Supreme Star Card Master

Aurora Forest.

“Hah… Hah…”

Antonios, drenched in dragon blood, panted heavily, leaning against the corpse of the Golden Winged Divine Dragon.

The golden dragon’s body bore numerous cuts, with blood continuously flowing out, covering the ground.

Not far away, Ruan Ruan withdrew the Dark Cross Sword from the Black Dragon’s skull and undid the Rushing River Armor and the three remaining Sea Demon’s Touch.

Under the flowing blue light, the injuries on Ruan Ruan’s body from the Black Dragon’s claws quickly healed, thanks to her [High-speed Regeneration] skill.

Even so, her face was still pale.

Despite the large amount of remaining Star Power, Ruan Ruan was more exhausted due to physical fatigue.

“We finally won!”

Weak but joyful, Ruan Ruan looked at the silver Void Gold floating in mid-air in front of her and immediately flew up.

“Silver Void Gold, task complete!”

Ruan Ruan was overjoyed and reached out to grab the Void Gold with shining eyes.

Just then, Antonios, smiling at the scene from the ground, suddenly noticed something. A faint red light appeared in his peripheral vision.

“Ruan Ruan, watch out!”

Antonios’s face changed. Without standing up, he swung his silver knife forward at high speed.

The next moment, a crimson flash of light tore through the night, shooting from the valley!

The hastily slashed silver line was overwhelmed in no time and directly shot toward Ruan Ruan, who had just grabbed the silver Void Gold!

Ruan Ruan’s pupils contracted. She bit down and tightly gripped the Void Gold, and unleashed her full Power of Devouring…

“Boom!!”

The crimson light struck Ruan Ruan, sending her flying hundreds of meters away!

“Ugh!…”

With a muffled grunt, Ruan Ruan fell powerlessly to the ground. The Power of Devouring on her body was completely dispersed.

Her hastily formed defense couldn’t withstand the world-destroying Dragon Flash; crimson energy corroded multiple spots on her body, her face showing pain.

Despite her fatigue, Ruan Ruan still tightly held the silver Void Gold in her right hand.

“What… is it?”

Ruan Ruan struggled to open one eye, seeing a black and red ferocious dragon emerging from the depths of the valley.

Its aura was more terrifying than the Golden Winged Divine Dragon and the Catastrophe Demon Dragon before…

800 years, the Crimson Moon Demon Dragon!

“Roar!!”

The Crimson Demon Dragon roared in fury, leaping into the air and stomping down on Ruan Ruan!

Ruan Ruan’s face changed. Ignoring her injuries, she quickly leaped back.

“Boom!!”

The Crimson Demon Dragon’s stomp caused the mountain and land to quake, throwing the already evading Ruan Ruan into the air.

Seeing Ruan Ruan in mid-air, the demon dragon’s eyes flashed red and it swung its left hand, sending a palm strike!

Ruan Ruan quickly deployed the Still Water Armor and controlled her three blue-black tentacles to block the strike.

“Boom!”

With a muffled sound, the three remaining Sea Demon’s Touch shattered.

Ruan Ruan was sent flying back into a mountain wall, spitting out blood and slowly sliding down. Even the Void Gold fell from her hand.

A fierce light flashed in the Crimson Demon Dragon’s eyes; it almost instantly charged back to Ruan Ruan.

Raising its right hand, the dragon’s sinister claws overflowed with crimson energy, emitting a deathly aura!

Crimson Demon Claw!

“Damn!”

A struggle flashed in Antonios’s eyes. The silver knife in his hand suddenly lit up with intricate runes, seemingly about to transmute.

Seeing the claws about to descend, Ruan Ruan’s face turned white. She frantically activated the Water-shaped Shield and Still Water Armor.

At that moment, the air turned slightly cold, and thin ice fog began to appear in the scene.

In the next instant, a flash of icy blossoms seemed to reveal a figure appearing before Ruan Ruan…

“Boom!!”

The terrifying claw of the Crimson Demon Dragon landed, causing an explosive wind, shattering the mountain wall into debris!

However, this claw did not strike down.

There stood a small white-haired figure in front of Ruan Ruan, with a pair of slender ice bone wings on her back. Holding the Ice Blade in her right hand, she firmly blocked the Crimson Demon Dragon’s massive claw!

Looking at this familiar figure, Ruan Ruan immediately recognized her.

Petite figure, white hair, and blue eyes—it was Luo Bingtong, who had not appeared in a long time!

“Poogie?!”

Ruan Ruan was stunned, then her eyes filled with joy!

Before Ruan Ruan could speak, the Crimson Demon Dragon roared again in anger.

“Roar!!”

Enraged that someone dared block it, the Crimson Demon Dragon opened its giant maw. The air twisted as crimson light rapidly gathered in its mouth, aiming straight at Luo Bingtong and Ruan Ruan.

At such a close distance, the consequences would be unimaginable if hit!

“Oh no!”

Antonios’s face changed drastically in the distance, he was about to take action.

Suddenly, Luo Bingtong’s blue, gem-like pupils brightened to the extreme.

“Freeze…”

Calmly uttering two words, a deep blue light abruptly expanded from the girl, enveloping everything around!

In the next moment, the Crimson Demon Dragon, about to unleash its Dragon Flash, the frightened Ruan Ruan, and the rushing Antonios with runes flying on his blade…

Everything within the blue light’s range was frozen like a still image!

Not just that, but even airflow, light, and sound… Everything was frozen in that moment!

