Cataclysm King

Chapter 213 Poker Game·Snow White

 “Who is this person?”

“There is actually a second legendary strongman among the Thirteen Kamen Riders? Heh, I’ve never heard of it.”

"This is not good. When the Thirteen Knights arrive, all four of them must complete the assassination of the characters. I'm afraid that Lady Catherine has a lot of background."

ˆ “.”

The melon-eaters looked at the fourth masked man who was suppressing the crowd, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

 Those who can cast "field" must be legendary card masters.

The Thirteen Knights has a "Nightkeeper" Rem, who is a legendary ranger. This has been recorded in the intelligence.

 But this second legend.

 And it seems to have a great background.

 Suddenly the situation became unpredictable.

Ji Xun originally speculated that the people behind the Lion Heart Family may not have used this plan to severely damage the Oran survivors and also make the Thirteen Kamen Riders organization suffer losses.

But now he looked at Catalina's equally surprised eyes and realized that she, the planner, did not know that the leader of the Thirteen Knights, "Light Chaser", would come.

Regardless of whether they recognized him or not, this posture had already made everyone in the banquet hall feel a fatal crisis.

Even the guests who had no idea they were involved began to realize that something was wrong.

 The battles between legendary strong men often destroy mountains and cities.

 This is not something you can just watch casually.

 But now all of them are restricted by this space barrier, and they have nowhere to go if they want to escape.

 The three legends are facing each other **** for tat with many powerful auras. This pressure is simply not something that low-level card masters can withstand.

The fat nobles all turned pale with fright, and their whole bodies were shaking like chaff.

Even when Ji Xun felt the needle-like sharpness, his pupils shrank.

If a fight really broke out like this, he was also thinking about where to hide to save his life.

However, the situation is not as bad as it seems.

 The Thirteen Knights did not seem to want to harm innocent people.

As soon as the "Light Chaser" appeared, he controlled the whole place with a field that no one could understand. Then he smiled easily, looked at the group of people in front of him who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and comforted him very thoughtfully: "Don't be so nervous. I am not the protagonist today."

As he said that, the eyes under the mask smiled playfully.

He took out another dark gold playing card. After infusing it with magic power, it became very shiny. He chanted softly: "Poker Game·Snow White."

 The Dark Money Poker collapsed on the spot.

 A magical scene took place.

The sensory world around us, like an abstract oil painting, has changed again.

In the blink of an eye, everyone saw that the banquet hall in front of them turned into a huge green table.

There are also some familiar square grids appearing on it.

This is not a card table in a casino?

Looking closely, everyone realized that they had appeared at a huge gambling table.

Seeing this extremely mysterious "Light Chaser" take action, the Oran Palace minister was originally preparing to stop him. But until the spell was completed, the old man was horrified to find that he had no choice but to watch the huge gambling table appear.

 The rules have been forcibly changed.

 But this is just the beginning.

Before Queen Catherine could react, she found herself on one side of the gambling table and became a "gambler."

 On the other side, Chujiu also appeared in the gambling position.

 “Poker Game·Snow White?”

Ji Xun felt that if he heard it correctly just now, it should be this name.

Not just him, all the guests had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

  Because this name refers to a very common two-person poker game on the market.

 The gamblers have "five hands" of cards and gamble in a turn-based manner.

 In the first four hands, both sides draw random cards, some big and some small, but the overall card strength is almost equal.

 The gamblers make their own combinations of cards and decide the order in which the cards are played.

　　If you win, kill the card and take away the opponent's betting chips.

 In the end, the princess versus the queen.

　　A battle of life and death.

 Simply put, the rules of the game are turn-based, one-on-one!

Ji Xun's expression became subtle when he saw this.

 Looking at the two sides of the bet, he immediately thought of the phone call story passed down from ancient times behind this poker method.

It is said that in a kingdom in ancient times, a vicious and fighting queen poisoned a beautiful and kind princess out of jealousy. The princess lives among the people and meets a righteous warrior. Then the princess and the warriors went back to fight the Poison Queen. In the end, good triumphs over evil.

