Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 550 Overturning the table
There is a saying that goes, A hundred lies told by a liar cannot be more harmful than one lie told by an honest person.

Playing dumb and seeking immortality is Zhu Rong's disguise, and it is also the character Zhu Rong carefully created for himself.

But relying on this personality, Zhu Rong gradually became the King of Ghosts. Despite opposition from court ministers, he opened mountains and located tombs, built a mausoleum for himself, and even asked the court to confer a title on him in his later years.

All these were the results of his calculations. Without this idea, how could he run such a large evil spirit market.

At this moment, whether it is the ferryman or the so-called spiritual child, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to mention the things on Xiao Ran's body make him excited.

If we want to catch them, then we can’t let any of this huge nest of fish escape.

The old ferryman didn't understand what this guy meant at this point, and snorted coldly: "Boy, you really are not afraid of eating yourself to death."

"I have only heard one saying: the bold will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation." Zhu Rong said, and waved his hand to the inspectors around him: "Go!"

As Zhu Rong finished his words, the inspectors around him raised their lanterns one after another.

Suddenly, the dim light illuminated the entire world.

The lights were as bright as day, but the places illuminated by the light immediately began to distort.

"court death!!"

Seeing Zhu Rong taking action, the four ferrymen no longer cared about their previous suspicions of each other, and they all attacked, intending to force their way out.

The old ferryman waved the oar in his hand, forcibly tearing a crack in the void, and rolling yellow springs gushed out from the crack, rushing towards Zhu Rong and others like thousands of horses galloping.

But how could Zhu Rong be afraid of this? He pushed the dragon stele beside him forward with one hand and rushed straight into the underworld.

"Go to hell!!"

At this moment, the old ghost Black Wind suddenly appeared beside Zhu Rong, opened his mouth and spit out a black wind towards Zhu Rong.

The old ghost Black Wind had nothing on his hands, and he used the most brutal soul-destroying sand as soon as he attacked. However, as Black Wind approached, the dragon tablet in Zhu Rong's hand cracked into countless cracks, and a faint golden light flashed.

"Curse pattern!! This thing is a cursed object!"

Xiao Ran, who was far away, was also a little surprised when he saw this. The flashing patterns on the inscriptions seemed scattered and disordered at first glance, but they were actually extremely complex spell patterns.

The Bixi carrying the stele suddenly opened its eyes, opened its bloody mouth and sucked in all the black wind.

"Roar!"

Then it let out a low roar at the Black Wind Old Ghost. The sound of a dragon's roar was beyond the ability of an old ghost to resist. He was instantly nailed to the spot and unable to move. The Bixi opened its mouth and spit out a red tongue, which went straight into the Black Wind Old Ghost's body and made a hole in his chest.

"Go to hell!" The old ferryman inserted his oar into the Yellow Springs, and the sky full of Yellow Springs suddenly boiled. Thousands of bony hands stretched out from the turbid waves and smashed towards Zhu Rong like a landslide.

Zhu Rong raised the dragon stele with his backhand, and the stele flashed with tragic golden patterns and emitted a dazzling light.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

The Yellow Springs that covered the sky were ruthlessly suppressed in front of the stone tablet and turned into a trickle of drizzle.

But the ferryman couldn't even fight back and was knocked away by Zhu Rong's punch.

"fierce!"

Looking at Zhu Rong who was holding the stele with one hand like a god, Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire him in his heart. He was indeed a tough guy.

Even though the old ferryman was seriously injured, he was still an A-level ferryman. However, he was completely powerless in front of Zhu Rong's stone tablet.

"Golden Toad, are you sure you didn't trick me?"

Xiao Ran was calling out to Jin Chanzi in his heart, but the Taoist priest was nowhere to be seen and his voice could not be heard at all.

This inevitably made Xiao Ran wonder if this guy had eloped with Xi's mother.

After all, it is a fine tradition of Taoists to prefer the death of a fellow Taoist to the death of oneself.

"Ding-ling, ding-ling..." Only a few crisp sounds of coins colliding could be heard.

Blood streaks appeared out of thin air under Zhu Rong's feet, and then the hem of his python robe instantly burst into dark red flames.

Zhu Rong's face changed and he tore off the python robe, but the flames were like maggots on his tarsal bones and had already spread throughout his body.

"Red Lotus Wrath"

Three coins with lotus flowers engraved on them appeared behind Zhu Rong, on top of his head and on both sides of his shoulders.

Madam Dongzhu's magic of exorcism has now taken effect.

Even the King of Ghosts cannot stand the red lotus fire.

The ghost ox driver took the opportunity to transform into a three-meter-high green ox and charged forward. The shadow of a Taotie appeared on the ox's horns. It galloped forward wildly, and its iron hooves under its feet seemed to crush the void.

However, Zhu Rong just smiled contemptuously and quickly stepped back.

The dim lights behind him shone brightly, shining on the Ghost Ox Driver. In just a moment, the Ghost Ox Driver's muscles twisted and countless human faces appeared on his body.

"what!!!"

The pain of tearing flesh forced the ghost ox driver to step back immediately.

The inspectors held the lights high above their heads and placed the lanterns upside down on their heads.

