Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1204 - Chapter 1204 Chapter 370 Special Rules in the Train

Chapter 1204: Chapter 370: Special Rules in the Train Carriage_3 Chapter 1204: Chapter 370: Special Rules in the Train Carriage_3 Leonard Churchill hadn’t dodged just now, not only because time was too pressing, but also because it was a better choice to test the enemy’s strength at close range.

At almost point-blank range, a punch of [Earth Roar] was enough to injure any opponent below the Legend tier to some extent.

However, to Leonard’s surprise, the dark shadow in front of him cracked open like a mirror had been shattered.

In the blink of an eye, the fella reformed just like a shadow broken on the water, returning to its original state.

“Huh?”

Watching closely, Leonard’s eyes narrowed as he immediately thought of something.

Could it be the exclusive Demon God Secret Skill of the [Club 2-assassin] Sequence–“Phantom Flash”?

A ceiling ability of the Dark Type, more inscrutable than Elemental Transformation, was this form of movement.

Turning his head, not far away stood a figure wearing a top hat and tailcoat, with claws as sharp as scissors for hands, whose ghostly eyes suspiciously watched Leonard.

As if it was strange for its claws to have not killed him.

As soon as this fella made a move, the name appeared above its head–[Scissorhands Edward].

Leonard didn’t dare to be careless, his Clown illusion appeared behind him, his bones and muscles crackling as his body suddenly grew taller, transforming into a Golem State of the Three-Headed Dragon Scale Inferno.

It was when he entered the combat state that for some reason, a throng of Undead Spirits suddenly looked sideways at him, as if incredibly surprised.

“Tsk tsk, this is getting interesting…”

From the attitude of these Vengeful Spirits, Leonard vaguely guessed something.

It wasn’t him that they were surprised at, but rather the Clown Demon God he had displayed.

It seemed like they had seen this Demon God before.

Leonard didn’t believe for a moment that it was a coincidence, as very few people knew of his JOKER Sequence, let alone recognized it.

But having guessed as much, he also knew his situation was very bad.

Glancing at Scissorhands Edward, Leonard pondered, “The displayed combat power hasn’t exceeded the Seventh Tier, but the Law Understanding is exceptionally high. Strange… why is that?”

In the instant they had clashed just now, he had confirmed the strength of that Undead Spirit.

Indeed it was strong, but definitely not at the Seventh Tier.

Yet, what was bizarre was that the Law Understanding was extremely high, which easily slashed through Leonard’s Tyrant Body Strong Air.

That sensation was like Barre Shepherd before his advancement, in terms of tier, he was still at Legend.

But in terms of combat power, Barre was much stronger than other Legends.

It was a difference in realm.

The combat power Scissorhands Edward had displayed gave him that impression.

However, there weren’t many Barre Shepherds in the world.

Leonard recalled the time-related Rules of his previous train journey and suddenly thought of a possibility: “Could it be the ‘Underworld Train Rules’?”

His intuition told him that this fella might be limited by certain Rules, only being able to demonstrate so much combat power.

After all, the [Neon] Underworld Train itself was a Rule-based Catastrophe of an unknown Quality Tier.

Since the Undead Spirits were on board, they were likely not at a higher tier than the train itself; thus, they had to abide by certain Rules.

The conductor who could freely walk everywhere was the perfect example of this.

With this in mind, Leonard suddenly sneered, “Let’s test it then…”

It was in that moment of realization that the figure of Scissorhands vanished on the spot.

…

“Clang,” “Clang,” “Clang”…

Sparks flew in the carriage, and the sound of clashing metal was incessant.

The two struck each other in rapid succession for four or five rounds, and then, their exceptionally fast shadows separated once again.

With five gashes opened across his chest, barely revealing his beating heart, Leonard was cornered against the wall.

The Undying Curse was rapidly healing his wounds.

Although he had been wounded severely in the skirmish, his face now wore an expression of sudden realization: “So that’s it…”

For him, this was good news.

Not because Scissorhands Edward wasn’t strong enough.

But precisely because, despite the Undead Spirit only demonstrating the strength of a Fifth Tier, it posed a deadly threat to Leonard, who was nearly invincible at the Same Tier. There was a problem!

If the special-grade Undead Spirit that killed two Family Heads of the White Family couldn’t kill him and confirmed his speculation directly.

It was that, on this train, the spiritual bodies could not use strength beyond the tier of humans themselves!

These were the Rules of the [Neon] Train, akin to “no smoking,” which all passengers had to follow!

Leonard didn’t know where these special-grade Undead Spirits in the VIP carriage came from.

But he knew that, in a sense, this train was a place for the White Family’s inheritance trial.

It was a rule set by the ancestors of the White Family!

These special-grade Undead Spirits had likely once been the testing ground for the exceptionally talented Descendants of the White Family.

So, everything made sense.

Not every Legendary Card Master would survive in Barre Shepherd’s hands.

Likewise, not every card master of the same tier would survive under these special-grade Undead Spirits, once of unknown tiers.

Leonard felt that the Undead Spirits he faced could only exhibit the combat power of a “special Fifth Tier.”

If his conjecture proved correct, this was a tremendous advantage.

Even though a single Scissorhands Edward proved so troublesome, Leonard didn’t think he could withstand much longer against a few more.

But at least he had not been killed by an irresistible force…

So, he could hold on for a longer period!

Leonard also felt grateful he hadn’t stayed in the room with Sophia Jones because if it had been breached, they might have been facing a group of “special Seventh Tier” Undead Spirits.

That would have truly been a dead end!
