Divine Card Creator - Chapter 454 - You Jump, I Jump
In the land of the fallen.
The Swordsmen walked together into the distance
However…
Not too far away…
The Swordsmen fell silent, looking in front of them.
The road was cut off.
There was a bottomless ravine blocking their way.

It was very long and very deep.
“What is happening?”
“This seems like the traces of the battles of the ancient Swordsmen…”
“It was a powerful sword!”
“This sword cut across the entire world separating it into two.”
The Swordsmen were stunned.
Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian looked at each other, quite shocked.
The ancient Swordsmen were indeed terrifying!
“Let me look at it.”
Meng Shisan walked forward.
Buzz—
There was a huge wave of resistance.
There seemed to be an infinite residual force above the ravine.
“Sword Intent…”
Meng Shisan had a grave expression.
This was something that only seven-star and above had!
Furthermore, this was the Sword Intent of ancient Swordsmen!
Although after countless years the Sword Intent had significantly weakened, the six-star Swordsmen still could not withstand such a force.
Bang!
Meng Shisan suddenly took a step forward.
His Sword Embryo flashed. He ruthlessly inserted his mighty Sword Aura into the crack. However, after a few seconds, the Sword Aura dissipated but he had yet to reach the bottom.
The ravine, it was so deep.
“What should we do?”
The Swordsmen glanced at one another.
“Do it by force!”
Meng Shisan sneered. “We are Swordsmen, we must fight head-on! What is so terrifying about a Sword Intent that has survived for countless years?!”
Whoosh—
He took a deep breath.
As the leader for this mission, he had to go first.
Hence…
He chose the narrowest ravine. It was about ten meters wide. He stared at the great resistance of the Sword Intent and walked slowly to the edge of the ravine.
Pfft!
Pfft!
There were streaks of blood across his body.
The Sword Intent appeared and blue veins bulged on Meng Shisan’s body. It was a hideous sight.
Bam!
Bam!
His clothes burst into pieces.
His clothes were torn under the immense pressure of the Sword Intent.
“Bring it on!”
Meng Shisan roared. He simply ripped off his clothes, revealing his fit body.
He walked step by step toward the edge of the ravine, his Sword Embryo releasing his strongest sword while he slashed the air and yelled, “I order you to open!”
Bang!
The air trembled.
Meng Shisan jumped up.
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
He landed steadily on the other side of the ravine.
He was as firm as a rock.
“Amazing!”
Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.
True enough, Meng Shisan who had taken off his clothes was indeed powerful! He was stripped Meng Shisan[1]!
Right then, on the other side of the ravine.
Meng Shisan stood proudly. “Brothers, come on over.”
“Okay.”
The Swordsmen gritted their teeth.
Since Old Meng could cross the ravine, they could do so as well!
Although there was still a gap…
All of them were peak six-stars, what was there to be afraid of?!
As a Swordsman, no one would admit that they were weaker. Therefore, the Swordsmen walked to the edge of the ravine one by one, taking difficult steps while their clothes burst open.
Lu Ming’s head ached at the sight of them.
A Sword Intent caused their clothes to burst open…
Fortunately, there was no female Swordsman around…
Pfft!
Pfft!
There were streaks of blood.
The Swordsmen were covered with wounds.
However, everyone had a bright expression on their faces as they had crossed the ravine!
Even An Mingdong who was no longer young crossed the ravine as well. Although he was older than them, he was as powerful as Meng Shisan. He would not be stopped by the ravine.
His shirt was gone as well.
At this moment…
Lu Ming was the only one left where he stood.
Shush!
The Swordsmen turned to look at him. Their well-built bodies emanated a strong sense of masculinity. Everyone glanced across the ravine at Lu Ming.
This was how it turned out:
♂
——————
♂♂♂♂♂♂
Lu Ming was silent.
This scene was jarring to the eyes.
“Lu Ming.
“Come over here.”
Meng Shisan spread his legs, bending his knees in a half squat position, spreading his hands toward Lu Ming. “Use all your strength to jump across! There is no need to worry about landing!
“I will catch you!
“Jump into my arms!”
Lu Ming was silent.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Meng Shisan said in a deep voice. “Everyone will work together to split the Sword Intent for you.”
“That’s right!”
The Swordsmen shouted.
When they had just arrived, everyone ignored Lu Ming. However, after what just happened, everyone had a good feeling about Lu Ming and was willing to help him.
“He is only a five-star. The distance is too large.”
Xiaowu was worried.
The peak six-stars barely made it across. Lu Ming… was only an advanced five-star!
He might fall into the ravine!
Meng Shisan would not be able to catch him!
“Let me think for a while…”
Meng Shisan pondered briefly. He tied some spare clothes together with the skin of beasts to form a huge rope, wrapping it around his waist.
“It’s all done!”
Meng Shisan calculated the distance. It was not a problem even if he could only make it halfway!
“In that case…
“Later, all of you will grab hold of this end of the rope.