From the current situation, the two protagonists Chujiu and Queen Catherine are already on the table. Isn’t this a story about fulfilling a bet?

 “How can this be done?”

Ji Xun doesn’t think this is a coincidence.

It seems like this story corresponds to some kind of rule.

Even the earth legend from the Oran Dynasty failed to break the situation.

Ji Xun is not troubled either.

Leaving aside the fairy tale behind the poker gambling method, he was amazed when he saw it: "Is this... forcing the melee into a turn-based system?"

Two gamblers came to the table, and everyone saw clearly that the "Light Chaser" had abruptly changed the rules of the battle with a spell.

 The situation suddenly got better.

Ji Xun just felt that if it was a melee, Chujiu's side might not necessarily be able to kill Queen Catherine.

Moreover, even if they were killed, the Thirteen Knights would definitely be damaged in the melee.

 It may not be worth it.

However, seeing this spell forcibly changing the rules of combat completely solved this problem.

The enemy must play according to the rules of the game he has set.

 The people watching were also relieved.

 It seems that it will not be affected.

Ji Xun also figured out why he came here. This rule was probably customized for the ninth day of the lunar month.

 She wanted to kill Queen Catherine herself.

This spell that forcibly changes the rules of combat is too incredible.

Ji Xun couldn't help but ask: "What is the ability in this 'I am the world' field?"

 He had seen some simple descriptions of "fields" in the classics before.

Generally speaking, it means that after the card master understands the laws of the universe to a certain level, he can control some of the laws of the universe and use them for his own use.

That kind of control ability is called "domain".

 But that realm is too ethereal, and low-level card masters cannot understand it at all.

 Fortunately, there is a noble lady with a top-notch inheritance.

However, Catalina looked at the gambling table in front of her and was equally puzzled, and responded: "I don't know either."

Ji Xun was surprised and said: "Don't know?"

˜Katrina: "Yes. My grandfather has seen this field before. However, he couldn't tell what is so great about it. He only warned me two words, there is no solution in this field."

 “No solution” has already explained this problem.

Ji Xun didn’t hesitate much after hearing this.

But looking at this ability to change the rules, he felt more and more weird: "Isn't it really that mushroom head?"

This hand looks familiar.

This reminded Ji Xun that when he was at the Tomb of Heroes in "The Battle of Ironforge", didn't Jia Yu completely ignore the field of gravity?

 I thought that guy had seen through the flaw in the field.

Now it seems that maybe this guy has changed some rules?

 The situation suddenly changed in this wonderful way.

The faces of the Oran remnants all changed greatly, because they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not figure out how to play this "poker game".

 Queen Catherine stood at the gambling table with a livid face.

 She felt deeply humiliated.

Thirteen Kamen Riders, do these guys really think they will win?

"snort!"

Catherine snorted coldly.

  She is the Queen of Oran, and her knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

  After all, the "Illumination Hermitage" is not a secret in the thousands of years of inheritance of the Oran royal family.

 Others may see it in confusion, but she clearly understands the essence of this spell.

Even if she is forced into this gambling game with specific rules, the outcome is still 50-50.

 Otherwise, if the rules of the game are to be forcibly changed in favor of one party, the price paid by the other party will be much greater than a head-on battle.

 Since there is no way to avoid gambling.

 Catherine gathered her thoughts and focused on the four colored "playing cards" that had appeared in front of her.

 When she saw the cards, she rolled her eyes without panicking at all, thinking about how to play the cards to win.

 The Thirteen Knights came prepared, and she also had a trump card!

  Furthermore, the queen's side is the defending side, so the cards in the first two rounds can be played later.

 This allowed her to take the initiative.

 The gambling game begins.

Chujiu did not hesitate and gently opened the round of cards in front of him.

The colorful poker light dispersed and gradually transformed into a human shape.

A blindfolded man in a cloak appeared on the card table, and it was Lu Yu, the "Lamp Holder".

