Dimensional Descent

The leader of the cardless sects kept on talking.

Wei-ya however, remained silent and advanced towards them once again.

The cardless sects seemed to be put into further panic as their expressions turned hopeless. Despite not understanding what they were saying, everyone was still capable of comprehending the underlying helplessness rampant in their voices.

In everyone’s eyes, Wei-ya was a strange person. He was a quiet guy who hardly ever spoke and his expression never changed. He was like a shadow to Chen Mu, wherever Chen Mu went, he would go. The height of his capabilities were still unknown as of yet and nobody knew the extent of his abilities. Nobody even knew where he came from or where he had learned his cardless sect skills from.

Regardless, his capabilities were too great to dismiss.

His current behavior was strange as well but no one tried to stop him. Everyone around, except for Chen Mu, was wary towards Wei-ya. Even elites like Caesar and Jiao Si would keep their distance from him subconsciously.

Nobody was willing to butt heads with him.

The killer rampage began once again as Wei-ya’s expressionless face appeared even colder and his blows became even harder. These cardless sects seemed to know that resistance or escape was futile and hence, none of them resisted and none of them tried to escape.

Just like that, everyone watched as Wei-ya slaughtered the remaining few people.

Such slaughter was undoubtedly unbearable to watch and every card artisan grimaced at the sight of it. Qing Qing, who wanted to say something, chose to keep her mouth shut instead. As such, the risk Wei-ya posed rose once again in everyone’s hearts.

“Wei-ya, are you okay?” Chen Mu looked at Wei-ya somewhat worriedly as he could tell that something was amiss with Wei-ya’s emotions.

He knew Wei-ya well enough to know that he was not one to slaughter mindlessly, he was only merciless towards his enemies. For him to act like this could only mean one thing — these cardless sects were all enemies! However Chen Mu also knew that Wei-ya had no enemies in the Heavenly Federation. Hence, these people were unquestionably Wei-ya’s old enemies!

Thinking once again of their language that he did not understand, Chen Mu was even more convinced of his theory.

“Blockhead, come over and look at this.” Wei-ya walked towards one of the corpses on the ground.

This was the body of a card artisan. Wei-ya’s behavior had attracted everyone else’s attention. They were all curious as to what Wei-ya was doing.

Wei-ya turned the body to face downwards and ripped apart the back muscles of the corpse with brute strength.

Chen Mu’s eyes shined with shock as he asked, “What’s this?”

Embedded in the muscles of the corpse was a tiny card, and on this card, a growth of something akin to blood vessels spread like tentacles, reaching deep into all parts of the card artisan’s body.

Everyone was shocked! They had never seen anything like this before! Even Demonic Woman’s eyes conveyed shock.

“Card insertion?” Caesar said in slight surprise, “Aren’t these little things from the Mohadi Domain? When did that brat Su ally himself with the Mohadi Domain?”

Chen Mu took out the card from the corpse, noticing that it was different from the cards he had seen in the past. The strange lines on it seemed to have no particular pattern.

“Come on, there’s nothing much to this little thing.” Caesar continued saying. “I wondered why these card artisans were able to use Airskill, looks like they were using this method. Hmph, I can’t wait to see how that brat Su will take care of this matter, being so eager to achieve success.”

Considering that it really was not ideal to investigate further into the issue at the moment, Chen Mu kept the card and everyone began their flight forward once again.

Without the obstruction of their enemies and flying at top speed, they reached the end of the Snow Edge Valley swiftly. The frontline still being these elite card artisans, Caesar, Jiao Si, Yangshan Fei, Fang Shi, Sue, Qing Qing and even Chen Mu himself was arranged to charge at the front-most line.

Everyone knew that the other party would definitely be waiting at the mouth of the valley. However this time, the situation of both parties were completely different.

It was a whole different playing field in comparing a small-scale battle to a large-scale one. Using cards as an example, large-scale squads would normally be equipped with the type of cards that had energy spindles or light beams. Such cards had the advantage of a good shooting range and once a large amount of such cards were used at the same time to shoot, there would be no survivors. However in a small-scale squad, they would be equipped with a wider variety of cards, including long distance, short distance and even assistive types of cards.

The two types of squads had different requirements of distance,

Yet currently, the distance between both parties were getting closer. Regardless of whether it was a close proximity melee or fight, only elite card artisans like Caesar had the upper hand in unleashing their full combat capabilities.

Chai Jun stood guard at the mouth of the valley.

He was extremely pleased with his arrangements. The other party’s Fiery Rain and Sniper Card Artisans were a complete headache to him and it went without saying that any squad which met with such artisans head-on would feel the same way. Considering that the battle had only just started, he did not want to lose too many of his men, hence he used this method. In any event, that kind of Fiery Rain and the other party’s Sniper Card Artisan would be affected by the narrow and complex environment of the valley.

Most importantly, he would not mourn the deaths of those cardless sects.

Even if the other party had the ability to break out of the valley, they would not be able to do so without sustaining serious injuries. Would it not be easier if he just waited at the mouth of the valley, fully prepared for their attacks?

Yet when he saw the enemies charge out of the Snow Edge Valley, he was stunned as their faces showed no trace whatsoever of the violent battle they had just been through.

