Strange Cards

Chapter 6 Blades

"Take this!"

Yu Yan threw countless small white balls toward Shi Yu, but Shi Yu's fighting instincts told him that those balls were definitely not simple. He raised his right hand and plunged a giant shield into the ground.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

The small white ball exploded violently, knocking Shigure, who was behind the giant shield, to the ground.

"Be careful, that girl has a high-scoring 9 of Clubs."

"Don't let her touch you, or you'll turn into a bomb."

Shi Yu looked at the high platform in the distance and suddenly swung out a grappling hook with her left hand, using the grappling hook to swing directly onto the high platform.

"Liu An, who do you think will win, Shi Yu or Yu Yan?"

Qi Wu walked in and looked at the two people fighting on the big screen.

"The card strength is about even between the two kids, because neither of them has much practical experience to familiarize themselves with the cards."

"In terms of practical combat skills, I think Shiyu and Yuyan are 70/30, with Shiyu at 70% and Yuyan at 30%."

Liu An handed over the tea he had brewed, and Qi Wu blew on the steam rising from the tea.

"Could it be that Shigure's combat skills are superior to those learned systematically within the Hunter Organization?"

Liu An handed over the documents beside him, took a sip of tea, and sat down lazily in the recliner.

"That's right, the Hunter Organization's close-quarters combat skills are indeed better than those taught in many other places."

"But I don't think he can be stronger than someone who started from a very young age, struggled his way up from the slums, and is still alive today."

"In that kind of place, every failure could lead to death, but Shigure not only fought his way out, but he also survived."

"Are there really places like that left in the country?"

"The present is the present, and the past is the past."

.........

"Damn it, firearms are really useless against our own people."

"With melee weapons, the high-explosive attacker will be completely overwhelmed once she gets close, unless she dares to detonate the bomb right in her face."

Shigure threw out the grappling hook again, threw a few smoke grenades at the ground with his right hand, and then landed on the ground under the cover of the smoke grenades.

"Let me show you the weapon I used to use."

Suddenly, Shigure's hands flashed with a dazzling light, and two incredibly sharp longswords appeared in his hands as if by magic. These two longswords gleamed with a cold light, as if they could cut through any obstacle.

Shigure swiftly joined the hilts of the two longswords together, then twisted them forcefully. With a crisp sound, the two longswords merged into a single, enormous, and terrifying blade! This blade was far more powerful than the previous two longswords, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, as if it were a demonic weapon rising from the depths of hell.

Shigure gripped the strange blade tightly, slashed through the smoke, and rushed towards Yu Yan's direction.

Yu Yan also spotted Shi Yu, but this time she was carrying several black bombs.

The black bombs flew towards Shigure like arrows, but in Shigure's eyes, they were like slow motion. He easily dodged them and then detonated them with a backhand slash.

The shockwave from the bomb explosion accelerated Shi Yu's speed, and within a few breaths he was already close to Yu Yan.

The blade danced as Shigure spun around, its sharp blade light seemingly capable of cutting through anything.

However, just as Yu Yan's Blade was about to strike her, she would precisely detonate a bomb to deflect the Blade, thus creating a stalemate between the two.

Compared to Yu Yan, who only needs to detonate bombs, Shigure, who wields a Blade, expends significantly more physical strength.

Because Blades are not like normal swords that can both attack and defend, the terrifying cost of each attack is that the moves are wide and sweeping, requiring more stamina than normal weapons.

"We can't delay any longer."

Taking advantage of a moment of inattention, Shigure instantly produced a damage-free bullet in his hand, pulled the pin, and threw it, using the shockwave from the explosion to create distance between the two.

Shigure casually tossed the blade aside and it vanished instantly. Then, he gripped Yu Yan's wrists tightly with both hands and slammed her headbutt with a rocket-shaped hammer.

Yu Yan was stunned by the sudden rocket headbutt, but she quickly reacted and launched a precise and ruthless front kick straight at Shi Yu's chest, trying to kick him away.

Shi Yu suddenly sprang up with the force of her legs, somersaulted behind Yu Yan, grabbed her hands by the back, and then delivered a knee strike directly into Yu Yan's spine.

Shi Yu conjured a pair of handcuffs with his left hand and then used his right hand and knee to press Yu Yan to the ground. A stun gun appeared in his free left hand.

Shi Yu turned the stun gun to its lowest power and used it on Yu Yan. The electric current passed through Yu Yan's body and she instantly felt stiff.

You lost.

"Not yet!"

A transparent device instantly appeared in Yu Yan's hand, and its terrifying force sent Shi Yu flying.

At this moment, Yu Yan's Club Nine reappeared on her right hand. Just as Yu Yan inserted the Club Nine into the device, Liu An's voice rang out.

"Alright, alright, this match is over."

"Yu Yan, you lost."

"Why, Sister Liu An! I haven't even..."

"If you dare to say another word, I'll tell those guys about the embarrassing thing that happened today when a newbie forced you to use the Evolution Device."

"You were forced to use an evolution device while sparring with a newbie? How embarrassing!"

At this moment, Qi Wu's voice also rang out.

"From now on, you'd better practice properly in the virtual combat arena. If your close-combat skills don't improve, you can expect your AD calcium milk to be confiscated."

"No, boss!!!"

"Any other punishment is fine, but you can't take away my AD calcium milk!"

As Yu Yan spoke, she plopped down on the ground and started howling. Qi Wu rubbed his temples and said irritably.

"Then get to practicing! If I find out you failed again, you're in for a world of trouble."

"Ah ...

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!!"

As Yu Yan spoke, she swung her little fist and charged towards Shi Yu, but just as Yu Yan's little fist was about to touch Shi Yu, Liu An ejected the two of them from the virtual pod.

"Alright, little one, you can go now."

"Remember to keep your ID card safe; it's an important symbol of a hunter."

"I'll also give you a special phone; you'll need it for any missions or anything like that in the future."

Liu An handed a cell phone to Shi Yu, who then walked outside.

Shigure walked to the door and used the Ace of Spades' ability to reconstruct a motorcycle for himself.

Just as Shigure stepped onto the motorcycle, he suddenly felt something fly towards him from behind. He reached back with his right hand and caught it, finding it to be a small, square-shaped object.

At this moment, Qi Wu's voice carried from afar.

"Place it to your chest and press it. The protective suit it forms will allow you to survive even if you are injured by a train. Even if the otherworldly freight train repeatedly opens the gate to another world for you, you will not be able to leave."
