Chapter 227: The Power of Runes (2-in-1)
It's just that Tariq's personality seems to be extremely cautious, and he doesn't stay where he is after confirming that the target is hit, just a little light under his feet, and he doesn't care whether the figure on the ground is dead or alive, and once again turns into an afterimage and rushes out of the fog.
From entering the fog, succeeding, and leaving again, the process in between took only a few breaths, and Jiang Xin could only watch him fly away again before he could detonate the trap under his feet.
"This guy! Definitely not pure alchemy Inhuman! Looking at the clay sculpture on the ground that was cut off by a knife, and then looking at the back left by Tariq's rapid departure, Jiang Xin's face was not very good.
The abilities of the Inhumans are strange and difficult to judge, but the genre attribution of the abilities used by the Inhumans can be judged through all kinds of clues, just like now, in just two battles, Jiang Xin can see that Tariq's methods are definitely not the orthodox alchemy methods of the West, but other inheritances.
Lian Qi and alchemy are the two largest Inhuman systems in existence, but they are not the only two Inhuman systems that exist, there are more peculiar systems in addition to this, the Chakra in India is a genre, and the Runa runes with a total of 24 runes in three groups are also a genre.
Jiang Xin wasn't sure of Tariq's specific origin, but judging from the methods and good physical fitness that this guy had just used, he was definitely not an alchemy alien, and at the same time, he was also different from practicing Qi Shi, and should be a new genre.
Hidden underground, Jiang Xin uses the air mass in his hand as the source, and the soil and sand and gravel are wrapped in grass and wood fibers. Little by little, a humanoid figure slowly emerges and begins to complete the details of the body as time passes. And underground, Jiang Xin's Yuan Qi had already been poured out in advance and circulated in the body of the statue.
A large enough volume brings enough space, so that Jiang Xin can give more abilities to the statue in a unique way, thunder, fire, ice, earth, and combined with the body enhancement ability with Tiangang Qi as the core, a robot-like combat puppet was born.
More and more details make the statue more and more dynamic, and at the same time, a unique 'vitality' is gradually born in it, which is the root of the statue's ability to enter life and fight.
Outside the mist, standing on a high place and looking at the cyan Qi mist below, Tariq did not have the slightest surprise in his eyes: "There is also irregular air movement, he is really still alive, the previous one, it should be a stand-in that he didn't know how to get out, right?" β
After thinking about it for a while, Tariq finally didn't want to stop there, but completely disappeared like a ghost killer, obscured by the shadows of the branches and leaves, and disappeared, even if he used his own exploration skills, Jiang Xin couldn't find the trace of this person accurately.
Only the traces of Qi that began to fade in the air could indicate to Jiang Xin the direction in which Tariq had left, but there was no human figure, and this kind of thing could only be misleading sometimes, and it could not be fully trusted.
Clickβ
With a crisp sound, a featureless black humanoid statue stood on the ground, although Jiang Xin had done his best to shape it, but the difference in color made it easy to conclude at a glance that this person in front of him was not a person.
And with the passage of time, the Qi fog created by [Arrogance] finally dissipated completely, but unlike what Tariq expected, it was not Jiang Xin who appeared, but the statue Xiao Hei who had obtained a small half of Jiang Xin's ability.
The technique of the statue can give life to the wood, stone, and sand, and after getting the command from Jiang Xin, Xiao Hei seemed to be a little uncomfortable and moved his body slightly, and then his body suddenly spun up.
Grabbing mixed stones with his earth-controlling ability, and shooting out with sword qi, Xiao Hei was like a 360-degree machine gun that fired from dead ends, and in just a few breaths, he set off a violent storm of sword qi around him.
Wherever the silver-white sword qi passed, the branches and leaves of the trunk turned into debris, and with just one attack, the vision obstruction caused by the surrounding trees was completely cleared, and the figure of Tariq hidden in the vicinity was also forced to be exposed.
"Still can't feel it?"
With the help of Xiao Hei's unique vision, Jiang Xin clearly 'saw' Tariq's figure, but in the ability to secretly investigate, the place where he was blank, and nothing was stepped on the ground.
