Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 320: Using strength to defeat cleverness
As the word "kill" was uttered, a surge of murderous intent came over them, making everyone feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

They were all people who roamed the world and lived on the edge of a knife, but at this moment they were all frightened by the murderous intent.

Simply because this murderous intent was so pure, without any distractions.

It was like a gust of cold wind rushing straight to their heads, instantly chilling their hearts. Their originally angry mood that was about to explode was instantly cooled down.

What's more, Xiao Ran drew a line on the ground, and the sword energy penetrated three fingers deep. Many people present were masters of swordsmanship, and they asked themselves if they could do this.

Seeing that he had already shocked everyone, Xiao Ran was about to put away his knife and leave, but he didn't expect a sneer to come from the tavern: "What a great show!"

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of breaking wind in the air, and a golden rainbow came through the air at a slow speed. Xiao Ran wanted to block it with his knife, but when the golden rainbow got closer, he suddenly felt uneasy. The strong sense of crisis made Xiao Ran not block it with the knife. Instead, he put away the knife and raised his hand to wave his palm, which rolled up a palm wind and forcibly changed the direction of the golden rainbow and smashed it onto the horse post next to him.

"bump!!"

Then there was a loud bang and white dust exploded in the air.

Xiao Ran kept backing away, waving his sleeves, his face suddenly turned gloomy. This was quicklime powder, a despicable method.

If I had used a knife to block it just now, I would have been caught off guard and burned my eyes.

He hadn't even made a move to hurt anyone, but the other person was trying to blind his eyes first, which made him extremely angry.

His eyes narrowed, "You rat, get out of here!!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran leapt into the crowd at the tavern, waving his light golden cloak, and his [Gilded Cloak·Horizontal Refining] activated, surrounding Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran rushed in murderously, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. His violent murderous intent made it impossible for anyone to dodge and they fell down or retreated in an instant, making the whole room look in a mess.

At this moment, a thin figure in the crowd suddenly jumped up and ran straight to the window at the back.

"It's you!"

Xiao Ran didn't recognize the other person, but his intuition told him that the person who had just attacked him was this person.

Immediately, his feet performed strange and elusive light skills that drifted with the wind, and he caught up with the man in almost an instant.

Perhaps sensing the crisis behind him, his face changed drastically and he raised his hand and raised his sleeves.

"boom!"

Along with the sound of the mechanism launching, numerous hidden weapons shot out from the sleeves.

It was expected that at such a short distance, there was no way Xiao Ran could dodge, but when this person took a closer look, he saw that Xiao Ran did not dodge or evade at all, but just used his cloak to block in front of him, and with a casual wave, he blocked all the hidden weapons.

"die!"

The copper rings on the broadsword jingled, and amid the murderous intent, there seemed to be countless shouts for lives.

"Master, save me!!!"

As death approached, the thin figure screamed for help in panic.

"Buzz!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, the floor in front of Xiao Ran suddenly rose straight up to form a wall blocking him.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Xiao Ran's blade split the wall, the figure who had just escaped had disappeared.

"Please forgive others when you can, little brother, please give me some face."

A hoarse voice came from the innermost table in the tavern. Xiao Ran turned around and found an old man sitting behind the table.

Behind him stood a young man in his early twenties, hiding behind the old man and looking at Xiao Ran with horror.

Xiao Ran looked the old man up and down, unable to tell how deep he was. He snorted coldly, "Okay, cut off one of his arms and I'll spare him!"

He didn't blame the old man for protecting his own people. That's how the world is. There are more people who bully the weak than those who are generous and righteous.

But I don’t know this old man, why should I give him face?
The old man smiled and said nothing. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "What if I don't want to?"

"Then I'll send you both to hell!"

As Xiao Ranren said this, he rushed towards the two old men, but he didn't expect the old man sitting behind the table to put down his wine glass and knock it lightly on the table.

Immediately afterwards, several tables around seemed to be pulled over by some force, and they were put together to form a wall of tables, which began to rotate around Xiao Ran.

Immediately afterwards, tables, chairs and benches were thrown all over the pub, and blue bricks on the ground were lifted up.

The crowd who were originally watching the fun, when they came to their senses, found themselves standing outside the tavern for unknown reasons.

Some sharp-eyed people immediately realized that they were not being sent out, but the entire tavern had moved ten feet back out of thin air.

"The Qiankun Opera Hand! It turned out to be him!"

When someone saw this, they recognized it immediately and exclaimed.

"I'm really happy. I didn't expect that he would come too."

"It's been many years, I haven't heard of him walking around in the martial arts world. Rumor has it that he's already dead, how could he still be alive?"

Everyone looked at each other and said.

"Oh no, why is it him?"

Unlike everyone else, Dong Ruopu's mood fell to the bottom at this moment. His eyes seemed to be on fire, his face was full of anxiety, and he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

If this wasn't a trouble he had caused, how could Brother Xiao have provoked this person?

Dong Ruopu had a sad face. Although he was not a gangster, he knew all the gangsters well.

Qiankun Xi Shou is a well-known senior actor in the world of opera.

This play does not refer specifically to singing opera as it was later, but to magic tricks.

It is said that this man's methods were extraordinary. He once made a house disappear out of thin air in front of everyone in Chang'an.

The means of defying the will of heaven are so miraculous that people simply call it a miracle.

Later, it was said that this person made a bet with someone and lost one chip, and then disappeared, and no one heard of him again. But he didn't expect that this person was actually here, which made Dong Ruopu sweat coldly, because this owner was not a good person either.

