Chapter Summaries

Lu Su and Zeng Bo uncovered a Guiyi Cult recruitment site in Myriad Flower Tower, but a Demon Army researcher named Lannid intervened and forced them to retreat. Lu Su realized Lannid’s Knowledgeable Immortal Species material might be the last ingredient he needed for his second Spirit Summoning Society Identity card.

• Spider-girl found a concealed room on the third floor of Myriad Flower Tower, where Lu Su and Zeng Bo discovered Brother Pang and Youth recruiting dissatisfied ordinary people into the Guiyi Cult.

• Li Shuo and the Demon Army researcher Lannid arrived, and Lannid’s magic clashed with Spider-girl’s and Zeng Bo’s attacks as Lu Su and Zeng Bo escaped.

• Aizen used Mirror Flower, Water Moon and his Kido while Lannid attacked Lu Su and Zeng Bo, but the two sides’ cards repeatedly blocked one another.
• Turtle Prime Minister and Misaka Mikoto struck Lannid with water and lightning, and Aizen trapped her in Kurohitsugi, leaving her badly injured.

Lu Su learned that Demons connected to the Black Flag Secret Realm were approaching Donglai, then joined the Association’s response when a fleet attacked the Coastline. He left the chapter facing Sword King Gasi, who demanded the defenders surrender.

• Lu Su and Frieren killed Demons scouting the Coastline, and the last survivor revealed that four of seven Kings were fighting a country under an Overlord.

• Sword King Gasi approached aboard a Steel Giant Ship and offered to spare the defenders if they surrendered.

Lu Su helped Donglai prepare for a looming demonic assault while concealing that a Jade Grade demon was among the forces at sea. After arranging defenses and deciding to warn the Association indirectly, he returned to a Spirit Summoning Society hideout and prepared Mo Yu to impersonate him on the coast.

• Zeng Bo and Misaka Mikoto stirred up the sea and summoned storms, but Sword King Gasi destroyed the clouds and moved his ship beyond the Turtle Prime Minister’s reach.
• Lu Yan returned to Association Headquarters and told Sima Huai that Gold Grade demons had appeared offshore; Sima Huai said no reinforcements were available and agreed to warn nearby cities.

• Lu Su arranged rotating shifts at the coast, then secretly left to meet Mo Yu in Zeng Bo’s hidden basement.
• Lu Su had Mo Yu disguise himself as Lu Su and assigned Spider-girl to accompany him for a mission at the coastline that night.

Mo Yu and Spider-girl probed Gasi’s fleet, discovering another Gold Grade Demon and testing the fleet’s defenses. After Mo Yu revealed that a Jade Grade being stood behind the demons, Lu Su’s group fought briefly with Gasi before retreating, leaving Gasi frustrated and still awaiting King Will.

• Mo Yu and Spider-girl attacked Gasi’s fleet, where Gasi countered their magic and Tans stabilized the ships against Spider-girl’s whirlpool.
• Spider-girl appraised Gasi as a Gold Grade Sword King and Tans as a Gold Grade Fleet Second Mate, while Lu Su realized the demons had multiple Gold Grade members.
• Lu Su, Lu Yan, and Zeng Bo reached the battlefield, and Mo Yu revealed that a Jade Grade existence stood behind the demons before fleeing with Spider-girl.
• Gasi attacked Lu Su’s group, but Aizen blocked his strike; Lu Su then used a Railgun and Black Coffin to cover their retreat.
• Gasi broke free of the Black Coffin and asked Tans when King Will would arrive, then ordered preparations for food.

Lu Su learned that the Spirit Summoning Society had reported a possible Jade Grade Demon near Donglai, but Sima Huai delayed and downplayed the warning, prompting Lu Su to threaten him with Bai Yueming’s name. With Qilu sending only two Gold Grade reinforcements, Lu Su and the others prepared to test the demons’ defenses at the coast.

• Zeng Bo agreed that the Spirit Summoning Society’s warning about a Jade Grade Demon was likely reliable, and Lu Su returned to Headquarters to tell Sima Huai.
• Sima Huai delayed reporting the threat and labeled it only “suspected Jade Grade,” so Qilu sent just two Gold Grade Card Masters to Donglai.
• Lu Su left Sima Huai’s office determined to deal with him after the coastal crisis, then told Lu Yan and Zeng Bo that they could not wait for stronger support.
• Two days later, Wan Lin and Bian Lan arrived, and Lu Su declined their offer to lead the attack while he stayed behind.
• Lu Su, Lu Yan, and Zeng Bo set out to test the demons’ defenses as Wan Lin and Bian Lan remained ready to support them.

Lu Su and his cards attacked Gasi’s fleet, using Aizen’s illusions to keep Gasi and Tans distracted while the others fought the demons below. A Jade Grade demon named Will arrived, incapacitated the nearby Card Masters, and offered Lu Su a place as his first mate; Lu Su secretly gained a concealment cloak and faced the choice of whether to run.

• Lu Su, Aizen, and Misaka Mikoto destroyed a ship with Kido and drew Gasi’s attention while Aizen’s illusion misled him.

Lu Su led Will away from Donglai and tried to hold him off until Gu Wu arrived, but Will overwhelmed his summoned cards. Spider-girl’s Observer’s Gaze then brought an unknown force that erased Gasi and Will, leaving Lu Su and Gu Wu to question what had happened.

• Lu Su escaped over the sea while Will pursued him, and he contacted Gu Wu for backup near Shanghai City.
• Will caught up and attacked Lu Su’s group, but their defenses and illusions kept Lu Su alive while Spider-girl survived Will’s devastating strike through her Patience skill.

• Will’s attack devastated the sea and seabed, leaving Spider-girl badly injured as Lu Su waited for Gu Wu to arrive.
• An unknown caller’s phone appeared in Will’s hand; after Will refused to spare Lu Su, Gasi and Will vanished piece by piece.
• Gu Wu reached Lu Su, and Lu Su suspected Spider-girl’s Observer’s Gaze had caused the disappearances while Gu Wu asked whether Lu Su was responsible.

Lu Su returned after killing the Jade Grade demon and found Donglai’s defenders convinced he had died saving the city. His return shocked the Association members, while Sima Huai struggled to hide his disappointment and Lu Su claimed credit for the demon’s death.

• Gu Wu praised Lu Su for eliminating Will and Gasi, and Lu Su said the erasing ability was difficult to reproduce before Gu Wu left.

• When asked where the Jade Grade demon was, Lu Su said it was dead and insisted that he had killed it himself.

• Celestial Master Zhang summoned Wang Lingguan, whose golden flames destroyed Tans’s gathered fleet before he departed.
• Lu Su directed the Gold Grade Card Masters to handle the aftermath, and Sima Huai left for Headquarters after handing him responsibility.

Zoro and Frieren fought Sima Huai’s cards while Lu Yan faced Zeng Bo, and Frieren battled Nangong Ce through his Five Elements Sorcery. Nangong Ce trapped Frieren with Sky Burning Flame, but her concealment magic fell away and revealed the immense mana of an elven Great Magic User who had lived for over a thousand years.

• Zoro attacked Yan Ji, Tu Hu, and Nangong Ce with Armament Haki, while Frieren intercepted Nangong Ce with Killing Magic.

• Yan Ji remembered the masked bandits’ attack on the Yan Clan, Yan Xue’s death, and how the divine swords awakened to help him kill the attackers.
• After Lin Yifeng brought Yan Ji to the Water Moon Sword Sect, Yan Xue’s spirit promised to remain with him, and Yan Ji became known as the Mad Blade.
