Cataclysm King Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Copying the Secret

Temporarily retreating from the powerful enemy, Katarina exhaled a thick breath.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ji Xun, who was not far away, with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes.

Although the two of them worked together to severely injure Lieutenant Colonel Burton, the price paid was not small.

 One is a waste of life, and the other is trading one's soul to the devil.

The two of them were able to survive until this point simply because they were trading lives for lives, so they couldn't be considered to have taken advantage.

 If they continue to endure it, no one knows when they will die suddenly on the spot.

At this moment, the arrival of the Kak people in front of them seemed to have blocked the last chance of survival for the two of them.

This guy not only brought hundreds of people, but also many experts among them.

However, Catalina's expression was also very calm.

Just now I had the opportunity but didn't leave, and I already had the consciousness of dying in battle.

Her expression was not afraid at all, a heroic spirit lingered on her brows, and the shadow of the devil behind her became more solid.

 Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the white-haired guy not far away with great interest.

  She also laughed at herself in her heart: This guy really enjoyed it.

Although he knew what happened to this guy, under the ferocious clown mask was a pair of red eyes that were so intense with fighting intent.

 At this time, Catalina also thought of the previous conversation between the two.

 She remembered Ji Xun saying that if death could not be avoided, he would look for some happiness at the end of his life.

Now it seems that this guy has really found that kind of happiness.

 And enjoy it very much.

 Just like just now, with a second-level body, he was fighting against a fourth-level one.

 This is a wonderful experience that ordinary people will never have the opportunity to enjoy in their lifetime.

After all, they are teammates fighting together. The fatal crisis of dancing on the tip of a knife and possibly dying at any time always stimulates Katarina's nerves.

She also gradually resonated with him and realized the ultimate charm of life blooming with brilliance.

Her pretty but slightly pale face also showed a relieved smile, and she murmured in her heart: "It seems not bad for life to end in this way."

However, reality did not give the two of them a chance to breathe.

Kak gave an order, and the group of Lionheart Legion, mercenaries, and hunters following him swarmed forward.

 The sound of gunfire hit the ears like a heavy rain.

 The whole block once again shines with dazzling light.

Almost at the moment when the gunshot sounded, Catalina suddenly heard a "pop" sound.

 No need to look.

 She already knew that the extremely excited guy had already rushed over.

 They have already awakened in their hearts, no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not let them back down.

Seeing this, Catalina shook her head slightly.

She is not idle either. She is holding on to the almost depleted spell power and has begun to condense new spells.

The two of them were like two sharp swords, facing the monstrous flood.

"kill!"

 The circle of hundreds of people closed in instantly.

But before the group of people could react, they watched the tall werewolf transformed by Ji Xun step into the air with air blasts one after another, and rushed into the crowd like lightning.

Those people never expected that this wanted criminal would be so rampant. Faced with the siege, instead of running away, he would rush in?

Only a few high-level card masters saw it clearly, but their expressions instantly became solemn.

 Because the opponent's speed is too fast!

 Out of the hundreds of them, there are only a handful of people who can compare.

Just from this point, its combat power is evident.

 But this is just a second-level card master!

 Lieutenant Colonel Burton, who was seriously injured after vomiting blood, was still in the smashed ruins.

These people just now didn't understand why this veteran fourth-level strongman was forced to this extent by a second-level and a third-level man.

Now when they looked at the bloodthirsty werewolf who rushed in arrogantly, and then at the sly shadow of the clown demon behind him, they seemed to understand something.

This guy doesn't just want to survive, he just wants to kill people!

If he chooses to run, the werewolf may have a slim chance of escaping due to his speed, but he may have to face long-range attacks from hundreds of people, and various cards and ammunition can kill him.

 But if you take the initiative to join the crowd, you will definitely die.

Although it ruined his own survival, it would allow him to face less enemies in an instant.

If this tactic does not lead to death, it is simply an attempt to kill more people.

 When thinking of this, the faces of the high-level card masters in the legion changed drastically.

 But it's too late!

