Cataclysm King

Chapter 213 Poker Game·Snow White
"Who is this person?"

"There is 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."

"."

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

The one who can display "field" must be a legendary card master.

Among the Thirteen Knights, there is 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 lot of background.

Suddenly the situation became unpredictable.

Originally, Ji Xun had speculated that the people behind the Lionheart Family might not have planned to severely inflict heavy losses on the Oran survivors and also make both the Thirteen Kamen Riders organization suffer.

But now he looked at Catalina's equally surprised eyes and realized that she, the organizer, 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, realized that something was wrong.

The battles between legendary strong men often destroyed 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 were tit for tat with many powerful auras, and this pressure was simply not something that low-level card masters could withstand.

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

Even Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly when he felt the needle-like sharpness.

If a fight really started 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 didn't seem to want to hurt 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 brighter and brighter. He chanted softly: "Poker Game·Snow White."

Dark money poker collapsed on the spot.

A magical scene took place.

The sensory world around me, like an abstract oil painting, 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 squares on it.

Isn't this a casino card table?

After taking a closer look, 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 were forcibly changed.

However, this is only 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 what he heard correctly just now 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-player poker game on the market.

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

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

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

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

In the end the princess versus the queen.

It's a matter of life and death.

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

When Ji Xun saw this, his expression became subtle.

Because 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 answering a bet?
"How can this be done?"

Ji Xun doesn't think this is a coincidence.

It seems that this story corresponds to some kind of rules.

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

Ji Xun didn't hesitate either.

Putting 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?"

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

The situation suddenly improved.

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

And even if they were killed, there would definitely be damage to the Thirteen Knights in the melee.

Not necessarily worth it.

However, seeing this spell to forcefully change the rules of combat completely solved this problem.

The enemy must play by the rules of the game he sets.

The melon-eating people watching were also relieved.

It doesn't look like it will be affected.

As for why he came here, Ji Xun also figured out that this rule was probably customized for Chujiu.

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 "field" in the classics before.

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

That kind of control is called "domain".

But that realm is too ethereal, and low-level card masters can't 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 said in surprise: "Don't know?"

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

"No solution" has explained this problem.

Ji Xun didn't hesitate much after hearing this.

But looking at this ability to change the rules, he felt even weirder: "It's not really that mushroom head, is it?"

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 like maybe this guy changed some rules?

The situation suddenly changed in this strange 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 gaming table with a livid face.

She felt deeply humiliated.

Do these guys, the Thirteen Kamen Riders, really think they will win?
"Humph!"

Catherine snorted coldly.

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

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

Others saw it in confusion, but she knew the essence of the spell very well.

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

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!

Moreover, 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 game begins.

Chujiu didn't hesitate and gently opened the round of cards in front of him.

The colored 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 field, Catherine's expression was expressionless and she thought to herself: "Do you want to show me this?"

She also clicked on a card.

Why didn't she see that although this "blind man" had special abilities after being solved, he was still only at level five?

The colorful cards collapsed, and the "Golden Lion" Carlo suddenly appeared.

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

After all, Carlo is a genuine four-star federal general, very powerful.

Although 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.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom".
The battle between the top strong men is very fierce.

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

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

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

Seeing this scene, Ji Xun and the melon-eating crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, everyone was amazed.

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

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

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

The cards collapsed, and Rem, the "Night Bearer" holding a dagger, appeared on the gambling table.

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

This one is on the field, 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 lose, you will lose your luck.

Every piece 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.

He had taken action just now, and everyone knew which legendary earth card master this was.

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

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, although it is Warlock vs. Ranger, there are certain professional restraints.

But there was 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, took advantage of the two opportunities to play cards first.

Now it was Queen Catherine's turn to take the lead.

As soon as the order of playing cards was reversed, the situation suddenly became subtle.

Because everyone knows that the "Princess" has a big name who doesn't know how strong it is - "Light Chaser".

This will test the player's skills.

But another problem is that there are only four people from the Thirteen Knights who showed up.

A princess and three knights.

But the rules are those of the Four Horsemen.

Two knight cards were played, and the only known knight card left was "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.

Among the opponent's two cards, there must be a famous "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 his hand, the opponent's remaining "hidden card" should not be strong.

Go first and show your low card.

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

If the opponent doesn't come out, 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 scattered, a total of 30 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?"

"."

There was no shortage of guests in the banquet hall who were proficient in this gambling method. When they saw the cards, they immediately guessed something.In the corner, Ji Xun looked stunned.

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

But when Queen Catherine made a "straight" move,
Only then did he realize that the "dark card" might be different from what he expected.

He won't act like the top-level powerhouse he was just now.

Rather, it is an existence whose level is not too high.