“I will catch Lu Ming in the mid-air and all of you can pull us to safety,” Meng Shisan said.
“Okay.”
The Swordsmen had a tight grip on the rope. It was as if they were in a tug-of-war.
“Come on.
“Let’s do it.”
Meng Shisan stood on the edge of the ravine and said in a deep voice. “You jump, I jump!”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
He was in Titanic.
However, for some unknown reason, he felt warm inside. It was…
It was a long-lost feeling…
In the past when he had participated in legacy sites, everyone would plot and scheme against each other. This time when he was with the Swordsmen, he felt as if all of them were a group… It was a special feeling.
What was this?!
This was a team!
This was teamwork!
The Swordsmen were very trustworthy!
Of course, with the exception of the old man…
Xiao-Xiaojian sensed that an old man grabbed hold of the rope as well. However, he had silently directed a Sword Aura at the rope. If everything went as planned, the rope would break.
Once Meng Shisan caught hold of Lu Ming, both of them might die together…
Hence, Lu Ming waved his hands. “Leader Meng, get Senior An to catch me.”
“Huh?”
Meng Shisan was surprised. “Old An?”
“That’s right.”
Lu Ming said, “Senior An is most experienced among us and he is the powerful of all of us. I believe in Senior An.”
“Okay.”
Meng Shisan nodded, passing the rope to An Mingdong. “Old An, you will do it.”
An Mingdong was speechless.
Damn it!
Why did he end up being the one to help Lu Ming?!
Cough.
“I have a weak waist…”
An Mingdong whispered.
“You are lying! Meng Shisan, this was not what you said the last time when you looked at goldfish!”
An Mingdong was speechless.
“Take this!”
Meng Shisan passed the rope to him.
“Alright.”
An Mingdong took a deep breath.
He took the rope from Meng Shisan and he tugged at it deliberately. “Is the rope sturdy?”
“Of course.”
Meng Shisan was certain. “I tugged it just now…”
Bam!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
The sturdy rope broke into two!
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
“What happened!?”
“I have no idea. It could clearly stand the pressure…”
The Swordsmen were stunned.
Thankfully they had tried again, otherwise…
They were frightened at the thought of it.
“Humph!”
An Mingdong sneered.
Although he did not kill the two of them, he succeeded in making Lu Ming stay there!
He no longer trusted that Lu Ming was an honest man. After all, he had just been scammed by Lu Ming!
Snort!
Lu Ming had a serious problem!
So…
In order for their plans to work…
It was better that Lu Ming stayed in the same spot.
“Then what should we do?”
“There is no other choice. Lu Ming has to wait there.”
“It is such a pity.”
The Swordsmen sighed.
The Swordsmen found it very difficult to withstand the Sword Intent ravine, it was impossible for people from other vocations to cross the ravine, notwithstanding Lu Ming who was an advanced five-star!
“Sorry.”
Meng Shisan felt bad about it.
Lu Ming had helped them previously, but they were unable to help him now. He felt sorry.
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming waved his hands. “I will think of ways to slowly cross it. You can go ahead.”
“Okay,” Meng Shisan said in a serious tone. “If you catch up with us, we will leave a place for you.”
Hence…
The Swordsmen bade Lu Ming farewell and left.
…
In front of the ravine.
Lu Ming was left alone by himself, staring at the deep ravine.
Finally…
He was able to leave the team!
Although he liked the bromance between the Swordsmen and their candidness, there was always the old man who was up to something. This made him very uncomfortable.
He was here for the unknown areas.
As for the abnormalities…
They had nothing to do with him.
If he joined the Swordsmen to deal with the problems left behind by the Swordsmen, he wondered when they would be able to go back. He had no wish to waste too much time there.
Hence…
He managed to leave the team.
“Have they gone far?”
Lu Ming looked to a distance.
“Yes.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was certain.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Ming smiled lightly.
Buzz—
The Original Card shone.
Lu Ming stepped on the Original Card and flew into the air easily. He flew over the ravine and landed softly, avoiding the ravine.
It was a simple feat for him.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Ming flipped open the map.
He quietly went from the edge to the undeveloped areas.
His wristband communication device vibrated. Xiaobai had sent another message.
“Master!
“Can you read this message?— Li Haoran.”
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
Haoran?!
Why did he use Xiaobai’s communication device again?!
Oo…
It was the same last time.
“Yes,” he replied. “Where’s Xiaobai?”
“She is next to me,” Li Haoran replied.
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. ‘Why didn’t you use your own communication device?”
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone.
After a long while…
Li Haoran sounded aggrieved. “Master! I have sent dozens of messages to you! But you didn’t reply! I have to use Senior Sister Xiaobai’s communication device to reach you!!!”
“Huh?!”
Lu Ming came to his senses.
Shush!
He checked the message settings.
Eh?
True enough, he saw Li Haoran’s messages.
He suddenly remembered that he had changed his settings. As it was very dangerous exploring the legacy site, he would usually turn off push notifications and only allow messages from certain people that he paid special attention to.
