Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 219: Drums sound, heads roll

"Old man, if you want me dead, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush like this?"

Xiao Ran had a gloomy face. He went up to the building and beat the drum in public. Wasn't it obvious that he was trying to kill himself?

By then, none of the Changchun Society, that gang of underworld bosses, or even the local tyrants and the Wuxiantang will let him go.

"Why should I kill you? I'm not some bloodthirsty devil?"

Li Jingqi looked innocent.

If Xiao Ran hadn't seen the contents on the mural, he would have almost believed it.

"What if I don't go?"

"Forget about going. I'll go by myself. But I can't help you with the mark on your shoulder."

Li pointed at Xiao Ran's shoulder in surprise. Xiao Ran's face changed when he heard that and he immediately opened his collar to take a look.

There was a big handprint on his shoulder, and the skin around the handprint was swollen.

“Iron Sand Palm!!”

When Xiao Ran heard this, veins on his forehead bulged. He had seen this thing before. It was the unique skill of the old man of the Sun family. He had seen a corpse in the charity cemetery before. It was the person who was slapped to death by the old man of the Sun family.

I didn't expect that Li Qijing also knew this unique skill.

"Why are you staring so wide-eyed? It's not a difficult skill to learn. You can find out how to practice it by asking around."

Li surprised and said calmly.

What he said was true. Although Iron Sand Palm was a powerful martial art, it was not some secret that could not be passed on. Even a fake move could be explained to you in detail.

It's nothing more than using your fingers to poke millet first, then practice for a few years and then switch to rice, corn, sand, iron sand... and then upgrade step by step.

It is not difficult, but there are really few people in the world who can master it. The reason is that the difficulty of Iron Sand Palm lies in the secret recipe.

Without the secret recipe for medicinal wine, ordinary people would end up with their hands disabled if they tried.

As long as you have the recipe, it is not difficult to practice this set of Iron Sand Palm. The secret recipes of each family are different, and the effects after practicing are also different.

The mark on Xiao Ran's shoulder was obviously different from the mark he had seen in the charity cemetery before.

It was as if a force was conquering him from within, the poison in his palm condensed and did not dissipate, but instead felt as if it was gathering inwards like a poisonous sore.

"It won't kill you right now, as the poison is only under your skin. But if you can't find a way to remove the poison in a short while, once the poison gets stronger and the boils spread, you'll die."

Li Qijing narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Ran and said.

"Why do you insist on holding on to me?" Xiao Ran looked bitter. This thing was not a curse from the cursed object. It would be difficult for him to use the cursed object to detoxify it.

"You and I are destined to be together."

"Bad fate, huh?"

The old man and the young man walked towards the Drum Tower while talking. When they were close to the Drum Tower, Li Jingqi stopped walking and found a stone to sit down: "Go ahead, when you hit the drum, I will tell you how to detoxify."

Xiao Ran stared at Li Jingqi, holding a knife in one hand. He stared at Li Jingqi for a while and asked, "Grandpa, please don't go back on your word."

"One spit, one nail!"

Xiao Ran sighed, turned around, holding the knife, and walked towards the Drum Tower.

On both sides of the Drum Tower, pairs of eyes had been roaming around like hungry wolves, closely watching any movement around them.

In the tea shed, the tea had been brewed over and over again so many times that not even the slightest tea flavor could be tasted. As it was getting dark and there was no sign of Li Jingqi, everyone was already getting a little impatient.

At this time, Xiao Ran came over with big strides. When everyone saw Xiao Ran, they just glanced at him and no one paid any attention to him.

Most people have never seen Li Jingqi, but they all know that Li Jingqi is an old man and not young anymore. This is why these old gang members dare to stay here.

As the saying goes, a young and strong fist is better than a master, and a sword can kill the master.

What kind of waves can an old man who is already unknown how old cause? Even if it is rumored that he is a land immortal, it is all exaggeration. Who still believes in immortals these days? They only believe that Li Jingqi is carrying a huge treasure, otherwise the Five Immortals Hall would not risk breaking the rules to come find him.

So when they saw Xiao Ran, everyone's first reaction was to treat this child as just passing by.

However, Liu Sanxiang and others from the Changchun Society noticed him first.

"Strange, why does he come at this time? Where are the others?" Liu Sanxiang frowned.

"Isn't this guy also Zhao Qingming's brother? Otherwise, we..."

Someone stared at Xiao Ran's figure and made a gesture as if he was wiping his neck.

"No, this man has already woken up. He can still be of great use to us, as long as he doesn't become our enemy..."

Before Liu Sanxiang could finish his words, another person asked in surprise, "Why is he upstairs?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sanxiang and the others quickly picked up their binoculars and took a look. As expected, they saw Xiao Ran walking straight up the Drum Tower. They immediately looked strange and said, "Is he crazy? We can't go up this building."

The steps on both sides of the Drum Tower were not high. An ordinary person could climb up them in one breath, let alone Xiao Ran.

As soon as Xiao Ran stepped onto the stairs, more than ten pairs of eyes around him looked towards him.

"Boy, stop right there!!"

Someone saw Xiao Ran walking up and immediately stood up and shouted.

Xiao Ran couldn't care less. He felt as if a toad had crawled on his shoulder, and his stomach was growling bigger and bigger. "You're looking for death!!"

