Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 630 Suppressing Wu Man
The crimson shadow in the mountain stream suddenly tore through the rock wall, crashing out with a roar, carrying with it rubble and a foul stench. The wild boar that Wu Man had transformed into was now several times larger than before, its bristles standing on end like steel needles, and dark red runes emerging from its crimson skin.

Every bulging muscle seemed to be cast from molten lava. The moment its four hooves stomped on the ground, the ground within a radius of a hundred meters surged like waves, and several ancient trees that would take three people to encircle were uprooted and smashed in all directions.

Xiao Ran's pupils suddenly contracted; this could be considered his first encounter with Wu Man.

When Xiao Ran actually faced Wu Man, she realized just how intense the pressure he exerted.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated dozens of meters away.

With a loud "boom!", the surrounding trees were shredded into wood chips by the red shockwave.

The roars bursting from the wild boar's throat created a visible sonic boom that even caused rocks to crack.

"You don't even recognize me anymore??"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but curse.

At this moment, the others also rushed over following the commotion, and many were shocked when they saw the monster's appearance in the dust.

"Good heavens, is this guy a reincarnation of Pigsy?! It's so big?!"

Most of them were seeing Wu Man in full for the first time, and the few who had seen Wu Man before mostly only saw a blurry outline from afar.

They only knew this guy was big, but they never expected him to be as big as a small mountain.

"Roar!!"

Noticing the growing number of people around her, Wu Man seemed to be agitated at that moment, letting out a low howl before charging towards Xiao Ran.

The mountain rocks in front of them exploded with a deafening roar, and the colossal shadow, carrying a foul wind, smashed through the scattered rocks, with crimson flames surging from its enormous fangs.

"Watch out, boss!!"

Faced with this monster that was comparable to a bulldozer, everyone felt immense pressure even from a great distance.

It's hard to imagine how an ordinary person could deal with this thing.

Even for this powerful figure, dealing with this monster wouldn't be easy, as it's said to be immune to most cursed attacks.

Seeing Xiao Ran's immense spiritual power, everyone subconsciously felt that Xiao Ran might be inclined towards professions that lean towards magic, such as spellcasters, actors, or spirit masters.

If that's the case, subduing this beast won't be an easy task.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Ran made no attempt to dodge this time. He patted the Yin Soldier Gourd at his waist, and several figures immediately leaped out.

"Stop him!!"

Xiao Ran pointed, and the butcher and his men immediately understood. The butcher roared and smashed the bronze bell in his hand on the ground, blocking Wu Man's front. The tentacles behind him spread out like a large net.

"boom!"

The moment the two collided, the enormous impact caused the surrounding ground to crack like a spiderweb.

The Butcher's strength is definitely the strongest among Xiao Ran's many corpse slaves.

However, compared to Wu Man at this moment, the difference is still not small. The two only paused for a moment, and the next second the butcher was pushed backward and plowed out two huge trenches.

At this moment, the butcher let out a strange cry, and the tentacles behind him wrapped around Wu Man's fangs, while the other four tentacles were deeply embedded in the ground behind him.

Using the tentacles for support, the butcher managed to steady himself, then grabbed his bronze bell and began banging it against Wu Man's head.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The bronze bell weighed at least 600 pounds, and the butcher used it like a hammer to smash it against Wu Man's head. The huge sound of the bell made people's hearts pound.

Only then did people come to their senses, and their gazes toward Xiao Ran immediately turned to horror.

"Corpse sewers?? So the boss is from the Corpse Sewers lineage, sewing corpses, receiving corpses... smuggling, oh, I should say smugglers."

They were not only shocked by Xiao Ran's strength, but also awed by the butcher he summoned.

Seeing the bell strike several times, causing Wu Man's movements to slow down, Sanli and Wudang also joined the attack.

Since Wu Dang had no weapons, Xiao Ran casually gave him the [Purple Gold Tiger Support].

Although he lacked boxing skills, Wu Tiansheng possessed immense control over metal, using the [Purple Gold Tiger Support] to specifically target Wu Man's left knee.

The six blades of Sanli flashed with strange light, and the figure was like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, it cut a dense array of wounds on Wu Man's right leg.

Sanli and Wudang, positioned on the left and right respectively, targeted Wu Man's forelegs. Together with the butcher, they managed to force Wu Man to stop her charge.

"Holy crap, holy crap, that's so cool! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to switch jobs and become a corpse stitcher."

Upon seeing this, some people immediately expressed their intention to change careers.

To ordinary people, the butcher is like a demon from hell, but to these beginners, he's incredibly handsome. There are also two other babies whose fighting power is unpredictable.

Sure enough, just as the saying goes, when corpse stitchers fight, it's like a massive army.

However, these words were met with ridicule from many experienced experts.

"Don't even think about it. Being surrounded by corpses every day is enough to make you suffer. Do you know the smell of those rotting corpses? Just passing by the door will make you unable to eat for three days."

"Exactly, you only see the thief eating meat, but you don't see the thief getting beaten. The Corpse Stitcher was notoriously bad at combat in the early stages. If you advise people to stitch corpses, may you be struck by lightning."

These words immediately dispelled the thoughts of many who had just begun considering a career change. "Awoooooo!!"

