Ghost Card Master: Starting with Myriad Ghosts Night Parade

There was no more time to waste. Lin Chen gave the order.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong clashed their maces and whips, simultaneously activating Exorcise Evil Spirits!

Golden righteous energy surged outwards, its effects of Sober Mind and Dispel Evil Aura washing over the entire room.

The fish corpse seemed to wilt under the impact.

The neighbors, previously in a daze, also regained their senses.

Seeing the massive, rotten fish corpse before them, they were all terrified and finally realized they had been contaminated by something strange.

They scrambled on all fours, trying to crawl away from the fish corpse, but the eerie fish lines tethered them, preventing their escape.

Seeing this, Yuchi Gong immediately stepped forward and roared!

The skill Tang Palace Performance: Thunderous Roar was activated!

The entire room seemed to tremble, the fish lines were shaken loose, and the fish corpse froze in a state of shock.

"While we have the chance, everyone hurry and get out of here! Go to my house next door first."

Lin Chen quickly directed them, afraid they would be harmed by the upcoming fight.

The neighbors now followed Lin Chen's commands without question, scrambling towards the door in a panic.

With the room cleared, Wu Song's Human Tai Sui trait flared up, making him eager for a fight.

The warrior was itching for action, only looking at Lin Chen, waiting for him to give the command.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment. Indeed, sending Wu Song, a green card, to fight was the best option.

If the two Door Gods were sent out, they would probably obliterate the fish corpse instantly.

Just like during the Myriad Ghosts Night Parade dungeon, the spirits under the Door Gods were almost always destroyed without a trace, some not even dropping any materials. For Lin Chen, who was desperately short on materials and funds, this would be too wasteful.

Sending Wu Song to fight would, first, satisfy Wu Song's bloodthirsty nature and prevent him from feeling stifled.

Second, it would help Wu Song train and grow.

Third, it would ensure the fish corpse remained intact, allowing for material extraction.

So, Lin Chen nodded. Wu Song immediately activated Jade Ring Steps, leaping out like an arrow, followed by Evil-Breaking Heavy Club, striking directly at the fish corpse.

The attack was a seamless combination of two major skills, executed with incredible fluidity.

Truly Wu Song, fierce and powerful, his aura like thunder!

However, the fish corpse, having absorbed the sanity of over ten people, was now quite sentient. It flicked its tail and leaped, dodging Wu Song's charged strike.

It seemed the "Wu Song's swing always misses" curse was also applicable here.

But Wu Song was undeterred. He dropped his mace and pressed forward.

The fish corpse activated its eerie fish eyes, emitting strange light, attempting to muddle Wu Song's mind.

To its surprise, Wu Song merely frowned, his consciousness completely unaffected.

He directly unleashed two kicks with Mandarin Duck Kick, heavily knocking the fish corpse over, scattering maggots all over the floor.

After all, Wu Song possessed some "spirit" attributes and a fierce aura. Ordinary spirits' attempts to corrupt sanity had no effect on him.

Wu Song picked up his peach wood mace again, intending to deliver the final blow to the fish corpse.

At that moment, a faint silver light flashed in mid-air. An almost invisible, hooked fishing line quietly descended, aiming for Wu Song's back.

This fish corpse had a hidden move!

A steel whip shot out from the side!

It entangled the fishing line, then pulled upwards, as if fishing, hooking the fish corpse itself.

It was the dark-faced fierce god, Yuchi Gong!

The fish corpse struggled violently, thrashing about, its rotten innards and maggots falling off.

Yuchi Gong was also impatient. Seeing his comrade in trouble, he quickly intervened, disarming the fish corpse's cowardly surprise attack.

When the Door Gods intervened, it was naturally like picking up a chicken. This minor spirit, not even reaching Aberrant Level, was easily subdued.

Wu Song did not hesitate. He brought his mace down heavily on the rotten fish corpse's head.

This blow landed squarely. The fish corpse immediately stopped thrashing.

Wu Song followed up with two more strikes, sending fish scales flying. Satisfied that it was thoroughly a dead fish, he returned to Lin Chen's side.

However, Lin Chen could clearly sense that Wu Song felt he hadn't fought to his full satisfaction.

(Fish Corpse: I'm very sorry, I couldn't make Lord Wu Song use his full strength.)

Wu Song cupped his fists and bowed to Yuchi Gong, thanking him for his assistance.

Yuchi Gong looked at the young man before him, who was as fierce as himself, and nodded in appreciation.

This spirit wasn't difficult to deal with, but it was adept at manipulating people and grew rapidly. If Lin Chen had discovered it a little later, perhaps hundreds of residents in the entire building would have been progressively corrupted.

It was just unlucky for this fish corpse. It had barely begun harming people right under Lin Chen's nose before it was strangled in the Anomaly Level, before it could grow.

It didn't even consider whose territory it was on!