The tall werewolf body rushed into the crowd at a speed that was almost an afterimage. Those who were holding firearms and weapons and preparing to intercept them saw the black shadow gradually dispersing before they could react.

 Wait until the picture seen by the eyes turns into nerve signals, and a person finds a slight warmth on his neck, eye sockets, between the eyebrows, and in his heart.

 Blood spilled.

 Consciousness flashed out of my mind.

Suddenly, everything went dark, and life was rapidly slipping away from the body.

 The bodies fell down one after another.

The black shadow moved rapidly, and the trajectory of the red eye seemed to leave a red wave line in the sky.

 Wherever the red line passes, a large number of people are bound to die.

Ji Xun's whole body was filled with billowing black magic power, like a flame gauze clinging to his body.

He was grinning wildly, and there were six shining flying knives floating around him.

 In the state of demon dissolution, Ji Xun felt that his mental power control had reached its extreme.

At this moment, he felt as if his mental power had condensed into a dozen octopus-like tentacles that could be long or short.

 Let him toss those flying knives accurately and dazzlingly like a circus juggler.

  Card masters below level 3 are faced with the new [Enchanted Plague Doctor Scalpel], and they have almost no chance of survival if they cannot avoid it.

 As soon as the thought comes, the flying knife has arrived.

Even for heavily armored black knights and mechanical warriors, as long as they are not fully covered in heavy armor, thin and compact flying knives can easily penetrate into the gaps in the armor.

Even if the flying knife can't kill him, Ji Xun still has him!

　　【二极碰】 is originally an extremely tricky killing technique, but now in the magic solution state, it seems to have an extra "mysterious" prefix.

Blessed by the power of the devil, the skill brings critical hits.

 Died violently with a fist.

Previously, against the fourth-level Bolton, Ji Xun had no choice but to deal with that guy due to the huge level gap.

 But against these card masters below the third level, they almost punched each one.

Ji Xun just killed and charged randomly in the crowd.

 Like a deserted place.

The enemy's advantage in numbers has turned into a liability at this moment.

Like a pile of cabbage trying to block a sharp knife, but it was cut everywhere with broken limbs.

 In just an instant, an atmosphere of terror spread among the encirclement and suppression army.

Those people never figured out why they were bound to kill two people when they came.

But was killed by this reverse attack.

This posture looks like they are surrounded by two people?

 Screams and wails were heard endlessly.

Those masters of level three and above saw the people around them falling in pieces like wheat, and they had no choice but to do anything.

Even if they face such weird killing methods, they have to be careful. How can they still have the energy to take care of others?

Especially those warlock card masters with weak bodies, each one seemed to have seen a ghost, their eyelids twitching.

 The speed is so fast!

It's coming soon, and no one can guarantee that he will be killed next!

 Everyone no longer dares to stand out and earn merit.

 Three or three are close together, covering each other.

 The pressure of death was full the moment the two sides met.

The murderousness and violence shown by werewolves is like an increasingly heavy mountain weighing on everyone's heart.

 Fear, pain, regret, despair.

 All kinds of negative emotions come out like a spurt.

At a level invisible to others, countless colorful "threads of negative emotions" sprang out from the bodies of this group of people, and then converged on Ji Xun.

What he got in return was a sarcastic smile that stretched from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

 Human nature is really greedy and cowardly.

The extraordinary characteristics of those corpses were also swallowed up into Ji Xun's body by the feast.

The group of people led by Kak came well prepared after all, and there were also many professional legions.

Why are these hundreds of people really helpless but not Ji Xun?

No,

have!

There was also an elite team of Lionhearts who immediately organized a counterattack.

 No matter what the enemy is, these well-trained sergeants have a plan to deal with it.

 They use some steel cable blocks, control spells, as well as various mystery cards and special weapons to kill the enemy.

With such a disparity in numbers, normally a second-level card master would die instantly if he came to charge the formation.

Even if it is the third level, if you make a mistake, you will be killed on the spot.

But at this moment, they were facing a demonic personality who was enjoying killing.

 This is the state in which the body can unleash its strongest combat power!