Well…
He took a glance. They were Xiaobai, Gao Xiaoqing, Lu Yan, Qiu Shuyi…
Cough.
Lu Ming coughed. “The signal might not be good here.”
“Understood.”
Li Haoran looked serious.
It was already good enough to be able to communicate from the legacy site. It was normal to have unstable signals. He contacted him because of important matters!
“Master.
“Do you still remember yesterday’s cover design?”
Li Haoran went on to say.
“Oh?”
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and he felt like killing someone.
“The column was halted by Senior Senior Xiaobai.
“However…”
Li Haoran tried to find the correct words to use. “Due to this incident, the designer became the scapegoat and was sacked. He was furious and… he released the portraits…”
Shush!
Lu Ming who was in a hurry suddenly slowed down.
“Released?!”
“Yes.”
Li Haoran said gingerly, “Well, although the Sword Card Master Association contained them right away and spent a large sum of money blocking…
“Some of the pictures are still circulating…
“So…”
Li Haoran felt guilty.
Lu Ming remained calm. “Is there anything else?”
“That’s all.”
“Leave it. It is just a minor issue.”
Lu Ming was very calm.
“Okay.”
Li Haoran turned off the communication device.
He was indeed his master. He was able to keep his cool. He and Xiaobai were not able to do it.
However…
He was unaware of something.
Lu Ming trembled as he checked online and silently entered “Lu Ming” under the search column…
“Shocking! The portraits of the president of the Sword Card Master Association are being circulated!”
“Terrifying! This is what the influencer president looks like!”
…
The screen was full of similar messages.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and clicked a piece of grapevine news. He stared at the ugly cover and the comments of the netizens.
[A certain netizen: Rumor has it that Lu Ming is very handsome, now it seems like… Hahaha.]
[Netizen Du L Wu: Hahahahahaha. I couldn’t stop laughing at the thought that people used to say that Lu Min was very good-looking. It is hilarious coupled with the cover. It’s so funny that I have stomach cramps and I had to bite my hands. There are still bite marks on my hand. Hahahahahaha]
[Netizen East At The Corner: He looks like Kun. Hahaha. The more I look at him, the more I find them similar.]
[Netizen Destiny Rubik’s Cube 46539: Which century is this? Is that how the Lightning Original Card really is?]
[Netizen Xi Bo: Is this Renaissance style?]
[Anonymous netizen: Let me tell you secretly, Li Ergou is the most handsome person in the Sword Card Master Association!]
Crash!
Endless murderous intentions surged.
Lu Ming’s expression darkened. Xiao-Xiaojian glowed rampantly.
This was so infuriating!!!
As the person who had the best looks in the Sword Card Master Association, he had never suffered such humiliation!
“Xiao-Xiaojian.
“Do you know of any swordplay that allows one to go along a network cable to hack a person?”
Lu Ming was bent on killing them. “I will hack them sooner or later! That ‘East At The Corner’, ‘Du L Wu’, and that anonymous Li Ergou… Hahahaha…”
“Of course not.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was expressionless.
If it had the ability…
It would hack ‘Destiny Rubik’s Cube 46539’ right away!
Of course, above all, it was the damn designer’s fault!!! Why couldn’t he just use his photo?! Why did he have to draw his portrait?!
When they left…
Whoosh—
Lu Ming took several deep breaths before calming down.
Forget it.
Right now, he could not leave.
He had to put up with it!
A man and a card could not wait to kill these people. They continued to walk toward the unknown area.
…
After a long while…
A few figures appeared.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s odd… I sensed a murderous intent just now…”
“Really?”
“Well…”
“Check a few more times. We must be more cautious. Check if there is any ambush waiting for us.”
“Understood.”
The figures talked among themselves.
After a long while…
They stood up and left in a breeze.
…
Somewhere.
The signal tower that was standing tall in the legacy site.
It was located at the center of this legacy site. Suddenly, the beasts nearby suddenly became violent for no reason, charging toward the signal tower.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Loud sounds could be heard.
After a long while…
The signal tower crashed.
Psss—
Psss—
The signal was suddenly cut off.
…
Outside the legacy site, the Swordsmen stared at the last few scenes of the signal tower.
“Is there any danger?”
“No. It seems that a few beasts knocked into it while they were hunting…”
“Sigh, it would be good if Lu Yan were around.”
“You must be daydreaming. It is already very good that she built the tower for you, yet you want her to be in charge of its maintenance? It’s alright. I can still sense the coordinates for the developed areas.”
“Well… it’s good that there is no danger.”
The Swordsmen looked serious.
They were helpless now that this had happened.
The surviving beasts stayed underground. They had leveled several layers but they still could not wipe out all of them. They were helpless!
Thankfully, there was nothing in there that could pose a threat to the Swordsmen.
Hence…
They waited with a peace of mind for the Swordsmen to continue with their adventure.
However…
They were unaware that right then, many shadows emerged from the beasts that had attacked the signal tower. They silently entered the legacy site.
