Chapter 553 Gambling
Ji Xun stood on the stone pillar, looking at the more than 100 people in front of him with stunned expressions, and grinned.
The corner of Reni's eye twitched slightly, and he said in his heart, "Sure enough."
When he was in the city before, he guessed that the strength of this old friend might have been stronger than he imagined.
And just now, watching Ji Xun swaggering to stop the people of the Herlandes family, Reni had an idea in his mind that he couldn't believe: Could this guy be the eighth level?
Now hearing him propose a duel, this guess has become a fact.
Without such strength, he would definitely not be so calm.
But how did this guy advance?
Although the last time we met was more than a year ago, he was only at the sixth level at that time, and he is already at the eighth level?
However, before Reni could be shocked, a cold shout rang out: "Humph! Do you really think that there is no one in our Herlandes family?"
In a blink of an eye, the old man who spoke was one of the four knights of the king, the strongest of the Herlandes family, "Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin.
In their opinion, this proposal was full of humiliation.
How could more than a hundred people not be angry when they were pointed at and asked to duel.
But after shouting this, Qiao Lin had to admit that Ji Xun's proposal was the best plan.
Of course, the most important thing is that he also saw that the strength of the S-level wanted criminal in front of him, who was once popular in the East Wilderness, was probably really strong, and it would not be good for both sides to fight.
Someone has to step down when someone steps up.
The clan leader Elsa quietly looked at Ji Xun for a while, and couldn't figure out the other party's intention, so she opened her mouth and tried: "Oh? How do you want to duel?"
In her opinion, this guy is more likely to delay time.
Ji Xun didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind. He said directly: "I just said that I must take this batch of goods. You will definitely not let it go. Since we have to fight, let's have a one-on-one duel. If I lose, I will retreat. If you lose, I will take the things away."
"."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the Orlan Royal Court were furious and stared at Ji Xun.
This guy is really arrogant. Does he really think that there is no one in their Herlandes family?
"Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin immediately stood up and said coldly: "Since you are so confident in your own methods, then I will try your methods."
A very clever response.
Just said to compare, but did not agree to the conditions of the bet.
After all, this batch of mechanical equipment is related to the lives of the entire Herlandes family, and it must not be lost.
Ji Xun saw the language art of these old nobles. In other words, it means: try first, and then beat them up if it doesn't work.
However, Ji Xun really didn't want to play tricks with these people, so he said bluntly: "If it was you who showed up, the fight might not end well."
"You!!!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said that, but once he said that, the people of the Herlandes family in front of him were like cats whose tails were stepped on and their fur was mad again.
"Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin was so angry that his right eyelid twitched violently, and he couldn't hide his murderous intent: "Your Excellency is quite arrogant."
"Tsk tsk."
Ji Xun didn't get angry when he looked at it, but the arc of his mouth was raised and it became more and more difficult to suppress.
He knew that he couldn't convince these people with his mouth. While laughing, the clown's phantom appeared behind him, and he chanted the spell: "Second Solution·All-Seeing Clown."
This "Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin in front of him was indeed at the eighth level.
But there is a gap between the eighth level and the eighth level.
A true master of the same level can judge many things in an instant by revealing his aura.
Ji Xun saw that Qiao Lin must have taken a shortcut when he advanced to the seventh level. He did not rely on the comprehension of divine power to advance, but used the mythical crystal core.
Later, he was promoted to the eighth level by force, but his foundation was poor, and the gap would become larger and larger in the future.
His current situation is much worse than those eighth-level dragons in the southern continent, not to mention Ji Xun.
It can be said that it is not difficult for Ji Xun to kill him.
However, the Herlandes family is the family of the King's Four Knights after all, and they must have treasures in their hands.
If a real fight breaks out, if Ji Xun does not have the intention to kill, there will be a lot of noise.
Seeing the clown phantom appear behind Ji Xun, the situation instantly became tense.
The more than 100 people in the Orlan Royal Court had various cards in their hands, and the guns and cannons on the mechanical arms were all pointed at him.
Rennie's face changed drastically because of the murderous aura like a steel needle, and he made a decision in his heart to prepare to fight the enemy with Ji Xun.
But before he took out the mechanical puppet, the whole valley suddenly seemed to be mute, and it was silent.
