Divine Card Creator-Chapter 422 - Low-key Title x 2

Deep in the suburbs.

A murderous intent emerged from the dark night.

Lu Ming locked onto the elder and chased him. He did not let down his guard.

Although this old man had been stabbed and injured, he was still a dignified six-star cultivator. It was impossible that he was not prepared! Especially since this was his territory.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Cold lights flashed.

Two figures traversed the cave.

Suddenly…

Lu Ming paused in his tracks.

Beneath his feet where the elder had just passed, there were some messily scattered rocks arranged in a familiar pattern.

This thing…

Lu Ming took out his communication device and scanned it.

“Dee—

“Scanning.

“Dee—

“Automatic image recognition is completed. There are 2,570 matches (0.5 seconds used).”

Shush!

A large number of pictures that resembled the pattern of these rocks appeared before his eyes. Well… 90% of the pictures were found in the Array Master forums!

This was an array.

The Sleeping Spirit Array.

It did not have any lethality. Its only function was to make one’s body, consciousness and Sea of Consciousness fall into a deep sleep and then lose their vigilance.

It was a form of invisible killing!

The strength of this array lay in its concealing nature!

Of course.

Its weakness was also very obvious…

“Haha!

“Die!

“Activate, Sleeping Spirit Array!”

The elder’s voice could suddenly be heard. There was a sudden outburst of lights from the scattered rocks beneath Lu Ming’s feet and a trace of magic power was spreading. Feelings of drowsiness attacked Lu Ming.

“Go to sleep~

“Sleep!”

The elder laughed hysterically.

However…

To the elder’s shock and dismay, Lu Ming looked calm and his eyes were shining brightly.

“Sleep…

“Sleep?”

The elder was slightly puzzled.

With disbelief, he looked at the Sleeping Spirit Array which he had already activated and then at the bored-looking Lu Ming in front of him. The latter was staring at him as if he was an idiot.

“You…

“How is it possible that you are alright?”

The elder was stunned.

“Why do you think?”

Lu Ming flung his right hand gently.

Buzz—

The array beneath his feet melted down quietly.

That was right!

Meltdown Card!

It had been a long time and no one remembered that Lu Ming was once a restriction expert who was adept at cracking arrays and restrictions!

Sleeping Spirit Array?

That was a joke to him!

The elder thought that he could ‘charm’ Lu Ming but his energy could not increase under the effect of the Meltdown Card! It was very weak and powerless!

As for the effect…

Hehe.

Do you think we are Mathematics teachers?

Crash!

Lu Ming kicked the elder.

Caught off guard, the elder was sent flying out on the spot.

Pfft!

Fresh blood spurted from him.

The elder glared at Lu Ming.

He kidnapped a hostage… and was ambushed!!! He set up the Sleeping Spirit Array… and was ambushed!!! The two confrontations that he had had with Lu Ming were total fiascoes!!

Damn it!

If he had known that this was the case, he might as well have fought him head-on!

The elder had an ugly expression.

He appeared as though he looked down on Lu Ming but in actual fact, he was very vigilant. He had investigated all the information about Lu Ming as well as his combat achievements!

He was very concerned about some combat achievements in particular.

For example…

He had beaten Yan Suya before!

Although the battle was under restricted conditions, it was enough to make him more wary! This was because only peak six-stars like them knew how terrifying Yan Suya was!

Therefore, he did not want to fight Lu Ming head-on.

As such…

He set up various traps and intended to weaken Lu Ming before fighting with him! Unexpectedly, he was the one injured during the past two confrontations!

He had suffered a huge loss!

Fortunately…

These were not all that he had prepared.

Hence…

His figure floated and he escaped into the cave at a faster speed.

Come on…

Hehe…

Lu Ming.

I’ll show you what I have prepared for you…

The elder sneered.

However…

To his surprise, he did not hear Lu Ming’s movements after a few seconds. He instinctively turned around and was instantly dumbstruck.

Lu Ming… had actually gone in the other direction.

It was true.

Seeing the old man dashing into the cave, Lu Ming actually turned around and left!!!

The old man had a dumbstruck expression.

Wait a minute. Didn’t Lu Ming come because of the Sky Water Sword?! Clearly, he was already severely wounded. Why wasn’t Lu Ming chasing him?!

Was he tricking him again?

Was he trying to trick him into going back?

However…

After that moment of distraction, the old man realized that Lu Ming had already run out of the cave.

He had fled!

The old man could not come to his senses for a long time.

Oh no!

