Yuan Mei was still eagerly hoping that his powerful follow-up attack, which ignored defenses, would take effect and deal heavy damage to his opponent.
Unexpectedly, as he turned his head, someone had stripped away a layer of his Drunk state.
For Ma Lu, acquiring one layer of Drunk didn't mean much, as at least three layers were required to launch a follow-up attack; however, the loss of even one layer for Yuan Mei was a significant problem.
His powerful follow-up attack was suddenly unleashed, but that wasn't all—the drop to eight layers of Drunk automatically shifted him into a greedy drinking state.
Under the greedy drinking state, any damage Yuan Mei received would be further increased by two layers and he was left without any Moves to parry anymore.
What was even more fatal was that Ma Lu still had two cards in hand, as well as ten points of True Qi remaining, and the Ice Skin state still active, enough for him to launch a powerful attack.
