I dominated the game from the start with cards.

Stardust's sword light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, crashed fiercely into the massive figure, bursting forth with dazzling light.

However, after the light faded, the figure was completely unharmed, without even a trace left behind.

It let out a deep roar that made everyone's eardrums buzz.

"What...what is it?" Qingyue's voice trembled, her face as pale as paper. "A shadow...and the aura of a blood demon..." Xingchen's expression was grave, his gaze fixed on what lay ahead.

He brandished his starlight longsword and charged forward once more. The sword flashed, clashing with the darkness with a series of piercing sounds. Countless thick tentacles emerged from the darkness, coiling around the group like venomous snakes.

Yingfeng moved nimbly, his twin swords flashing as he severed the tentacles one by one.

However, there were simply too many tentacles, and he gradually felt overwhelmed. A tentacle suddenly lashed out, and Shadow Wind couldn't dodge in time, getting splashed on his arm by the green venom sprayed from it.

"Ah!" Yingfeng groaned, his arm rapidly turning black, the intense pain making it almost impossible for him to grip the knife. "Yingfeng!" Qingyue exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to help, but Ye Ling stopped her.

"You go protect Shu Yao, leave this to me." Ye Ling said, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a card depicting the ancient mythical beast Taotie.

The Taotie card transformed into a gigantic ferocious beast, its gaping maw devouring all the attacking tentacles. Ye Ling squinted, trying to make out the appearance of the enormous figure. However, a mysterious force interfered with his vision, blurring his surroundings.

He could only feel an overwhelming hostility surging towards him like a tidal wave, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. The mysterious powerhouse was locked in combat with the Blood Demon, each of the Blood Demon's attacks carrying a violent force that shook the ground. Although the mysterious powerhouse was formidable, he was gradually showing signs of fatigue under the Blood Demon's relentless attacks.

A tentacle seized the opportunity to wrap around his arm, its sharp barbs piercing his flesh.

"Ugh!" The mysterious expert groaned, and his arm began to turn black.

He endured the pain, and with his other hand, he conjured a dazzling light, slamming it fiercely into the Blood Demon. The Blood Demon let out a painful roar, its body swaying slightly.

However, it quickly recovered and attacked the mysterious powerhouse even more frantically.

Ye Ling felt an unprecedented pressure. He knew that if they didn't find a way out, they would all die here.

He looked around, his gaze landing on a few cards scattered on the ground. A bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Perhaps... I can give it a try..." Ye Ling took a deep breath and poured more spiritual power into the card.

The surrounding spiritual energy began to surge wildly towards the card in his hand, causing it to emit a dazzling light… “What… what are you going to do?” Shu Yao looked at Ye Ling, her eyes filled with worry. Ye Ling didn’t answer; his gaze was fixed on the card in his hand, and he muttered to himself, “Fuse… fuse…” The card in Ye Ling’s hand trembled violently, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged into the card as if attracted by a magnet. The Taotie pattern on the card became even more lifelike, as if it were about to leap out of the card.

A powerful force emanated from the card, causing Ye Ling to feel a chill run down his spine.

"Fusion...complete!" A glint of excitement flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He felt an unprecedented power within the card in his hand, a power that even instilled a sense of fear in him. He suddenly flung the card out, and it transformed into a streak of light, instantly severing the tentacles wrapped around Ying Feng's arm.

The severed tentacle writhed on the ground a few times before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating. The blackness on Yingfeng's arm also quickly faded, and the pain disappeared along with it.

“This…” Yingfeng stared at his perfectly intact arm, his eyes filled with shock. He turned to look at Ye Ling, his eyes filled with awe.

The colossal figure unleashed a deafening roar, seemingly mocking Ye Ling and the others' resistance. The roar, like a thunderclap, exploded in everyone's ears, causing their hearts to leap. A flash of anger crossed Ye Ling's eyes; he gripped the card tightly, his heart brimming with fighting spirit.

"You think you can scare me like that? I'll show you what I'm made of today!" He channeled his spiritual energy into the card again, making its light even brighter. He held the card high above his head and shouted, "Come forth, my partner!"

The card transformed into a golden light, soaring into the sky. The golden light circled a few times in the air before transforming into a gigantic golden-winged roc. The golden-winged roc let out a clear cry, spread its wings, and swooped down towards the enormous figure.

The Golden-Winged Roc moved with lightning speed, arriving before the enormous figure in the blink of an eye. Its sharp claws slashed fiercely at the figure, leaving several deep wounds.

The enormous figure let out a painful roar, waving its tentacles as it tried to attack the Golden-Winged Roc. However, the Golden-Winged Roc was too fast; it nimbly dodged the enormous figure's attacks, continuously leaving wounds on its body.

Ye Ling watched this scene, his heart filled with excitement. He knew he had found a way to deal with this enormous figure. He took out several more cards, preparing to summon other supernatural creatures.

Just then, Shu Yao came to Ye Ling's side. Looking at Ye Ling's heroic figure, her eyes were filled with love and longing.

She leaned close to Ye Ling's ear and whispered, "You're amazing. I love how powerful you are."

Her breath brushed against Ye Ling's ear, sending a shiver through him. He turned to look at Shu Yao, his eyes filled with tenderness. Suddenly, a powerful force descended from the sky, enveloping the enormous figure… “What’s going on?” Xingchen whispered.

Shu Yao's breath tickled Ye Ling's ear, sending a shiver through him. He turned to look at Shu Yao, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Shu Yao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently bit her lip, her eyes filled with love.

This brief moment of tenderness, like a delicate flower on a battlefield, is all the more precious in the face of harsh reality. However, the enormous figure will not allow them much time for such tenderness.

