Cataclysm King

Chapter 371 Special rules in the carriage

 “Bang!”

 Shadows dispersed.

  002 In the private room, Ji Xun slammed the door.

 In just a moment, a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead.

Qin Ru looked at his solemn expression and immediately asked alertly: "What's wrong?"

Hearing this, the luster in Ji Xun's black eyes slightly dissipated, and he responded in a deep voice: "My shadow was killed."

 He tried his best to remember what had killed his shadow just now.

 But the attack came too fast and strangely, and it was killed instantly without giving Shadow any time to react.

 The attacker's strength is very strong.

 The movement is very strange.

The golden mantra surged all over her body instantly, and she was about to enter the battle mode where the gods descended from the earth.

 She wasn't even sure. Wouldn't it be more dangerous for Ji Xun to go out?

Qin Rushi's brows were inadvertently knitted together, his eyes were focused and sharp, and there was a hint of struggle.

He was also unwilling to let Ji Xun attract the firepower of those monsters.

As soon as Qin Ru heard this, his eyes were full of stern expression.

Ji Xun felt that those hidden contents were their biggest reliance on getting out of the car alive.

Without further ado, Ji Xun made a decision without any hesitation and opened the door.

"What?!"

Furthermore, his intuition told him that he would be dead if he stayed in the room.

In an instant, it was as if the door to **** had been opened, and a terrifying and cold breath poured in from the crack in the door.

I want to say something more, but I don’t know how to say it.

The only clue comes from the notes, and I know that the mysterious murderer is the one who can kill the two heads of the Bai family.

After thinking about it for a moment, she understood why Ji Xun said this.

Ji Xun deduced all the known clues so far, and the results were very bad.

Ji Xun shook his head. He didn't have time to explain more, and just said: "At present, it seems that the only hope of breaking the situation lies in this notebook."

 So even if Qin Rushi has reached the seventh level, there is no certainty that he can fight head-on.

Ji Xun felt that the biggest difference between the two of them and the previous people who entered this box was that they held the [God Thief's Ring], the token of the head of the Bai family, and Qin Rushi's rank.

Now the two of them seem to have only one choice.

 No movement could be heard outside the door, but it was this eerie silence that made the two of them feel that the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

As soon as I said it, I seemed to feel that something was wrong.

 Especially in a special environment like a ghost train.

 Having that kind of strength is definitely not something that ordinary legendary level combat power can achieve.

 After a pause, Ji Xun continued: "It's already past midnight, and our perception has been misled. The special-grade wraith in the private room next door has come out."

However, this feeling of not knowing anything about the enemy made neither of them feel confident.

No matter who is in this situation, if you really think of no other solution, the outcome will probably be the same.

At this time, he didn't know what he thought of. He glanced at the room with his peripheral vision, and suddenly made an incredible decision. He said decisively: "Aunt Qin, I will go out and hold them back."

The last three heads of the Bai family must have tried fighting, but the result was that two were killed and one was seriously injured.

Qin Ru was shocked when he heard this: "You want to go out?"

 If she had a choice, she would rather go by herself.

Now that the "mysterious monster" has appeared, the situation of the two people has suddenly become critical.

Ji Xun's eyes trembled frequently, and countless thoughts were rapidly deduced in his mind.

The "mysterious being" outside seems to be very interested in the two living people in the house.

Qin Ru was shocked when he heard this.

　　　I didn’t give myself a chance to say anything more. The door had already cut off everything.

 That is a frontal battle.

Before they could break in, Ji Xun's figure had already escaped from the crack of the door, and then with a click, the door was locked again.

His last reminder echoed in the room: "I probably won't die in a short time. Be careful."

Judging from the contents of the notes, meeting the two specific conditions of the seventh level and the ring can trigger certain hidden contents left in the notes by the ancestors of the Bai family.

Qin Ru was hesitant as he listened.

"But."

Their eyes were fixed on the door, as if a monster would rush in at the next moment.

Now that the matter has come to this, Qin Rushi also knows that his task is urgent.

 She picked up the notebook and read it carefully.

Qin Ruzhu knew that Ji Xun had a lot of knowledge in the secret method of "I am the World". If he could make this decision, he must have made the best choice for the current situation of the two of them.

