The battle was drawing to a close. Only a handful of Card Adepts remained in the sky; everyone else had been killed or injured in the fierce fighting. Blood seeped from the corner of Tian Tian's mouth, and that pale face looked uncannily eerie. Uncle Zheng's face had darkened, and a careful observer could even have seen his right hand trembling slightly. Kai was hardly any better off. His eyes bulged with fury, but deep exhaustion showed through. By comparison, Yu Guo was in much better shape. Though his clothes had long since been torn to shreds, both his expression and his complexion looked considerably better. What Chen Mu admired most was his gaze. To keep his eyes so calm after fighting for so long was truly formidable.

Only seven or eight Card Adepts remained in Hao Yi's group. Two Card Adepts worked together, prowling around them and inflicting devastating losses. Their experience was still too shallow: watching the left meant neglecting the right, and watching the front meant neglecting the rear. In mere moments, they suffered heavy casualties. Hao Yi looked stricken, yet there was nothing he could do. Had he been at full strength, he could have dealt with those two Card Adepts alone. Now, however, not only was his physical strength exhausted, but he had not a scrap of Perception left either.

The Far-Viewing Device captured everything with extraordinary clarity. Chen Mu could see their every movement, even the smallest changes in their expressions. What inspired wonder was that the light screen projected by the Far-Viewing Device was scarcely larger than a fingernail, yet it sat at precisely the most comfortable spot before his eyes. Not only could he see everything clearly, but wearing it for a long time caused no strain.
