Chapter 397 Bright Moon Between Pines


    "The martial arts in my Zhengqi Academy are basically based on the Haoran state. Brother Ma, if you want to defeat me, you''d better not delay for too long, otherwise as time goes by, the layers of Haoran state on my body will It will get higher and higher, and I will become stronger and stronger.”


    ? Qin Ruhai seemed to be kindly reminding Malu, but this action also showed his confidence. He obviously felt that even if Malu knew that he was relying on him, he could still win the game.


    After finishing speaking, he played two more protection cards - dress appropriately and seek self-discipline.


    ?In the Haoran state, these two cards provided Qin Ruhai with 8 and 10 parry points respectively, and at the same time raised his Haoran state by two levels, reaching the 4th level.


    After that, Qin Ruhai didn''t rush to attack. He smiled at Ma Lu and said, "My turn is over."


    It was Malu''s turn to draw cards again, but his luck was average this time, and neither of the two cards was an attack card.


    ?Ma Lu then played a Changchun Gong card to add 7 points of vitality to himself, and then played a Qinggong card in his hand - Holding the Mud into the Hall.


    Spent 2 points of vitality and drew another card. This time the **** of luck finally favored him again.


    ?Ma Lu got the fourth form of Songxi Kuaijian—it was as powerful as the wind, which was just right for dealing with the current situation.


    He immediately penetrated 2 points of Qi, activated its wind-like effect, and stabbed Qin Ruhai with his sword, knocking off 12 points of his parry.


    Then he spends 1 point of Qi to put this card back into his hand and play it again.


    ?With the bonus of the chef''s knife, this blow knocked Qin Ruhai''s health from 55 to 46.


    Qin Ruhai''s expression finally changed. He was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before, and he exclaimed, "Hey, how come your swordsmanship is so powerful?!"


    ?Ma Lu did not answer him. After his strength was like the wind and caused damage, he was finally able to play another Qinggong card in his hand - Swallow Returns to the Nest.


    ?This card requires that an attack has been launched in the current round. Ma Lu spent 1 point of Qi to activate its effect and drew two more cards.


    Among them was a card called "The Rising Sun of a Lifetime". Unfortunately, after a round of depletion of his energy, he only had 3 points left, which was just shy of 1 point, which was not enough to activate the effect of "A Rising Sun of a Lifetime".


    So Malu could only choose to end the round.


    ??He has some regrets, mainly because he still has too few martial arts in his hand, and he is not from the same sect, so he cannot build around a certain core card like Qin Ruhai.


    ??You can only rely on the 50% damage increase effect of the chef''s knife to fight hard.


    ?But even this made Qin Ruhai''s eyelids twitch a few times. Malu''s small explosion just now was so fierce. Seeing that Malu drew two more cards, Qin Ruhai was really afraid that the opponent would throw out another attack card.


    Fortunately, this did not happen.


    ?It was Qin Ruhai''s turn to play a card. He noticed that Malu did not play a protective card this round, and he had been waiting for this opportunity.


    In fact, he had an attack card in his hand as early as the first round, but did not play it. After drawing the card again this time, Qin Ruhai was not polite.


    Immediately throw out a card called Poverty, which is the first form of the gentleman''s post. Qin Ruhai used 3 points of Qi to activate it, causing 17 points of damage to Malu.


    ?The power of this move itself is 13 points, and the 4th level of awe-inspiring state gives it an additional 4 points of power.


    ??In addition, after causing damage, this card brought another layer of awe-inspiring status to Qin Ruhai.


    ?This is the power of the Zhengqi Academy Martial Arts deck. Qin Ruhai did not lie. He will indeed become stronger as the battle progresses.


    After causing 17 points of damage to Malu, Qin Ruhai was not greedy for success and used the remaining 3 points of Qi to activate another protective card.


    —Tai is not arrogant.


