Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 477 Both sides suffer losses
When the sword blade cut open his throat, Xiao Ran's eyes were still fixed on the yellow tide in front of him bathed in golden light.

Does it hurt? ?
It doesn't hurt.

In other words, there was no time to feel the pain. I just felt like a punctured balloon. In an instant, all my energy flowed out of my body along with the gushing blood.

My vision also began to blur.

"You are amazing to have persisted until now."

Huang Chao looked at Xiao Ran who was still standing there, and silently withdrew the sword in his hand. The shadow of the Locust God behind him also began to fade away.

He knew that this strike of his sword had already cut off Xiao Ran's life, and there was no chance of the other party surviving.

"In fact, there is one more thing I haven't said yet. You and I don't have to be enemies to the death. At the very least, we can be friends. Wait for me on the road to the underworld. I will go down sooner or later. When the time comes, we can get drunk together."

As he spoke, Huang Chao stretched out his hand, ready to help Xiao Ran close his eyes.

But just when Huang Chao's palm was about to touch Xiao Ran, a gleam of surprise suddenly flashed in Xiao Ran's originally distracted eyes, and his palm grabbed Huang Chao's wrist like lightning.

"you!!"

This sudden change caught Huang Chao off guard. Before he could break free, he saw Xiao Ran open his mouth and spit out a puff of black mist at Huang Chao.

This is exactly the unique skill Xiao Ran learned from the immortal of the Hu family: [Damaging Divine Wind] and one of the secret methods in the Record of Corpse Dispelling [Corpse Evil Arrow].

This breath of corpse gas had been accumulated in Xiao Ran's chest for a long time. When Xiao Ran exhaled it at this moment, Huang Chao, who was hitting him, didn't have time to dodge or parry, and was hit directly in the face.

"Oh!!!"

Huang Chao let out a scream. His face, which was originally handsome and dignified, now sizzled under the corrosion of the corpse qi, as if a bottle of sulfuric acid was poured on it.

The heart-wrenching pain made Huang Chao lose his mind immediately. He broke free from Xiao Ran's hand, covered his face with his hands, and rolled around on the ground wildly.

Kill you while you are sick.

Xiao Ran would not miss this opportunity. He made seals with his hands and the corpse energy under his feet surged like a spring, quickly spreading to all directions and then pushed forward.

The corpse gas surged, and an invisible and irresistible force mixed with the corpse gas, causing the void in front of him to darken, and it seemed as if a door really appeared behind Huang Chao in the dark.

As Xiao Ran pushed hard, an invisible force hit the door heavily.

Zhou Family Secret Technique [King of Hell Knocking on the Door]

"boom!!"

The knock on the door sounded beside his ears, causing Huang Chao's body to tremble. His whole body stiffened involuntarily, and then his chest seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.

"puff!!"

Huang Chao, who had already suffered severe injuries, felt his eyes go dark and he almost fainted.

"what!!"

Another scream came from Huang Chao's mouth, but this time the scream was different from the previous one. If the previous scream was a sudden pain, then this scream was more like the roar of an enraged tiger after being injured.

Huang Chao suddenly jumped up from the ground, tore off the flesh on his face with his backhand, and threw it at Xiao Ran like a hidden weapon. At the same time, he rushed towards Xiao Ran like a mad tiger.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Ran raised his hand, countless guide money flew out from his hand like snowflakes.

Huang Chao was now like a frightened wild cat. Seeing this, he immediately became alert and drew the sword from his waist. Countless sword energies formed a large net, crisscrossing around him.

"Shhhhhhh..."

The overlapping shadows of sword light were so dense that it was like a sword blade storm, cutting the surrounding grass and trees into pieces.

However, when the pieces of paper disappeared, Huang Chao discovered that Xiao Ran was gone?
“Where are the people??”

Huang Chao glanced around with his left eye. His right face and right eye were already covered in blood, revealing his white bones. It was obvious how much of a loss Huang Chao had suffered from Xiao Ran's sneak attack.

But this cannot be blamed on Huang Chao's carelessness. He was confident that the sword was absolutely fatal, and even he would definitely die.

But Xiao Ran is strangely still alive, who could have expected this?

At the moment, there was no human figure, not even a footprint around, only a pool of bright red blood on the ground.

After making sure that the boy had escaped without a trace, Huang Chao trembled all over, and his only remaining eye was bloodshot.

"Ahhhh!!!"

With a roar of grief and indignation, sword beams slashed in all directions, large trees were cut in half, and a pavilion not far away was shattered by a sword, forming a death zone within a radius of twenty meters.

But this was destined to be impotent rage. Even though Huang Chao was extremely angry, he had no way to change the fact that Xiao Ran escaped from under his nose.

"Master!!"

At this time, Deng Wenzhu, who was hiding in the distance, ran over with four subordinates. Seeing Huang Chao seriously injured, he couldn't help but be shocked. With Huang Chao's strength, even the masters of Gu Xintang could not hurt him.

But now he has suffered an almost fatal blow.

"Just now... did you see clearly how he escaped?"

Huang Chao stared at Deng Wenzhu and others fiercely.

"This……"

Deng Wenzhu and the others had strange expressions on their faces. After they sorted out their thoughts, they said, "We didn't understand it either. We just watched from a distance as he threw the white papers out, took a step back, and then disappeared."