Ji Xun's second magic solution not only has the pressure of the demon god, but also his divine power comparable to that of an eighth-level dragon.
This terrifying power of the demigod directly shocked everyone present.
That is the pressure of higher life forms on lower life forms. The fear comes from the depths of the soul, and most people can't bear it at all. They trembled involuntarily and almost knelt down with weak knees.
After Ji Xun's magic solution, he did not take action.
Instead, he squatted on the stone pillar, with a more treacherous smile on his face than before, scanning the people in front of him.
This is the eighth level that relies on comprehending divine power step by step!
After the second magic solution, the power of the JOKER demon god that he can control is definitely not comparable to the eighth level that takes shortcuts.
The East Wilderness is not like the Southern Continent where there are dragon masters everywhere. The seventh level here is very rare. Where have people like Oran seen this posture?
They didn't know the horror of Ji Xun's realm.
But Qiao Lin, who was also an eighth-level "forbidden spell master", knew it!
The murderous aura on Ji Xun was directed at him. At this moment, he realized that the other party was not arrogant at all, but a kind reminder!
The king's four knights stood there with a gloomy face, watching the clown's phantom as if it overlapped with Ji Xun. He realized how terrifying the other party's strength was.
It seemed that if he really wanted to do it, the other party would be sure to kill him on the spot!
You know, top-level card masters usually have their own means of survival. It's not difficult to determine the winner. But if you want to kill a card master of the same level, it will be extremely difficult unless the gap in strength is huge.
But now, that kind of equal confidence is gone, and he only feels the murderous intent as if it were real!
It's no wonder that Qiao Lin was shocked and dared not move. With Ji Xun's strength, even the eighth-level dragon descendants of the southern continent would have to admit defeat, not to mention him, an eighth-level who took a shortcut.
Others didn't know that at this moment, the two eighth-level masters had already fought once.
The atmosphere was strangely silent.
Other card masters didn't understand what happened, but the old clan leader Elsa understood something from her brother's cautious expression.
Glancing at her old friend Reni again, the expression in her eyes became complicated.
Just now, I thought my old friend brought outsiders to pit me.
Now it seems that it is probably because of Reni's face that the terrifying young man in front of me, who didn't know where he came from, gave enough face and didn't take action directly.
Elsa's face dimmed, and she murmured in her heart: "Are the people around Princess Chujiu so powerful?"
She actually saw more and more deeply than others.
Even in the Oran Royal Court, few people knew the truth about the dispute between Chujiu and Arthur for the throne.
It is also unknown whether the wanted criminal in front of him has a close relationship with the exiled princess.
But Elsa knew.
Even from the moment she knew the other party's identity, she guessed that Ji Xun came to rob this batch of equipment, and there was something behind it.
After all, the Titan production line is useless to ordinary people, so there must be a big force behind it.
Especially the previous question of "loyalty to the Orlan royal family or loyal to the Augustus royal family", in fact, she had already guessed something at that time.
However, the struggle for royal power involves too complicated things, and no one expected it to develop to this point.
What the old woman didn't expect was that she guessed half right.
Ji Xun didn't come here at the behest of Chujiu. They are friends and there is no monarch-minister relationship.
It's just that this production line is of great benefit to the development of future scientific and technological civilization. When he came across it, he just took it.
Besides, Ji Xun also wanted to see what the Orlan royal court was going to do.
He looked at Qiao Lin and didn't do it, and he also saved enough face.
Humiliation is not the goal, and Reni's favor still needs to be given.
He turned to look at the genius boy Rick, who was already shocked and horrified, and said, "I had an agreement with Rick before. I will fight him with the sixth-level means. If I win, I will take this batch of equipment away. If I lose, I promise to give him a treasure, and you can also take the things away. Of course, if I use the means beyond the sixth-level law, it will also be considered my loss."
Ji Xun not only wants to win, he also wants to reverse some stereotypes of the Herlandes family.
For example, let them know that there is an orthodox Augustus princess outside, and she is already very powerful.
Some things are like a flame on the grassland. Don't expect it to achieve the goal all at once. It has to burn slowly and slowly before it can spread all over the prairie.
The chess pieces can only see the line in front of them, and "I am the world" allows Ji Xun to glimpse some of the chess players' ideas.
This is a very far-reaching chess move.
