Yuchi Gong and the Spirit Rat Temple Steward went onto the giant vine to rescue Chen Xiao Diao and stop the birth of the Black Goat's Egg;
Qin Qiong and Wu Song followed Lin Chen in attacking Amber.
Three cards and four card spirits had all emerged, already pushing Lin Chen's mental strength to its limit.
Meanwhile, the blood mist in the wine cellar was worming its way into his nostrils wherever it found an opening. Every breath he inhaled corroded his sanity a little further.
Lin Chen's sanity was already hovering on the warning line!
But he could not worry about that now. He had to win this desperate gamble against time...
Yuchi Gong raised his whip and tore several gashes in the giant vine. Blood-red juice, flowing like a little river, gushed out and slowed the delivery of nutrients to the Black Goat's Egg;
The Spirit Rat trembled as it dodged the tentacles, quietly drawing closer to Chen Xiao Diao beside the Evil God's Egg.
On Lin Chen's side, Qin Qiong flew straight toward Amber;
The golden maces descended like thunder, cleaving through the air!
Amber could only use the God of Wine Staff to block.
Clang! The two weapons collided.
Amber barely managed to block the blow with the power of the "Divine Equipment," but he was still shaken until blood trickled from his nose and mouth!
How could a mortal body withstand a Door God?
The surviving Mad Women under Amber also rushed forward recklessly, trying to obstruct Qin Qiong's attack;
But Wu Song kicked them away one after another;
Lin Chen was frantic, urging Qin Qiong desperately to kill Amber at once!
Qin Qiong immediately infused the attack with divine power and thrust out a mace!
Amber had to split his attention to maintain the ritual and could not dodge this blow;
The golden mace sank deep into Amber's chest. It was just about to pierce through him when it seemed to meet some obstruction and could advance no farther!
Seeing that he could not kill Amber in an instant, Lin Chen grew even more flustered and looked toward Chen Xiao Diao:
The Spirit Rat had already crawled to Chen Xiao Diao's side. Its tiny claws shook the girl's body with all their might, but the Spirit Rat was not a combat-type card spirit and possessed little strength.
Yuchi Gong, meanwhile, had been entangled by several black tentacles that had grown from the Black Goat's Egg;
The Evil God's Egg had not even fully taken shape, yet it had already developed an instinct to defend against enemies!
Unable to free his hands, Yuchi Gong activated the Exorcise Evil Spirits skill from afar, hoping to use its Sober Mind effect to awaken Chen Xiao Diao.
But the twisted contaminating power around the Black Goat's Egg was too dense. Even the righteous aura of Exorcise Evil Spirits was mostly canceled out.
It was no use! Chen Xiao Diao still showed no reaction!
At that moment, the Spirit Rat pulled out a bracelet--
It was Lin Chen's Sober Mind Bracelet - Emergency Needle!
Lin Chen had handed it to the Spirit Rat and told it to seize an opportunity to use the bracelet to stab Chen Xiao Diao awake.
The Spirit Rat successfully put the bracelet onto Chen Xiao Diao's wrist!
Lin Chen was overjoyed. "It worked!"
Amber would never have guessed that Lin Chen had entrusted the key to rescuing someone to a tiny mouse with no combat ability whatsoever.
The next second, however, a thin vine suddenly grew from the vines binding Chen Xiao Diao. It tore off the bracelet and crushed it to pieces!
It was Amber!
Even with a mace embedded in his chest, he could still spare the attention to perform delicate manipulation of the Vine of Harvest!
Lin Chen's eyes nearly split with fury. The method he had devised to break through his dead end had been destroyed just like that!
Was it still not enough?
Had he still failed?
Amber completely discarded his usual dignified image and began laughing wildly. "Hahahaha! Seeing you despair brings me such joy!"
Lin Chen glared at Amber and shouted, "Go to hell!"
For the first time, he felt such an intense desire to kill someone!
Qin Qiong sensed Lin Chen's rage. His twin maces churned, and Amber's chest was completely torn open;
Yet Lin Chen suddenly saw that where Amber's heart should have been, a purple card was embedded!

Chapter 35: Chen Xiao Diao Was Certain to Die
Amber had actually embedded the Holy Grail's original card in his own heart!
No wonder he could summon the Holy Grail at will without a card. The card had been hidden inside Amber's body all along!
The surface of the card was covered in fine blood vessels and had become inseparable from Amber's heart chambers;
What Qin Qiong's mace tip had struck just now was not bone or flesh at all, but the card's hard surface!
That was why it could not pierce Amber's heart, allowing him to survive a full-strength attack from a Door God.
What kind of monster was this!?
A human body had actually been modified to such an extent?
As expected, a "Priest of the God of Wine" could not be treated as an ordinary human!
The original Holy Grail card was activating Divine Blood Blessing, rapidly repairing Amber's ruined body;
The card had granted Amber tremendous vitality, keeping him alive and protecting his heart.
As long as the Holy Grail remained undestroyed, Amber was temporarily immortal!
But the damage to his body still remained;
Blood and filth kept spraying from Amber's nose and mouth, staining his breathtaking face a savage scarlet.
Instead, Amber loudly mocked Lin Chen, his laughter hoarse as tearing silk:
"Hah! Your God Card is indeed stronger than mine, but so what?
"I don't need to defeat you. I only need to hold you back so you can't kill me;
"When the newborn divine offspring descends into the world, you will be the one who loses!"
The situation was developing exactly as Lin Chen had feared--
They had split their forces in two, yet both sides had fallen into a stalemate and could not deal with their opponents.
Defeat seemed destined...
But Lin Chen suddenly raised his head, hope flashing brightly in his eyes:
"I saw the Blood-Meat Holy Grail's card information. Attacks without divine power can't destroy the Holy Grail, right!"
Amber abruptly stopped laughing, his voice turning as cold as ice:
"What are you trying to do?!"
Lin Chen's voice grew louder and more impassioned. "The implication is that divine power can destroy the Holy Grail;
"Since I can't kill you, I'll destroy the Holy Grail first. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
"Qin Qiong, give it everything you've got! Smash that Holy Grail!"
The mighty Door God drove his divine power, drawing incense offerings from a temple in the void and attaching them to the golden mace;
Tang Palace Martial Arts - Throwing Mace activated!
The golden mace shot out like lightning, flying straight toward the Blood-Meat Holy Grail condensing in midair!
The blow struck home. The Holy Grail was knocked askew, and a small piece of its rim shattered;
In an instant, the blood wine inside began spilling through the broken gap...
The blood brew refined from Holy Blood Sweet Brew was leaking away!
The wine in the cup was no longer full. Even sacrificing Chen Xiao Diao now would not be enough.
The Blood Sacrifice Ritual was also interrupted because the ritual tool had been damaged!
Amber's expression became horribly twisted. He could not believe that the divine sacrifice resurrection ritual he had planned for so long had been shattered by a single mace strike!
He had thoroughly investigated and carefully selected every sacrifice--
They had to be solitary, isolated, without any background, with the strength of the cards they possessed precisely controlled below the "Green" grade.
He had even lured them to his bar to fight on his home turf, with the terrain advantage of grapevines and wine mist;
