Drawing Cards Starting from Douluo World

For the first time, Dai Weisi issued an order to Old Master Li Fu, whom he greatly respected, in such a grave tone.

Without slowing his steps, Li Fu gave a slight nod and unhesitatingly unleashed his killing move upon the Shadow Leopard Soul Douluo.

"Eighth Soul Skill: Black Annihilation Blade!"

A pitch-black blade slashed out from the void, cutting the Shadow Leopard Soul Douluo, who had been completely unable to react, into three—

Both legs were severed at the knees!

"Aah~~~! Aah!!!"

The Shadow Leopard Soul Douluo, who had been desperately fleeing, lost both legs at once. Agonizing pain, massive blood loss, and the despair of having his path to survival cut off drove him to let out miserable howls.

Thus, of the force Spirit Hall had sent to assassinate Dai Weisi this time, three were dead and one crippled. Only that Titled Douluo had escaped; it could be said they had suffered heavy losses.

Yet no matter how brilliant the results of this battle were, how could Dai Weisi possibly smile as he looked at Dugu Yan in his arms, her heart pierced and her life hanging by a thread?

But Dugu Yan could smile.

Despite suffering a fatal wound through the heart, she was still smiling—more beautiful and radiant than she had ever been before Dai Weisi.

She even tried to raise her right hand to touch Dai Weisi's face, but all her strength was draining away, leaving her unable to do so.

Dai Weisi's heart ached beyond measure. He hurriedly grasped her right hand tightly and pressed it against his own face, letting her fingers gently stroke his cheek.

At that moment, scene after scene flashed through Dai Weisi's mind, every frame a memory from after they had met.

It was the blush filling her eyes when she had needed to remove her outer clothes before he could purge her poison.

It was the heartfelt kiss she had thrown herself into his arms to give him after he had purged her poison.

It was her unreasonable insistence and crafty smile when they met again, forcing him to accompany her to the lantern festival.

It was the joy on her face just now as she ran toward him carrying the little green snake lantern...

Though they had known each other for only a few short days and met only a handful of times, every smile, every frown, and every word Dugu Yan had spoken replayed endlessly in Dai Weisi's mind at this very moment.

The weight of one's feelings had never been determined by time alone.

Dai Weisi, a transmigrator who had always fancied himself a gacha king, looked at the wound pierced through Dugu Yan's chest and felt powerless for the first time.

With injuries like these, only a Soul Sage-level Nine Heart Begonia present at the scene, immediately using a Martial Soul Avatar, might possibly be able to snatch her back from the hands of death.

In the few seconds since Dugu Yan had been injured, he had searched through his system storage again and again. Unfortunately, not a single card could save her life.

Medicine could not revive the dead. Even a Great Returning Pill could not save someone without a heart.

Dai Weisi hated himself for not forcibly tying Ye Jinghu to the carriage back then when he had wanted to seek his own death.

Dugu Yan opened her mouth, but with her airway full of blood, she could not make a sound. Following her gaze, however, Dai Weisi spotted the Little White Tiger lantern that had fallen to the ground.

That was the thing she had just wanted to exchange with Dai Weisi.

Dai Weisi gathered his inner force in his hand and drew the Little White Tiger lantern up from the ground, intending to place it in Dugu Yan's hand... only to find that the little white tiger's body had been mangled by the aftershock of the battle, no longer as adorable as before.

Could I not even give you the last gift you wanted intact?

Seeing the faint regret deep in Dugu Yan's eyes, Dai Weisi's heart was shredded to pieces just like that Little White Tiger lantern.

His tiger eyes widened, and a clear tear fell, landing on Dugu Yan's pale cheek.

This was the first tear Dai Weisi had shed since coming to this world.

Dugu Yan's fingers gently moved across Dai Weisi's face, wanting to wipe away the tears on his cheeks.

In her heart, Dai Weisi was her peerless hero. The sight of him clad in golden armor as he defeated the powerful enemies just now had been the most handsome thing Dugu Yan had ever seen—even more handsome than her grandfather. Her peerless hero could not cry so pathetically.

Just then, a burst of pink light suddenly bloomed in Dai Weisi's hand.

A card appeared in his hand on its own—

Dugu Yan saw it too, but Li Fu showed no reaction whatsoever, even though he had once absorbed a system-produced card.

This was the first time Dai Weisi's cards had appeared on their own without his summons, and also the first time a card had appeared in physical form before anyone on Douluo Continent besides Dai Weisi.

Couple's martial arts card—Jade Maiden Heart Swordplay.

The irony was that this premier couple's martial art from the entire Jin-style heroes game world had actually fulfilled its harsh requirements for use at this moment.

To live and die together, hearts in perfect accord.

Those eight words spoke of the beauty of love, but in the reality before him, they confronted Dai Weisi with the cruelest possible ending.

Wait!

Seeing the usage effect displayed on the Jade Maiden Heart Swordplay martial arts card, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Dai Weisi.

To live and die together?
