Hell Has No Gate, Yet You Walked Right In

What met Lu Su's eyes was Du Heng and a youth with a green crested hairstyle.

There was also Du Heng's Green Zombie card and the crested youth's card.

Hearing Lu Su's words, Du Heng could not help but sneer. "I really can't beat you, but Big Brother Gu is here today. I'll make you kneel and beg me for mercy!"

"Big Brother Gu is a Bronze Grade Card Master!"

If Du Heng had been alone, he definitely would not have dared to come looking for Lu Su to settle scores.

That was right—settling scores.

Du Heng blamed every misfortune in his life on Lu Su, never considering that he had only himself to blame for his current state.

Perhaps he had considered it, but he did not dare retaliate against Jiang Nanxi. After all, her father was a Gold Grade Card Master.

But Big Brother Gu, as Du Heng called him, ignored him and said with interest, "Lu Su, right? As long as you're willing to join our Spirit Summoning Society, you can deal with this brat however you like."

The crested youth had been ordered to recruit Du Heng today. After Du Heng told him about Lu Su, he could not help growing curious.

And now, in the crested youth's eyes, no number of Du Hengs could compare to Lu Su's value.

He had only come with Du Heng to see what the genius youth who had supposedly exposed the Spirit Summoning Society's plans was like.

If Lu Su had no value, killing him on the spot would have been no great loss.

But if he did have value, bringing him back would surely earn him praise and rewards from his superiors.

That was why the crested youth had not reported to his superiors at all and had acted on his own.

Du Heng, standing beside him, went pale and muttered, "Big Brother Gu, what do you mean by that?"

At Du Heng's question, a malicious smile spread across the crested youth's face. "I mean that compared to him, you are a complete and utter..."

"Piece of trash."

"Give it up. I'll never join the Spirit Summoning Society." Lu Su coldly watched the two men opposite him turn on each other. At that moment, killing intent surged within him.

Perhaps playing along with the crested youth for now would have been the best choice, but Lu Su could not do it. Right now, all he wanted was to crush the two of them into pulp.

When Du Heng had provoked him again and again before, Lu Su had merely smiled and treated him like a clown.

But he should never have colluded with the Spirit Summoning Society to harm innocent people.

What was more, Lu Su's own life was under threat as well.

"So, Du Heng, you killed your own parents, didn't you?" Though phrased as a question, Lu Su's tone was utterly certain.

The crested youth's lips curled into an exaggerated grin. "He may be trash, but even I have to admit I'm inferior to him when it comes to being ruthless."

A venomous expression appeared on Du Heng's face as well. He said bitterly, "Those two old fools actually wanted me to kneel and apologize to you!"

"I did nothing wrong! They never understood me!"

"And now that I have the Spirit Summoning Society, I still have a chance to keep making cards!"

If the crested youth had not appeared, Du Heng might have accepted kneeling and apologizing to Lu Su and the others. But the youth's appearance had let him see hope of rising again.

The Spirit Summoning Society also required Du Heng to offer proof of loyalty. After killing his own parents, he had no way back.

Hearing Du Heng's words, Lu Su let out a long breath and slowly closed his eyes. "You're truly worse than pigs and dogs."

At this point, there was nothing left for either side to discuss.

The crested youth's card was a pale man with sharp fangs.

Lu Su guessed it belonged to the Vampire series.

This series was relatively uncommon in Great Ming, but it was not unheard of.

Moreover, Vampires had an enormous gap between their upper and lower limits. He just did not know what level this one was.

But Kaneki Ken did not seem tense beside him, so he should still be able to handle it.

Besides, with such a commotion, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs had probably already informed the Card Master Association.

All Lu Su needed to do was stall until the Association Card Master arrived at Happy Home.

The Vampire moved first, driving its right fist at Lu Su with a howling gust of wind.

Clang!

The attack was blocked. Black-red, Centipede-like tentacles extended from Kaneki's tailbone, winding around Lu Su and guarding him.

"Let's change locations. There's not enough room here," Lu Su softly said to Kaneki in front of him.

Kaneki's gaze flicked toward Aunt Xu, who lay on the ground, and he instantly understood.

Kaneki scooped Lu Su up and crossed five steps in a single stride, arriving outside the building.

"Hmph, trying to run?" A scornful smile appeared on the crested youth's face.

He chased after them with the Vampire.

Du Heng hesitated before following as well. In his view, as long as Lu Su was killed here, he could still join the Spirit Summoning Society—and vent the hatred in his heart while he was at it.

Outside the building, the crested youth said curiously, "That brat only said you had a Purple biological card. He never mentioned you had another one."

Naturally, Lu Su had no intention of kindly answering his question.

The black-red, sharp tail-like tentacles belonging to Kamishiro Rize smashed viciously toward the Vampire.

Boom!

The area was instantly shrouded in smoke.

As Kaneki silently observed the situation within the smoke—

A black shadow suddenly shot out from the smoke and struck Kaneki in an instant.

Kaneki, who had been hit, was unable to move.

"A mere Black Iron Grade card dying under my Shadow Strike Blood Manipulation should consider itself honored." The crested youth's smug voice rang out.

"What an opportunity!" Delight flashed in Du Heng's eyes as he controlled his Green Zombie to attack Lu Su.

Unfortunately, a black-haired youth blocked it.

It was Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

Seeing this, Du Heng nearly snapped. "Why? Fine, you made a second biological card so quickly, but why can you control two cards at once?!"

Thanks to Lu Su's extraordinary Spiritual Power talent, after spending so many days in this world, he had recently begun to vaguely touch the threshold of Bronze Grade.

Using two Black Iron Grade cards at the same time was naturally no difficulty for him.

Very soon, Tsugikuni Yoriichi recreated the scene from the ranking test and beheaded the Green Zombie with a single slash.

But he did not continue attacking. Instead, he silently retreated to Lu Su's side.

After all, Kaneki's condition was still unclear.

If things went wrong, he would immediately take Lu Su and retreat.

As the smoke gradually dispersed, a pitch-black shadow stretched from beneath the crested youth's Vampire to Kaneki's feet, firmly restraining him.

Slowly, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the Vampire's face.

The next moment, a cloud of blood mist erupted from Kaneki's entire body.

Seeing this, the crested youth felt victory was in his grasp and could not help saying, "Kneel and beg for mercy now, and I can give you one more chance."

Du Heng stared at him in disbelief. He had not expected the crested youth to still be thinking of recruiting Lu Su at a time like this.

Was Lu Su really that outstanding?!

Just as Du Heng was about to say something, he saw the crested youth's eyes widen abruptly, as though he had witnessed something unbelievable.

Turning around, he saw an enormous Centipede tentacle had already pierced through the Vampire's body, wildly unfurling its horrifying form.

At the end of the Centipede tentacle stood Kaneki, his face filled with madness.

An injury of this degree would have shattered an ordinary Black Iron Grade card long ago, but Kaneki was a Red Quality Black Iron Grade card!

High-Speed Regeneration rapidly healed Kaneki's wounds.

The next moment, the Centipede tentacles surged toward the crested youth like a mad dragon.