He might not have been an outstanding commander but he was still a qualified one. Thus, pushing the thoughts of this issue aside, he opened his mouth, wanting to give an order of attack.

However, he would never have thought that these people would suddenly disappear out of sight!

There was no mistake, they had indeed disappeared!

In all the education and training he had received on the different types of tactical regulations, there was none that could tell him how to react to such a situation.

The blame could not be pinned on him or the people who had written the tactical regulations. No one would have expected an ordinary squadron like them to be able to defend themselves from the likes of enemies like Caesar or Jiao Si.

The only reason that Chai Jun was able to reach such heights was because his own combat capabilities were not weak, in fact he was a Level Seven card artisan!

Despite his fast reactions, he only realized what was happening when these people had already infiltrated his squadron.

His face paled immediately!

And another slaughter began!

Chen Mu used the Bipolar card. Even though the Eternal Night was much more powerful, he was more familiar with the Bipolar card.

Once he plunged into the crowd of card artisans, he used his full capabilities!

Countless small black and white beads appeared. The color on the black beads were as pure and thick as the night and the color on the white beads were so pure that it was flawless. As the beads began to interchange and weave around each other, a black and white world similar to a chess board appeared.

Go Cage of Thousand Cuts!

Light beams as fine as hair intersected to form a giant and extravagant light cage. Subsequently, the bodies of the card artisans caught in the light cage began to suffer injuries as fine lines of blood appeared on their bodies!

Under the control of Level Seven perception and the aid of State Zero, the power of the Go Cage of Thousand Cuts heightened immensely!

As enemies surrounded him, Caesar let go of any qualms he might have had and with his giant crescent-shaped Bloody Light Chopper, he painted the sky red! The brutal nature of lethality was then followed by endless terror and the trembling of the deepest depths of the soul.

Collapsing Moon!

The crescent Light Chopper that was as red as blood began to crack bit by bit with spider web-like patterns. It was as if Caesar’s exclusive air of brutality was trying to break through the cracks!

With Caesar at the heart of a hundred meter radius, the energy within the area suddenly became brutally violent!

The expressions on each card artisan’s face changed drastically! They could clearly feel the intense incitement of the power-card within the meter on their arms.

At this moment, the crescent-shaped Bloody Light Chopper in front of Caesar broke entirely!

Boom!

The meters on the hands of the card artisans within a hundred meter radius of him exploded! 10 fiery orbs glaring to the eye appeared in the sky as shock waves from the explosion extended towards all directions like a tsunami.

Jiao Si too, did not hold back.

How could he not kill when he had been holding the Folding Swallow Wave Card for the longest time?

Break!

Just like magic, the Fire Swallows flying around him suddenly split from one into two, two into four…

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Fire Swallows appeared around him, gathering to become a sea of fire that flooded towards the enemies.

Everyone had unleashed their murderous capabilities!

Almost immediately, the 76th squadron suffered heavy injuries!

More than the loss of men, the blow to the morale of the squadron was even worse and even their pattern of attack had been completely disrupted. Noting that Sue had aimed for Chai Jun from the start, the end was very much predictable as the 76th squadron became more chaotic without their commander.

Taking advantage of the situation, the others who were already prepared immediately charged forward. At this point in time, the members of the Snow Silkworms Card Artisan Team had become the most relaxed. While artisans of the Whorled Sniper Shuttle department were still shooting, artisans of the Oudi Burner department could only watch from afar as their Fire was only suitable for close range attacks in situations where differentiation of enemy or ally did not matter and it was definitely not suited for the current situation.

However, more than 400 card artisans within the squad unleashed the variety of their capabilities and fought with fervor.

Bogner who had been watching the images from the light screen within the shuttle finally heaved a sigh of relief, “It’s settled.”

The number of the enemies were decreasing drastically and people began to break rank. Where one person escaped, he would become an example for others to follow. Those Desert Camp card artisans who realized the severity of the situation broke rank immediately.

Chen Mu called back the card artisans who wanted to take advantage of their win and chase after those who escaped as they themselves had to escape! They had to run far, far away from the battle while Su Heiming had not given a reaction!

Everyone raced off at full speed!

They were only afraid that if they were any slower, the Desert Camp would catch up to them.

After an hour, they met with the Wood Battalion that was rushing in the same direction.

Xiaobo and Sang Hanshui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chen Mu safe and sound. Just like that, the escaping squad had expanded. Once Chen Mu and his squad rushed to where the Wood Battalion had made camp, even the transport shuttle that had been prepared earlier had joined the squad. Hence, a large escape army had been formed!

As fate would have it, Bogner’s judgement was correct. Su Heiming did not send his men to chase after them because to him, Chen Mu was only of minor importance, but the people in Qianhu city were his real objective!

However, this defeat still struck a blow to Su Heiming’s ego. Not only did he increase the defense strength of the Snow Edge Valley but he also re-scrutinized his plans, especially his attitude towards non-Moon Frost Island card artisans.

He changed his plan of only killing those who did not surrender. Instead, he decided he would allow non-Moon Frost Island artisans to surrender and treat them with honor, which would then further widen the diversity within Qianhu.

Unknowingly, the breakout by Chen Mu and his squad had caused the situation to worsen for the poor Moon Frost Island.
