Chapter 284: The Desolation Card!!!

In the group of ancient tombs.

Zou Shenglong felt somewhat worried.

It had not been very long since Lu Ming used the card. But for unknown reasons, in this strange atmosphere, he felt that it was ages ago since he had used the card…

It was as if several centuries had passed.

He could not be bothered anymore!

There was a cold glitter in his eyes.

Regardless of what card it was, he should get rid of Lu Ming first!

Shush!

Lights and shadow surged.

He decided to bring Lu Ming under control before the card effect was released. However, just when he mustered his attack, the ground suddenly collapsed!

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

An enormous figure rushed out from the ground.

Bang!

The ground collapsed.

A humongous black figure blocked his vision…

“Oh no!”

Zou Shenglong’s countenance changed.

Shush!

Lights and shadow flashed around him and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was forced to stop his attack. He stared in shock at the huge figure that climbed out from underground…

What was this?

Lu Ming was wearing a dumbstruck expression as well.

The Desolation Card…

In general, it would tear down everything.

Therefore…

Lu Ming could more or less tell the effect of this card. The card must have even more powerful demolishing effects!

Lu Ming’s aim was to tear down the entire group of ancient tombs!

He wanted to destroy everything here!

But…

What was this thing?

Lu Ming looked bewildered.

Before his eyes…

A five to six meter tall huge figure emerged from underground. It had sharp eyes, two shuttle-like sharp horns at the top of the head. It looked like a human and a beast. There was a rich glow all around it!

…

What was that?

Lu Ming was clueless.

However…

He might be clueless, this did not mean others were clueless as well. For example, Classmate Zou Shenglong was dazed when he saw the appearance of the creature.

“This…

“How is this possible?”

Loud sounds boomed in Zou Shenglong’s mind!

Just at that instant…

Information passed down from many generations of ancestors flashed across his mind…

Sharp eyes, shuttle-like horns… this was the Guardian Divine Bull of their sect. It had fought till its last moment for the sect and died there!

This was what he had heard.

According to the analysis of various Zou Shenglong’s seniors…

The Guardian Divine Bull was a very special and rare species. It could aid them in their cultivation. It was a perfect fit with their vocation. If there was a chance…

They had to find another Guardian Divine Bull!

It was a pity.

This species had been extinct for several years…

Therefore, they were firm believers in the bull and they always treated the picture of this bull as their totem and faith. He never expected that he would see a Guardian Divine Bull again!

This…

How could that be possible?!

Lu Ming was able to summon the Guardian Divine Bull?!

No!

This was wrong!

Zou Shenglong came to his senses very soon. He swept his gaze over the Guardian Divine Bull and realized to his horror that there was an axe hanging from the Divine Bull’s body…

The bull’s body was cut through.

The divine bull was expressionless…

Oh.

It was dead.

Zou Shenglong came to his senses.

Therefore…

This was even more shocking!

Zou Shenglong turned green. The divine bull that died thousand years ago had crawled out from underneath the ground! Lu Ming, that bastard, what had he done?!

Could this have been the legendary skill of excavating someone’s ancestral tomb?!

No.

Damn! This was excavating the bull’s ancestral tomb!

This was too much!

…

Moo—

The Guardian Divine Bull bellowed.

It looked mighty.

Zou Shenglong was dazed. It did not make a move and it did not sense any threat or receive any instructions. It stayed rooted on the spot.

It squatted in place wearing a dazed look.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Oh.

It turned out that the Desolation Card would summon such a bull.

Lu Ming was disappointed.

Seriously…

Since when was a Demolition Card so weak?

A one-star Bulls Card was barbaric and fierce. A two-star Demolition Card wiped out all the lower level opponents. A three-star Burial Mound Card tore down an island. But the four-star Desolation Card…

It merely summoned a bull?!

Look.

Although it was large in size, no energy surged around it!

It was not powerful and mighty at all.

And…

It did not seem to be intelligent. It did not launch an attack but squatted down with a dazed look…

It was very weak!

That was what not Lu Ming had in mind.

True enough.

This kind of card was purely based on one’s luck. This was merely a foolish bull…

“What rubbish is this…”

Lu Ming sighed.

Opposite him.

Zou Shenglong exploded in anger!

“Rubbish?

“You are rubbish!”

This was the Guardian Divine Bull of their sect!

