Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 556 Beheading

"Open the hole!!"

“Boring, borring, borring…”

The shouts of the comb echoed in the streets.

More and more surviving ghost merchants began to pack their bags and prepare to leave this evil ghost market.

"Phew! It's over. What should we do?"

In the distance, Taurus looked unwillingly at Doujiao who was not far away. When their eyes met, Doujiao's face was full of relief. At this point, everyone was already at the end of their strength and no one could do anything to anyone.

Doujiao gave the two of them a thumbs up, then turned his thumb over.

"This bastard!"

Taurus snorted coldly and turned his head away, his face full of self-blame. If he had not gradually lost his nature during the previous parade and accidentally killed the mouse, the three of them would definitely be able to capture Doujiao now.

"It's not your fault. The situation was too weird. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame that guy!"

Shanlong saw Jinniu's guilt and tried to comfort him, but just as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Ran's voice not far behind him.

"You two, who do you want to blame?"

When they turned around and saw Xiao Ran, their expressions changed.

Shanlong frowned and responded, "It's just our bad luck."

Jinniu suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother, this guy is Doujiao on the wanted list. Changchun Society is willing to spend a lot of resources to offer a reward. Let's join forces and kill him. The reward will be yours and we won't fight for it."

When Jinniu said this, Doujiao became nervous and said quickly, "Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. The Changchun Association has been badly hurt this time. How can it have any resources? If you don't believe me, ask them. They are the Jinniu and Shanlong in the twelve zodiac signs of the Changchun Association. Ask them to tell you for themselves, what else the Changchun Association has to offer besides the hospital."

"That's just because you don't know it. Changchun Club is already setting up new businesses, and it won't be long before it reopens."

Shanlong said with a dark face.

"Reopen?" Upon hearing this, Doujiao's smile grew, and then he covered his mouth and laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny.

"Hahahaha… I'm dying of laughter, Shanlong. I used to think you were stupid, but now I realize that I overestimated you."

Doujiao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at the mask on Xiao Ran's face.

"You are from the company, right? The mask on your face should be the Lux mask you just got recently, right?"

"You know?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised.

I just delivered this batch of Hercules masks to Donglongfang not long ago, how come it has become known to everyone now?

I'm afraid the problem lies either with the company or with Tung Lung Square.

"Of course, this matter is no secret. I also know the story behind this mask. It is said that it involves a mysterious city. I don't know the specific information, but what is certain is that if Changchun wants to make a comeback, then they must get this place. Oh, this seems to have an impact on the company as well."

Doujiao's words made Xiao Ran's pupils tighten. He didn't expect that the Changchun Society would target Ruzhou City so quickly. The expression under the mask suddenly became ugly.

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. Even if Changchun Association wants to develop in that maze city, it will never go against the company's policies. It will even help the company obtain a more stable source of goods."

Taurus quickly explained.

"Oh! A more stable supply? You mean, can you get masks like this?"

Xiao Ran pointed at the mask on his face.

"This... I don't know the details, but the head of the association is already trying to find a way to start shipping. With the financial and material resources of the Changchun Association, it is not difficult to get a source of supply. You should know that the Changchun Association is most willing to be tied to the company."

"But I don't want to."

Xiao Ran sighed and took off the mask slowly: "After all this talk, it turns out you guys were targeting me. In that case, you two should stay here."

When the mask was taken off to reveal Xiao Ran's face, Taurus and Shanlong were shocked, especially Taurus, whose eyes were like copper bells.

“How could it be you!!”

Back then in Mengchi, the two had a fight but the outcome was undecided. But now when Xiao Ran appeared in front of him again, Jinniu felt unprecedented pressure.

Xiao Ran slowly pulled out the guillotine from the space and looked at Dou Jiao: "I'll count to three. Either you disappear from my sight, or I'll kill you too!"

Doujiao wanted to say something after hearing this, but Xiao Ran had already started counting.

"1!"

"Don't! I'm leaving now. I hope you have fun!"

Doujiao placed one hand on his chest, bowed slightly to Xiao Ran as a gesture of farewell, then quickly jumped off the roof and left quickly with the ghost merchant below.

As soon as Doujiao left, Taurus and Shanlong suddenly felt they were facing a formidable enemy.

"I'll cover you later, you retreat first!"

As he spoke, Taurus took out the two-handed sword from the space. This sword had some different colors than the last time, and there was a faint blue light flashing on the blade. It was obvious that it had undergone some kind of upgrade.

"Let's go together. If we join forces, we may be able to escape unscathed!"

They are not sure about Xiao Ran's strength yet, but judging from their previous contacts, this guy should be about the same as Doujiao.

At best, they are only C-level. Even if the two of them cannot defeat the enemy together, they can still cover the retreat together.

Having said this, Shanlong took out his weapon from the space, a stick called a flower stick.

Xiao Ran remembered that Shanlong's profession was D-level in both Huazi and Baixi. He wondered how much his strength had improved after so much time had passed.

But Xiao Ran was not interested in checking them one by one.

He raised his hand and patted the [Yin Bing Gourd] on his waist. In an instant, the Butcher, Liumu, the Snake Girl, the Archer, the Painter, and Sanli were released all at once by Xiao Ran.

