Chapter 129: Assassination
[Qigong Master] is a second-order advanced class of [Plum Blossom A-Martial Artist].
And for most melee professions, qigong masters are a very ideal and high cross-sequence transfer option.
After all, this sequence can greatly improve the skill, mana containment, and perception of qi, and the growth of strength, agility, and physique is also very balanced.
This is very suitable for Ji Xun.
This cross-class choice is not too outrageous, and he is not afraid of revealing his JOKER career generic entry.
The most important thing is that the two people in front of them have high visions and see more than they hide.
It doesn't make much sense to hide it.
Moreover, as Dong Jiuye said, Hong Lou can come up with the best things in the City of Innocence.
Since the other party spoke, Ji Xun felt that it was a pity not to ask.
"Original template. 's [Qigong Master] career card? ”
Dong Jiuye glanced at Ji Xun.
Qin Ru was also very interested.
Both of them are figures who have seen the world, and it stands to reason that even if Ji Xun makes any demands, they will not be surprised.
But this is it.
The average person has no idea what "original template" means.
But people of their level know it very well.
For card masters, the original template is theoretically the strongest professional card template of the same level.
It's hard to imagine how much more elevate a cardholder than this card can be.
But it depends on whether people can afford it.
As far as they knew, the original cards meant almost 100% distortion!
The heterochromia also disappeared in a flash.
Hearing this question, they also instantly guessed what was going on with Ji Xun's fusion werewolf card.
At the beginning, "Lone Wolf" Baron was the fused [Cursed 4 of Spades], and the first order had the strength to resist the second-order card master.
Now Ji Xun can easily kill a second-order cursed witch and save Dong Qi.
This also explains something.
There are many people with secrets in the city of innocence.
Dong Jiuye didn't have the idea of snooping on other people's secrets, and he didn't say much when he guessed it.
"Little brother Ji Xun is very good."
He smiled, didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "The fifty-two primordial templates have almost been lost. Even at the headquarters of the Federal Card Masters Association, I'm afraid there are few people who can answer this question for you."
Before she finished speaking, Dong Qi on the side was not happy, touched her father's bald head, and said quietly: "Old man Dong, you have said all your big words." Now this is not good, that is not good, can you do it? ”
Since I am grateful for saving my life, I naturally want to come up with something really good.
It's bad, she still doesn't feel qualified.
Dong Jiuye, the boss of Honglou, was helpless at all about this girl, "Ouch. Okay, okay. I mean, others can't give a reply, I can. ”
Dong Qi gave up.
Ji Xun didn't speak, with an indifferent smile on his face.
He actually asked the question and knew he would get an answer.
Not to mention the original template, at least there must be something similar.
Hong Lou may not have it, but there are people in the city of innocence.
The boss of Hong Lou is already the biggest man at the peak of power in Innocence City, and Ji Xun has no way to contact the person, this one.
For example, the Master Merlin.
Sure enough, Dong Jiuye mentioned this topic and said, "There is a reclusive legendary card-making master in Innocence City, who is Master Merlin, one of the 'three legendary card-making grandmasters' today. It just so happens that I still have a little friendship with Master Merlin. I don't know if he has the original template of [Qigong Master] there. But even if he didn't, the master would have been able to give better advice. Kiki is almost about to take up her second-order position, so let's go and visit that master together."
Dong Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Master Merlin? ”
When Ji Xun heard this, he was not hypocritical and polite, and said directly: "Thank you, Ninth Master." ”
Hong Lou was already eventful, and he didn't plan to stay longer.
I also don't like the life of dealing with a lot of people.
It's also great to be able to exchange favors for physical objects.
"Hmm."
Dong Jiuye heard this, and his small eyes also showed a kind smile.
Whether the strength is strong or not, it doesn't matter to him.
Young people, neither humble nor arrogant, know how to advance and retreat, in the eyes of people of his level, it is commendable.
He has been the boss of Honglou for many years, and he has seen too many people of all kinds.
I have met the kind of people who rely on a little favor and can't wait to tie this relationship firmly to death and climb up the pole.
On the contrary, this kind of clear accounting made him even more recognized.
Qin Ru was silent with a smile on the side.
At this time, Dong Jiuye smiled and said, "But there is no urgency in that matter." Master Merlin doesn't have to be able to see it."
Saying that, he turned his face to Dong Qi and said, "Qiqi, don't run around these days, take Ji Xun's little brother to have a good walk in Honglou." Young people, you should have a little youthful vitality, and you have to enjoy it when you should enjoy it."
Ji Xun smiled when he listened to this unpretentious gangster hospitality, "Thank you." ”
Dong Qiyi responded: "Okay." ”
After finishing business, several people chatted a few more words.
