Strange Cards

Chapter 481 The wind from the South China Sea is still the most comfortable.

"But that's all for now."

As Gu Nian spoke, he strode forward, used the hilt of Bai Lei's sword to knock the Xingjian sword out of Shi Yu's hand, and then grabbed the Xingjian sword.

Gu Nian drew all the strange spade cards from the Awakening Sword, threw them to Shi Yu, and then stuck Bai Lei into the ground.

Shi Yu looked at Gu Nian holding the Awakening Sword, and Gu Nian twirled his sword and charged straight at Shi Yu.

Amidst the flashing swords and shadows, Shi Yu, wielding a golden greatsword, was actually forcibly suppressed by Gu Nian, who was holding the Awakening Sword.

Gu Nian's rapiers moved like a dense drizzle, while his sweeping and parrying attacks were as heavy as mountains.

But Gu Nian always managed to stop just in time when he was about to deliver a heavy blow to Shi Yu, and then instead sent sparks flying from Shi Yu's armor.

Shi Yu knew that Gu Nian was holding back, and that Gu Nian was also teaching her martial arts.

This was also the first time Shi Yu had ever seen someone with stronger martial arts skills than himself. Even though Shi Yu possessed my own style, Qi Wu's martial arts style, Liu An's Ghost Killing Technique, and the Asura martial arts, he still couldn't beat Gu Nian.

Even with all four martial arts combined, they couldn't compare to Gu Nian's powerless Awakening Sword. Even though Shi Yu's weapon wasn't his most proficient saber but a golden greatsword, he still fell behind despite the combined power of the various martial arts techniques.

Shi Yu switched from offense to defense, no longer in a hurry to attack, but carefully studying Gu Nian's sword strikes before striking with the same sword strike again.

When Gu Nian saw that Shi Yu understood his intentions, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

Chun stood at a distance, letting the rain soak her entire body, still watching the outcome of this duel.

The two people facing off were very important to her, but she couldn't do anything about it as she was following the script.

We could only watch helplessly as they fought until a victor emerged.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Nian stabbed Shi Yu's body with a backhand sword, and then kicked Shi Yu away.

Gu Nian flipped over and drew the Mortal Blade, then pretended to gather his strength.

Gu Nian deactivated his armor form, then took out the Joker and poured all his power into the Mortal Blade in his hand.

A terrifying power, enough to tear the night sky apart, emanated from Gu Nian, and the surrounding rain turned blood red due to the scarlet aura emanating from the Tear of Worship in Gu Nian's hand.

Seeing this, Shigure took out all the Spades at once and threw them one by one into the greatsword in his hand.

As the giant sword announced the name of the inserted strange card one by one, each strange card fell to one side in front of Shigure, until all thirteen spade cards had fallen.

"It's all time to end this."

"yes!"

As Gu Nian spoke, he launched a sudden thrust towards Shi Yu. The blood-red blade tip even tore through the void, leaving only the red aura left by Gu Nian as he passed by.

Shigure rushed past each of the strange cards that fell, until he finally passed the Ace of Spades, at which point the aura of the golden greatsword in his hand had reached its peak.

Gu Nian slashed downwards towards Shi Yu, but Shi Yu dodged to the side and then slashed upwards towards Gu Nian's waist and abdomen.

Shi Yu watched as Gu Nian forcibly stopped his slash, but instead of defending, he planted the Mortal Blade in the ground.

"Bang!"

With a loud burst of golden light, Gu Nian was forcibly slashed out of his Joker fusion form and fell straight to the ground.

The Joker card also fell to the ground, relentlessly battered by the rain.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gu Nian, lying on the ground, showed no regret for his failure; instead, his face was full of a relieved smile.

Gu Nian forced himself to sit up, picked up the Joker card, and headed towards Shi Yu.

From Shi Yu's perspective, it was clear that Gu Nian's body had begun to slowly turn into light and dissipate.

Shigure deactivated her transformation, and the rain quickly soaked her clothes.

Gu Nian gripped the Joker tightly with his right hand, while his left hand reached out and headed straight towards Shi Yu.

The moment Gu Nian's left hand touched Shi Yu, Gu Nian pulled himself into Shi Yu's arms with force, and then slapped the Joker onto Shi Yu's body.

"Congratulations, you won."

"You are now to take on the role of savior."

Why?

Gu Nian naturally knew why Shi Yu was talking about it, because in that attack just now, Gu Nian could have easily stabbed Bai Lei into Shi Yu's body.

If Bai Rui touches Shigure, the Mortal Slash effect will be triggered, and Shigure will definitely die.

For someone who can forcibly stop their own attack, accomplishing this is a piece of cake.

But Gu Nian did not, not because she hesitated, but because she did it intentionally.

There's no reason why.

"Actually, at first I planned to wait until you collected all the spades before challenging you to a duel to determine the savior, but your later actions changed my mind."

"For the first time, I realized I was wrong. I had more faith in the future you were creating than in myself."

"So I'm willing to gamble my life and fortune on the fact that humanity will win."

"Joker is now in your hands. You need to enter the Sea of ​​Oblivion to absorb the power of the two suits within Joker and complete the power of the two sets of strange cards."

"Tsubaki and the others will buy you time outside until you finish absorbing the nutrients and come out."

"By then, the final holy war should have begun."

"The Mortal Blade is the key to the final Holy War. You have one, and I have one too."

"Now I'm handing this weapon over to you; the future is in your hands."

"I'll be waiting for you over there, waiting for you to bring me good news."

"but."

"Before you get here."

"I will pray for you."

After Gu Nian finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground, and his entire body gradually turned into specks of light and began to dissipate.

At that moment, Chun rushed over and hugged Gu Nian, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes like an unstoppable faucet.

Gu Nian laboriously raised his hand, touched Chun's face, and said.

"Thank you, good boy."

"I never imagined that someone would be willing to weep for me, a sinner, on my deathbed."

"I haven't told you this for so many years, and I think it's time to tell you now."

Gu Nian grabbed Chun's hand and took a deep breath before speaking.

"My child, I love you."

I really, really love you.

The rain gradually stopped, and a night wind picked up.

While being held in Chun's arms, Gu Nian felt the night breeze blowing and smiled before speaking.

"So many years have passed..."

"The wind from the South China Sea feels so comfortable."

After saying that, Gu Nian seemed to have fulfilled all her wishes and slowly disappeared into Chun's arms.

Gu Nian's sunglasses fell off and landed right at Shi Yu's feet.

This is like a final gift that Gu Nian gave to Shi Yu.
