50: The dust has settled

On the other side of the warehouse, Fierce Tiger and Cao Yun watched Black Crow, who had been instantly critically wounded, his Origin Card almost shattered, then looked at the towering Raging Waves Sea Soul, and the menacing Yao Tianxiao with three other strong individuals of the same rank.

Fierce Tiger's face, covered in coarse flesh, instantly turned pale.

The playing cards at Cao Yun's fingertips stopped spinning.

The two exchanged a look of horror, and no longer hesitated!

"Run!"

This thought grew wildly like weeds!

If they didn't run now, they would be next to die!

Fierce Tiger roared, and the Berserk Battle Axe Ogre slammed its giant axe into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust to create chaos!

He himself, like a mad bull, crashed recklessly into the side wall of the warehouse, creating a large hole with a bang, and rushed into the night without looking back!

Cao Yun was even more direct; cards fluttered at her fingertips, creating several incredibly realistic phantom clones, while her true body transformed into a pink mist and vanished in another direction!

Only a wise person knows when to retreat!

The two overlords of Jiangcheng's underworld fled faster than rabbits!

"Bastards! You..." Black Crow saw his allies instantly flee, and was so enraged his eyes almost burst, adding injury to injury, and he spat out another mouthful of black blood.

"Little bastard! Little bastard!!!"

Black Crow was disheveled, covered in blood, and looked like a madman.

He looked at Lu Yuan, at the gold beast taming card hovering before him, and felt the agonizing tearing pain from the Origin Card within his body, his eyes filled only with boundless venom!

He knew he was finished!

Completely finished!

The Black Water Gang, which he had managed for many years, was destroyed in an instant!

He himself would also perish!

He was unwilling!

"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!!!"

Black Crow suddenly roared, and his remaining Source Power surged wildly towards his chest!

Inside his Origin Card slot, the heavily damaged Calamity Raven card began to emit an extremely unstable, destructive black light!

He intended to detonate his source core!

A self-detonation by a Fourth-Rank Elite Card Master was powerful enough to level this entire area!

"Not good!" Yao Tianxiao's face changed, and he was about to intervene.

But someone was faster than him!

Or rather, a beast taming card was faster than him!

The Raging Waves Sea Soul, which had stood like a mountain in the center of the warehouse, like a mere backdrop, moved.

Its massive, sky-obscuring tortoise shell body merely sank slightly.

The movement seemed slow, yet it carried an irresistible, all-crushing absolute power!

As if the entire sky had collapsed!

"No—!!!"

Black Crow's final roar abruptly ceased.

Pfft—!

A sickening thud.

As if a ripe watermelon had been crushed by a heavy object.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

No destructive energy impact.

The massive body of the Raging Waves Sea Soul, like Mount Tai Crushing Down, simply "sat" down.

The ground trembled slightly.

When it lifted again, only a blurry pool of flesh and blood remained, along with a deep impression embedded in the ground.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Black Crow, the Fourth-Rank overlord who once commanded the Jiangcheng underworld, along with his final madness and attempt at self-detonation, was directly crushed into a pulp by the Raging Waves Sea Soul in the simplest, most brutal, and most thorough manner!

Both body and soul annihilated!

"Holy crap?"

"Holy crap..."

"Holy crap!!!"

The three helpers Yao Tianxiao brought couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes as they looked at the pulp of flesh.

Too... too brutal!

Is this the power of a gold Origin Card?

It's simply unreasonable!

All the remaining Black Water Gang members in the warehouse were terrified, collapsing to the ground, soiling themselves.

Whoosh!

With Black Crow's complete death, the cards he carried, as if freed from their restraints, scattered across the ground.

White, blue, and even several high-quality cards shimmering with a deep purple glow!

Among them, three cards shone most brightly.

One was as black as ink, with a faint aura of calamity flowing over its surface; this was the Origin Card of the Calamity Raven, severely damaged and weak in aura, but its core was intact, and it would still be valuable after repairs.

The other two, one emitted a thick, earthy yellow light, and the other displayed strange shadow fluctuations, clearly Black Crow's other Origin Cards!

Three Origin Cards!

And a large number of rare cards!

This was an astonishing fortune!

Buzz—

The Raging Waves Sea Soul, which had suppressed the entire scene, its massive body began to become ethereal, rippling like water, eventually transforming into specks of blue light and slowly dissipating.

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon in mid-air also let out a slightly weary eagle cry, turning into a golden light and merging into Lu Yuan's chest.

Both gold Origin Cards disappeared simultaneously.

The suffocating, terrifying pressure also dissipated.

Lu Yuan's vision suddenly went black.

The world spun.

His legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to support his body any longer.

The backlash of completely drained Source Power enveloped him like a tide.

He groaned, his body uncontrollably falling forward.

"Lu Yuan!"

A soft arm supported him just in time.

It was Yao Xiao.

She had run close at some point; Lu Yuan leaned against her, panting heavily, his face as pale as paper, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Even with the replenishment from that bag of Source Power cards, he was utterly exhausted now.

Especially the final use of source core fragments to guide the power of resonance, which almost completely drained his last shred of Source Power.

Yao Tianxiao gazed deeply at Lu Yuan, who was being supported by Yao Xiao, his expression complex and unreadable.

Shock, admiration, apprehension... a mixture of emotions.

He didn't ask further, merely waved his hand.

"Rescue them, clear the area."

The three Fourth-Rank strong individuals he brought immediately sprang into action, with high efficiency.

His parents and teacher were rescued first; fortunately, they were unharmed, only sustaining minor scratches.

To be safe, Lu Yuan still asked Yao Tianxiao to send them to the hospital for a check-up.

The remaining Black Water Gang members were quickly brought under control.

Most importantly, all the cards scattered on the ground, including Black Crow's three Origin Cards and other various rare cards, were collected and placed into a special, thick cloth bag capable of isolating energy fluctuations.

Soon, one of the retainers handed the heavy cloth bag to Yao Tianxiao.

Yao Tianxiao didn't take it, but gestured.

The retainer understood, turned, and handed the cloth bag to Lu Yuan.

"Young Friend Lu, these are your spoils of war."

Lu Yuan forced himself to stand straight, taking the cloth bag.

It was heavy in his hand!

Through the thick fabric, he could still clearly feel the powerful fluctuations contained within.

Black Crow's lifetime accumulation was now entirely in his hands!

Just then, Yao Tianxiao's gaze fell on Lu Yuan's chest, with a pointed meaning.

"Lu Yuan."

"You haven't forgotten our deal, have you?"

"Five million star coins, one gold beast taming card."

A reminder, but also a form of pressure.

Lu Yuan turned to look at Yao Xiao, who was supporting him, his eyes sincere.

"Three days from now."

"One gold card, five million."

Every word was clear and precise.

It was both a promise to Yao Tianxiao and an explanation to Yao Xiao...