Deng Wenzhu and others were also puzzled by Xiao Ran's disappearance.

They have seen a lot of Qinggong, and they also have a general understanding of those magic tricks and escape techniques.

They had never heard of someone disappearing out of thin air like Xiao Ran. Huang Chao's face was trembling, and it was unclear whether it was because of pain or anger. The teeth exposed to the air were trembling.

But Huang Chao also knew that Xiao Ran's methods were mysterious. He had seen him use earth escape and fly before. In order to deal with him, he had already taken out the Locust List and wrote down all his methods on it.

But I didn't expect that this person was so scheming and actually had a hidden killer trick up his sleeve.

After adjusting his mentality, Huang Chao looked at the Daming Palace behind him with his only remaining eye, and then sighed helplessly: "Let's go."

The original plan was to kill Xiao Ran and then fight for the dragon energy, or at the very least chop off the dog emperor's head. But now, Huang Chao can only take the opportunity to leave Chang'an quickly.

His injuries were not light, and the wound on his face was not the most serious. Xiao Ran's last move caused his internal organs to shift, and his blood and qi to stagnate, causing internal injuries. In this state, if he faced the siege of masters like Gu Xintang again, it would not be so easy for him to escape unscathed.

"Ah, these bastards got a bargain."

As Deng Wenzhu spoke, he helped Huang Chao up and quickly took him away.

At the same time, Xiao Ran's condition was not much better.

The fatal wound on his neck was constantly bleeding. If he hadn't had the half-knowledge of Yin and Yang, which could have turned him into a corpse, he would have probably died on the spot.

But in front of Xiao Ran at this moment was a desolate and dilapidated Chang'an City. This was the appearance of Chang'an in the underworld.

It turned out that when Xiao Ran used the King of Hell Knocking Technique, he knew that he could not kill Huang Chao.

After all, with only the assistance of corpse qi and no evil-wielding magic, the power is naturally not as strong as last time.

Afterwards, he began to practice the Zhou family's secret technique, Yin and Yang.

"I finally escaped a disaster."

Xiao Ran heaved a sigh of relief, but did not dare to delay even a bit. His injury was fatal, and if he handled it improperly, it would be too late for him to regret.

But the more time passed, the less anxious Xiao Ran was to suture the wound.

After thinking for a while and sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Ran first activated the [Energy Replenishing Bag] in the space with [Lucky Man], then Xiao Ran reached in and groped out a dark blue gem.

Privilege 2: Lucky Bag

After activation, you can draw a lucky gem from it.

Lucky Gem: It can add a blessing of luck to you for a short period of time.

Duration: 2 hours
After Xiao Ran crushed the gem, it turned into golden light that shone around Xiao Ran, and at the same time he received a prompt sound.

"You are blessed with luck, and you will turn danger into fortune! In the next two hours, you will not encounter any unexpected danger."

"not bad."

Xiao Ran stretched out his hand again, and a white light shone on his body.

Luck magic, this is the professional skill of the lucky person.

Luck: After activation, you will be particularly lucky in the next 20 minutes.

(Note: Luck itself is part of strength!!)

This is the professional skill of being a [Lucky Man]. With the blessing of the lucky gem, Xiao Ran finally feels more at ease.

The more dangerous the situation is, the more luck can determine one's fate. Good luck may not seem significant on weekdays, but it is the real life-saving thing at the critical moment.

Then he released the spirit snake, Sanli, archer, and tiger to protect him.

After making preparations, Xiao Ran took out [Lu Ban Hand] and activated it.

【Luban Hand·Lucky Man】

After being activated, Lu Ban's hand seems to have grown on one's shoulder.

With the help of Lu Ban Hand's privilege [Skillful Hands], he began to suture the wound on Xiao Ran's neck with needle and thread.

Privilege 1: Dexterity

Can copy the user's professional skills, and the skills are half a level higher than the user's own proficiency.

(Note: The profession used to activate this curse cannot be copied.)
This is the power of Lu Ban Hand. Xiao Ran uses Lu Ban Hand to copy the suturing technique of the corpse-joiner and can reach a higher half-level level, which is especially important at this time.

And Luban Hand Lucky Man has another privilege.

Perk 2: Lucky Hand

Under certain circumstances, the lucky hand effect will occasionally be triggered, allowing one's work to reach a standard that exceeds its grade.

The trigger probability is 30%
After each trigger, it will enter a cooling-off period, during which it will not be triggered a second time.

Cooling time: 30 hours
Therefore, if one is lucky, one might be able to experience the effects of entry-level suturing, um, personally.

Lu Ban used his hand to open Xiao Ran's wound. Xiao Ran first performed a simple disinfection and cleaning, and then took a mirror and carefully observed the depth of the wound.

At this time, Xiao Ran was somewhat surprised to find that his eyes' [Retrace] ability could actually help him replay the process of the wound being cut.

This also means that many details will be exposed to Xiao Ran.

"It is true that one lineage has four branches. The techniques of the four families may seem unrelated, but in fact they are closely related and complement each other."

Xiao Ran thought to himself that after this matter was over, he would definitely go to Plum Blossom Manor...