More importantly, he found some interesting things in his deduction.
Always give the "guy hiding in the dark" a chance to make a move.
As soon as these words came out, the Herlandes family fell silent.
Ji Xun had already given them enough face, and now was not the time to play tricks on them.
"Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin said nothing, because he knew he had no chance of winning. Even if everyone attacked together, they might not be able to defeat the opponent, and might even attract the strong men from the southern continent of Innocence City.
The old patriarch Elsa glanced at her brother's expression, and finally sighed: "Okay! On behalf of the Herlandes family, I agree to this duel."
Since Qiao Lin, the strongest in the family, had no chance of winning, they had no choice.
Besides, if they really wanted to duel, if they were both at the sixth level, the genius of the family that had not been seen for a thousand years, Reike, might not lose!
Hearing this, Reni beside Ji Xun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, he was really ready for a big fight, and he was thinking that if he really started, he might not be able to explain it clearly.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn.
Reni glanced at Ji Xun beside him with a little gratitude, and felt indescribably happy.
Only then did he see clearly how meticulous this old friend's mind was. He seemed to have thought of this step from the beginning.
Although robbing things is still a bit weird.
But at least no matter whether the duel wins or loses, the two sides don't have to tear each other apart completely.
Rick was young and energetic. After hearing his grandmother's agreement, he couldn't help but shouted: "Okay! I'll try your methods!"
Even though he knew he was facing an eighth-level strongman, the boy still had no fear.
That kind of confidence also relied on his own strength.
Ji Xun looked at him and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He also agreed with the old patriarch's words to give him some time to discuss tactics.
The strength cannot be improved in a short period of time. Of course Ji Xun wants to get it. It is probably because the Herlanders family will take out some bottom-of-the-box treasures in order to win.
But it doesn’t matter.
Ji Xun had as many treasures as anyone else, and even if he only used sixth-level methods, he had no reason to lose.
On the contrary, this scene felt a bit familiar.
For example, several senior card masters I have met have taught me this way.
After waiting for a long time, Lake came out.
Everyone marked out a place and arranged the boundary for the poker showdown.
Ji Xun had already put away the secondary magic solution. This was not a sixth-level power.
He didn't even have a magic solution, so he just looked at the energetic young man in front of him with such interest.
Lake walked onto the ring and looked at Ji Xun. Although he still did not forget the etiquette, his tone was not so polite: "Please enlighten me!"
Ji Xun looked at him and reminded: "If you have any means, use it as soon as possible, otherwise you may not have a chance."
The two of them have been together these past few days, and he has actually seen that this young man's talent is indeed very good. But just because of his good talent, he was probably well protected by his family, and his actual combat experience was a bit lacking. If it were really a battlefield, the moment the two of them were talking would actually be enough for Ji Xun to seize the opportunity.
"Hmph! You don't need to remind me!"
Lake snorted.
Of course he wouldn't be careless. Grandma and uncle had warned him just now.
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon god's shadow appeared behind him, and a card in his hand was activated: "Field·Lei Ji Ba Yumen Kongming!"
In an instant, a purple crystal ball appeared in the young man's hand, and at the same time, eight thunder element rune hell gates condensed around his body.
As soon as this area was displayed, the surrounding thunder elements were instantly controlled around his thunder gate.
Ji Xun had never seen this field before, but with his current vision, after a few more glances, he understood the ropes and chuckled: "Hey, this field is very interesting."
Raimon is both offensive and defensive, and has the effect of barrier control.
It can be said to be a very perfect elemental field.
And being able to comprehend the field at this age is enough to be considered a genius.
Moreover, Ji Xun also recognized the thunder ball in Lake's hand as the fifth-level relic [Ten Thousand Methods Thunder Ball] from the Oran Palace.
This relic can accumulate massive amounts of mana and provide extremely high lightning element affinity, making it a treasure for thunder card masters.
Genius + treasure, most people really get a headache when they see it.
But Ji Xun glanced at it and thought it was pretty good.
Unexpectedly strong.
Reike didn't hesitate at all. Several cards were shot together, and the spell was instantaneous: "The Secret of Thunder Law. Five Thunder Seals·Mountain, Wind, Water, Fire and Wood!"
