Cataclysm King

Chapter 268 Natural Disaster·Ground Ming

 “Boom!”

 “Boom!”

 “Boom!”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun was also caught off guard by the sudden change.

 In the broken building, he fought fiercely with his own shadow.

Ji Xun's muscles were already covered with a bronze sheen, while the shadow opposite him also had a dark golden sheen.

This shadow completely reproduced everything about him.

 Equipment, spell power, martial arts, and magic mysteries, including magic solutions and "meaning" that have just touched the threshold.

 Hegemony fist versus hegemony fist, hegemony body versus hegemony body, wandering body palm, tiger cannon fist. Every move is repeated.

Ji Xun used gravity flying knives to plot a sneak attack, and Shadow also made six replicas of the flying knives, fighting back and forth.

And what's worse is that this shadow can also cast the "immortality curse".

This magical magic of krypton can ignore almost all injuries that are not fatal on the spot.

Ji Xun also had a headache looking at it.

For the first time, he felt that it was quite outrageous to meet an enemy like "himself".

Various means emerge in endlessly.

 Can’t be beaten to death yet.

 Both sides know the other side well, and they have completely replicated the extremely calm thinking ability when facing a challenge, and the state of excitement when encountering a strong person.

 The only good news is that all of "Shadow's" methods are copied from himself, and Ji Xun is not worried about encountering any methods he has never seen before.

Qin Rushi originally arranged the war barrier to protect his safety, but now it has become a one-on-one cage.

 The two sides started fighting fiercely in the small building.

Qin Ru outside saw it, but had no time to take care of it.

 The situation over there is much more dangerous than Ji Xun's.

Two legends of the Oran Dynasty are currently attacking with all their strength.

 The three of them fought in a confused state.

But Ji Xun himself didn’t feel he needed help.

 He even felt that this opportunity was rare.

 Fighting with your own shadow is like looking into a mirror.

 The flaws and weaknesses in his body were completely exposed at this moment.

“You have captured the ‘flaw of air control’ and your martial arts proficiency +331”

“You have gained insight into the ‘Yun Jin veins of the Ba Fist’, and your proficiency level is +76”

“Your keen observation has revealed the ‘weakness of the body-protecting Gang Qi’, and the Gang Qi has been condensed +9.”

 Enlightenment is constantly being refreshed.

Ji Xun’s eyes reflected the moves used by his own shadow, and his eyes were full of energy.

 For the first time, I looked at the martial arts skills I had mastered from the perspective of a bystander.

 After all, if you want to win, you have to find the flaw in the shadow martial arts.

The brain is running at high speed, looking for opportunities in countless pictures.

 This is a very amazing experience.

The feeling is like checking the test paper after an exam, correcting a few wrong questions that you didn't realize you had, and instantly feeling relieved.

“This ‘Secret Realm of Divine Ruins’ is really a treasured place for inheritance.”

 While fighting, Ji Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

 If he can really defeat his own shadow, his understanding of himself will reach a new level.

 No wonder Gong Wu always said in his previous teachings: It is not difficult to defeat the enemy. In many cases, the victory is determined by the crushing of combat power caused by the gap in realm; only by defeating yourself can you see your own shortcomings.

 I couldn’t understand it before, it was so confusing.

Now after experiencing it personally, I understand the great wisdom in this statement.

To truly defeat a 100% replica of yourself, your understanding of martial arts will directly reach a new level.

 Gong Wu got over this bottleneck of "defeating himself" and practiced hard for many years.

 But this secret realm gives the tester a shortcut.

 Danger is a little more dangerous.

 But the advantage is that you can get it right in one step!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification)

There was another collision, and Ji Xunbao's hand knife, filled with energy, cut into the shadow's chest like a blade.

The shadow also punched him on the shoulder, and a cracking sound was heard.

 Both sides used the Immortal Curse to recover from their injuries, and in a flash they were fighting together again.

Ji Xun looked at his own shadow and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

 At the beginning, he and the shadow were really inseparable from each other.

 With the same strength and absolute understanding of the opponent, it is difficult to distinguish the winner at the technical level.

 It seems to depend more on luck.

 Life and death are both 50/50.

However, gradually, Ji Xun knew that he had won.