The only one able to move in this blue domain… was Luo Bingtong herself.

Luo Bingtong slightly bent her knees, assuming a sword-drawing stance. Frost and snow swirled around her blade, forming a pure white aura!

“Ice God Saber, Moon Cut…”

With one slash, the pure white, icy blade gleamed like a cold moon, sweeping across the demon dragon’s neck in an instant!

Light gleamed in Luo Bingtong’s eyes as the blue domain receded, and the world resumed its flow.

“Damn it!”

Ruan Ruan and Antonios were both shocked, dreading the incoming crimson flash.

However, in the next moment, the crimson flash dissipated like a firework in mid-air. The Crimson Demon Dragon let out a painful, hoarse cry.

The two were puzzled, only to see the demon dragon’s massive head dropping from its neck!

The clean cut revealed a gloss of frost, leaving not a single drop of blood as it was completely frozen!

The Crimson Moon Demon Dragon, dead!

“What happened?!”

Ruan Ruan and Antonios were shocked. In the blink of an eye, the terrifying Crimson Demon Dragon was slain right in front of them!

Both simultaneously looked at Luo Bingtong, whose snowy long blade still emitted chills. Clearly, it was she who had killed the demon dragon.

Antonios was stunned, quickly contemplating.

“This change, it’s like a lot happened in a moment… or rather, as if a period of time was isolated.”

Switching his thoughts rapidly, Antonios deduced something from the scene.

“Could it be…”

“Time stop?!”

Antonios’s pupils contracted, looking at the silver-haired, blue-eyed, cold-faced girl, filled with shock!

“Poogie!!”

Ruan Ruan, recognizing Luo Bingtong, excitedly transformed into a Slime, leaping toward her.

Luo Bingtong caught it with both hands, gently pinching, “Ruan… Ruan.”

“Poogie poogie!”

Suppressing his shock, Antonios hurried forward, “Ruan Ruan, this is…?”

Feeling the cool touch, Ruan Ruan nestled in Luo Bingtong’s arms, then reluctantly transformed back into human form.

“This is Bingtong, master’s… Uh… master’s good friend!” Ruan Ruan said to Antonios, looking a bit awkward.

“Is that so…”

Antonios saw Ruan Ruan’s expression and looked at the incredibly delicate white-haired girl…

Being bright, Antonios understood most of it.

“Indeed, the boss is a freak, and this one… is equally freakish,” Antonios thought secretly.

Able to instantly slay an eight-century-old Crimson Moon Demon Dragon, how terrifying!

And with such heaven-defying skills!

Luo Bingtong curiously examined Ruan Ruan’s transformed body, pausing as her gaze fell on her chest, then looking down at herself… suddenly falling silent…

Ruan Ruan gleefully asked, “Bingtong, why are you here?”

“Came in… to collect Dragon Clan essence blood and materials,” Luo Bingtong answered slowly.

Ruan Ruan asked, “Did you find them?”

Luo Bingtong nodded, “Yes…”

Luo Bingtong had entered the Aurora Forest earlier than Ruan Ruan and Antonios, already acquiring her needs and preparing to leave.

Just then, sensing a familiar presence, she hurried over.

Though she hadn’t seen Ruan Ruan’s transformed form, recognizing her aura, Luo Bingtong identified her at a glance.

Now, Luo Bingtong looked expectantly at Ruan Ruan, her blue eyes glowing.

Seeing this, Ruan Ruan chuckled, “You want to know where master is, right?”

“Mm!”

Ruan Ruan said, “Master is now a Star Lord, very powerful! He’s busy with the star vein fight with Qiguang Country and should still be at the Great Flame base!”

“Oh…”

Luo Bingtong slightly nodded.

“We are here to gather materials for master’s Star Device… Right, Void Gold!”

Remembering, Ruan Ruan exclaimed about the silver Void Gold!

Antonios also snapped out of the shock brought by Luo Bingtong.

They looked up to see the Void Gold still floating in the starry sky where it was dropped.

Ruan Ruan immediately flew up and retrieved the silver Void Gold.

“Great, master’s Star Device is on the way; task successfully completed!”

Luo Bingtong approached, glancing at the Void Gold in Ruan Ruan’s hand, and asked, “Ruan Ruan, does he… need this?”

Ruan Ruan nodded, explaining to Luo Bingtong, “Yes, master needs it for reforging a Space Star Device.

He said the material comes in bronze, silver, and gold grades. We spent a lot of time finding this silver one!

But now it’s settled. Once the New Dust Realm issue is over, we can repair master’s Epic Star Artifact!”

Bronze, silver, and… gold?

Luo Bingtong gazed at the silver Void Gold in Ruan Ruan’s hand, her eyes flickering, looking towards the Aurora Forest’s depths.

Ruan Ruan excitedly said, “Bingtong, we’re leaving; come with us to find master!”

Luo Bingtong’s eyes brightened with joy but, after a moment’s thought, shook her head.

“I need… to stay.”

“Didn’t you find the materials already?”

“There’s more.”

Though puzzled, Ruan Ruan asked, “Need our help?”

“No…” Luo Bingtong gently shook her head, “I can… alone.”

“Okay then…” Ruan Ruan felt a bit disappointed but said, “We’ll go first then.”

Knowing master’s side was at a critical juncture, Ruan Ruan urgently needed to return, or she would have stayed with Luo Bingtong.

Ruan Ruan smiled at Luo Bingtong, “Do find master afterward!”

Luo Bingtong’s eyes sparkled, nodding her small head, “Mm!”