 Thoughts that converged in a moment.

 Qin Rushi's eyes quickly wandered over the notes.

 There was an indescribable sense of oppression in the air.

 But in this situation where she would face death if she didn't break the situation, she didn't know where to find a sense of peace of mind.

 At this moment, Qin Rushi's mind could not help but think of Ji Xun's panic-stricken expression from the beginning to the end.

Looking back, after knowing each other for such a long time, it seems like this happens every time.

Even though his strength is not as good as his own, he always gives people a very reliable feeling.

has also come step by step to the present.

 It seems that the guy said that if he wants to hold back the undead souls outside, he will definitely be able to hold them back.

Thoughts flashed.

 Qin Rushi flipped through the notes with serious eyes, and that inexplicable sense of relief gave his mind time to think carefully about the conversation just now.

Suddenly she seemed to have discovered something, and her heart thumped: "Eh"

Thinking about it now, she found that Ji Xun's last sentence was "I probably won't die in a short time. Be careful."

 The tone is obviously broken.

　　has two meanings.

 Others may not be able to tell the difference.

 But as an old friend with a tacit understanding, Qin Rushi immediately realized something was wrong.

There is clearly a mysterious monster in this special-class box that he is afraid of, so why is he so confident that he can't die?

 Also, what did he remind me to be careful about?

Qin Rushu knew that Ji Xun must have considered something deeper than what he didn't see.

 Think along this line of thinking.

It’s scary to think about it carefully.

 Why can’t you just say it?

 Could it be that you have some concerns?

can not say.

 Are you afraid of being noticed by someone?

 Suddenly, Qin Rushi felt as if he had captured some key information.

Except for two people, there is only a mirror in this room.

Thinking of this, Qin Ru vaguely guessed what Ji Xun wanted her to find.

 At this time, the [God-Stealing Ring] on the finger seemed to echo some of the prohibitions on the note.

  Qin Rushi obtained permissions that the Bai family had not obtained for three thousand years.

 Some secrets hidden on the white paper that have been hidden for thousands of years suddenly come into view.

Qin Ru didn't dare to delay at all, and her eyes quickly searched for the ancient secrets that made her stunned.

 On the other side, Ji Xun walked out of the box.

The moment the door closed, I felt like I had entered the underworld, and the cold feeling that made people shiver suddenly hit my heart.

 There were wisps of cold white smoke on the ground of the carriage, and the original orange light turned into a turquoise like a will-o'-the-wisp.

It was obvious that he had one foot in the coffin, but there was no trace of fear on Ji Xun's face.

Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said to himself: "Is it the breath of the underworld?"

I have seen the door to the underworld opening in Shangbang Prison before.

 When I see this scene again now, it is not strange, but rather familiar and cordial.

 He likes this feeling of being infinitely close to death.

It was deathly silent and desolate, like an empty cemetery, and the chill in the air was like the mournful cry of the dead.

Ji Xun came out ready to face those mysterious existences.

 At this moment, his state of mind was extremely calm.

 Don’t wander around either.

 He just sat leisurely on the retractable stool hanging on the wall of the train corridor.

Looking around.

 The shadow was not clear enough just now, now it is time to take a closer look.

I don’t know whether it was because he was too calm as a living person, or because of other reasons, but the neighbors in the next room were not in a hurry to show their faces.

 The room 001 next door is still closed.

   003, 004, and 007, who was reminded by the conductor of the origin of the [Black Devil], looked over one by one.

Ji Xun’s physical body’s perception is much stronger than that of the shadow.

 In his eyes, black threads spilled out from the gaps in the rooms.

This is countless negative emotions mixed with evil mental pollution.

Ji Xun just sat there, feeling as if his soul was about to be pulled out of his body.

　　Enlightenment also constantly prompts soul pollution.

 Fortunately, the clown mask is immune to most mysterious corruptions.

While observing, room 003 next door clicked open.

Looking closely, a noble lady who was three meters tall and wearing a huge wide-brimmed hat came out. Its skin is blue, exuding a translucent light, and its whole body exudes a cold aura of the necromantic system.

 Because it was too high, the top of my head almost reached the top of the carriage.

 This is an evil spirit with a very powerful aura.

