Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 430 Enemies meet
There were quite a few customers in the restaurant. Xiao Ran walked up the stairs, playing with the rosary in one hand.

When I got to the third floor and looked around, I didn't see the old man as the monk had described.

The guests sitting on the third floor were all dressed in silk and satin, and many of them were wearing strange clothes, but no one was wearing a straw raincoat or a bamboo hat.

After looking around and failing to find anyone, Xiao Ran simply found an empty seat and sat down.

"This big monk is weird, I don't even recognize him. Why did he bring me to the City of the Dead? What other old man wants to see me?"

"broken!"

Xiao Ran suddenly became alert in his heart: "Could it be that Lao Deng from the Yinshan Taoist?"

When Xiao Ran thought of this, he suddenly had a bad feeling. After all, he didn't know many people in the underworld. As for old men, the only one who came to his mind was the Yinshan Taoist.

"Could it be that after this old fellow escaped, he asked the great monk to capture my soul so that he could deal with me without my physical body to protect me?"

But on second thought, I felt that some things here didn't make sense.

For example, the big monk's magical powers are extraordinary. My own mental strength of more than 50 points is nothing in front of the big monk.

He couldn't even feel the slightest bit of anger towards the monk.

With such great magical powers, he must be an accomplished Taoist master, and his strength must be even greater than that of the Taoist priest of Yinshan.

With such means, if he wanted to kill me, it would be a piece of cake. Why would he need to go through so much trouble? ?

Besides, even if he wanted the Yinshan Taoist to kill him personally, he shouldn't have chosen to do so in such a bustling ghost market. He should have found a place where there were no people.

Xiao Ran couldn't figure out the reasons, but since he couldn't find the old man that the monk mentioned, Xiao Ran thought it would be better to slip away early and find a way to go back.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran stood up and was about to go downstairs.

"Since this is the City of Wrongful Death, then it must be the place of the underworld. I can come here to report under the identity of Plum Blossom Taoist and find a manager to ask the City God to send me back."

Xiao Ran was thinking about the plan in his mind as he walked downstairs.

However, I didn't expect that after just taking two steps, I heard a dull sound of footsteps coming from downstairs.

I saw a person with a lion's head, a duck's beak and feet half the size of a door panel walking up from downstairs.

Wow, Xiao Ran has never thought about anything that can combine so many features together in his life.

The big man walked up the stairs and stood directly in front of Xiao Ran, followed by people coming up from downstairs one after another.

Several people stood in a row.

The leading man with a lion head and duck bill shouted, "We brothers are here to do business. If you don't want to be killed, get out now."

After saying that, he pointed at Xiao Ran and said, "You stay!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ran felt something was wrong, and the diners around him stood up and ran away.

Some diners were confused and were dragged downstairs by their friends. When they got downstairs, they couldn't help but ask: "Who are those people? They are so domineering?"

"They are not human beings. They are the mounts of the Lord of the Underworld. Even though they are just mounts, even the King of Hell would have to avoid them."

"Mount?"

"Yes, the one with a lion head and a duck's beak is the mount of the Ghost Emperor of Luofu Mountain, called... the Yellow Springs Platypus. Following behind are the mounts of several other Ghost Emperors. They are all not easy to mess with. If I had known they were here, I would not have come here."

A ghost merchant said, shaking his head.

These masters are all well-known troublemakers in the underworld, but the masters behind them are all big bosses in the underworld.

Not to mention the Ten Kings of Hell, even the Six Heavenly Lords of Fengdu would not be too harsh on them.

In other words, as long as these people don't rebel in the underworld, no one can do anything to them even if they really turn the City of the Dead upside down.

It can be said to be a genuine ghost-seeking monster.

"Who was that young man just now?"

"Who knows? Anyway, he is an unlucky guy. Being targeted by these people, I am afraid that even death is the least of his life."

Everyone was talking constantly, and Xiao Ran's face upstairs became increasingly ugly.

"Everyone, I have no grudge against you. May I ask why you are stopping me?"

"No injustice or enmity?"

The lion-headed guys in front of him curled their lips and said, "Hey, kid, you're in big trouble. You've fallen into our hands today, and this is your retribution. You're destined to have this disaster!"

Xiao Ran frowned when he heard that and looked around. Before he could think of where to escape, he heard a burst of sneer from behind.

"Why, it's only been a short time, have you forgotten?"

Following this slightly familiar voice, Xiao Ran's pupils suddenly twitched.

He saw the face that he would never forget in his life walking out from behind.

He has fair skin and looks like a gentleman, but he has obviously lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw him.

"It's you!!!"

When Xiao Ran saw the appearance of this young man, he instantly felt his whole body go cold and his heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom of a valley. The possibility of escaping that he had just thought about disappeared in an instant.

It was because the young man in front of him was the evil dragon he met in the underworld. He thought that after the old demon cut off one of his tails, they would never meet again in this life.

But I didn't expect that we would meet on a narrow road.

