Cataclysm King

Chapter 188 The secret of copying
After temporarily retreating from the powerful enemy, Katarina exhaled a breath of turbidity.

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

Although the two of them had just teamed up to severely injure Lieutenant Colonel Burton, the price paid was not small.

One consumes lifespan, and the other trades 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.

Not only did this guy bring hundreds of people, there were also many experts among them.

However, Catalina looked very calm.

I had the opportunity just now but didn't leave, and I already had the consciousness of fighting to the death.

She didn't look afraid at all, a heroic spirit lingered on her brows, and the phantom 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 remembers Ji Xun saying that if death cannot be avoided, he will find some happiness at the end of his life.

Now it seems that this guy has really found that joy.

And enjoyed it.

Just like just now, with a second-level body, he was resisting 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 good that life ends in this way."

However, reality gave them no 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 my ears like a heavy rain.

The entire street once again shone with dazzling light.

Almost at the moment 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, and no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not let them back down.

Seeing this, Catalina shook her head slightly.

She was not idle either, holding on to the almost exhausted spell power, she began 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 could react, they watched Ji Xun's incarnation as a tall werewolf stepping 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!
Among 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 Bolton, who was seriously injured after vomiting blood, was still in the smashed ruins.

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

Now, looking at the bloodthirsty werewolf who rushed in arrogantly, and then looking at the cunning clown demon behind him, they seemed to understand something.

This guy doesn't just want to live, 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 life, it would save him from facing too many enemies in an instant.

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

At the thought of this, the expressions 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.

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

Blood spilled.

Consciousness flashed out of my mind.

His eyes suddenly went dark, and life was rapidly slipping away from his body.

Corpses collapsed 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 body was covered with billowing black magic power, like a flame gauze clinging to his body.

He grinned 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.

It was like he was juggling in a circus, tossing those flying knives accurately and dazzlingly.

Card masters below level [-] 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, there is still Ji Xun himself!

[Erji Collapse] 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 strikes.

He 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 level gap.

But against these card masters below the third level, almost every one punched them.

Ji Xun just killed and charged randomly in the crowd.

It's like no man's land.

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

It was like a pile of cabbage trying to block a sharp knife, but it was cut everywhere with stumps and 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 he was killed by this reverse attack.

This posture actually looks like they are surrounded by two people?

There were endless screams and wailing.

Those masters of level three and above were helpless when they saw the people around them falling down in pieces like wheat.

Even if they were faced with such a weird killing method, they had to be careful. How could they still have the energy to take care of others?
Especially those warlock card masters with weak bodies, their eyelids twitched as if they had seen a ghost.

The speed is too fast!
It's almost here, and no one can guarantee that he will be killed next!
No one dares to stand up and earn merit.

Twos and threes are close together, covering each other.

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

The bloodthirsty and brutality displayed by the werewolves was like an increasingly heavy mountain weighing on everyone's hearts.

Fear, pain, regret, despair.
All kinds of negative emotions came 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 exchange was a sarcastic smile that stretched from the corner of his mouth to his ears.

Human nature is so greedy and cowardly.

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

After all, the group of people led by Kak came well prepared, and there were many professional legions.

Why do these hundreds of people really have nothing to do but Ji Xun?

Do not,
Have!
There was also an elite team of Lionhearts who immediately organized a counterattack.

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

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

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

Even at level three, any mistake would result in death 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 fighting power!
Ji Xun's "Supreme Hegemony" has been used to its extreme. His whole body is covered in 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 domineering body 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 in the state of demonic solution, I suddenly have a higher level of cognition. Some things that I couldn't understand before can be understood all of a sudden.

It was as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, and his proficiency suddenly increased a lot.

The display on the skill panel is the most direct.

技能等级就从Lv0（442/2000），变成了Lv2（23/9000）。

Skill proficiency directly changes from "beginner" to "proficient".

The double defense of objects and demons has increased several times compared to before.

Even if he is really injured, there is still the secret method of "Immortality Curse" after "Cell Activity Boiling" was renamed.

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.

What's more, this injury is much less stressful than when he resisted Bolton's attack.

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

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

But now looking at Ji Xun who was already killing him, she instantly felt that it was unnecessary.

Instead, the same shocked expression appeared in his eyes.

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

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

Yes, it is horror.

It seemed that it was not a person, but a demon god 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 did not ease in the slightest because of 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.

It 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 person is none other than Artest, the boxing champion of the Gangster Brotherhood in Innocence City.

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

Normally, 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.

"what!"

Ji Xun also felt very surprised.

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

With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw a scalpel suspended in mid-air, as if it was stuck in a piece of wood.

"Artest?"

Ji Xun also recognized this acquaintance immediately.

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

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

But it just so happens 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.

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

This method almost completely suppresses various long-range weapons.

Ji Xun quickly retracted 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 others see the cleverness and ingenuity at a glance.

This Artest is very different.

If a third-level card master wants to condense his own curse seal, he needs great opportunities and insights.

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

The effect is 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 all the elements are cleverly connected together.

Just from the perspective of pattern, its complexity far exceeds any curse seal Ji Xun has ever seen.

"Strange, how did this guy figure it out?"

Ji Xun is now 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 complicated that he felt like he was seeing a high-level demonic language.

