Strange Cards

Chapter 434 The Path Chosen

Da Niu forced a smile through his frozen lips, and then a burst of high temperature melted the frost off their bodies.

"Bang!!!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and a mushroom-shaped cloud of black smoke rose directly from Pamp's body.

This was, after all, the self-destruction power produced by the pinnacle of human technology. Even though Pamp was a terrifying being of natural disaster level, it still caused him considerable damage.

As Qi Wu, piloting the Remnant Fire mech, watched the exploding Hunter God mech and the two red dots that vanished instantly on the electronic map, his eyes turned red.

Qi Wu had experienced far too many times his comrades dying in front of him.

Why?

Why?!

The extreme pain stimulated Qi Wu's spirit, and the mental energy that was stimulated by the pain was also frantically increasing the power within Qi Wu's body.

Qi Wu's power soon achieved a second breakthrough, but the pain of being crushed by ghostly power brought about by the breakthrough was far less than one ten-thousandth of the pain of losing his companions.

Qi Wu's power, with its bloodshot eyes, continued to surge, even touching the edge of a near-disaster.

Qi Wu looked at the heavily injured Pang Pu and slowly raised his right hand.

The remnant fire mech on Qi Wu's body quickly flipped and contracted, converging on his right hand to form a huge cannon barrel.

Even when the surrounding temperature dropped below 100 degrees Celsius, Qi Wu, who was no longer protected by the Remnant Fire Mech, did not feel cold at all.

Because the anger in Qi Wu's heart had burned him inside and out.

Just as Qi Wu was about to launch, an attack came from the shadows, its target being Qi Wu's heart.

Seeing that he was about to be attacked by Qi Wu, Shi Yu knew that it was too late for him to take out the Great Book and transform into the Requiem for Salvation.

Shi Yu, wielding the Sin Sword, smashed open the Sinner's Aria at her waist, slipped through the black hole, and stood in front of Qi Wu.

The sword of sin was placed horizontally in front of Shigure, blocking the attack.

However, because the attack was concentrated into a line, it directly blasted Qi Wu and Shi Yu in their basic form away.

The two collided in mid-air and fell to different places.

The Sin Sword and the Demon Blade in Qi Wu's hands seemed to be waiting for a choice.

Shigure clutched her chest, looking in the direction from which the attack was coming.

Seeing the figure wearing the clown mask, Shigure's anger flared up once again.

Tsubaki immediately realized that Shigure was not right. She used her eyes to cast an illusion to forcibly stabilize Shigure's mind, and then used smoke to bring a faint fragrance to soothe Shigure's mind.

Chun looked at the masked Joker, whose long, slender sword instantly appeared in his hand, and muttered curses under her breath.

"Fuck you, haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

"You damn well better die!"

As Chun spoke, she directly picked up a longsword and, with her half-step Calamity level strength, forcefully manipulated the Joker, whose strength had reached the Calamity level.

Fortunately, when Shigure lost his way last time, he was completely crushed by Joker, which meant that Joker's strength hadn't recovered yet, and he's barely on par with Tsubaki now.

Seeing this, Gu Nian didn't wait any longer. He took out his Joker and armed it to the back of his hand, then used the power of fate in reverse.

After being swallowed by the torrent of fate, Pamp's combat power plummeted, and even his fighting ability became much slower.

Whenever an attack was about to hit Gu Nian, something strange would appear to block it for Gu Nian, and then Pang Pu's attack would hit him hard.

After his own attack struck him, Pamp suffered at least a severed arm, but at that moment, he felt the power of the torrent of destiny within him.

Seeing this, Pamp knew that if he didn't go all out, he would really lose his life, so he pushed his core power of the extreme cold catastrophe to its limit.

Just when another extreme cold snap was expected, the ice and snow melted rapidly, quickly revealing a lush green world.

As Pomp looked at the power that had been completely compressed back into the core, his huge black eyes were filled with terror.

Gu Nian, holding the Tears of Worship in his hand, stood in front of Pang Pu and said.

"As the first natural disaster to appear, your strength truly inspires despair."

"As an extreme cold disaster, it can trigger a global cold wave by itself, and almost froze the planet by itself."

I admit you're very strong.

"However..."

"Your time has come to an end."

As he spoke, Gu Nian pushed the Tear of Worship forward, while Pang Pujianzhuang condensed countless extremely thick ice shields in front of his chest, trying to block the Tear of Worship in Gu Nian's hand.

But the tears in Gu Nian's hand were like a hot knife piercing butter; those ice shields that could withstand countless attacks were just decorations, easily pierced by the tears.

After Bai Lei pierced Pang Pu's body, it instantly unleashed a terrifying killing power. Pang Pu's tall upper body was directly cleaved away by Gu Nian's blade, smashing through the ice on the ocean and falling into the sea.

On the remaining half of Pamp's body was a snowflake-like core. Joker, seeing the snowflake-like core, ignored Chun's attack and flew over to snatch the core before disappearing into the world.

"You bastard! Don't run away!"

"I'll fight you three hundred rounds today!"

Just as Chun was about to catch up with Joker by following his breath, Gu Nian reached out and stopped Chun.

"There's no need to chase after him. Let him take that core spark of the natural disaster and leave."

"The most important aspect of a 'pig butchering scam' is giving the victim a glimmer of hope."

"There is no hope left, or only the faintest glimmer of hope."

"I think a gambler driven to desperation would definitely choose the latter."

Gu Nian then led Chun away from there, and the remaining otherworldly beings also left one after another.

In this battle, seven hunters were killed or injured.

The arrival of a natural disaster made matters worse for the already small number of hunters.

Although Luo Yushang and Ji Xuan were seriously injured, they were fortunate enough to survive.

The entire southern base is once again facing a shortage of personnel.

Qi Wu looked at Shi Yu, who had already walked up to the two weapons, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

As Shigure looked at the crossed swords and the savage blade, he reached out to grasp his own weapon, but his hand involuntarily reached for the savage blade instead.

Qi Wu stared blankly at Shi Yu, while Shi Yu stared blankly at her outstretched hand.

However, in the end, Shigure did not choose to draw the evil sword that represented the past.

Instead, he drew the sword representing the present, walked into the black hole, and disappeared from there.

As Qi Wu gradually calmed down, his ghostly power slowly returned to normal. After pulling out the evil blade, Qi Wu collapsed on the spot due to exhaustion and completely lost consciousness.

"Qi Wu!"

"Boss Qi Wu!"

Hearing someone call him "boss," a glimmer of expectation stirred deep within Qi Wu's already unconscious mind.

But from now on...

No one can respond to this expectation anymore.
