The night wind slowly blew.
Gu Qing Shan hovered in the sky and looked down.
The girl was looking up at him.
Their eyes met.
Gu Qing Shan's eyes were calm.
But the girl's eyes showed an inexplicable sense of worry.
Seeing that [Unbreakable Mountain Range], the Demon Scorpion Empress stopped and slowly spoke: "This technique does have some history, but it seems like this person's martial arts foundation isn't solid enough to exert the full power of the technique …"
"Big sis Demon Scorpion, help me catch him!" the girl hurriedly called out.
"Got it"
The Demon Scorpion Empress wielded her shield in one hand and the [True Crimson Demon Spear] in the other as she leapt into the sky.
The girl's hands continued to draw cards from the void of space, quickly filling both hands with cards.
When she was about to draw again — —
An autumn glint that carried a bone-chilling coldness appeared from behind her and lightly touched her neck.
The sword was cold as ice.
Gu Qing Shan was already standing behind her with her sword.
"You — –" the girl was surprised.
Gu Qing Shan lightly pressed her sword down.
The girl stopped talking.
She suddenly started crying.
"You want to kill me?"
The girl sobbed and asked.
"No, I'm just curious" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Thanks to the unique realm of Tribulation realm, whenever he was about to die, he would always feel something — — this was the unique spirit sense granted to him by the karmic adversity.
But during the fight just now, he didn't sense any karmic adversity at all.
Combined with the girl's words and actions, even though she had so many powerful cards, she didn't hold any killing intent towards me.
Whether it was the [Weapon Imprisonment], the Dark Elf Battle Dolls, the Demon Scorpion Empress' summoning, or even the [True Crimson Demon Spear], any one of them was extremely powerful.
— — -she kept saying that she wanted something from me.
I'm a penniless pauper, what kind of thing could she possibly want?
"Dismiss all your cards, we'll talk" Gu Qing Shan said.
The girl did as she was told.
All the cards and summoned creatures dissipated in an instant.
Only the Demon Scorpion Empress didn't leave right away.
She descended from the sky and stood on the desert, silently watching the scene in front of her.
"Don't worry, my contract with the cards has ended, I'm just a bit curious so I decided to stay and watch" she smiled and said.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.
Such a powerful existence didn't even try his best from the start.
It was said that the summoned creature and the Card Master's mind were connected and would fight according to the Card Master's thoughts.
The Demon Scorpion Empress' lackadaisical attitude in battle was most likely because she didn't have a strong will to fight.
Gu Qing Shan ignored her and asked the girl, "You noticed me from the beginning, so you specifically invited me to join your team?"
"Yes," the girl replied obediently.
"You wanted to rob me a long time ago?"
"Yes."
"But I don't have much money. Why would you choose someone like me to rob?"
"I'm not trying to steal your money," the girl hurriedly said.
"What do you want then?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The girl lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly. Sparkling tears continuously fell on the desert along with the wind.
Everything was over. It wasn't easy for him to come out, and he was lucky enough to encounter a glimmer of hope, but in the end, it was still a hopeless ending.
The girl said dejectedly, "I just … want that card on you."
Cards?
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
He took out a card.
On the scarlet card was a monster that was as tall as a mountain. It had vertical pupils and a pair of gray wings.
Behind the monster was an uncountable sea of monsters.
They were neatly standing in a square formation, wielding weapons in their hands while exuding a sense of killing intent.
War Card: [Blood Sea God Army]
As Gu Qing Shan held this card, lines of glowing text appeared in front of his eyes.
[War Card: [Blood Sea God Army]
[You have this card]
[Due to some reason, [Blood Sea God Army] voluntarily formed a covenant with you, obeying your summons and commands]
— — back in Aboul, Su Cher took the [Predictor of Fate] card from Gu Qing Shan's hand and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
Su Cher said that she was using this card as collateral for taking the [Predictor of Fate] card.
In truth, as soon as Gu Qing Shan received this card, she had already passively formed a covenant with [Blood Sea God Army].
This was Su Cher's way of protecting Gu Qing Shan.
She was afraid that if she wasn't here, Gu Qing Shan would still be in danger, so she gave this strongest card she had to Gu Qing Shan and forcefully helped him form a covenant with the Blood Sea.
"Is this the card you want?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Ah, it is!"
The girl's eyes glowed as she stared at the Blood Sea Card, completely forgetting that there was a sword on her neck.
"What do you want this for?"
"To tell you the truth, I actually snuck out"
"Hm?"
The girl said dejectedly, "I'm imprisoned by an extremely powerful person. He's trying to make me submit to him and become his slave. However, due to some restrictions, he won't be able to do so in a short period of time. Similarly, I can't break free from the various shackles he's placed on me."
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "You have so many powerful cards — — I can tell that you have even more powerful cards that you haven't used yet, can't you defeat that person?"
