Chapter 237 The decisive battle is approaching, Jorina's return
Mount Tai stands tall and towering, and the sky is covered with a sea of blood-colored clouds.
Chi You sat high on the throne, his dark red eyes under his bronze helmet looking down at the submissive Chaos.
Chaos has no face, its shape is like a round ball, but its wings and four legs are very flexible, and it is conveying messages to Chi You in the form of dance.
The scene was very strange. Di Xin, who was standing aside, silently observed Chi You, but saw that his arm on the throne was shaking slightly, as if he was restraining his anger.
Chi You was furious inside.
Lu Bu and Qiong Qi betrayed him because of their nature. Chi You scorned them and did not bother to pursue them.
Xiang Yu is in line with his own wishes. If he is willing to accept his own power, he will definitely become a strong man comparable to the gods. However, he is full of arrogance and rejects himself, and Chi You can accept it.
However, his old general, Xing Tian, who was also an enemy of the Yellow Emperor, actually refused his solicitation, and even seemed to have a fierce arrogance that he wanted to attack him.
Is there no subordinate in this world who can be trusted?
Thinking of this, Chi You was so angry that he put his palms hard on the armrest of the throne, making a "click" sound.
The copper armrests of the throne were made of Jiuli copper and were extremely solid. However, at this moment, they were pinched and deformed by Chi You's giant palm.
Di Xin couldn't understand the dance of Chaos, but he could also see Chi You's irritability at this time. Thinking about it, what Chaos brought would not be good news.
While thinking about it, Emperor Xin felt the pressure like Mount Tai, his expression became extremely serious, and he looked up at Chi You on the throne.
I saw a substantial dark red source of power pouring out from Chi You's body, rushing straight into the sky, stirring up the sea of blood-colored clouds.
The leader of the Jiuli tribe, who was sitting high on the throne, spoke slowly, with a terrifying sense of oppression like a giant from ancient times:
"One by one, the ants have betrayed me, and they still want to join hands to deal with me. It's extremely ridiculous!"
He actually stood up slowly, the metal armor on his body expanded, five giant arms stretched out from behind, and he pulled out five Chi You Five Soldiers of different shapes from the blood-colored sea of clouds, and clenched them boldly in his hands.
"I want to take back the treasure and fight in person -"
Chi You was like a demon with three heads and six arms, with five arms behind him waving weapons, a fist in front of him was suddenly clenched, and the sound under his helmet was as dull as thunder.
"Use their corpses to stop the flow of the Yellow River!"
Di Xin's heart trembled.
The leader of the army actually wanted to fight in person. This was no less than the second ‘Battle of Zhuolu’!
The reason for going to war was actually to regain the treasure He spoke of.
What exactly is that treasure?
Emperor Xin stood in the middle of the fishy wind that seemed to come from the sea of blood and corpses, his eyes flickered slightly, and he secretly plotted.
"Chi You actually wanted to fight in person, regardless of the risk. Can I get that treasure..."
…
Lin Xiao examined the second 'immortal skeleton'.
It is similar to the humerus of a normal adult male's left arm, but its texture is subtly different from the first bone.
If the bones harvested by the Federation were as withered as a piece of dead wood, then the bones obtained from Xingtian were like a piece of metal and would make a "bang bang" sound when struck.
I took a look at it with the identification function of the Card Master's Guide, and there is no doubt that it is genuine.
Lin Xiao placed the skeleton on his left arm and gestured, then tried to inject source power, but nothing happened, so he put the skeleton into the storage card again.
When fighting against the big red dragon Satan, a giant golden arm emerged from the first skeleton.
However, that was when he was in danger, and he was no different from a withered skeleton on weekdays.
The second skeleton obtained may have some special activation conditions like the former.
Lin Xiao didn't care much. After all, there was no need to use the power of immortal bones against Chi You.
Originally, when he first arrived in Zhongzhou, Lin Xiao was worried that he would not be able to defeat Chi You.
This is indeed the case.
As the Central Continent God of War in the Middle Ages, Chi You definitely possesses peak eighth-level strength even in today's era when laws are weakened.
But as his men and the envoys he summoned were bribed by him one by one, Chi You's threat became smaller and smaller.
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment.
To be honest, just having Xing Tian coming to fight to the death would be enough for Chi You...
*
The World Championship is still in full swing.
Thanks to Dafu's outstanding performance, Lin Xiao successfully advanced to the top 16.
The final full list of the top 16 will be announced soon.
Xiang Yu has withdrawn from the World Series because he is running out of time.
When Lin Xiao was learning boxing with him, Xiang Yu once said that he could clearly feel the decline of his vitality.
Lin Xiao also knew that he must seize the time and carry out the plan to attack Chi You.
