Cataclysm King

Chapter 554: The Ninth Order is coming! Moon God is panicking.
Ji Xun's body was emitting the dark golden sheen of "Supreme Dominant Body", and the aura that was like black flames covered his entire body, forming a thick protective field.

After seeing this scene, the spectators realized that he was really prepared to fight hard.

Elsa and Qiaolin, two elders from the Herlandes family, saw this scene, feeling both expectant and nervous.

This was the plan they had discussed before.

That [Elemental Rune Stone] was also the last trump card that Qiao Lin gave to Rick personally.

This was the only way they could think of that would surely force an eighth-level card master to use methods beyond the sixth level.

Although this plan was a bit unfair, it took advantage of the Herlands family's inherited treasure.

But since it concerns the future of the family, they have to do it.

The only person in the audience who was worried about Ji Xun was probably his friend Rainey.

He looked at Ji Xun who was going to fight back, and his expression could not hide his worry.

He couldn't quite understand, is it necessary for an eighth-level person to fight desperately with a sixth-level person?

Are you really willing to risk your life for this little victory?

But as I thought about it, it suddenly seemed reasonable.

When the brain encounters confusion in cognition, it usually automatically uses past experience to find corresponding explanations.

All the people present knew about Ji Xun from the wanted poster issued by the Bounty Union.

The wanted poster described one of his important characteristics: suspected mental disorder.

This was the crazy impression that Ji Xun had left on the world when he attacked and killed the young governor of the Cao family in Wuzui City.

Now it seems that this is the only explanation?

Not just Rainey, everyone thought the same.

Maybe it's just a dispute between geniuses?

On the other side, Rick, who was holding the treasure in the battlefield, looked at Ji Xun who was ready to fight back, and a cold look appeared on his face.

There was no more contempt in the young man's heart, only the determination to win, with the honor and lives of their Forbidden Spell Master family at stake!
Only at this moment did he truly understand why this guy had said such arrogant words when he was communicating with Ji Xun before.

"Have you ever thought that what you think is a talent is just mediocre in the eyes of some people?"

At that time, Rick thought that this guy was making sarcastic remarks with ulterior motives.

Now I understand that it is not.

But that guy really has the qualifications to say this.

The spells he had just reproduced had completely shattered the pride of this genius forbidden spellcaster of the Herlands family.

Only then did Rick clearly understand that his talent in thunder, which he was so proud of, was only enough to qualify him to compete with him at this moment.

"Okay! Since you won't dodge, then I'll try my last move!"

Rick roared in his heart, and the cursed power continued to pour into the thunder ball in his hand.

The reason why this [Thunderous Order Storm] was included in the forbidden spell sequence is not only because of its great power and harsh conditions for casting, but more importantly, the backlash of the spell's own laws also puts a great burden on the card master's body.

This kind of spell that is beyond one's own level is like plunging a body that can only adapt to warm water into boiling water.

For Rick, who is still at level six at this moment, it is like falling into a pool of magma, with his body teetering on the edge of collapse.

Thunder gathered, and the air around seemed to be burning.

Rick showed no sign of backing down.

The cursed energy is still gathering madly.

This scene made the senior members of the Herlands family who were watching the battle on the sidelines extremely worried.

If you are not careful, the thunder will not only fail to hurt the enemy, but will destroy Rick himself.

Just this short breath or two seemed to have lasted a very long time to everyone.

The thunder gathered into a storm, forming eight terrifying lightning snake storms around Rick's body that seemed to despise thunder.

Even Ji Xun looked somewhat helpless when he saw this, and he said to himself, "This guy is really risking his life."

He didn't see the determination of the young man in front of him to kill, and the spell he released had already put him on the brink of death.

Considering the terrifying energy released by this forbidden spell, any ordinary seventh-level cultivator would have to take shelter temporarily.

However, Ji Xun did find some flaws.

If he is really only at level six, there is still a possibility that both sides will suffer losses.

But if he did that, even if the talented young man from the Herlands family didn't die, his future would be ruined.