 Because he finally discovered a shortcoming of this shadow that was not a weakness.

 Shadow has indeed completely replicated all of its own attributes and skills.

but!

Those are the attributes of the replica Ji Xun when he first entered the secret realm!

At this moment, Ji Xun has absorbed a large number of extraordinary monster characteristics throughout the day, and his physical attributes in all dimensions have increased by about 3%!

  Don’t look at this difference as insignificant.

 But with equal strength, it is enough to determine the winner.

 But even so, because the shadow will be "immortal curse".

 If he really wanted to kill Shadow, he would lose miserably.

 But there’s another point!

Ji Xun feels that he will win steadily and it will become easier and easier.

That is, he is still learning and making progress at this moment, but Shadow is not!

 With the blessing of JOKER's magic solution and fear, Ji Xun is in an extremely efficient state of enlightenment every moment.

Although my body has not changed, my understanding of myself is getting deeper and deeper.

 Hitting it, it can be said that Ji Xun has seen his own weaknesses one after another from the shadow, and then tried to change them as much as possible.

 But the shadow still retains those shortcomings!

 As time goes by, this gap will become wider and wider.

"I see."

 At this point, Ji Xun finally understood the meaning of the "Shadow Trial".

 The Mysterious Realm of Shenxu encourages testers to improve their strength and defeat their past selves.

 This method is definitely one of the fastest ways to improve your strength!

I have to say that the secret realm was indispensable to the fact that the Kasshi civilization of the Talon Dynasty three thousand years ago was so brilliant.

 If any large force really controls this [Shenxu Treasure House], it will definitely create batches of strong men.

In comparison, today’s Federation of Card Masters is really like a beggar, picking up **** in the wilderness, scraping together a patchwork of inheritance.

 The former card masters of the Tarun Dynasty were born into noble families.

Ji Xun was fighting fiercely, and his thoughts were racing in his mind.

 It takes some time to decide the winner in the battle with your own shadow.

 He is not in a hurry to decide the winner.

  You have to be stuck here to absorb those terrifying emotions anyway.

 It was a rare opportunity to fight with him, so he simply fought more and more unconservatively, using a set of [Palace Style Traveling Palm], which can be used as a palace guard.

 The longer time passes, the more combat insights Ji Xun can gain.

It’s also a good time to take a look at what flaws there are in myself.

 It was not just Ji Xun who triggered the intermediate shadow.

 As long as the normal combat power of the current rank is exceeded, it will be triggered.

The three of Qin Rushi who were fighting fiercely outside soon encountered each other.

 The "shadows" of the three of them suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

 The situation suddenly became chaotic.

 Shadows are their own enemies.

 The original two-on-one situation turned into a three-on-three and two-on-one melee.

Ji Xun took the time to look at the battlefield outside and breathed a sigh of relief.

 This situation is not worse for Qin Rushi.

 Because, the shadows of these three people did not reproduce the "realm"!

 Seeing this, Ji Xun also guessed some possibilities.

 Normally speaking, sixth-level card masters cannot understand the field. Those who can understand it are all extremely talented.

This secret realm is not to kill the trialists, but to encourage them to become stronger.

So this "intermediate replica" is not intended to limit the ability of extremely talented card masters to understand the field, so it does not have the ability to replica.

 In this way, the pressure on the shadows will be much less for the three legends.

 Once the realm is opened, it is much easier for them to deal with their own shadows than even Ji Xun.

 Seeing this scene, Ji Xun suddenly thought of Gong Wu.

Although the old man has realized the power of the gods, from a certain perspective, he is already considered a "demigod".

 But he does not have a fusion professional card, and his rank is still sixth level.

 And the shadow cannot even recreate the realm, let alone the divine power.

If this old man deals with his own shadow, won't it disappear in seconds?

 This secret realm is probably not dangerous to him except for those super-level monsters.

Ji Xun had a feeling that if the old man had not been delayed due to his sinister character, he might have arrived long ago.

 Just didn’t take any action and just watched the show from the sidelines.

The old man would definitely enjoy watching someone in his Ji getting beaten.

