Chapter 106: 106 Chang’e Flees to the Moon_1
Hou Yi’s sure-hit arrow failed to take effect, and the opposing team was stunned for a moment.
Mo Liqing’s sudden use of the earth wall also left Chen Yunbai stunned.
A Defense Card? No wonder.
Shi Qi reacted very quickly. After being boosted by Ruan Chunen, she immediately took advantage of the Red Cotton Seed not being controlled to start planting seeds. Although she wasn’t as adept with this card as Wen Jiang, she had her own skillful operations; instantly rolling out dozens of seeds wasn’t difficult for her.
If her main body was targeted by Hou Yi again, she could also control the seeds that had already flown out.
Chen Runyu’s reaction was also extremely fast. As the earth wall was about to disappear, he immediately switched to his water state. A giant tidal wave began to slowly erupt, instantly flooding the entire battlefield and making it almost impossible for anyone to avoid.
Chen Yunbai’s Assassin Card couldn’t determine the wave’s attribute and had to retreat a few steps.
A dual-state card?
The opposing player realized something was wrong. His face soured for an instant before he quickly adjusted his strategy. Hou Yi drew his bow and shot again, this time aiming directly for Mo Liqing.
Chen Runyu was just about to switch to a third state when he was controlled. Fortunately, the giant wave had already rolled out and wouldn’t disappear. Hou Yi didn’t target the Red Cotton Seed this time, so Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to plant seeds.
Their team’s cards wouldn’t affect the seeds’ effectiveness. The Guiqing Association’s control player immediately began to release a card’s toxic gas. This manifested as a monster wearing a terrifying mask. Its body was decaying, and it could drop mud-like substances that polluted the entire field.
This substance moved very quickly. Once it stuck to a Card Spirit, the Card Spirit would attack indiscriminately, unable to distinguish friend from foe. However, the substance was easily eliminated—just like Dandelion seeds, a single fire could burn it all away.
The reason they hadn’t released it immediately was that everyone was still observing, and the likelihood of it being eliminated was too high. Seeing Mo Liqing’s tidal wave approaching, they knew if they didn’t release it now, it would be too late.
But as soon as their control player released the skill, he found that the mud monsters merged into the waves and ultimately disappeared without a trace.
His face turned green.
The tidal wave was still spreading, almost unavoidable. Coach Guiqing grabbed his hair, nearly having a stroke in frustration. "If I’d known, I wouldn’t have brought two Defense Cards!!!"
"Damn it! Now we can only stand here and take the hit!"
He had never even considered the possibility that Hou Yi’s attacks could be dodged!
By then, Hou Yi’s second arrow had already been shot, but Chen Runyu wasn’t panicked.
Indeed, as Changer chuckled softly, the sharp arrow was swallowed up once more.
Chen Yunbai’s assassin was pushed back by both the tidal wave and the Dandelion seeds. Seeing the red cotton flowers from the Red Cotton Seed advancing with the wave, Chen Yunbai immediately roared at Hou Yi, "Shoot Changer, damn it! Shoot Changer!!"
That Changer is a huge problem!
They had never considered the pre-ascension Changer a threat before. She timed her skills perfectly with Hou Yi’s attacks. Although she still couldn’t completely block the damage, Ruan Chunen’s boosts meant it caused hardly any trouble.
Once Changer was targeted, she naturally couldn’t move either. Wen Jiang simply chuckled. He was immobilized, but Mo Liqing, now freed from restraint, immediately switched to his fire state. Intense flames instantly burned a path between the two teams. The terrifyingly fierce blaze forced the assassin, who hadn’t yet rejoined his team, to the other side.
He was isolated.
Chen Yunbai immediately realized the danger.
Coach Guiqing swore loudly, "Damn it! What the hell is with this fire?!"
"Water, fire, and earth! Is there any logic to this?!"
Chen Runyu coughed.
Mo Liqing’s waves were still unrelenting, and his spiritual power kept depleting. Such consumption was terrifying. But the advantage was that the waves were unstoppable. Soon, all five of the opponent’s Card Spirits would be engulfed, turning into live targets for the Red Cotton Seed’s life-draining attacks.
The moment Chen Yunbai was isolated, Shi Qi immediately commanded the Red Cotton Seeds to latch onto him. However, Chen Yunbai reacted swiftly, and the Red Cotton Seeds barely touched him.
However, the Dandelion seeds also began to spread, and their large clumps of white fluff affected Chen Yunbai’s vision as he was merged with his Card Spirit.
He reacted with remarkable speed, turning and instantly teleporting back to assassinate the Red Cotton Seed. He moved so fast he went straight through the waves.
This came as a pleasant surprise to Chen Yunbai.
At least there’s a way to avoid these waves.
With a sweep of his scythe, he aimed for the Red Cotton Seed’s head. His speed was incredible. With the Red Cotton Seed’s main body unable to move, it was an easy target with no card to block the attack—a virtually guaranteed hit.
This time, he was ruthless. The moment the scythe fell, only the sound of a sonic boom could be heard. The Card Spirit moved with terrifying speed; ordinary Spirit Card Masters would find it difficult to determine whether he was attacking the Red Cotton Seed or the Dandelion. Or rather, it was difficult to predict exactly when he would strike.
But as the scythe fell, Chen Yunbai once again smelled that sweet scent in the air, the taste of happiness... Indeed beautiful—Beautiful my ass! Fucking hell, are you equipped with radar?!!!
In his heart, Chen Yunbai cursed Wen Jiang three thousand times.
He watched as his Card Spirit’s strike landed, yet it dealt no damage to the Red Cotton Seed.
Dodging Hou Yi’s sharp arrows, and now dodging my assassination attempt as well.
Chen Yunbai’s composure shattered. He couldn’t accept losing to his younger cousin’s team. His eyes reddened as he forcefully stimulated his spiritual power to unleash a barrage of attacks.
Damn it, let’s see you block this time! Without a card directly controlling my assassin, this Red Cotton Seed is a sitting duck!
But he had overlooked Mo Liqing.
Before he could land more than a couple of hits, several slicing wind blades suddenly shot towards him. Red Cotton Seeds quickly adhered to his Card Spirit, and combined with the Dandelion seeds’ obscuring effect, Chen Yunbai’s Assassin Card was struck squarely by a wind blade.
Assassin-type Card Spirits are inherently fragile. At this moment, his Card Spirit wobbled precariously.
Thankfully, their team had brought a Support Card, and a timely heal saved him. Chen Yunbai dared not attack again and immediately retreated to a safe corner.
But seeing the spreading Dandelion seeds and red cotton flowers, a chill went down his spine.
And when the Guiqing Association’s team members saw the wind blades emerge, their composure shattered once again.
Coach Guiqing roared, "How is there wind now?!!!!"
"A single card with four states—defense, control, and it can even attack! Why don’t you just ascend to heaven?!"
As the waves closed in, the lament of Changer, the Moon Goddess, began to rise from the center of the arena. A giant, luminous moon suddenly appeared in the sky. To the naked eye, one could almost see the majestic Cold Palace on the Moon upon that luminous sphere.
While Changer cried out for Hou Yi, her body began to ascend uncontrollably.
Changer began her ascent to the moon.
Even in broad daylight, the bright moonlight began to blanket the land, coating every Card Spirit in a layer of silvery light. As this diamond-like radiance shimmered, Changer lamented in the sky, and the waves finally crashed into the Guiqing Association’s team.
