Strange Cards

Chapter 148 I Will Always Love You

Shigure raised his sword and gathered his strength, and soon all the power of the Ghost God Diagram surged into the evil sword in Shigure's right hand.

"Uncle Xiao, I'm sorry."

Shigure unleashed a massive black crescent-shaped slash, tearing open the dark clouds and revealing the night sky.

But Xiong Gui actually took the hit head-on, and immediately went into a berserk state, breaking free of control and rushing out.

Just then, Guan Yun, who was flying in the sky, took out the huge sniper rifle on his back, connected the energy with the energy inside the mecha, and shot Xiong Gui.

The bear demon's body was instantly punched with a huge bloody hole that could not be healed.

"Keep going, I'll support you from up here!"

After sheathing his demonic blade, Shigure charged forward again and engaged the enraged Xiong Gui in battle.

The bear demon's eyes grew increasingly red, and a tyrannical aura slowly emanated from its body.

Shigure was also affected by this aura, and his attacks became even more ferocious.

Just as Shigure was about to lose his mind, Ace of Spades reached out his ghost hand and hit Shigure on the back of the head, bringing him back to his senses.

"Calm down, this is an illusion ability."

"Put an illusion spell on yourself. Its effect is to instantly assimilate and dispel the illusion when you encounter it. This way, you can prevent these guys from using underhanded tricks."

"I taught you this skill."

After hearing this, Shi Yu clasped his hands together and cast a sobering illusion on himself. This time, the power given by the Ace of Spades was so great that it was almost as if he himself had logged in and played for him.

Strange weapons kept appearing on Shigure's arms, slowly whittling down the bear demon's health.

Guan Yun would occasionally launch a sneak attack with his sniper rifle, but poor Xiong Gui, despite his powerful physique, combat strength, and undetectable illusionary abilities, lacked anti-air capabilities and could only be a sitting duck for Guan Yun to beat up from the sky.

Shigure used the technique of exchanging injury for injury to directly bring Xiong Gui to the brink of death, but Shigure recovered in less than a second after entering the brink of death.

Shiyu reached behind her and drew her dagger again.

"You won't have a chance this time."

Shigure summoned the Demon God Diagram again, and just as Shigure was about to unleash his ultimate attack, A spoke up.

"Let me unleash this fatal blow. I have a way to seal that bear demon without harming the person inside."

"You probably still have a lot to say to that person, but you won't have much time, only half an hour, so you need to hurry."

"Alright, give me control of your arm."

Shiyu nodded, and then she realized that she had lost control of her arms.

Two swift slashes were delivered, and the bear demon was instantly sealed into a small bead, leaving only Xiao Bo lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Uncle Xiao!"

Shi Yu quickly deactivated the Remnant Fire Mech and rushed to Xiao Bo's side.

As Xiao Bo felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, he knew very well that he was about to experience death again today, just as he had experienced it twelve years ago.

Xiao Bo heard the direction from which the sound came and laboriously turned his head in that direction.

Guan Yun landed on the ground, and just as she was about to take out Xiao Bo with one shot, Qi Wu raised his hand and pressed the button on Guan Yun's sniper rifle.

"Let that kid go, he won't be in any danger."

Shi Yu looked at the old man who was slowly turning transparent in front of her. Twelve years of suffering had not made Shi Yu shed tears many times, but this time the tears still came out against her will.

"Young...Master, how old are you this year?"

"I'm... eighteen."

"If I remember correctly, you were six years old back then. It turns out that twelve years have passed."

Xiao Bo raised his hand and forced a smile. Just as he was about to touch Shi Yu's face, he found that his hand passed through Shi Yu's face and landed on the ground.

"Don't cry, young master."

"This old servant protected the young master and helped him escape twelve years ago, and now, twelve years later, I see him all grown up. This old servant is already very satisfied."

"It's a pity that we didn't get to see the young master get married and have children, or see the young mistress and hold the little young master."

"But I have no regrets. Half of life is a tragedy. It's so good to be able to see the young master one last time before I die."

"You...don't hate them?"

Xiao Bo smiled and shook his head, a tear sliding down the corner of his eye.

"So many years have passed, I can't say whether I hate or not."

"They never loved you, young master, but please remember, I, the old master, and the old lady all loved you very much."

"I raised you from a young age, so I know your personality very well."

"You're still here in Nanhai City, and I've even seen you once, which proves that you haven't returned to the Shi family for the past twelve years."

"You'll definitely go back for revenge, won't you?"

"Your rationality accounts for the vast majority, but your emotions occupy the most important part of your heart."

"You will return to the Shi family at some point in the future, kill the master and mistress and that young master, to avenge me and yourself."

"Right?"

Shiyu didn't say anything, but just nodded vigorously.

"Young Master, I will not stop you from doing whatever you want, but before I die, I would like to ask you for one last thing."

"You said it, I will definitely finish it."

As Xiao Bo looked at the dark sky, the reminiscence in his eyes seemed to return to twelve years ago.

"My lord was eighty-eight years old when you disappeared, and I was eighty as well."

"Twelve years later, the old master had lived to be a hundred years old, and this old servant was ninety-two."

"If the old master is still alive, I would like to ask you to tell him when you return to the Shi family."

"This old servant has not disappointed his expectations and has saved the young master."

"If the old master has already passed away, then this old servant will go down and personally apologize to him."

"This old servant has witnessed the rise of the Shi family and is very satisfied."

Xiao Bo propped himself up and barely managed to sit up, using his remaining ghostly power to maintain his left hand, and pressed Shi Yu's forehead against his own.

"Young master, do whatever you want to do. This old servant will always support you."

No matter what you become in the future, I will always love you.

"This old servant was tormented by that bear in this inhuman state for twelve years, but today, thanks to the young master's help, I am finally free."

"Oh, by the way, the coming-of-age gift I promised the young boy is in that cave. This is something I promised you when you were six years old."

"It's been twelve years and it's still working perfectly. I hope you still like it."

Xiao Bo's voice grew stronger, but the body constructed from ghostly power began to slowly dissipate.

"This old servant will be taking his leave now."
