Strange Cards

Chapter 390: Tracing the Timeline

Shi Yu looked at the three heart-type cards that had fallen to the ground. Just as she was about to switch to the Requiem for Salvation form to seal them, Da Niu and Yu Yan rushed up and blocked Qi Wu's way.

The two of them joined forces and knocked Shigure back two steps. Shigure then pulled out the Sin Sword stuck in the ground and took out the Requiem for Salvation from behind her.

"Then let's seal you away first."

As Shiyu spoke, she tucked the Requiem for Salvation into her belt, then smashed the book open with the hilt of her sword.

Several small black and white dragons flew out, swallowed and enveloped Shigure, and then transformed.

Shigure did nothing but lightly slash down with his sword, sending the two flying.

Luo Yushang and Ji Xuan also rushed over, making it four against one.

But in reality, it was Shigure who was fighting four opponents at once.

Shura's perception clearly locked onto the four people in front of Shigure, while Shigure's Time Flow ability remained active. With the predictive power of Time Flow, Shigure could temporarily see what was about to happen in the next few seconds.

As a result, the four people's attacks never landed on Shigure, and even if they did, it was Shigure who deliberately took them.

Shi Yu sent Luo Yushang flying with a single sword strike, followed by another slash that sent her crashing into the warehouse wall.

"Sister Yushang!"

Ji Xuan looked in the direction where Luo Yucheng had been sent flying, and then in his vision, he saw a black and white sword rapidly grow larger from its initial size before slashing down on him.

In a single second, Shi Yu unleashed six sword strikes. With each strike exploding with sparks, Ji Xuan was forced to revert to his transformed state.

Shi Yu looked at the strange card that Ji Xuan had dropped on the ground, and then coldly said after closing the Requiem for Salvation.

"The second one."

As Shigure spoke, he smashed open the book on his belt, gathered all the power of the Requiem for Salvation into the Sin Sword, and then pointed the tip of the Sin Sword at the card of the Mysterious Card.

Black and white chains emerged from the tip of the sword, quickly sealing Ji Xuan's strange token.

Looking at the strange card that had turned blank again, Shi Yu put the card away and then looked at Da Niu and Yu Yan, who still had fighting power left.

"Next up are the two of you."

As Shiyu spoke, she jogged over, her cloak billowing behind her, creating a black and white hurricane.

The hurricane roared, and at this crucial moment, Shigure unleashed a sword strike that absorbed the power of the hurricane, sending the two flying.

The two collapsed beside Qi Wu, and all the strange tokens on the three of them exploded.

Just as Shigure was about to close the book and seal it, a person with exposed thighs and a lotus tattoo on his thighs, holding a heavy-looking knife, blocked the way in front of the three of them.

The black and red flames burned, and the man's hair turned snow-white.

"Little Nine!"

"How did you get here?"

Liu Yu, whose eyes had turned red, looked at Shi Yu in front of her and gripped the heavy sword in her hand tightly.

"I had to come."

"You can't stop Brother Shigure, only I can."

"If there's only one person who can stop Shigure-nii, it's me."

Shigure closed the book and deactivated his transformation. Looking at the girl in front of him, who was being burned by the Asura Karmic Fire because he had forcibly unsealed his Asura power, he gently raised his left hand.

"don't want!!!"

After seeing Shi Yu raise her hand, Qi Wu forced himself to stand up despite his extreme weakness and stood in front of Liu Yu.

"Shigure!!! Look at yourself carefully!!!"

"She is Xiao Jiu!!! Xiao Jiu, whom Liu An entrusted to you before she died!!!"

"Have you forgotten what Liu An said when she died?! Are you going to kill Xiao Jiu?!"

Qi Wu watched Shi Yu raise her hand and truly believed that Shi Yu's murderous intent had reached this level.

What they didn't expect was that Shigure was careful to use his strength during the battle, and the heaviest blow he dealt was only to knock them unconscious and incapacitate them.

Shigure had no intention of killing them; he simply wanted to seal away their strange cards.

Shi Yu offered no explanation, her gray eyes beneath her gray hair coldly staring at Qi Wu before she used an illusion to knock him unconscious.

"Boss!!!"

Yu Yan and Da Niu spoke at the same time, and then the two of them dragged their heavy bodies to block Shi Yu's way.

At that moment, a wheel representing time suddenly appeared in Shi Yu's left palm, and a wheel exactly the same as the one in Shi Yu's left palm appeared on Liu Yu's chest.

Just as the two were about to make their move, Shigure reached out and grabbed the wheel of time, slowly turning it backward.

With each inch that Shiyu turned the time wheel back, the signs of Asura's karmic fire on Liu Yu's body would lessen, until they disappeared completely.

Shiyu used her time reversal ability to rewind all the power that had activated Shura on Liu Yu's body and reinforced the Flourishing Lotus seal on Liu Yu's body.

Shi Yu coldly stared at the little girl in front of him who was still holding a knife. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Shi Yu knew clearly that she no longer had that status or qualification.

At that moment, a black aura suddenly emanated from Shigure's body. Then, Shigure, along with the sealed, eerie card, turned into darkness and left the place.

Shortly after Shigure left, a cold voice rang out from the warehouse.

"Next time."

"I will seal away all your strange cards."

After speaking, the voice disappeared abruptly as if it had been paused, leaving only the wounded crowd in the warehouse.

Shiyu returned to the otherworldly base and threw the card she had just sealed onto the conference table.

Most of the otherworldly beings were inside. Shiyu glanced around at them and then casually found a seat.

Gu Nian and Chun entered the conference room the next moment. Gu Nian sat in the main seat, while Chun sat next to Shi Yu.

"How's everyone's collection of the Mysterious Cards coming along?"

The others each threw out different numbers of strange cards, even Chun threw out one.

The person who collected the most was Kuang Lei, who collected a total of five.

Gu Nian put all the cards away and then nodded.

"Well done, everyone."

"Tomorrow, Chun, Jie, Cangli, and Yexue will come with me."

"The fifth card, Cerberus, went berserk and was trapped in a small mountain by me and Chun."

"He broke free from the card's constraints and returned to his original form, but the card remained with him."

"Tomorrow, the five of us will go into the mountains and bring this guy back."

"I don't need to elaborate on his importance, do I?"

Shigure nodded, glanced at the four of them, then looked away, pulling up the hood of his cloak to hide himself inside.

"That's it, everyone go home and find your own mothers."

"You can do whatever you want, and you can go back to base to rest anytime."
