Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 424 Sacrifice

Before, in Mengchi, I had indeed chopped down a city god.

However, it is difficult to say what should be done with the things in the dream pool. But it doesn’t matter. He dared to chop down the City God, let alone the Ghost King in front of him.

The difference is that he killed the City God because he had played a trick on him, while Xiao Ran killed him out of personal vengeance.

But now he wants to kill this Ghost King, but it is not just because of personal vengeance.

It is not a personal vendetta, but a matter of justice, and it is also the truth in his heart.

Be it the world or the underworld.

Since you said that power is greater than the law, then I will use this knife to defend the law and bring justice to this world.

The [Guillotine] clanged and rang with murderous aura, making all the ghosts around feel cold all over. The dead souls don't need to breathe, but now they once again felt a long-lost feeling of suffocation, as if their souls were about to fly away at any time.

Xiao Ran's heart was pounding, his blood was boiling, and his ears were filled with the cries of the dead souls and the desperate wails of the red and white evil spirits.

Frame by frame, scene by scene, Xiao Ran's whole body was filled with the aura of corpses. He took a step forward, and the pool of corpses beneath his feet began to boil.

"You! Don't mess around! If you dare to kill me, the underworld will be shaken and will definitely send ghosts to take you."

The huge surge of corpse energy made the old ghost finally realize that this mortal was not ordinary, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

But even so, the old ghost still felt in his heart that even if Xiao Ran was the underworld messenger, he would not dare to kill him.

"No, no, you haven't entered the Dao yet, you can't kill me!!"

Watching Xiao Ran walking towards him, Lao Gui became more and more panicked. He didn't know why, but after being stared at by Xiao Ran, he felt an unprecedented sense of fear in his heart.

He is just a ghost messenger, how could he let himself have such an illusion?

Seeing Xiao Ran getting closer and closer, the old ghost was frightened for a short time, and then suddenly felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.

"Go to hell!"

With a loud bang, the sky seemed to split open, and a huge palm tore down from the void and slapped Xiao Ran directly.

The huge hand rolled up the haze in all directions, and countless pairs of ghost eyes opened from it, emitting thousands of green lights, covering the void.

"呲呲呲..."

The green light shone on Xiao Ran, instantly submerging him in it. The ghosts could even hear the sound of Xiao Ran's body being corroded.

"Hahaha, we are just mortals after all!"

The old ghost in the clouds let out a relieved laugh.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he heard the sound of iron rings colliding in the green light under his palm.

"Hmm? Still alive?"

The old ghost was startled, and his thousands of eyes in his palms pierced through the void. He saw Xiao Ran standing below, his clothes had rotted and turned into dust.

But his whole body was covered with a layer of pitch-black scales, on which the luster of curse patterns flashed.

【Dragon Soft Armor·Horizontal Training】

Privilege 1: Dragon Armor

Once activated, the soft armor will cover your entire body, making you immune to D-level negative curses and immune to D-level mental curses.

Duration: 10 minutes
Cooling time: 2 hours
"Dragon scales!! How is that possible?"

The old ghost's eyes suddenly widened. Although he didn't know where the dragon scale came from, he was sure that he was not mistaken.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Just as the old ghost was shocked by the dragon soft armor on Xiao Ran's body, Xiao Ran slowly raised the big knife in his hand.

In an instant, the manic corpse qi turned into a waning moon and slashed down along the blade.

"puff!!"

The black waning moon flew against the sky and pierced through the old ghost's palm before he could react. The intense pain made his soul and body tremble. When he looked again, he found that even two of his fingers were cut off.

The old ghost couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart. He cut off his palm with just the sword energy... "Enter the Tao!"

"Not yet, just one step away, but not far away."

Xiao Ran's voice was heard, but the person disappeared mysteriously.

"What about people?"

The old ghost looked around, and at this moment something fell from the sky.

The old ghost took a closer look and found that they were actually sheets of yellow paper.

"No! It's not yellow paper. This is..."

When the old ghost saw the big bright red seal on the yellow paper, his eyes widened.

"The Mirror of the Underworld!!"

When the old ghost saw these four words, his expression was more horrified than a living person seeing a ghost. He shuddered all over and screamed, "Who the hell are you?!"

How much weight do these four words carry? As a ghost king, even if he is just a small ghost king in the world of the living, a little ghost who is responsible for guarding the path into the underworld of Xitai Mountain, he also knows how much weight these four words carry.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Ran had mentioned these four words at the beginning, not only would Lao Gui not dare to be so arrogant, he would even turn around and leave. Before leaving, he would even say thank you to Xiao Ran for helping him manage his servants.

But now... it's too late.

Realizing that he had really hit a wall, the old ghost began to think of retreating. The uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he immediately cursed: "Damn it! Just wait!"

He turned and was about to run. "Corpse Technique: Soul Binding!"

