As soon as the blood mist dispersed, the overall situation in the treasure house of the divine ruins was decided.

In the dead silence of the city of innocence, a door of light appeared.

The survivors who had been trapped in the secret realm for seven days also poured out one after another.

The City of Innocence is an adventurous city.

The city forces are mostly hunters, mercenaries, and speculators.

Death is also commonplace for them.

Although many relatives and friends died, those who walked out of the light gate were glad that they survived after all.

The faces of everyone were full of ecstasy for the rest of their lives.

It's like experiencing a difficult interdimensional space, and almost all of them who survived got their own big chances.

"Hahaha, we're really out! Oh, I also got a volume of gold-grade potion recipes, which are worth at least 10 million to sell to alchemy potion manufacturers, and now it's developed."

"I'm a mechanic, and I've got these pages of the Truss Mechanical Manuscript that documents a lot of technology that the Federation doesn't currently have! Oh my God, I have a hunch that a mechanical revolution is coming."

"I also got a third-order arcane-level spell scroll, which is the kind of generational spell I haven't seen in the library of the Royal Academy of Commonwealth."

"My good man, I didn't expect there to be so many legendary powerhouses in the City of Innocence! The "Valkyrie" Qin of the Revolutionary Army, the "Four-Eyed Strange Monk" Garan, and the Emperor of Thieves "Night Shadow" Kuntu. I've never seen so many top powerhouses in my life. And who is that qigong master senior? How do you feel that he is stronger than the legend."

"Tsk! The original legend is true, and it is really eye-opening that there is a higher transcendent rank above the sixth order. ”

"Although a lot of people died this time, after today, our card master civilization will be prosperous. It is said that those legendary powerhouses have been given a way to break through the 'super rank'"

"yes. The inheritance of the broken generations continues, and it makes people look forward to it. ”

"I'm the Great Ivan Chamber of Commerce, and I've spent a lot of money to acquire all kinds of martial arts, spells, potion scrolls, secret magic scrolls, and mechanical drawings produced in the secret realm."

“.”

The vast majority of people don't know what those vampires mean, and they don't know the existence of the Silvermoon Cult.

After all, all cases related to the Old Gods are handled confidentially.

Avoid the spread of contamination caused by the recitation of the old gods.

Ordinary card masters don't worry so much, they care more about the harvest.

The survivors who walked out of the light gate sighed one by one, chatting in groups about their experiences these days.

It can be said that almost all those who can leave the secret realm alive have something extraordinary.

The essence of the secret realm is a trial.

They completed the difficult trials, and they all received "rewards" that fit them.

It's lucky to be alive, and it's even more lucky to be rewarded.

Although there are very few people who survive this time.

Not one in a hundred.

But there is only one exit to the secret realm.

It's right in Downing Street.

Many people did not go far after coming out, but continued to wait to see if they could wait for their relatives and friends to return.

Gradually, the exit of the secret realm began to crowd, becoming as noisy and chaotic as a train station.

And quietly, a middle-aged man in a cloak who was inconspicuous also walked out of the crowd.

He slipped into the alley and looked like he wanted to leave without a sound.

But after a few steps, a teenager stepped out of the shadows around the corner.

It's like waiting for a long time.

The light illuminated a bloodless face.

If Ji Xun was here, he would probably be able to recognize that the mushroom-headed hairstyle was Jia Yu.

But by the moment he was so thin that he was skinny.

Jia Yu looked at the cloaked man and greeted, "Captain." ”

The cloak man was stunned, "Jia Yu? ”

This is none other than Xie Guozhong, who has not appeared for a long time.

He looked at Jia Yu's appearance, as if he was puzzled, and asked, "Why are you injured like this?" ”

Mushroom Head chuckled, "That's not important. The important thing is that I am here to wait for the captain. ”

Xie Guozhong looked puzzled: "Wait for me?" ”

Jia Yu smiled mysteriously, and asked instead of answering: "Captain, where are you going now?" ”

Xie Guozhong frowned, as if he was reluctant to mention this topic: "I have a little personal matter to deal with. ”

Jia Yu shook his head when he heard this, didn't say more, just said: "If it is the captain, he will definitely fight to the last moment." And it won't come out early. ”

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong frowned.

He had a knotted contradiction in his mind: yes, why didn't I fight the vampire to the end?

Human cognition is a complex thing.

If tampered with, it can cause a cascade of reactions.

