Cataclysm King - #353 - Chapter 353 Kill the painter and get the oil painting
Domingo, the “god of drama” opposite, looked at Ji Xun who escaped from the oil painting, and his face darkened.
The Black Knife Team failed to kill the target, but instead lost three people. There is no doubt about its strength.
And with the “defector”‘s God Hunter mecha restraining him, Domingo knew that it would be difficult to kill the two of them.
He saw his dilemma.
After all, this is an innocent city controlled by the Southern Continent.
Fighting is very risky.
If you don’t fight and evacuate immediately, the risk is also extremely high.
Once they escape, look at this posture, the other party will definitely chase them.
After leaving the barrier area, the sound of fighting can easily attract people above.
His identity as one of the “Four Knights of King Oran” is based on his military exploits, and you can imagine the trouble if it is exposed.
Domingo’s thoughts were confused.
I have never figured out why the foolproof assassination plan failed?
The two sides looked at each other like this and remained in a stalemate for a breath or two.
Suddenly, a “pop” sound was heard, and the battle began.
Ji Xun took the initiative to attack.
The ripples under his feet collapsed and disappeared on the spot.
Domingo was just wondering why the elite black knife team couldn’t kill a fifth-level person, but now he looked at the figure scattered on the spot, and he immediately understood.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and at the same time he was shocked: “So fast! How can this guy be so fast?!”
This was no longer the displacement speed he knew a fifth-level card master could achieve.
Even among the sixth level, few people can match it!
Domingo was so shocked at this moment that Ji Xun appeared one meter away with his face close to his face, a hint of teasing raised at the corner of his mouth.
His physical agility attribute was extremely high, almost at the same level as the top level.
Coupled with the qigong master’s skill in controlling qi, walking in the air is like walking on flat ground, and even the wind resistance can be ignored.
Now I have more detailed control over the “repulsive force”, and my body is less constrained by gravity.
The superposition of the three minimizes the resistance that affects displacement.
Of course the speed is extremely fast!
When Ji Xun first mastered the trick of repulsion, even Ji Xun himself was surprised by his exaggerated speed.
This is also the greatest confidence for him to test the strength of the legendary card master.
This speed will definitely crush a puppet master, even if he is a legend!
Judging from the current intelligence, as long as you don’t make mistakes, it is impossible for the other party to catch you.
“Bang!”
Ji Xun punched Domingo’s shield.
Previously at the Shenxu Treasure House, Gong Wu personally demonstrated the correct way to deal with the puppet master.
Don’t pay attention to any fancy puppets, just chase the opponent’s body and hammer hard.
However, his methods were far inferior to Gong Wu’s, and he was still far from being able to make the opponent escape and save his life with just one punch.
The strange tearing force triggered by [Ba Fist·Earth Cry] violently poured into the curse shield. Domingo’s expression instantly became serious, and he whispered in his heart: “This is the law of natural disaster?”
He originally didn’t take Ji Xuntai in front of him seriously.
After all, the level gap is here, even if you don’t use a puppet, the opponent’s attack will hardly cause substantial damage to it.
But with this punch, his energy and blood surged?
With just this punch, Domingo knew how the other three members of the Black Knife Team died.
The natural disaster magical power that can almost ignore the defense, among the same level, I am afraid it is difficult for anyone to succeed.
But this is just the beginning.
Ji Xun was struck by this punch, and in a blink of an eye, the figures in his field of vision collapsed on the spot and disappeared.
Back of the head, heart, flanks, tail vertebrae.
The fists were like a violent storm, pouring out from all angles of the mantra shield, causing the nearby space to become distorted.
Domingo also used spells to fight back many times, but Ji Xun’s speed was so fast that even the puppet’s fastest poisonous needle could be avoided.
Not only is he fast, but the most important thing is his terrifying ability to predict.
After a while, Domingo discovered this big problem.
No matter what feints or schemes you have, the other party can always see through them in advance.
Even most of the time, the opponent controls the rhythm of the battle.
Often after throwing a punch, no matter what kind of response he makes, it seems to be expected by the opponent.
Only then did he realize that the opponent he faced was a guy who had almost absolutely calm thinking in battle.
This absolute ability to control the rhythm of the battle also prevented the opponent from making any mistakes.
There were no mistakes, and with that outrageous speed, even Domingo, a legend, felt helpless when he looked at it.
When the battle started, they immediately entered the most intense head-to-head combat.
