Strange Cards

Chapter 422 See Who She Is

At this moment, Gu Nian truly unleashed his full power, which was the form of destiny in his hands.

When you control your destiny, nothing that is bad for you will happen, and everything that is good for you will happen.

If Gu Nian sets his mind to something, there's nothing he can't accomplish.

However, this state is extremely taxing, which is why Gu Nian's initial power was prophecy, rather than the control of fate.

Seeing Gu Nian fighting with all his might, Chun turned around and went to help Cang Li deal with Qi Wu.

Ye Xue ate potato chips and muttered to herself.

"I knew it!"

"One possesses the ability to nullify, and the other possesses the ability to alter the world. How could the boss's power be merely a simple prophecy?"

"The power to take control of your destiny..."

"Holy crap, how can these three guys possess such monstrous abilities?"

"Each one is more unsolvable than the last, and each one is more rule-bound than the last."

Liu Yu didn't know what Ye Xue was saying; she was just quietly eating potato chips.

Gu Nian watched the berserk Shi Yu, standing there quietly without moving, letting Shi Yu's attacks come towards him.

Just as Shi Yu's punch was about to hit Gu Nian, the power of fate was activated at that moment, and a tornado suddenly appeared.

The tornado deflected Shigure's attack trajectory and then disappeared, as if it were intentional.

Shi Yu was stunned when he realized that he had missed Gu Nian with his punch, seemingly unable to believe why a tornado had suddenly appeared.

What was Shigure thinking at that moment? He activated his nullification ability.

But in the face of the torrent of fate, the ability of the second player can never match the control of fate by the first player.

Gu Nian, who holds destiny in his hands, delivers the most painful attacks to Shi Yu in every episode. Although the damage may not seem high, it becomes surprisingly outrageous when combined with the factors brought about by fate.

At least, Gu Nian's punch brought down several meteorites, directly breaking Shi Yu's arm.

Due to the influence of fate, Shigure suffered significantly more damage, making her appear as if she had osteogenesis imperfecta. Even the simplest attacks would cause severe backlash damage.

Gu Nian looked at Shi Yu, placed one hand on the center of Shi Yu's forehead, and murmured something with the other hand.

Gu Nian is using the power of fate to forcibly pull Shi Yu's consciousness back up. Although the final result will be successful, the pain it brings will be extreme.

After all, at that moment, Shigure and A gave up everything in exchange for power, and fought purely on their physical killing instincts with their consciousness completely suppressed.

Gu Nian slowly pulled the two of them back to consciousness, and soon, a glimmer of clarity appeared in Shi Yu's previously muddled eyes.

Upon seeing that clear light, Gu Nian controlled the torrent of fate in his hand and poured it all into Shi Yu's body.

Shigure's consciousness struggled more and more, and the extreme pain also brought terrifying aggression to Shigure.

Gu Nian stood there without moving, and after controlling Shi Yu with the torrent of fate, he carried Liu Yu to his side.

Qi Wu watched as Liu Yu, who was being held by Gu Nian, broke through her spiritual power once again. Chun, who had reached the half-step Calamity level, directly used the Locking Rain Chains to lock Qi Wu and said coldly.

"take it easy."

"The boss won't hurt that child."

Qi Wu remained silent, only trying to break free from the restraints.

Chun looked at Qi Wu, locked his gaze completely, and then said coldly.

"Forget it, it's no use saying anything."

"Watch closely."

Holding Liu Yu, Gu Nian came to Shi Yu and covered Liu Yu's body with the torrent of fate before lifting her high up.

Gu Nian looked into those cloudy yet clear eyes and said loudly.

"You bastard, open your eyes!"

"If you continue down this path, you're completely beyond saving!"

"Look closely! Who is this little girl in my hands?!"

Attracted by Gu Nian's words, Shi Yu looked at the willow tree that Gu Nian had raised high and her eyes became even clearer, and her suppressed consciousness slowly returned.

Shi Yu slowly extended the index finger of her left hand and presented it to Liu Yu.

A finger, about the size of a bungalow, was stretched out in front of Liu Yu. Looking at the finger, which was much bigger than her own, Liu Yu could only extend her own hand and gently place it on Shi Yu's finger.

Liu Yu even channeled the Asura power within her body, slowly injecting it into Shi Yu's body.

At this moment, Shigure's body began to shrink rapidly, gradually shrinking from its previous sky-covering state to a human-like appearance.

After regaining her human form, Liu Yu clearly wanted to hug Shi Yu directly, but Gu Nian hugged Liu Yu and threw her in front of Qi Wu.

"I'm sorry, child."

"You will meet again soon, but not now, not at this time."

"I promise I'll be there soon."

"Please wait patiently for about a week, okay?"

Looking at Gu Nian's sincere face, Liu Yu nodded with some skepticism.

Liu Yufei did not fall when she reached Qi Wu; instead, she was supported by a force.

Soon, the seal on Qi Wu was lifted, and Qi Wu immediately hugged Liu Yu to check if she was hurt.

Qi Wu breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Liu Yu was unharmed and hugged her tightly.

Shi Yu glanced at Liu Yu in Qi Wu's arms, then opened the black hole and left dejectedly.

The three otherworldly beings left one after another. Just as Qi Wu was about to leave, he saw Gu Nian's lips moving.

Qi Wu was all too familiar with those lip movements; it was a secret code they had set up when Gu Nian was still with the Hunters.

Lip reading is also a skill required for combat in quiet environments, and they happened to know how to interpret lip movements at the time.

Qi Wu wasn't even sure what he was seeing, so he paused and mentally reviewed Gu Nian's lip movements.

Gu Nian seemed to know that Qi Wu wouldn't believe what she said, so she deliberately slowed down and showed her mouth movements again.

After finishing his speech, Gu Nian waved and left.

Qi Wu was stunned for a long time. Finally, Liu Yu gently moved and spoke.

"Uncle Wu, we..."

"Go back now, I'm glad you're alright."

"But don't go with them next time, we'll worry."

Liu Yu nodded vigorously, and as if afraid that Qi Wu would not believe her, she even raised her hand and swore an oath.

Qi Wu smiled and, after bringing Liu Yu back to the base, immediately went to find Gu Yue.

After Qi Wu told Gu Yue about Gu Nian's lip movements, Gu Yue looked incredulous, and her eyes began to redden, as if tears were about to fall.

The sentence Gu Nian conveyed with his lips was very simple, but it was the sentence that Qi Wu and the others had always wanted to hear.

"I'm going to see the old man the day after tomorrow."

"Go home for dinner."
