A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 970 - 956: Substitute

Baiyu didn’t expect the Divination Master to appear here.

The opponent was extremely mysterious from the start, and Baiyu had been secretly on guard against the Divination Master for a long time, but now this guy showed up in such a manner, leaving him defenseless.

Faced with Baiyu’s question.

The Divination Master’s expression remained unchanged, maintaining that serious, unsmiling demeanor: "I didn’t expect you to be a Count of the East Prosperity Imperial and the owner of a Legendary Ship.

It’s rare for someone to leave a Legendary Ship to come to such a dangerous ruin." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Being recognized for his identity, Baiyu was not surprised.

But the Countess beside him was indeed taken aback. A Count of the East Prosperity Imperial is either entrenched in family power, inheriting it through lineage, or extremely outstanding in personal ability, receiving a conferment from the Imperial council.

No matter which one.

It’s not a simple role.

The former definitely has many Sealing Objects and various means for either self-preservation or attack.

The latter... is inherently a huge glitch.

No wonder this person is so difficult to deal with, even she as a Tier One Meteor found it extremely strenuous to contend.

Although she was previously injured, it was still quite absurd, given that the difference between Tier Three and Tier One Meteor isn’t just a little bit.

"Which organization are you from?"

Baiyu stared at the Divination Master, wanting to probe his background.

However.

The Divination Master did not answer the question, instead, he took out a set of Divination Cards, slowly spread them open in an arc shape.

"Pick a card. We may not necessarily be enemies; if you draw the corresponding card, I’ll turn around and leave."

Faced with such a rude request.

Baiyu’s response was a slash with a large black sword, cascading black flames like a waterfall, forming several black Fire Dragons in flight, devouring the Divination Master.

The Countess changed color slightly.

Such fierce attacks can be easily wielded, but if she were to resist, it would be extremely difficult.

At least.

It would consume a large portion of Spirituality and Blood Qi.

But obviously the Divination Master was not going to wait idly; seeing Baiyu not draw a card, he could only draw one himself from the spread cards.

It was a "Magician" card.

"Looks like my luck is good."

The card in the Divination Master’s hand turned to ash, gradually disappearing, along with Baiyu’s attack, as if an ox entering the sea, leaving no trace.

Baiyu was able to confirm.

His attack was not resisted, nor dissipated by other methods, but truly vanished, as if it had never been launched, never existed in this world.

Faced with such bizarre circumstances.

He didn’t believe it and launched another attack.

But still, it had no effect like before.

"Useless; to defeat me, you can only rely on these. I am one who respects game rules; if you don’t draw a card, I’ll draw one for you."

The Divination Master pointed to the cards in front of him.

Seeing Baiyu unmoved, he drew another card, and this time, it was an upright "Death" card.

In the instant it was drawn.

The card turned to flying ash.

Along with it came a deadly sense of threat, swirling around Baiyu’s entire body.

Such threatening sensation.

He hadn’t experienced it for a long time.

Almost instinctively, Baiyu exploded with full strength, the power of Golden Blood covering his body, surrounding him with radiant gold light.

Crack.

A black scythe suddenly extended from the void, piercing into Baiyu’s chest.

The sharp scythe.

Instantly pierced through Baiyu’s layers of defenses, bringing out a large pool of crimson blood.

Truly like the Scythe of Death.

Hit hard, Baiyu quickly pulled away, extricated himself from the Scythe of Death, then started to take healing Magic Elixir from his body.

After stopping the bleeding.

He for the first time gazed solemnly at the Divination Master.

The opponent stood in place, unmoving, whether Baiyu treated his wounds or was struck by the Scythe of Death, showed no intent to act further.

"It seems your luck is bad today, but until the last moment, there’s still a chance for a comeback. At the gambling table, unless you lose all your chips, anything is possible."

The Divination Master continued to draw cards.

But Baiyu knew he couldn’t let this continue, otherwise, he’d definitely be toyed to death by this guy.

The best defense.

Is active offense.

However, Baiyu’s attacks were utterly ineffective against the Divination Master.

The attacks were not resisted.

But mysteriously vanished.

At this point, Baiyu no longer hesitated and instantly used the Eye of the Black Moon.

This time.

The Black Moon Giant’s massive fist suddenly extended from the clouds, hammering down on the Divination Master.

Such a terrifying attack.

Finally didn’t disappear without a trace.

The terrifying fist solidly struck the Divination Master, flattening the sand dune he was on, and even creating a massive crater.

With the first strike effective.

Baiyu continued to manipulate the Eye of the Black Moon, with Black Moon Power continuously pouring into it, the Black Moon Giant’s terrifying attack struck again.

The Divination Master had not yet crawled out of the pit, ending up with another more fierce attack.

This time.

The Divination Master couldn’t get up anymore.

He lay in the pit, coughing up large amounts of blood, his black robe tattered, yet his Life Force still exceedingly vigorous.

Baiyu jumped into the pit with a thud.

Only then did the Divination Master, supporting the nearby wall, clumsily crawl up, wiping away blood from the corner of his mouth: "A Black Moon Giant, huh.

Didn’t expect.

There are still Black Moon Apostles of such high Level, you all should’ve been killed long ago.

This time, I failed."

The Tarot Cards scattered all over in front of him, the Divination Master casually picked up one, surprisingly it was "Moon."

Then.

His expression changed slightly, slapping his chest with one palm.

Faced with this sudden development, Baiyu was momentarily caught off guard.

The self-destructed Divination Master lay dead on the ground, his corpse gradually stiffening, Baiyu directly tore off his clothes, only to find that the opponent’s body was made of wood.

This was a large puppet.

"Another substitute, huh?"

Baiyu squinted his eyes.

Zhenmi previously escaped using a similar method.

Surely after reaching High Tier, these people became slippery, often resorting to substitutes, false bodies, even in defeat avoiding life danger.

But although the Divination Master escaped.

His Tarot Cards were left behind.

Imbued with dense Spirituality residue, clearly a Sealing Object.

After collecting the Tarot Cards, the surroundings were already empty, upon Baiyu summoning the Black Moon Giant, the Countess sensed the bad situation and began to flee.

However, Baiyu wasn’t worried.

Even if the Countess escapes, she can’t run far; this time his goal is to completely wipe out this cult group.
