Strange Cards

Chapter 159 Dragon Transformation?

Yanyun was making wild predictions, but Shiyu realized something was wrong after several strikes.

"Wait, where's the immortal dragon centipede inside him?"

As Shi Yu spoke, she dodged a blood-red blade of energy, and then kicked the First Emperor away.

"The centipede wasn't inside his body; it was outside."

"First, we need to find a way to seal him away. If we don't kill that centipede, this guy is a complete, immortal scoundrel, a toad that won't bite but is utterly disgusting."

A's voice rang out, followed by a pair of ghostly hands that restrained the First Emperor.

"The Queen of Spades has an ability called Parasitic Puppet."

"Quickly throw a puppet ghost doll and plant the parasitic puppet inside that Guardian Ape. Then think of a way to chop off the hand that the First Emperor was holding the Mortal Blade and let the Guardian Ape hold it temporarily."

"Without the power of the Mortal Blade, this thing simply cannot be sealed away, but you also saw that piece of paper. You are well aware of the price of using the Mortal Blade."

"The price to use this sword is to die once, otherwise you cannot wield it."

Upon hearing this, Shigure first threw out a puppet ghost doll and rushed out, planting the parasitic puppet behind the already dead lion ape corpse. The huge headless corpse that had fallen instantly stood up.

The guardian ape slammed its arms into the ground and then propelled itself into the air with a powerful burst of energy.

The Guardian Ape aimed precisely and landed in front of the palace's main hall, then rushed inside.

Shigure was in sync with the parasitic puppet inside the Lion Ape. Using the substitute puppet, he forced the First Emperor to reveal a weakness before slashing upwards with his sword. Thanks to Yanyun's calculations, he narrowly severed the First Emperor's right hand.

The Mortal Blade in his right hand was also thrown away, and the Guardian Ape seized the opportunity to grab it.

The red aura emanating from the Mortal Blade instantly enveloped the Guardian Ape's body, but since the Guardian Ape was an inanimate object, the price of death for using its power had no effect on it.

But the Guardian Ape's flesh and blood withered instantly, and it seemed he only had one more chance to fight.

Shi Yu reached into his pocket again and pulled out the small iron cage, forcibly restraining the First Emperor.

Before his flesh and blood were completely depleted, the Guardian Ape plunged the Mortal Blade directly into the First Emperor's heart, pinning him to the ground.

Just then, the endless stream of Black Dragon soldiers suddenly collapsed like wheat that had been cut down, unable to move at all.

When Qi Wu saw the First Emperor trying to pull out the Undying Blade from his heart, he turned around and leaped up, his hand already covered with strange patterns.

"Five seals!"

Qi Wu forcibly sealed the First Emperor's limbs. Apart from his hideous face, the First Emperor was now like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

Just as Qi Wu was about to touch the Mortal Blade, Shigure used his Puppet Demon to knock Qi Wu away, and hurriedly shouted as he saw the crowd surrounding him.

"Don't touch this knife! You'll die!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped back, even Qi Wu took two steps back.

"Really, Xiaoyu?"

Shigure pointed to the lion ape, whose flesh and blood were almost completely depleted.

"This is the best proof of the price."

"A living person must die once to use this weapon, and even inanimate objects will have their flesh and blood wither away and their bones be destroyed when they use this knife."

"I haven't found the immortal dragon centipede inside the First Emperor's body yet. Right now, the only way to deal with him is to use the Immortal Blade to pin him down, plus your seal, boss."

"Then let's find it!"

"Centipedes cannot live long outside of the human body; at most, they can only hide temporarily."

Standing in the crowd, Luo Yushang suddenly seemed to remember something and slowly said...

"Since that thing is called a dragon centipede, is it possible that it has already transformed into a dragon?"

"After transforming into a dragon, that thing shouldn't need to be hidden in the human body anymore, right?"

"How is that possible?"

As soon as Li Shun opened his mouth, the entire palace shook as if an earth dragon were turning over.

Shi Yu instantly activated the Remnant Fire Mech and, seeing the huge boulder collapsing from the palace roof, threw a punch directly at it.

Dafu roared and his body instantly grew to enormous size, directly withstanding the two largest stone slabs.

After Dafu braced himself against the stone slab, he threw it out of the palace. Meanwhile, Ying, who had been lurking in the ground, burst out of the earth and brandished two black daggers, shattering a stone into pieces.

Li Shun then transformed into wings once more, attaching himself to Da Niu's back, and then flew away with Da Niu.

Luo Yushang used her abilities to create two huge plant shields, protecting herself, Yan Jingya, and the First Emperor who was pinned to the ground.

Soon the stones were cleared away by the group, and then they saw the huge, terrifying creature behind them.

Qi Wu swallowed hard after looking at the creature.

"Yushang, next time, if you can avoid speaking, then don't speak at all."

"How come your jinx is even worse than Yu Yan's? You were absolutely right."

The enormous creature looked like a dragon, with dragon horns and whiskers.

But the dragon's body was covered with densely packed legs like a centipede, making it look quite eerie.

"This thing might actually shed that centipede's skin...."

"He's really become a dragon, hasn't he?"

Just then, the smoke and clouds had finished scanning the enormous creature.

"Sir, this creature will be temporarily named a Jiaolong according to naming conventions."

"But I found at least a thousand kinds of animal genes in this dragon's body, but the most important ones were the genes of the immortal dragon centipede."

"So in other words, this thing shouldn't be called a dragon, but a chimera."

"I know, is there any way to get rid of him?"

Yanyun's voice fell silent for a moment before continuing.

"Probability calculation complete..."

The probability of defeating this dragon is... zero.

"If you need me to speak like a human being, then it's a dream."

"Don't fucking tell lame jokes at a time like this!"

Shi Yu slowly retreated, while Jiaolong seemed uninterested and did not make a move, merely coldly watching the ten tiny figures below.

"Boss, what do we do?"

Qi Wu suddenly became excited. After deactivating his evolved armor, he took out his belt, then pulled out a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) with an egg from his bag and swallowed it in a few bites.

Qi Wu inserted his ID card, swiped the red heart card, and then pulled out the long sword from the Lion Ape.

"I want to kill him."

"If we manage to kill him here today, we'll earn the title of Dragon Slayers."

"Damn, just thinking about it gets me excited."

The hunters were excited and eager to try. Shi Yu, seeing their eagerness, modified the Remnant Fire Mech into a close-fitting suit of armor and then took out the Crescent Moon Scythe.

"Damn, after what the boss said, I got excited too."
