Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 620 Melee
Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly from beneath his black brocade boots on the clouds, and the entire gloomy area collapsed as if it were fragile glass.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."

The sound of stealing jade, carrying the aftershocks of thunder, shattered the hospital's glass curtain wall. Flickering, uncertain runes floated among the fallen strands of snow-white hair.

His godlike demeanor not only terrified Zhao Hongzhong and his group, but also shocked Pumpkin and his companions.

"My God, this...this...this is a god, right?!"

"The internet didn't say you could cultivate immortality inside the Lost City, did it??"

Zhao Hongzhong and the others felt their hearts pounding. These beginners had only just entered the labyrinth, and some of them hadn't even truly completed a single labyrinth mission.

Faced with the unparalleled treasure before him, he was naturally overwhelmed with emotion and his heart was in turmoil beyond measure.

"Hey, hey, hey, shut your mouths! This is all fake. He hasn't even arrived yet, why are you all so scared?"

Among the crowd, Jin Chanzi scoffed at the Jade Stealer that floated above the gloom.

In fact, it wasn't just him; even the green raccoon was squatting by the window, turning its head away in disdain at the scene.

It's just a facade created by some unorthodox methods. It might fool laymen, but experts can see through it at a glance.

"Young Taoist Master, is this... a fake?" Seeing that Jin Chanzi remained calm and even mocked coldly, Zhao Hongzhong and the others felt much more at ease and asked what was going on.

Jin Chanzi waved his hand: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let me put it this way, he didn't actually come. He just used some clever tricks. His true self is probably a hundred thousand miles away."

Seeing that Zhao Hongzhong and the others still looked confused, Jin Chanzi slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, just think of it as the primordial spirit leaving the body."

"Oh!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongzhong and the others suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Then... can we win?"

"we?"

Jin Chanzi glanced back at Zhao Hongzhong, which immediately made them lower their heads in embarrassment.

At this moment, Qinghao suddenly spoke up: "We definitely can't beat them in a fight, but we can scare them a little, that's not out of the question."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea, but how do you plan to do it?"

Qinghao stared at the thick haze in the sky, noticing the billowing clouds behind it and the occasional ghostly shadows flickering within. He said, "This person is just relying on the power of that evil spirit behind him. We'll just scare that thing behind him."

"good idea."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi thought it was a good idea and quickly came up with a good plan.

He turned to Zhao Hongzhong and the others and asked, "Which of you is a virgin?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment, then their faces turned bright red.

"Alright, I'll have to come myself. Follow me."

Seeing this, Jin Chanzi stopped talking and led the group to the hospital rooftop via a fire escape.

As soon as they went upstairs, everyone felt a cold wind blowing through them, and they felt like they were about to shiver.

Jin Chanzi looked up at the gloomy sky above him, and his face became unusually serious.

He then took out a red inkstone from his sleeve and instructed Zhao Hongzhong and the others: "When you stand in position, no matter what you see or hear, don't pay attention to it. As long as you don't move, even if the other side is a real god, they can't do anything to you."

"Okay, we've got it. Even if the sky falls, we won't budge."

Jin Chanzi then had his men stand in a nine-square grid, then took out an ink line, wrapped it around their wrists, and took out several yellow talismans from his pocket and hung them on the ink line.

After confirming that there were no problems, he sat in the central palace, took out a whisk from his sleeve, and gently swept it.

"Boom!!"

A faint, circular halo slowly rippled outwards from the golden toad...

Meanwhile, elite troops from Changchun who were rushing to provide support have already begun entering the hospital.

"Leave no survivors, kill them all!!"

Pumpkin waved to the crowd, signaling them to rush straight into the building.

He then looked at Li Wang and said, "I am still more restrained by him. In a direct confrontation, I am no match for him. Brother Li, I still need you to help me back up. If necessary, destroy Zhang Jingmin directly, make his mission fail, and naturally eliminate him as well."

"it is good."

Riki nodded with a gloomy face, and the two followed behind the group, one in front and one behind.

At this moment, Xiao Ran was in the attic, holding a razor with the [Luban Hand] on his shoulder, carefully removing the blood vessels and nerves connected to the girl's body from the tumor next to her.

Xiao Ran herself carefully sewed the curse marks into the girl's body, layer by layer.

To be able to multitask means that Xiao Ran's mental strength is strong enough and her skills are proficient enough to dare to do so.

"That's pretty much what I thought. Although she didn't actively choose to become a beginner, as long as the runes can be integrated into her body, there won't be any problems."

Xiao Ran used his fingertips to manipulate the curse runes with silver threads, forcibly sewing them into the girl's body.

Once the runes have fully fused, it signifies that the girl has officially become an F-rank beginner, with the profession: [Blood Fusion].

But this is far from meeting Xiao Ran's requirements. He needs to help the girl advance to at least E-level.

"Ok!"

At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly paused, frowned, and looked behind her.

He then patted the [Gourd of Yin Soldiers] at his waist.

As a black wind surged out of the Yin Soldier Gourd, six black figures appeared out of thin air behind Xiao Ran.

Wu Dang, Sanli, the Butcher, Liu Mu, the Painter, and the Archer stood there in a row.

"Kill!" Xiao Ran squinted and simply moved his lips. Immediately, Wu Dang opened his eyes and rushed down from the pavilion first, followed by Sanli, the Butcher, the Painter, and the Archer.

Only Liu Mu remained unmoved, staring at Xiao Ran's retreating figure as he asked, "Where is Old Demon Qinghai?"