It's not important, but if it's something that contradicts the values of your own worldview, it will be very abrupt.

It's like a tower of blocks, and you may have no problem extracting a lot of sticks.

But if you touch one of the pillars, it will collapse.

Xie Guozhong is determined and far from being human, his three views are stable, and the justice in his heart is the pillar.

Tampering with it a little bit is actually in conflict with his entire three views.

It's just that no one wakes up.

If someone really reminds you, when you suddenly wake up, you will find that your behavior and concepts are conflicting and contradictory.

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong's eyes instantly became foggy, and he fell into confusion.

Jia Yu didn't beat around the bush anymore, and directly explained the situation: "Captain, you have been tampered with by the old gods. ”

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong suddenly understood something, "Am I polluted?" ”

"Nope. At least not for the time being. ”

Jia Yu shook his head and said, "If you are polluted, it is impossible for you to come out of the secret realm." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Guozhong and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the 'pollution source' should be sealed in your body." ”

“.”

When Xie Guozhong heard this, his brain tingled instantly, as if there was a thought that eagerly persuaded him to leave here quickly.

With this thought, he was inexplicably irritable in his heart, and his evil qi rose uncontrollably, revealing his murderous aura.

But there was a clear struggle on his face.

It's as if this behavior is in conflict with some obsession.

This conflict came very violently, and the strong man seemed to have fought with himself, and in the blink of an eye, he was already covered with beads of sweat and gasping.

"Whew. Whew."

At this moment, Xie Guozhong seemed to be trying his best to suppress the beast in his heart, and a low roar came out of his throat.

The eyes were suddenly confused, and suddenly clear.

He suddenly raised his head, as if he could no longer suppress some of his thoughts, and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

When Jia Yu saw this, he also understood something, and said, "Count Nicholas tampered with your cognition and let you escape with the source of pollution. But what he doesn't know is that you predicted that you might be affected before you acted, so you solidified some of your deep cognitions, and deep down you will choose to 'trust me absolutely'. This conflicts with your subsequent tampering perceptions. That's why you're so conflicted. ”

“.”

Xie Guozhong sounded as if he had been stimulated, and his whole body trembled.

The voice inside him was instigating him to leave!!

Have to!!!

"Shut up!"

Xie Guozhong snorted violently.

This voice is more like saying to yourself.

After all, he couldn't suppress his evil spirit, and he burst out.

However, at the moment when he was about to go berserk, Xie Guozhong bit his tongue violently, a mouthful of red blood spurted out, and his eyes were clear for a moment.

The mana power he condensed suddenly turned from the outside to the inside, and he almost gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Ten Thousand Evils, Turin is sealed!" ”

In an instant, the crimson Demon Killing Spirit tattoo rushed back into his body before he could go berserk.

The collision of two forces in the body is no less than taking a blow from a top powerhouse head-on.

He couldn't hold back the fishy pain in his throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out: "Poof~"

If you are seriously injured.

Xie Guozhong's whole person's aura plummeted by ninety percent, and the violent aura disappeared in an instant.

He chose to seal himself so as not to be uncontrollable.

Jia Yu looked at Xie Guozhong, who had sealed himself in front of him, as if he had expected it, and muttered, "Captain."

This is the captain he knows.

“.”

Xie Guozhong shook his head, not caring about his injuries.

As Mushroomhead said, he had an intuition in his heart that made him choose to believe in his former assistant.

After a few breaths, he suppressed his injuries and asked, "So, what happened?" ”

Jia Yu's eyes were deep, and he explained: "Count Nikolai knows that he has no hope of escaping from the secret realm, so he only has one chance to bring out the 'pollution source'. It's either on you or someone else. He didn't dare to bet on whether I would have the means to confirm the location of the jar. Therefore, if it is placed on others, once it is discovered, it will definitely fall short. And you, captain, are not only strong in strength and means, but the most important thing is to be familiar with my character. Even if you are discovered, if I keep my hand, you will most likely escape."

"Understood."

Xie Guozhong responded very calmly.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and asked, "So, do I have to die?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Yu was rarely silent.

During the conversation, Xie Guozhong's gaze was always on the person in front of him.

It's like seeing the mushroom head that was curious about everything when they first met.

It was a really good time.

He smiled calmly: "If so, please kill me immediately." ”

That smile was more like encouragement.

Even at the moment of life and death, he did not hesitate.

