Chapter 577: New Card (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under the dark sky, they bared fangs and brandished claws, changing into all kinds of strange and shocking shapes.
Rip!
Woowoo!
A strange resembling a ghost crying echoed in the dark sky.
As Su Jingxing’s spiritual martial arts divine consciousness transformed into a manifestation, he kept seeing streaks of black and red lightning that were as thick as giant trees intertwining. At times, they condensed, and at times, they scattered in the purple clouds, slithering like long snakes.
!!
The dark red ground beneath his feet stretched as far as the eye could see. On his right was a desolate wilderness, and on his left was a large forest with strange colors. It was dark and mysterious, and gray mist spread everywhere in the forest, floating and moving.
Rustle!
A breeze blew, bringing with it a rustling sound that spread in all directions under the dark sky.
Suddenly!
Su Jingxing stopped in his tracks and looked at a tree trunk not far away.
Over there, a group of thin, three-meter-long strange creatures with hideous faces, a pair of sharp claws beneath their stomachs, blood-colored wings on their backs, and pale bodies were lying quietly. They looked 70% similar to bats.
When Su Jingxing looked over, the dark green eyes of these bat monsters also discovered his divine consciousness manifestation.
In an instant——
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
A sharp, hoa.r.s.e cry containing a trace of excitement immediately sounded in the air. The bat monsters’ cold and greedy gazes were fixed on Su Jingxing.
“Monsters in the demonic mirror?”
Su Jingxing was surprised.
Whoosh!
A strange sound.
The group of bat monsters lying on the trees suddenly flapped their wings and flew towards Su Jingxing.
After coming over, they did not attack immediately. Instead, they circled around Su Jingxing’s head. Materialized saliva flowed out from the corners of their mouths.
It was indeed rare for a pure soul lifeform to drool.
Su Jingxing was not afraid. He sensed a trace of threat from these bat monsters, but not much, so he was in no hurry to make a move. While maintaining a standoff with them, he scanned his surroundings to make sure that there were no other species lying in ambush.
Until…
Screech!
Screech! Screech!
The group of bat monsters that were flying in the air suddenly let out a sharp scream and dropped downwards.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
They were very fast. Their huge mouths opened, revealing countless sharp fangs that descended on Su Jingxing’s head under the pale white light.
Hu!
Strong winds blew against his face and shook his soul.
In an instant, Su Jingxing’s spiritual martial arts divine consciousness manifestation was momentarily dazed.
The giant bat monsters did not stop during this process. The sharp claws tore through the air and quickly approached with a ringing sound.
Their movements were as fast as a shadow. Su Jingxing’s spiritual martial arts divine consciousness manifestation was dazed for only half a second before it regained consciousness.
Su Jingxing, who was already prepared and tense, had been watching the movements of this group of bat monsters. Now that they were all pouncing down, Su Jingxing controlled his spiritual martial arts divine consciousness manifestation to first sprint quickly to avoid the attacks, then fly towards the wilderness on the right to attract all the bat monsters to move towards the empty area on the right.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After increasing his speed and putting some distance between them, he condensed his soul power, turned around, and released waves of energy into the sky.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
Energy swept out like sword energy tearing through the air.
With a thunderous force, as if it had eyes, it charged straight towards the faces of the bat monsters that were chasing after him.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
It was so fast that the giant bat monsters that were flying in front could not dodge in time and were struck on the spot. Their huge bodies were torn apart and turned into a pale white mist that disappeared.
[Card+7]
Seeing this, the bat monsters behind agilely dodged to the sides. When Su Jingxing’s soul power energy pierced through the air again, they disappeared on the spot as if they had teleported. They retreated dozens of meters at an even faster speed than when they rushed over and charged into the sky.
Then, pairs of cold and greedy eyes stared at Su Jingxing warily.
“Come down!”
Su Jingxing shouted into the air.
His heart was filled with bewilderment.
Cards could actually be extracted from these bat monsters after they died!
Whoosh!