Lu Ming was too much. He used a mysterious method to summon the Guardian Divine Bull, but then disliked it!

It was fine if he had launched an attack but the Guardian Divine Bull that the card had summoned was standing there foolishly.

This was plain humiliation!

Yes.

This was humiliation!

That feeling…

This was like saying he knew that this was their Guardian Divine Bull, but what could they do about it? He summoned it purely to humiliate it.

Who could take it?

If this could be endured what could not be!

How could he take it lying down when the corpse of their Guardian Divine Bull had been flogged publicly?!

“Lu Ming!

“You are courting death!”

Zou Shenglong was extremely furious.

His murderous intentions were obvious.

To hell with Lu Yan…

To hell with the future…

Damn all of those!

Right then…

He had an urge to kill Lu Ming!

All along, he had no intention to kill Lu Ming due to Lu Yan and wished that he had a better future. He wanted to control Lu Ming.

However…

There was no need for that.

Lu Ming was too much!

If this went on, heaven knew what would appear in the end?

Therefore…

He was bent on killing him.

Bang!

Lights and shadows condensed.

“This is our Guardian Divine Bull!

“It has meritorious achievements. It is our deity. It is this powerful yet you dare humiliate it?!”

Zou Shenglong was furious.

Bang!

A powerful force condensed.

He appeared across from Lu Ming, revealing only a shadow as he charged toward him.

Shush!

Remnants of lights appeared.

Infinite glory shone above the group of ancient tombs and condensed into a beam of light. A dividing light seemed to cut through the huge cave, separating heaven and Earth!

A line cut through heaven and Earth!

The effect was shocking!

Afterward…

“Moo!”

There was a faint sound.

The line that cut through heaven and Earth was interrupted and it was sent flying back by a pair of kicking hooves…

Pfft!

He spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

Zou Shenglong was blasted away…

Shush!

There was total silence.

…

Lu Ming was dumbstruck. He did not come to his senses.

What had just happened?

Oh.

Right.

He was lamenting about the rubbish bull when Zou Shenglong exploded in fury. He wanted to correct him regarding this bull and came charging over…

Afterward…

He was sent flying back again.

However…

Although it was not as successful in correcting him as he would have liked, the result was the same…

“Amazing!”

Lu Ming exclaimed.

This bull is very powerful!!!

What did Zou Shenglong say just now?

Oh.

That was right.

Guardian Divine Bull!

“This is indeed a Guardian Divine Bull!”

Lu Ming exclaimed.

…

In front of him…

Among the tombs…

Zou Shenglong got up with much difficulty. He almost spat a mouthful of blood after hearing Lu Ming’s sighs.

He was too much of a bully!

And…

This bull…

Zou Shenglong squinted and gathered some clues.

“Why did you summon the Guardian Divine Bull?”

Zou Shenglong suddenly asked.

Lu Ming was silent because he did not know how to answer.

To hell with it.

He had no idea why the Desolation Card summoned a so-called Guardian Divine Bull. Perhaps, it was because of the bull itself?

“Why did you call it the Guardian Divine Bull?” Lu Ming asked.

“Because this is our Guardian Divine Bull from thousands of years ago!”

Zou Shenglong looked solemn. “It used to fight for us and it died here. It bears the imprint of glory and honor on its body!”

“Died here…”

Lu Ming’s heart stirred slightly.

Perhaps…

This was the reason!?

This was the function of the Desolation Card? It could summon a bull-like beast in a specific area, regardless of whether it was dead or alive?!

Of course.

If there were no bull-related beasts in this area, he might not be able to summon anything.

Therefore…

In essence, it was still dependent on luck!

This card used different methods as the Burial Mound Card, but reached the same result.

Of course.

It still had to be tested to see whether it had this effect.

Lu Ming knew more about the new card. However, Zou Shenglong who had no wish to waste time talking to him just now suddenly took the initiative to communicate with him again…

Faint light particles appeared around him.

Lu Ming suddenly realized that the Guardian Divine Bull was starting to collapse and disintegrate!

“True enough.”

Zou Shenglong’s lips curled to form a smile.

“The Guardian Divine Bull is so powerful, there is no way you can control it. Even if it is reborn to become a weak Guardian Divine Bull, you still won’t be able to handle it…

“Haha.”

Once your miserly energy is depleted, the Guardian Divine Bull will disappear…”

Zou Shenglong smiled.

Hidden trump card?