Although thunder is a single element, it can also change into multiple elements under the control of the card master. Just like the water element can decompose and burn, once the thunder element is given the characteristics of other elements, it will explode with incredible reactions.
Ji Xun recognized the origin of this spell the moment he took out the card, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's very good."
The starting point is an extremely difficult compound spell, which is a bit of a show-off.
But handsome is handsome, and strong is really strong.
Coincidentally, Ji Xun had seen an introduction to this thunder arcana in the collection of the Airel Royal Library.
The five thunders formed instantly, and their power was comparable to that of being able to cross a large level!
Since he agreed to only use sixth-level methods, Ji Xun didn't think he could resist this spell.
One very tricky thing about Thunder Method is that not only is it extremely fast, but once it is marked by an electric charge, all spells are locked magic.
A sure hit!
"Crack. Bang!"
Almost as soon as the scouting thunder light came on, Ji Xun's figure was hit by five lightning bolts and was submerged in a sea of thunder.
The flashing lightning in this scene illuminated the dumbfounded faces.
Everyone in the Herlanders family was surprised when they saw the young master's grenade technique.
Even the eighth-level "Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin nodded secretly. Both the spell and the timing of release were already perfect.
This move is enough to become legendary.
If you resist forcefully, there are probably very few people in the sixth level who can withstand it.
He thought that Ji Xun was an eighth-level expert and he always wanted to save face. If he really had to use seventh-level means, he would still be considered defeated.
The only one who is optimistic about Ji Xun is probably Reni.
Reni looked at the figure in the flashing lightning, his eyelids twitching, thinking that he couldn't bear it.
While he was happy for his grandson, he was also worried.
After all, everyone here knows better about Ji Xun's methods.
Not to mention that this old friend is already at level eight.
Even when he first entered the sixth level, he already had legendary combat power.
Reni had seen that outrageous method with his own eyes!
This secret spell is enough to severely damage most sixth-level people, but it is impossible to defeat Ji Xun!
Sure enough!
At the moment when the lightning exploded, two figures of Ji Xun suddenly appeared in the field.
It's true that thunder spells can mark and lock, but their shortcomings are here. As long as the mark can be placed on the wrong target, it can be avoided!
Ji Xun's stand-in skill cleverly caused the clone to attract firepower, and he suddenly rushed in front of Lei Ke.
Looking at the still calm young man's face, the corners of his mouth raised in a curve.
At the same time, the spell prepared in his hand was released instantly, and he chanted softly: "The secret of thunder method. Five thunder seals·Mountain, wind, water, fire and wood!"
Ji Xun didn't have a spell card, so he couldn't cast this magic instantly, so he spent some time preparing.
In an instant, the five-color lightning spell was released and rushed towards the boy.
The five-color lightning light illuminated a shocked face. Rick was not surprised that his previous move could not determine the winner, nor was he surprised that Ji Xun would appear close to his face.
But he never expected that the other party would use the same spell as his? !
How could this guy do that?
There was no time to think about it, and a "crackling" sounded, and the five-color lightning exploded outside the eight-door barrier.
Although they were both thunder elements.
But the difference in their understanding of the law was like soil and stone were both earth elements, and the killing effect was completely different.
"Bang!"
Rick was blown back by the spell explosion.
Seeing this, the audience was stunned again.
They were just shocked by the mystery of their young master, but they were shocked by Ji Xun's replica spell.
Even the high-level card masters of the Herlandes family fell silent when they saw it.
"Forbidden Spell Master" Qiao Lin's eyes were stern, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Element Stealing. Spell Replication is such a brilliant method. He was able to condense the [Five Thunder Seal] in such a short time. This guy's attainments in thunder magic are not less than Xiao Ke's."
Someone else asked: "Is this guy a thunder card master? I remember that on the wanted list, he was not a melee Qigong master?"
Qiao Lin was an eighth-level card master after all, and he saw the mystery of the face-to-face fight more clearly than others: "No wonder he is so confident. I'm afraid it's not the thunder card master, but a polymath like a multi-system master. I'm afraid his attainments in other elemental laws are also very high. Didn't you notice that he hasn't even opened his domain yet?"
Others Asked: "You mean, he still held back?"
Qiao Lin shook his head and said solemnly: "Not holding back. I just didn't feel threatened, so I didn't open my domain. He has a very high affinity with thunder elements and can steal Xiao Ke's domain for his own use. It's not that important whether to release the domain or not."