Ji Xun could even think of a picture: an old man, or two. Hidden in a corner to watch the battle, from time to time he would point and point disdainfully: "Oh, this guy is not bad~"

Just with these thoughts, Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. He thought of something and murmured: "Has your understanding of 'meaning' also deepened?"

This kind of underworld feeling is "meaning".

 This is the sixth sense besides the “five senses” of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body.

　　Not only does it detect crises, it often also has some unspeakable and wonderful uses.

 For example: some premonitions are very accurate.

 Outside the boundary.

 In the corner, two old men were hiding in an inconspicuous corner.

“Ouch, old man Merlin, look at it, that kid has a good understanding, right? He even realized this weakness on his own. I thought it would take him several years.”

"It's indeed good. When I first met him, he was still an apprentice card master. I didn't expect that he would change so quickly. By the way, old man, don't you stop teaching disciples?"

　　"I don't think that boy can be considered a disciple. I just gave him a few fingertips."

"Ah"

"This 'Shenxu Treasure House' is indeed the same as the legend. By the way, when did your Illuminati find this treasure? I couldn't tell you earlier. I have been searching outside for decades, but I still haven't found a seventh-level professional card that absolutely suits me. . If I had known that I could get it by killing the 'Shadow', I would have been here earlier. Hehe, the 'Intermediate Copy' was given this big surprise, and I don't know what the reward for the 'Advanced Copy' will be."

“I just want to understand the whole plan.”

"That's right. The light chasers of all generations have been talking about it. The layout is almost fate. They have never been able to guess it. After all, this is a legendary 'artifact', and the cost of using it must be high. After this time, your leader may not survive. ”

"Why"

ˆ “.”

As Ji Xun guessed, Gong Wu and Mei Lin rushed over quickly after seeing the signal.

The two of them join forces. As long as they don't encounter the super-level monster in this secret realm, no one can stop them.

 It’s not just them.

 More and more people are attracted by this war.

But these people are more concerned about the battle between Qin Rushi and the other two knights of King Oran.

This kind of scene of three legends fighting to the death cannot be seen elsewhere.

Originally, there were still people who wanted to take action.

 But seeing the shadow appear, no one dared to intervene now.

Not to mention the intensity of this kind of battle, ordinary top-level card masters have no qualifications to get involved.

Even if you go there, if you really want to trigger the shadow, without a domain, you are guaranteed not to be able to defeat the shadow, let alone help. On the other side, Catalina frowned as she watched.

 She didn't know what was going on with Ji Xun.

 But she was among the crowd of onlookers, and she was definitely the one who least wanted to see Ji Xun in danger.

Qin Rushi, who descended from the gods to earth, was unparalleled in combat power, but he could only defeat several of them.

 But this kind of fighting also puts a huge burden on her.

 Although legends can exert their own "domains", this kind of power beyond the sixth level also puts a heavy burden on the sixth level's body.

Even if Qin Ru can be so undefeated, if he really fights, his life or death will be uncertain.

not to mention.

From the information she knew, the "Four Knights of the King" of the Oran Dynasty were not two, but four!

There is also the high priest and the palace secret guard whose legend is unfathomable.

Those Oran remnants have been hiding in hiding for two hundred years, and they have only recently surfaced. Who knows what else they may have hidden behind them.

 Now it seems that the alliance between the Lionheart family and the Oran remnants is really seeking the skin of a tiger.

 The guards on the side also had very ugly expressions.

　　Previously, I wanted to help after listening to my lady’s instructions. But now I see that even if they bite the bullet, the help they can do is very limited.

 Katrina understands this very well.

 Although she wanted to help.

 But he also doesn’t want his subordinates to make unnecessary sacrifices.

 She scanned the whole situation with her eyes, catching the moon and the sacred tree in the distance, and suddenly thought of something.

“Go and contact the other great councilors and ask them to send people directly to the sacred tree to contain them. No matter what those Oran remnants want to do, they must not be allowed to succeed so smoothly!”

"yes!"

"There is no need to fight to the death, just make more noise."

 “Yes, Miss!”

Hearing this, the guards also breathed a sigh of relief.

From the current point of view, with their current military strength, they have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with the Oran remnants.

 But it’s totally fine to contain them.

The guards followed the order and left.

 Catalina sees more than others.

 She guessed that it was the new king of Oran who absorbed the fear.