That’s ridiculous!

This move might be powerful, but it can only be used once!

No.

It is not even equivalent to one strike!

Once the opponent knows the effect of the move, he can dodge it and wait until it disintegrates. All one needs to do is to avoid confrontations with it.

What backup does Lu Ming have?

“Haha.”

Surging lights surrounded Zou Shenglong.

Shush!

He struck again.

“This time…

“I won’t you give you another chance…”

Swoosh!

He turned into a flash of light and dashed toward Lu Ming.

However…

Just when he was about to kill Lu Ming.

“Moo—”

He heard a familiar voice.

“Not good.”

Zou Shenglong’s heart skipped a beat.

Crash!

There was a deafening sound.

Zou Shenglong was sent flying out…

Bang!

He fell onto the tomb.

“You…”

He widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at the Guardian Divine Bull that had suddenly appeared next to him.

“Are you referring to this?”

Lu Ming smiled faintly.

Shush!

He lifted his hand and there were dozens of Desolation Cards in his hands.

Pfft!

Zou Shenglong spat out a mouthful of blood. There was a look of desperation in his eyes.

This…

This is too shameless?!

…

Lu Ming only smiled faintly.

The thing about being shameless…

Since he was very good-looking, he did not need to care about his pride!

Zou Shenglong was very powerful and it was impossible for Lu Ming to fight him head-on. However, he had chosen the wrong battlefield. In particular, why did his organization choose a bull to be their guardian divine beast out of that many creatures?

Tsk tsk…

This was indeed depressing!

He was the scapegoat of the decision made by his seniors a thousand years ago…

…

Bang!

The Guardian Divine Bull struck again and Zou Shenglong went flying out.

It was invincible!

There was exhaustion and blood in Zou Shenglong’s eyes.

He had a mission to complete…

He knew that…

Many people counted on him. However, he did not expect that in the end he would be driven to a corner by the Guardian Divine Bull of their sect!

Lu Ming…

He was indeed a devil!

It was a pity…

Zou Shenglong sighed.

“Lu Ming…

“You forced me to do this…”

Bang!

There was a ball of illusory flames surging around him.

It began to burn.

It surged continuously.

…

“This is…”

Lu Ming’s countenance changed. “Burning of Life?!”

Yes.

Burning of Life!

Lu Ming did not expect that Zou Shenglong had this ability as well!

Damn it!!!

Did the entire organization have plug-ins?

Burning of Life…

What did burning of life mean for a Six-star?

Lu Ming dared not think further!

…

Bang!

Amid the burning flames, Zou Shenglong’s aura became more and more terrifying. The wrinkles in the corner of his eyes increased and his ability kept increasing!!!

His level was increasing!

It kept increasing!

His aura kept churning!

Beginner six-star!

Intermediate six-star!

Bang!

Zou Shenglong’s aura was surging and churning.

Lu Ming did not dare to touch the terrifying aura.

“Lights! Explode!”

Zou Shenglong raised his hand again.

Shush!

A ball of condensed lights and shadows charged toward Lu Ming.

…

Shush!

Lu Ming summoned a Guardian Divine Bull without any hesitation.

Bang!

Lights and shadows erupted.

The Guardian Divine Bull that had immense power was destroyed on the spot by a ball of lights and shadows, turning into countless light particles, disappearing into the air!

…

Bang!

Zou Shenglong began burning again.

“Lights! Explode!”

He cast the same attack again.

…

“Damn it!”

Lu Ming clenched his teeth.

Shush!

Another Guardian Divine Bull appeared.

The Guardian Divine Bull was the only thing right now that was able to give him a sense of security.

However…

Bang!

Bang!

Every time the Guardian Divine Bull appeared, a ball of terrifying condensed lights would explode. Zou Shenglong kept burning his life and increasing his ability!

Afterward…

He continued to slash at him!

Finally.

Lu Ming had depleted all his cards and he could not summon the so-called Guardian Divine Bulls anymore. Zou Shenglong who was opposite him looked twenty years older.

He seemed to be dying soon.

…

Do you still have any more cards?”

Zou Shenglong sounded hoarse.

He knew that he would win this battle.

Despite the price, he was victorious!

He had completed his mission!

As long as he controlled Lu Ming and replenished the sinister aura, the thousand-year-old array could be activated. Their destiny would come to a perfect end.

Right now, he had a clear view of what was going on.