Suddenly the lights became more dazzling and brighter. Zhu Rong hid himself in the light. In this apricot-yellow light, the three copper coins that were originally hanging behind Zhu Rong gradually dimmed until they disappeared completely.

"puff!!"

The magic of exorcism was broken, and even Madam Dongzhu felt like she was struck by lightning. She vomited blood from her mouth again and had to retreat again.

"Zhu Rong, I'm going to fight you!!" Seeing that the four men together were no match for Zhu Rong, the old ferryman became ruthless, raised the oar in his hand high, with a dazzling light flashing on it, and suddenly pushed it forward.

There was a loud “bang!”

The entire void seemed to be pierced directly with a big hole.

The oar in the ferryman's hand also exploded at this moment, but a huge hole had been torn open, which was five meters high and more than ten meters long.

This scene was something Zhu Rong had not expected. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted, "How dare you, old man!!"

As he said this, he raised the dragon tablet in his hand and rushed forward, trying to forcibly suppress and seal the opening.

Not to mention Zhu Rong, even Xiao Ran was shocked by the ferryman's cruelty.

"Damn it, this old guy is crazy!!"

Behind the hole was an endless expanse of dim yellow water, which was the Yellow Spring that connected to the underworld. This was different from the holes he had torn open before. Those holes were very small, and the amount of Yellow Spring that flowed out was limited, and the holes would heal soon.

But the opening in front of him was too big, and it would cause the endless Yellow Springs behind to gush out. By that time, the entire Evil Ghost Market would probably be submerged by the Yellow Springs.

Huangquan doesn’t matter. Xiao Ran has swam in it and even drank a few sips of it.

But the things in the underworld are the most deadly.

There are too many horrible things under the Yellow Springs, Xiao Ran has a deep understanding of this.

Take the butcher for example, his body was just randomly pieced together with the things from Huangquan, it was already very scary, not to mention the original ones.

If these things get out, the entire evil ghost market will be doomed.

Zhu Rong held up the dragon stele and forcibly blocked the gap.

He cursed loudly, "You old bastard, you are courting death. You will go to the eighteenth level of hell if you open the Yellow Spring without permission."

"We're all doomed anyway. If you dare to do something dirty, I'll kill you and we'll all perish together."

The old ferryman snorted coldly. This time he had directly overturned the table. No one could have an easy time. However, he did not continue to attack Zhu Rong. Instead, he turned around and steered the wooden boat under his feet, rushing straight towards Xiao Ran.

"Ok??"

Xiao Ran didn't expect that the old man would suddenly turn his spearhead towards him. His face darkened and he took out a guillotine from the space.

I silently recited the word "Taihua" in my heart.

Just as he was about to activate the guillotine and prepare to strike, he heard the voice of the golden toad: "Quick, get down!!"

Xiao Ran was startled by the voice, but he had no time to think. Although he had not had much contact with Jin Chanzi, for some reason, Xiao Ran still had some trust in Jin Chanzi. The moment he was reminded, he lay on the ground.

The movement was quite fast, but it only took the moment that Xiao Ran fell down.

I felt a gust of wind blowing against my back.

Then I heard a loud "BOOM!" and when I looked up, I saw an arc of cold light hitting the wooden boat under the feet of the ferryman.

The sudden attack caught the old ferryman off guard. The hull was severely damaged and made a creaking sound, as if it was about to explode at any time, and was directly overturned.

"Fuck, are you going to kill me too?"

Xiao Ran looked at the cold light with such great power and broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for Jin Chanzi's reminder, I would have been chopped in half.

Looking back, I found a figure slowly emerging from behind me. It was the old witch Xi Mama.

This was the second time Xiao Ran saw Xi's mother. Compared with her calm and elegant appearance last time, Xi's mother now looked much more shabby. She no longer wore those luxurious clothes, and all the gold and silver jewelry on her head were gone.

With his dirty face, he looked like a refugee.

It seems that Xi's mother has not had an easy time during this period.

She was hiding in a room not far behind Xiao Ran, actually less than five meters away from Xiao Ran.

This is also the reason why Jin Chanzi refused to talk to Xiao Ran anymore. He was afraid that they were too close and would be noticed by Xi's mother.

Mother Xi held a big knife in one hand. There were complicated spell patterns flashing on the knife. It was obviously not an ordinary item.

This was a blow that had been accumulating power for a long time, and even the ferryman in his prime did not dare to take it head-on, not to mention that he had already suffered severe injuries. In a moment, the hull under his feet exploded, and at the same time he was chopped away by the residual power of the blow.

"Hi mom!!"

Madam Dongzhu looked at Xi Mama's figure but showed no joy on her face. At this moment, their condition was not much better than Xi Mama's own, in fact, far worse.

Mother Xi ignored Madam Dongzhu and stared at Xiao Ran, just as she was about to do something.

Suddenly, a dull humming sound was heard in the air.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of the underworld. No one knew what made the sound, but it made everyone feel uneasy.

Immediately afterwards, a red shadow emerged from the water, and then rushed over at an incredible speed and hit the dragon monument in front of Zhu Rong.

With a loud "bang", the huge force directly shattered Zhu Rong's arm and knocked Zhu Rong away.

After losing Zhu Rong's control, the dragon stele also fell down.

At this moment, endless Yellow Springs poured out from the cracks...
