Cataclysm King

Chapter 528 The Secret Treasure House of the Forty Thieves

Before this, Ji Xun only speculated that these "Forty Thieves" were related to the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

Now looking at these guys' reactions, he confirmed it.

that's enough.

The pitch-black ghost knife on the neck slashed on the bronze skin, creating some flames.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the masked swordsman beside him who had a look of astonishment on his face.

I have to admit, after experiencing it, I found that these guys are really good at killing people.

Cruel and decisive enough.

This [Ghost Sword·Lacquer Night Soul Without Blade] has the effect of shocking the soul. Once it gets close to the target, the target's soul will be shocked by the wronged souls on the sword, and will instantly lose control of the body. The shield and the inner energy will be out of control, which is enough to separate a person's head from his body.

No wonder these “Forty Thieves” have been rampant for so many years without being wiped out. They do have some strength.

Just this second-in-command, with the ghost sword in his hand, is not something that an ordinary seventh-level person can deal with.

Unfortunately, Ji Xun is not an ordinary seventh-level person.

His soul strength is far beyond that of ordinary people of the same level. Shenwei has a great immunity to negative mental states. In addition, his physical attributes have increased dramatically in the Moon Well, and he has also inherited the secret method of "My Heart is the Universe" from Emperor Lanlingster.

This knife is a little lacking in meaning.

The proficiency of the Supreme Tyrant Body is no longer what it used to be, and the sharp and tough blade only leaves some shallow marks on the skin.

The injuries on his shoulder armor and chest that had been pierced by a Demon-Destroying Crossbow arrow during a previous performance also healed in the blink of an eye.

Since you have taken action, you will not give the enemy a second chance.

At the moment when the swordsman was stunned, Ji Xun grabbed him with one hand.

There was only a "click" sound of metal touching, and the right hand wearing the black magic glove, wrapped in extremely condensed energy, grabbed the blade.

This was the first time someone dared to grab his ghost sword with bare hands. The swordsman was also very surprised: What kind of monster is this? !
But no matter how surprised he was, this guy's agility was extremely high, so he decisively dropped the knife and ran away.

As long as he keeps going, he still has a chance.

However, as soon as he let go, he found that a strange energy that distorted the air was transmitted from the knife to his whole body. Then his body sank suddenly, and his expression changed from shock to great fear of the coming death!

Ji Xun looked at this guy who tried to escape after a sneak attack, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He has now mastered the many secret magic techniques he knows, and he can use "Drawing the Fall of the Gods" to pull an agile swordsman close, leaving him no chance to escape.

At the moment when the swordsman's body stiffened, a clown demon shadow appeared behind Ji Xun. He smiled evilly and punched out with his fist.

When the assassin saw this, although his body was unable to move, strangely, he had a double shadow. Upon closer inspection, it was like a snake shedding its skin, and the clothes on his body had become a double.

Seeing this, Ji Xun sneered in his heart: "Oh, there are so many ways to save your life. It's a pity that [Ghost Substitute] is such a rare card."

This is somewhat similar to his shadow stand, which can be considered a life-saving skill for the assassin type, and can force the main body to leave its original position under extreme conditions.

Originally, this was enough for him to avoid targeted killing attacks.

Unfortunately, this punch is a range attack.

Ji Xun threw a punch, and his fist created a spider-web-like crack in the nearby void.

Not only the substitute, but also the assassin's real body were all covered by the spider web.

"Oh!"

The force of the punch was like a sudden eruption of a volcano, with the force centered in the fist, exploding radioactively.

The assassin in mid-air's chest suddenly caved in for no apparent reason, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

This punch penetrated his internal organs directly, leaving cracks all over his hidden weapons.

The necromancer who was the leader not far away was shocked when he saw this. He also raised his hand and grabbed. The death energy in the void instantly formed a giant undead hand that was about to snatch the person away.

Ji Xun looked at him with raised eyebrows, still holding the knife in his right hand, and grabbed with his left claw. The swordsman who had just been flying backwards suddenly arched and was pulled back in the opposite direction at a high speed.

With a "snap", like a magnet, Ji Xun's hand tightly grasped the assassin's neck.

Without waiting for the enemy to struggle, he turned around, looked at the necromancer evilly and provocatively, and then exerted force provocatively.

With a crisp sound of "crack", the swordsman's neck shattered in his hands.

Ji Xun's painting style also changed suddenly.

He changed from the fat sheep who was begging for mercy timidly to the murderous JOKER.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The sound of the bone breaking was so clear that everyone could hear it clearly.

The sneak attack by the second in command of the “Forty Thieves” caught everyone off guard.

But he died very quickly.

No one would have thought that the second-in-command of the top swordsmen would be killed in a single encounter.

It was so fast that it seemed unreal to the core thieves.

