Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 568: Chapter 468: A Battle of Wits

In the bizarre, colorful Domain.

Unexpectedly, there was no intense battle as anticipated.

Instead, Qiong Ying and Shen Die stood quietly together, enveloped in a vibrant, constantly swirling Energy Shield.

However, despite the absence of fierce weapon clashes, the situation of the two seemed even more perilous.

“Screech!”

The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, another bloody wound was drawn on Qiong Ying’s back.

Aside from this wound, there were already more than ten saber wounds on Qiong Ying’s body, looking rather battered.

Compared to Qiong Ying, although Shen Die had no visible wounds, the aura around her fluctuated, appearing as if it could extinguish at any moment.

At this moment, in Shen Die’s Spiritual World, Shen Die stood with a saber at the center of the blooming Pure White Flower.

All around, there were various colored Clones of Qiong Ying.

Blue sadness, red anger, white loneliness, black despair, purple fear, pink desire…

Hundreds of emotional Clones transformed from negative energy charged constantly at Shen Die, like a Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance!

Shen Die’s movements were nimble, her saber skill sharp, slicing down one emotional Clone after another that rushed toward her.

However, with two fists unable to contend against many hands, these emotional Clones were extremely troublesome. Occasionally, an emotional Clone would break through Shen Die’s defense and collide into her body.

Each time this happened, the negative emotions in Shen Die’s heart would increase to some extent.

At this moment, Shen Die was once again invaded by the white Clone representing loneliness, causing her entire body to tremble.

At this time, several Pure White Flowers around her lit up, quickly withering as if their energy was drained.

With the energy replenished by these Spirit Flowers, Shen Die’s eyes cleared up somewhat.

“Oh? It seems the reaction this time is quite strong,” an emotional Clone said with a smile.

Shen Die’s eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, she raised her hand and slashed with a white blade glow, shattering the emotional Clone.

At this time, another blue Clone beside her spoke: “Although you hid it well before, you have already been eroded by me for so long that it’s hard to maintain, right?

Indeed, loneliness is your greatest weakness…”

Shen Die’s pupils contracted, and then her eyes grew even colder.

Shen Die had little impression of her parents; they seemed to have died in a dangerous area when she was very young.

Shen Die herself grew up on state relief with difficulty for several years.

During this time, she met some other orphans, but because of her naturally cold and aloof personality, Shen Die didn’t fit in and didn’t make any friends, often being bullied and teased by others.

Although Shen Die didn’t care about these things, she became even more reluctant to interact with others.

Later, Shen Die was accidentally discovered by a master of the Divine Dream Path of the Four Hidden Sects, who saw her potential and brought her into the Sect.

The reason Shen Die’s personality was aloof and out of sync with her peers was precisely that her spiritual power was too strong.

However, to keep Shen Die’s mind pure and promote her cultivation, the Divine Dream Path had always trained her alone.

Therefore, even within the Sect, Shen Die never made any friends, and her aloof and cold personality didn’t improve.

Later, noticing the issue, Shen Die’s master decided to send her down the mountain once her cultivation reached a certain stage, assigning her to the Sky Patrol Department.

After that, although Shen Die had some teammates, her aloof personality and extraordinary strength always created a sense of distance between her and others…

So, from childhood to adulthood, Shen Die had mostly been alone.

Fear, despair, sadness, desire… Shen Die hadn’t experienced much of these.

But loneliness… Shen Die felt it more deeply than anyone!

At this moment, more emotional Clones rushed at her from all directions, and this time, the white Clones representing loneliness were noticeably more.

“Her spiritual power can be this exaggerated…” Shen Die felt heavy-hearted.

Every time she killed an enemy, she could absorb part of their spiritual power.

Plus the Skill she cultivated, in terms of spiritual power, no one of the same level should surpass her.

This must be what it means to be a Star Envoy… Currently, it seems that Star Envoys are monsters who have reached the ultimate in some aspect.

Since she was a Star Envoy, it was understandable that the opponent had more spiritual power than her.

Facing the overwhelming emotional Clones, Shen Die swung her blade continuously, but it was impossible to fend off so many emotional Clones. She was repeatedly invaded by various emotional Clones.

Gradually, consumed by a vast amount of negative emotions led by loneliness, Shen Die’s form and consciousness grew increasingly blurry.

“So tired…”

“Why don’t I just stop here…”

“…”

“No, I must defeat him and claim the Tiger Vein!”

“…”

“But… such endless mental erosion, how can I possibly resist?”

“Always alone…”

“Master, now I am alone, feeling… a bit scared.”

“Is this where I die?”

“…”

As more multicolored figures invaded, the ultimate feeling of loneliness was born in Shen Die’s heart.

Apart from that, there was also a faint sense of despair and sadness.

The will to resist in her heart grew weaker and weaker. In just a moment, Shen Die was invaded by several more emotional Clones. Her once pure eyes were now almost entirely filled with negative energy.
