-1000 LP! Ma Qingxue was left with 8900 Life Points!
The card in You Feng's backrow had been destroyed, meaning he no longer had any set cards remaining.
"I'm switching Darklord Superbia to Attack Position! Attack Harpie Perfumer!" Ma Qingxue's eyes locked onto the monster on You Feng's field.
Darklord Superbia unfurled its massive, sky-blotting crimson wings and soared across the field, its claws tearing Harpie Perfumer apart in a single strike!
-1500 LP! A violent hurricane swept through the arena, and You Feng's Life Points plummeted to 6500.
"I activate the effect of my Continuous Spell, Alluring Mirror Split! When a Harpie Lady on my field is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one Harpie monster from my deck with a different name than the destroyed card."
"The monster I Special Summon is Harpie Oracle! I'll place her in Defense Position!" You Feng shouted with a wave of his hand. A blue-haired Harpie girl appeared on his field, crouching low in a defensive stance.
"Hmph, not bad. You can still withstand my momentum," Ma Qingxue remarked. "Darklord Ixchel, attack Harpie Oracle!" Her offensive was like a relentless storm, one link chaining into the next, showing absolutely no intention of letting You Feng catch his breath.
In the heat of a duel, there were no friends. A true battle could only be realized when both sides fought with everything they had.
This was exactly why You Feng wanted to defeat Ma Qingxue fair and square in this Battle Royale. Anything less would leave a lingering regret in his heart. If one lacked the courage to face their own true strength, they could never hope to surpass themselves.
Knowing this, You Feng's gaze became unwavering.
Darklord Ixchel flew forward, her silver-bell laughter echoing through the air as she streaked past. With a sharp cry, Harpie Oracle was shattered on the spot. You Feng's field was now completely empty.
"I'm not done yet! Darklord Tezcatlipoca, attack You Feng directly!" Ma Qingxue waved her slender hand again. Darklord Tezcatlipoca dove from the sky, dealing 2800 damage to You Feng.
-2800 LP! You Feng's Life Points dropped to a precarious 3700.
You Feng furrowed his brows, teeth clenched as he endured the shock of the impact.
Regardless of the outcome, he had to face this fight. Moreover, he didn't believe for a second that he would lose.
The bullet chat army struck again.
"You Feng was suddenly stripped down to 3700 LP. This is getting way too difficult; the Darklord deck is terrifying."
"Darklords are a top-tier archetype to begin with, and now the user is the famous Ma Qingxue. Who could possibly stand up to this?"
"My husband is so pitiful right now!"
Ma Qingxue set one card face-down and said calmly, "I set one card and end my turn!"
"Wait! During your End Phase, I activate the effect of Hysteric Sign from my Graveyard!" You Feng looked up, his gaze sharpening as his voice rang out.
"When did that card enter the Graveyard...?" Ma Qingxue hesitated, momentarily stunned.
"Did you forget? That card was the one I had set on my field earlier, the one you destroyed with Darklord Rebellion. It seems your attention was so focused on the destruction itself that you didn't look at what you were destroying," You Feng said with a smirk.
"When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can add three Harpie cards with different names from my deck to my hand!" You Feng quickly added three cards to his hand.
"And I'm still not done! Simultaneously, the Harpie Oracle I Special Summoned earlier already triggered her effect. During the End Phase of a turn she was Summoned or Special Summoned, I can add one Spell or Trap card from my Graveyard to my hand that mentions Harpie Lady Sisters. And the card I'm taking back is Hysteric Sign!"
In a single turn, You Feng had essentially replenished four cards. This kind of chain-searching allowed him to grab exactly what he needed while significantly thinning his deck.
Ma Qingxue's expression turned incredibly solemn. Realization dawned in her eyes. "So, you already knew my Darklord Rebellion was ready. You deliberately set a card that needed to be destroyed just to trigger Hysteric Sign?"
"Impressive... Truly impressive..." Seeing You Feng smile without saying a word, Ma Qingxue couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The spectators were stunned. Even under such overwhelming pressure, You Feng was able to account for his opponent's goals and plan several steps ahead.
Was he a monster?
"My turn! Draw!" You Feng drew a card.
"From my hand, I activate the Spell card, Pot of Greed! I draw two cards from my deck."
"Lucky... I activate another Pot of Greed! I draw two more cards." You Feng drew four cards in one breath. The thrill of cycling through his deck was undeniably refreshing.
"My counterattack is starting now. I'm going to show you that an Aggro Winged Beast deck isn't necessarily weaker than Darklords!" You Feng's eyes flashed with a brilliant light.