It let out a deafening roar, and its enormous arm slammed down on Ye Ling like a mountain.

Ye Ling quickly regained his senses and transformed the card in his hand into a shield in front of him.

With a loud "bang," Ye Ling was thrown back several steps, his arm going numb.

A crack appeared on the shield—his strongest defensive card! The power of the enormous figure far exceeded his expectations.

"Ye Ling!" Shu Yao exclaimed and quickly stepped forward to support him.

Qingyue asked anxiously, "Are you alright?" Ye Ling took a deep breath and shook his head, "I'm fine. This guy's strength is too great; a head-on collision won't work."

He glanced at a card crackling with lightning in his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Looks like this is the only one I can use." "Thor's Wrath!"

Ye Ling shouted and threw the card into the air. The card transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning, striking the enormous figure directly. The lightning exploded on the enormous figure, producing a deafening roar.

The enormous figure trembled slightly, and a plume of black smoke rose from its body, but it did not suffer any real damage.

The mark on his arm was just a shallow scratch.

"Damn it, even Thor's wrath can't do anything to it?" Ye Ling gritted his teeth as the enormous figure swung its arms and attacked again.

Ye Ling nimbly dodged the attacks, his massive figure striking with overwhelming force, leaving huge craters in the ground.

"I'll help you!" Yingfeng rushed towards the huge figure from the side, the dagger in his hand gleaming coldly.

He was incredibly fast, like a black lightning bolt. However, the enormous figure seemed to have anticipated this, and its massive foot suddenly rose up, kicking Yingfeng hard.

Yingfeng was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood. "Yingfeng!"

Qingyue exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to check on Yingfeng's condition.

Ye Ling's heart sank; he knew he couldn't delay any longer.

He recalled how weak he was when he first awakened his abilities. Back then, he couldn't even handle an ordinary evil spirit. Now, he was able to fight against such a powerful being. He was no longer the weak person he once was.

He cannot back down; he must become stronger!

Ye Ling took a deep breath, a ruthless glint in his eyes. He took out another card, this one depicting a ferocious Taotie.

This is his most powerful attack card – "Gluttonous Devour".

Just as Ye Ling was about to launch an attack, the giant figure suddenly let out a sharp roar, its body began to tremble violently, and then... it split apart!

Several smaller clones split off from the giant figure's body. Although these clones were not as large as the original, they also exuded a chilling aura.

They pounced on the group like hungry wolves. "Watch out!"

Ye Ling shouted, the "Gluttonous Devouring" card in his hand flashing. He looked sharply at Shu Yao, his eyes filled with determination, "Protect yourself!"

The card devoured by the gluttonous beast trembled violently in Ye Ling's hand, emitting a low hum, as if sensing its master's resolve. Ye Ling's gaze swept over the enemy before him; although the split figure had shrunk in size, the oppressive aura it exuded was in no way diminished.

An image flashed through his mind: in a dark, damp alley, a low-level evil spirit cornered him, and the fear and helplessness he felt at that moment still seemed to be stuck in his throat.

That was the first time he awakened his abilities, barely managing to repel an evil spirit with a rudimentary "exorcism talisman" card, leaving him in a sorry state. Now, however, he faces an enemy many times stronger than before, and the card in his hand is no longer that crude talisman.

He gripped the "Gluttonous Devourer" tightly, and a powerful sense of strength surged from his palm, flowing throughout his body.

He was no longer the trembling boy hiding in a corner; he now possessed the strength to fight powerful enemies. He could not back down; he had to fight!

"Shuyao, protect yourself and Qingyue!"

Ye Ling's voice stood out clearly and powerfully amidst the chaos of the battlefield. Shu Yao glanced at him worriedly, nodded silently, and a shimmering green light appeared in her hand, ready to provide support at any moment.

The split figures let out piercing screams and shot towards the crowd like arrows. Ye Ling's gaze sharpened, and he hurled the "Gluttonous Devouring" card.

The card rapidly expanded in the air, transforming into a gigantic gluttonous phantom that opened its blood-red maw and devoured one of the clones.

At the same time, Qingyue helped the injured Yingfeng up and asked anxiously, "How are you?" Yingfeng's face was pale, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had not yet dried, but he still forced himself to stand up, gripping the dagger tightly in his hand, his eyes firm: "I can still hold on."

On the other side, Shu Yao's emerald green light enveloped Qing Yue and Ying Feng, healing their wounds. While cautiously observing the surrounding movements, she whispered, "Ye Ling, be careful!" Ye Ling was engaged in fierce combat with his clone.

Although the gluttonous phantom was powerful, its clones were extremely agile and difficult to catch. Ye Ling constantly switched cards, sometimes using "Diamond Shield" to block attacks, and sometimes using "Thunder God's Wrath" to counterattack, his movements nimble as he moved between the clones.

Just as Ye Ling was locked in fierce combat with the gigantic figure, a black figure silently appeared at the edge of the battlefield. The shadowy figure's cold gaze fixed on Ye Ling, a sinister smile playing on its lips: "Finally found you..." A ball of black energy condensed in her hand, ready to strike at any moment. During the battle, Ye Ling noticed that while these clones were incredibly powerful, they seemed to lack intelligence, their movements somewhat simplistic. He dodged their attacks while diligently searching for their weaknesses.

However, each clone seemed flawless, without any obvious weaknesses. Ye Ling frowned, wondering to himself, "What's going on with these clones...?"

He swung another card, which transformed into a flame, forcing one of his clones back. Just then, he felt a strong sense of danger approaching from behind… He turned around abruptly, only to see…

"Watch out!" Shu Yao's voice rang in my ears.