    ?Under the influence of 5 layers of awe-inspiring status, this card, which originally only had 7 parry points, provided Qin Ruhai with 12 parry points in one go, and added another layer of awe-inspiring status for him.


    Looking at the six-level awe-inspiring condition on his body, Qin Ruhai finally felt a little at ease. He still held two cards in his hand, and both of them were Qinggong cards, but his true energy had been exhausted and he couldn''t activate them, so he said.


    “My turn is over.”


    At this time, the game has reached the third round, and Malu still has 53 blood points. Qin Ruhai had 46 blood points left.


    In terms of blood volume, Malu still has the upper hand, but there is not much time left for him.


    Every round, Qin Ruhai can basically maintain at least two layers of Haoran status on his body. Soon, each of his attacks will easily reach more than 20 points of power, and his defense will become increasingly difficult to break. .


    ?Hence, Malu did not intend to delay any longer and was ready to make a quick decision and end the battle this round.


    He is now a little glad that he got the Songxi Kuaishou card pack before.


    ??Although the martial arts of the Songxi Sword School cannot be compared with that of the Zhengqi Academy, the Songxi Kuaijian, which emphasizes that the sword comes out like the wind and defeats the opponent with lightning speed, can just restrain the martial arts of the Zhengqi Academy, which focuses on the later stages.


    ?Of course the most critical thing is that Qin Ruhai is still young and has not practiced his martial arts to a profound level.


    ?His Righteous Song and Self-cultivation Technique are only at level 2, and Junzitie has only been trained to level 3. The most important thing is that he lacks true energy, which greatly limits his movements.


    In contrast, Malu''s Songxi Kuai Sword has been upgraded to the fourth level, and there is also Dzogchen''s Little Changchun Kung, which provides him with 7 points of infuriating energy every round, so he can do more things.


    After touching Xin Xin Nian''s Heart Magic Card, Ma Lu immediately added another 7 points of infuriating energy to himself. Adding the 3 points of infuriating energy left before, he now had 10 points of infuriating energy.


    ??Ma Lu then played Chaoyang of a Lifetime and penetrated 4 points of infuriating energy to increase the power to 23 points.


    This sword fell on Qin Ruhai, taking away 17 points of his life.


    Qin Ruhai''s face was no longer as relaxed and relaxed as before, and his eyes became more solemn. After that, Ma Lu struck out with another sword.


    —Clear spring on the stone.


    ??This is the sixth form of the Songxi Quick Sword. However, this form is different from the previous ones. Even if Ma Lu penetrates 2 points of Qi, it only has 7 points of power. With the bonus of the chef''s knife, it can only cause 11 points of damage.


    ??However, this move has a special effect. You can discard two protective cards and randomly add one of the Songxi Quick Swords from the card library to your hand.


    ?Ma Lu happened to still be holding two protective cards in his hand. After throwing away these two cards, he got the first style of Songxi Kuai Sword.


    —Mingyue among the pines.


    ?Ma Lu did not hesitate, and struck it out with a change of hand, then consumed 2 points of infuriating energy to activate Mingyue Songjian, increasing its power to 12 points, and harvested the remaining 9 points of blood from Qin Ruhai while he was stunned.


    In just one round, Malu stabbed three swords in total, making full use of the quickness of the Songxi Kuai Sword.


    ? Qin Ruhai had no time to parry, and by the time he reacted, the card game had disappeared.


    ?Ma Lu handed over his hand and said, "Brother Qin, I accept the concession."


    ?? Qin Ruhai''s face turned red, and a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He felt that he had been unjustly defeated, mainly because he had told Ma Lu about his martial arts characteristics in advance, but he did not know the opponent''s routine.


    This battle was a bit unfair. Qin Ruhai felt that he might not lose in another fight. In the final analysis, he was too confident before and did not really regard Ma Lu as his opponent.


    Just as he was about to pester Ma Lu for another fight to get back the ground, a voice came from behind him, "Ma Shaoxia is good at martial arts!"