This is the righteousness in his heart.

Stand footsquare.

Jia Yu closed his eyes and said for a long time: "I don't know." ”

Although the plan killed most of the high-ranking Crimson believers, including Count Nicholas, there were still some remnants outside.

He could tell that the Scarlet Corrupt must have left behind.

The current situation is that only by killing Xie Guozhong can it be possible to get the jar.

Then find a way to deal with it.

If he is not killed, he will live, and he will either be polluted or polluted by others.

Sooner or later, it's a bomb that will detonate.

can make Jia Yu hesitate, and Count Nikolai's purpose has been achieved.

"Xiao Nan, do you know when the exit of this secret realm will be closed?"

"It should be after sunset."

"That is, there are about ten hours left?"

"Hmm."

"I'm going to try the 'Advanced Shadow' trial."

"Huh? But that would be dangerous. ”

“.”

On the other side, in the secret realm, Ji Xun and Nan Jing cleaned up the remaining materials in the altar.

Aside from those contaminants, there are a lot of extraordinary materials.

Magic Core, Energy Crystal, High Purity Crystal, Blood Pattern Steel, Abyssal Dirt Copper.

A lot of them are top-of-the-line goods in the warehouses of Bureau X.

Ji Xun also happily stuffed it into his storage ring.

And the people of the Oran Royal Court probably knew that the overall situation had been decided and they couldn't kill Nanjing, so they also quietly retreated.

Ji Xun didn't find the jar in the altar, and guessed that Bacheng was taken out.

But he didn't dwell on it too much.

If you can think of this, the lightseeker must be able to take it into account.

So there must be someone squatting at the exit to guard some fish that have slipped through the net.

Don't worry about it.

And this "Innocent City Incident" is so big that the top level of the Federation has already woken up, and Bureau X will also be purged.

While it won't wipe out the remnants of the Old Gods in the gutter, they will cease to fade for at least many years to come.

But those are no longer what Ji Xun needs to consider right now.

There is no pressure on the old gods to pollute the crisis.

This treasure trove of divine ruins has also been restored to its original function.

There are also sporadic battles in the city.

The biggest movement is Miyatake Nawu Idiot, who is still chasing the hammer of Count Nikolai.

It is rare to meet an opponent, and it is definitely not the character of an old man who does not distinguish between victory and defeat.

And then there are people who, like Ji Xun, want to seize the time to get more rewards, and they are also looking around for opportunities.

After a while, the two found an underground practice ground where the law of fear still remained.

Now that the sun is just right outside, there is no need to worry about monsters popping up suddenly.

Although Nan Jing was worried, he was also familiar with Ji Xun's character and didn't say much.

Empty room.

As soon as Ji Xun Demon was solved, the magic power was rolling like flames.

He just stood where he was, this time not absorbing the threads of fear, but allowing them to invade his body and induce the instinctive fear in his heart.

He was also curious about what he was afraid of.

After a few moments, the fear was magnified, and a murderous force condensed in the empty training ground.

High up, Nanjing, who was shaking a pair of big white legs on the iron shelf, also noticed it for the first time, and his pretty face was nervous for a moment.

I just wanted to remind me to be careful, but I didn't expect Ji Xun to react faster.

He had a roundhouse kick.

There was a muffled "thump".

Accurately and skillfully cracked the deadly move that sneaked up on the shadow.

Nanjing blinked, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he sighed in his heart: "His perception has become so strong."

Ji Xun kicked the guy behind him, and he already had an assessment in his heart: Is the strength and agility really the same level as when I came in before.

In the past few days, while he has been farming monsters with high intensity, he has also raised his proficiency in "Yi" and "Qi Machine Perception" by several steps.

Just now, I sensed the enemy in advance, so I easily grasped it.

However, Ji Xun also saw that this shadow did not have a head-to-head battle at all.

In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means.

This is not the same as my usual personality.

On the opposite side, the gray figure retreated more than ten meters, and after counteracting the momentum, he stood there.

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as himself, Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly.

The shadow looked at him, too.

The smile on its face was wicked and treacherous, and the curvature that tugged at the corners of its mouth revealed a tyranny and madness that was visible to the naked eye.

Ji Xun looked very familiar, and muttered in his heart: "Is the demonic personality wrong, to be precise, the monsters that manifest those negative emotions that cannot be controlled by reason." ”

He was still very puzzled before, he could even see life and death very lightly, what would he be afraid of.

