Cataclysm King

Chapter 228 Domination Fist (please subscribe)

Once the Oran survivors left, only Ji Xun and Gong Wu were left in the mine.

Those are outsiders.

They seem to be the masters.

Jumping off the cliff and standing on the messy ruins, Ji Xun picked up the glowing "turbid crystals of fighting spirit" among the rubble with great interest.

Don't look at it, the most indispensable thing in the mine is this stuff, you can see it everywhere.

But in the outside world, this is high-quality spiritual material that is hard to come by.

Moreover, Ji Xun's own needs are also very great.

After all, he couldn't stay in the mines all his life and practice hard. These crystal nuclei were like dry food, which could greatly increase his mental strength.

The more the better.

"Hey, there are so many crystal nuclei exploded."

Ji Xun searched everywhere and found a huge harvest.

The seventh floor of this mine is the most polluted, and it also produces the highest quality crystal nuclei in the entire mine.

Above the fourth floor, there are mostly diamond-like crystal nuclei.

The size of the fingernail is already the best.

But here, walnut-sized crystal nuclei can be seen everywhere.

Fist-sized crystal nuclei can also be seen occasionally.

In the past two months of staying in the mine, Ji Xun had actually gone through it in his spare time, and he also knew that there were more in the rock formations.

Unfortunately, the rock walls get harder as you go down the mine, comparable to alloys, and are very difficult to mine.

Fortunately, the previous battle involving tens of thousands of undead knights was very noisy, with many rock blocks collapsing and many crystal cores falling out of them.

Naturally, the dignified new king of Oran would not do the work of a low-level person who collects ore. He probably felt that it was his own mine anyway and things would not escape, so he left angrily.

This was also convenient for Ji Xun.

Just like picking mushrooms, he found a forest of mushrooms in the forest, one after another, overwhelming.

On the other side, Gong Wu stood in front of the bottomless pit, thinking about something.

Then he jumped.

It didn't take long before he jumped up again.

Ji Xun looked at the people coming up and asked curiously: "Senior, what did you find?"

Thinking that the new king of Oran just went down and fished out some broken armors and stuff, maybe there would be a surprise.

"It's nothing."

The old man shrugged and responded: "Those people channeled the heroic spirits of the Moon Cross Knights before, and now the spiritual pollution in this pit has become smaller. I just went down and took a look. I can see the stone tablet clearly. If I go further, I can't see anything anymore. I can't find the bottom."

"Oh?"

When Ji Xun heard this, he also walked over.

He stood beside the pit and looked down.

Before, it was like a pool of ink, completely black.

Now it looks like it is filled with fog, and a black obelisk can be vaguely seen.

Looking at this style, Ji Xun muttered in his mind: "It really is the same style."

This is exactly the same as the one he saw in the underground palace of Xia Mu City ruins before.

But at the same time, he was also filled with curiosity. What exactly was recorded on this stone tablet?
He remembered that Catalina was led by Old Man Xu to observe the stone tablet, and then directly understood the magic solution.

Ji Xun looked really greedy.

Now he encountered another stone tablet. He couldn't help but wanted to take a look at it, so he asked: "Senior, what is written on that stone tablet?"

Last time, Old Man Xu didn't know why he was avoiding something, so he didn't say anything.

I don’t know if the old man in front of me knows this.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head decisively and said, "How do I know?"

As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun's questioning look of "How could you not know?", and felt a little embarrassed. He did not forget to explain: "This stone tablet is recorded in high-level devil language. I am not a [Eruditionist] path. How can you understand it?"

I paid it by mistake.

I thought you, senior, could understand.

Ji Xun glanced at it faintly, but also thought to himself: I only met a few people who can understand.

After thinking about it, he remembered that in addition to Old Man Xu, Che Er and Catalina, there was also a cloaked man from the Thirteen Kamen Riders who also went to watch.

Now that I think about that mask, I realize it is the "Light Chaser".

Thinking of this, a thought came to Ji Xun's mind unconsciously: Could that person have also seen this stone tablet?
After all, this mine has been discovered for many years.

Or maybe this senior also knows Old Man Xu?

No matter who I met, I felt that the fate was amazing.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun asked casually: "Senior, has anyone come to inspect this stone tablet before?"

