Strange Cards

Chapter 319 Time Stop

Liu An looked at Qi Wu, who was frying starch sausage, and was about to say something when Qi Wu spoke first.

"We don't need to go."

"You know how fast that kid's Remnant Fire Mech is. If we really get there in time, he'll have already chopped them up into dumplings and eaten them."

"As long as he's not a local, he can do whatever he wants. I'll even hand him a pole if he makes a hole in the sky."

"Even if he were a fellow countryman, I believe this kid would have his reasons for killing someone."

"He is a demon, but he never craved blood."

"He said that Shura's sword is only used to protect those he loves, and every time he draws his sword, there is a reason."

"Don't worry about it."

Liu An sat in a chair looking at the sky when Sanhua walked over with cat-like steps, lightly leaped onto Liu An's lap, and nestled there.

Liu An held the cat in her arms, seemingly lost in thought.

……

"Is this the place?"

Shi Yu looked at the magnificent castle before him, Steel Claw nodded, and then Shi Yu took out the Ten of Spades, fused them together, and snapped his fingers.

"Time, stand still."

Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted centered on Shigure herself.

Shigure, using his location as the center, directly stopped time in the entire British Empire.

Shigure himself did not expect that he had stopped time in such a large area; he thought he had only stopped time in this castle and the area around it.

Shiyu looked at the birds frozen in the sky and slowly walked into the castle.

As Shigure's contracted demon, Steel Claw, he could naturally move around in the world where time had stopped. As the two walked, they frowned as they looked at the two knights holding golden spears in front of the castle gate.

"One minute..."

"Without entering the enhanced state of Royal Flush, I can only stop with the Ten of Spades for a minute."

"I can stop with a royal flush for at least ten minutes, and with a spade flush, it can even stop for half an hour."

"If it's the entire Spade series, then it'll be at least an hour..."

The two knights on guard naturally saw Shigure and Steel Claw approaching, and pointed their spears at them, shouting angrily.

"Who goes there?"

"Stop advancing now, or we will take action."

"We are the Royal Knights of the British Empire, and we have the authority to take action against a range of individuals who are detrimental to the British royal family."

Shi Yu looked at the two men holding long spears, and feeling their weak auras, waved his hand in boredom.

"Steel Claws".

Steel Claw gave a soft "hmm," and then left a blood-red claw mark between its five fingers.

The claw mark severed both knights in half at the waist, and blood even splattered onto Shigure's combat uniform.

However, the combat suit is bloodproof, so the blood that splashed onto Shigure's combat suit could only turn into droplets and roll off to the ground.

Shigure handed over the power of the Ten of Spades to Steel Claw and said calmly.

"I entrust the power of the Ten of Spades to you."

"Let's see how many seconds you can stay still."

Steel Claw nodded, stretched out its arms, and roared loudly.

"Time stop!"

Soon, an aura similar to Shigure erupted from Steel Claw.

At that moment, the clock began to tick, but it stopped very quickly.

"One second passed."

Shigure walked slowly forward. As one of the two users of the Ten of Spades, Shigure was naturally able to move around in the world where time had stopped.

Two seconds passed.

Three seconds passed.

Four seconds have passed.

Shigure counted silently in his mind, then kicked the castle gate open.

Five seconds passed.

Six seconds have passed.

Shiyu was calculating when she suddenly laughed.

"Not bad, at least it took longer than that golden-haired vampire to stop before he drank blood."

Seven seconds have passed.

Eight seconds have passed.

Nine seconds have passed.

"..."

Ten seconds passed.

The moment Shigure announced that ten seconds had passed, the time stop was lifted. At that moment, the royal knights patrolling the castle naturally saw Shigure and Steel Claw suddenly appear.

Without a word, these men charged at the two men, weapons in hand.

Steel Claw was about to tear off his clothes and reveal his ghostly appearance, but Shigure raised his hand to stop Steel Claw and took the evil sword from his back.

"Wait a while and keep using Time Stop until you can use it without cards."

As Shi Yu spoke, he gripped the sheath with one hand and drew the blood-red blade of the Demon Blade with the other.

Soon, a black and white aura emanated from Shiyu, and the surrounding world turned black and white as well.

Shigure looked at the royal knights charging towards him and only swung his sword once.

With just this one strike, all the royal knights around him were killed.

Even without using the Mysterious Cards, Shigure is still a top-tier powerhouse. After all, Shigure possesses the powers of many Mysterious Cards, and with the help of Shura, Shigure is guaranteed to be at least a level four hunter.

After defeating the royal knights patrolling the castle, the man and the ghost pushed open the main gate of the castle and slowly walked in.

The human and the ghost stepped onto the handcrafted, expensive red carpet and looked at the people around them, speaking in a cold voice.

"They knew we were coming and evacuated everyone inside beforehand."

"But how can it be of any use?"

Shigure activated the Spade Ten Flow ability once again, but instead of moving time forward or pausing it, he reversed time on a small scale.

"Time begins to flow backward."

But only five minutes of time had been reversed before Shigure found that his demonic power seemed to have been completely drained.

This is of course normal, since reversing time is definitely more difficult than accelerating time.

Watching the people return as if in slow motion, Shigure instructed Steel Claw to kill them all. Then he entered a library.

There is a fish tank in the library, and among the goldfish in it, there is a goldfish that has turned belly up.

Shigure used a short-range time reversal on the goldfish that had turned belly up, but found that the goldfish did not come back to life.

Shi Yu immediately became interested and began a series of experiments while holding the tank of goldfish.

Meanwhile, Steel Claw swept through all the survivors inside the building, except for one door in the auditorium, which Steel Claw never managed to enter.

Because Steel Claw knew that the real battlefield was inside.

……

Shi Yu looked at the tank of dead goldfish and burned them all to ashes with a Shura Karmic Fire.

"Only those who survive after being injured can reverse the flow of time."

Those who suffer severe injuries cannot reverse time; they will only walk the path to death.

"Even those who survive will inevitably suffer for other reasons, even if time flows backward; this is still unavoidable."

"I never imagined that cause and effect would still occur even if time were reversed, only in a different way."

At this moment, all of Shiyu's shadows came to this tall building to help Shiyu kill people, and soon the entire tall building was filled with the smell of blood.

Shigure withdrew his shadow and, with his steel claws, knocked on the final door.

Inside the gate sat a group of people exuding an air of nobility, all wearing crowns on their heads. Their demeanor was quite out of place with Shigure, who was dressed in combat uniform, and Steel Claw, who was in a suit.

If they all possessed an aura of royalty, then Shigure and Steel Claw possessed only a pure and absolute aura: killing intent.

"Hey everyone, eating here?"

"How about we eat somewhere else? It's on me."

"However, there are no inns on the road between Yin and Yang, so you should set off as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, no one will keep you here in the middle of the night."

"you..."

Just as a little princess wearing a crown was about to speak, Shigure used the power of reconstruction to conjure a pistol without hesitation and shot her dead in the chair.

"You have no right to speak here, sweetheart."

"Just lie down and rest."

Then, three shots were fired in quick succession, hitting a spot on the high chair behind the little princess and knocking it over.

At this moment, a woman with white hair and beard, sitting in the main seat, spoke up.

"Your Highness, the Most Evil Asura."

"I don't understand why you would target our British royal princess?"

Shi Yu looked at the Queen sitting in the main seat and a strange smile appeared on her lips.

"Didn't I warn you?"

"Or do you really think I can't extinguish the sun of your British Empire?"

"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