"Could it be that this guy can use abilities like telekinesis to lift himself in the air?" Jiang Xin felt a little strange in his heart, but Xiao Hei, who had a tendon, obviously didn't care about these things.
It is already an unpredictable means to make Mu Shi 'come to life', and if you want these guys to be able to think, that is what Jiang Xin can't do now, and when you see people, this is Xiao Hei's most direct thought.
So with a step, boom, the soft ground suddenly sank into two footprints, and the little black with a weight of hundreds of kilograms smashed towards Tariq like a cannonball, a little thin golden light, but it added a trace of majesty to him.
"Golem creatures." Tariq frowned, but he could see Xiao Hei's origin at once, and he didn't see any unique power movements, just retreated sideways and avoided Xiao Hei's attack range.
Rumble!
Tariq was out of the way, but the tree behind him was unlucky, and it was directly broken off by just contact, turning into neat roots that were currently thrown out by Xiao Hei.
Whoosh β
The wind didn't stop, and dozens of wooden spears made of telekinesis and flames burst out in the direction where Tariq was, and the earth and stone made it look powerful.
The javelin's anticipated range attack, coupled with the small black who rushed behind him, Tariq couldn't dodge it anymore no matter what.
Stretching out his hand to block it, Tarik pronounced a strange syllable, a unique rune flashed away, and the invisible air instantly vibrated into ripples visible to the naked eye, and in a click, the wooden javelin shattered instantly, and then was completely suppressed to the ground by the invisible force.
After solving the interference from the javelin, Tariq looked at Xiao Hei again, a sneer of disdain broke out at the corner of his mouth, and another rune flashed, and he hedged out with a momentum that was not inferior to Xiao Hei.
Rumble!
The waves of qi swept out like a substance, the arms of the two sides were facing each other, just a force, and the powerful Qi breath tail teeth caused the ground to instantly sink and explode, turning into a deep pit with a diameter of several meters, and in the pit more than half a person high, the two figures did not let it go at all, and the sharp Qi breath was like a sword and sword shadow, and any one could cut off the grass and trees.
Underground, clearly seeing the moment when Tariq and Xiao Hei collided, Jiang Xin was suddenly shocked in his heart. Although Xiao Hei's material is not very good, with the blessing of his ability, he is not inferior to the average Qi practitioner, and this alone seems to be on par with the guy in front of him.
Whew-z-h
As if realizing that the level of power was not enough to determine his identity immediately, Xiao Hei's body moved, and the purple flames entangled by thunder and lightning instantly swirled, and at Tariq's feet, invisible water vapor condensed into ice and attacked him.
"Childish means!" In the face of multiple attacks, Tariq just smiled coldly, did not dodge or dodge, but took this opportunity to suppress Xiao Hei's power.
As a layer of turquoise Qi membrane full of life breath unfolded on Takri's body, whether it was the purple fire fueled by Qi or the pervasive thunder and lightning, it was firmly blocked out as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
As for the sharp ice blade, it passed through the existence of the Qi membrane, but Tariq only glanced at it slightly, and the fierce Qi breath on his body caused the ice blade to return in vain.
"Shhh
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xin couldn't help but gasp, he had never expected this situation, the invincible thunder and lightning and flames could not cause substantial damage to Tariq, and the Qi membrane of this layer did not know what was blocked outside, but it was the ice blade earth and stone that could pass through this Qi membrane.
"What kind of means is this, even if Lei Fa is concerned, that thing that is obviously composed of Qi can actually resist the burning of purple fire without moving?"
"I've seen all the 24 runes passed down from Northern Europe, and they are obviously not the same as the ones this guy just used, this is a new rune power system, but the ability of the runes is too much!"
Looking at Tariq, who had suppressed Xiao Hei little by little, Jiang's henchmen were incredibly slandered.
The situation has developed to this extent, Xiao Hei's skills can't help the guy with an unknown origin in front of him, and it is possible for Jiang Xin's higher level of purple flame that can burn the life of the divine soul, but it is only possible.
Tariq's rune power system looks like an acquired ability to inherit the system, this rune power system looks good, regardless of whether he has hidden killing moves, just looking at the strength that Tariq is showing now, unless he uses killing moves, he can't take him.