A mere Malevolent Spirit, daring to cause trouble at the Door Gods' feet, disturbing the Tai Sui!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen became worried about the dozen or so neighbors who had been affected earlier, as the Door Gods possessed an aura that naturally dispelled evil and cleared the mind.

He decided to send the two Door Gods to his home first to look after them and stabilize their sanity, leaving only Wu Song by his side.

Then, Lin Chen began to use a blank card to encapsulate the fish corpse, obtaining a light green material card: [Night Fishing Anomaly - Rotten Fish Corpse].

After encapsulating the uncanny object, Lin Chen was about to go through the proper procedure to report this uncanny invasion event to the Card Association.

A sharp, youthful voice called out from outside the door: "You Ghost Card Master! How dare you cause trouble on my territory, Chen Xiao Diao!"

A spirited girl, just over 1.5 meters tall, dressed in a blue and white tracksuit, stood there.

She pointed a small, delicate finger at Lin Chen, her expression furious.

Lin Chen pointed to himself in confusion, "Me? A Ghost Card Master?"

Could it be that my business with the God cards or Daoist cards has been exposed?!

The spirited girl pointed at Wu Song, who was standing beside Lin Chen.

"I received a report that an uncanny invasion event occurred here. Your Card Spirit has such fierce malevolence, how can you deny being a Ghost Card? Are you trying to argue?"

Lin Chen frowned, wanting to explain, but he didn't quite know how.

In a way, Wu Song was a Ghost Card, but strictly speaking, he was just a card with a slight "ghostly" attribute, not one where "ghost" was the dominant factor.

Before Lin Chen could explain further, the girl had already thrown out a card, summoning a tall, long-limbed boxer with a muscular, bronze-skinned physique.

Lin Chen had seen the card illustration and recognized this card:

Card Name: [Fist Fighter]

Type: Fighter/Human

Quality: Excellent Grade · Emerald Green Border · Two Stars

Traits:

[Strong Muscles] The Fist Fighter possesses muscles honed through countless training sessions, granting them high damage resistance and powerful punching force.

[Muscle Memory] Through innumerable practice sessions, the Fist Fighter has ingrained defense and evasion into their instincts, resulting in solid defense and swift dodges.

Skills:

[Combination Punch] The Fist Fighter unleashes a rapid series of combination punches in a short period, delivering concentrated attacks to the enemy.

[Shaking Dodge] The Fist Fighter continuously shakes their body, creating a chaotic trajectory of movement that makes enemy attacks more likely to miss.

This was a Fighter card with maxed-out physical attributes. In close-quarters combat, it was almost the strongest among the green cards. However, its weakness was its lack of spiritual energy damage; it would easily falter against opponents with spiritual or mental abilities. Therefore, many Card Masters would equip the Fist Fighter with equipment cards that had spiritual energy attributes or combine it with materials for advancement.

But this Fist Fighter belonging to Chen Xiao Diao was unremarkable, clearly just a plain green card that could only fight physically.

Lin Chen didn't have time to ponder further; the Fist Fighter had already slid forward and thrown a quick punch.

Wu Song, who had been feeling like he hadn't fought to his heart's content earlier, immediately jumped out to meet the Fist Fighter's assault.

The two muscular figures began to brawl. Lin Chen knew that explaining was useless now, so he could only fight first.

Let's settle this with fists!

Since both cards were green-grade Fighter cards, let's see whose fists are harder!

The author, with [Rotten Fish Corpse], is here to beg for votes and continued readership!

This is crucial for the book's future recommendation slots and traffic!

The fish corpse activates its eerie eyes, emitting strange light to confuse the readers' minds. A nearly invisible fishing line with a hook quietly lowers, hooking towards the readers' monthly votes.

Chapter 14: Wu Song vs. Fist Fighter - A Flesh-and-Blood Collision!

Both the Fist Fighter and Wu Song, as Fighter cards, possessed physical prowess and combat skills far exceeding ordinary humans, and their fight was fierce and evenly matched.

One was born with divine strength, a malevolent star descended, while the other was meticulously trained, specializing in close combat.

One attacked with grand, sweeping movements and an unstoppable momentum, while the other delivered punch after punch, maintaining a solid guard.

"Ollah ollah ollah ollah! Let's just go head-to-head, punch for punch, fight it out!"

The spirited young girl, Chen Xiao Diao, was completely immersed, shouting encouragement with great fervor.

But Lin Chen could see that the panel attributes of the two cards were not significantly different. Perhaps Wu Song was slightly stronger, but not enough to break through the Fist Fighter's defense. Furthermore, the Fist Fighter's guard and footwork were very steady, and combined with the [Shaking Dodge] skill, there were no openings to exploit in a direct exchange of punches.

If this continued, it would only result in a stalemate. But with Wu Song's pride, how could he possibly accept a draw?

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao Diao, after her bout of shouting, was also secretly surprised. Normally, her Fist Fighter was primarily on the offensive, delivering combination punches one after another, and didn't need to maintain a high guard posture for extended periods.
