Strange Cards

Chapter 175 The Demon King

As the rain continued to fall, Shi Yu suddenly realized that her clothes were getting wet.

It's raining, but the raindrops are falling backwards, from the ground to the sky.

Suddenly, it seemed as if an ocean had appeared in the sky, and raindrops splashed into it, creating ripples.

"Don't let your guard down, the big one is coming!"

"This could very well be the prelude to a nightmare-level event; be on your guard!"

"Where's that big snake?"

"They appeared too early, and were forced out, so naturally no unusual phenomena occurred."

Meanwhile, the people fighting suddenly realized that their movements were actually moving backward step by step, and the ghosts that had died at their hands were beginning to come back to life one by one.

After confirming that the Ace of Spades had said it was impossible for a demon to have time abilities, Shigure slightly loosened the seal on Shura, allowing a wisp of Shura's aura to permeate the entire area and flow into everyone's bodies.

After the Asura aura entered their bodies, everyone reacted instantly and broke free from the illusion.

All those ghosts were fake; there were only strange, humanoid figures standing on the beach in the distance.

That person had no nose or mouth; their blank face was densely packed with eyeballs, and the same was true of their body.

"I've really won the lottery..."

"This guy isn't the one you were talking about...?"

A's tone became serious, and he nodded.

"Nightmare level, Thousand-Eyed Demon King."

"Hurry up and go get the Ten of Spades from your wife so I can make a Royal Flush and then we'll have a fighting chance. You know, my fully-formed self was once the strongest Demon King!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King also noticed Shigure. Suddenly, two eyes on his eerie face split open, revealing a sticky crack.

"You... are you the modern-day Asura?"

Shigure gripped the Demon Moon Scythe tightly in her left hand, while her right hand rested on the hilt of the Demon Blade.

If any problems arise, Shigure will not hesitate to draw his demonic blade and re-enter the Asura state. Even at the risk of losing control, Shigure will kill this nightmare-level demon king here.

Even if it means completely losing herself this time, Shigure is willing to do it.

"I will stop you, even if it costs me my life!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King narrowed its thousand demon eyes slightly, and then instantly appeared in front of Shigure.

"A sinful person like Shura should not exist in this world."

"Accept your death peacefully."

With the support of A's power, Shigure suddenly swung his scythe forward, and the terrifying power directly split the Thousand-Eyed Demon King in two.

However, Shigure knew clearly that this was an illusion. After casting a reverse illusion on himself, he broke through the Thousand-Eyed Demon King's illusion and unleashed power from his feet, rushing towards the Thousand-Eyed Demon King.

As Leng Miaoling watched Shi Yu rush towards the Thousand-Eyed Ghost King, she swung her spear sharply, and a snow-white dragon followed the spear, also stabbing towards the Thousand-Eyed Ghost King's vitals.

"Foolish humans."

"Let us be forever trapped in this illusion."

Shi Yu suddenly found herself and Leng Miaoling bound to a giant thorny cross, while the Thousand-Eyed Ghost King repeatedly stabbed their hearts with a long sword.

In their perception, this torment lasted for a full seventy-two hours before it ended, while in the outside world it was only a fleeting moment.

Shi Yu and Leng Miaoling collapsed to the ground instantly, both of them panting heavily.

Yan Jingya once again attempted to use her illusion magic to cooperate with Luo Yushang in killing the Thousand-Eyed Ghost King, who had no real aura. However, she was instead controlled by the Thousand-Eyed Ghost King's illusion magic, and the two of them collapsed to the ground.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King understood the principle of finishing off the enemy and that to capture the thief, one must first capture the leader. He used his demonic power to condense two small knives and threw them toward Shi Yu and Leng Miaoling's heads.

Because the Thousand-Eyed Demon King concealed his figure with an illusion beforehand, no one saw him except for Shigure, who was not affected by the illusion.

Shi Yu raised her hand and threw a substitute ghost puppet towards Leng Miaoling. When she appeared next to Leng Miaoling, she took another substitute ghost puppet and ran away with her.

Under the torment of illusion, the price of Shigure forcibly using demonic power was a head that felt like it was going to explode. Shigure felt that even the burning of Asura's karmic fire did not cause this kind of pain.

Shi Yu roared to the sky, using the Shura aura in conjunction with the power of A to completely eliminate the aftereffects of the illusion technique, and then activated the Remnant Fire Mech for the second time.

Bai Yu naturally noticed the problem behind him. He used Time Stop to freeze everything except Shi Yu, and then punched something behind him!

Shigure activated the thruster in his elbow and threw a punch, slamming it hard into the body of the Thousand-Eyed Demon King.

Two fists wreathed in terrifying flames struck the Thousand-Eyed Demon King simultaneously, and the Thousand-Eyed Demon King, who had been frozen in time, suddenly revealed a strange smile on his lips.

When the Thousand-Eyed Demon King's illusion was dispelled, Bai Yu and Shi Yu discovered that their terrifying punches had actually hit each other, sending them both flying.

Steel Claw's demonic power burning domain had lasted for a minute, but just as he was about to launch a sneak attack to finish off Thousand Wood Demon King, he was directly controlled by Thousand Eyes Demon King's illusion. Then, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from Thousand Eyes Demon King.

Looking at Leng Miaoling, who could only lie weakly on the ground, the Thousand-Eyed Demon King knew that she had no means to fight back. Now, the only troublesome one was Shiyu.

The four pilots of the Hunter God mechs, fighting in the distance, naturally noticed the Thousand-Eyed Demon King. However, when the four decided to leave two to hold off one and return to provide support, the two Demon Kings held them back tightly, cutting off their path to support.

"Damn it, when are those headhunters coming?!"

"If we wait any longer, it'll be too late!"

Qi Wu cursed under his breath, but he was actually conserving energy by firing weapons at Qi Wu as if they were free, all in order to get back to support them as soon as possible.

However, the Nightmare-level Ghost King is not so easy to deal with, otherwise it would not have become the main force in opening the Ghost Gate.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King used a mental attack combined with the illusion technique of infatuation to completely seal Shigure's consciousness in the consciousness space. When Bai Yu saw that Shigure had already fainted, he stood in front of Shigure without hesitation.

Even if Bai Yu could stop time, he was no match for the Thousand-Eyed Demon King. After all, the difference in strength was obvious. No matter how abnormal your ability was, if the user was not strong, it would be a waste of time.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King seemed to have taken a liking to the fight and stopped using illusions, instead relying on physical combat to fight Bai Yu.

Even with the Remnant Fire Mech, Bai Yu could only desperately parry the attacks of the Thousand-Eyed Demon King, while A conjured two demonic hands from Shi Yu's chest and frantically slapped Shi Yu's mouth.

"Stop fucking sleeping! If you keep sleeping, you'll really become the king of the longest sleepers!"

"Your wife's going to die, you idiot! Wake up!"

Just then, Bai Yu's Remnant Fire Mech was forcibly disintegrated by the Thousand-Eyed Demon King, and Spade Ten also landed not far from Shi Yu.