He was once teased by someone, so he turned the other family into puppets. The most frightening thing is that after the family became puppets, their behavior was no different from ordinary people around them. Even when the family members went out to buy groceries, no one noticed anything.

However, this family often emits a foul smell, and no matter how hard people look, they cannot find the source of the smell.

Until a wandering monk passed by, saw the situation, and bowed in front of the door. When he explained the truth to everyone, the whole family fell to the ground as if their strings were cut off.

When they went to take another look, they discovered that the entire family had already died, with their stomachs filled with straw and cotton.

According to the monk, these people looked no different from ordinary people on a daily basis, but in fact they had been dead for three months.

He looks like a living person during the day and a dead person at night. The stench comes from his body after he becomes a dead person at night.

Such means show that this old man is also a cruel and ruthless person.

Dong Ruopu was extremely anxious. He paced back and forth at the back. Finally, he could no longer bear the torment and quickly ran to the door of the tavern and knelt down: "Old man, please show mercy and spare my brother's life!!"

As he said this, he just kowtowed towards the door.

Although everyone was annoyed that the boy couldn't speak and broke the rules, since he was so kind and loyal, no one bothered him anymore and just stood aside and watched coldly.

Regardless of what was happening outside, at this moment, Xiao Ran felt like he had fallen into a maze. The walls in front of him were split open one after another. This tavern was clearly not big, but it seemed endless.

"Little brother, when will the cycle of revenge end? If you admit your mistake, I will let you go."

The old man's voice came, as if he had already decided on Xiao Ran.

"Your swordsmanship is powerful, but in my hands, you are just like a bird in a cage, unable to escape even with wings."

Xiao Ran frowned and thought, "This old man's methods are somewhat similar to those of a C-level profession [Acrobat].

"What if I don't want to?"

Xiao Ran asked with a wry smile.

"I'm so sorry. It's a pity that all my skills will be wasted before I can become famous. Now they will be buried in the sand."

After the old man finished speaking, Xiao Ran could feel the sound of mechanisms turning all around him, followed by the surrounding brick walls rapidly closing in.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Countless flying blades shot out from the gaps.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran did not panic. Instead, he put away the [Gilded Cloak] and took out the [Purple Gold Tiger Support] from the space. After activating it with [Horizontal Refining], an invisible force field quickly unfolded with Xiao Ran as the center.

Privilege 1: A heavy burden

After use, your own force field will change, with yourself as the radiation radius within 10 meters.

All objects are affected by gravity, their weight increases dramatically, and their weight becomes stronger over time.

Duration: 15 minutes
Cooling time: 3 hours
Once the force field was deployed, the flying blades and hidden weapons that were originally attacking Xiao Ran suddenly stopped and began to lose their accuracy with clanging sounds.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran held the tiger support and used the nameless boxing technique taught by Li Jingqi.

The boxing moves were powerful and combined with the tiger support in the hand, the power seemed to be increased many times.

This was the first time that Xiao Ran had used this set of boxing techniques in actual combat, but he had integrated this set of boxing techniques into his own swordsmanship.

When he used it again at this moment, his sword technique also had some mystery. Although it was not extraordinary, it had already touched the threshold of extraordinary.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

As Xiao Ran threw a punch, there was a clanging sound from the tiger brace on his wrist. Suddenly, countless tiny pieces of metal followed Xiao Ran's punch and surrounded him, forming a metal storm.

This is the second privilege of Hucheng; "control of money!"

Privilege 2: Control of funds

After activation, the purple-gold tiger support can exert magnetic control on metal within a radius of 10 meters.

Duration: 10 minutes
Cooling time: 1 hours
The old man hiding in the dark was suddenly panicked. No matter what, it was just a trick.

No matter how magical the means are, once the window paper is broken, it will be worthless.

The seemingly mysterious techniques are nothing more than the effects produced by clever changes in mechanisms and techniques.

Xiao Ran's move was like cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron, causing all the mechanisms hidden in the house to explode.

But what really shocked the old man was not just Xiao Ran’s methods, but this familiar boxing style.

This method of using force to defeat cleverness...

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong... You are his apprentice! You are his apprentice!!!"

The old man let out a strange cry, as if he had been greatly stimulated. He screamed in shock, grabbed his apprentice beside him and ran away.

"It's too late to leave now!!"

Countless tiny pieces of metal surrounded Xiao Ran, forming a devastating storm that tore apart the wall in front of him and slashed at the old man head-on.

"puff!!"

A broken arm flew up, accompanied by a scream, followed by a loud bang.

“BOOM!! BOOM!”

Two huge clouds of dust exploded, and in the smoke, a golden rope was seen pulling two figures into the air.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened and they exclaimed, "Immortal Rope!"

It is rumored that he has supernatural powers that can reach the sky.

But when everyone looked clearly, they saw that the old man was holding the magic rope in one hand, and the other hand was indeed holding the disciple with a broken arm, and he fled from everyone's sight with a look of horror on his face...

　Sorry for being a little late, but fortunately I made it back. I really didn't expect that in this day and age, the rural system is still so cumbersome. I knelt for a whole day and then had to hold up the wreath and walk from the east of the village to the ancestral grave in the west of the village. The wind was particularly strong today. I was holding the wreath and my waist almost broke from walking. This is my real grandmother. If it were someone else's family, I would have run away after paying my respects.