Ji Xun's "Supreme Hegemony" has been brought into full play. His whole body is covered with a bronze metallic luster like cast metal, and the "ding-dong-dang-dang" has blocked him from all kinds of weapons.

 What he got in his hand was the secret book of hegemony discovered by Dong Jiuye, of which he could only understand a very basic part before.

 But all the content has long been understood by heart.

Now that I am in the state of solving the problem, I suddenly have a higher level of cognition. Some things that I could not understand before can be understood all at once.

It was as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, and the proficiency was suddenly greatly improved.

 The display on the skill panel is the most direct.

 The skill level has changed from Lv0 (442/2000) to Lv2 (23/9000).

 Skill proficiency has changed directly from "beginner" to "proficient".

 The double defense of monsters and monsters has increased several times compared with before.

Even if you are really injured, there is still the "Immortal Curse" secret method that was renamed from "Cell Activity Boiling".

Ji Xun knew very well that his life span was short, and he did not hesitate to exchange his limited life span for the unlimited fun at this moment.

 Not to mention this injury, it was much less stressful than resisting Bolton's attack before.

He alone relied on the two forbidden magics of the devil to run rampant among the enemies.

 Katrina, who was not far away, originally wanted to use the secret technique of sound killing to kill those enemies.

 But now looking at the murderous Ji Xun, she instantly felt that it was unnecessary.

 On the contrary, the same shocked expression appeared in his eyes.

When I dealt with the fourth level Bolton before, I also knew that Ji Xun's combat power was extraordinary, but I just thought he was strong.

Now that she was watching Ji Xun killing randomly in the crowd, she deeply realized how terrifying this guy was.

 Yes, it's terrifying.

It seemed that it was not a person, but a demon **** who had descended and harvested the lives of the enemies.

 The efficiency of destroying enemies is not much slower than her secret sound-killing technique.

However, it was only a moment of shock.

The solemn feeling in Katarina's heart was not relieved at all by the shadow of the werewolf who was killing people in the crowd.

 After killing hundreds of people in the blink of an eye, Ji Xun was suddenly stopped.

That was a guy with a two-handed sword on his back, and his whole body was covered in black magic power like Ji Xun.

This man is none other than Artest, the boxing champion of the Innocence City Gangster Brotherhood.

Ji Xun's secret method of "Gluttony" was still spread from this person.

Normally speaking, even a third-level card master would not be able to stop him without restraint.

 However, just when Ji Xun was on guard against a sneak attack by a higher-level card master, this guy suddenly blocked his way.

"Huh!"

Ji Xun was also very surprised.

 Because he found that one of his invincible scalpels was actually under control?

At a glance from the corner of my eye, I saw a scalpel that seemed to be stuck in a piece of wood, strangely suspended in mid-air and motionless.

 “Artest?”

Ji Xunye recognized this acquaintance immediately.

That layer of mantra flames that is half a foot away from the body is the qigong master's exclusive professional ability - mantra transformation.

The current flying knives have an excellent magic-breaking effect. Normally, even a third-level card master's body-protecting seal can break defenses.

 But what happens is that this magical power is purely a physical method.

 Use the power of mantra to form a layer of high-density gas on the body surface.

The blade was stuck in mid-air before it even touched the opponent's body, unable to move forward.

This method almost completely suppresses various long-range weapons.

Ji Xun quickly took back the flying knife.

With just this touch, he knew that this was a way to restrain himself, but what was more refreshing in his heart was curiosity: "Tsk, tsk, this guy has become very strong after advancing to the third level."

  After all, they practice the same breathing method, and they are both qigong masters.

This method makes people see the cleverness and ingenuity at a glance.

This Artest is very different.

 Level 3 card masters who want to condense their own curse seals need great opportunities and insights.

 Spell sealing is like knitting a sweater. Different career paths require different techniques. Almost everyone knits a different pattern.

 The effects are also different.

 Patterns are various geometric patterns and lines. They are usually closed loops of single elements.

 Looking at the curse mark on Artest's body, it's very special.

Like chainmail, the structure is very complex and interlocking.

 It seems like various elements are cleverly connected together.