As Xiao Ran's voice rang out, countless iron chains flew out from the ground and wrapped around the old ghost's body.

This sudden move caused the old ghost's body to sink suddenly. As the iron chain tightened, it pulled him out of the haze.

It was only then that everyone saw the true face of the Ghost King. To everyone's surprise, the Ghost King was actually a woman, and she was extremely charming and beautiful.

Completely different from the previous image.

"No wonder, every time the Ghost King travels, he hides in a coffin. Turns out he's a woman."

The hanged ghost suddenly realized, but his words caused the female ghost next to him to turn around and glare at him. The hanged ghost realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly rolled up his tongue and retracted it.

The ghost king was surrounded by a cold wind and was trying to break free from the chains.

But at this moment, Xiao Ran appeared beside her, forming a seal with one hand and chanting a spell.

It is the unique ability of the Hades, the demon-suppressing spell.

Privilege 1: Underworld

After activation, you will be blessed with the identity of Hades Messenger, and gain the unique skills of Hades Messenger, the Evil-Repelling Seal, and the Demon-Suppressing Spell.

The demon-suppressing spell was like an iron hammer, hitting the Ghost King word by word, instantly rendering her unable to move.

Xiao Ran followed closely and swung the big knife in his hand. The blade rolled up an unparalleled murderous aura and chopped fiercely on the ghost king.

"puff!!"

The knife cut down from her neck and almost split her in half. The intense pain made her scream miserably. However, as Xiao Ran said, his swordsmanship was still not perfect after all, and he was still one step away.

So after one blow, although the Ghost King was seriously injured, his injuries recovered in the blink of an eye.

"Let me go. I have an agreement with King Taishan. I am the ghost king appointed by the underworld and have the seal of the underworld. If you really dare to kill me, King Taishan will not let you go no matter who you are."

At this time, she seemed to be really scared, and she brought up the support of King Taishan and spoke to Xiao Ran.

"Kid, this matter can still be discussed, so don't be impulsive."

Grandma Zhang at the side started talking.

Although they were shocked by Xiao Ran's strength and identity, Grandma Zhang didn't want Xiao Ran to get into big trouble.

Xiao Ran turned around and smiled: "It's okay, King Taishan is a big backer, but I'm not without it either."

Xiao Ran turned around and looked at the Ghost King in front of him: "I want to say thank you. Today I will lend you your head to help me complete the last step of entering the Dao."

The ghost king's eyes widened and he said sternly: "You haven't entered the Dao, so you can't kill me after all!!!"

"Is it?"

Xiao Ran snorted coldly, raised his hand, and saw three things taken out from the space and placed in front of him.

A table, an incense burner, and a stone.

The table is an ordinary long incense table, but the incense burner on it is special.

This incense burner has a lion head and two ears, and four animal claws as the feet. It has a simple shape, and at the same time, it has flashing spell patterns on it.

This is exactly one of the rewards I received after my last return, [Taoism Incense Burner·Lucky Man]

Privilege 1: Divine Incense
Using this incense burner to worship the gods can increase the gods' favor towards you.

Xiao Ran inserted three yellow incense sticks into the incense burner, and smoke rose up.

"Strange, who is he offering sacrifices to? Why is there a stone behind the incense burner?"

The ghosts were confused by Xiao Ran's operation. They made such a big scene, but it was just to set up an altar. If it was to invite gods, it would be fine, but why was there a stone behind it? ?
Xiao Ran turned around and looked at the ghost king who was bound by iron chains: "Didn't you say that power is greater than law? I think your power is not big enough. I think I'll find you a bigger one!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran raised his hand and took out a Yin banknote. He threw it casually and the Yin banknote ignited in mid-air, with sparks that instantly ignited all the Yin banknotes floating around.

"call……"

The entire hilltop seemed to be suddenly set on fire, but the strange thing was that the flames burned so quickly that not a single blade of grass or tree was burned.

Thick green smoke shrouded the deep forest.

All the ghosts in the tea shed felt light all the time, and the resentment in their hearts was relieved as they were bathed in the green smoke.

"you……"

The Ghost King was also confused by this operation, but at this moment, Xiao Ran held the [Guillotine] in both hands and the curse patterns of the corpse flowed into the blade.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing..."

The iron ring on the big knife in his hand rang, and Xiao Ran's eyes were like lightning: "I will lend you your head today to offer sacrifice to the gods!"

As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand. Suddenly, a strong wind blew. The ghosts were dazed and could only hear bursts of singing...

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

"Human heads and blood, offering sacrifices to Tai Sui, kings and generals die under the sword!"

"Cut! Cut! Cut!!"

"The golden knife is stained, the blood basin is full, and the steamed bun is stained with misery!"

As the singing sounded, the ghost king's eyes blurred. When she came to her senses, she found that she had been taken to the execution ground. What made her even more horrified was that a tall and majestic shadow vaguely emerged behind the incense table...
