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 620: Taboo stacking!
"Um?"
After calling out Yu Wanqing's name, Tai Chu raised his eyebrows.
Something is wrong.
The name "Yu Wanqing" does not match the existence in front of me.
Mythical beings already have a certain degree of sensitivity to "names", and this sensitivity not only applies to their own, but also to others'.
Yu Wanqing is just a simple word, but when it is connected with specific people and deeds, it becomes a "name" that can directly point to a certain individual.
Within the range of perception, she can vaguely perceive any being that recites Tai Hina's name, and similarly, when Tai Hina says the name of a certain being, she will have a corresponding perception in her heart.
It won't be very accurate, but this perception is definitely real.
But now, this name does not match the person in front of me.
She is not the real person?
wrong.
She has studied banned cards for such a long time that Tai Hin cannot fail to distinguish whether the one in front of her is a person or a banned card.
She was certain that the person standing in front of her was indeed Yu Wanqing herself.
Then why...
Taichu frowned slightly.
"You erased your name?"
Yu Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Teacher, you still understand me."
Tai Hina: “…”
She took a step forward, crossed the pond, and came in front of Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu was drinking tea late at night, with only a table and a chair in front of her.
When Tai Chu appeared here, blood-colored energy suddenly surged from the ground, and another chair condensed next to the small table, so Tai Chu sat on it leisurely.
She reached out and picked up Yu Wanqing's teapot, tilted it slightly, and a stream of tea flowed out of the spout and fell into a teacup that had just been formed.
Now, outside the imperial mausoleum, the entire world has been shrouded in blood. In the deep night where there was originally no moonlight, there is now a bright glow of blood, making the visibility of this world much higher.
Just like in the Imperial Capital, the space around here had now become Tai Hyun's domain, where she could control everything. Furthermore, unless they were mythical beings, no one could even sense or perceive anything within this realm.
Not only that, as long as Tai Hina is still maintaining this area, any existence that attempts to leave here is equivalent to directly confronting Tai Hina.
In other words, Madam Yu, you can no longer escape!
What actually constructed this area was Tai Chu's sword intent, the Tai Yan that could calculate everything and exhaust all possibilities. Therefore, this space was theoretically perfect.
Judging from her aura, Madam Yu has already reached level seven - it seems that her strength has improved since our last meeting.
But, let alone level seven, even if she was a national guardian, what could she do? In front of Tai Yan, she had no chance of escape.
so……
"Why do you do this?" Tai Hina said, taking a sip. "Names are important."
The more powerful a person is, the more he can sense this.
As mentioned before, mythical beings are already able to sense the connection between their names and themselves.
But... this relationship is a bit confusing.
Can you hear someone saying your name? This certainly sounds very impressive, but everything is mutual. If you can sense the person saying your name through this connection, then the other person also has the opportunity and possibility to sense you!
To some extent, this is a weakness!
It's fine for ordinary people, but what if the one chanting the name is a fellow mythical being?
Doesn't this mean that one's coordinates are open and transparent to other myths, and anyone who wants to know can find out?
The myth itself can actively weaken the connection with its own name, but it must always leave a little bit. Although theoretically, the connection with the real name that has been reduced to the extreme will no longer be perceived by the myth...but the world is so big, who knows if there are other myths with some strange ability that can do this?
Not to mention, there are many powerful abilities that can be triggered simply by using the name as a medium.
Just like Feng's [Zhan Ming].
So, as far as Tai Hina knew, after becoming a myth and realizing the connection with the real name, everyone had this idea - erase the real name!
Since it's a weakness, just erase it.
But, no one has tried it.
Because once they try to turn this idea into reality... an almost absurd chill will rise from the bottom of their hearts.
This chill made them feel as if they were back to the moment when they were at their weakest and facing the strongest enemy.
Therefore, there is no myth that dares to erase its own name.
Because in their perception, this is no different from suicide!
And in front of her, Yu Wanqing actually did this directly.
Logically speaking, this is a fallacy. Before becoming a god, Yu Wanqing should not have been aware of the connection with his real name, so how could he have erased his real name?
If you can't sense it, how can you cut it off?