From a pattern perspective alone, its complexity far exceeds any other curse seal Ji Xun has ever seen.

 “Strange, how did this guy figure it out?”

Ji Xun is currently in a state of demonic solution. His super high understanding and cognition blessed by the clown mask allow him to understand many things that are beyond the comprehension of his level.

He could see at a glance that the complexity of this curse seal law was definitely not something that a normal card master of this level could understand.

 It was so complex that it made him feel like he was seeing an advanced demonic language.

  It's more like some kind of higher-level existence "weaved" this kind of curse seal and asked Atai to wear it.

 “Tsk, tsk.”

Ji Xun glanced at the big sword that Artai was carrying behind him, and seemed to understand something.

"Bang!" However, without further observation, the sound of breaking wind sounded like an artillery bombardment.

That guy punched me hard.

Ji Xun saw with his naked eyes a fist mark that distorted the air formed on Artai's fist a few meters away.

 “Tiger Cannon Fist!”

 Artest's famous stunts.

 The miraculous skills are passed down in the underground boxing circles.

 Relying on vibration waves, it can severely damage heavy armor professionals from a distance.

This guy was originally the undefeated boxing champion of the underground black market in Innocence City. He followed the melee fighting route, and his martial arts were all killing skills honed in death battles.

 At the same level, it is difficult to find someone stronger than him with melee combat experience.

This punch was very tricky, almost the moment Ji Xun saw it, the force of the punch hit him.

 A "dong" sound.

Even though Ba Ti had lost most of his strength, he couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood.

 This is the method used by high-level qigong masters.

 Even from a distance, he has the ability to fatally injure the enemy!

Ji Xun took a few steps back and just stabilized his body. A green light appeared in his heart and he quickly repaired his body.

However, Artest didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, and rushed over like a shadow.

Various exquisite fighting skills make his fists resemble two cannons and his legs resemble two iron whips.

Anything you touch will be hit hard.

Ji Xun's fighting skills are actually not bad, and his physical attributes have already surpassed Artest.

 At least he could have been undefeated.

But it was during these few rounds of fighting between the two that he was surprised to find that he was beaten back and forth?

 After the actual fight, Ji Xun realized that his fighting skills were not at the same level as Artest's.

Moreover, this guy's understanding of the “qi” of qigong masters has reached an incredible level.

 Use skill to defeat force, use Qi to relieve force.

 Very weird feeling.

Ji Xun felt as if his fist was hitting cotton, and the force would be removed by the first mate in a very short period of time.

 Before contacting the opponent's body, the fist slipped and the force of the punch was deflected?

This made Ji Xun unable to display much of his overwhelming physical attributes.

This makes the two of them immediately stand out as soon as they fight against each other.

Whether it is a flying knife or a close combat method, they are all restrained to death by Atena's magical power.

If Ji Xun hadn't narrowly avoided Artest's attacks many times due to his high agility attribute, he felt that he would have even been defeated in a short time.

 But because they couldn't be beaten to death, the battle between the two sides instantly entered a state of anxiety.

 Because of this guy's restraint, Ji Xun couldn't spare any time to do anything else.

 The situation seemed to be under control instantly.

　　Seeing Artest dragging Ji Xun down, and looking like he was being pressed down and beaten, the dark face of Young Master Kak relaxed a little.

 All the sergeants also breathed a sigh of relief.

 At least you don't have to face the frightening death crisis just now.

Katrina, not far away, looked worried in her eyes and didn't understand: Why should I fight this guy if he can't beat him?

 But she had too much time to take care of herself, dealing with the enemies that were besieging her.

 During the fierce battle, Ji Xun became more and more frustrated as he fought, but his mind was also racing at the same time.

He wants to escape, but Artest really can't catch him.

 But it makes no sense.

With this person in check, both throwing knives and close-quarters killing methods are greatly limited.

 Killing a few more minions doesn't make any sense to him at the moment.

Most importantly, when Ji Xun looked at Atai's weird Qi control method, he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart: "Where did this guy learn such a clever method?"

 The City of Innocence is a place of exile.

