Yesterday's fourth update: Chapter 2578! 4/4!
Zhi Xin's sudden arrival had slightly affected Xu Kun's deployment, but it was not a bad effect. It was a good one.
With limited cards in hand, if he wanted to win, he could only proceed steadily and calculate every step carefully.
Frieza, on the other hand, had led the Heavenly Kingdom Guard's most elite forces against him. His resources were ample; even after some of his cards had been expended for nothing, he still had more than enough left.
Originally, Yang Yao had been the only card available to deal with the final Saint Pillar Inheritor, Rogosir. In that case, Xu Kun's target would naturally have been Frieza.