The remaining bat monsters flapped their wings and circled around. They did not pounce on Su Jingxing again, nor did they leave.
They didn’t seem to take Su Jingxing’s provocation seriously.
Until…
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, all the bat monsters let out sharp cries and released terrifying sound waves that tore through the air, causing a huge explosion on the spot.
Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat and he dodged at lightning speed.
With a flash, the sound waves struck the ground, forcefully plowing and creating a crack that was dozens of meters long and more than two meters deep. The surrounding ground shook non-stop.
Hiss! Hiss!
In the air, the giant bat monsters saw this and stared at Su Jingxing coldly.
Similarly, Su Jingxing did not let down his guard against these bat monsters.
Putting aside how powerful the giant bats’ attacks were, just their speed alone was extraordinary.
If Su Jingxing hadn’t been prepared, he would have been struck.
However, it wasn’t a good thing for a person and a group of monsters to be in a standoff.
The giant bat monsters were clearly unwilling to leave just like that. They stared at Su Jingxing and circled in the air, opening their b.l.o.o.d.y mouths and constantly letting out low snarls.
“Targeted me huh?”
Su Jingxing’s eyes flashed.
He had the intention of exterminating these bat monsters.
At this moment, all the bat monsters suddenly let out shrill cries and teleported crazily towards Su Jingxing at a terrifying speed much faster than before. With a whoosh, they tore through the air and descended.
They were extremely fast, like bolts of lightning. In almost the blink of an eye, they were in front of Su Jingxing.
At this moment, Su Jingxing could feel his heart stopping.
Roar!
All the bat monsters roared together, and a close-range sound wave attack covered Su Jingxing.
Buzz!
A light membrane appeared on the surface of Su Jingxing’s spiritual martial arts divine consciousness manifestation to neutralize the sound wave attack.
At the same time, he condensed his soul power. In a flash, sword energy-like forces bloomed and swept around his body.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
Sword energy tore through the air.
One after another, the giant bat monsters were sliced into several pieces. Although they were fast as their bodies kept leaping, as they moved, they were still sliced by the sword energy one by one and died on the spot.
[Card+12]
The extraction notification flashed past. All the giant bat monsters were killed.
Only then did Su Jingxing relax slightly. He sensed his surroundings and made sure that no other monsters were approaching before taking out the cards through his Primordial Spirit on Earth Star and read the information.
Curse Card, Curse Card, Mental Demon Card, Curse Card, Mental Demon Card…
After these giant bat monsters died, the cards extracted were either Curse Cards or Mental Demon Cards.
As the name suggested, the Curse Card was a curse spell. Once unlocked, it could be directly used on the target.
What to pay attention to was that the soul targeted by the curse could be struck silently.
As for how the curse would apply, the card did not introduce it in detail.
Su Jingxing’s Primordial Spirit scanned through them. There were actually many types.
Mental breakdown, soul separation, soul pollution, soul mutation…
There were even some that spread from the soul to the physical body, causing slow decomposition.
Even martial artists in the Life Void realm might not be able to neutralize this power, let alone those in the Cloud Ascension realm.
Su Jingxing checked the Curse Cards one by one and put them away in satisfaction.
As for the Mental Demon Card, it could also be seen from its name that it could produce mental demons.
Be it the Heavenly race or the Divine race, as long as they were not demons, the Mental Demon Card could be used on them.
Of course, the best time to use the Mental Demon Card was when the other party was cultivating.
At this time, the power of the Mental Demon Card could be unleashed to the maximum. A mental demon would be born with a thought without being sensed.
For martial artists in the divine martial arts systems whose transformation of their Primordial Spirit is incomplete, they might not be able to withstand even if they’re in the Grotto-Heaven realm.
Even if they do discover it, they might not necessarily be able to get rid of it.
Inner demons were the hardest to break to begin with, let alone targeted invasions.
As such, these two cards were of great help to Su Jingxing.
Su Jingxing put them away in satisfaction before continuing on his way.
There must be more strange existences in this world besides the bat monsters.
In other corners, there should be…
Hmm?