The destination is very clear, it is the secret place of Mount Tai, and it can be easily found by letting Qiongqi lead the way.
As they prepare for the World Series, the Central Continent Alliance is also preparing its final battle plan with Chi You.
Fortunately, this decisive battle was no longer a one-on-one fight, but a group fight against Chi You.
September 27, Thursday afternoon.
As usual, Lin Xiao came to the guest house in the imperial capital and continued to learn boxing skills from Xiang Yu.
After nearly a week of training, Lin Xiao's fighting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and even the arrogant Overlord couldn't help but sigh.
He was originally at a disadvantage when sparring with him, and now it was even more difficult to defeat Lin Xiao.
The garden inside the guest house is quiet and pleasant, and the paths lead to the martial arts field at the back.
Lin Xiao was walking on the road and met the staff who were talking excitedly. When he asked, he found out that Jiang Shang was fishing next to the artificial lake in the garden.
Just as she wanted to discuss the details of the decisive battle plan with him, Lin Xiao turned around and saw the figure sitting on a pony fishing in the distance, walking slowly away.
Jiang Shang glanced at Lin Xiao beside him and said with a smile: "Master Wu Quxing, are you here to fish too... It's so elegant."
After being snatched away by the other party, Lin Xiao joked: "I just came to see you, I'm afraid you didn't catch another fish."
Jiang Shang looked helpless and shook the fish bucket at his feet. There was nothing in it.
Lin Xiao changed the topic and expressed his intention: "Will you participate in the next World Series?"
"Participate." Jiang Shang looked at the buoy on the lake and sighed, "Although I am reluctant... but it is also part of my job to show the strength of the sanctuary."
"Are there any strong men from other countries who have entered the holy realm?" Lin Xiao asked.
It has been a month since I broke the rules in the desert that day.
Jiang Shang was the first to break through. Under the guidance of Marquis Wen, Lu Lingqiu was only half a step away from the holy realm. Naturally, people from other countries would also break through.
"This kind of trump card will only be revealed on the playing field, and will only be hidden on weekdays."
Jiang Shang looked at the lake, calmed down his expression, and said slowly: "But, there are always clues to be found..."
Turning his head, Jiang Shang looked at Lin Xiao and said:
"The Augustus who fought against you that day, when I talked with her a few days ago, I could clearly feel her improvement in strength."
"There is also King of Glory Charlie... He has been recognized by the 'Sword in the Lake'. He was originally the best among many 'unparalleled national warriors'. Now I think he will not be too far behind."
Jiang Shang's eyes turned back to the buoy on the lake and said casually:
"The last one is the seeded player listed in this year's Salo Nation report, and has directly advanced to the top 16."
"It's not a name I'm familiar with, but it's a newcomer. It's said that he's being watched by the gods of Sharo, and he also has the level of the Holy Realm..."
Lin Xiao's heart moved and she asked: "Who is it?"
"Who are you asking about?"
"The seed player of Sarao Kingdom." Lin Xiao said patiently.
Jiang Shang looked at Lin Xiao doubtfully, thought for a while, stood up, took out the senior phone from the storage card, checked it, and said:
"It's a female card master who showed off her talents in Salo this year, her name is Jolene Jones..."
Lin Xiao looked at the sparkling ripples in the middle of the lake, the scenery was pleasant, the lake and the pavilion complement each other, but Jiang Shang noticed a change and asked:
"Is he your friend?"
Lin Xiao didn't shy away from it either: "Old acquaintance in the Federation."
Jiang Shang understood and nodded:
"He is a card master who uses Tarot cards as his system. His strength should not be underestimated."
Tarot cards... It seems that Jolina's trip to the Kingdom of Salo was fruitful.
Since she has also participated in the World Series, we will see each other again sooner or later.
"I understand." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I will pay attention to these opponents... I will go to the martial arts field first."
Jiang Shang looked back at Lin Xiao's slightly brisk steps, shook his head in confusion, and continued fishing with concentration.
The lake surface reflects the skylight and cloud shadows.
The white clouds floated leisurely, falling into the ruby-like eyes.
Jolina sat on a wooden chair in the courtyard of her home after a long absence, and glanced at the sky, as if she felt a little strange.
The black cat lost a lot of weight. He crouched on the small round table, lowered his head and picked up a small cake from the dessert plate. He chewed it while wagging his tail. After swallowing it, he made a mature female voice:
"You're not used to it when you get home?"
"Sara won't have such a clear sky." Jolina put her arm against the small round table and her left hand against the side of her face. Her exposed neck and wrist were tanned a lot, revealing her unique beauty.
"That's true." Cat God Buster agreed, "At least where we go, there are sandstorms every day."
