Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 221: Crossroads, Five Immortals Open Hall

Li's surprised words may surprise people.

But the first thing that came to Xiao Ran’s mind was the grave with the words “Li Qiqi’s Tomb” engraved on it.

"Did Li Jingqi really die in the end?"

Xiao Ran felt a little doubtful and looked at the old man in front of him again.

"This guy, it might be an exaggeration to say that he is a land immortal, but it's almost the same to say that he is a half-immortal. He just died like this?"

But this also seemed to solve a doubt of mine.

So he asked, "So, you didn't return the item for all these years just because you can't take off this bracelet?"

Li Jingqi lowered his head and looked at Xiao Ran. Seeing that Xiao Ran was not surprised at all when he heard what he said, he was very surprised: "Can't you care about my life or death first?"

"Want to hear the truth?"

"No!" Li Jingqi shook his head. He had lived to such an old age, but whenever someone asked him this question...

Don't listen!!
If you don’t listen, you will regret it for a moment. If you listen, you will regret it for a lifetime.

"Then let's talk about the bracelet."

"Whether you can pick it or not, it all comes down to whether you want to or not. But when you are alive, who would complain about living too long?"

"Then you now..."

"I got old and it fell off on its own."

Xiao Ran: ...

The bracelet couldn't be taken off at the moment, so Xiao Ran wanted to find a piece of cloth to cover it directly, but Li Jingqi seemed to have seen through her thoughts and pointed to the building in the distance; "Is that your friend over there?"

Xiao Ran looked in the direction Li Jingqi pointed.

He had excellent eyesight and although it was dark he could see more clearly than during the day. He could see Liu Sanxiang and others standing on the roof at a glance.

He smiled and waved in their direction, then turned around and said, "Enemy, old man, I have helped you so much, why don't you help me too."

In fact, his original plan was to find a way to lure Li Jingqi to Liu Sanxiang and others, so as to divert the trouble away and cut off the source of the Changchun Society's support.

But it's no use now. The powder keg under his butt has exploded. No matter it is the Changchun Society, the Wuxiantang, or even the local bosses like Zhou and Yang, they will not let him go.

The best outcome would be that Zhou, Yang and other elders would remember their old friendship and ask him to get out of Los Angeles.

But the people on the other two sides probably won't let me off so easily.

Since the secret approach doesn't work, let's do it openly.

"It's simple. When you get old, it's okay to move your hands and feet."

Xiao Ran did not make any requests, but the old and the young already understood each other's requirements tacitly.

"Strange, what are they talking about?"

Liu Sanxiang looked at Xiao Ran and Li Weiqi through the telescope, wondering what kind of agreement the two had reached.

"Shanlong, this friend is quite capable and a very good person. Even Li Jingqi was fooled by him. It shows that he is very charming."

"Li Jingqi put a bracelet on his hand, which looked unusual. I remember that the profession of crosstalk seems to have a natural affinity. Could this kid be a crosstalk artist?"

"Bullshit, your crosstalk artist is killing people with a knife like he's chopping vegetables."

Shan Long was also shocked by Xiao Ran's social skills, thinking: "This guy is simply a social slut, accepting everyone who comes, young and old, and attracting everyone. Damn, what a talent."

Just wondering how to deal with this social slut... Ugh!

When social talents are recruited into the Changchun Club.

"Mountain Dragon! They're separated!"

"Separated?"

Shanlong came to his senses, picked up the telescope and looked. Xiao Ran was carrying a big knife and walking towards the east. But where was Li Weiqi?
Shanlong looked around but couldn't find Li Jingqi. It was as if this guy had disappeared out of thin air.

"We are now..."

"Go, notify Group 3 and Group 4 to find Li Jingqi. We and Group 2 will follow this guy. Also notify Group 1 to find Zhao Qingming and the others as soon as possible and kill them all. This is a good opportunity that must not be missed."

Shanlong quickly issued an order and called one of his brothers, "Notify Jinniu and tell him to hurry up and meet up with them after dealing with Hu San and the others. We must first figure out who the leader is!"

Everyone nodded and took action immediately.

Shan Long then picked up the telescope again and watched Xiao Ran walking quickly up the street. He silently gave this brother a thumbs up in his heart: "You have guts. Let's see if you can survive next."

Going up the street, you can see the octagonal pavilion standing in front of you not far away.

A three-story building is considered a relatively tall building in this era.

Although it is called star anise, there are actually more than eight corners, it’s just that it’s easier to pronounce.

The gate faces the crossroads, which is a good Feng Shui location for doing business.

There is a sign on it that says "Clothing Store".

When Xiao Ran got here, he had to slow down. It was pitch black all around him, and he didn't know how many people were staring at him through the inconspicuous cracks in the door and windows.

What he did in the Drum Tower must have spread by now. Whether it was for revenge for his relatives and friends in the Drum Tower or for the bracelet on his wrist, this group of people would definitely not let him leave alive.

I have to admit that I accepted a benefit from Li Jingqi, but this benefit was not easy to get.