Roughly around Ji Xun's rescue of Dong Qi to solve a big trouble for the two gangs of Hong Lou and the Brotherhood.
Now that the two gangs are negotiating a ceasefire, the City of Innocence has also stopped for the time being.
It seems to be able to settle down for a while.
But while they were chatting, a waiter walked in with a dish.
Qin Ru seemed to be the first to discover something, and a different color flashed in his crystal eyes.
But she didn't show anything out of the ordinary, and continued to eat on her own.
The waiter was beside Dong Jiuye, put the plate on the table, and lifted the lid.
Without warning, the unexpected happened!
The waiter's black curse mark clinged to his skin, and with a touch of cold light, a black dagger appeared out of thin air in his hand like a trick.
The moment he took advantage of the moment he withdrew the lid of the dinner plate to block his vision, he stabbed Dong Jiuye who was close at hand like lightning!
Ji Xun's pupils shrank sharply when he sensed the sudden outburst of murderous aura, and he shouted in his heart: "What a strong assassin!" ”
But when he found out, the assassin had already stabbed Dong Jiuye in the neck.
The sneak attack came so quickly that the image in his eyes had not yet completely transformed into a signal from his brain, and the black tip of the knife had already pierced the skin.
The neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, with many arteries and nerves that are almost completely unprotected.
Even if it can't kill with a single sword, the dagger that lingers in black gas looks highly poisonous.
The timing of the Assassin's choice of action was also very clever and difficult to guard against.
Dong Jiuye just rubbed a piece of meat with a fork and put it in his mouth, and his vision was also blocked.
At this distance, it's too late to dodge.
When you see it, you will be stained with blood on the spot.
However, a bizarre scene happened.
The sharp tip of the dagger stabbed at the fatal position of the three fingers under Dong Jiuye's forehead.
But no sound of flesh being broken was heard.
It's a "sonorous"!
It sounded like a sharp object stabbing a brass bell.
Looking at it again, a layer of metallic copper color was condensed on the skin of Dong Jiuye's neck, as if the flesh was partially metalized.
Ji Xun only reacted at this time, but was surprised.
The assassin also had a dagger in his hand with a demon-breaking entry, but he didn't break the defense?
And even more weird is still to come, that is, the moment the skin is copperized, a terrifying bull-headed demon god phantom appeared behind Dong Jiuye.
Ji Xun looked at it, and his eyes lit up: "The demon god Gutian Moro pointed to by [Mark of Hearts 2]!" ”
Able to present the phantom vision of the demon god, the quality of the demon mark is at least legendary.
Didn't have time to think about it.
The dagger was stabbed on his neck, and Dong Jiuye's brows were slightly raised.
Seeing this, the assassin's expression also changed suddenly: "So strong!
He knew he wouldn't get a second chance.
Without waiting for the assassin to draw his knife and escape, Dong Jiuye's left hand stretched out like lightning, and his two fingers instantly appeared bronze, making a sword-shaped, and he accurately sandwiched the dagger between his fingers.
Then he threw a punch and struck the assassin in the lower abdomen.
The fist seemed to tear through the air, and a foot away the assassin's lower abdomen was already dented with a fist mark.
Before the assassin could take half a step back, his eyes bloodshot.
Then he fell to the ground with a bang, and he had already fainted.
Assassinations come and go as fast as they go.
In the blink of an eye, the Assassin had fallen to the ground.
And Dong Jiuye is still chewing the meat in his mouth.
Seeing this, Qin Ru seemed to be accustomed to it, and didn't even glance at it.
Dong Qi frowned and muttered, "Here we go again." ”
Dong Jiuye had a kind expression on his face that had never changed.
Assassinations seem to be commonplace in the gangsters.
Ji Xun didn't speak, but he already had an accurate understanding of the strength of this top master in Innocence City in his heart.
This fat old man, who looks harmless to humans and animals, has real means. Very strong.
If you read it right, the assassin just now was at least a third-order, and his assassination methods were impeccable.
The truth is, one move is a second.
Dong Jiu Yeqiang was originally expected, but Ji Xun looked at the fading metallic luster on his skin, but thought of something else in his heart: "How does this body protection secret method really feel a little similar to the 'Supreme Body'?" ”
He knew this when he inquired about Dong Jiuye's information from the intelligence merchant before.
But seeing it with your own eyes is another thing.
The same invincible way of the flesh.
But it's different.
The red baron I saw in the different dimensional space before is a flesh body and demon with extremely high double defense, strong from the inside out.
And Dong Jiuye's skin is metalized from the outside in.
The two look at different ways, but they give people a very similar look, as if they come from the same source.
Ji Xun's realm is too low to understand.
But the quality of this level of secret method is absolutely extremely high.
