Strange Cards

Chapter 358 I failed to protect the young lady

"What did you say?"

While deflecting Joker's attack with a single slash, Shigure asked in a deep voice.

A was silent for a moment, then spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"Before that great battle, all the strange cards were at their full power."

"I used the Spade type to severely injure both Jokers, although the price was that I was scattered and my power was much weaker than before."

"But it still poses a threat to the Joker."

"They were afraid that once I recovered, I would bring all four elements together to cause trouble, so they chose to strip half the power of each of the Mysterious Cards. Each of the two Jokers now possesses half the power of the twenty-six Mysterious Cards."

"If you can take back half of the spade power from him."

"If it's just him alone, I will definitely not lose to him."

"He used the spade-type power within him to counteract the power in your body, so the two of you were essentially engaged in pure hand-to-hand combat."

"But even if you inherited the years of Shura's life, it's still far less than his. The demonic power he accumulated has already increased several levels above yours. If it weren't for Shura's power supporting you, you would have lost long ago."

"But this also gives you an opportunity. Because he used half of the spade-type power within him, he can no longer use other abilities. He is just as vulnerable as you are now."

"Whoever shows signs of fatigue first loses."

Upon hearing A speak, Shigure immediately put away the Mortal Blade and began a brutal, hand-to-hand combat with Joker.

Since neither of them could do anything to the other, they decided to see whose fist was harder.

Both of their attacks were aimed at vital points; you hit my head, I punched your heart.

The two attacked each other frantically, and because their attacks were of similar intensity, they both fell to the ground after exchanging a punch.

"Damn it!"

Shigure struggled to her feet, and then she suddenly noticed that A had regained her strength and was rushing towards Baiyu.

"Die!"

"Steel Claws!"

At this moment, the steel claws that had been holding back for half a day finally burst out, and the rules of annihilation on the claws went straight for Joker.

"Damn it!!!"

"You humans deserve to die!!!"

Joker roared, breaking through the rules of the steel claws, and charged towards them.

The Nightmare Peak Rule Demon King Steel Claw was beaten like a grandson, completely powerless to fight back.

Shigure fell to the ground and used the knife to forcefully prop himself up.

"Nine Shadows..."

Shigure struggled to stay upright, and just as he was about to summon the Nine Shadows, he discovered that the demonic power within him had been completely depleted.

They simply can't be summoned.

"I was the one who brought you out."

"I told you to learn from humans, why did you betray me?"

As Joker spoke, he threw the badly injured Steel Claw down from the sky.

Shiyu forced herself to walk over, but her body was so weak that she could no longer move.

Steel Claw looked at Shigure lying on the ground, and using its broken claws, crawled towards Shigure.

"Lord...Lord."

"I'm useless..."

"We failed to protect the young lady."

After Steel Claw finished speaking, he completely fainted, and his breath began to slowly dissipate.

"don't want!"

Shiyu braced herself and rushed over, retracting the steel claw into her body at the last moment before its aura dissipated.

Joker defeated Bai Yu in one move, then removed Bai Yu's residual fire state and threw the Evolution Device and the Strange Card on the ground.

"This girl must be quite important to you."

"What would happen if I killed him in front of you?"

Just as Joker was about to make his move, he suddenly sensed a familiar yet repulsive aura emanating from near Nanhai Mountain. He snorted coldly and then vanished.

Shiyu looked at the evolution device hanging there, gritted her teeth, and crawled towards it.

"I want to get that card."

"There is still power in that card."

"Find the power to save Bai Yu."

Shigure crawled slowly, then fainted from exhaustion, and her life force began to dissipate.

This is precisely a manifestation of over-driving the power of cards.

At this moment, Gu Nian and Chun Shanshan arrived, and Chun looked at Shi Yu who had fainted on the ground and said.

"Boss..."

"he..."

Gu Nian went over and, seeing the gradually weakening aura within Shi Yu's body, poured his own power into it, stabilizing the aura within Shi Yu's body.

"It's okay, I just got seriously injured in a fight with the Joker."

"The fluctuation in his life force is because he is not proficient in using the thirteen cards."

"I used my own strength to stabilize his breathing; he will wake up soon."

At this moment, Gu Nian sensed something and patted Chun on the shoulder.

"Let's go, the hunters are here."

Chun looked at Shigure, who had fainted on the ground, and said with a sour tone.

"Boss."

"Is it really impossible to change the ending of the script?"

Gu Nian looked at Chun and naturally knew what she was thinking.

"We've already gone through so many scripts."

"Don't you understand?"

"I used the Joker's prophetic abilities to create scripts, and the ending of each script is the inevitable fact that will happen."

"At most, we can only make minor changes to the script, but the ending is already predetermined."

"Nothing can be changed."

"The future is already set."

"..."

Chun paused for a moment, then put her hand on Gu Nian's shoulder and said.

"I think I understand."

"Boss, let's go."

Gu Nian nodded, and then the two of them turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared on the top of the South China Sea Mountain.

Qi Wu and Guan Yun, who were wearing the Remnant Fire mechs, were a step too late. Although Shi Yu had fainted on the ground, her breathing had already stabilized.

Da Niu and Yu Yan, who were in the Hunter God mechs, were just about to come to support Shi Yu when the battle was over.

"Boss, I saw that kid."

Guan Yu rushed over as she spoke, looking at Shi Yu lying on the ground and the remnant fire evolution device not far from Shi Yu.

"Wait, is this Bai Yu's Remnant Flame Evolution Device?"

"The Hunter Cards are all in there, but where's the White Rain Man?"

After Guan Yun said those words, a sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart. He exchanged a glance with Qi Wu, and they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Qi Wu carried Shi Yu on his back and looked at Guan Yun.

"Xiao Guanyun, search the area and bring back that Remnant Fire Evolution Device."

"It would be best if we could find Bai Yu, but if we can't, we should come back first."

"We'll search twice at most and then leave. We can't withstand that guy if he comes back for a surprise attack."

"I've already left the mother in the infirmary; I'm taking the baby home first."
