Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 448 Casino Massacre

"big big big!"

"Small! Small! Small!"

There were constant cheers in the casino. The large gambling table was covered with delicate and soft silk with patterns of vermilion and gold, just like the ones used in the royal palace.

On the table, the numbers on the dice appeared and disappeared from time to time, looming in the smoke rising from the incense burner.

Shouts, curses, and groans were intertwined.

"Manager Wang, please review this month's accounts."

The accountant took the account book to the casino manager Wang, turned to the last page, and looked directly at the revenue for this month.

Steward Wang is only in his early forties, but he is a big shot in Chang'an City, so big that even a stomp of his foot can shake the city.

At least even the powerful people in Chang'an City were unwilling to provoke him.

On the one hand, he is ruthless enough, and many people have died at his hands over the years.

On the other hand, Manager Wang is the brother-in-law of the master of the Zou family. Just relying on this relationship, he is able to have connections everywhere in Chang'an City.

But this alone is not enough for Manager Wang to keep his position.

Even with his sister's relationship, there are many people in the Zou family who are jealous of his status.

Steward Wang has achieved his current success thanks to his solid methods and tactful thinking.

After taking a quick look at the numbers on the account, Manager Wang nodded with satisfaction.

The yellow fire has been very serious in the past two years, and the Zou family’s business has also been affected, and it has been affected quite a lot.

Fortunately, the casino business is good, and I can always share a lot of the burden with my brother-in-law.

"That's right. Give the brothers a red envelope tomorrow morning. Five taels of silver per person. Everyone gets a share."

"okay!"

The wrinkles on the accountant's face were squeezed together by smiling.

Seeing that Manager Wang was in a good mood, the accountant continued, "Your Majesty, let's have a drink later. The girls in Zuihuafang are waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and poked the accountant's armpit with his finger: "Old man, you can't wait any longer."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but grin.

He is laughing happily.

With a loud "bang", the gate of the yard was kicked open by someone.

This kick instantly quieted the originally noisy gambling house, and everyone turned around.

It was pitch black outside the door and I couldn't see anything clearly.

There was only a sword flashing a cold light in the darkness.

Manager Wang's face changed and he took two steps forward. Only then could he see clearly a masked figure standing outside the door in the darkness.

Seeing this, Manager Wang clasped his hands together and said, "Let's stand together and drink from the bowl of water." (Brothers on the underworld, do you want to share the money?)

The shadow remained silent upon hearing this. Manager Wang saw this and twitched his brows. He smiled and said, "Brother, this is the property of the Zou family. Harmony brings wealth. It was a stormy night tonight and we were not prepared. Here are two hundred taels. Just consider it as tea money for you, brother."

If it were in the past, if someone kicked the door, Manager Wang would definitely call on his brothers to chop the person into meat paste.

But now is different from usual days, the sword review is about to begin, and all kinds of people in the martial arts world are gathering in Chang'an. In the spirit of less trouble is worse than more, Manager Wang is willing to spend money to avoid disaster.

As he spoke, he took out a silver note from his sleeve, handed it to a servant beside him, and asked someone to pass it on.

The servant took the money and hurried out the door.

But just as the servant respectfully handed over the silver bill in his hand.

The black shadow swung the long sword in his hand, and the next moment the clerk's head was cut in half along with the silver bill in his hand.

"Asshole, kill him, kill him!"

Seeing this, Manager Wang's face turned dark and he let out a loud roar. A line of guards with knives rushed out from the surroundings and rushed towards the black shadow.

At the same time, the accountant next to Manager Wang hurriedly stuffed the account book in his hand, which was as thick as a brick, into his arms, and ran into the room to hide.

"kill!!"

The guards who rushed in the front chopped with long swords in their hands. It can be seen how much the Zou family attaches importance to this casino. Even the swords in the hands of these guards are priceless fine products.

Xiao Ran just moved the long sword in his hand, and suddenly, the sword moved like a gust of wind, and pierced the guard's throat with the sword like a spirit snake. Then he raised the sword tip and lightly tapped it, which deflected the incoming blade. Then he slashed the man's head with another sword.

Suddenly, the entire casino exploded.

Blood splattered on the wall. I saw a black shadow in front of the door walking forward slowly. The sword in his hand flashed like lightning. Without waiting for the guards to rush over, he chopped down with the sword. The unstoppable sword light instantly cut the man and the sword in half.

Xiao Ran has never learned swordsmanship, but that doesn't stop him from using a sword to kill people.

As the saying goes, once you master one, you can master everything. It is not difficult to transform the nameless boxing technique that Li Jingqi used to fight into sword technique. Moreover, after mastering the sword technique, Xiao Ran himself has a special artistic conception.

This state of mind enveloped the long sword. Although it was not an entry-level sword technique, killing these guards was as easy as killing chickens and dogs.

Seeing this person walking in with big strides as if he was strolling in a garden, dozens of elite guards pounced on him. Without even giving him a chance to stop, Manager Wang's face darkened and he turned around and rushed back to the room.