"Xiao Zhenye!!"

At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly heard a light shout in his ears.

Xiao Ran paused as the shouting in his ears was getting closer.

"Soul-calling technique?"

Xiao Ran half-closed his eyes and sneered in his heart. He had no idea where this person got his name from. He was hiding in the dark and calling for his soul.

Unfortunately, although Xiao Ran was not an expert in this art, he had learned the art of calling back souls from the corpse of Qu Waerye (a beggar), and also learned the art of capturing souls from the corpse of Hu San's fairy, a fox spirit.

I am not an expert in either, but I do understand the tricks involved.

This kind of technique is not afraid of you knowing it, but it is afraid of you understanding the tricks.

Just like magic, even if you can't achieve the magician's hand speed, as long as you know the tricks of the magic, you can easily figure it out.

"Xiao Zhenye!!"

The voice came again, and this time it made Xiao Ran feel out of his wits. Xiao Ran pretended to be stiff, and staggered with the knife in his hand, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Seeing this, several people in the shadows couldn't help but pick up their weapons and moved closer to Xiao Ran.

"resemble……"

At the moment when the third soul-calling sound came, Xiao Ran suddenly opened his eyelids and shouted with all his strength: "Grandpa is here!!"

While shouting, Xiao Ran opened his mouth towards the direction of the sound and spit out a breath of corpse gas.

This corpse qi is exactly the Fox family's signature skill [Damaging Divine Wind].

I saw the corpse gas coming out as if being pulled by a force and rushing into the alley next to it. Immediately afterwards, a scream was heard from the alley, and a figure stumbled out, covering his throat with both hands, his face turned pale.

After rushing out of the alley, he struggled to rush towards Xiao Ran, but he fell heavily to the ground after taking a few steps. His whole body twitched uncontrollably, and he stopped breathing in an instant.

"idiot!"

Xiao Ran was not surprised by this result. The most feared thing about soul calling is being discovered. Every soul calling is actually a kind of energy recovery. Once the other party notices this flaw, they can use this characteristic to directly attack the other party.

Even if you don't have the ability of [Damaging Divine Wind], you can still use other means, such as cursed objects, talismans, or the simplest way, just drink a sip of liquor and spit out a ball of fire. If you are in worse conditions, you can bite the tip of your tongue and a mouthful of blood from the tip of your tongue can also break it, but the damage is a bit low.

If Xiao Ran exhaled this corpse gas, the opponent would be caught off guard and die on the spot.

Seeing the unlucky guy lying on the ground, the few people who had originally planned to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Ran while he was unconscious were suddenly dumbfounded.

Holding the knife, he couldn't know whether to go forward or retreat, and was stuck in a stalemate for a while.

They were frozen, but Xiao Ran was not. Seeing that this group of people had jumped out from corners, Xiao Ran was not going to be polite to them. He rushed forward and chopped at them with his sword.

There are no special moves, just a simple slash of sword to split Mount Huashan. With the power added of up to 45 points, this terrifying power alone is already a deadly weapon in the world.

The opponent sensed the danger and instinctively raised his blade to block, but ended up being cut in half along with the blade.

"Fight!!"

A man roared and rushed over with the Zen stick in his hand raised. Xiao Ran didn't even bother to look at him, and hit him with the back of the knife.

"boom!!"

The knife didn't hurt him, but he flew three meters away. The staff in his hand was deformed. He barely supported himself and didn't fall to the ground, but his internal organs were shattered.

Seeing Xiao Ran's head falling to the ground in an instant, a long sigh could be heard from a distance: "Zhen Ye!!"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Ran frowned, and saw a pair of dark red eyes piercing through the darkness in the alley in front of him. A middle-aged man with a big black face and a big beard slowly walked out of the alley.

He is the eldest master of the Liu family, Liu Sanxiang's nominal father, the fourth master of the Liu family, Liu Puppet Master.

After Liu Kuishou came out, he stared at the bracelet on Xiao Ran's wrist, with a gleam of brilliance in his scarlet eyes.

"So he gave this thing to you!!"

Liu Kui Shou said, and stretched out his palm towards Xiao Ran: "Give it to me!"

Xiao Ran looked at the bracelet on his wrist and said, "What if I don't give it to you?" He then shook the [Guillotine] in his hand.

Liu Kuishou took two steps back and his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows again.

As Liu Kuishou's figure gradually disappeared, the surrounding light seemed to be obscured along with his voice.

Even with Xiao Ran's good eyesight, he could only watch the streets in the distance gradually being swallowed up by the darkness.

The story of Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather and giving one gift to another is considered a idiot in this era.

Liu Kuishou and the others would never do such a thing. Moreover, they had just witnessed the strength of this kid. With that swordsmanship, Liu Kuishou felt that he might not be able to survive more than three moves before his head was chopped off.

Facing such a master, even the elders like Liu Kuishou did not dare to be arrogant. They only heard Liu Kuishou's voice coming from the darkness.

"This is for Li Jingqi, but since it's with you, you should take the blame for him."