Ji Xun didn't intend to do this.

The moment he gathered his internal energy, the purple light of thunder had already obscured his figure in the field.

No one saw him take out a colorful joker card and chanted a spell: "Poker game. Winning white dove."

The rules changed quietly, and this spell was released on oneself.

The rule of change is [healing].

This allows you to always maintain a draw within certain duel rules.

The sixth-level Rick had no way of seeing through this twist in the rules, as he himself was already immortal.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

"."

The thunder was like a rainstorm washing the ground.

Ji Xun had already been submerged in the sea of ​​thunder.

He clearly felt that the countless lightning snakes were like sharp knives, melting away the protective energy on his body bit by bit.

It only lasted for a moment before thousands of lightning snakes broke through the energy and hit his dark gold body covered with dragon scales.

Accompanied by a destructive sound like a torrent washing over solid rock, Ji Xun also fell into a kind of pain like being tortured to death.

If someone could see his expression in the lightning, they would find that although it looked ferocious, his radiant spirit could not be concealed in the divine light.

The spectators outside the duel arena also held their breath at this moment, not daring to breathe.

It seems that any slight disturbance would put the two opposing parties in danger.

Everyone can see that after this encounter, the winner will probably be decided.

Everyone in the Herlands family was also extremely nervous.

It would be good if Rick won, because he could take the machinery away and his family would not be punished by the King.
But if we lose, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, the eyes of several senior members of the Herlands family were filled with solemnity.

What no one noticed was that the eyes of the "Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin were flashing with a strange light.

Especially when he saw that the figure in the lightning had not fallen, while his own grandson and nephew were about to be attacked by the forbidden spell,
The evil thought in Qiao Lin's mind could no longer be suppressed: how about taking advantage of the opponent's serious injury and launching a sneak attack?
As an eighth-rank card master, he certainly knew better than anyone that this was the best opportunity for a sneak attack.

If it were a head-on battle, "Ji Xun" would never have put himself in such danger.

And now the duel of suppressed realms is like a knight taking off his heavy armor. Both sides are still fighting hard, and the slightest external force is enough to severely injure the other side.

Although the honor of being a knight made Qiao Lin ashamed of doing so.

But for the sake of the family, I can give up everything.

The upper limit of the duel barrier is only level seven, so he can force his way in at this moment.

If you hesitate any longer, you will have no chance!
If we lose, everything in the family will be destroyed!
Even if the sneak attack fails to meet expectations, as long as it can inflict heavy damage on the opponent, all the members of the family behind it can work together to kill him.
Thinking of this, Qiao Lin's eyes turned cold and he was ready to take action.

However, I felt that someone was watching me.

When he turned his head, he saw his sister Elsa looking at him.

This elder sister who grew up with me and knows me so well, actually shook her head?

Qiao Lin knew that Elsa had guessed his thoughts and was trying to stop him from launching a sneak attack.

but
If I don't take action, the family will be finished!
If Rick couldn't defeat his opponent even after releasing this forbidden spell, then he had already lost the ability to continue fighting and had already lost!

However, just by looking at each other, the two old men understood each other's meaning.

Qiao Lin looked at his sister's determined eyes. Although he didn't understand why she didn't allow him to take action, the King's Four Knights hesitated and suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

He wondered, was his sister doing this because of that old friend?

Or the princess who is in exile?
Hey.

No matter what the reason is, I will accompany my sister and share the responsibility with the entire family.

What's more, the moment I hesitated, the opportunity was already lost.

Qiao Lin sighed and comforted himself: "I hope it's right."

Chieftain Elsa looked at her brother's dimming eyes and felt complicated.

She is willing to give everything for her family.

But at that moment, when she glanced at her old friend, her intuition made her make this decision, which she was not sure whether it was the right one.

She looked at the two people in the arena.

Although Ji Xun's flesh and blood were all burned to a crisp in the sea of ​​thunder, he still did not use the power beyond his rank;

On the other hand, the lightning illuminated Rick's face, which turned pale.