After a while, he took out his weapons from the room, and saw that the shapes of these two weapons were also strange.

It is seven feet long, with a hammer at one end. The hammer is oval in shape. This thing is called the Golden Gourd Hammer, also known as the Standing Gourd. Although it has a strange shape, it is a weapon authorized by the Jinwu Guard. This thing is also called the Armor Breaking Hammer. If used by an expert, one hammer can shatter the internal organs of the opponent even if he is wearing armor.

And Manager Wang is an expert in this field. His ancestors were members of the Jinwu Guards, and they passed down a set of extremely powerful mixed-gang hammer techniques.

"Boy, take your life!"

Manager Wang roared, raised the sledgehammer in his hand high, and leaped up from the gambling table in one leap.

He swung the two hammers above his head, and with one move he split Mount Hua, a thunderous sound was heard in the air.

However, Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head, and the sword in his hand flashed past the eyes of Manager Wang.

Manager Wang immediately felt something was wrong, and the heavy feeling in his hands suddenly became light.

His eyes involuntarily looked up, and he saw that his hands had flown out along with the two pairs of melon hammers.

At the same time, his body fell to the ground in a very uncoordinated posture.

Only his head was still in the air and flying forward due to the inertia of the impact.

"Bang!"

Only when the head fell to the ground did Manager Wang seem to realize something. He stared at the shadow's retreating feet. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of many things, but it seemed that he had no time to think about anything because his consciousness had been swallowed up by the darkness.

But in the eyes of others, things were not so complicated. They only saw that Manager Wang picked up the double melon hammer.

Manager Wang rushed forward.

Butler Wang jumped up.

Manager Wang...

died.

Seeing that Steward Wang had his head chopped off by a sword, those who had originally looked like they would fight to the death with Xiao Ran to protect him suddenly dispersed and turned around and ran away.

I don’t know if it was because the movement was too big or if Manager Wang was still alive, but the veil on the man in black’s face fell off at this moment.

Seeing this, many gamblers widened their eyes and wailed in their hearts, fearing that they would be in trouble too.

Sure enough, Xiao Ran was stunned for a few seconds, as if she didn't expect the veil to fall down like this, allowing everyone to see her face more clearly.

Then, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, he raised the sword in his hand, and started to kill with great force. His steps were incredibly fast and his movements were extremely simple.

Take a step forward, raise the sword, swing the sword, next one.

No one survived where the sword passed. Heads were chopped off one after another, with looks of horror on their faces.

As for those gamblers, Xiao Ran did not let them go either.

Maybe they are not bad people, but gamblers are the least worthy of sympathy. Killing a gambler can often allow a family to live a peaceful life. Killing one person and saving the whole family, even if the Buddha came, he would say it is a great merit.

For a while, there were constant screams in the gambling house. With such a loud noise, the guards who were patrolling outside naturally received the alarm.

Drums sounded from a nearby watchtower, and a large number of defenders began to rush over.

The original defenders on the street gradually gathered together and followed the drumbeats to quickly blockade all the streets around the casino.

The murderous aura from them gathered into a dragnet that enveloped the entire street.

Under the cover of this solemn and murderous aura, any magic or curse would be greatly disturbed.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ran does not plan to use spiritual clothes.

It was obvious that his decision was correct, Chang'an City was the capital of the dynasty after all.

The elite troops in charge of patrolling were very mature both in terms of size and number as well as tactics. They quickly blocked the streets and gradually retreated inwards, so that basically no one could escape.

But Xiao Ran was an exception. He killed too quickly and more than half of the people in the gambling house were killed in a blink of an eye.

He walked so fast, and the footwork he learned from the monk seemed to be assisted by God.

When these elite patrolmen rushed into the gambling house step by step, they saw a mess in front of them, and the blood had dyed the entire ground red.

But the murderer has disappeared at this moment.

"Help... help..."

However, a faint cry for help came from the corpse, and when everyone opened the body, they saw that it was the accountant.

I saw that the accountant's chest was soaked in blood and there was a deep wound on his chest.

Fortunately, he had an account book in his arms, which helped him block Xiao Ran's sword, so he could pretend to be dead until now.

Seeing that there was still a survivor, the Zou family and others who came over hurriedly helped the accountant back to the room to apply medicine to save his life...

The next morning, Huang Chao returned from outside. Just as he stepped into the door of Fulai Inn, his foot suddenly hovered above the threshold and he looked around him with suspicion in his eyes.

Then he suddenly waved his hand and a dart shot out, piercing through the pile of debris in the corner.

Watching the pierced debris being shot through by the dart, leaving a hole the size of a baby's fist.

"Strange, am I overthinking?"

Huang Chao looked at the pierced debris and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He didn't know what was going on recently, but he always felt like a pair of eyes were staring at him all the time.

This feeling became particularly strong after returning to the inn. Even when I went to the toilet, I felt as if someone was staring at my butt.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it." Huang Chao shook his head and continued to walk into the inn.