 Looking at the S wanted criminal who suddenly appeared in the scene, Catherine's expression was expressionless and she thought to herself: "Do you want this?"

 She also clicked on a card.

How could she not see that although this "blind man" has very special abilities after solving the magic problem, he is still only at level five?

 Colorful cards collapsed, and "Golden Lion" Carlo suddenly appeared.

 When this hand of cards came out, Ji Xun and the onlookers also saw Catherine's intention.

 Carol is, after all, a genuine four-star general of the Federation, very powerful.

Even though the opponent is the mysterious "Lamp Bearer" Lu Yu, even if he cannot win, he will not be defeated in a short time.

As soon as the two parties met, they disappeared on the spot and immediately started taking action.

 “咚” “咚” “咚”.

 The battle between the top players is very fierce.

However, despite the huge movement, the fluctuations of the battle did not spread beyond the gambling table at all.

 The two parties in the battle seem to be confined to an independent space.

 No matter how you hit it, it will not affect the outside world.

 Seeing this scene, Ji Xun and the other melon eaters breathed a sigh of relief.

 At the same time, everyone was amazed.

 In the first round of poker, it looks like a draw for the time being.

 In the second round, the "Princess" side still plays first.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, a card was opened again.

 The cards fell apart, and Rem, the "Night Bearer" holding a dagger, appeared on the gaming table.

Although the First Ranger looked lazy and awake, the pressure from the legendary powerhouse was real.

This one is on the stage, he is not a legend, whoever goes will die.

According to the gameplay of "Poker Game·Snow White", even if it is an "ante bet", if you really want to lose, you will lose your luck.

 Each one is important.

 Catherine was not sure what the other party was going to do.

 But to be on the safe side, she also pointed out another insurance card.

 The luster faded, and an old man in a cloak appeared.

Having taken action just now, everyone knows which legendary earth card master this is.

 As soon as the two sides showed their cards, Rem had already disappeared.

The old man in the cloak did not dare to be careless. His domain expanded instantly, and the rock shadows all over his body condensed, blocking the dagger that had appeared on his neck.

 Legend vs. Legend, even though it’s Warlock vs. Ranger, there are certain professional restraints.

 But there is still no winner in a short period of time.

 In this second round, it still looks like a draw for the time being.

 Princess Chujiu, as the siege party, used both opportunities to play cards first.

 Now it’s Queen Catherine’s turn to take the lead.

 As soon as the order of playing cards is reversed, the situation suddenly becomes subtle.

 Because everyone knows that the "Princess" side has a big name who knows how strong it is - "Light Chaser".

 This will test the skill of the player.

 But there is another problem. On the Thirteen Knights side, only four of the Thirteen Knights showed up.

 A princess and three knights.

 But the rules are those of the Four Horsemen.

Two knight cards have been played, and the only known knight card left is "Light Chaser".

 The fourth card is the "dark card".

No one knows what it is.

 But according to the rules of the game, all the cards on the gambling table must be people who have already appeared in the hall.

 Everyone speculates that there is a hidden fifth Thirteen Knights.

 Catherine was also lost in thought.

Out of the two cards played by the opponent, there must be a famous card "Light Chaser".

 She is not stupid either.

Although I don’t know who the “Light Chaser” in front of me is.

 But now that she understood that realm, she knew that no matter who faced this person, they would not be able to win.

 Instead of ruining the big cards in your hand, it is better to sacrifice some small cards and at least only lose one round.

 After all, judging from the cards in your hand, the opponent's remaining "dark card" should not be very strong.

 Go first and show the small card.

If the opponent plays "Light Chaser" and wins the round, she is guaranteed to lose only one round.

 If the opponent does not play, it should at least be a draw.

 Three draws and one loss are quite acceptable.

Thinking of this, Catherine clicked on her third card.

As soon as the colorful playing cards fell apart, a group of twenty or thirty knights suddenly appeared on the huge gambling table.