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

"Tsk tsk."

Ji Xun glanced at the big sword carried behind Artai and seemed to understand something.

"Bang!" However, before any further observation, the sound of breaking wind sounded like an artillery bombardment.

The guy punched him hard.

With his naked eyes, Ji Xun saw a fist mark that distorted the air condensed on Artest's fist a few meters away.

"Tiger Cannon Fist!"

Artest's famous stunt.

The miraculous skills are spread among 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.

"Boom" sound.

Even though the overlord body had lost most of its 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, and rushed over like a shadow.

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

Anyone who touches it will be hit hard.

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

Originally he could at least be undefeated.

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

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

Moreover, this guy's understanding of the "qi" of a qigong master has reached an incredible level.

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

Very weird feeling.

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

Before it came into contact with 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 made the two of them immediately stand out as soon as they met.

Whether it was flying knives or melee combat methods, they were 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, he felt that he would have been defeated in a short period of time.

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

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 beaten and suppressed, the dark face of Young Master Kak relaxed a little.

The sergeants also breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Catalina, who was not far away, looked very worried in her eyes, but she didn't understand: This guy can't beat him, so he still fights?

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

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

If he wants to escape, Artest really can't catch him.

But it doesn't make sense.

With this person restraining him, both his throwing knives and his own close-quarters killing methods were greatly limited.

Killing a few more minions doesn't mean anything to him at the moment.

And the most important thing is that 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 Innocence City 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 top-notch among the third-level masters carefully trained by the nobles.

Ji Xun had doubts about Atai's inheritance before.

The intelligence dealer doesn't know.

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

No need to think about it, it definitely has a great background.

But now is not the time to think about that either.

The more he fought, 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: "Palace style 32-way swimming palm!"

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

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

Condensing the powerful mantra power into Qi, shaking the fist into waves, using Qi as armor, twisting Qi to release force.
No wonder I feel that Artest’s method is familiar.

Simply the same!
[Tiger Cannon Fist] Isn’t this exactly the way to go?
Isn't this the basic application of "qi" in the Palace Style Youshen Palm?

"That's it. So that's how 'qi control' is!"

When Ji Xun thought of this, he suddenly became enlightened.

Suddenly he grinned.

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

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

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

I couldn't get started before.

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

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

At the same time, Enlightenment also kept 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."

Artai looked at Ji Xun's sudden change of play and had a bad feeling in his heart.

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

But seeing the smile gradually rising at the corner of Ji Xun's mouth, Artai became more and more uneasy.

The next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

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

Although the force of the punch was neither painful nor itchy.

But, the first hit came!

"how is this possible?!"

Artest was shocked.

How could it hit me without a super high 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 took him nearly ten years of hard training to master this secret.

But 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 a rudimentary qigong.

We've only fought for a few rounds, how could you do it?
Ji Xun watched the change in Artai's expression, and the corners of his mouth became more and more playful.

The magic solution coupled with the great terror between life and death, he realized more than this.

Enlightenment keeps refreshing.

"'Supreme Body' skill proficiency +15"

"'Immortal Curse' skill proficiency +21"

"'Episode' skill proficiency +24"

"'Langfang Wind Fist' skill+"

「伱领悟了‘宫式32路游身掌Lv0（23/1000）’，熟练度+11」

"."

All skills are almost dozens of times more proficient than usual, and their proficiency has skyrocketed visibly to the naked eye.

He had already memorized the secret book of [Palace Palm] by heart before, but now after this battle, he has also learned it!
Although I haven’t learned the complete 32-way Palace style swimming 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?"

When Ji Xun saw this, his eyes were full of sneers.

His fists suddenly formed circles of strange ripples, and without any dodge, he charged forward with a heavy punch.

"Boom!"

When his fists touched, ripples of air spread out.

The two flew out at the same time.

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

That laughter is the joy of mastering new skills,

It is also a mockery of the opponent.

I didn’t understand it just now, and I still had no solution, but now, that’s all.

On the opposite side, although Artest was not seriously injured, he was staring at his fist with eyes full of 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 obviously didn't know it before?

Artest 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?

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

Correct!
Just panic!

That kind of 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 he passed the threshold of "qi control", the strength of the guy in front of him would skyrocket again.

He was full of confidence just now, 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 with high vision in Catalina saw it at a glance.

"That guy actually learned it?!"

Catalina is familiar with the methods of various career paths, and also knows what qigong masters say about "controlling qi."

Just watching Ji Xun being beaten back and forth, she knew that she had suffered a big loss in this regard.

I originally 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?
Catalina 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.

Catalina herself is in this state now.

But not enough!

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

But more important are the people!
That guy risked his life to show such exaggerated abilities!

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

If you pursue this far, death is enough!
At the moment of heroic excitement in her heart, Catalina herself seemed to realize something, and the demonic shadow behind her suddenly glowed with divine light.

Catalina wasn't the only one who understood this scene.

And that young man Kak.

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 men.

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

Then he saw that his cousin was also glowing with fighting strength, as if he had sensed some great opportunity.

Burning with jealousy.

If it continues to be consumed, 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 he 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.

no one else.

It's the great detective from Dragon City, Robin!