Faced with Tai Chu who suddenly appeared beside her, ripples appeared in Yu Wanqing's teacup.
Her expression was still smiling, and there was no panic on her face. She just said, "Nothing is indispensable, including the name."
“…You can no longer become a god.”
Although I don’t know what the name means to mythology, it is certain that gods cannot lose their names.
"Teacher, I'm really flattered that you think so highly of me."
"You are my disciple."
Hearing this, Yu Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Then I'll take your kind words. As for the name... If I had kept my name, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to live peacefully until now."
As he spoke, Yu Wanqing turned his head and looked at Yu Cang who was walking over.
"Don't you think so, Yu Cang?"
Yu Cang: "...No tea for me?"
Tai Hina: "Don't drink it, the tea is poisonous."
"……All right."
Yu Cangyi shrugged.
Really not shy about it.
Poisoning her so blatantly? However, judging from Tai Hina's expression, I'm afraid this poison won't have any effect on her.
He looked at Madam Yu. Her act of poisoning had been exposed, but her expression remained calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Yu Cang now really admires her.
Even with the myth riding on his face, he can still be so leisurely.
"I didn't let Feng try to kill you." Yu Cang smiled. "After all, killing you with one knife is a bit too easy for you."
He knew what Yu Wanqing was referring to.
Feng's [Name Slash], as long as he declares a name, he can make a sure-hit slash regardless of distance, and then, make another slash.
Given the difference in strength between Feng and Madam Yu, there was no chance that Madam Yu would be able to take the blow.
In other words, after obtaining the soul card of the Saint of the Lost Village, Yu Cang had the ability to kill Madam Yu at any time.
But Yu Cang didn't do that.
This move first appeared in Tianmen to deal with Jie Ting. The Desolate Sect also participated in this mission, so Yu Cang was not sure whether Madam Yu knew about the existence of [Zhan Ming].
Logically speaking, although he was sure that Madam Yu could not take the blow, he could not guarantee that he could kill her - after all, she was a card banner, and it was possible that she had some uncanny self-preservation ability.
If Madam Yu was too far away, then a single strike would only reveal her current position, but wouldn't do any damage. It wouldn't be very meaningful.
Admittedly, Yu Cang can relieve his boredom with a knife from time to time.
But after considering for a long time, he decided to save this knife for the critical moment.
And now it sounded like... Madam Yu had even given up her own name? Doesn't that mean he had completely missed the chance to strike Madam Yu down?
hateful.
Tai Hina: "So that's why you gave up your name?"
There was a hint of disappointment in her tone.
She only had two recognized disciples, but now she saw one of them voluntarily give up the path to becoming a god.
This is really...
Hearing this, Madam Yu chuckled again and said, "I thought that the teacher wouldn't care about the feelings of a dying person like me."
“…”
A dying person.
Did he realize his murderous intent?
No, based on her understanding of herself, she should have known about this kind of thing long ago without even noticing it on the spot.
Then why... do you dare to appear here?
"Indeed, that's not the only reason." Madam Yu took a sip of tea. "First of all, I want to thank Yu Cang for his kindness in not being too harsh on a woman like me."
Yu Cang: "You deserve better."
"...Thank you." Madam Yu nodded. "Secondly...if I hadn't erased the names, I would have gone mad the moment I came into contact with those beings."
"Hmm?" Tai Hyun's expression changed slightly.
Which ones exist?
What kind of existence can only be touched by giving up its name?
For a moment, Tai Hina seemed to have a premonition in her heart. A thought flashed across her eyes, but she was unable to connect this premonition with anything specific for a while.
Since she had this feeling, then she must have definitely seen the premonition that Mrs. Yu mentioned.
What is...
At this moment, Mrs. Yu gently placed the teacup on the table.
She turned her head and looked at Tai Hina: "Teacher...you have seen my work, right?"
Tai Hina gently rubbed the teacup in her hand with her knuckles without looking up.
"Li Anjiu is okay, but unfortunately he's still a work in progress. As for Qi'er... Yu Cang has revised it better than you."