 Seeing this, the bystanders were surprised.

"what's the situation?"

“Is this a straight hand made up of random cards?”

“Hiss, so the other side’s card is also a miscellaneous card?”

ˆ “.”

 There is no shortage of guests in the banquet hall who are proficient in this gambling method. When they saw the cards, they immediately guessed something. In the corner, Ji Xun looked at him with a startled expression.

He is also wondering about the "hidden card" of the Thirteen Knights.

 But when Queen Catherine made a "straight",

 Only then did he realize that the "dark card" might be different from what he expected.

 Him will not be like the top-level strong man just now.

 It is an existence whose level is not too high.

 Other brand?

 Suddenly, Ji Xun felt a growing premonition in his heart.

 Those who can be on the gambling table must be present.

ˆ also includes oneself.

By coincidence, he knew Chujiu very well and were good friends.

 Others don’t know that Ji Xun is here, but Chujiu must know.

 “Hehe. It’s not really me, is it?”

Ji Xun thought of this and grinned.

  More self-deprecating.

  Am I a no-name?

Hahaha.

This countertop can be considered a no-name brand, so it seems to be pretty good.

 A tacit understanding came over me.

 He thought that his old friend would do this.

What’s more, I am also looking forward to it.

Such a big scene has long been eager to try.

 Before, I felt that I couldn’t join in.

 But the current turn-based system seems to be okay?

With the thought coming together, the fighting spirit can no longer be restrained.

 The clown’s destiny is to dance on the stage.

 Even if you die on stage, it is the most glorious ending in life.

Moreover, Ji Xun also vaguely noticed that the layout of this gambling game was more complicated than what he saw in front of him.

This hand of cards has a profound meaning.

However, being able to personally participate in this level of wrestling is an exciting experience.

Katrina on the side is also thinking hard about what the Thirteen Knights' "hidden cards" will be.

Suddenly she noticed the change in Ji Xun's expression next to her, and suddenly woke up: "You don't know those people, do you?"

She then realized that she hadn’t asked yet.

 But thinking about the mysterious man who saved her last time, and what happened before, this guy’s identity and background is very complicated.

 I’m not sure I really know him.

"hey-hey."

Ji Xun tilted his head and smiled.

 Has responded.

 Because at this time, he also noticed the look in the eyes of his old friend at the gambling table and smiled slightly.

 There is a feeling in the heart.

 At nine o'clock on the lunar day, I opened the third poker card in front of me.

Just when everyone was guessing what "dark card" she would play, a funny clown suddenly appeared.

Katrina looked at the person who suddenly disappeared next to her, and her expression became subtle: "I really know that guy."

 “Hey, who is this guy?”

“It’s strange, I haven’t heard of such a mask among the Thirteen Knights.”

 “Clown? Where have you seen it recently?”

ˆ “.”

 The people watching a stranger wearing a clown mask appeared on the gambling table, and they immediately started whispering.

The one who appears is not the Light Chaser, then this is the "dark card" of the Thirteen Knights.

Then who is he?

 Why was he sent out?

 What ability does this person have?

 Doubts linger in everyone's mind.

Ji Xun stood proudly on the gambling table.

Even though he was surrounded by top-notch experts, he didn’t have any stage fright.

 The rules of the gambling game were like a spotlight, shining on him.

 It became the focus of the audience for a while.

this moment.

As if possessed by a demon, his body twitched slightly strangely, but it was not fear and timidity, but an excited sneer.

 Because the moment I stepped on stage, that familiar feeling surged into my heart like a hot flame.

This reminded him of the first time he played a clown and performed on stage in a circus.

 Nervous, timid, curious, anxious, and have a strong desire to express.

Although immature.

 But that first performance, he received a flood of applause.

 Clowns are born for the stage.

 But now, he has let go of glory countless times on the stage of life, and he has already become extremely calm.

 He felt the intense heat from those longing eyes.

These audiences are also looking forward to a wonderful performance.