Ji Xun thought of something: "Or, is this another part of the fragment of the hegemonic body?" ”
didn't have to think about it, but Dong Jiuye smiled and said, "Let the little brother laugh." ”
He didn't care about any assassination at all, but said in a somewhat helpless tone: "There are always some guys with not very bright brains, who think that if they kill me, they will be able to control the City of Innocence." ”
Ji Xun nodded and agreed, and didn't talk much about this kind of topic that was not suitable for him.
Although he was very curious about Dong Jiuye's secret method, he didn't want to ask at this juncture.
People just gave you a big opportunity, and you have to inch in, which is not good.
What's more, when I encountered an assassination, I directly asked about the secret method of protecting the body, isn't this just asking where the flaws are.
Soon someone dragged the unconscious Assassin out.
The atmosphere of the meal did not seem to be affected at all.
Dong Jiuye originally just wanted to come and see the person who saved his daughter, but now it is quite appetizing, and he doesn't mean to stay longer.
The business has been talked about for the same time.
Dong Jiuye got up and said, "Ji Xun Xiaoyou, the gang still has some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you." Let Kiki talk more with you later, you young people, you can communicate more. ”
Ji Xun also politely returned the salute, "You are busy first." ”
As soon as Dong Jiuye left, there were only three people left in the house.
It was as if an invisible pressure had disappeared.
Ji Xun came back to his senses, obviously a very easy-going bald old man, but he didn't know until he left that the pressure was so great.
He looked thoughtful.
At this time, Dong Qi posted it, forked a large piece of meat with a fork, and put it on Ji Xun's plate, not forgetting to instruct: "Eat more." ”
Ji Xun was not polite, and feasted: "Thank you." ”
The problem of the career card has been settled, and the matter of breathing has a clue.
He's in a good mood too.
The food tastes good, not to mention that he also needs enough nutrients to keep the muscles of his body growing back to their ancestors.
After chatting about the matter, Dong Qi asked expectantly: "Ji Xun, will we go to the workshop after dinner?" ”
Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”
It is necessary to wait for the time to go to that Master Merlin, and this time is just right to continue to digest those ancient documents.
But not far away, looking at Qin Ru is look at Dong Qi's good buddy with his shoulders hooked, he was slightly helpless, and said, "Qiqi, you are not young anymore." Don't spend a day tinkering with your machines in the workshop. Duo and Ji Xun went out for a walk. ”
Dong Qi listened to what he thought meant to arrange entertainment and pastime, and responded: "I took him to Honglou yesterday." He didn't seem to be in much of a mood. ”
As she spoke, she didn't forget to ask, "Right, Ji Xun?" ”
Qin Ru glanced at her when she listened.
Dong Qi didn't understand the look, but she also saw that Ji Xun didn't seem to like staying in Honglou very much.
And without him, it would be impossible to decipher those mechanical drawings by himself.
Dong Qi thought that his brothers and drawings were important, and said, "Why don't we go to the studio." You really want to relax in a moment, I'll call you a few beautiful women to come up! ”
Ji Xun was used to the words of the tiger and wolf, and smiled and didn't speak.
Qin Ru listened with helplessness in his eyes.
Which girl entertains guests and gives people beautiful women to relax at every turn?
Dong Qi didn't seem to understand it at all, and didn't forget to say: "Aunt Qin, don't worry, I'll arrange it!" ”
After dinner, she couldn't wait to hug Ji Xun up the elevator and go to the workshop on the eleventh floor.
Qin Ru watched the two leave, sighed slightly, and also went up to the thirteenth floor.
Dong Jiuye was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, overlooking the brightly lit Downing Street and the pier leading to the Old Continent not far away.
"Which young man do you think is like that?"
"Very good."
"I was also a good impression. If there is really an accident in the back of Hong Lou. Kiki is also a reliable friend. ”
"I've heard that someone from the Lionheart family is here?"
"Hmm. They didn't know where they got the news of the King's Key and wanted to get the idea of it. ”
"The people who knew the secret were the only ones, and now it's leaked out, and it's hard to predict what will happen in the future. The group of politicians in the Federation is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
“.”
In front of the glass window, the two of them looked very solemn.
Ji Xun and Dong Qi stayed in the mechanical workshop for a day and a night.
Except for going to the toilet, the two are almost together.
Ji Xun also knew that he would not stay in Honglou for a long time, so he simply spent a little time compiling a dictionary of the ancient Talen language.
Dong Qi was also like a treasure, and he was stuck in the ocean of mechanical knowledge.
Qin Ru had been here twice halfway.
But when she saw that the two of them were really immersed in the ancient books, she didn't say anything.
I also specially sent some ancient books collected by Hong Lou, about spells, about cards.
These are out-of-print editions that can't be bought.
Ji Xun also felt that he had gained a lot.
And good news followed.