It must be because of the Sleeping Spirit Array. Lu Ming simply escaped as he realized that something was amiss! He no longer intended to seize the Sky Water Sword spirit!

Damn it!

The elder’s expression changed drastically.

He knew that…

If he were to allow Lu Ming to escape, Lu Ming would become very wary of him and might not come out again! He would not have any hopes of seizing the Art of Equalization then!

His hopes to attain a seven-star breakthrough… would be gone!

No!

No way!

The elder was furious.

Bang!

The powers in his body burst into flames.

Whoosh!

Blood spurted.

The old man also dashed out of the cave and chased Lu Ming.

Clearly, he was injured earlier and looked like he could not make it anymore. Nevertheless, he unleashed an unimaginable skill and hunted Lu Ming down at lightning speed!

Whoosh!

There was another flash of blood.

…

At the entrance of the cave.

Above the aggressive flames of the bonfire, the dangled lady could sense the powers from the cave. She felt excited instantly.

“President!

“Save…”

Whoosh!

The surge of powers swept across her body.

The lady was speechless.

Very soon…

There was another surge of powers.

“Old man!

“I…”

Whoosh!

That surge of powers swept across her body again.

The lady was speechless.

The ground… resumed its silence.

After a long while…

“President?

“Old man?”

The lady was teary-eyed.

“Save…

“Save me!”

Clearly, this was something that could be done in passing!

“Oo… Oo…

“I-I’m the hostage… Waaah… President, I was wrong. I won’t be a spy anymore… Save me… I’m being barbecued…

“I-I won’t ‘rear’ substitutes anymore.

“I-I won’t say ‘haha’ again…

“I won’t call them simps again… Waaaah…

“Save me…”

…

Deep in the suburbs.

Whoosh!

Cold lights flashed.

Lu Ming’s figure flashed in the dark night.

A trace of a smile emerged on his face when he sensed the figure chasing him.

True enough.

This elder would not give up on this opportunity!

Although he did not know the elder’s combat ability, through Xiao-Xiaojian, he knew the motive and thoughts of this elder like the back of his hand!

The elder had set up his battleground in the cave.

However… Lu Ming refused to cooperate!

Bang!

Bang!

The void shook.

The elder’s speed was extremely fast. His peak six-star combat ability went into full force. Within a short time span of two minutes, he had already caught up with and stopped Lu Ming.

In the wilderness.

In the dark and windy night.

Bang!

A cold and chilling sword gleam blocked Lu Ming’s way.

The elder had been tricked a few times and was completely enraged now. He did not want to play games anymore. He intended to kill Lu Ming on the spot!

“This time…

“I won’t give you a chance to escape!” the elder said coldly.

Bang!

Lights and shadow flashed.

The skin on the elder’s body shook. The injuries from Lu Ming’s attack were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. His combat ability was also increasing continuously.

It was no wonder that he continued trying fool Lu Ming into entering the cave although he was severely wounded.

True enough, he was long prepared!

“It’s coming.”

Lu Ming looked grave.

His toying with the elder earlier was to negotiate a battleground!

Since he had decided to seize the Sky Water Sword and rescue Xiao-Xiaojian, he had to fight this battle! He had to defeat the elder!

As for a battle in the Sea of Consciousness…

He reckoned that that was impossible!

Lu Ming did not think that the elder would be that dumb.

Although Xiao-Xiaojian had told the elder that he could easily attain the Art of Equalization if he entered Lu Ming’s Sea of Consciousness, the elder did not believe Xiao-Xiaojian’s words.

He prepared items such as the Sleeping Spirit Array and intended to enter Lu Ming’s Sea of Consciousness after the latter became unconscious!

Obviously, this person was extremely vigilant.

Bang!

The elder’s aura was still intensifying.

“Peak six-star…”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

Was this the combat ability of a peak six-star?

In the past, he fought with Yan Suya in a unique setting. Whether he won or lost, it was not considered a true battle. However, now, this was a real duel!

Lu Ming vs. a six-star Swordsman!

Shush!

The elder’s gaze locked onto Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was too cunning and evil. He did not intend to waste his time further.

Therefore, he unleashed his most powerful move. This was also a swordplay that he had learned at a legacy site!

“Miracle Landing Swordplay!”

The elder’s expression was grave and serious.

Bang!

A surge of power penetrated the sky.

The Sky Water Sword was standing in front of the elder and a beam of bright radiance penetrated the sky and ground. It was very shocking. The powers surrounding the elder were so intense that they could strike fear in anyone’s heart.