Liumu was not wearing the Nuo opera mask at the moment, and his tiger face was exposed. With the snake girl and the painter beside him, the faces of these former companions, Jinniu could not help but open his eyes wide: "Fuck your grandma, I'll kill you!!!"

Taurus raised the greatsword in his hand, and a faint golden light flashed on the two-handed greatsword. As the curse pattern [Robber] on his arm merged into the greatsword, a tiger roar came out from the sword. Then his legs slightly bent, and the next second the wooden board on the roof under his feet exploded. Before the man rushed in front of him, the violent wind had already made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Boom!!!"

A huge bell sound echoed over the market.

Taurus looked at the figure blocking his way in astonishment. The body in front of him was like a mountain of flesh, but its speed was completely beyond Taurus's expectations. It was clearly so far away from him just now, how could it be blocking Xiao Ran so quickly.

Before Taurus could react, the huge tentacle lashed at him the next second.

Taurus, as the top master among the twelve zodiac signs, is by no means comparable to ordinary beginners. He uses the move of Pipa to cover his face and blocks the big sword in front of him, while another cursed object appears in his hand.

"boom!"

Under the pressure of the huge force, Taurus suddenly felt that his arms were about to break. The power of the tentacles was like a truck hitting him.

But at the moment when the tentacle was blocked, the cursed object in the other hand was quickly activated, and a golden seal suddenly flashed in the palm of his hand.

D-level cursed item [Vajra Seal·Six Senses]

Privilege 1: Sixth Sense Blockage

Seal the target's six senses temporarily, making them unable to move.

"King Kong's Fury!!"

Taurus activates his second privilege, dealing 3 times his own mental damage to the target while the target is sealed.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in the butcher's mind.

The severe pain caused the original seal to be lifted, but what Taurus could not have imagined was that the next second the butcher raised the bronze bell in his hand, and the six tentacles hit the bronze bell in unison.

"Boom!!"

The loud sound of the bell made Taurus dizzy, as if someone hit him on the head with a wave.

call! !

While Jinniu's body was stiffening, Liumu and Sanli had already rushed over.

Sanli held two brand new long swords, plus the original four, the six blades formed a terrifying gust of wind and slashed down.

Liumu put on the Nuo opera mask again, his whole body flashing with black flames, and he punched Taurus with his simple and rough fists.

"Be careful!!"

Fortunately, Shanlong joined in in time. The beggar's stick in his hand shook out countless afterimages to help Jinniu block the blade. At the same time, he raised his hand and a wooden box similar to the shape of a freezer appeared out of thin air in front of him.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Three arrows were nailed heavily on the box. If Shanlong had moved a little slower, these three arrows would have probably pierced his throat.

"Magic Box, Hundred Plays."

Shanlong pulled Taurus over and activated the wooden box in front of him. The box opened and swallowed the two men inside, waiting for the butcher to scream and smash the bronze bell in his hand on the box.

With a "bang!", the box was scattered into countless petals by the impact of the bronze bell.

"Whoosh..."

The petals scattered all over the sky and the ground.

Everyone seemed to be surrounded by a sea of flowers.

Xiao Ran looked at the petals in front of him, and flashes of fluorescence flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Suddenly, Xiao Ran raised the sword in his hand. The blade was as sharp as lightning, and a ten-foot-long cold wind was blown up. His figure flashed and rushed forward: "Kill!!"

The blade made a tearing buzzing sound, and after a large piece of sparks was slashed in the air before eyes, blood spurted out, dyeing the petals all over the sky red.

The figures of Taurus and Mountain Dragon emerged from the flowers.

Taurus held the sword in both hands and stared at the big knife in front of him.

Shanlong, on the other hand, looked at his severed arm in disbelief, and then looked at Xiao Ran in shock.

Xiao Ran looked at the big sword in front of him, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face: "Your sword has not improved at all."

"Fuck you."

A beast-like roar burst out from Taurus' throat, and his muscles suddenly swelled up and burst his clothes. Under his muscles, pale golden spell patterns flashed, and these spell patterns lit up along the spine. He kicked the floor under his feet and swung his two-handed sword with a full moon arc of light. After forcibly shaking Xiao Ran away, he raised the sword high and split it into twelve golden afterimages and slashed towards Xiao Ran.

"slow!"

Xiao Ran stepped back half a step, and a golden light flashed on the guillotine in his hand, as if a dragon shadow was wandering on the blade.

“Taihua!!”

When the word "Taihua" struck Xiao Ran's teeth, the knife light in Taurus' pupils suddenly turned bronze rusty. He saw a god sitting cross-legged behind Xiao Ran, shining like an ancient legend, but the light emanating from it was dull, dead silent, and cold, as if it was the end of all things.

Taurus widened his eyes, trying to see the face of this god clearly, but the other party was holy, lonely, and inviolable in the cold white light. He just threw a beheading token at him.

"cut!!"

The roar of killing blows coming from all directions filled Taurus's mind, and his fleeting life flashed before his eyes.

Life is fleeting, one thing after another. It seems long, but it passes by in the blink of an eye. Taurus doesn't even have time to savor these times before they are gone in a flash.

"Bang!"

Until the sword in his hand made a sharp cracking sound, and the broken blade in front of him was reflecting a red line on his neck. The red line became larger and larger until boiling blood gushed out...
