Blood Tide

Zhou Qing found it hard to accept.

Why did Su Li, that bastard, possess so many cards now?

Why could he trade blows with the little princess of the Beast Taming Family on the field?

Why was Zhou Qing still stuck with only one card, reduced to mediocrity even now?

His eyes were bloodshot as he gripped the railing of the spectator stand tightly.

Within the Black Mist, Su Li stood still, his spirit jade flashing wildly in warning of approaching danger.

On his shoulder, the little fox gritted its teeth and glared viciously into the sky.

It unleashed Needle Sting. Its snowy-white tail swayed as it faced the heavens and fired a rain of needles.

The falcon let out a long cry, sensing danger. It began to glide, evading the Needle Stings.

But the little fox had already reached Bronze Rank 7. After shrinking in size, its Needle Stings became sharper and faster, piercing countless bloody holes through the falcon in the blink of an eye.

The falcon cried miserably, scattering blood as it fell into the forest.

At that moment, the Black Mist churned as the tiger pounced at Su Li's back.

Su Li did not turn around, because Su Miaohan had already made her move. Viper's Kiss slashed out a terrifying blade light, instantly killing the tiger.

A graceful figure flashed past, but the card masters caught sight of it.

"There's an assassin-type card within the Black Mist!"

Su Li did not immediately send Su Miaohan to assassinate Bai Moxue, who stood at the highest point in the center of Hundred Beasts Forest.

For one thing, that was the center of Hundred Beasts Forest, and its properties were still unknown.

For another, a wealthy young lady like Bai Moxue could not possibly lack countermeasures against a direct check from the enemy when she was prepared.

If Su Miaohan suffered any losses, his chances of winning this battle would drop drastically.

Card master duels usually began with probing. No one would reveal their trump cards right away unless they possessed absolute confidence.

"Su Li is actually suppressing the young lady of the Beast Taming Family?" A card master widened his eyes. This was far from the widespread pessimism from before.

"Both sides are still probing each other. Don't underestimate beast-taming decks," someone beside him analyzed.

Battles between card masters were often extremely complicated. The diversity of cards created uncertainty, so both sides would usually probe each other while holding back their trump cards.

Hiss!

Grantis had nearly drained the giant python dry of blood. With a boom, it collapsed.

At this point, Su Li had wiped out all three giant beasts.

Bai Moxue stood at the highest point of Hundred Beasts Forest, her expression unchanged despite the defeat of the three giant beasts.

Her mental power connected with [Hundred Beasts Forest].

A brilliant green glow suddenly rose from the ancient forest.

The verdant shade flourished, and an immense aura of life erupted.

Yet the scent of blood within the forest only grew thicker.

The skill of [Hundred Beasts Forest]: Beast's Last Stand.

The dying giant beasts' vitality erupted rapidly, their most primal savagery unleashed. They rose to their feet once more, their auras growing even stronger as they crossed into high Bronze rank!

Roar!

The little White Fox let out a roar and used Free Transformation, instantly turning into a five-meter-tall giant beast. Its snowy-white tail shielded Su Li.

It fired Needle Sting, launching spear-like needles sideways at the tiger charging at it once again.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Bloody wounds appeared all over the tiger, but green fluorescence covered it, healing it at an astonishing speed. Instead, this stirred up its ferocity as it charged straight through the rain of needles.

Su Xiaobai roared, expanded once more, and pounced on the tiger. The two tore into each other.

On the other side, Grantis was completely suppressed. Her body was sent flying again like a cannonball, crashing through a large stretch of forest.

The amount of blood around her rapidly dwindled. She needed it to heal her wounds while attacking and defending. Even though she had just drained most of the giant python's blood, it was no longer enough against the python, which only grew stronger as it fought.

The falcon cried out again and took to the air. Its sharp gaze turned downward, toward the Black Mist below.

It flapped its wings, whipping up a fierce gale that formed a tornado of wind blades. It swept across the ground, slicing through everything in its path.

The Black Mist field was too much of a hindrance, and it was constantly draining their life force. It wanted to destroy this field first!

Once the Black Mist field was destroyed, Su Li would immediately be crushed.

Su Li's deception had worked. There was no domain card here at all; the Black Mist field could not be destroyed.

But in Bai Moxue's eyes, Su Li had never left this place. The domain card had to be here.

Su Li held his ground, erecting earthen walls in every direction to confuse the enemy.

The situation seemed extremely unfavorable for him.

"Su Li is going to lose!" someone concluded.

"That fox card is pretty good," a girl commented. It could act cute in peace and battle fierce tigers in war.

Su Li remained unruffled as he drew a card.

[Adele's Parasol]

This card should have been used as enhancement material for Grantis, but there was no time.

Su Li had not used it during the probing phase. Now, he caught them off guard.

The card turned into a beam of light and flew before Grantis, transforming into a delicate and beautiful little parasol.

"Hehehe." Grantis giggled. Her mind had never been quite normal.

The white-haired vampire girl reached out and took the parasol, gently opening it. Like an exquisite, elegant young lady from a wealthy family, she walked through the bloodshed utterly out of place.

She lightly snapped her fingers, and the blood around her began to bubble and surge.

The giant python hissed, sensing danger. It pressed itself against the ground and tried to slither away from the vampire girl.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The giant python screamed. More than a dozen blood spears burst from the earth, nailing it upside down to the ground. The blood spears, which had previously only been able to cut its skin, now pierced straight through its body.

This was the effect of [Adele's Parasol], enhancing the quality of Grantis's blood.

Grantis, who had activated Blood Frenzy, had already been close to high Bronze rank. Now, she stepped into that realm.

At the same time, thanks to the parasol, Grantis's blood manipulation became even stronger, allowing her to control blood from much farther away.

Blood sprayed as the giant python struggled, splashing a huge shower of crimson. The blood spears were incomparably hard, leaving it unable to break free.

Bai Moxue's spiritual jade trembled as she communicated with [Hundred Beasts Forest] once more, activating another skill of the domain card.

Beast Tide!

In an instant, the ground of Hundred Beasts Forest began to shake violently. A herd of beasts was stampeding.

Hundreds of wild beasts charged toward Grantis from every direction.

"Hehehehe." Grantis let out a wildly abnormal laugh. She spun her parasol, and tons of blood poured from it.

The skill of [Adele's Parasol].

Blood Tide!

With Grantis at its center, a scarlet ocean raised terrifying waves in every direction, washing over everything nearby.

The beasts cried out in terror as they were swallowed by the sea of blood.

This should have been Bai Moxue's killing blow—three great beasts leading the other creatures in a Beast Tide—but Grantis completely countered it, turning them into nourishment for her blood.

Grantis endlessly drained the beasts of their blood. The blood waves grew fiercer and fiercer, and she became stronger the longer she fought!