Hearing this, Gong Wu didn't know what he thought of. He paused for a moment, showed a hint of caution on his brows, and asked, "Why do you want to ask this?"

Ji Xun originally asked casually, but when he thought about the tone, he really did?
He suddenly realized that this might involve some secret, and became even more curious: "I have encountered a stone tablet like this before. By the way, do you know Old Man Xu? There is a man nicknamed 'Dog King'."

He didn't dare to be too straightforward.

After all, the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu is very fatal.

Even if you talk about it, you will be involved.

This kind of cause and effect has nothing to do with rank strength, but fate.

"."

Upon hearing this, Gong Wu's expression became even weirder.

He looked at Ji Xun from side to side, seeming even more surprised: Why do you know him?

After pondering for a moment, the old man said cautiously: "Are you a wretched old man with missing front teeth? And he often forgets things?"

Ji Xun heard this description and said, "Do you really know him?"

It's as if time has been suspended.

Silence fell in the mine.

Both men realized that they were talking about the same person.

And obviously, Gong Wu also knew the cause and effect involved in Old Man Xu.

"That senior."

Gong Wu's expression was very complicated and he hesitated to speak.

After all, he didn't say it out loud.

Instead, he looked at Ji Xun and said meaningfully: "That's right. You've met your fate, and it's normal for you to survive."

"."

Ji Xun rolled his eyes.

This old man obviously also knows about "cause and effect".

Gong Wu continued: "I know what you want to ask. But I don't know either. 'That one' is an unsolvable mystery to anyone."

"Oh."

Ji Xun listened and didn't ask any more questions.

But then he asked about another one, and said: "Then do you know the "Light Chaser" of the Thirteen Kamen Riders? "

As soon as these words came out, Gong Wu, the old man opposite, twitched his face and looked at Ji Xun like he was looking at a monster: "Do you still know that guy?"

And what a coincidence.

The two people Ji Xun asked had actually come to observe this stone tablet.

But Gong Wu knew very well that this was a topic that could not be mentioned to others.

"."

Looking at the old man's expression, Ji Xun knew that he might have guessed correctly.

But he was actually more curious about whether the "Light Chaser" was the mushroom-headed Jia Yu he knew.

There were only a few people standing on the top of the mountain enjoying the scenery, and they probably knew each other.

He felt that the old man might know it, so he said directly: "I have seen the "Light Chaser" several times."

The topic of the Thirteen Knights is not a taboo. Gong Wu looked at Ji Xun with a slightly complicated expression mixed with doubts: "Do you really know Gurney?"

"???"

When Ji Xun heard this unfamiliar name, he shook his head and realized that he seemed to have guessed wrong.

He asked back: "Do you know a man named Jia Yu, who has a mushroom head and is a little younger than me?"

Gong Wu also shook his head: "I don't know him."

"."

Ji Xun felt as if he had guessed wrong.

Maybe Mushroom Head is just a member of the Thirteen Knights, not the leader?
The stone tablet was at his feet, and Ji Xun's curiosity became more and more intense.

He returned to the previous topic and asked: "Senior, what is that stone tablet? Can you tell me?"

Gong Wu obviously thought about whether he could say it, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This is called the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet]. It is said to record the secrets of the 'catastrophe' that led to the fall of the Talon Dynasty. There are also some that are not currently available. Cracking taboo content.”

Ji Xun: Catastrophe?

The Old World is now full of ruins and human beings are banned. He is also curious about what kind of civilization-destroying disaster happened 3000 years ago.

Seeing Ji Xun's longing look, he added: "Don't count on me. I can't understand it either. That guy Gu Ni can understand a little bit, but... he said that only those who can understand this stone tablet Only people are qualified to see it.”

"Oh?"

When Ji Xun heard this, his expression lit up.

In other words, as long as you can understand it, you can watch it, right?

He was previously worried that the content on the stone tablet had some "indescribable" pollution, and that reading it would cause him to go crazy.

Now that I hear it, it seems like I can try it?

He proposed enthusiastically: "Senior, how about you take me down to have a look?"

Ji Xun couldn't get down by himself, so he could only count on this person.

When Gong Wu heard this, he was not surprised that Ji Xun continued to think about it, but he was surprised: "You kid can still understand advanced devil language?"