Seeing Xiao Ran going up the stairs regardless of anything, someone couldn't sit still anymore. A woman in a grey cloak jumped up from downstairs, stepped on the gap in the wall, jumped onto the top of the wall in one step, pulled out two iron whips and hit Xiao Ran on the back.

The iron whip was only three feet long. The whip handle was wrapped with colorful ribbons and had an iron ring on it. It made a whistling sound in the woman's hand.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind coming from behind, Xiao Ran knew that the person coming was going to kill him. His face darkened, and he dodged the sneak attack by moving sideways, then grabbed the iron whip with one hand as fast as lightning.

However, he didn't expect that although the other party was a woman, her methods were not bad at all. Seeing Xiao Ran grabbing an iron whip with one hand, she immediately let go of her hand, and at the same time, hit the whip with the iron whip in the other hand.

"Bang!" The iron whips collided with each other, making a sound like metal exploding. The huge recoil force attacked along the whip, forcing Xiao Ran to let go immediately.

The woman took the opportunity to snatch the iron whip, and both whips came out like a dragon sweeping towards Xiao Ran.

"it is good!"

The people below saw it with all their heart. They had been sitting there all day with a lot of anger held in their stomachs. But when they saw the woman's methods, they cheered loudly, trying to get rid of their anger.

This woman had an unusual origin. Her name was Tieshi Niang and she was from Shanxi. She used the Yushe Overlord Whip.

"Tie Shi Niang's whip skills are truly masterful. She is the number one female hero in Shanxi." Some people took the opportunity to build momentum for Tie Shi Niang and take this chance to gain fame.

But before he could finish his words, Xiao Ran suddenly pulled out his [Guillotine]. The blade swirled and emitted a cold light. Then a head flew up from the drum tower and landed directly in front of the companion of this iron-hearted woman.

Looking at Tie Shi Niang's head, everyone fell silent for a moment. There was still a look of horror on Tie Shi Niang's face, her eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

"Miss!!"

Seeing his wife being killed, the bearded man next to him picked up a big knife, jumped onto the stairs with a Dengyunzong move, and rushed towards Xiao Ran in three or two steps.

"Ah, my!" The bearded man screamed strangely, looking ferocious and ferocious, which was very scary.

But Xiao Ran had no time to waste with these people. Seeing the man rushing towards him, he raised the sword in his hand. The five-ring sword was incredibly fast. He drew out the sword and put it away in one go. With a "bang", the man and the sword were cut into two pieces.

After killing two people in a row, everyone downstairs was dumbfounded.

They all whispered to each other: "Who is this person???"

"Never heard of it?"

"He looks quite young, why is he so fierce?"

"He is not a person of my righteous path!"

Everyone was talking about it, but they saw Xiao Ran actually kicked open the door of the upper room of the Drum Tower.

This drum tower is not very big, and there is a wooden gate hall on top.

The door was kicked open and there was a big drum inside.

Tongtian drum.

The name of this drum has been passed down since the Tang Dynasty.

But it’s definitely not the drum. It’s hard to say what year this drum is from, but it’s definitely not small.

The drumhead is two meters in diameter and weighs a thousand kilograms. There are 1,300 nails nailed around the drum body, which is surprisingly large.

Xiao Ran picked up the drumstick below and swung his arm towards it.

"Boom!!"

The dull drumbeat was like a thunder in a clear sky, and everyone looked in Xiao Ran's direction in horror.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Xiao Ran continued to beat the drum, and the sound of the drum spread throughout the streets and alleys of Los Angeles in an instant.

I don't know who shouted downstairs.

"Go upstairs and beat the drum! This guy is Li Jingqi's accomplice, catch him!!"

As the words fell, several figures rushed towards the Drum Tower.

Xiao Ran threw away the drumstick in his hand, turned around and picked up the [Guillotine]. The dark red curse pattern wrapped around the blade along his palm, making the sword emit a dark red murderous intent.

Before the man rushed in, Xiao Ran had already rushed to the door. The sound of bells jingling from his sword made his way up and he swung the sword like an arrow. Rumbling, the wind from the sword was accompanied by a dull explosion.

Everyone only felt a strong wind coming, like a whirlpool, with a buzzing sound in their ears, and their consciousness and body seemed to be stirred by an invisible vortex.

Before he could come to his senses, the blade had already cut through his neck.

"Puff puff……"

In an instant, heads were flying everywhere and blood was pouring down like rain.

Someone was rushing behind, not knowing what was happening in front. He only saw heads flying up and hot blood splashing on his face. Then he was frightened and turned around to run.

But at this time, there was a whistling sound behind him. Xiao Ran had already rushed down, with the knife flashing from his feet to his head, and rising upwards. The murderous aura was like a vicious tiger coming down the mountain, making people feel their scalp numbing and difficulty breathing.

Li Jingqi was watching this scene from a distance, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but praise: "After Wang Wu, the big knife, this kid's swordsmanship is the best."

After he finished speaking, a look of regret appeared on his face: "What a pity, my bones are still a little lacking, just like Wang Wu, I lack a breath of innate energy. If I don't have the opportunity, my swordsmanship will be at its limit at this point..."