They were clearly chasing these three fat sheep and running away in a panic.
how
How come the fat sheep turned into a tiger in the blink of an eye?
When the necromancer saw this, he was shocked and frightened at the same time.

Fear comes from the unknown.

The method used by the "fat sheep" in front of him to kill people just now was completely beyond his understanding.

This necromancer is the chief thief and also the Count of Mist Mountain. How much knowledge does he have?

If I saw it correctly, in that moment of fighting just now, I saw several magical secrets from a card master?
"Supreme Dominant Body", "Attracting the Fall of Gods", "Immortality Curse", "Gluttony". If they are not affected by the ghost sword, there must be a top-level secret method that also has spiritual aspects.

How can a card master master so many mysterious magic techniques at the same time?

The necromancer was frightened to death.

Even the eighth-level card masters he had met before had never given him such a weird feeling.

Moreover, when he saw the phantom of the clown demon, the terrifying divine power actually suppressed his soul fire to the point that it was shaking. Who is this guy?
The "subordinates of Marquis Herman" are all fake.

These people are coming for me!

And the shock to the gangsters wasn’t over yet!
Since he had decided to kill quickly, Qin Rushi certainly would not hide anything.

At the moment Ji Xun took action, she was suddenly covered in golden light, surrounded by immortal aura, and the realm of a god descending to earth was revealed. At the same time, she transformed into the form of a Valkyrie.

Golden light burst out, dispersing a large amount of undead fog in an instant.

As soon as the bandits saw the murderous aura, they immediately realized that this was another ridiculously powerful top-level card master.

The minions were still confused and had no idea what they had offended, but the necromancer, as the leader, understood the situation and realized that the problem was serious. A cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted immediately: "Kill them!"

After all, they were thieves who lived on the edge of a knife, and their ferocity overcame their fear. At a command, twenty or thirty people with ferocious faces surrounded them.

Seeing this, Ji Xun grinned: "Hehe."

In a blink of an eye, dozens of cold rays shot out from his hands. Ji Xun was not afraid of the enemy that was dozens of times larger than himself, and disappeared on the spot.

These guys are well-equipped and ruthless. When it comes to killing people, they are more troublesome than the well-equipped regular knight legion.

He likes these vicious guys.

There is a different kind of pleasure in killing.

Qin Rushi was not idle either. She saw that the necromancer wanted to escape, so she stepped on the air and slashed at the guy with a big sword in her hand.

"Shh!"

Qin Rushi cut the cloaked wizard into two pieces with one sword.

However, the guy did not die. Instead, he turned into two balls of black mist and condensed again not far away.

The necromancer felt Qin Rushi's terrifying strength and suddenly changed his attitude. He said quickly: "Sir, stop! Your methods are not weak, but you should know that in a short time..."

A true master can actually tell the strength of his opponent as soon as they fight.

Originally he wanted to say that he was confident that he would not be killed in a short period of time. If the fight really continued, it would attract other people in the city and both sides would suffer losses.

Neither side can kill the other quickly, so there is room for negotiation.

However, before he could finish his words, Qin Rushi slashed at him with his sword again.
But the result was the same, the necromancer stood up intact.

Seeing this, Qin Rushi said to himself: "Immortal body?"

It was just a test just now, but now the situation has been confirmed.

The top-level necromancers have almost gotten rid of all the weaknesses of their physical bodies. In the field of "Realm of Soul Binding Corpse Prison", as long as there is enough death energy, they can recover infinitely.

What's more, there is the blessing of the undead treasure [Aztec Crystal Skull].

Even if an eighth-level card master came, the Earl of Wushan felt that he could remain invincible.

This is also the reason why he feels there is still room for negotiation.

If this matter drags on, neither side will gain any benefit.

"Damn it! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Seeing his body being cut off for the second time, the Necromancer became furious.

"Disaster of the Undead!"

He raised his hand and dozens of cards shot out instantly, and dozens of undead monsters immediately appeared around him.

The seventh-level [Undead Warhorse], the seventh-level [Headless Horseman], the seventh-level [Horror Nun], the sixth-level [Fallen Evil Ghost], [Corpse Monster], and [Earth Bone Dragon].
There are three lord-level undead monsters, and the others are also very difficult to manage monsters.

The combat power of the Necromancer is not just his own body, but also his summoned creatures!
They can summon large numbers of undead creatures to fight for them, and as long as they are well prepared, they can even have an endless supply of monsters.

After so many years of accumulation, the thief leader has already collected enough undead summons.

This is an army of undead that is powerful enough to destroy a medium-sized city!

Originally, he summoned these undead monsters to let the three people in front of him know his confidence.

Now he alone can defeat enemies dozens of times his number!
He was not afraid of fighting, he just felt there was no need for both sides to suffer losses.