Jolina glanced at the cat god, as if saying, 'I don't know who caused it.' She leaned back on the chair, folded her arms, and lowered her gaze, as if she was deep in thought.
"But the reward and the risk are directly proportional." The black cat swallowed another small cake, wiped the debris on his beard with his paws with satisfaction, and said in a lazy voice, "You have got the 'pull' gaze,
A little sandstorm is nothing."
Qiao Linna's red eyes flickered slightly and she said softly: "It's been such a long journey..."
The story starts a month ago.
At the beginning, the tarot card collection mission went smoothly. Jolina solved a famous killer in the Card Faller organization and continued to improve her deck.
But later on, the card-destroying masters I met became more and more powerful. One of the card-destroying masters even received the power given by the evil god Set. He could use the power of "desert" and "storm". With the help of sandstorms, Jolina was once
Lost with the Cat God.
During the separation process, out of kindness, Jolina rescued the girl who was captured by a group of card-dropping masters and escorted her back to the village.
But the girl took a fancy to Jolina's left eye and wanted to use the resurrection power of the legendary 'Eye of Horus' to resurrect her lover, so she attacked Jolina at night.
As a result, she was subdued by Jolina, who was still conscious. Since the girl was just an ordinary person and had not awakened the fire, Jolina, as a card master, did not kill the girl.
Jolina said that she inherited her left eye and did not have the resurrection ability of the 'right eye of Horus', but she was willing to accompany the girl to pay homage to her lover's grave.
When approaching the cemetery, Jolina was chased by the card-droppers who had been following her, so she asked the girl to escape first. After dealing with the group of card-droppers, when she returned to the cemetery, she found that the girl had committed suicide out of guilt and left a tarot card for herself.
'Lover'.
Later, when they met with the Cat God, the two talked about this matter, and the Cat God asked: "Did you know from the beginning that she was the Love Card?"
"I didn't expect it at first, I just thought she was an ordinary person with evil intentions." Jolina's tone was cold, "I remember you said that the Lover card will only appear if you are willing... So I didn't kill her, and even proposed
I need to take her to the cemetery."
"But you still rescued her at the beginning and fulfilled her wish in the end."
The Cat God shook his tail and said with a smile: "Although Jolina looks fierce, she has a heart as kind as gold."
"whispering sound……"
"Oh, why are you blushing?"
In the church dedicated to the sun god ‘Ra’, Jolina encountered the last enemy, who held the last Major Arcana card ‘World’ and had the ability of ‘equal sacrifice’.
Through the sacrifice, the card-dropping master summoned the 'evil god Set' to come to his body, becoming a half-human, half-evil god monster.
In the midst of a fierce battle, the cat god Buster cut "Set"'s throat with a sword in his mouth, and he himself was on the verge of death.
Jolina requested the statue of Ra, the Lord of the Sun and the Underworld, and expressed her willingness to use the power of sacrifice from the "World" card to keep Buster alive.
The 'Lord of the Sun and the Underworld' returned Jolina's gaze and lowered the right eye of the 'Eye of Horus', making Jolina's inheritance complete.
The right eye of Horus has the power of resurrection, but the price is extremely high. It will deprive the user of the five senses and even life depending on the degree.
Fortunately, Jolina entered the sanctuary with the 'Eye of Horus' and was able to pay the price of resurrecting Buster.
Collect a complete set of Tarot cards, get the attention of the Creator, and successfully enter the sanctuary.
Jolina's trip to Sharo came to an end, and she returned to the Federation with the Cat God.
When she heard that the registration for the World Series had closed, Jolina felt a little regretful.
However, due to her outstanding performance in Salo, the Salo League provided Jolina with a seed player spot, allowing her to directly advance to the top 16 of the World Series.
Jolina accepted, and so there was this scene of her sitting at home, drinking tea and talking to the cat god.
"It's been a long journey," Jolina said.
"Although it's long, it's also very rewarding." Cat God said, "You are the youngest eighth-level saint today."
"Some people may already be looking for opportunities at the ninth level."
"I know who you are talking about." The Cat God showed a kind smile and said slowly: "The ninth level is already the realm of the superior gods. I have never touched the ninth level in the medieval era. Even Anubis
It's just barely enough to reach the ninth level... In short, even if the end is coming, there is no need to rush."
Jolina was silent. She felt that Buster was right, but she still had an inexplicable obsession in her heart.
She took out a skeleton from the storage card and looked at it in her hand.
"I remember, this is the skeleton guarded by the Seth believer?" the Cat God said.
"Yes, at that time, he seemed to want to sacrifice the bone, but it seemed that even Seth was afraid of the power of the bone..."
After saying that, Jolina frowned slightly, looked at the bones in her hands, and fell into memories.
I remember that Lin Xiao seemed to be looking for something similar to it...