The burden of casting the forbidden spell was too great for him, and he was becoming more and more exhausted.
There is a high probability that both sides will suffer losses.

No one knows which of them will be able to hold on to the end.

In the current situation, it seems that all we can do is wait.

However, before the top leaders of the Herlands family could get too hung up on themselves, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse!

Just when everyone's eyes were fixed on the two protagonists in the duel, a ghostly "third person" broke into the barrier unhindered, silently stretched out a pitch-black hand, and slapped Ji Xun on the back.

The opportunity for a sneak attack is fleeting.

Before the "Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin could launch a sneak attack, the guy hiding in the dark finally couldn't help but take action.

It was only when the "third person" appeared behind him that Ji Xun sensed the murderous intent.

The person who came was very powerful, and his methods caught even him off guard.

The slap of the black hand shattered the last layer of protective qi, and destructive power poured into the body frantically.

Fortunately, Ji Xun had anticipated the opportunity and protected the vital points.

But at the same time, he was hit by a huge force on the back, and with a "bang", the whole person flew backwards.

A streak of blood shot out from the sky, and he crashed into the rocks, causing the earth to shake.

No one understood what was happening, they just watched a figure fly out.

At this time, Reni finally reacted and shouted, "Brother Jixun!"

As he spoke, dozens of cards flew out from his hands. The mechanical puppet army was already guarding him and entered combat status immediately.

Glancing at the ruins with dust rising from them, Reni stared at the group of people from the Herlands family in a rage!

How could he not see clearly that these guys actually chose to launch a sneak attack in such a despicable way!
As a member of one of the four great knight families, Reni despised such behavior from the bottom of his heart.

When clan leader Elsa saw the questioning look from her old friend, her expression instantly became complicated, but she couldn't explain it.

And she herself was also very confused. She had clearly tried to stop it, so why did someone else take action?

Everyone's eyes then turned to the attacker who appeared on the stage.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just an inconspicuous junior in the family, a girl named "Gillian". Elsa was not stupid, and she could sneak attack and severely injure the eighth-level warrior. The one on the ring was definitely not Gillian.

But someone else.

She had guessed a little bit.

It turned out that His Majesty the King did not completely trust their Herlands family, and the team had already arranged for surveillance.

Thinking of this, the remaining light in Elsa's eyes as the clan leader dimmed.

Although Reni knew that he was no match for the people in front of him, he still took out all his mechanical puppets, with a determined look to fight to the death.

He rushed towards the ruins where Ji Xun had fallen, and shouted anxiously, "Brother Ji Xun!"

When he rushed over, he saw Ji Xun lying in the ruins covered in blood.

The clothes were covered with marks of burns from lightning, but the skin had completely healed.

His injury came from the bloody wound on his chest, which was surrounded by a faint silver light.

At this moment, it is those silver threads that are preventing the healing green light from healing the wounds.

One more breath!

Lei Ni looked at Ji Xun's heaving chest, feeling anxious yet relieved.

Just as Reni turned around to scold the attacker, he saw Ji Xun suddenly flipping out a card with a small gray pattern on the back and a starry sky on the front.

Before Reni could understand what was happening, [Divine Art: Starry Sky Exile] had already been released.

Just at this moment, a ray of moonlight came.

The seemingly soft moonlight was like the sharpest blade in the world, easily cutting through the protective barrier formed by a dozen mechanical puppets.

As the moonlight passed by, those extremely strong alloy limbs split in two very smoothly, leaving a smooth cut.

Seeing his mechanical puppets wiped out in an instant, Rennie's eyes were filled with horror. Only then did he realize how terrifying the methods of the person who launched the sneak attack were.

Just when he was ready to be torn in two and die.
The magical reversal happened again.

Reni looked at the ray of moonlight that was almost a foot away, but it was as if a crack appeared in space, and the silver light was completely annihilated into the void.

"???"

Rennie was stunned.

After surviving the disaster, he suddenly realized that it was Ji Xun who did it!
But before he could think about it, as soon as he made this move, he seemed to hear a female voice behind him: "Eh"

Normally, if a sneak attack dealt a heavy blow and then a Moonlight Magic spell was used, even the strongest eighth-level enemy would be killed.

