Jiang Yuan nodded, Nezha, Shi Ji, and Zhao Gongming also turned their attention to the elder.
"So, the best course of action is to create another special Attack Card."
The elder smiled, looking at Jiang Yuan, whose brows were furrowed: "I recall you've once created a 'Demon-Slaying Flying Dagger' based on the 'Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife'."
With the elder's words, Jiang Yuan immediately understood.
"Do you mean to suggest a 'Man-Slaying Flying Dagger'?"
"Indeed."
The elder nodded, pleased to see he was teachable.
"Indeed, with such an attack method, even an autopsy wouldn't reveal that it was done by me."
Jiang Yuan smiled: "Even if there were cards capable of recreating the scene, they'd not capture anything, since I'm not 'myself' after all."
"Exactly, that's the idea."
The elder smiled and nodded: "So, do you have any thoughts on making this card?"
"I do."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he pulled up a virtual screen and read the messages on it.
Huang Huanying: We're currently in an area where people congregate, preparing to make some purchases. We'll probably return the day after tomorrow.
Huang Huanqing: Is there something you need our help with?
Jiang Yuan: Nothing much, just checking in. I'll probably be back in the next couple of days too.
"One day's time should be sufficient."
Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky; though the setting sun had already stained the clouds red, with a little effort, painting the night sky with blood also wasn't an impossibility.
"If time permits, it will be tonight; if not, then tomorrow during the daytime."
Jiang Yuan headed towards the Human Clan's marketplace: "Regardless, he won't live past tomorrow night."
"Good!"
After arriving at the marketplace of the Human Clan's gathering area, Jiang Yuan quickly purchased all the materials.
They were all common materials.
Jiang Yuan specially opened a room in the hotel where Huang Huanqing's team was staying.
Right below their floor.
To facilitate the operation.
"Then, let's start with card making."
Jiang Yuan said and then closed his eyes.
A blank card appeared in his mind.
First step of card making, start drawing!
Jiang Yuan drew the image of the 'Man-Slaying Flying Dagger' according to what he had in mind.
The background was a bamboo forest, with a red gourd as the main subject.
The mouth of the gourd slightly ajar, and a golden light inside eager to emerge.
After finishing the drawing, the next step was signing.
Naturally, he signed it as "Man-Slaying Flying Dagger"!
Spiritual power condensed on Jiang Yuan's fingertip, four bold characters were inscribed, and the entire card began to glow.
A surge of joy in Jiang Yuan's heart, the signing was successful!
Next was the material fusion.
Exiting his mental space and opening his eyes, Jiang Yuan paid no mind to the curious gazes from Nezha and Zhao Gongming, and with a wave of his hand, four Material Cards rose into the air, just below the card that shimmered with a faint white light.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, the first Material Card, a Purple Quality "Blood Amber Gourd," merged in.
Then the second Purple Quality Material Card "Spirit Locking" merged in.
The third card, a Purple Quality Skill Card "Telekinesis," merged in.
The fourth, another Purple Quality Skill Card "Spirit Explosion," merged in!
Four cards for four functions!
"Blood Amber Gourd" as the main body, "Spirit Locking" ensuring hit accuracy, with "Telekinesis" and "Spirit Explosion" being the main sources of lethality for the Man-Slaying Flying Dagger.
"Telekinesis" is a special Skill Card which, within the same rank, if one's spiritual power is more than double the opponent's, allows for an instant kill!
However, this was almost impossible, so this card was more often used as a Material Card.
For crafting various spiritual power Attack Skills.
Yet, in Jiang Yuan's case, it wasn't necessarily so.
The other "Spirit Explosion" was similar, but the difference was that it required nearly all of one's spiritual power to activate.
Of course, the power it unleashed was immense.
After all four Material Cards merged, the card in front of him, under Jiang Yuan's expectant gaze, lay still for a moment, then suddenly burst forth with a purple light.
"Man-Slaying Flying Dagger"!
Success!
Jiang Yuan couldn't wait to pinch the Purple Quality Card that was slowly rotating in the air, checking out the information on the card.
"Man-Slaying Flying Dagger"
Quality: Purple
Type: One-time Skill Card
Skill:
"Slay": Under the same quality and rank, if the spiritual power output is higher than the opponent's, an instant kill is achieved!
(Restricted to Human Clan).
"Hmm?"
Jiang Yuan was momentarily stunned after seeing the information on the card.
This...
Is it that simple?
But then again, like the Qiankun Bow, the simpler the introduction, the more insane its power.
"Why me!"
"Just because you insulted me before!"
Jiang Yuan grinned and at once, Jiang Yuan No.2 caved: "Alright, alright, I'll do it."
Saying so, although he was displeased, Jiang Yuan No.2 still made a phone call to Huang Huanqing.
"Wanna go out for a walk?"
"Sure."
Huang Huanqing on the other end of the phone agreed without hesitation.
After all, Jiang Yuan had already made arrangements with him to check out the Golden Crow in the afternoon.
"Alright, I'm off."
"Sure, I do things reliably."
Jiang Yuan smiled and gave an "OK" gesture towards Jiang Yuan No.2, then watched them leave.
Jiang Yuan No.2, Nezha, Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming, and Laojun left together.
After all, you have to put on a full show, right?
After preparing, Jiang Yuan didn't leave through the main entrance but instead went straight out of the window.
[72 Transformations·Fake Shape] to alter his appearance, [72 Transformations·Invisibility] to conceal his presence.
Then he used [72 Transformations·Stone Passing] to move through the stone-covered hotel.
Soon, Jiang Yuan No.2 relayed a message.
The message passing was simple; Jiang Yuan No.2 used Star Power and Jiang Yuan's main body naturally got the gist.
The message from Jiang Yuan No.2 indicated they had moved far from the hotel, creating an excellent opportunity to act.
Jiang Yuan, naturally without hesitation, directly entered Zheng Daofu's room.
Zheng Daofu was the double agent.
Laojun had confirmed it with the Golden Crow.
At the moment, Zheng Daofu was lying on the bed, excitedly counting the various Material Cards and three Purple Quality precious resources in front of him.
"So they are worth just this much, huh?"
Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly resounded in the room, startling the celebratory Zheng Daofu, who then abruptly looked up at Jiang Yuan.
"I feel it's not worth it."
Jiang Yuan looked at the terrified Zheng Daofu and sneered again.
At this point, Zheng Daofu realized who was in front of him!
"You are..."
Although his appearance was different, he still knew the identity of the person in front of him—Jiang Yuan, who, according to Huang Huanqing, had already returned!
He thought he had been flawless; how could Jiang Yuan possibly know!
"What's not worth it?"
His pupils flashed sharply, and Zheng Daofu immediately started playing dumb.
"Heh!"
"Turn around, sweetheart!"
