Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1066: Chapter 854: War Chariot and Priest

Lin Na died brutally before their eyes, while Mu Mo and Alon were still in shock and grief.

However, Su Yuan had no time to attend to their emotions, turning to Alon.

"Tell me, what exactly did you encounter?"

Alon stared blankly at Su Yuan for a moment, then took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"We were first attacked by a beast tide and got separated from Old Mo amidst the chaos.

Lin Na and I fled, but not long after, we ran into a group of humans.

The situation was critical and chaotic, so we immediately sought help from these people.

They quickly began attacking the beast tide, and we were delighted, thinking we had found righteous allies and rushed to them.

But when we got closer, we noticed their expressions were somewhat off..."

Su Yuan asked, "Were they affected by the ’Curse Seal’?"

"Exactly!" Alon’s expression turned stern, and he continued, "When we realized something was wrong, they had already attacked us.

Lin Na and I fought hard, trying to escape, but they were too numerous and we couldn’t break free.

Later, both Lin Na and I were wounded, and it seemed as though a wave of evil energy invaded our bodies.

But at the time, caught in the onslaught, there was no time to examine it closely.

Soon after, we lost consciousness and fell into the state you saw..."

Su Yuan’s eyes twitched slightly: "You’re saying you didn’t even see the main culprit, just got attacked by the ones with ’Curse Seal’ and ended up like this?"

Alon nodded, "Exactly!"

Seeing Alon confirm it, Su Yuan began to ponder.

"Under control and contagious? Could it be..."

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, already forming a thought.

"The dead cannot be resurrected; you two should leave at once." Su Yuan hesitated for a moment and spoke to Mu Mo and Alon.

Mu Mo also reacted, suppressing his grief and asked Su Yuan, "What about you, Lord Su?"

"Didn’t he ask me to find him?" Su Yuan sneered, turning to the depths of the forest, "Then I must go meet him."

Mu Mo and Alon bowed deeply, "Thank you, my lord, for saving us. Please, be careful!"

"Hmm."

Su Yuan nodded, then his figure flickered as he headed deeper in.

"I wonder if Lord Su can kill the culprit and avenge Lin Na!" Alon’s face turned slightly grim.

Mu Mo said, "Avenging would be best, but that invisible enemy is powerful. I hope Lord Su will be okay."

Alon sighed at this, then looked at Lin Na’s "body" on the ground.

The two quickly tidied up, then swiftly retreated...

Somewhere in the Gora Mountain Range.

Green Lightning intertwined, screeching, and a shadow of thunder shot out.

Booming flesh and blood, the massive Banshan Lion Camel’s chest was over half shattered by the green thunder shadow!

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the Banshan Lion Camel fell slowly to the ground.

In the air, the cluster of green thunder coalesced, revealing Gongsun Wu.

Gongsun Wu turned around, looking over to see the ground already littered with hundreds of various beast corpses.

Clearly, this was also a tribe led by the Banshan Lion Camel.

"Though I’ve ventured deep, I didn’t expect to encounter a Burning Sun Level Star Beast so soon..."

Gongsun Wu mused for a while, leaping down to retrieve star cores from the Banshan Lion Camel and other Star Beasts, then checked the Bronze Earth Guide Plate.

"The Bronze Earth Guide Plate’s changes seem to have intensified."

Gongsun Wu nodded to himself, intending to put away the Azure Dragon Earth Attraction Plate, but the talisman on him stirred.

"A message from Third Rank Su?"

Gongsun Wu checked, indeed receiving news from Su Yuan.

After reading it, Gongsun Wu’s eyes lit up.

"There really might be a Dragon Vein Phenomenon here!"

Su Yuan communicated his Bronze Earth Guide Plate’s changes to Gongsun Wu and Tian Hui, indicating the Earth Qi change here is intense, likely signaling a Dragon Vein emergence.

But upon seeing the latter part, Gongsun Wu’s expression suddenly turned grave.

"Zombies, Truth Secret Society, Priestess?"

Given the information gathered, according to Su Yuan’s speculation, Alon, Lin Na, and others are likely "zombies" controlled by the Truth Secret Society’s priestess.

Meaning, within this Gora Mountain Range, one might encounter members of the Truth Secret Society!

What they’ve done before has been shocking, so Gongsun Wu would certainly not be careless.

"Then, as per Third Rank Su’s instructions, let’s go to meet up quickly!"

Gongsun Wu glanced again, noting Tian Hui was relatively close, allowing for rendezvous on the way.

Without hesitation, Gongsun Wu surged with Green Lightning, immediately transforming into thunder, speeding towards Su Yuan’s location.

All three had kept their distance to an appropriately safe level, and at Gongsun Wu’s speed, reaching Su Yuan would only take a few hours.

Green Lightning flickered continuously as Gongsun Wu rushed, alarming many Star Beasts in the dense forest.

Upon sensing his powerful aura and remarkable speed, those Star Beasts dared not attack and fled far away.

Being in the Three Suns Realm on this continent, it is considered the peak of the lower stages, not to mention a top expert like Gongsun Wu from the Top Hundred list?

Gongsun Wu advanced unhindered, pondering matters in Su Yuan’s message.

Suddenly, not far into the journey, a shadow shot violently from a forest area, crashing directly over!

"Boom!"

A dull sound echoed, and a wave of air exploded.