If possible, he would even be willing to spend some money to solve the problem.

However, what the thief leader never expected was that the Valkyrie in front of him did not follow the routine at all.

Qin Rushi looked at the necromancer in front of him who summoned a bunch of spiritual creatures and raised his eyelids slightly, although he also felt that some of the lord-level monsters were indeed a bit tricky.

But not unexpected.

After all, when I talked to Ji Xun before, I guessed that the leader of the "Forty Thieves" was a necromancer. Qin Rushi didn't give the enemy a chance to talk too much. His spell power suddenly surged, and he chanted softly: "Immortal Spells. Ten Thousand Immortals Descend!"

In an instant, the shadows of the demon god Horagos and the ancestral immortal Bai Qiu appeared behind her.

Qin Rushi's current strength does not mean he is afraid of a group of undead monsters, but if he wants to kill them quickly, he has to do his best.

In a blink of an eye, the [Lamp of Ten Thousand Immortals] in his hand flickered with spiritual light, and a large amount of fairy mist rose up. In a blink of an eye, all kinds of strange and bizarre immortals showed up.

What was originally a one-on-one battle suddenly turned into a group against a group.

However, seeing this scene, the necromancer and the thieves' eyes widened.

The immortals had recovered most of their spiritual power in the Moon Spring and were nourished in the passage to the underworld. They were now terribly powerful.

With thousands of immortals by his side, Qin Rushi's momentum suddenly rose to a level that made the bandits feel terrified even when they looked up at him.

"Oh no! This is the immortal spirit secret technique of the God-stealing Bai family!"

The Necromancer immediately realized that something was wrong.

He revealed his trump card, but before he could show off his strength for long, his opponent displayed such an outrageous magic!
In an instant, the arrogance in the Necromancer's heart disappeared, leaving only endless regret.

Damn it, how could I mess with such a group of guys?
Damn it, why didn’t I observe more carefully before acting blindly?

What this guy doesn’t know is that it’s not that he’s not careful enough.

But the "fat sheep" he thought of had already been calculated before entering the black market.

It's not unfair that it has ended up like this.

Moreover, if this guy knew that he was facing a combat configuration with a higher level than that of the Holy Son of Heavenly Dragon, Cheresa, he might even be thankful that his death was not so painful.

Qin Rushi was in full swing, chanting the incantation: "Immortal Law. Statue of the Eight Directions God of the Void!"

In the vast realm of the dead, various immortal statues as high as a hundred meters, including snakes, insects, crows, foxes, bears, tigers, and cranes, guard the eight directions and imprison this area.

Now even if the Necromancer wants to run away, he can’t!
Without waiting for the necromancer to do anything, Qin Rushi cast the spell again.

"Immortal Technique: Fire of the Ghost Tomb of Tiandu!"

"Immortal Technique: Great Flame Dog Contract Soul Burial!"

In the sky, ghost fire that specifically burns undead creatures fell like raindrops.

Those spiritual creatures that were originally so aggressive were burned and screamed in an instant.

The spell was completed instantly, and Qin Rushi once again swung the sword wrapped in immortal spirit and rushed forward.

The necromancer's face changed drastically, and he knew that he had no choice but to fight to the death.

The crystal skull in his hand glowed darkly, and countless red wronged souls jumped out and bit Qin Rushi.
The battle instantly became intense.

Ji Xun planned to get rid of those minions first.

But in fact, something unexpected happened.

He estimated the strength of this group of bandits, but he could not calculate the external forces.

The fact is, these "Forty Thieves" were too well-equipped, and they obviously had a batch of good stuff from the Royal Academy's treasury.

During the battle, even Ji Xun suffered some minor losses.

Fortunately, these guys are not of high rank, and they can't use much of the power of the treasures in their hands, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

It seems like these guys should be the first group that got the upper hand when the Royal Academy was destroyed.

After all, they are a professional gang, and they know better than ordinary people where the good things are.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun became even more ruthless.

Just like thieves see them as fat sheep, he sees these thieves as fat sheep as well.

You have so many good things on you, there must be more in the warehouse!
While Ji Xun was killing people indiscriminately on this side, Qin Rushi was also fighting a fierce battle with the necromancer on the other side.

But because of the equipment, this battle is a bit more intense than expected, and it will take a bit longer to end.

Ji Xun originally didn't want to ask Peacock for help. After all, the intrigues of human beings were not suitable for her as a lord.

However, as the fight went on, white feathers like sharp arrows suddenly appeared in the sky.

The bandits' last hope of delaying until reinforcements arrived was completely extinguished.

Peacock still took action.

These days, Ji Xun gave her another piece of [Titan Godhead Fragment], so that her bloodline power and strength increased dramatically.