But with the killing move, Jiang Xin couldn't get anything useful to him from the corpse.
And the most critical problem is that Jiang Xin is not sure how far the strange Qi membrane on Tariq's body can go.
Now that he is hiding underground, he can take advantage of the time when Xiao Hei is pestering Tariq to leave, but if he makes a rash move, in case he can't solve the opponent, he may be caught by Tariq if he wants to leave.
Whether to risk being injured and have two moves with Tariq, or to leave directly, Jiang Xin hesitated for less than two seconds before making a decision.
Diving deeper underground, Jiang Xin used Qi to construct a structure similar to a fish's fin and tail on the surface of his body, and quickly left the same place. And on the ground, Yuan Qi in the body of Xiao Hei, who was-for-tat with Tariq, gradually rioted.
A large amount of thunder and fire power continued to burst out under the action of Qi, but before it could be vented, it was blocked by another force, and a huge amount of power was accumulated in the narrow space, Xiao Hei was like a humanoid explosive bag at this time.
The endless flow of Qi breath was transformed into explosive thunder flames with powerful destructive power, and the originally solid body became encapsulated and fragmented, his disadvantages became more and more obvious, but the killing intent accumulated in his body also became more and more serious.
It's just that as Jiang Xin expected at the beginning, Tariq clearly saw the changes in Xiao Hei's body, and then deduced what might happen next.
Bang!
The turquoise Qi membrane three zones on Tariq's body were replaced by a majestic Qi breath, a huge power blessing, just a push and a kick, and it directly imprinted Xiao Hei into the soil layer behind Qi.
Then without the slightest hesitation, Tariq turned around and left without looking back, and the next moment when the little black needle pierced out and wanted to keep up with him, a bright white suddenly slashed through the air, and the sharp blade with the blessing of Qi breath instantly cut through the little black's body.
The powerful pressure accumulated inside was given room for catharsis, and after a short delay of a breath, the raging flames and bursting thunder cleaned all the defenses within a radius of tens of meters, except for the coke slag all over the ground and the flying knives that had generally been twisted and deformed, there was not a trace left.
The layers of shockwaves roared away, and the air and dirt all became the medium of transmission, and the already devastated forests and land were once again ravaged and completely scattered.
And as the roar spreads, the Inhumans in the city are drawn in.
"Tsk, this time it was two ruthless people who did it, and all the woods and meadows in this area were destroyed." Looking at the rugged field in front of him, a stranger shook his head, and then turned to leave: "It's over, everyone is gone, it's boring." β
Some people took the lead, and some of the Inhumans turned away in twos and threes, but others searched around with a glimmer of hope, hoping to find something useful.
But apart from a throwing knife that didn't see anything and demeaning the visible, they found nothing of value.
"It can't go on any longer." Far away from the forest where the battle took place, Jiang Xin introspected and thought: "It's only been less than a week that this kind of strong opponent has been attracted, and if it continues to drag on, I'm afraid there will be greater variables, so let's stop here." β
One of the requirements of the academy is that enough people must see the Philosopher's Stone in Jiang Xin's hands, which is why Jiang Xin wants to stay in this place, he wants enough Inhumans here to complete this requirement.
As for why Jiang Xin had to complete this requirement, instead of directly throwing the magic stone out to attract firepower... The academy had given up ownership of this stone, in other words, this magic stone was now Jiang Xin's.
In addition, Zhao Dong is willing to exchange some conditions or items with Jiang Xin for this magic stone.
Therefore, as long as things do not develop to the point where they cannot be contained, Jiang Xin must bring this stone back. When things are under control, it's not too late to throw the Philosopher's Stone out and divert the firepower.
Compared to the situation he is facing now, Jiang Xin is actually thinking more about Tariq's methods.
Runes, Jiang Xin only knows that the Runa script from Northern Europe has also appeared definitely. But now he has seen a second one, and it is not weak.
He was wondering where this new rune came from, Ancient Egypt? Ancient India? Or is it something else?
Compared to the user of Luna who died in the Qinling Mountains, Jiang Xin felt that the guy he encountered this time seemed to have a better degree of control over runes, and the use of runes was only a thought.
"Runes, what a troublesome ability..."
