left the combat state, has returned to normal. La also said that Gu Jieshuang's personality is still the same and has not been changed.
Yu Cang still trusted La's judgment.
Yu Cang shifted his gaze slightly and saw that the two people being chased by the iron man were frightened by the battle scene. They hid on the side of the road, huddled together, shivering, and didn't dare to look at them.
Lou Yan immediately put down his shovel and walked forward, looking like he wanted to comfort the two men.
Therefore, Yu Cang was not in a hurry to go forward and ask - judging from their expressions, he probably wouldn't be able to get anything valuable out of asking now, so he decided to let Lou Yan talk to them first.
After killing the iron man beast, nothing happened. Perhaps this is just a coincidence.
Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang: "So... you have comprehended the sword intent? Why is it different from what Senior Ning has learned?"
"Hehe... I haven't fully comprehended it yet." Gu Jieshuang scratched his head. "My sword intent... right now is probably just at the level of Duan Feng in the league. Although I can use it, I can only find a carrier... It's still a little short of becoming a complete sword intent."
Yu Cang seemed to be lost in thought: "So, this carrier is Jie Emei?"
He remembered the duel between Duan Feng and Wu Chen during the league.
Before the match, Yu Cang also sensed traces of sword intent on Duan Feng's body, but it was obvious that even Duan Feng didn't know what it was, he just knew it was very useful.
Relying on the upper summons, Duan Feng can use the power of the soul card to a certain extent, and with the blessing of the sword intent, he can directly release the dragon's might and even dragon breath with his physical body, and use it to do some incredible things.
Duan Feng’s condition at that time... was probably similar to Gu Jieshuang’s before. He had comprehended the sword intent, but he didn’t know it.
Later, in the finals, Duan Feng went a step further and mixed the sword intent into the soul card made by Aqiu, creating that ritual fusion... That soul card was the carrier of Duan Feng's sword intent. Similarly, Gu Jieshuang might be in a similar situation now.
Is it true that one must go through these stages to comprehend the sword intent?
First, one comprehends without realizing it, then one uses tangible objects to control the sword intent, and finally, one is free from the carrier, and the sword intent moves with the heart and appears at any time.
Gu Jieshuang thought about it and shook her head: "Not entirely... The sword intent on Jie'e's eyebrows doesn't seem complete... I'm a little confused too. I'll have to ask Senior Taichu for advice later."
"Let's put that aside... Do you feel anything is wrong now?"
"No, what's wrong, boss?"
"La just told me that your status is 'becoming Wu Qu'. I'm worried that you've been affected by your destiny star."
"Is this... true?" Gu Jieshuang's eyes were a little panicked. "But I feel like I'm still myself... Could it be that my perception is wrong?"
"I wasn't mistaken."
A voice came from the side, and La had already arrived beside Yu Cang at the zero anchor point.
"You really haven't been possessed—it seems that what happened to Jie Shuang is more interesting than I imagined."
Yu Cang: "How do you say that?"
"Just now, I searched my memories and confirmed it with Stardust." La pointed a finger at his head. "In our memories... under this starry sky, there is no star named 'Wu Qu'."
Yu Cang blinked: "This..."
La continued, "I'm quite proficient in astrology. When I first heard that Jie Shuang's destiny star was a star I had never seen, I thought that part of my memory was lost in the Starry Sky Vision. But Xingchen hasn't heard of it either - perhaps there is another hidden reason."
"Um...that."
A soul card extended from the card box, and the princess floated up from the card picture with her hand raised.
"Let me be clear, I've never heard of this name... It's simply because I'm not very good at astrology and I don't have a star chart. You'd better not take my words as your basis... Yeah, that's it."
As a princess, astrology was a required course, and she learned it very well. However, in front of La, that little knowledge was obviously insignificant.
After saying this, the princess kept her hand raised and automatically put it back into the card box along with the soul card.
La: "...Stardust is being modest."
"Um."
"But putting that aside, if Wu Qu really existed in the starry sky, then Jie Shuang, who borrowed Wu Qu's power just now, should have seen some kind of gaze. However, I didn't notice anything, so it's very likely that the star Wu Qu doesn't exist."
After hearing this, Cang was silent for a moment.
Indeed...the principle of setting Leng Jue as the inner side is to use Leng Jue as the selector.
Jie Emei is a combination of instinct and destiny star power. It represents Gu Jie Shuang. If it is set as the inner side... refer to the relationship with Leng Jue...
Gu Jieshuang is Gu Jieshuang’s chooser, which proves that Gu Jieshuang = Wu Qu!
The logic is correct, but it feels so weird.
Indeed, if you borrow the power of Wu Qu in this way, it is normal to attract some "attention from evil gods".
He scratched his head. "But if the star Wu Qu doesn't exist, how can Jie Shuang use it as his destiny star?"
"No, it's not that Wu Qu doesn't exist, it's that Wu Qu doesn't exist now!"
Yu Cang blinked: "What do you mean?"
"I've learned a little about this 'Synchronous Summoning' before. It's a very powerful force, even capable of transcending time and space," La said. "So... is it possible that 'Wu Qu' is a star that will be born in the future, or a star that has already gone out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Cang suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He realized one thing.
Gu Jieshuang...her process of awakening her destiny star is different from others!
It was at the ruins of the Divine Capital that she used the skill of sensing the star ranks of all things to forcibly connect with her own life star and directly learned the name!
Didn't she awaken with the help of the gray soul card... Could it be that it was the star-level induction at that moment that caused her life star to be rewritten... and turned into a star in the future or the past?