Ji Xun has never disappointed anyone on stage.

 Hahaha. That’s the feeling.

How lucky is it for an unknown little actor to be able to play with a group of top stars?

 “It’s time to dance”

Ji Xun's exaggerated grin made the corners of Scarlet's mouth reach to his ears. He suddenly raised his head and looked outside the gambling table, then bowed deeply to the audience and performed the opening ceremony of a professional actor before a performance.

It was this opening ceremony that left everyone present stunned.

When Ji Xun first appeared on the stage, they felt an unabashed arrogance, violence and ferocity from the clown in front of them.

 That is a kind of edge that cannot be concealed under the aura of a group of top powerhouses.

 However, during the salute just now, the impression was suddenly violently reversed.

 Have they seen the elegance and extreme gentlemanliness underneath that calmness?

 No one can figure it out.

How can eccentricity and elegance, two obviously conflicting temperaments, appear in one person at the same time?

 But the shock had just begun.

Just after the clown's opening ceremony at the gaming table, everyone suddenly saw the phantom of a demon **** appear behind him.

The clown looked at everyone and grinned brightly.

 The demon behind him also looked at the crowd and laughed.

 For a time, an indescribable strange feeling suddenly hit everyone's hearts.

 “Look at that demonic shadow! It’s the S wanted criminal!”

ˆ “.”

 Seeing the phantom of the Clown Demon God, someone immediately recognized Ji Xun’s identity.

  Appearances can be disguised, but the Demonic Shadow is unique.

Now the Lion City is full of wanted posters.

 It clicked into place instantly.

 But the guests also understood.

 It turns out that this man is really a member of the Thirteen Knights.

 Only members of that legendary organization would be so outrageous.

 Just as the drama begins, the sense of anticipation is getting stronger and stronger.

 The eyes of the guests also became more and more expectant.

 Only Queen Catherine opposite saw this scene, but her expression was not good.

 The appearance of this "dark card" disrupted her original plan.

Now that the card is revealed, the fourth card in your hand will inevitably face "Light Chaser".

 In the fourth game, no matter who goes, no one can win.

 Still anxious about the first and second rounds.

 It seems that the only variable is the third round.

But if I’m not mistaken, this clown is not yet at level three?

 How can the rules of the game make the strength of "this card" equal to that of an integrated guard army?

 It was not just the queen who couldn't figure it out, but all the audience present couldn't figure it out.

 Because it is clearly marked on the wanted poster, this S-class wanted criminal does have the strength of a third-level card master.

  But that’s all.

 In front of me, there is a guard regiment led by a third-level elite commander!

Ji Xun didn't mind at all that he was related to the Thirteen Knights.

Anyway, when Kahn was originally assassinated, officials had already linked him to that organization.

 Now that the relationship is "confirmed", the wanted status will not change at all.

 The worst thing is to add a little more bounty.

Looking at the heavy armored knights in front of him, Ji Xun's eyes were filled with amusement, and his performance began.

His feet kicked the ground hard, and with a "pop" he stepped into the air and disappeared on the spot.

When he appeared again, he had turned into a ferocious werewolf as strong as steel.

 The Knight Legion is not only powerful in numbers, they are also good at legion attack tactics.

 This entire squad is enough to surround and kill enemies that are several times stronger than them!

 Seeing Ji Xun rushing over, the knight leader immediately shouted: "Form up!"

 The knights had been on guard for a long time and quickly changed their formations.

More than 20 people formed an iron barrel formation in an instant.

This turtle formation is enough to adapt to any situation, whether it's a legion charge or an expert attack.

Ji Xun’s eyes were full of sneers when he saw the steel battle formation with nowhere to go.

Like a cannonball out of nowhere, he ran into it without flinching.

 A "dong" sound.

This impact was like a hammer hitting a shield, making a muffled sound like a landslide.

This fool's arrogant style of play also made the heavy duty watch outside the gambling table full of doubts: Is this guy going to die?