"Hah, while I was sleeping, he used several of his most powerful Card Laws to restrain me, so if I attack him, all of my abilities would immediately become useless"
"This card in my hand can help you escape from your shackles?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The girl looked at Gu Qing Shan with a pleading expression: "That's right, among the countless card series, the Blood Sea is a unique card series. As long as I have the Blood Sea deck, I'll be able to summon the power of the Blood Sea to fight against him — — that way, I'll be able to escape the restraints of his cards and survive"
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, he suddenly realized something.
This matter was too shocking, so much so that even his expression changed.
He exclaimed in shock: "Wait a minute — — if that's the case, then you're actually a card?"
Seeing how absent-minded Gu Qing Shan was, the girl proudly raised her chin: "That's right, I'm originally a Card that had only just awoken after countless years of slumber. Otherwise, why do you think I allowed him to place so many restrictions on my body?"
Gu Qing Shan rubbed his forehead and forced himself to calm down.
As soon as he arrived at the town, he was led out of the door by a card. He was even robbed by the other party in a blatant manner …
No, that's not important.
The important thing is — — -
"Don't you know that other than robbing someone, there is a more peaceful way to obtain something from them?" he asked.
"You mean that kind of transaction?"
"Yes, that kind of transaction"
The girl glanced at him begrudgingly, lowered her head, and muttered: "I'm not the kind of card you think I am"
Gu Qing Shan was stunned for a while before he understood what she meant.
He then shouted: "What kind of card you think I am!? What are you thinking!? "
"You're clearly talking about that kind of thing, you look like you're a gentleman, but you're actually full of bad ideas!" the girl retorted.
Gu Qing Shan was deeply hit by this.
He tried his best to control his emotions to avoid accidentally cutting his sword.
He breathed in, breathed out, breathed in, breathed out again, and finally calmed himself down.
"The transaction I'm talking about is a fair exchange of what we both want" he finally said.
"Ah? Is that what you mean? "
The girl was stunned, then took out a book from behind her and flipped through it, then said in surprise: "I'm sorry, I read a few more words, so it really is a simple transaction like you said"
"Then, I want the card in your hand, what do you want from me?" the girl asked.
Gu Qing Shan slowly said: "I want you — — -"
The girl clutched her chest: "You pervert"
"I'm not done yet!"
"Those few words are enough for me to guess your true thoughts!" the girl glared at him.
The veins on Gu Qing Shan's arms were bulging, almost unable to stop himself from swinging his sword.
"I want you to help me heal someone, but I don't know if you have the ability to heal wounds" he said everything in one breath.
"Ah? Is that so? "the girl was a bit surprised, then replied.
"That's right, what do you think it is!?" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Demon Scorpion Empress couldn't help but chuckle and muttered: "Not a wasted trip …"
The girl replied: "I have a lot of healing cards that can heal any kind of wounds, there's no problem"
"What if it's a wound that not even the Divinities can heal?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"If that's the case, I'll have to take a look myself, I can't guarantee anything" the girl answered seriously.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Since she's being so serious, it's worth trusting her a bit.
— — -if the girl was boasting, he wouldn't believe her.
Suddenly, the girl's expression changed: "Oh no, he's trying to take me back!"
Black chains with thorns appeared on her body and tightly bound her.
"This is what's restraining you?" Gu Qing Shan looked at the chains and asked.
"That's right, hah, I can't make a deal with you anymore" the girl sorrowfully replied.
The black chains took her to the sky, about to fly towards a certain direction.
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a split second.
Yun Ji's life is in danger — — -
If I miss this chance, I'll have to spend a lot of time and effort to earn money, and I might not even be able to find the correct cure.
I don't even know if I'll be able to make it in time.
Gu Qing Shan's gaze became sharp.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword suddenly flew up.
Streaks of starlight shot out from the sword, like meteors streaking across the sky, slashing at the girl's body.
Sha sha sha sha sha!
Secret Art, [Silver Star]
The blinding starlight turned into thin lines that coincidentally struck the intersection point of the chains that bound the girl, cutting them in half.
[Law Breaker]!
The spiked black chains scattered with a loud rumble, falling down and disappearing.
The sword flashed and returned to Gu Qing Shan's side.
The girl appeared happy, but quickly became fearful.
She shouted at Gu Qing Shan from the sky: "He'll definitely come, we need to run away now!"
Gu Qing Shan's figure flashed and caught her in his arms.
"If you don't want to be captured, turn into a card right now!"
He curtly said.
The girl was very obedient this time and turned into a card.
Gu Qing Shan put the card into his Inventory Bag.
He expanded his inner sight to its maximum range and activated [Ground Shrink]!
In a split second, he disappeared from the sky and reappeared at the edge of the inner sight's range a few hundred miles away.
Gu Qing Shan didn't dare to stop, nor did he care about his spirit energy consumption, so he activated [Ground Shrink] again!
In just a few breaths' worth of time, he was already far away from where he was.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Where the two of them originally fought.