"No, it's not that we are enemies, could it be that he specifically asked the monk to take my soul into the underworld just to torture me?"

This idea is more reliable than the one proposed by the Yinshan Old Man to refute the rumor. At least considering this guy's character, he is capable of doing such a thing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's face turned cold: "So it's you, the Broken Tail Dragon, I thought it was someone else."

Although Xiao Ran has no ability to protect himself now, he will not have a good face towards this evil dragon.

After all, since they have captured you, they are determined to have sex with you. Even if you wag your tail and beg for mercy like a dog, it will not have any effect except increasing the pleasure of the other party in playing with you.

It can't even save your own life.

Rather than this, it would be better to die quickly. At least I can satisfy my desire for sex.

When the young man heard Xiao Ran calling himself a Broken Tail Dragon, his smile froze on his face. "Humph, this time there's no Huangquan remnant to back you up. I wonder if you have any skills to escape from our brothers today!"

Xiao Ran frowned when he heard this: "No matter what, this is the City of Wrongful Death. I have the identity of a Hades messenger. Aren't you afraid that the Hades will come after you if you do this?"

It would have been better if Xiao Ran had not said this. After he said it, he immediately attracted laughter from Lion Head and the others.

"Hahahaha, Underworld Messenger? What a powerful authority."

“Oh my, you look so righteous. I thought you were the Six Heavenly Demon Lord.”

Lion Head and the others laughed unrestrainedly, and the evil dragon next to them had a smug look on their faces.

"Boy, I'm not afraid of you saying that I am the Southern Ghost Emperor..." The lion head patted his chest and looked at Xiao Ran proudly, "I am the imperial mount of the Southern Ghost Emperor. Let alone a mere underworld messenger like you, even if you are the King of Hell or the Judge of the Underworld, I don't take you seriously."

"Last time, a few of us got drunk and took a bath in the underworld. A huge wave rolled up and flooded Fengdu. I don't know how many unlucky people were swept into the underworld. But in the end, we were only sentenced to a few decades of confinement. It was just right that we took a bath, ate enough, had a good sleep, and that was it. If I hadn't heard it from others, I wouldn't have known that I was sentenced to confinement...hahahaha."

The evil dragons laughed loudly. What underworld messenger, what ghost messenger? In their eyes, it was just a dog.

It's easier to kill him than to kill an ant.

"Boy, even if the King of Hell comes today, he can't save you."

Looking at the unscrupulous expressions of these guys, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel angry.

"Another bunch of beasts who claim their power is greater than the law. I only regret that I don't have a knife in my hand and can't chop off your dog heads!"

Anger surged in Xiao Ran's heart, but then he felt a sense of emptiness.

Even with a knife in hand, he couldn't shake these demons with his own strength.

Xiao Ran felt a wave of sadness in his heart. He stared at these beasts coldly. He was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore. He spat coldly: "Kill them if you want. Grandpa frowns. You are my child."

Upon hearing this, Lion Head narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to slap Xiao Ran.

Suddenly, Xiao Ran's eyes went dark, and he felt as if the void around him was about to be crushed. Facing this enormous force, even his thoughts went blank.

Xiao Ran closed his eyes. In fact, at this moment he was quite calm.

Death, or even the disintegration of the soul, is already a foregone conclusion.

Are you unwilling?
Of course there are, but Xiao Ran's own path and the path he has chosen destined him to not give in to these bastards at all.

Not even the slightest fantasy is allowed.

Even if his body was torn into pieces and his soul was scattered, Xiao Ran would not back down at all.

"Snapped!!"

The restaurant exploded with a huge noise, and suddenly, the entire Chaos Street seemed to be shaking.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of many people in the underworld.

Be it the Ten Kings of Hell or the group of underworld officials, all of them changed their expressions slightly.

But he just glanced over here and continued to work.

It's not that they don't care, but that they can't care. Just as Lionhead said, the boss behind them is too big.

To put it bluntly, the laws are written by others, and they, as law enforcers, enforce others' laws.

Just like last time, these beasts got drunk and made a big fuss in the Underworld, causing the water from the Underworld to flow back into Fengdu. The six heavenly kings of Fengdu turned a deaf ear and ignored it.

It’s just because the masters behind these beasts are all difficult to deal with.

Especially the master behind the Lion Head, the Southern Ghost Emperor Du Ziren, who rules the south alone and has the power of life and death in his hands. The other four Ghost Emperors each have two people who check and balance each other, but he only has one person. Who can suppress him?

However, just as those underworld officials were sighing silently, wondering which unlucky guy would be in trouble today.

Suddenly, there was a heart-wrenching wail that echoed throughout the entire City of the Dead. The scream was very distinctive. It was as loud as a bell, but it sounded like the quack of a duck.

"Ah, this sound... is the cry of the water beast!!"

Hearing this miserable scream, the official from the underworld who had just pressed the head back down could not help but change his expression: "Oh no, this is going to be a disaster!!"