The next day, accurate news came from Dong Jiuye's side, saying that the time on Master Merlin's side had been booked.
Ji Xun and Dong Qi no longer stayed in the room and went out of the Hong Building.
this day.
Gro Street in the South Quarter.
In the darkness, the two figures slid down the pipe with a steel cable, and soon came to the mouth of a huge abandoned sewage pipe.
It is surrounded by huge pipes, which are the city's sewer pipes left over from thousands of years ago.
Dong Qi turned on the lights, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "It should be here." ”
Ji Xun also observed, more than a hundred meters above his head, it was the gold-lacquered spire of the main building of the headquarters of the Hunter Union.
But there was a crowd of people up there.
There is no one in the shadows under these 100 meters.
Except for the sound of rats squirming, almost no movement could be heard.
If it weren't for Dong Jiuye's guidance, Ji Xun wouldn't have thought that the place agreed by Master Merlin was here.
I looked at the time on my pocket watch, and it was only six o'clock.
The agreed one was seven o'clock.
Dong Qi found a clean place to do it, and he was afraid that Ji Xun and the others would be impatient, so he said more: "The old man said that Master Merlin has a strange temper, let's pay attention not to offend." Don't be late, or you won't see anyone. ”
"Hmm."
Ji Xun doesn't care.
The master has a bit of a strange temper to be abnormal.
He knows very well that if he can make an appointment to meet, Dong Jiuye's human favor is not small.
So the two didn't dare to be careless and came an hour early.
The orange alchemy lamp illuminated a corner, and the two of them were not idle, Dong Qi took out the notes recorded in the past two days and read them by himself.
And Ji Xun began his daily daily training.
He played a set of wolf tooth wind fists and moved his body.
As he fought, a strange force field appeared around Ji Xun, and his muscles swelled up.
That [Power Gem Golden Ball] was now his best partner in cultivation.
Infuse mana and you'll get a super load.
Recently, he has become proficient in using it, so he has set the gemstone on the inner armor and can use it at any time.
The two became more and more familiar, and after their temperaments became familiar, Ji Xun did not shy away from Dong Qi.
When this set of punches came out, Dong Qi was amazed when he saw it on the side, "Ji Xun, I just found out that you guy is either meditating every day, or reading books and practicing. Don't you have any other hobbies? ”
The more she got along, the more she realized that Ji Xun was really different from others.
In the gangsters, the most seen are all kinds of people who are drunk and dream of death, and vent their low-level desires.
So now when she sees a person who is absolutely self-disciplined, she feels very strange.
Dong Qi thought of the past two days, there were so many good-looking girls in Honglou, that guy didn't try it, so he asked directly: "Are you really not interested in women?" ”
Ji Xun took the time to respond with one word: "Yes." ”
Dong Qi naturally believed it when he heard it, but he also muttered to himself: "Then you. Oh, are you only interested in a big beauty like Aunt Qin? ”
Ji Xun: "."
Dong Qi shrugged: "Ah, then I can't help you." ”
Ji Xun: "."
Dong Qi didn't say much more about this kind of issue.
After pondering for a moment, she took a closer look at Ji Xun's explosive punch, and said with emotion: "Ji Xun, I just found out that you are really strong, no wonder you can easily kill that second-order cursed witch." ”
Ji Xun also took the time to respond in between punches: "The upper limit of the machine is unlimited. If you study hard, you may not be able to compete with top card masters. ”
"Well, I think so too!"
Dong Qi nodded with a serious face
She felt that Ji Xun's appetite was not just a life-saving grace.
What's more, it's a rare time she's met someone who can truly understand the wonders of machinery.
At this time, Dong Qi thought of something again, and asked with a little expectation: "By the way, Ji Xun, how strong are you now?" Can you kill the underground boxing champion like Atai? ”
Ji Xun thought about it: "It should be about the same." ”
Hearing this, Dong Qi immediately became interested: "Otherwise, when are we going to do that guy?" Listening to Song Fatzi, Big Ivan's transport convoy has recently been hijacked again. Didn't catch anyone though. But I suspect it may be that Atay guy has tasted the sweetness and is secretly playing tricks. ”
Now that the two gangs have signed a ceasefire agreement, all the fire has stopped.
But it's clear that there are still people playing tricks on the ground.
Ji Xun also responded when he heard it: "Okay." ”
Don't talk about the breathing method.
He's also interested in playing against the masters.
Ah Tai's strength is very strong, especially the deadly fighting skills practiced in a death gladiatorial fight, and the body protection qigong that transforms into mana, which is considered to be the best in the second order.
If it is estimated that it is a competition, the odds are three-seven.
He is three, and Atay is seven.
I really want to fight to the death, but it's five or five.
But it is precisely because the opponent who challenges is strong and has a deadly threat that it makes sense for Ji Xun.