It was true.

This was the power of a peak six-star!

And this elder…

He had once attained the Sky Water Sword and gone through countless fortuitous encounters. Perhaps heaven was compensating him for his lack of talent. He had had many blessings and opportunities!

Therefore…

He knew such a powerful move.

However, Lu Ming had a very strange expression.

Well, everyone knew that Swordsmens’ attacks were straightforward and they were particular about being fast, accurate and ruthless! There were also some Swordsmen who chose a different path from the rest. That was an accumulation of power!

It was to accumulate powers, have an outburst and then explode!

That kind of Swordsman combat ability was very terrifying.

If one had to describe it… Have you played Mulan before?

Of course, Mulan here does not refer to a person but a character in the game Honor of Kings.

→_→

Since ancient times, the Swordsman vocation had many sects and the one in front of Lu Ming belonged to the very rare kind. He was a Swordsman that could erupt his powers after accumulating them!

His attacking ability was horrifying!

Weaknesses…

Uh…

Should I try it?

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he gingerly threw out the Interruption Card.

Hence…

Right when the elderly senior Swordsman in front of Lu Ming was condensing powerful forces that could penetrate the sky and ground and then kill Lu Ming instantly, his movements suddenly stopped for 0.08 seconds.

It was very short.

It was very weak.

However…

Even though it was such a short moment, he could not cast the powers that he had condensed to their ultimate limit in time…

Bang!

A blue mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

There was an outburst of terrifying powers from the elder’s body.

Lu Ming could clearly see the blue energy, which was condensed to its limit, spurting out from all the possible gaps in the elder’s body…

Ears.

Nostrils.

Mouth.

And other places…

→_→

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Blue lights shot everywhere.

Damn!

Lu Ming was stunned.

He knew that the Interruption Card would have a special effect under some unique circumstances. However, he did not expect its prowess to be that shocking when it faced a Swordsman Card who accumulated powers!

It turned a peak six-star into that!

It was very terrifying.

The elder was completely baffled.

Obviously…

Unexpectedly, Lu mIng had such a powerful trump card. He had learned this move from the legacy site but it had failed at the most critical moment!

Of course, he was not an ordinary man.

After just half a second, he forced himself to calm down.

“Do you know which clan I come from?”

The old man wore a cold and aloof expression.

“Hmm…”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and looked at his current appearance. “Avatar?”

The elder was speechless.

What the hell is that clan?

“I’m from the North Tayunma Clan.”

The elder said coldly, “Do you know what the most powerful skill of my clan is?”

“Uh…”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment. “Getting extra points during the college entrance examination?”

A murderous intent flashed across the elder’s face.

His clan had once engaged in battles all over the world. They were famous for their strong physique. Unexpectedly, not many people in this era remembered them.

Well…

“Remember!

“Our clan’s most powerful characteristic is our ultrastrong physique! Although the casting of my swordplay failed, our bodies don’t suffer from the slightest bit of harm!” the elder yelled furiously.

Bang!

Lights and shadows circulated.

He raised the Sky Water Sword in his hands again.

“Miracle Landing Swordplay!”

Bang!

Lights and shadow traversed.

The power in the elder’s hands condensed to its limit. He was certain that this was the most perfect move that he had made in his life!

Hence…

He aimed at Lu Ming again.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

He suddenly lost control of the powers that he was about to release.

Pfft!

There was a sudden outburst of the blue powers from his body and they shot out from every orifice. Terrifying powers exploded outwards.

The elder was speechless.

How is this… possible?!

The elder was in disbelief.

The Miracle Landing Sword was his trump card. He had slayed countless people with this move. Unexpectedly, he failed twice!!!

His entire body trembled at the powers surging out from his body.

Both his eyes were about to burst.

His eye sockets… seemed to have been enlarged.

That surge of powers was too terrifying and it gushed out at lighting speed. Although it did not cause him a lot of harm, it left him in unbearable pain.

Especially, somewhere…

“There is a problem!”

The elder was not a fool.

Of course, he did not believe he would fail easily at casting a swordplay that he had long mastered. In particular, the two failures occurred in front of Lu Ming!

“Is it because of you?”

The elder’s gaze was cold and icy.

Lu Ming…

He was indeed a devil!

“It seems that I have underestimated you.”

The elder shut his eyes.

In front of him…

Lu Ming had a very strange expression.

After two failures, the eyes of this elder had become bigger and bigger…

There was no other choice.

They were popping out.