Although there are hidden masters, there are definitely not as many top-level inheritances as in other places.

This Artest not only knows the mysterious magic "Gluttony", but also has this superb air control method?

With just these two hands, the combat power is already outstanding among the third-level masters carefully trained by the nobles.

Ji Xun had doubts about Atai's inheritance before.

 Information merchants don't know.

  Master Dong Jiu seemed to know, but didn't say anything.

 Don't think about it, it definitely has a great background.

 But now is not the time to think about this.

The more he typed, the more Ji Xun thought he had seen similar descriptions somewhere.

However, just at this thought, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of something: "Gong Style Thirty-two Ways of Traveling Palm!"

Ji Xun thought of the fragments of the exclusive legendary martial arts of qigong masters that Dong Jiu also gave him before.

The most important secret of qigong masters recorded there is about the use of "qi".

 Using the powerful mantra power to condense into qi, the fists vibrate into waves, use qi as armor, and twist the qi to release the force.

No wonder Artest's method seems familiar to him.

　　It's exactly the same!

Isn't [Tiger Cannon Boxing] exactly the same approach?

 Isn't this the basic application of "Qi" in Gong Style Youshen Zhang?

 “So that's it. So that's how 'qi control' is!”

When Ji Xun came here, he suddenly became enlightened.

 Suddenly he grinned.

 It was this moment of inspiration. What I couldn't understand before seemed to be understood in an instant.

 He looked at Artest's fists and kicks again, and the words described in the secret book immediately came to his mind.

 The rules of Qi pulse surges and the order of muscle exertion are clear.

 It was impossible to get started before.

Now that someone is practicing it on site, it suddenly becomes concrete.

Ji Xun did not dodge anymore, but received a few punches firmly, feeling the changes in the strength of the opponent's punches subtly.

 At the same time, enlightenment also keeps reminding.

“You have understood the 'Introduction to Air Control', and your proficiency is +33”

“You have understood the 'Introduction to Air Control', and your proficiency is +31”

“You have understood 'Tiger Cannon Fist Lv0 (2/300)'.”

The super high comprehension and cognition blessed by the magic solution state allowed Ji Xun's brain to quickly learn and master the new things he saw.

The smile on his face became brighter and brighter: "Tsk tsk. JOKER's magic solution, it turns out that it has this learning effect."

 Artest had a bad feeling in his heart when he saw Ji Xun's sudden change in play style.

 Although I don't know why this guy suddenly chose to “get beaten”.

 But seeing the smile gradually rising at the corners of Ji Xun's lips, Atai became more and more uneasy.

 The next moment, his expression changed drastically.

 Because it was at this moment that he discovered that the other party had actually punched him in the Qi!

The punching force is neither painful nor itchy.

 But, it's the first time!

"How can it be?!"

 Atai was shocked.

 How could it hit me without a high level of understanding of "qi"?

 But as someone who has been immersed in Qigong for many years, he knows how difficult it is to understand "Qi control".

　　It also took him nearly ten years of hard training before he mastered this secret.

However, what frightened him was yet to come.

 After the first punch, he unexpectedly found that every subsequent punch from his opponent hit his own Gang Qi.

This means that the other party has completely mastered the secret of "qi control".

how could it be possible.

Having just fought, Artest was very sure that the opponent was an opponent who only knew rudimentary qigong.

We have only fought for a few rounds, how come you are so good?

Ji Xun watched the change in Artai's expression, and the teasing curve of his mouth became higher and higher.

 The solution to the devil coupled with the great terror between life and death, he understood more than this.

Enlightenment is constantly refreshing.

“'Supreme Overlord' skill proficiency +15”

“'Immortal Curse' skill proficiency +21”

"'Erjibeng' skill proficiency +24"

  「'Langfang Wind Fist' skill +」

“You have comprehended the 'Gong Style Thirty-two Ways Traveling Palm Lv0 (23/1000)', proficiency +11”

 All skills have increased proficiency visibly to the naked eye, almost dozens of times higher than usual.