No-name brand?

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

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

Including yourself.

Coincidentally, he knew Chujiu very well and were good friends.

Others didn't know that Ji Xun was here, but Chujiu must know.

"Hehe. It can't really be me, right?"

Ji Xun grinned when he thought of this.

More self-deprecating.

Am I a no-name?

Hahaha.
This countertop can be considered a high-end brand, and it seems to be pretty good.

A tacit understanding came over me.

He felt that the old friend would do this.

Besides, I am also looking forward to it.

This kind of big scene has been eager to try for a long time.

I felt like I couldn’t get involved before.

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

As soon as I thought about it, I couldn't hold back my fighting spirit.

The clown's destiny is to dance on the stage.
Even dying on stage 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.

But no matter what, being able to personally participate in this level of wrestling is an exciting experience.

Catalina 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?"

Only then did she realize 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.

Maybe we really know each other.

"hey-hey."

Ji Xun tilted his head and smiled.

Already responded.

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

The heart has a feeling.

At nine o'clock in the morning, 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.

Catalina 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."

"Joker? I think you've seen him somewhere recently?"

"."

The melon-eaters watched a stranger wearing a clown mask appear on the gambling table, and they immediately started whispering.

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

Who is he?

Why send him out?

What ability does this person have?
Questions linger in everyone's mind.

Ji Xun stood at the gambling table, standing proudly.

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

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

Suddenly became the focus of the audience.

this moment.

As if possessed by a demon, his body twitched slightly strangely, but instead of fear and cowardice, he was sobbing excitedly.

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, and anxious, but also has a strong desire to express myself.
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 become extremely calm.

He felt the intense heat from those longing eyes.

These audiences are also looking forward to a wonderful performance.

And Ji Xun never disappoints on stage.

Hahaha. That’s the feeling.

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

"It's time to dance"

Ji Xun's exaggerated grin made Scarlet's mouth twitch 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.

It was an edge that could not be concealed even under the halo of top powerhouses.

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

Did they see the elegance and extreme gentlemanliness underneath that calmness?

No one can understand it.
How can weirdness 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 gambling table, everyone suddenly saw the phantom image of a demon behind him.

The clown looked at everyone and grinned brightly.

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

For a moment, an indescribable strange feeling suddenly hit everyone's heart.

"Look at that demon phantom! It's the S wanted criminal!"

"."

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.

I immediately clicked into place.

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 anticipation is building.

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 "hidden card" disrupted her original plan.

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

In the fourth game, no matter who goes, they can't win.

I’m still anxious about the first and second rounds.

It seems that the only variable is the third round.

But if I read it correctly, this clown man is not even at the third level?
How could the rules of the game make the power of "this card" equal to that of a reorganized escort corps?
Not only the queen 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 about it.

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 assassinated, officials had already linked him to that organization.

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

At worst, just add a little more bounty.

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

He kicked the ground with his feet, 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 integrated team is enough to surround and kill enemies 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 formations.

More than 20 people instantly formed an iron barrel formation.

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

When Ji Xun saw the steel battle formation with nowhere to go, his eyes were full of ridicule.

Like an outgoing cannonball, he ran into it without flinching.

"Boom" sound.

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

This fool's arrogant style of play also made the heavy duty watcher at 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 break through the shield formation forcefully 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 turning back from the brutal impact. If you don't have time to escape, you will definitely be stabbed.

The same is 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 body of the werewolf, as if it was not a body of flesh and blood, but a body of steel.

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

Everyone couldn't 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.

Catalina 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 defensive power, that thought disappeared in an instant.

With just this move, it would be 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.

When he was almost in mid-air, ripples of power appeared on his fists, and he punched out with both fists towards 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 Demonic Solution, these two punches instantly poured their power into the armor.

The two heavily armored knights in mid-air had no chance to defend themselves, and a mouthful of blood spurted onto their masks.

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

Before the iron barrel could be closed again, strands of black thread suddenly appeared around his fist.

This distance is close enough!
He grabbed it with five fingers, as if he had pulled something real.

Suddenly, a strange suction force formed in the void.

Before the heavily armored knights in front of them could figure out what was happening, they suddenly felt their body's center of gravity was unstable and stumbled forward.

Ji Xun looked at the enemy brought to his chest, his eyes narrowed, and he hit him with two more punches "dong" and "dong".

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 it, he can't 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 slaughtered sooner or later.

Repeated tricks.

Gravity pulls, and the fist collapses 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 onlookers.

One careless person really killed through the "Iron Barrel Formation"?
It was obviously 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 arrogant style of play and exaggerated combat power that made it seem like the outcome of the "third round of poker" where Ji Xun was playing was immediately apparent.

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.