Xiao Ran didn't respond. Seeing this, Liu Mu shrugged and said, "Alright, I just wanted to tell you that Qinghai Old Demon is very cunning. You mustn't be fooled by him."

"understood."

Xiao Ran responded indifferently. Seeing this, Liu Mu didn't say anything more, got up, and leaped down from the pavilion.

The six corpse slaves were extremely fast, splitting into three groups and rushing down three different staircases.

In just a few breaths, Sanli met up with the Changchun group on the fourth floor.

The six gleaming blades crashed down like a storm, leaving sparks flying and leaving countless knife marks on the surrounding walls and doors.

"what??"

"Go together!!"

The few who charged ahead in Changchun were all highly experienced fighters, but they showed no intention of backing down when they saw the situation.

Several people activated their cursed objects. Some wielded sticks and transformed into fire apes, while others held knives, their bodies flashing with various halos. At the same time, a whole host of chaotic curses came crashing down on them.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of explosions, like fireworks, erupted in the corridor. The longsword in Sanli's hand flashed with runes. The two professions, [Enchantment] and [Exorcist], enhanced Sanli's weapon with the former and made the blade glow with a golden light. When it touched an incoming curse, there was a chance to deflect the curse.

Suddenly, Sanli's long sword, wreathed in golden light, slashed down.

Upon seeing this, a middle-aged man wielding a staff suddenly burst forth with bluish-purple flames from his hands, managing to grab the three-centimeter blade with his bare hands just as it touched his brow.

In that instant, the other two people beside him seized the opportunity and attacked from both sides. One of them pierced through Sanli's heart with a knife, while the other stabbed into Sanli's throat.

The group worked together to severely injure Sanli, but before they could even feel happy, Sanli's six arms spun simultaneously, and in an instant, a lotus-like blade shadow bloomed in the air with Sanli at its center.

Along with the explosion, the three people's heads also spun around.

"This guy isn't alive! Don't engage him in close combat!"

It was only then that people realized how troublesome the three-cent mark was.

But what they faced was not just three cents.

"Boom!!"

A loud chime came from the fifth-floor corridor. A huge black shadow leaped lightly down the stairs. Before many people could see what it was, a terrifying pressure swept over and smashed an unlucky man into the concrete wall.

"I'm starving!!"

The butcher's abdomen split open, revealing crisscrossing teeth, and his enormous body charged forward at a speed beyond human comprehension.

Someone immediately used a cursed object to try to control the Butcher, but the Butcher was even more ferocious than Sanli. The tentacles from the underworld were not afraid of any attack and quickly grabbed a beginner and stuffed him into their mouth.

Besides the butcher, the painter and the archer accompany him. One arrow after another is shot out from unexpected gaps, while the painter follows behind the butcher at a leisurely pace, finishing him off.

A butcher like a bulldozer, an archer skilled at lurking in the shadows and sniping from the shadows, and a painter who uses tattoos to finish off enemies at mid-range—this trio managed to rout the Changchun gang.

"These are his corpse slaves!!"

At this moment, Pumpkin and Li Wang hid in the shadows. The two did not rush to make a move, but chose to observe coldly, wanting to see clearly the methods of Xiao Ran's corpse slaves. However, after seeing these corpse slaves with explosive combat power, Pumpkin had to sigh that Xiao Ran's foundation was really solid.

These corpse slaves alone are already equivalent to an elite force of the Changchun Society.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Several flying blades suddenly flashed through the air.

Wu Dang's figure slowly emerged from the corridor.

He simply raised his palm, and instantly, all the metal around him began to tremble violently, including the clothes people wore and the cursed objects in their hands.

With a gentle flick, countless metal fragments instantly pierced through the cement wall, instantly piercing through all four people in front of them.

"A C-grade corpse slave!"

Pumpkin, hiding in the shadows, was shocked when she saw this scene. She knew that Xiao Ran, as a corpse sewing master, must have extremely strong trump cards, but she did not expect that this guy would even have the corpses of professionals.

"Brother Li, protect me! I'm taking this corpse!"

Pumpkin's face was already brimming with undisguised excitement; the corpses of professionals were treasures she could only dream of.

For others, encountering such a corpse might be a headache, but for Pumpkin, it's a golden opportunity. As a spirit master, she naturally has the ability to subdue corpse sculptors and can easily take over the corpse to make it a breeding ground for her spirits.

As soon as Pumpkin finished speaking, she summoned all her spiritual energy. Even she dared not be careless when dealing with a corpse of this level, and had to do her best to control the corpse as soon as possible.

Pumpkin then took out his scepter, from which various strange golden lights appeared, bestowing various positive statuses upon all the spirits: "Go!"

As soon as Pumpkin finished speaking, several spirits immediately rushed towards Wudang.

Wu Dang also noticed these sudden spirits, but his stiff face remained unchanged. He simply raised his hand and unleashed the metal storm once more.

Unexpectedly, the countless metal fragments that attacked failed to severely injure these spirits. Instead, they caused the spirits to quickly approach him, transforming into streaks of dazzling golden light that pierced into Wu Dang's body.

"It's done!"

Seeing this, Pumpkin couldn't hide the smile on his face, and then he took out a golden copper coin from his space with a smile.

This item isn't a cursed object, but it's a Laoshan money-making item specifically designed to target zombies.

As long as there is a corpse nearby, this coin will point at the target. All you need to do is hang it around the target's neck, and even the legendary flying demon will be suppressed.

However, just as Pumpkin held the coin in his hand, the coin with the red string attached began to tremble violently, and then suddenly pointed at Li Wang beside him...