After saying this, everyone in the Herlandes family looked solemn: "Then the young master..."
Qiao Lin sighed: "It's impossible to win. That guy is Gong Wu's disciple. He has only used spells so far, and the methods of the Qigong master have not been used yet. It depends on whether Xiao Ke can force that guy to use methods above the sixth level."
He had personally experienced Gong Wu's methods at the beginning.
Of course, it is clear that the disciples taught by that kind of teacher will definitely not have no ruthless methods in the way of Qigong.
After this, everyone's expression no longer had any luck.
Even the aura of the genius of forbidden spells that had been proud of for thousands of years was dim at this moment.
At this moment, they saw the true talent of the Eastern Wilderness monster level.
"Secret Technique·Thunderstorm!"
"Forbidden Technique·Natural Disaster Thunder Realm!"
"Secret Technique·Thunder Prison!"
"."
In the field, two voices and shadows were immediately caught in a fierce battle.
Even Ji Xun had to admit that this Lei Ke was really good.
All his moves were extremely skillful spells. Although his practical experience was a little lacking, the skills of the spells themselves made up for those shortcomings.
This guy was also very hard-working. In order to prevent himself from losing, he even used many spells that put a heavy burden on the body.
There are very few means to restrain thunder spells. Normally, this one move of his is enough to crush the same level.
However, Ji Xun has no shortcomings.
He is not only proficient in thunder spells, but also in various elemental spells and martial arts.
It is impossible to lose.
Ji Xun used the same trick many times, in fact, to give Lei Ke some pointers.
Similarly, he also gave this guy the opportunity to find his flaws.
Only when the flaws appear, the "person hiding in the dark" may take action.
In fact, Ji Xun discovered after just a few moves that although Rek looked reckless, he was actually very scheming.
After he saw that Ji Xun did not have the ability to determine the winner in a short time, he was holding back his "big move".
Ji Xun also cooperated with his performance and rarely used other spells besides thunder magic.
After the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, the lightning field around them suddenly became different.
It was a law power that was obviously higher than that of a sixth-level card master!
The previous rules only restricted Ji Xun from using methods above the seventh level, but did not restrict Rek.
What they didn't know was that this was not Ji Xun's overconfidence.
He deliberately gave these people a chance.
Otherwise, he could not imagine that he would be forced to reveal his flaws by Rek.
Now, looking at the stone with five-color spiral patterns in Rek's hand, Ji Xun's expression changed slightly, but he murmured in his heart without surprise: "Are you finally ready?"
But he was also a little surprised, because what Rek took out was actually a piece of [Element Rune Stone]?
Haha.
The foundation of the King's Four Knights family is indeed extraordinary.
Not many people in the entire plane can recognize this kind of elemental treasure, but Ji Xun can.
And by chance, he just happened to have a piece he brought out from the Moon Well.
This is a natural elemental treasure that can allow the holder to elevate his understanding and control of the elements to a higher level and release spells that do not belong to his level.
At this moment, Rick's face was pale. It was obvious that releasing this seventh-level spell was a great burden on his body. He looked at Ji Xun in front of him indifferently, and his sharp edge was revealed: "It's over"
Ji Xun looked at the lightning snakes surging around him, and frowned.
He recognized this seventh-level forbidden spell [Thunder Order Storm], which attacks indiscriminately and locks the range. It cannot be avoided.
That guy used it when he killed the Son of Heavenly Dragon.
It can be regarded as the limit of the art that Rick can master at this level.
This move is not a threat to Ji Xun. But with the blessing of [Element Rune Stone], if he wants to block it, he can only use seventh-level means or above.
Unless he risks being seriously injured, he will have to use seventh-level means whether he decomposes it or resists it.
But if he loses, it means that Ji Xun will lose those Titan machines and equipment.
He didn't intend to break the contract.
Seeing this, Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, without retreating, and a touch of madness that had not been seen for a long time appeared in his eyes.
The Qi on his body condensed into black flames, and he chose to resist it!
This scene shocked the people watching from the outside.
Although they were rivals, Forbidden Spell Master Qiao Lin could not help but frown and asked in surprise, "Isn't this guy afraid of death? He actually chose to fight head-on?"