"A little bit."

Ji Xun responded, adding: "How much you can understand depends on your luck."

I couldn't understand it before, but after solving JOKER's magic, I was able to understand some of the content on the bronze tablets, and I think I can also understand the stone tablets.

Gong Wu's eyelids twitched inexplicably, which already showed his thoughts: Why do you think you know how to order everything?

A trace of thought appeared on the old sallow face that had been blown by wind and frost. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Okay! Then take your kid down and have a look."

He was actually very curious about what Ji Xun could see.

After saying that, Gong Wu raised it with one hand, and the two of them fell down.

The moment he jumped in, Ji Xun felt like he had jumped into the lava of a volcano crater.

The mental pollution around him turned into a wave of demons with teeth and claws, and his eyes instantly became trance-like.

Fortunately, I have Gong Wu protecting me.

With a display of divine power, an invisible field was formed, which isolated most of the pollution.

Ji Xun finally got out of that nightmare feeling and his vision became clearer.

The two of them descended all the way and soon came to a ledge.

Here stands a black stone tablet more than three meters high.Gong Wu urged: "Hold on tight, kid, I won't be able to hold on for long."

"Oh."

As soon as the clown's silhouette appeared behind Ji Xun, his eyes immediately fell on the stone tablet.

After all, high-level demonic language is the language of gods, and humans can only understand a part of it that they can understand.

Ji Xun watched with concentration. The golden characters on the stone tablet were like tadpoles, running around.

The information obtained was very fragmentary and obscure.

This was not the first time Ji Xun had seen high-level devil language, and he was already familiar with the feeling of a massive amount of information pouring into his brain and burning it up.He also tried hard to write down some of the few words he saw: "Xinhuo City", "Bury 600 million people", "Seal.", "Cut off pollution", "Source of disaster".
It seemed like only a few breaths had passed before he felt Gong Wu twisting the back of his neck and jumping out.

With a lightening of his body, Ji Xun instantly woke up from his sleepwalking state and turned to look at the old man in confusion: "???"

I've only been watching for a while, how did you get me out?

Gong Wu said with a serious face: "You almost got lost just now."

Hearing this, Ji Xun immediately became serious.

Only then did he realize that something dangerous had happened that he was not aware of.

The old man was not surprised and said calmly: "High-level devil language contains too much super-cognitive information. If you don't understand it, it's actually your own cognitive barrier that is protecting you. You kid is too focused on learning, but in this case It's a hidden danger. If I hadn't pulled you just now, you would have gone crazy."

"Thank you senior."

Ji Xun understood what happened.

This stone tablet is indeed not something he can see now.

But at the same time, I was thinking about the information I just saw in my mind and spoke it out.

It's all fragmented information, which sounds useless.

Gong Wu also thought it was normal and said: "It's pretty good for your rank to be able to see these contents."

"Ah."

Ji Xun was also slightly disappointed.

I originally thought I could get some chance from the stone tablet, but there was only a little bit of fragmentary information.

Mentioning this, Gong Wu thought of something, and followed the topic and said: "If you want to understand more advanced devil language, you need to improve your brain and mental endurance. Your mental power is very special, and your potential is very high. . But the three times you have advanced so far have all been in the melee system, so it is normal that your performance in this area is not particularly ideal. In the future, you can consider adding careers related to [wisdom] when you advance. Your devil mark is very special and can withstand it. A career path that no one else can afford”

To others, this idea of ​​switching from "melee type" to "spiritual type" is simply courting death.

But [JOKER] is different.

After careful observation in the past two months, Gong Wu has understood that this sequence is not about being "specialized and precise", but about being "universal in everything".

On the contrary, taking the martial arts path alone will limit the upper limit of potential.

"Ah."

Ji Xun nodded seriously.

These seniors who are at the top can see something more accurately than he can.

This career direction can indeed be planned.

Speaking of this, Gong Wu didn't know what picture came to mind, and said with a smile: "But having said that, Merlin's ability is related to cognition. If you have time, you can try his ability. It can improve the brain. But experience It just doesn’t feel good.”

"Ah."

As soon as Ji Xun saw the old man's expression, he knew something was up.

But since he said that, he also took note of it seriously.