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

These days, Peacock followed Ji Xun around, eating and taking things, and she felt a little guilty for not helping.

Her rank is already overwhelming, and when it comes to killing speed, the Divine Light of Annihilation that can break all laws is more efficient than any other means.

When the divine light of annihilation appeared, all defensive measures were instantly penetrated.

It's not just those who Ji Xun hasn't killed yet, but also those thieves who are surviving with the help of protective treasures, or those undead monsters.
It was like harvesting wheat, falling down in large areas.

These twenty or thirty core members of the "Forty Thieves" were killed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xunteng freed his hand, glanced at Peacock, and smiled approvingly.

Peacock rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Ji Xun didn't take it seriously and enthusiastically went with Qin Rushi to surround the bandit leader.

With two strong forces joining forces, there is no suspense in the battle.

Although the necromancer's methods were very powerful, he was unable to cause much trouble when the two of them joined forces. After a short while, the soul fire was beaten to pieces.

There was not a single body on the empty street.

It must be said that these "Forty Thieves" were very professional in their crimes and thought of almost every means to commit crimes secretly.

Not only is there a barrier set up around him to prevent the spread of energy and sound, but the territory of the bandit leader "Count Misty Mountain" Rostov is also a barrier-like territory.

They originally wanted to quietly kill a few fat sheep in the city.

I didn't intend to give Ji Xun and the other two an advantage, so killing these guys didn't cause much commotion.

And there were almost no useful traces left on the battlefield.

There was no time to count the corpses and spoils, as they were all put into the oil painting. Now Ji Xun had more important things to do.

He had previously revealed the identity of the leader of the "Forty Thieves" just to find out where their base was.

A gang of thieves that has been active for decades must have a lot of treasures.

Ji Xun had no intention of staying and said, "Let's go, Aunt Qin, let's go to East City!"

Qin Rushi nodded, and a hint of anticipation appeared on the corner of her mouth.

It has been a long time since I felt this kind of fun when I was robbed and then killed the enemy.

Just after Ji Xun and his companions left, some patrol officers came into the dark alley.

But they didn't find anything unusual and didn't care.

Half an hour later, 115 Tulip Avenue, East City.

At the gate of a luxurious manor, three people in cloaks got off the carriage.

As soon as they reached the door, the leader lifted his cloak, revealing a middle-aged face with a goatee.

It was Ji Xun who disguised himself as "Count Rostov of Fog Mountain" with a clown mask.

Although this impoverished earl had no territory, he was truly wealthy. His manor was quite large, and it also had special stables and servants' quarters.

The guard saw Ji Xun's expression, opened the door quickly, and said respectfully, "Mr. Earl!"

Ji Xun didn't pay much attention and walked straight in.

Qin Rushi and Kong Que, who were covered in cloaks behind them, also followed him in.

After walking a few steps, the housekeeper of the mansion came hurriedly to meet him.

Although he was somewhat surprised as to why the Earl came back from outside the manor, he did not dare to ask more questions.

After entering the manor, Ji Xun lifted his cloak, but did not give the servants any chance to see through him. He said directly to the housekeeper: "Now you ask all the people in the mansion to go to the dormitory and wait. I will arrange something later."

"Yes, Lord Count."

Although the butler was puzzled as to what was going on so late at night, he did not dare to question it and turned around to greet the other servants in the manor.

Ji Xun and the other two walked straight into the luxurious mansion.

The purpose of sending the servants away was, of course, to find the secret treasure house of the "Forty Thieves".

"Earl of Misty Mountain" is the best disguise identity. Hiding the treasure in the manor will not arouse any search or suspicion.

After killing that guy, Qin Rushi also tried to ask the immortals to search his soul and got some fragmentary information.

But soul searching for top-level card masters is very troublesome and takes a long time, especially for card masters with powerful souls like the Necromancer.

So in this short period of time, they only knew that the treasure was in the manor.

The rest is not a problem.

If it is a treasure house, it must be in the hidden space.

Given the cautious nature of the "Forty Thieves", it would certainly be difficult to find them.

Now that the gang of thieves is almost wiped out, they may have attracted the attention of certain forces, and they cannot stay in the mansion for long.

But Ji Xun has another plug-in.

As soon as he entered the room, Ji Xun patted the sleeping girl in his pocket and asked, "Ivan, help me see where the hidden space is."

She can sense any spatial anomaly.

Sure enough, Ivan crawled out of the pocket with sleepy eyes, and was put on duty before he could figure out what was going on.

After eating a few pieces of cakes, the girl pointed Ji Xun and the other two to the ground.

Going down from the hidden passage behind the fireplace in the Earl's study, you will see a secret door.

Ji Xun knew that behind this secret door was the treasure house of the forty thieves!