  And it may be at a very critical breakthrough node.

So now that the king is here, the most important purpose of these "King's Four Knights" is to protect their king.

Since the frontal battlefield cannot be touched, we can only attack in the east and in the west.

Katrina sent people to attack the new king of Oran, and they would definitely be able to contain the people over there.

Perhaps the noise will be loud enough to attract the two people here to return to defense.

 Everything that can be done has been done.

Katrina also calmed down and watched the battle carefully.

 The legendary battle Katarina can't understand much.

 But she watched the battle between Ji Xun and his shadow intently throughout the whole process.

“It turns out that the ‘intermediate shadow’ is like this. It replicates the original attributes. In other words, as long as you can find your own ‘weakness’, or learn new abilities, you can defeat it.”

Katrina also understood the essence of the "intermediate shadow".

The blue pupils were faintly glowing.

 This is an extraordinary world. If you want to control power, it is absolutely impossible without absolute force.

 Looking at Ji Xun, courage suddenly emerged in the heart of Silver Mist Rose.

 Her eyes became more and more determined, and she decided to challenge her own shadow!

 In the broken building, the balance of the battle between Ji Xun and Shadow has obviously begun to tilt.

Ji Xun saw through more and more flaws in "himself", and it became easier and easier to fight again.

 Although it is still very intense.

 But now he was able to target those "flaws" and inflict heavy damage on the shadow.

Even though Shadow could keep using the Immortality Curse to recover, in the end the injuries accumulated more and more and he became weaker and weaker.

Ji Xun has been observing the battle outside with his peripheral vision.

 The three legends have killed their respective shadows, and it has become a two-on-one situation again.

At this moment, a huge mushroom cloud suddenly exploded in the distance.

 “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

  Ji Xun took a look.

 It was near the Silver Moon God Tree that someone released a powerful bomb.

Even more than ten kilometers away, Ji Xun's neighborhood was blown away by the shock wave.

And after these explosions, various movements, exaggerated spells, and colorful bombs went off like firecrackers.

“Bang, bang, bang”

technological weapons such as bombs pose very little threat to top-level card masters.

 But I can’t suppress the commotion!

There are not only humans in these ruins, but also countless undead monsters.

The sound of this explosion may attract monsters all over the city.

Even if normal people knew that the Silver Moon Sect was using the moon and the sacred tree to cause trouble, they would not dare to approach.

 After all, just by thinking with your toes, you can guess that there is a top-notch strong person over there.

 The only one who has the guts to do this, and the strength and motivation, is Catalina.

 “What a good plan!”

When Ji Xun saw this, he secretly praised it in his heart.

As soon as this noise came out, the two legends Jialan, the "Four-Eyed Monk" and Qiao Lin, the "Forbidden Curse Master", were immediately distracted.

If someone really wants to surround and kill their king now, Qin Ru is dragging them here, but he seems very passive.

Ji Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the increasingly fierce explosions in the distance.

The Oranxin King is probably having a headache at the moment, and he can only worry about one side.

However, although this plan of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao was good, the Lion Heart family was completely at odds with the Oran remnants.

  The bait must also be sacrificed a lot.

 Catalina’s structure is large enough and loyal enough.

Not long after, Ji Xun seized a flaw and punched Shadow in the chest, pouring in a strange energy.

Like shrapnel from a bomb exploding inside the body, the whole heart was shattered into pieces.

This is an injury that cannot be saved by the Immortality Curse.

 Shadow died suddenly on the spot.

At the same time enlightenment also appeared.

“Kill the ‘intermediate mirror copy’ and obtain the secret scroll ‘True Explanation of Natural Disasters·Earth Crying (Remnant)*1’”

"Earn the evaluation of 'Excellent Trialist', you will receive the blessing of the Shenxu Treasure House, and temporary luck +2"

 “Supernatural powers?”

Ji Xun’s eyes froze as he looked at the secret scroll that appeared on the corpse.

 【True explanation of natural disaster·earthquake (remaining)】

Detailed explanation: collapse of the sky, roar of the earth, ruins of the sea. Fragments of magical powers exclusive to the sequence of natural disasters; fragments of the secret practice of the earth magic power fragment ‘rumbling of the earth’ are recorded. The secret scroll records some mysteries about the ‘domain’;

 (Note: Elementary, intermediate and advanced martial arts - special secret skills - mysteries - magical powers)

This is the first time Ji Xun has come into contact with such a high-end secret technique.