This secret realm gave him the answer.

"So, my fear is not death, but my fear of twisting myself into a monster with a will that I cannot control?"

Ji Xun was already abrupt.

It turns out that the fear hidden in the bottom of my heart is myself.

If his will can't dominate him and let it become a monster, this kind of life is really meaningless to him.

Ji Xun sensed the restlessness of fear in his heart, and he was still very calm.

Fear has always been one of the weakest emotions for him.

He watched carefully, thinking that the "high-level shadow" should be tricky, maybe something he wouldn't

Just as he was thinking about what the other party would do, he suddenly looked at the shadow on the opposite side and suddenly rose up, and in a blink of an eye, the beast turned into a werewolf form.

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Sure enough, I won't."

He is now tainted by the Crimson, and the blood plague has suppressed the werewolf's ability to transform.

But the shadow can.

Just as he was thinking, there was a "snap", and the werewolf with red eyes had already rushed over.

The speed was so fast, the moment Ji Xunba's body just condensed, the wolf's claws appeared on his chest.

The moment the overlord body touched the hegemonic body, it exploded with a metallic sound like a bell.

The hard concrete floor was also hit hard, and large cobwebs cracked in an instant.

"Boom!"

The moment the two figures clashed, they immediately turned into two afterimages, colliding ghostly in the huge training ground.

Ji Xun also realized the trickiness of the "high-level shadow".

If it weren't for the absorption of a large number of transcendent traits in the past few days, the attributes would have skyrocketed.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the one just now will be crushed by the transformed one's own attributes.

Even heavy hits.

However, even if the physical attributes have reached the level of overflowing body, it is still a little worse than the shadow of the werewolf state.

Fortunately, the proficiency of various martial arts and magic mystic methods has been greatly improved in the past few days, and he can barely use the pressure of skills.

Ji Xun fought viciously with the werewolf shadow.

Having killed junior and intermediate shadows before, he already knew that the other party was familiar with all his martial arts.

Almost everything he could think of, the shadow could think of.

And the means are more vicious.

Ji Xun can also be regarded as having learned his vicious side.

But any means that can hurt people, the shadow will do everything.

Even many martial arts, Ji Xun himself never thought that he could use them so viciously.

This kind of battle is not only physically exhausting, but also mentally unrelaxed.

At all times, you have to think about what means the shadow will use against you.

The "demonic personality" is a pure killing machine, and it will not be burdened in any way.

The shadow will use the "Immortal Curse" to restore at any cost, which has still become Ji Xun's biggest headache.

However, Ji Xun also has benefits.

He's absorbed too much corrupt blood, and he's worried that he can't consume it.

Moreover, the blood plague contamination had already given him some of the vampire's recovery abilities.

This vicious battle was destined to last for a long time from the beginning when neither side ended the battle quickly.

In the huge training room, it was like a thunderstorm night, and the thunderous sound was endless.

The inspiration is constantly being refreshed.

"Combat Mastery +331, you have advanced to 'Master Fighting Skill'"

[Battle Mastery 'Floating Combo' Mastery +21"

"You caught the flaw in the 'Gangqi Prison', Mastery +17"

"Battle Comprehension, 'Royal Flow: Collapse' Mastery +14"

「.」

Like the previous two battles with the shadow, with his own battles, Ji Xun's skill proficiency skyrocketed.

Not only did he see his shortcomings, but his understanding of martial arts also reached a new level.

It feels like two selves cultivating at the same time, and then all the perceptions converge on the ontology.

Dangerous and wonderful experience.

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

“.”

The two of them fought very fiercely in the room.

On the steel frame on the top, Nanjing also couldn't take his eyes off it.

This Miss Pill Head realized that the friend she hadn't seen for a long time had become so powerful.

There are endless methods, even her current vision is dumbfounded.

From the beginning of this battle, when there was this bystander, Ji Xun was destined not to die.

However, with the intervention of outsiders, the reward will be much less.

So Nanjing also listened to Ji Xun's instructions and never made a move.

She just watched.

watched Ji Xun fight with his shadow for two hours.

Both sides are gluttonous breathing methods, and they have spell power and recovery abilities that far surpass those of the same level.

It seems to be tireless, a vicious battle from beginning to end.

Nanjing also saw that Ji Xun was taking this opportunity to spy on his flaws and weaknesses and comprehend new things.