Lu Ming had no more cards left. He had no more energy as well.

…

“Is it worth it?”

Lu Ming sighed.

Burning of Life…

True enough, it was impossible to control this thing!

Therefore…

After Zou Shenglong was done with it, it was his turn?

He sensed the energy within his body and could not help but mock himself. He had just learned the skill. Although he was not as skilled, he should be able to do it…

Well…

He had to try his best.

This was merely burning his life.

Come on!

Shush!

Lu Ming was determined.

In fact, he could choose to leave.

Seriously…

Regardless of whether he escaped or went to the World of Darkness and Shadows of Brother Cat, Lu Ming believed he could leave. However, what was the point of him leaving like that?!

Once the array was activated, everything would become nothing!

It only made sense to kill Zou Shenglong!

Even if he had to use… Burning of Life!

Whoosh!

A familiar aura appeared.

“Come on!

“Let’s see who has a longer life.”

Lu Ming’s gaze was bright and burning.

“You know how to do this as well?”

Zou Shenglong’s heart jumped a beat and he suddenly understood. “Did you get it from someone else? Haha, I see. However, did you really think it would work?!

“You are too naive!

“One’s ability is the basis for Burning of Life!

“I am a six-star!

“As for you, you are only a four-star!”

Zou Shenglong laughed madly.

The thing about Burning of Life, he used to get many low level cultivators to try it.

Well…

They were after all at a lower level!

It was impossible to skip many levels through burning life, otherwise the Assassin organization had no need to cultivate. They could just rely on burning their lives!

Burning of Life was based on one’s power!

As for Lu Ming…

He was too weak.

Even if he burned all his life, at the very least he would be a five-star!

What was the use of that?!

However…

He could tell from this that Lu Ming had been driven to the corner. After all, Lu Ming would not think of using Burning of Life unless he was at his wit’s end!

In particular, Lu Ming had just learned how to use it!

…

“Let’s end this.”

A ball of lights emerged in Zou Shenglong’s hands.

Right then…

He had only burned part of his life.

This was because he was on his guard.

Lu Ming was a devil. Therefore, even at this stage, he had to be vigilant. He decided to use the explosion of lights that was sufficient to destroy the Guardian Divine Bull just now!!!

“I am sorry.

“You are too dangerous!

I don’t want you to make your comeback! So… I can’t let you live,” Zou Shenglong said coldly.

Even so, he still looked at Lu Ming cautiously, not putting his guard down.

Yes.

He focused all his attention on Lu Ming as well as all the possible angles that he might direct his attacks. He could not afford any accidents!

“You are very cautious. However, are you sure you can dodge my attacks?”

Lu Ming suddenly smiled.

Zou Shenglong felt the chills all over his body.

Right now…

He was slightly fearful of Lu Ming.

This guy was up to a lot of tricks.

Therefore…

He paid close attention to him!

Although Lu Ming used Burning of Life, he did not have any cards left. He believed that given him alone, he would not be able to make a comeback.

Wait a minute…

Cards!

Oh.

Right.

There was another card!

Zou Shenglong was distracted, looking at the card that was moving quietly at one corner. True enough, it was closing in on him…

As expected…

Lu Ming was very insidious.

He captured all his attention so that the card could make a sneak attack!

It was a pity!

He had discovered him!

It was impossible for this childish method to work on him…

Pfft!

There was a faint sound.

Zou Shenglong widened his eyes in shock.

He lowered his head.

There was a sword that had cut through his chest to his heart, piercing from the back through to the front…

Zou Shenglong looked bewildered.

How could…

Is this possible?!

He looked up instinctively. Lu Ming and the Original Card were in front of him…

The sword…

Shush!

He swept his mental strength over the surroundings.

He was shocked to discover that there was a teenager behind him. He was covered in blood, shaking terribly as he held the sword that pierced through him…

Zou Shenglong was puzzled.

Who was this man?

Why did he not see him?

Why was there someone else in the group of ancient tombs?

Why was it possible to get so close to him?!

No!

This was impossible!

He was a five-star. It was impossible to get near to him, especially when he had burned his life. No, it was impossible to get near him even before he burned his life…

Unless…

He had always been there and he did not move a single inch!

But…

How could this be possible?!

Bang!

Zou Shenglong dropped to the ground, with all his questions unanswered.

Damn world…

It was too unfair!