Suddenly, Wu Man let out a sharp, strange cry, followed by crimson flames erupting from her body. Her size increased again, and her enormous body began to struggle desperately.

Its struggle sent the butcher flying. If the butcher hadn't been holding onto the two fangs firmly with its tentacles, it would have been flung away long ago.

Seeing that it couldn't shake him off, it simply started rolling around on the ground.

Suddenly, everyone felt the earth shake. The enormous creature rolled around on the ground, seemingly shameless, but there was no way to stop it. Even Sanli and Wudang dared not approach rashly anymore. If they were caught in it, they would probably be smashed into mincemeat in an instant.

"How did this guy become like this?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran immediately felt that the situation was very troublesome. In fact, Wu Man's strength was greatly weakened at this moment. It would not be difficult for him to kill her, but to capture her alive would be extremely difficult.

Seeing that if he continued to roll around like that, the butcher probably wouldn't last much longer.

"This guy's mind is probably clouded by something. Actually, I have a way to wake him up."

At this moment, a sneaky-looking shadow popped out from Xiao Ran's arms; it was Qinghao.

After leaving the hospital, Qinghao stayed in Xiao Ran's arms. As a spirit, it was best to reduce its activity after losing its sustenance.

So he was hiding in Xiao Ran's arms for the time being. He was awakened by the commotion outside and peeked out to observe for a while before realizing what was wrong.

"Can you cure it?"

Xiao Ran was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Of course, have you forgotten what our Zhao family does? If we're talking about difficult and complicated diseases, like infertility, we can't help you. But when it comes to dealing with things like a clouded mind and being possessed by evil spirits, our Zhao family is the professionals."

After finishing his sentence, Qinghao said, "But you should try to control him first. This guy is like he has epilepsy right now, and he's not easy to deal with."

"That's easy."

Now that she had a way to awaken Wu Man, Xiao Ran no longer had so many reservations about taking action.

With a tap of his foot, the pool of corpses rapidly expanded.

Suddenly, a cold wind rose from the ground, and the dense corpse aura quickly spread outwards. In a short while, the area within hundreds of meters of Xiao Ran was completely enveloped by the corpse pool.

The crowd watching from a distance was startled by what they saw. Looking at the layer of asphalt-like substance covering the ground, they didn't know what it was and immediately retreated.

"Crash..."

Xiao Ran splashed a handful of guiding money into the air, like a snowstorm. Then, Xiao Ran used her paper manipulation technique, and the guiding money formed a white coffin.

"start!"

He then used both hands to draw upon the energy from the corpse pool, using the paper coffin as a talisman, combining the Zhou family's secret techniques with his own curse-suppressing skills, to activate the evil spirits and create pressure.

"Spirit Coffin Town!"

As Xiao Ran unleashed his immense spiritual power, the paper coffin suddenly turned black, turned upside down, and forcibly trapped Wu Man inside.

Wu Man inside the coffin struggled frantically, and soon the coffin began to deform.

However, Xiao Ran's methods went far beyond that. He used the Spirit Binding Technique from their Xiao family's "Corpse Dissection Record," and countless iron chains shot out from the corpse pool, binding the coffin tightly in circles, then dragging it heavily to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

"Let's get started, and be quick, I can't hold out much longer."

Seeing that Wu Man had been temporarily suppressed, Xiao Ran immediately urged Qinghao to take action. At the same time, he took out three sticks of incense and placed them on his shoulders, using the technique of "lighting incense with life fire" that Old Master Zhao Qingming had passed down to him.

Using the smoke from the three incense sticks, the green raccoon leaped out of Xiao Ran's arms and then its figure soared into the air and merged into the wisp of smoke.

"Look at me."

After saying that, the blue raccoon flew into the coffin along with the wisp of blue smoke.

The people around were stunned by Xiao Ranhua's amazing skills, and many experts present were speculating about Xiao Ranhua's profession.

Believe it or not, some people actually speculated that Xiao Ran's other profession might be a paper craftsman, but none of them recognized the skills Xiao Ran displayed.

But vaguely, I had a feeling that it was some kind of curse or sorcery.

"This pig really is his friend."

On the other side, Jin Chanzi and Qinghai Laomo stood behind the crowd, watching the whole process.

Seeing Xiao Ran taking so much time and effort, unwilling to kill, he was immediately filled with curiosity, wondering who this pig was, as he seemed to be quite powerful.

"It seems he's possessed. I searched through Li Wang's memories and it appears to be a technique used by another leader to break the seal—a mind-controlling barrier. It won't be easy to remove it."

As the old demon Qinghai rummaged through the memories of the King of Strength in his mind, he frowned. If it was a method to break the seal, then breaking it would probably take a lot of effort.

"What's there to be afraid of? There are still spirit immortals, they're professionals at this kind of thing." Jin Chanzi said with a grin, looking at Huang Xiang on Xiao Ran's shoulder.

The old demon Qinghai nodded. This kind of spiritual sorceress's method was indeed the right medicine for the problem. However, the old demon Qinghai soon narrowed his eyes: "Heh, trouble really comes one after another. Look, there are quite a few people who want to take advantage of this pig."

Following the gaze of the Old Demon of Green Bones, they saw a group of people rushing towards them. These people were well-equipped and even carrying firearms. There were at least two or three hundred of them...