Amidst the trembling Green Lightning, Gongsun Wu was instantly blown backward over a hundred meters into the high sky!

Gongsun Wu stepped on the void and quickly stabilized his position, hurriedly raising his head to look forward.

He saw a well-proportioned middle-aged man, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, standing at the spot where he had just been!

This middle-aged man had a rugged face and stood straight, dressed in black combat attire with a white cloak draped over him.

Gongsun Wu looked at the white cloak of the man, his pupils contracted sharply: "Truth Secret Society, War Chariot!"

Gongsun Wu recalled that members of the Truth Secret Society mostly acted in pairs, and knew he had met another one.

Based on the intelligence from a week ago, accompanying the Priestess was... the War Chariot!

"I didn’t expect you to know me..." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and introduced himself, "I am Augustus of the Truth Secret Society, the War Chariot."

Gongsun Wu scrutinized the man before him. Although not very tall, he was muscular and robust, with his aura deep and restrained, bearing a hint of ferocity.

Just by looking at him, Gongsun Wu suddenly felt a wave of anxiety as if facing a beast!

Secretly taking out a talisman, Gongsun Wu was about to send a message to Su Yuan and Tian Hui.

But in the blink of an eye, Augustus, who was still far away, suddenly appeared close by!

"So fast?!"

Gongsun Wu’s pupils shrank.

Augustus already threw a direct punch which landed on Gongsun Wu’s chest.

Once again, Gongsun Wu was blasted away, crashing into a distant mountain peak with a "boom", shattering a large area of rocks.

Augustus caught the talisman that escaped from Gongsun Wu’s hand, pinched it with his fingers and crushed it after a glance.

Looking up at the distant mountain peak, Augustus revealed a cruel smile and once again transformed into a phantom indistinguishable by the naked eye to rush out.

Just then, numerous cracks entwined with Green Lightning began seeping from the mountain.

Augustus’ eyes twitched slightly, and in the next moment, the mountain exploded, a roaring shadow of Green Thunder crashing towards him.

"Impressive!"

Augustus’ gaze brightened and he directly swung his fists to clash with Gongsun Wu.

"Boom, boom, boom...!"

The Green Thunder roared, and the two collided fiercely.

"Star Formation·Ninety-nine!"

Green Lightning surged on Gongsun Wu’s fists, and within an instant, he unleashed eighty-one punches!

Eighty-one blasts of lightning punched like a galaxy, instantly erupting into dazzling Spirit Light.

Yet Augustus neither dodged nor avoided, his fists moving orderly and artfully, skillful as a god, actually blocking all eighty-one punches with just his hands!

In an instant, the Spirit Light was extinguished but Augustus remained unharmed!

"Such strong martial skills!" Gongsun Wu was startled in his heart.

He had vaguely sensed it just now, and now it seemed that the martial arts mastery of the person before him had indeed reached the level of a Grandmaster!

Though martial skills have limited use for Star Card Masters with supernatural abilities, they are not entirely useless.

Gongsun Wu was from a sect, and his martial skills weren’t bad either, but compared to the person before him, he was indeed inferior.

"Furthermore, my Star Power flow seems to be restricted?!"

With continued clashes, Gongsun Wu felt his Star Power flow becoming increasingly restricted.

A quick investigation revealed that where he was struck, a slight infiltration of energy blocked the flow of Star Power.

The force was terrifying, martial skills amazing, and such tactics.

If he continued this prolonged consumption against the opponent, he feared he would gradually fall into defeat.

Seeing Augustus about to deliver another punch, Gongsun Wu widened his eyes, and with a "chi-la" sound, a large flow of green electrical currents surged from beneath his feet.

Augustus immediately sensed this, his expression slightly tense, and rapidly retreated.

In the next moment, the clear sky was struck by thunder, descending upon Gongsun Wu. It was the Azure Brilliance Thunder Sky Palace Divine Ability!

Thunder roared, Green Lightning danced furiously!

Gongsun Wu’s body was covered in green lightning patterns, carrying bolts of electricity as he shot forward and approached Augustus in an instant, delivering a punch.

Augustus immediately crossed his arms in front.

And in the next moment, the Green Thunder exploded, a powerful force and paralysis effect simultaneously hit his body.

"Hmm?!"

Augustus’ expression changed slightly, instantly being struck and sent flying.

"Such strong paralysis effect!"

Encircled by Green Lightning, Augustus felt an intense paralysis assaulting him, making movement difficult.

He immediately unleashed Star Power, attempting to quickly shake off the paralysis with his powerful constitution.

Just then, thunder echoed in the high sky, and within the palace, a simulated Azure Brilliance Divine Thunder as thick as a water barrel suddenly crashed down, instantly hitting Augustus who hadn’t escaped paralysis yet!

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder almost rendered people deaf, while only the blue lightning could be seen shattering the ground, as rubble vanished!

In a flash, as the lightning dimmed, Augustus stood within a pit, his body covered with numerous opened wounds, once again falling into a new paralysis state.

With lightning flashing, Gongsun Wu’s silhouette flickered as he once again rushed close.

"Boom boom boom...!"

Countless punches landed within seconds, the thunder never stopped, as waves of green electrical currents exploded continuously on Augustus.

"Star Formation·Comet!"

Green electricity surged on Gongsun Wu’s fists, launching an amassed strike on Augustus.

The green electrical burst, Augustus was engulfed by thunder and struck out, truly appearing like a green comet!