However, what the attacker did not expect was that the divine magic was actually banished?

The woman opposite did not attack again because she knew she had no chance.

"Brother Ji Xun!"

Lei Ni watched Ji Xun open his eyes and stand up, and called out in surprise.

Ji Xun nodded at him without further explanation.

He stood up, glanced at the wound that would never heal, and the curve of his mouth could no longer be suppressed: "Tsk tsk. I almost got killed."

It has been a long time since I last felt this kind of pleasure of walking on the line of death.

If I hadn't used the [Color JOKER] Curse Card to change the rules and hold on for a while, I would have really died.

But even so, the divine contamination of the wound forced him to use the [Dark Magic] gloves to suppress it.

At the same time, he also guessed the identity of the attacker.

The one who can severely injure himself is no ordinary top card master.

Ji Xun raised his eyes and glanced at the woman in the black dress opposite him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Long time no see. Should I call you Princess Betty or Her Majesty Queen Yue?"

The woman opposite didn't say anything, but the skin on her face twisted, and she changed from an ordinary woman to a gorgeous girl with a moonlight filter.

This was none other than the Chosen One of the Moon Goddess Arachne, whom she had met many times before, the original princess of the Black Dragon royal family.

The current Queen of Oran.

Compared to Ji Xun's indifference, the people from the Herlands family nearby had complicated and solemn expressions when they saw the queen appear here.

Most people didn't understand why the queen would appear here, but clan leader Elsa and several high-ranking officials could guess.

Now the entire Eastern Wilderness is almost controlled by the Silver Moon Sect, and its power has reached its peak.

Even within the royal court, most people are Silver Moon believers.

However, high-ranking officials such as the "Four Horsemen" who are closely tied to the royal power have not been corrupted, nor are they allowed to be corrupted.

They are also loyal guardians of Augustus' bloodline and royal power.
It also inherited some special methods of restraining religious pollution left over from the Talen Empire.

They are the last insurance against faith.

Previously, because of the desire to expand the power of the Holy See, the Silver Moon Sect had no conflicts with these "royalists".

But as time went on, the Silver Moon Cult took control of everything.

If the moon goddess Arachne wants to gain the power to rule arbitrarily, she has to go around the royalists.

Gaps and distrust emerge.

As the chosen one of the Moon God, Queen Betty certainly does not trust those who are not believers of the Moon God.

So he has been secretly obstructing.

The top leaders of the Herlands family are well aware of this.

But before, everyone was in the royal court, and even if there was a conflict between faith and royal power, neither side could do anything to the other.

In the previous "667 Research Institute Incident", the Forbidden Spell Family made a big mistake, which also aroused King Arthur's wrath.

This is the terrible situation we have today.

This time, Queen Betty was lurking in the team that came to Innocence City to carry out the mission, and she might not have any other intentions.

If it weren't for this sudden duel, the top leaders of the Herlands family wouldn't even know that there was such a big shot lurking in the team.

Thinking of this, Elsa, Qiao Lin and other senior executives all looked unhappy.

Betty ignored Ji Xun's familiar greeting. She looked at the Curse God Card floating in Ji Xun's palm, her expression indescribably gloomy.

Now that the overall situation in the Eastern Wilds has been settled, the power of the Moon Goddess Arachne is gradually recovering, and those long-forgotten memories are gradually emerging.

She recognized this card as a relic of Emperor Lanlingster.

She had sensed before that someone was stealing the dynasty's fortune, and she was very confused at the time.

Now that I see the person coming, everything becomes clear.

Since it is related to his restoration to the throne of God, the power of the Oran kingdom must be in his own hands.

So this batch of Titan mechanical equipment must not be lost!

Also, no matter who the exiled princess is or who the helper is, they must be eliminated to prevent future troubles!

She would never allow anyone to shake the dynasty's destiny that she had worked so hard to gather to reach the level of godhood!
Originally, the sneak attack was a last resort.