“So the legend is so powerful”
Ji Xun was playing against Legend for the first time, and the more he played, the more excited he became.
There is no such opportunity on weekdays.
But he is also very self-aware and does not feel that it is his own strength that can force this legend to do nothing.
Now he has the opportunity to get close and face-mounted to output, entirely because most of this legend’s energy and combat power are consumed by controlling Dong Qi’s hunting god armor in the distance.
But this was Ji Xun’s plan.
He tried it just now, and it was exactly as expected. The legendary card master’s law understanding was much stronger than that of the sixth level.
It was a kind of situation where Ji Xun couldn’t break the gap in the opponent’s field in a short period of time even if he used his full output.
But Ji Xun is not fighting alone.
His own attacks are like “scraping” against the Legend, but that’s not the case with the Hunter God Armor.
As long as Dong Qi is freed up, the situation of the battle will be reversed immediately.
All the plans in Ji Xun’s mind at the moment revolve around this goal.
And this is underground in Innocence City.
The longer it takes, the worse it will be for Domingo.
Therefore, dragging it out is Ji Xun’s goal.
It always leaves the enemy exposed.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“.”
Ji Xun frequently provoked and dealt damage around Domingo, but the opponent did not fight back.
Poisonous smoke, flying needles, nooses, mechanical knives, and various elemental spells.
The six wooden puppets with creaking jaws came out every other week.
Including Domingo and the painter Pablo, Ji Xun is now one against eight, surrounded by many dangers.
But as long as he didn’t die suddenly on the spot, he would be able to recover immediately.
As he said, it would be very difficult for him to fall into death with the means he had seen before.
The six puppets controlled by Domingo at the moment are the famous dark gold puppet group – [Six People of Walnut].
Although not many people have actually been seen alive, Ji Xun happened to have met him twice.
Whether it was the attack methods or abilities of the puppet, he kept them firmly in mind.
And the puppet’s abilities are “fixed.”
This makes it easier to predict.
Adding to the deduction of “I am the world”, no matter what the puppet means, it will not exceed his expectations.
Most importantly, puppets have a very obvious shortcoming.
That is “skill forward swing”.
The puppet master needs to control the puppet’s joints through physical threads or mental threads, and then make it act.
Just like shooting a gun, you need your finger to pull the trigger before it fires.
This kind of control mode with obvious intervals is a fatal shortcoming in the field of high-level card masters.
The “forward swing” of the skill is too long and it is easy to predict.
The reason why Domingo is invincible is because his career sequence can control a large number of puppets at the same time.
Multiple puppets cooperate with each other, and their quantity makes up for this shortcoming.
Under normal circumstances, Domingo can control hundreds of puppets at the same time.
This gives him the power to fight even if he faces an army.
Unfortunately, there are only six of them now.
For Ji Xun, the six objects were completely within the scope of mental calculation.
With his current speed, he has predicted the forward swing of the puppet’s skill, so it is not too difficult to avoid it.
As long as you don’t make mistakes on your own initiative, it’s impossible to fall for it.
It is precisely because Domingo is a puppet master that his physical ability is not ridiculously strong.
Only Ji Xun dared to try.
Otherwise, if it were the methods of the other three King’s Four Knights, he would definitely choose to run away as soon as he saw it.
But then again, if the other three encountered Dong Qi’s Hunter God Armor, it would be impossible to control them in place.
It’s hard to say who is stronger among the four knights. There are fifty-two professional sequences, each with its own strengths.
The battle reached a stalemate.
Domingo also discovered that his six puppets were completely powerless against the other party.
Although some methods hurt the opponent, as long as they did not die suddenly on the spot, the opponent would be able to recover immediately.
And the most outrageous thing is that any method used is completely useless the second time.
At this moment, Domingo also understood the helplessness of the previous painter Pablo.
Facing this kind of opponent who can heal infinitely and has absolutely no flaws or shortcomings, there is really no chance unless he is killed in a crushing manner.
Domingo also saw that the opponent in front of him had an almost crazy obsession with being able to fight him.
It seems like he can challenge his own legend and give him the enthusiasm to live without regrets even if he dies.
Domingo has encountered various opponents in his life.
But this is the only one who is still alive with such a lively expression in front of him.
In any other place, Domingo would never be able to let such a potential enemy leave.
But right now, he feels a little helpless.
Domingo felt right.
