Abundant Martial Arts Virtue-Chapter 1031 - 868: Karma and Choice!_3

Wu Xiaode's entire body erupted with boiling power of Doomsday, clinging to the Butterfly Soul Blade, which he drew out and stabbed into his own chest.

In an instant.

Three virtual frames of cards appeared around him.

Under the erosion of the power of Doomsday, the virtual frames of the three cards all became precarious.

Blood dripped from the corner of Wu Xiaode's mouth as he spoke:

"Destroy the three 'Pilgrimage Journey' cards to break the Bronze Holy Pillar, and the ceremony can surely be halted."

Xia Huilan smiled smugly: "Unfortunately, you need at least four 'Pilgrimage Journey' cards to do what you said."

She displayed the Holy and Demon Key in her hand, her eyes gleaming with dazzling magic light:

"Little Wu, I know you're clever, so when you got the third card, I was already guarding against this."

"—The fourth card is now in my hand, activating the ceremony."

"You'll never have the chance to gather four cards."

"Everything is within my calculations."

"Thanks to the Tao Spirit, billions of evil thoughts, Little Wu, you've all lost!"

She swung her spear.

The Tao Spirit blocked it for a moment, but ultimately couldn't stop it.

The spear cut across Wu Xiaode's body.

He flew out like a parabolic line, instantly flung into the Void, his whereabouts unknown.

"You've given up something truly beautiful."

The Tao Spirit said.

"You've been changed by the fetters of the mundane world, Tao Spirit." Xia Huilan said.

"Maybe I was like this from the very beginning." The Tao Spirit said.

Her momentum suddenly began to surge violently.

"That was just giving you a chance, now you must face the real me." The Tao Spirit said.

"Arrogant." Xia Huilan said. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The two of them rushed toward each other again.

On the other side.

Blood Sea.

The Void flashed.

Liu Ping landed gently on the small raft, holding Wu Xiaode.

Gu Qingshan stood fully armed on the raft, with several flying swords suspended behind him.

"Miscalculated, the master behind the Evil Demon was hiding by Little Wu's side, knowing his plan to destroy the cards."

Liu Ping said.

He released heaps of golden sand, covering Wu Xiaode's body.

Holy light enveloped Wu Xiaode entirely.

His wounds continued to heal.

"Gu... Qingshan..."

Wu Xiaode gasped.

"Speak." Gu Qingshan said.

"Now I only have three cards; you need four cards to destroy them simultaneously to shake the Bronze Holy Pillar." He gasped, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingshan.

"Why are you looking at me?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"The three cards on me—if Liu Ping can deceive the 'Pilgrimage Journey' to obtain an identity, you figure out a way to get the fourth card." Wu Xiaode gasped.

Liu Ping sighed and shook his head, saying:

"It's impossible. Once the 'Ascension Ladder' ceremony starts, the 'Pilgrimage Journey' is completely closed and sealed; it's impossible to gain any challenges and thus impossible to get the card."

Desperation.

There's no way out.

Do we just have to watch that battle reach its end?

Wu Xiaode was dazed.

Gu Qingshan lowered his head, yet said:

"If we obtained the fourth card, what would you do?"

"We absolutely cannot let her destroy everything; I'd rather kill myself." Wu Xiaode said.

Gu Qingshan looked at him.

He did not yield an inch and said, "I represent all evil spirits and now have to complete this karma with her."

"In this world, you must repay your dues."

Gu Qingshan was silent for a few moments, then nodded: "Very well, as Doomsday, I acknowledge your 'righteousness,' Little Wu."

"Me too." Liu Ping said.

Liu Ping extended his hand, pressing into the Void.

In an instant.

The whole world seemed to be covered with a shell, the outside unable to perceive the situation within anymore.

Wu Xiaode was dazed.

Yet he had no time to do anything before he saw Gu Qingshan begin to move as well.

Gu Qingshan took out a platter and placed it by his mouth.

A platter?

Under Wu Xiaode's puzzled gaze.

Gu Qingshan reached out, stuck his fingers into his mouth, and forcibly poked his throat.

Ugh—

He vomited, spewing all the previously ingested food onto the platter.

—That was two-thirds of the ribbon's body.

He had eaten the ribbon!

"When the connection between future and past broke, I felt something was amiss, and as I had the chance to pretend to be you, I seized the moment to collect this card inside my stomach."

"Of course, I didn't pay attention to removing the fishy taste while cooking, that's my fault."

Gu Qingshan said, drawing a sword from behind him.

"Recover, the most important card in the Pilgrimage Journey—"

"Holy and Demon Key."

The sword radiated brilliance.