At this time, something suddenly popped up in Ji Xun's mind, and he said: "Oh, senior, I just saw a spell on the stone tablet. It probably looks like this."

That symbol is very strange. Although I have never forgotten it, I always feel like it is "sliding away".

As he spoke, he was really afraid that he would forget, so he quickly condensed his energy into an irregular symbol in the shape of a snowflake between his fingers.

Not flat, but a complex three-dimensional symbol.

After condensing it, he asked again: "Senior, do you know what this 'snowflake symbol' means?"

"!!!"

When Gong Wu saw this symbol, his pupils shrank like pinpricks.

He has actually seen it!
This is not a snowflake.

But "taboo"!
"."

As soon as Ji Xun saw his expression, he knew that things might not be simple.

I didn’t even think about asking any more questions.

Unexpectedly, Gong Wu said with a serious expression that he had never seen before: "This symbol represents 'plague'."

Ji Xun didn't know what this meant, that such a master at the pinnacle of martial arts could be so serious: "Plague?"

Gong Wu's eyes were as hazy as fog, and he said: "I don't know what it refers to. But I know that it can make that guy Guni regard it as a 'taboo' and even dare not mention it. The content that this symbol refers to must be "Extremely dangerous"

Ji Xun listened with the same serious expression.

In this world, curiosity can really kill people.

The world is not that beautiful. There are many "taboo" topics, and even mentioning them can be fatal.

For example, Ancient God, such as Old Man Xu.

Although Ji Xun didn't know that "Guni", when he heard what the old man said, he knew that the situation was serious and decided not to ask any more questions.

But when this topic came up, Gong Wu seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to talk: "This is what Guni told me after seeing the stone tablet a few years ago."

As he spoke, he sighed inexplicably: "That guy Gurney said that the reason why this stone tablet is recorded in high-level demonic language is that the content on the stone tablet does not want to be seen by people who are not high enough. Otherwise, those predecessors deliberately buried it The 'historical truth' could lead to big trouble."

Ji Xun thought about it.

Gong Wu continued: "After seeing the stone tablet, he told me that he was going to Bureau X to confirm some conjectures. If he can't come back, let me take care of the person who will take his place in the "Light Chaser" mask.Also, if you meet someone who can see this symbol, you can also say a few words he left behind."

When Ji Xun heard this topic, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

That "Guni" is indeed the leader of the Thirteen Knights, but he is the previous "Light Chaser"!
And he was not wrong.

The "Light Chaser" he saw belonged to this generation, and it was probably Jia Yu!
It's like a button on a piece of clothing that's buttoned in the wrong place.

Change it over and it will be right all of a sudden.

Moreover, what the old man said completes the most critical link in the story chain: that is why Jia Yu lurks around Xie Guozhong!

Ji Xun saw Jia Yu for the first time. The mushroom head was Xie Guozhong's assistant.

Now that we know that he is a member of the Thirteen Knights and is ridiculously powerful, the identity of "assistant" is very intriguing!
Ji Xunxiang didn't understand it before.

When I listen to it now, my thoughts automatically connect together.

It is very possible that the previous "Light Chaser" went to Bureau X to investigate something and had an accident.

Then Jia Yu, as the successor, will continue to choose to infiltrate undercover.

"hiss"

Ji Xun completed the puzzle in his mind and immediately realized that the matter was more serious than expected.

The "Light Chaser" who is the leader of the Thirteen Knights is already at the pinnacle of card masters, and yet something unexpected happened?
So what exactly was he going to Bureau X to investigate?
What kind of terrifying existence is there in Bureau X?

Thinking again about the ruins of Xia Ranch, Ji Xun himself was hunted down by members of the X Bureau Inquisition.

At that time, those people came here based on the "fate of Nanjing".

This behavior is very suspicious.

Bureau X is a neutral asylum. How could it come to kill a Nan Jing for no reason?
Moreover, the last time he saw Xie Guozhong, he mentioned that he had a vague feeling that something had happened within Bureau X.

He voluntarily was imprisoned and went to the Dragon City headquarters because he actually wanted to secretly investigate the truth of the matter.

The more Ji Xun thought about it, the more confusing it became.

While a story chain was completed, new questions about beheading emerged one after another.