On the other side, Ji Xun has fallen into a fighting state full of passion.
Being able to fight against the legendary card master put his brain and body into a state of overload.
But even this state made his thoughts extremely clear.
In his previous fight with the four-man killer team, there were only two moments of death that gave him that scalp-numbing excitement.
But in front of Domingo, Ji Xun always felt like he was walking on the edge of a knife, living with one step and dying with the other.
The slightest mistake will lead to death.
To others, this state would probably make them break out in cold sweats, but for Ji Xun, it was the best stimulant.
With the blessing of the magic solution state, the world in his eyes was extremely clear at this moment.
Every movement of the enemy is reproduced in his mind like a video.
Domain, law, technique, spell.
The supernatural mystery is unveiled in the eyes, and the truth is before our eyes.
Ji Xun’s brain was like a sponge absorbing water at this moment, rapidly absorbing the knowledge that he had never mastered.
Combat is like the best catalyst, turning this learning efficiency into enlightenment.
Just by looking at it, I learned a lot.
Enlightenment is also flashing rapidly.
“You comprehended the ‘Secret Art of Magic – Ten Finger Threads’ during the battle, and your skill experience +29”
“When you observe the ‘Kuri Six People: Insidious Combat Technique’ during the battle, your puppet control proficiency will be +33.”
“You understand the secret of the ‘Field·Puppet Theater’ during the battle, and your Domain Understanding +8”
“You had an epiphany during the battle and captured some of the mysteries of the ‘Senji Puppet God Sect'”
“.”
The most important reason why Ji Xun wanted to fight Domingo head-on was that he was curious, how could this guy control so many puppets while being distracted? !
Domingo’s lineage of [magicians] is a secret from the palace, and no one outside knows what’s going on.
At this moment, the secret of this professional sequence is hidden in every move of the group of control puppets.
The more I fight, the clearer it becomes.
Finally, Ji Xun saw some clues, but some other thoughts came to his mind: “How do I feel that the magician sequence is a good advancement choice in terms of ability and professional means?”
He suddenly felt that for his sixth-level career choice, this magician sequence was ideal?
Multitasking + mental power + understanding of multiple laws
Apart from being physically weaker, he has almost no shortcomings.
And Ji Xun’s current physical body is strong enough.
Instead, he needs a lot of mental improvement to master the magical mysteries that he is learning more and more.
Based on his previous understanding of the sequence [7 of Hearts – Magician], this sequence of professional cards itself has a clear direction of improving the rare ability of “multitasking”.
For Ji Xun’s current situation, this even takes priority over other ability improvements.
Integrating this sequence of professional cards will not only increase learning ability as expected.
Ji Xun also has an idea that has never been proven.
That is, with [Shadow Trick], can it achieve the theoretical picture of Domingo controlling hundreds of puppets, and himself being able to control hundreds of shadows?
Even if not, just a few more shadows would be a qualitative leap for Ji Xun.
The thought disappeared in a flash.
The premise of everything is that he can get this secret sequence of the Oran Royal Court.
During the fierce battle, Ji Xun looked at Domingo in front of him, and the corners of his mouth raised a little higher.
It’s not easy to kill this guy.
A magician can multi-task, and his thinking is so meticulous that Ji Xun didn’t find any flaws.
At least those small flaws are not enough to put the other party in danger.
However, this guy also has a teammate.
After Ji Xun tried some, he set his sights on the painter Pablo.
As time goes by, the sense of oppression brought about by fierce fighting will have an increasingly negative impact on people’s judgment.
Finally, the opportunity came.
No matter who you are, there will be more or less “coping inertia” in the battle.
Just like boxers in the boxing ring, their evasive behavior is often not controlled by the brain’s active consciousness.
It’s the instinct of body consciousness, using muscle memory to dodge.
That is the instinct and subconsciousness of the human body, which takes precedence over active consciousness.
Once this inertia is observed, the target’s response can be predicted.
However, the more advanced a card player is, the more cautious he is about this kind of inertial shortcoming.
To observe the subtle flaws requires a huge amount of calculations and keen observation skills.
As it happens, Ji Xun has it all.
After fighting for so long, he also discovered that the painter Pablo had an obvious fighting inertia.
Once attacked by a blind spot in the field of vision, that guy will most likely use an instant [Lava Barrier] spell card to ensure his own safety. But when using this spell, there will be obvious intermittent stagnation in the concentration of spell power. The near-absolute full-body coverage will also cause it to lose its vision and ability to move.