However, in the next scene, after seeing the majestic werewolf really knocking the gap open in the battle formation, everyone was instantly shocked: What a terrifying power!

Being able to forcefully break through a shield formation means that the werewolf's strength attribute must be several times that of the knight behind the shield!

 However, the Knights were also prepared.

 At the same time that the flaw was exposed by the impact, several sharp spears had already stabbed out from behind the shield.

This kind of serial killing move of defensive counterattack has been tried many times on the battlefield.

 There is no way back from the brutal impact. If you don’t have time to escape, you will definitely be stabbed.

 This is also true.

 Several sharp spears accurately hit the werewolf's body.

 But just when everyone outside the gambling table thought they would see a scene of blood flying everywhere.

Suddenly, I heard a sharp metallic sound of "clang, clang, clang" coming from my ears.

The spear pierced the werewolf's body, as if it was not a body of flesh and blood, but a body of steel.

Even if a few spears can break through the flesh, they can't penetrate at all, and only a little blood can be seen.

 Everyone could not help but stop breathing when they saw the bizarre scene in front of them.

 Take a closer look.

Under the steel needle-like wolf hair, a layer of bronze skin can be seen with the naked eye, as well as layers of extremely mysterious curse seals.

Katrina was very familiar with Ji Xun, and she frowned slightly, wondering in her heart: "Curse Seal and Supreme Overlord Body? This guy has condensed the Curse Seal so quickly?"

Just now she was a little worried that Ji Xun would suffer a loss on the field.

 But now when I saw this exaggerated defense, that thought disappeared in an instant.

With just this move, it would be very difficult for a third-level card master to kill him without special abilities.

"hey-hey."

Ji Xun ignored the painless injuries on his body.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear. With a sudden pull, several heavy armored knights were pulled out.

While he was almost in mid-air, ripples of power appeared on his fists, and he punched out with both fists toward the chest of the heavy armored knight.

 “Boom!”

Ji Xun's current proficiency in [Erji Collapse] has reached Level 5, and he has already mastered the skills.

With the blessing of the magic solution, the power of these two punches was instantly injected into the armor.

The two heavily armored knights in mid-air had no chance to defend themselves, and "poof" a mouthful of old blood sprayed on their masks.

Ji Xun had no intention of spending any more time. He had already broken through the knight formation after killing two people in a row.

Before the barrel could be closed again, black threads suddenly appeared on his fist.

 This distance is close enough!

 Grab it with five fingers, as if pulling something real.

Suddenly, a strange suction force formed in the void.

　　The few heavily armored knights in front of them had not yet figured out what was going on. Suddenly they felt their body's center of gravity was unstable and staggered forward.

Ji Xun looked at the enemy in front of his chest, his eyes narrowed, and he punched him with two more punches.

 Kill two more people!

The secret method of "inducing the gods to fall" that I have been practicing hard these days is really useful.

Although it is only a little superficial, the effect of breaking the formation is really excellent.

 And even if the enemy knows about it, he cannot prevent it.

Ji Xun's purpose was very clear. He ignored the third-level knight commander and killed the members of the shield formation first. Once the battle formation was broken, these people would be lambs to be slaughtered sooner or later.

 Repeating the same old tricks.

The gravitational force pulls, and the fist blows to kill.

In the blink of an eye, he had already opened a gap in the battle formation and was still killing.

This scene stunned all the people watching.

 A careless person really penetrated the "Iron Bucket Formation"?

Obviously it was the most inconspicuous round among the four rounds of gambling. The opponents on both sides were of low rank, but it gave people the most exciting performance.

 It was this brutal style of play and exaggerated combat power that made Ji Xun's "third round of cards" seem like he could see the outcome all at once.

This scene was not only dumbfounded by the guests outside the gambling table.

As one of the few people who knew Ji Xun, Catalina's eyes were full of disbelief at this moment: "What kind of ability is that? Also, when did this guy become so strong?!"

She never expected that Ji Xun's combat prowess would be so outrageous after not seeing him for a long time.