Looking at the other party's slightly curious eyes, Ji Xun stood up, saluted like a gentleman, and proactively greeted: "Hello, beautiful lady."

The female ghost seemed to have no ill intentions, and seemed to be surprised to see a living person. She responded with a playful smile on her lips.

It sat on the stool at the door of the room and said no more.

Like a prisoner who comes out of prison every now and then. As soon as this person comes out, there is movement in the room.

At this moment, a kobold wearing a suit with six heads on his neck came out of room 004.

Room 005 is a tree man with a head full of dead branches, room 006 is a stinky mud monster, room 008 is a flame ghost, and room 009 is a bunch of slimy tentacles.

 Not long after, nine powerful undead spirits appeared one after another in the corridor.

 Not all are humanoid.

But rather strangely shaped.

Several kinds of undead spirits that Ji Xun had only heard of in classics and legends.

 He was curious in his heart, but his expression was scrutinizing as usual.

But after waiting for a moment, there was no movement in the 007 room that he had been paying attention to.

The door of 001 is also closed. I don’t know if there is anyone there.

These undead spirits that appeared sat quietly in their own places, as if they had a tacit understanding formed over thousands of years.

They seemed to have completely turned a deaf ear to the presence of a living person in the carriage.

 The atmosphere is extremely weird.

However, from Ji Xun's point of view, it's not that they are not interested in him, but that they probably haven't decided who should take the first bite of the "cake" on the dinner plate.

Moreover, after decades of hard work, such a living person has finally arrived, and the resentful spirits probably did not expect to end this cat and mouse game so quickly.

 The undead did not move, and neither did Ji Xun.

 He was just like an ordinary passenger, sitting very calmly.

 If he delays for some time here, Qin Rushi will have more time over there.

However, Ji Xun was slightly confused as he looked at it.

Although these undead spirits are different from each other, why do they all exude the same black thread?

 Thinking.

Before he could think about it, ash like snow flakes floated in the air.

 Probably because some mental illusions didn't work, and a certain undead couldn't wait any longer.

 A fierce murderous intent quietly appeared around him.

"coming!"

Ji Xun's eyes flashed, and his right hand instantly turned into a bronze color and was placed on his neck.

The next moment, the harsh sound of metal cutting was heard.

 A steel claw sliced ​​smoothly through his neck without warning.

 Fortunately, it was blocked by the palm filled with domineering energy, and the sharp blade only cut off half of the finger, so it was not fatal.

 The wound has recovered as before before the warm blood is left.

Ji Xun felt that this method was familiar, and he immediately thought of something: "It's the guy who killed Shadow just now!"

Now that he had taken action, he punched him out without any hesitation.

With a "boom" sound, the void was shattered.

Ji Xun didn't dodge just now, except that time was too tight, and the better choice was because he could test the enemy's strength at close range.

Hunted almost to the face, one punch of [Earth Crying] is enough to inflict serious injuries on any opponent below the level of Legend.

However, what surprised Ji Xun was that the black image in front of him was cracked like a mirror.

 In the blink of an eye, the guy was like a beaten shadow in the water, restored to its original appearance.

"Huh?"

Ji Xun’s eyes narrowed as he looked at it, and he immediately thought of something.

  Is it the exclusive magical magic of the [Plum Blossom 2-Assassin] sequence - "Virtual Flash"?

 The ceiling ability of dark abilities is a body technique that is more difficult to understand than the elemental body.

 At a glance, not far away, a guy wearing a top hat and a tuxedo, with scissor claws on his hands, slowly condensed into shape.

The mist-like ghost eyes stared at Ji Xun suspiciously.

He seemed to be surprised that his claw did not kill this human being.

As soon as this guy moved his hand, he saw the name above his head - "Edward Scissorhands".

Ji Xun didn't dare to be careless. The clown's silhouette appeared behind him, his bones and muscles clicked, and his body suddenly rose up, transforming into a three-headed dragon-scaled hellfire demon.

Just after he entered the strongest fighting state, for some reason, all the undead people looked sideways, as if they were extremely surprised.

Not only were they surprised, Ji Xun also vaguely guessed something when he saw the changes in the expressions of these resentful spirits.

 Obviously, the expressions on these guys' faces were not that of surprise to Ji Xun himself.