Although Mrs. Yu didn't say it explicitly, Tai Chu knew what she meant.
After all, only those two works were worthy of Tai Hina's attention.
Even if Tai Hyun had seen other works on the road, he would not remember them.
Upon hearing this, Madam Yu smiled softly, then sighed, "I'm outshined by my own teacher... But, after all, he's the child of an old friend, so there's nothing wrong with that."
Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So, what's the other one?"
"Anything else?" Tai Hina regained consciousness. "Don't mention the works that are such failures."
"Of course I won't tarnish your eyes... Think again, teacher?"
"Oh?" Taichu's expression changed.
besides?
Is there anything I've overlooked? But if it's a stunning piece, I shouldn't be completely unimpressed.
Thinking of this, Tai Chu raised his head and looked at the sky for some unknown reason.
There is the location of the Buddha's kingdom.
However, Taichu's gaze did not fall on it, but passed through it and looked deeper and farther.
Suddenly, she smiled.
"...I was like, how could you sit here defenseless? That's not like you."
Based on her understanding of Mrs. Yu, this woman would never risk her life to do something meaningless.
Risk should be proportional to the reward.
In this case...the apprentice has made a satisfactory work, so how can the master not take a good look at it.
"You've figured it out." Madam Yu's smile seemed to grow even wider. "Teacher, you haven't changed. You still pursue perfection like this... Teacher, you should have killed me the moment you saw me."
"Interesting… Are you teaching me?"
Yes, Tai Hin always pursues perfection in everything he does.
So, after discovering Mrs. Yu, she never took action.
Because she didn't see Mrs. Yu's trump card.
Ever since this bloody world opened up, Tai Chu's sword intent had been continuously calculating the surrounding area. She was trying to find out the trump card that supported Madam Yu to stand here.
But, nothing was found.
Therefore, Tai Chu did not take action - it just so happened that she also wanted to chat with this apprentice whom she had not seen for a long time.
She has always known that the pursuit of perfection is her weakness.
When he was in the imperial capital, Feng was able to use an imperfect sword technique to circumvent Tai Yan's sword intent.
However, she would not change her style just to cover up a small weakness.
Besides, this can't actually be called a weakness...it's just that now, it has been taken advantage of by Madam Yu.
Now, Tai Chu has already understood that Yu Wanqing has two trump cards.
One card represents her understanding of herself - she knows that she will not kill or take any action before she has figured out everything.
The second one—she had indeed seen it.
"Evil God."
Tai Hina also put down her teacup.
"The method to summon the evil god was created by you - but I don't understand why the evil god's gaze has no effect on me. You still can't survive."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yu suddenly laughed softly.
She stood up gently and took a long breath.
"Teacher... who in this world would dare to stand before you like this without being prepared for certain death? As for your question—let me answer it!"
Buzz!
In the blood-colored world, countless stars suddenly bloomed from the pool nearby!
There is no starry sky in the longevity tent. When the Buddha's kingdom is extinguished, it becomes night, and the night is filled with silence.
Not to mention, in Taichu's territory, there are two worlds between them, making it even more impossible to see the starry sky.
But now, in front of him, a bright star was reflected in the pool in front of the imperial mausoleum!
Yu Cang's expression changed.
Are you going to summon the evil god?
"Lou Yan, don't resist!"
"Oh...Okay!"
With a raise of his hand, he brought Lou Yan into the place where the sedan chair was lowered.
He and Tai Chu are still okay, but an ordinary person like Lou Yan who hasn't even awakened his soul energy well, if he is stared at by the evil god, he will probably be deformed and die in madness!
Taichu raised her brows slightly and raised a finger, but Madam Yu spoke first:
"Teacher, it's useless. The evil god has already arrived here, and you can't stop him!"
"...Then how are you going to win?"
"Win... hehe." Madam Yu opened her hands and took a deep breath, "I have to thank Yu Cang for this..."
Yu Cang: "...Me?"
“Your creations…are truly delicious.”
It was only then that Yu Cang discovered that a thick shadow had appeared under Madam Yu's feet.
"—I use my body as material, and layer the forbidden stars on top of my flesh and blood!"