 It’s so high-end that it feels a bit overwhelming.

“What does this mystery about ‘domain’ mean?”

Ji Xun looked at Qidi with some confusion.

 This is some knowledge beyond his current knowledge.

 I think it should be a "leap-level reward".

 But what he was even more confused about was: "But...how did I get the fragments of the magical power of the natural disaster sequence?"

Logically speaking, if you kill your own shadow, you will be rewarded with skills that are highly compatible with your profession.

Although my JOKER can fit any career sequence.

 But so far, it has nothing directly to do with the sequence of the path of destruction [9 of Spades - Natural Disaster], right?

However, Ji Xun turned a page at random, and his eyes quickly scanned the text on the secret book.

He saw something he could understand, and suddenly realized: "Can this secret method be activated by "inducing the fall of the gods"? "

 In an instant, Ji Xunming realized.

This secret method seems to use some form similar to the collapse of the gravitational field to cause an "earthquake" destructive phenomenon on the ground.

Ji Xun now has a lot of new insights into gravity.

This is such a highly compatible magical power!

 When I thought about it again, I felt relieved.

  "Inducing the God of Heaven to Fall" is a magical and mysterious method exclusive to the [Spade-J-God of War] sequence.

And the demon **** "Lord of War and Destruction" Akris pointed to by this sequence is originally a demon **** with dual godheads of "war" and "destruction".

It is reasonable that the exclusive magic and mystic techniques of this sequence can activate the exclusive mystical techniques of destruction.

"It's awesome. Does that mean that if I learn this secret technique, I can create artificial earthquakes? Can I break the armor with one punch?"

Ji Xun just looked at the introduction and became very excited.

 It did not disappoint.

“Use [Hegemony Fist] again to activate, and with one punch a mountain will collapse and the earth will be shattered?”

Ji Xun saw this secret technique. At this moment, his active thinking had unconsciously connected this magical power with the martial arts he had mastered.

  If Baquan is a firearm, then this [Earth Ming] is a special alchemy bullet!

 After all, this is a barrier.

Ji Xun killed his own shadow, and at this moment his nerves instinctively relaxed.

 He didn't look at the booklet, so he put it away and continued to absorb the fear elements around him with all his strength.

However, unexpectedly, a wisp of strange black energy merged with the fear element and sneaked in secretly.

 The black energy turned into a grimace and quietly appeared behind Ji Xun.

The grimace condensed and took shape, suddenly turning into a strange and extremely handsome face of a man.

"not good!"

At this moment, Ji Xun was adjusting his breath and recovering when he suddenly noticed something.

 But it’s too late.

The monster man showed his fangs like venomous snakes and bit him on the neck with one bite. His eyebrows were filled with a sly smile: "Hey, you are really alert."

Ji Xun felt a pain in his neck, and then he realized that he had been sneak attacked.

 In an instant, the body protects the body, and the body retreats violently.

 Looking again, a strange man in a white suit appeared in front of him for some reason.

Looking at this bizarre appearance, Ji Xun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he already had a guess in his mind: "The God Thief is from the Bai family?"

He glanced at the blood at the corner of the guy's mouth out of the corner of his eye, and then glanced at his healed neck.

　　 Feeling a little bit bad.

This guy just sucked a big mouthful of his own blood.

"hey-hey."

The enchanting man looked at him with a playful expression.

I wanted to say that the blood has been sucked away by him, the Bai family's secret method has been locked, and there is no need to struggle anymore.

However, before he could say anything proudly, his expression suddenly changed.

The enchanting man looked at Ji Xun. It was clearly his sneak attack, but his expression seemed to have been plotted. He said with a mixture of shock and anger: "You! Your blood is contaminated!"

As he said this, the guy looked as if he had taken a sip of poison. He quickly punched his chest twice, and "wow" a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

Just took a sip.

 Now spit it out in a big bowl.

 This monster man looked at Ji Xun again and couldn't hide his shock: "You are a vampire!"
