Chapter 213 Poker Game·Snow White
“Who is this person?”
“There is a second legendary strongman among the Thirteen Kamen Riders? Hiss. I have never heard of it. Ah."
"This is not good. All four of the Thirteen Knights must complete the assassination. I'm afraid that Lady Catherine has a lot of background."
"."< br>
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.
One of the Thirteen Knights, Rem, the "Nightkeeper", 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 also speculated that the people behind the Lion Heart Family may not have used this plan to severely damage the Oran survivors, and also caused the Thirteen Kamen Riders organization to suffer losses.
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.
No matter 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 all realized that something was wrong.
The battles between the 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. This pressure was simply not something that low-level card masters could withstand.
Every one of those fat nobles 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 don’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 looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and gave a very considerate sigh of relief. : "Don't be so nervous. I'm not the protagonist today."
As he said that, the eyes under the mask smiled playfully.
He took out another dark gold playing card. After being infused with the magic power, it became very shiny. He chanted softly: "Poker game·Snow White."
The dark gold poker card collapsed. on the spot.
A magical scene took place.
The sensory world around us, 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?
Looking closely, 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.
But this is just the beginning.
Before Queen Catherine had any reaction, she found that she had appeared 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 only him, but all the guests had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
Because this name refers to a very common poker game between two people on the market.
Both gamblers have "five hands" of cards and gamble in a turn-based manner.
Both sides drew random cards in the first four hands, some were big and some were 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.
A battle of life and death.
To put it simply, the rules of the game are turn-based, one-on-one!
When Ji Xun saw this, his expression became subtle.
Looking at the two sides betting against each other, 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 vicious 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.
Based on 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.
The earth legend of the Oran Dynasty failed to break the situation.
Ji Xun is not entangled either.
Let alone 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 got better.
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 are killed, there will 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 follow the rules of the game he has set.
The melon-eating people watching were also relieved.
It seems that it will not be affected.
As for the reason for this show, Ji Xun also figured out that this rule was probably customized for the ninth day of the lunar month.
She wanted to kill Queen Catherine herself.
This spell to forcefully change the rules of combat is too incredible.
Ji Xun couldn't help but ask: "What is the ability of this 'I am the world' field?"
He had read some simple explanations about the "field" in the classics before describe.
Roughly speaking, it means that after the card master understands the laws of the universe to 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 cannot 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: "Yeah. My grandfather has seen this field before. However, he couldn't tell me what's so great about it. He only warned me with two words, there is no solution in this field."
"No solution. "The problem has been explained.
Ji Xun didn’t hesitate much after hearing this.
But seeing the ability of this hand to change the rules, he felt more and more weird: "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 that maybe this guy has changed some rules?
The situation suddenly changed in this wonderful way.
The expressions of the Oran survivors 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?
“Hmph!”
Katherine 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 this spell very well.
Even if she is forced into this gambling game with specific rules, the outcome is still 50-50.
Otherwise, if we really have to forcibly change the rules of the game 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.
Katherine concentrated her mind 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!
And the queen's side is the defending side, so the cards in the first two rounds can be played last.
This allowed her to take the initiative.
The gambling begins.
Chu Jiu did not hesitate and gently opened the round of cards in front of him.
The colorful poker light dispersed and gradually transformed into a human shape.
A blindfolded man in a cloak appeared on the card table. 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.
How could she not see that although this "blind man" has very special abilities after being detached from the devil, he is 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.
"咚" "咚" "咚".
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.
The ninth day of the lunar month 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 lazy and 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 round is crucial.
Katherine was not sure what the other party was going to do,
but to be on the safe side, she also pointed out another safe card.
The luster faded, and an old man in a cloak appeared.
Having taken action just now, everyone knows which legendary earth card master this is.
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.
As the siege party, Princess Chujiu took advantage of the two opportunities to play cards first.
Now it's 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 skill of the card player.
But there is another problem: only four of the Thirteen Knights 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 "hidden 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 two cards played by the opponent, there must be a famous card "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 has understood that realm, she knows that no matter who is up against this person, they can't 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 small card.
If the opponent plays "Light Chaser" and wins this round, she can guarantee that she will only lose one round.
If the opponent doesn't play, 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 collapsed, a group of twenty or thirty knights suddenly appeared on the huge gambling table.
Seeing this, the bystanders were surprised.
“What’s going on?”
"Is this a straight made from a mixed bag of cards?"
"Hiss, so the other side's card is also a mixed card?"