Now it seems that the source of all these doubts points to the content on the stone tablet?
Ji Xun turned his eyes and asked, "Is that senior Guni powerful?"

There was also a touch of melancholy in Gong Wu's tone: "We can't simply say that we can't beat him. His field of "I am the world" is very evil.When you fight him, it feels like you are fighting against the whole world.Unless the strength is much, much higher than him, I can't think of anyone of the same level who can really kill him. "

Opponents are hard to find.

We fought against each other, became enemies, and later became friends.

Ji Xun heard this comment and did not continue to ask any more questions.

Through this exchange, both he and Gong Wu had actually seen that this stone tablet involved too much.

The two of them stopped talking about those "taboo topics".

After a moment of silence, the solemnity on Gong Wu's face instantly dissipated, as if he had made some decision: "Forget it. Anyway, it's almost time to go into seclusion. It's time to go out and take a look."

For a martial artist like him, plotting and other things were never something he had to consider.

The old man said more than once that only those who are not strong enough can think about those fancy strategies.

If you can solve the problem by hand, try not to force it.

As he said that, he looked at Ji Xun, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you always complain about not learning martial arts? Do you want to learn something powerful?"

Now that I plan to go out, I can't teach as leisurely as I do now.

There are some things that should be taught about pressing the bottom of the box, so teach them all.

Looking at this expression, Ji Xun knew that this bad old man had no good intentions, but he was also looking forward to it and loudly said: "Learn!"

These two months have been spent practicing the basics of qigong. I have mastered the tricks, and it will take time to accumulate them later.

Just as he was talking about how to use the old man's unique martial arts skills, he took the initiative to suggest it without thinking.

Gong Wu chuckled and said in a deep voice: "I have learned a lot in my life. I am proficient in 72 martial arts routines, [-] ancient martial arts skills, and countless incomplete moves. After spending decades in seclusion, I reduced the complex to simplicity and created a new one. Menquan method. Let’s give it a name. [Baquan].”

They have become very familiar with each other after two months of getting along. As soon as Ji Xun heard this coquettish opening, he knew that this old man was going to get serious.

And as soon as I heard this name, I was so domineering, and I was instantly full of expectations.

Gong Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "Later I went into seclusion here, realized the power of the gods, and realized the true meaning of martial arts. It is said to be boxing, but in fact it is 'intention' and 'qi'. This [Ba Fist] can be said to be what I have learned all my life. Essence.”

He looked at Ji Xun, paused for a moment, and then said: "It can be said that if you learn it, you can use it as a basis to activate all fighting skills."

As soon as he said these words, even if he didn't release his divine power, his whole body still exuded an invisible aura.

This is the domineering spirit of a Qigong master who stands at the pinnacle of the card master's combat power.

He uses force to look down on the world!
How heroic and arrogant!

Just looking at the figure on the top of the mountain, Ji Xun felt his heart and blood surge inexplicably.

And when he heard this description, a term from his previous life suddenly popped into his mind: Xiao Wuxiang Kung!

Although the old man likes to brag.

But he is also really awesome!

After waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Ji Xun did not hide his deep expectations and said with cupped hands: "Senior, please give me some advice."

"Haha. That's fine."

Gong Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Since you want to learn, then study hard. Your current level of understanding [Ba Fist] is still far from adequate. Learn as much as you can understand. If you don't understand, just remember and let time pass. Comprehension.”

As he spoke, what he saw in front of him turned into a series of phantoms.

Ji Xun just prepared his defense, but in the blink of an eye he was filled with fists like a rainstorm.

He didn't feel the fist touch his body, but the energy around him was already exploding.

In an instant, his whole body flew up like a balloon.

Only ripples of gas explosions were seen in the air.

Before I had time to understand what was going on, I heard the lingering sound of the essence of boxing: "All living things have 'qi'. I have been trying to compress the power of the curse and condense the Gangqi all my life. Qi is neither invisible nor intangible. Like wind, like lightning, like destruction without form, it also has form, like a blade, like a feather, like a mountain. This fist of mine can collapse mountains, crack the ground, and destroy cities. It can level it, but my heart is not equal!"

this day.

Ji Xun kept flying in the sky and didn't land for a long time.
