Chapter 104 Xu Yuanmo Commits Suicide, Who is He?

"Blood Frenzy—!!!"

Xu Yuanmo's roar reverberated throughout the Martyrdom Realm. Before his voice even faded, the blood within his body began to boil frantically, a searing heatwave radiating from him as plumes of crimson steam rose from his head.

Blue veins bulged, and the blood vessels beneath his skin writhed like venomous snakes, looking hideous and terrifying.

Two condensed halos of blood-red light surged out from his body like two sharp arrows, drilling straight into the bodies of the Guile-Fishing Demon Ape and the Jade-Faced Grenade King.

"Roar—!!"

“Buzz—!”

Two loud booms erupted simultaneously as the auras of both creatures expanded instantly, their combat power soaring.

Gu Ye hurriedly activated his Card Master skill: "Spirit Ascension!"

The momentum around both of them surged instantly, their combat power increasing, barely managing to stabilize the situation.

He frowned, thinking about what other means he had to directly kill the Guile-Fishing Demon Ape and the Jade-Faced Grenade King in front of him.

Gu Ye thought for a full minute but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Right then, Night Dwelling Phoenix's cool voice suddenly rang out in Gu Ye's mind, carrying a trace of imperceptible helplessness:

"Have you forgotten about me?"

"And me! Me! Me!" Willow Crab's voice followed immediately, chirping with urgency and a hint of frustration at his lack of progress.

Inside Gu Ye's Soul Card Space, Night Dwelling Phoenix sat atop an ancient throne, her body surrounded by a faint divine glow and her expression indifferent.

Willow Crab stood obediently on her shoulder, waving its small claws with an urgent expression.

A light screen floated before them, clearly reflecting everything within the Martyrdom Realm, taking in all of Gu Ye's panic and helplessness.

This was an authorization Gu Ye had long ago granted to Night Dwelling Phoenix, allowing her to observe the outside world at any time and intervene at critical moments.

Hearing their voices, a flash of doubt crossed Gu Ye's eyes as he quickly replied in his mind:

"But Xu Yuanmo's Pure Profound Summoning Ban Seal is still active; I can't summon you at all."

"Are you stupid!"

Willow Crab's tone was full of exasperation as it waved its claws twice on Night Dwelling Phoenix's shoulder.

"His card only restricts cards within the spiritual space, but as your Soul cards, we are not among them."

A single word woke the dreamer! Gu Ye reacted instantly. The panic and anxiety on his face vanished, replaced by composure and certainty. He felt secretly annoyed at himself:

"Right! How could I have forgotten that detail!"

"Because you're stupid!" Willow Crab couldn't help but roll its eyes.

At this moment, Night Dwelling Phoenix's voice rang out again, cool and carrying a firm tone that brooked no argument:

"I can take action, but I have a condition."

Gu Ye didn't even think before nodding in agreement, his tone unhesitating:

"No problem. No matter what the condition is, I agree!"

Night Dwelling Phoenix and Willow Crab glanced at each other, a flash of astonishment crossing their faces.

They hadn't expected Gu Ye to agree so readily without even asking what the condition was.

Gu Ye, however, didn't care. He was currently in a desperate situation where he could barely keep his life. As long as he could break the deadlock, let alone one condition, he would agree to several more without hesitation—as long as it didn't cost him his life.

Night Dwelling Phoenix began to state her condition, but first, she gave Gu Ye some background information.

"The place you are in now is called the Martyrdom Realm, produced by a rare treasure called the Heaven-Snatching Martyr Mirror..."

"So after he dies, I want his memories." Hearing this, Gu Ye breathed a sigh of relief; he had been afraid Night Dwelling Phoenix would make a request he couldn't accept.

"Deal!"

"Alright! Summon us out then."

Gu Ye no longer hesitated, activating the Soul cards in his sea of consciousness to summon the two of them.

Night Dwelling Phoenix was dressed in cool white robes, surrounded by divine radiance, her temperament otherworldly and her gaze as indifferent as ice. Willow Crab hopped onto Gu Ye's shoulder, little claws on its hips, looking triumphant.

The moment the two appeared, the smile on Xu Yuanmo's face froze.

As if turned to ice, his originally smug expression was instantly replaced by shock and disbelief.

He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Night Dwelling Phoenix, his voice trembling:

"Th-this woman... how can she be with you?!"

Although Xu Yuanmo was familiar with the woman before him, in the future, he had never seen Night Dwelling Phoenix.

"It's all wrong. Why is it wrong!" Xu Yuanmo murmured to himself, lost in thought.

"No, I haven't lost yet. I still have a chance."

"Haha, kid, we meet again." Willow Crab laughed loudly and jumped onto Gu Ye's shoulder.

Night Dwelling Phoenix raised her right hand, and a bird hopped out from her palm, flying above the heads of the Guile-Fishing Demon Ape and its companion.

With a forceful peck, the head of the Guile-Fishing Demon Ape seemed to be erased by a mysterious power, vanishing instantly.

Without its head, the Guile-Fishing Demon Ape slowly collapsed.

The bird performed the same operation, pecking the Jade-Faced Grenade King to death as well.

“Pfft~~~!”

The backlash from the deaths of two cards caused Xu Yuanmo to cough up blood instantly.

Gu Ye saw that although his expression was somewhat crazed, his eyes still revealed a glint of bloodthirsty killing intent and a determined arrogance.

Gu Ye immediately understood:

"He still has a trump card. But the Void-Ban Ring and the Pure Profound Summoning Ban Seal definitely won't help him now, so it can only be a new card."

After figuring this out, Gu Ye's eyes narrowed as he quietly activated the card: [Stealing the Sheep by Hand].

A small vortex suddenly appeared before him, just large enough for a hand to enter. Gu Ye did not hesitate.

He reached his right hand inside, and after a bit of fumbling, he pulled out a card.

At that moment, Xu Yuanmo laughed with blood in his mouth, his eyes full of madness:

"Gu Ye, you truly are a person of great fortune to be able to find a way to break the deadlock like this, but I'm not bad either. Today, you must die."

Night Dwelling Phoenix frowned at him, unsure of what he was plotting.

With those words, Xu Yuanmo summoned a card and was just about to activate it when he looked closely and saw it was actually his weapon card, not the card he wanted.

Like a demon, he began shouting and screaming on the spot, continuously pulling cards out of his spiritual space until he had emptied it, yet he never saw the card he was looking for.

His gaze accidentally flicked to the card in Gu Ye's hand, and he realized he had lost.

With a look of relief in his eyes, Xu Yuanmo turned to look at Gu Ye.

"I didn't expect you to have already crafted [Stealing the Sheep by Hand] at this stage. I lost, but I won't die at your hands."

Hearing Xu Yuanmo's words, Gu Ye frowned and looked at him in confusion.

Xu Yuanmo's expression was somewhat lonely as he continued, "Beware of 'Him.' 'He' has always been watching you. I am merely a small pawn 'He' sent back."

After finishing his sentence, Xu Yuanmo directly severed his own heart meridians.

With Xu Yuanmo's death, everything within the Martyrdom Realm began to dissolve. Xu Yuanmo's corpse turned into a streak of light and instantly surged into Gu Ye's body.