When Ji Xun saw this, his plan instantly came into being.
Suddenly at a certain moment, he yelled at the communicator: “One second later! At seven o’clock, self-destruct the No. 2 energy module, rush!”
“good!”
Dong Qi didn’t see any of these tricks at all, but she absolutely believed in Ji Xun in her heart.
Just as the exchange ended, Ji Xun suddenly appeared behind the painter and punched with both hands: “Yu Liu Waterfall!”
The high-pressure airflow formed a waterfall-like oppressive and explosive sound, which shocked people’s hearts.
At this moment, the painter was holding a piece of [Painting the Ground as a Prison] at the node where the group control spell was being released. He suddenly felt the murderous intention on his back and was horrified in his heart.
Almost instinctively, he took out a [Lava Barrier] card with his backhand and released it.
The strong air flow instantly hit the barrier, and he flew out like a cannonball.
The stiffness of his body caused by the spell prevented him from flying out of the trajectory, but he didn’t expect to hit Domingo who was not far away.
Originally, this kind of collision did no harm at all, but the group control card [Drawing the Ground as a Prison] in the artist’s hand was just released.
Seeing this, Domingo’s thoughts also came to his senses, and the sudden change in his eyes seemed to say two words: Not good!
Ji Xun was missing a big step, so the spell had little impact.
But this painter, Pablo, is at the sixth level.
The indiscriminate group control spell was irreversible, and when it was released, the puppets and fields around Domingo stagnated.
Before the shocked expressions appeared on the faces of the two enemies, there was a violent “bang” explosion not far away. The Hunter God Armor had already self-destructed the boiler, and took advantage of that moment of opportunity to rush out.
At seven o’clock, he hit the painter’s side, whose body was still covered in a thick shield.
At this moment, Dong Qi completely understood Ji Xun’s plan. The gravity field instantly group controlled everyone and puppets within the range. The enemy’s heads were brought to the knife’s edge. The melt knife in her hand almost hit the painter’s shield with a single slash. .
“Wow~”
The shield was cut open.
The painter Pablo wanted to get away and retreat, but the gravitational field caused his body to stagnate, and he was stabbed firmly.
Ji Xun said again: “T5 rockets! Launch them directly!”
Dong Qi listened and didn’t aim at all. He raised his hand and pressed the launch button of the rocket.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” several rockets shot out quickly and hit somewhere in the underground space.
Domingo’s expression changed. When he saw the position where the rocket landed, he already understood that the other party had seen through the key node of this silk thread to control the field!
“Bang!”
A series of explosions exploded.
The six-pointed star barrier in the sky that had been shining suddenly dimmed.
Domingo looked extremely gloomy.
Because at this time, he completely lost control of the Hunter God Armor.
If he wants to condense such a large-scale control barrier again, it is impossible for the other party to give him this opportunity.
Dong Qi controlled the mecha and struck twice again, killing the painter who was already seriously injured.
Domingo withdrew violently and looked at him coldly, not wanting to help and unable to do so.
He knew the properties of the Hunter God Armor very well. Once he got out of trouble, he couldn’t stop it at all.
Ji Xun also swooped over and grabbed the oil painting [Monet’s Sunrise] next to the corpse.
He didn’t want someone to use a catastrophic object to control him for the fourth time.
And this relic is of great use to him now.
The situation seemed to suddenly improve.
With Dong Qi out of trouble, even if Domingo wants to control the Hunter God Armor again, the chance is slim.
Ji Xun felt that if he were that guy, he would definitely choose to run away.
However, seeing the other party’s indifferent expression, Ji Xun suddenly realized something was wrong: This guy still didn’t run away?
“Reinforcements!”
As soon as his thoughts changed, he immediately thought of something, and quietly injected a [Powerful Sobriety Potion] into his arm.
Not long after, Enlightenment appeared: “You are immune to the silver moon illusion ‘The Fall of the King’.”
When Ji Xun saw this, he realized that enemy reinforcements were coming.
However, this situation will not be reinforcements in the normal sense.
Before the person arrived, Ji Xun had already guessed the identity of the person coming, and thought to himself: “Tsk, tsk. Is it Princess Betty from the Black Dragon Kingdom?”
The person who can provide immediate support in Innocence City, who dares to come here, and who knows the Silver Moon Secret Technique, is most likely this person.