He had just saved him the surgical expense of canthoplasty.

“I don’t know why I failed earlier.

“However…

“If you think that you can achieve victory like this, you are too naive.

“I have reached this stage and have mastered thousands of swordplays. Now, I’ll show you what a true six-star swordplay is!”

The elder’s expression was grave and serious.

Bang!

Lights flashed.

The elder condensed powerful forces again.

Of course.

He made another move this time.

“Galaxy Sword Ocean…”

The sword gleam in his hands surged, dancing and wielding a beautiful galaxy in the sky. It streaked across the sky and formed a perfect arc, speeding toward Lu Ming.

It was very beautiful.

Lu Ming had heard of that move before.

Dancing with the sword, condensing powers!

However…

It was a pity that this powerful swordplay exploded in the sky before it could approach Lu Ming…

Pfft!

Blue energy spurted from the elder.

“I don’t believe this!”

The elder was enraged. He cast the second move without any hesitation. “Two Form Metamorphosis…”

Pfft!

Blue energy spurted outwards randomly.

“Four Symbols Reincarnation…”

Pfft!

Blue energy spurted again.

“Five Direction Travel…”

Pfft!

Blue energy spurted again.

“Return of the Thousand Swords…”

Pfft!

Blue energy spurted again.

The elder had transformed into a blue sprinkling can, hydrating every inch of the land in the suburbs.

Lu Ming was amazed.

This was the first time that he witnessed the process of an elder’s transformation from Avatar to Smurf and then to a sprinkling can…

And all he did was throw out a few Interruption Cards.

It was true.

0.08 seconds was enough.

He had estimated before that his Interruption Card would have no effect on peak six-star Elementalists. This was because the Elementalist’s abilities were typically very stable!

An interruption time of 0.08 seconds was not enough to collapse an Elementalist’s ability.

However…

Never did Lu Ming imagine that the Interruption Card was also useful on swordplays that required accumulation of power! A mere 0.08 seconds of interruption time was enough to make them kneel and call him father…

Pfft!

Blue energy spurted outwards.

The elder finally fell to the ground.

“I feel indignant!”

The elder was confused.

He was a peak six-star!

He had a powerful swordplay standard!

He was only a step away from seven-star!

As long as he could defeat and capture Lu Ming, he would be able to attain The Art of Equalization and therefore his last hope of reaching seven-star!

How could I lose like that?!

That was very humiliating!

Lu Ming…

He is indeed a devil!

Shush!

Cold beams of lights streaked across the place.

The cards in Lu Ming’s hands were already aiming at his neck.

“Don’t kill me.

“Don’t kill me.”

Shivering, the elder knelt on the ground. “I know of a place that has a legacy site… There are countless swordplays and precious treasures there… That place…”

He approached Lu Ming gradually.

Shush!

He suddenly raised his head.

His enlarged and enormous eyes were shining brightly.

Bang!

A gush of strange aura was spreading.

The two people’s Sea of Consciousnesses seemed to be harmonizing and at that moment, a trace of light rushed out and dashed into Lu Ming’s Sea of Consciousness.

Buzz—

The Sea of Consciousness was shaking.

Lu Ming and the elder appeared there.

Lu Ming: Beginner five-star.

Elder: Peak six-star.

It was true.

Regardless of how powerful one’s combat ability was, when everyone was in the Sea of Consciousness, only the cultivation level was counted!

Because this was the Sea of Consciousness!

The elder learned this secret skill of entering the Sea of Consciousness in this way from a certain legacy!

This was also one of his preparations!

Over the dozens of years.

Countless people who had underestimated him had already died!

“Hahaha.

“You finally allowed me inside!”

The elder laughed hysterically. “I don’t know what secret skill you used to block my swordplay but it is alright as long as I attain the Art of Equalization…”

Shush!

His gaze swept across the Sea of Consciousness and landed on the center of it.

Over there, true enough, there was a cat sleeping soundly.

The sword spirit of the Sky Water Sword had not been wrong.

“Seven-star!

“I am coming!”

Hence, he walked to the front of the black cat domineeringly and smiled grimly. “Damned eunuch cat, tell me what exactly is the Art of Equalization?”

Shush!

The sleeping black cat suddenly opened its eyes.

Its murderous intent was obvious!

“You are…”

The elder glanced at the black cat once and had goosebumps all over him. It was as if he had fallen into a hole. The golden pupils of the black cat and its profile reminded him of a certain legend…

It was something that he had seen in the ancient books collection!

…