If it's okay to kill him, then exposing him is worth it.

If we don’t kill him now, we’ll be in big trouble.

Ji Xun looked at the other person's cold face, and his smile became brighter. He tried to get closer to her: "Then I should call you Miss Betty? I still remember our first few encounters. I didn't expect that when we met again, you would become the queen. Oh, that's such a pity."

If an outsider heard this tone, they would definitely think that the two people are very familiar with each other.

And there seems to be some unclear ambiguous relationship.

It wasn't just the Herlandes family that had gossipy doubts on their faces.

Rennie beside him also felt a little unconfident.

Could it be a debt of love?

When Rennie thought of Betty's ruthless killing just now, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, remembering the experience of being poisoned by his fiancée.

hiss.
Brother Ji Xun is not really going to get involved with Queen Oran?

The various images that filled Rennie's mind had already diluted the stiff atmosphere of the confrontation before him.

After all, no one could tell that Ji Xun, who was laughing all the time, was having a fierce confrontation with Queen Betty.

Ji Xun is stalling for time.

Betty also knew that he was stalling for time.

She had lost her best chance as she had failed to kill him in her sneak attack just now.

Although she knew that using the Curse Card was a huge burden, she also knew that her opponent was already seriously injured and that she might be able to kill him if she continued.

But Betty was hesitant.

Because this place is not far from the City of Innocence.

If too much divine power is really used, the ninth-rank marshal of the Iris Legion will definitely not sit idly by.

Ji Xun continued to talk nonsense: "Ms. Betty, there are too many people here, how about we go somewhere else and talk in private?"

"."

Betty's face darkened.

Feeling those gossipy eyes falling on her, the God-chosen Queen could not hide the murderous intent in her eyes.

This is not just a romantic affair, but a blasphemy against God by lower creatures.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Ji Xun discovered that the divine power in his body was suddenly activated by a mysterious force, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Betty's pupils shrank sharply, and she felt delighted. She was sure that the guy in front of her was more seriously injured than he looked!
However, just when he was about to take action, he saw the guy grinning at him with a mouth full of bloody white teeth.

He is laughing!
The divine power that Betty had just gathered was suppressed again.

"hey-hey."

Ji Xun looked at Betty and had already guessed what she was thinking.

He had already dragged on for long enough, so he stopped pretending and taunted, "Hey, what? You don't dare to do it?"

Of course he knew that this woman was not afraid of him, but of the Grand Marshal in Wuzui City.

Unfortunately, Ji Xun is here, while Chu Jiu and Nan Jing are in the City of Innocence.

This amount of time is enough for them to do a lot of things.

When Queen Betty saw Ji Xun's playful expression, she suddenly realized: Not good!
The solemn look between her brows indicated that she no longer had any intention of staying.

In an instant, her figure blurred, like the shadow of the moon in the water rippling, and was about to turn into moonlight and escape.

But at this moment, a sneer like a dragon's roar came from the void: "Want to leave? Humph! It's not that easy!"

Hearing this, Queen Betty's expression changed drastically.

Ji Xun felt the terrifying dragon's might, and the smile on his face became even brighter. He muttered, "You came just in time."

The sudden change made Reni and the people of the Herlandes family nearby stunned. They were incredulous: Are the people from the Iris Corps chasing us?
I never expected that the situation would develop in this direction.

It turns out that the man’s real purpose was here!

The leaders of several forbidden spell families realized that from the beginning, the duel didn't seem to be that important.
Marshal Andre of the Iris Legion had been holding back his anger for a long time.

After waiting for so long and setting up such a big plan, I just want to catch the big fish of the Oran Royal Court.

However, the fact is that the big fish was not caught, and even the important stronghold of Innocence City was destroyed by the insect plague, and the legion also suffered heavy losses.
Just when he was about to suffer a crushing defeat, a surprise unexpectedly came to him.

Now that Queen Oran had come in person, how could he let her escape so easily? !
The terrifying supernatural power of the dragon was chasing after the disintegrating moonlight.