The more the battle is fought, the higher Ji Xun's skill proficiency becomes.

And at a certain moment, the turning point of the battle appeared.

Suddenly, the enlightenment refreshed: "Battle comprehension, Draw Heavenly Fall proficiency +14, you have comprehended the supernatural power 'Natural Disaster: Earth Sound'!"

At that moment, a different color suddenly appeared on Ji Xun's expressionless face: "It's done!" ”

Actual combat is the best shortcut to improve martial arts.

Gong Wu said that most of his stunts were realized by accident.

Really!

These words were now fulfilled.

The Divine Power Fragment [Natural Disaster: Earth Sound], which had never been able to get started before, caught the inspiration of that moment by chance in this high-intensity battle.

Ji Xun did not hesitate to spend some of his life and dragged the battle until now.

Just waiting for this opportunity.

He's waited!

"Hahaha"

The depression in Ji Xun's heart was swept away.

The shadow will have some things that he can't, and in the same way, if he wants to kill the shadow, he has to use some things that the other party can't.

This newly obtained [Earth Sound] supernatural power is very suitable.

At the moment of comprehension, Ji Xun punched the shadow.

The shadow of the violence in his eyes was still immersed in that crazy state of battle.

It thought it was the same as before, thinking that even if it resisted a hard blow, it would be able to recover instantly.

Even regardless of the injury, I want to exchange the injury for the injury.

However, unexpectedly, Ji Xun's punch exploded, and the strange gravitational force lingering on the fist suddenly exploded.

Hitting in the air, it seemed to shatter a piece of transparent glass, and I saw that the void was cracked with a trace of white light.

"Fist Ground Ringing!"

Ji Xun saw that the shadow was really fooled, his expression suddenly froze, and the gravitational volcano accumulated in his fist burst out like an eruption.

"Click!"

The sound of the cracks in the earthquake and landslides is shocking.

The shadow was dumbfounded, and he didn't expect Ji Xun to make such an incomprehensible punch.

But if you want to react to dodge, it's too late.

The force of this punch not only covered the surface of the fist, but also a large area of space nearby, which was shattered at the same time.

The winner was decided in an instant.

The supernatural level martial arts triggered the law of natural disasters, and it was as if the mirror was shattered, and the shadow in the mirror was also torn apart.

Killed?

Wrong!

However, before Ji Xun could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly sensed his shadow, and a "qi" appeared in an instant!

"Not dead!"

Ji Xun's pupils shrank sharply.

Although I don't know what secret method Shadow used to dodge the fatal blow just now.

But from the moment he comprehended [Earth Ming], no matter how much this high-level shadow struggled, he had no chance of winning.

What's more, Ji Xun didn't give it a chance to attack at all.

Without hesitation, he threw another punch, and the void where the "qi" was located was shattered into pieces.

The second kill, Enlightenment prompted: "Kill the 'Advanced Mirror Clone' to obtain the exclusive secret method 'Joker's Shadow Trick*1'"

"Huh"

Ji Xun screamed with two punches in succession, draining most of the mana power he had just accumulated.

I just wanted to take a breath to relieve the pressure on my heart, but when I looked at the booklet on the corpse and suddenly my expression lit up.

A soft sigh.

【Joker's Shadow Trick】

Details: JOKER class sequence-exclusive talent ability; After use, condense a shadow clone that can share perception and some abilities; The shadow can be superimposed on the ontology to perceive, comprehend, and cultivate progress 100%; Comes with skill [Shadow Double], immunity from critical hits;

"It's an exclusive secret method?"

Ji Xun was stunned for a moment when he looked at it.

Although he had thought that killing a high-level shadow would bring a high reward.

But I didn't expect to get JOKER's exclusive secret method.

"So, that shadow dodged the fatal blow just now, is this stand-in ability used?"

Ji Xun looked at the introduction of the secret method, and his eyes were slightly frozen.

This. Life-saving magic!

And Ji Xun also saw another important point: can the shadow be superimposed with 100% understanding?

"In other words, I can let the shadow cultivate in the future and do other things on my own? Or do you practice at the same time, double the effect? Or is 1+1 greater than 2? ”

Ji Xun didn't know if this secret method was what he understood.

But no matter what, this is just right for him who has now mastered the mystical methods of multiple demons!

Before, I felt that there were too many things to learn, and I didn't have enough skills, but now the shadows can practice together.

Proper and exclusive magic skills!