　　He had already memorized the secret book of [Palace Palm] by heart before, but now he has learned it through this battle!

Although I have not learned the complete Palace Style Thirty-two Roads Youshen Palm, I at least understand the basic boxing technique [Tiger Cannon Fist]!

 At this moment, Artest came with another heavy punch.

 “Tsk tsk. Are you still coming?”

Ji Xun's eyes were full of sneers when he saw this.

His fists suddenly formed circles of strange ripples, without dodge at all, he punched them hard.

 “Boom!”

 When his fists touched, ripples of air spread out.

 The two of them flew out at the same time.

After retreating for more than ten meters, Ji Xun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned his white teeth, and laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha."

That laugh is the joy of mastering a new skill,

  It is also a mockery of the opponent.

 I didn't understand it just now, and I didn't have the solution. Now, that's all.

On the opposite side, although Artest was not seriously injured, he was staring at his fist in disbelief.

He was absolutely right. In that punch just now, this guy used [Tiger Cannon Fist]?

This is his own unique skill, how could this guy do it!

 Why did you suddenly use it when you clearly didn't know it before?

 Atai felt that his mind could hardly turn around.

He suddenly thought of a possibility that he couldn't believe: Could it be that he just learned it?

 Atai thought of this, and when he looked at Ji Xun opposite, he felt an unprecedented panic in his heart.

right!

 That's panic!

 The panic about the enemy's learning ability!

He couldn't imagine how much the other side would learn if the fight continued like this.

 Artest knew very well that once the threshold of "air control" was crossed, the strength of the guy in front of him would skyrocket again.

　　Just now, he was full of confidence, but now, he has absolutely no confidence that he can kill the person in front of him.

This shocking scene was also seen by others.

Ordinary people can't see any difference between the two fists just now.

 But those people with high vision in Catalina saw it at a glance.

 “That guy actually learned it?!”

Katrina is familiar with the methods of various career paths, and also knows the term "qi control" of qigong masters.

Just now she saw Ji Xun being beaten and retreating, and she knew that she had suffered a big loss in this regard.

 Originally, I thought that Ji Xun, who was also a qigong master, was restrained and had no chance of winning.

However, he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye after being beaten, he would actually learn the opponent's methods?

Katrina was filled with surprises.

 She knew clearly that Ji Xun had not mastered this secret before.

 The only explanation is that I just learned it!

Although the great horror between life and death can make people realize.

 Katrina herself is in this state now.

 But it's not enough!

An idea flashed through her mind, and she seemed to understand something. She saw the shadow of the clown behind Ji Xun, and murmured to herself: "What a powerful learning ability!"

 But more importantly, people!

That guy, what an exaggerated ability he showed by risking his life!

Seeing this scene, Catalina was inexplicably affected, and her heart seemed to surge with high-spirited fighting spirit.

 Pursue this far, even death is enough!

At the moment of heroic excitement in her heart, Catalina herself seemed to have realized something, and the demon phantom behind her suddenly glowed with divine light.

　　It wasn't just Catalina who understood this scene.

There is also that young man Kake.

He thought that the encirclement and suppression was a sure thing, but now it seemed that something had happened.

　　Kak watched helplessly as Ji Xun understood a certain method and resisted the attack of his own men.

 He also guessed that it might be because of the unknown clown demon.

 Looking at his cousin again, she was also glowing with fighting strength, as if she had sensed some great opportunity.

 Burning with jealousy.

 If you continue to waste it, there may be changes!

Kak also made a prompt decision and ordered: "Kill him!"

This time I came in a hurry. Although I didn't bring many experts, I did have a fifth-level guard.

 I didn't think it was necessary just now.

 But in this short period of time, the situation became so strange that we had to take action.

The fifth-level guard listened to the order and was about to kill Ji Xun and the two of them quickly.

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared.

　　A lazy voice sounded from the darkness of a ruined building.

 “Hey, hey, hey, don't move.”

Everyone turned around and saw a man wearing a deerstalker hat and holding a black umbrella walking out unhurriedly.

 It's not someone else.

It is the great detective from Dragon City, Robin!