"."
There are many guests in the banquet hall who are 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 he saw Queen Catherine playing a "straight",
he realized that the "hidden card" might be different from what he expected.
A top-level powerhouse like the one just now will not remain untouched.
It is an existence whose rank 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 myself.
Coincidentally, he and Chujiu know each other very well and are still 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 no-name brand, so it seems to be pretty good.
A tacit understanding came over my heart.
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?
With the thought, the fighting spirit can no longer be restrained.
The clown’s destiny is to dance on the stage.
Even dying on stage is the most glorious ending in life.
And 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.
However, being able to personally participate in this level of wrestling is an exciting experience.
Katrina on the side is also thinking hard about what the "hidden card" of the Thirteen Knights 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?"
She then realized 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.”
Ji Xun tilted his head and smiled.
Responded.
Because at this time, he also noticed the look in the eyes of his old friend at the gaming table and smiled slightly.
My heart feels connected.
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.
Katrina 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 I’ve seen it somewhere recently?”
"."
The crowd started whispering as they watched a stranger wearing a clown mask appear on the gambling table.
The one who appears is not the Light Chaser, then this is the "hidden card" of the Thirteen Knights.
Then who is he?
Why did you send him out?
What ability does this person have?
Questions are lingering in everyone’s mind.
Ji Xun stood at the gambling table, standing proudly.
Even if he is surrounded by top experts, he does not 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 it was not fear and timidity, but an excited sneer.
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 uneasy, but also has a strong desire to express.
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.
Ji Xun never disappoints on stage.
Hahaha. This is the feeling.
How lucky is it for a little unknown actor to be able to act with a group of top stars?
"It's time to dance."
Jixun's exaggerated grin made the corners of Scarlet's mouth reach to his ears. He suddenly raised his head and looked outside the gambling table, then bowed deeply to the audience, and performed like a professional actor before performing. opening ceremony.
It was this opening ceremony that left everyone present stunned.
When Ji Xun first took the stage, they felt an unabashed arrogance, violence and ferocity from the clown in front of them.
That is a kind of edge that cannot be concealed under the halo of top powerhouses.
However, during the salute just now, the impression was suddenly violently changed.
Have they seen the elegance and extreme gentlemanliness beneath the calmness?
Everyone can’t figure it out.
How can weirdness and elegance, these two obviously conflicting temperaments, appear in one person at the same time?
But the shock has 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 time, an indescribable strange feeling suddenly hit everyone's heart.
“Look at the 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 orders.
I found my seat instantly.
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 sense of anticipation is getting stronger and stronger.
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 emergence 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, no one can win.
I am 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 is not even at level three yet?
How can 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 understand, but all the audience present couldn't understand.
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 all.
In front of us, 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, the 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 filled with amusement, and his performance began.
His feet kicked the ground hard, and with a "pop" he stepped into the air and disappeared on the spot.
When he appeared again, he suddenly 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: "Formation!"
The knights were on guard for a long time and quickly changed formations.
More than twenty people formed an iron barrel formation in an instant.
This turtle formation is enough to adapt to any situation, whether it's a legion's charge or a master's 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.
A "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 watch outside 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 forcefully break through the shield formation 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.
This is also 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 can break through the flesh, they can't penetrate at all, and only a little blood can be seen.
Everyone could not 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: "The curse seal and the supreme body? This guy condensed the curse seal so quickly?"
Just now she was still Some are worried that Ji Xun will suffer a loss on the field.
But now when I saw this exaggerated defensive power, that thought disappeared instantly.
With just this move, it would be difficult for a third-level card master to kill him without special abilities.
“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.
While he was almost in mid-air, ripples of power appeared on his fists, and he punched out towards the chest of the heavy armored knight.
“Boom!”
Ji Xun’s current proficiency in [Biji 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. "Pfft" a mouthful of old blood sprayed on their masks.
Ji Xun had no intention of spending any more time. He had already broken through the knight formation after killing two people in a row.
Before the iron bucket could be closed again, wisps 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.
The heavily armored knights in front of them had not yet figured out what was going on. They suddenly felt their body's center of gravity was unstable and staggered forward.
Ji Xun looked at the enemy that was placed in front of his chest, his eyes narrowed, and he punched him with two more "dong" and "dong" punches.
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 only scratches the surface, 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 lambs to be slaughtered sooner or later.
The old trick is repeated.
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.
A careless person could really kill through the "Iron Bucket Formation"?
Obviously it was 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 so long.
