Chapter 1068: Chain Deck
Chapter 1068: Chain Deck
You Xuan: "Place a card face down. Turn end."
Then he politely added,
"Alright, it's your turn again, Chief Yingqi. I've heard your Dueling skills are quite impressive. Don't disappoint me."
Chief Yingqi's face was grim.
The electric mode he had installed was indeed effective, but he only liked shocking others, not himself.
If it were any other time, he would have cursed and had someone shut off the troublesome system. However, with the order from his superior, he not only dared not curse but also had to grit his teeth and force a smile, nodding and saying it was a good shock despite the pain and sweat.
Chief Yingqi clenched his teeth.
He couldn't curse, but since you insisted on an electric Duel, I'll return the pain tenfold through this Duel. Then you'll have nothing to say, right?
"My turn, Draw!"
Chief Yingqi was determined to make this arrogant and domineering superior feel the joy of being shocked.
"I Normal Summon 'Chain Bind Snake'!"
The summoned monster initially looked like a thick iron chain. Upon closer inspection, the chain itself was snake-like, writhing and coiling, with its steel tail striking the ground, sending bright sparks flying.
[Chain Bind Snake, Attack Power 800]
"Chain Bind Snake's monster effect!" Chief Yingqi said, "During my main phase, I can equip this card to one face-up monster on your field as an Equip Card.
The equipped monster's Attack and Defense decrease by 800.
Equip 'Chain Bind Snake' to 'Seven Sword Warrior'!"
The Bind Snake immediately wrapped around the Seven Sword Warrior, quickly entangling its body and severely restricting its movements.
[Seven Sword Warrior, Attack Power 2300 → Attack Power 1500]
The surrounding prisoners immediately started booing.
"Damn, a hard-earned Synchro Monster..."
"How dare you attack the chief! That's outrageous!"
The prisoners, who usually dared not be disrespectful to the chief, took this opportunity to jeer. Chief Yingqi's face turned ashen.
These scoundrels, they act so arrogantly at the first chance. Yet, they are cheering for the chief, so I can't say anything.
But he made a mental note. After today's Duel, once the chief leaves, he would make each of these guys pay.
"Using the monster's equip effect to lower Attack Power, not a bad strategy", You Xuan said with a light laugh. "But at this moment, 'Seven Sword Warrior's' effect was also triggered.
Once per turn, when Seven Sword Warrior is equipped with a card, it inflicts 800 points of damage to your opponent."
Chief Yingqi was shocked, "What!?"
Getting damage when equipping a card? I walked right into it?
You Xuan gently waved his hand, "Seven Sword Warrior, Seven Star Slash!"
Seven Sword Warrior unleashed a powerful slash, and a wave of sword energy cut through Chief Yingqi's face. The holographic impact made Chief Yingqi stagger, and the Duel Disk immediately delivered a strong electric shock.
"Arghhh—"
[Chief Yingqi, LP 3300 → LP 2500]
Chief Yingqi, now smoking and convulsing on the ground, gritted his teeth, "Bastard..."
You Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Sorry, what did you say?"
Chief Yingqi's body stiffened, and he quickly raised his head, forcing a smile that was more painful than a cry, and gave a thumbs-up, "I said, the chief is mighty."
The chief stood up, adjusted his breathing, and clenched his teeth.
No, I have to turn this around through the Duel.
"Attack! Chain Mechanic, attack the 'Seven Sword Warrior' with reduced Attack Power!"
The Mechanic swung his hammer, smashing down. The Seven Sword Warrior, bound by the Chain Bind Snake, moved slowly and was clearly at a disadvantage. After a few turns of battle, the Mechanic's heavy hammer shattered the warrior's sword and then, without losing momentum, smashed directly into its chest.
The Seven Sword Warrior grunted as his golden armor shattered, and he was forced to retreat.
Youxuan, LP 4000 → LP 3900
A mere 100 points of damage, which he accepted without a flicker of emotion, even with his eyes closed. And it wasn't just the 100 points; the electric shock, though real, was controlled to be non-lethal. Compared to the various Darkness Duels he had endured, it felt more like a massage. He dismissed it entirely.
Chief Yingqi gritted his teeth, inwardly regretting the low damage. Indeed, 100 points of damage were far too insignificant to make any real impact.
But his goal wasn't just to deal that little bit of damage.
"At this moment, the other effect of 'Chain Bind Snake' is activated!
When the monster equipped with Chain Bind Snake is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, based on the level of the destroyed monster, the top cards of the opponent's Deck equal to that level are sent to the Graveyard!"
The Chain Bind Snake, now in a ghostly form, shot out and lunged toward Youxuan's Deck.
"The Seven Sword Warrior is a Level 7 monster, so I will send the top seven cards of your Deck to the Graveyard!"
Instantly, seven cards were plucked out by the snake and sent cascading into the Graveyard.
In the prison cell, You Xing spoke in a low, serious tone: "This is a Deck Destruction strategy!"
His cellmate, surprised, asked, "Deck Destruction?"
"Yes", You Xing nodded. "A Duelist is declared the loser if they have no cards left to draw from their Deck. By destroying the opponent's Deck and leaving them with no cards to draw, you can win using the Deck Destruction strategy."
Sending seven cards to the Graveyard in one go, Chief Yingqi felt quite pleased with himself. However, when he saw the expression on the chief's face, he suddenly felt a chill. For some reason, the chief's smile seemed even more unsettling.
Why did the chief, whose Deck had just been damaged, look so happy?
What Chief Yingqi didn't know was that, throughout the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!, successful Deck Destruction strategies were few and far between. The most famous instance was probably when Atem destroyed Malik's Deck during the Duel City arc, and even then, it was with the help of the Traitor Dragon on Malik's field.
"My Turn, Draw."
You Xuan drew a card and smiled slightly.
"A Deck Destruction strategy, huh? That's quite an interesting approach.
Since you like it so much, let me give you a hand."
With that, You Xuan revealed his hand.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Take Over 5' and send the top five cards of my Deck to the Graveyard."
He drew five cards in quick succession, sending them all cascading into the Graveyard.
Chief Yingqi was even more shocked.
Knowing that I'm using a Deck Destruction strategy, he's actually helping me speed it up.
Could it be that the chief is a good person, recognizing my outstanding abilities and intentionally giving me a promotion through this opportunity?
The thought made his heart race.
"I activate the Cover Card, Trap Card 'Synchronic Spirit'", You Xuan said. "I banish a Synchro Monster from my Graveyard.
If the Synchro Materials used to summon that Synchro Monster are in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon those materials from the Graveyard."
This card was unique to 5D's and appeared frequently in the anime, used by many characters. Though it hasn't been released as a real card, it is featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Cards series.
"I banish 'Seven Sword Warrior' from my Graveyard and Special Summon its Synchro Materials from the Graveyard.
Return to the field, Tuner Monster 'Ninja Samurai'!
And 'Sun Priest'!"