 It is the clown demon shown behind him.

That expression seemed to tell Ji Xun: they had seen this demon god.

Ji Xun doesn’t think it’s such a coincidence. Very few people know his [JOKER] sequence, let alone recognize it.

 “Tsk, that’s interesting”

 Another piece of the puzzle popped up in Ji Xun's mind, and that was the forbidden magic weapon [Black Magic] that he had just obtained.

He didn’t think it was such a coincidence that such a special relic would appear in the carriage of an evil spirit who seemed to know [JOKER] at the same time.

However, there were not enough clues, and Ji Xun could not figure out the exact relationship between the two.

 On the contrary, my situation is very bad.

Ji Xun looked at Edward Scissorhands and thought in his mind: "The combat power he displayed did not exceed the seventh level, but his understanding of the laws was very high. I wonder why this is happening?"

 At the moment of the fight, he confirmed the strength of the undead.

 It is indeed very strong, but definitely not at level seven.

 It’s not even the sixth level.

 What is surprising is that his understanding of the law is very high.

 It was so high that it could easily cut through Ji Xun's invincible domineering body aura.

It feels like Gong Wu before he advanced. In terms of rank, he is still a legend.

 In terms of combat power, Gong Wu is much stronger than other legends.

 This is the difference in realm.

The fighting prowess displayed by Edward Scissorhands in front of him gave him this feeling.

However, there are not so many palace warriors in this world.

 There must be other reasons for this phenomenon.

With thoughts racing in his mind, Ji Xun thought of the time rules of the last time he took the train, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be the 'train rules'?"

 Instinct told him that this guy might be restricted by some kind of rules, and it could only show so much combat power.

 After all, this [Neon] Nether Train is a rule-based disaster with no known rank.

Since the undead are on the train, there is a high probability that they will not be of a higher grade than the train itself, so certain rules must be followed.

The train conductor who can walk freely everywhere is the best proof.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun suddenly grinned: "You'll know after you try it."

 If it is really what he guessed, it seems that things are not that bad.

 Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the figure of Scissorhands disappeared on the spot again.

 "铿", "铿", "铿".

The carriage was filled with fire and the sharp sound of metal could be heard.

 The two sides fought for four or five rounds in a very short period of time.

 At this time, the two figures that touched extremely quickly separated again.

Five **** incisions were made in the chest, and Ji Xun, whose beating heart could be faintly seen, was forced into a corner in embarrassment.

 The Immortality Curse quickly heals the wounds on the body.

Although he was seriously injured in the confrontation just now, a smile of realization appeared on his face at this moment: "As expected."

 This is good news for him.

 It’s not because Edward Scissorhands is not strong enough.

It is precisely because the undead obviously only showed the strength of the fifth level, but it was so strong that it even threatened Ji Xun, who was almost invincible at the same level, as a fatal threat.

 Then this is a big problem!

The special undead spirit that was able to kill the two heads of the Bai family failed to kill himself, which directly confirmed his previous conjecture.

 That is, the spirits on this train cannot use strength that exceeds the level of their human opponents!

 This is the rule on the [neon] train.

 Just like "no smoking", it is a rule that all passengers must abide by!

Ji Xun didn't know what happened to the undead souls in the special carriage.

 But he knew that in a sense, this train was the place where the Bai family inherited the test.

If there are special rules, then they must have been set by the ancestors of the Bai family!

Thinking along this line of thinking, it is not difficult for Ji Xun to guess that these special undead souls should once have been a place where certain talented descendants of the Bai family were tested.

 So, everything makes sense.

It is not that the same legendary card master can survive in the hands of Gong Wu.

Similarly, not all card masters of the same level can survive under the hands of these special-level undead who once had no idea of ​​their level.

Ji Xun is now basically certain that due to the rules, as long as the undead in front of him face him, the combat power they can unleash is only "special fifth level"!

 If this is true as he speculated, this would be a great benefit.

Although one [Edward Scissorhands] is already in danger, Ji Xun doesn't think how long he can resist if a few more come.

 But at least he was not killed instantly by an overwhelming force.

Then he can delay it longer!

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was also glad that he was not in the room with Qin Rushi.

 Otherwise, those who broke in just now might be a group of "special seventh level" undead.

That is really a dead end.
