Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 845 Group Battle
Liu Mu is right.

One B-level supervisor, four C-level supervisors, plus one project manager.

This lineup is definitely a high-level match.

Seeing Baro Eksi charging towards him, Liu Mu dared not relax his guard in the slightest. His figure suddenly became ethereal, turning into a cloud of black mist that swallowed Baro Eksi's figure.

In an instant, everything went black before Barrow Eksi's eyes. He saw six enormous eyes open in the void, like six mirrors, reflecting on Barrow's body and splitting into five figures.

Barrow looked closely and his expression turned strange. Among the five people were his deceased mother, his best brother, his former enemy, his lover, and his friend.

"Damn, damn!!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Barrow's face suddenly turned extremely pale. He was no ordinary brute who had become a professional; he had experienced countless life-or-death situations. After only a moment of confusion, he realized it was all an illusion.

"Damn bastard, you've really angered me." Barrow took out a cursed item from his spatial storage; it was a golden badge.

Grade B Cursed Item: Champion's Proof - Gladiator

This is a certificate of freedom that only gladiators who have won one hundred matches in the arena can possess.

Privilege 1: Freedom

Activating this privilege will grant you the blessing of the Freedom Aura, making you immune to B-level curse damage.

Ignore all rules and constraints.

Duration: 30 minutes
Cooldown time: 3 days

Privilege 2: Champion

After activation, all attributes will increase by 20%.
Your body will grow to 3 meters tall.

Duration: 20 minutes
Cooldown time: 2 days.

As Barrow affixed the badge to his chest, a golden halo rippled around him, and at the same time, Barrow's size suddenly increased to a giant three meters tall. At this moment, the greatsword in his hand, which was originally as large as a door panel, could now appear as an ordinary longsword.

"Awooo!!"

With a loud roar, Barrow slashed towards the six eyes in front of him.

But Liu Mu merely sneered, "Is that all you've got?"

As Liu Mu finished speaking, his six eyes flashed, and the surrounding void continued to expand, seemingly endless.

"I am the Demon King of the Underworld. This ability to manifest the laws of heaven and earth is enough for you to learn for a lifetime."

While Six Eyes was fighting Barrow, Qinghai was also fighting another professional from Dales.

Dales is known as the God of Fire.

The classes are Shadow Warlock, Archdruid, and Priestess.

As he charged towards Qinghai, the two cursed items in his hands activated simultaneously.

“Great Lord of Destruction, your servants have prepared sufficient offerings for you…”

A deep chanting sound rang out, and Dales' body suddenly transformed into a human torch, raising his palm, from which raging flames erupted in an instant.

Suddenly, a terrifyingly high temperature enveloped the entire inn.

"Compared to the karmic fire of hell, this isn't even worthy of giving me a bath." Qinghai's muscles trembled, his body covered in a layer of blue light, as he charged into the sea of ​​fire.

His current physical body was taken from the body of the Changchun Society's Li Wang when he was at the Fifth Hospital. His body is extremely fierce, and although it is not enhanced by any cursed objects, its demonic power is not diminished.

With a single punch, he forcefully extinguished the surging torrent of scorching flames, revealing a passage leading directly to Dales.

While the two sides were fighting at the same time, Xiao Ran took advantage of the gap and, when he summoned the butcher, he snatched the old bronze bell from the butcher's hand. Ignoring the butcher's aggrieved "squeak" sound, as if his beloved toy had been taken away, he kicked him aside and sent him and Wu Dang to protect Yang Mingjie, who was hiding in the corner, trembling with fear.

Xiao Ran slammed his palm down on the bronze bell with a whooshing sound.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening, extremely dull bell tolled with a strange, penetrating force! A visible gray-black sound wave suddenly spread out, resonating violently with the eerie and malevolent aura already permeating the inn, merging into one!
In an instant, the entire interior of the "Spring Breeze Inn" seemed to freeze. The malevolent energy that had been churning under the dim light suddenly became incredibly viscous, coiling and permeating like a living thing!
"Ugh!!!"

"It itches! It's so itchy!!"

"My skin... what's wrong with it?!"

Sweeping across the gray-black sound waves, especially the patrol team members who had just regained their footing following Yang Zhendong, they instantly felt as if their bodies were crawling with invisible lice, and an excruciating, tingling itch emanated from beneath their skin! The itch was unbearable! They screamed and frantically scratched their skin, leaving bloody welts but unable to stop!

"A curse spell!" Yang Zhendong's face turned ashen. He immediately took out a cursed object from his spatial storage. It was a jade pendant. As the jade pendant was activated, a beam of azure light shone from it, protecting him and the group behind him.

At that moment, a figure, ignoring the effects of the malevolent energy and the itchy curse, shot towards Xiao Ran like an arrow released from a bow. It was Kaslia.

Despite being affected by the [Locust Ranking], Kaslia, a B-rank professional, is still a force to be reckoned with.

A golden luster shimmered around her, and a magnificent battle armor phantom formed from pure holy light appeared around her.

As a B-rank Templar Knight, she naturally possesses strong resistance and purification abilities against evil and curse-like powers such as curses. When the cursed aura approached the layer of holy light armor surrounding her, it melted away like snowflakes meeting a hot iron, emitting a faint "sizzling" sound.

The Holy Flame Spear she relied on was countered by the Yellow List, but that was not her only cursed object.

Kaslia punched Xiao Ran, tearing the sleeve of her arm to reveal a matte black-gray metal prosthetic limb underneath.

She was actually disabled. Xiao Ran had absolutely no intention of discriminating against disabled people, but in this world where even a normal person with all their limbs could hardly survive, it was surprising that a woman missing an arm could achieve such a level.

However, what surprised Xiao Ran was not only these things. On her arm, there were flashing blue LED indicator lights, and the light of spell runes appeared on each joint.

This is not only a prosthetic limb, but also a cursed object, and a product that perfectly blends technology and cursed objects.

"Roar!!!"

The moment the metal fist swung, golden holy light shot out from the tiny hole in the prosthetic limb, transforming into a golden lion's head that struck Xiao Ran.

"Noon has arrived!"

Before the lion's fist could get close, Xiao Ran held his broadsword horizontally in his right hand, and a sun's radiance suddenly appeared behind him.

"Roar!!!"

The roaring golden lion of light tore through the pervasive aura of malevolence and smashed towards Xiao Ran's head with unparalleled force!
"Noon has arrived!"

Xiao Ran's right arm muscles bulged, the Longyuan Blade stood horizontally in front of his chest, the dragon eyes on the blade opened, and the dragon's might and form resonated.

Man and blade became one, transforming Xiao Ran's body into a humanoid dragon, slashing forward with terrifying speed.

Buzz!

The blades clashed fiercely with the golden lion of light!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a tooth-grinding metallic screech and a hissing sound of energy annihilation!
A burst of light! The lion of light formed from holy light was cleaved in two by the blade, like a hot knife cutting into butter!

Kaslia's pupils contracted sharply. The moment her metal fist, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, touched the blade, she felt an overwhelming and uncontrollable force surge towards her like a raging sea.

At the same time, another notification appeared before Xiao Ran's eyes.

"If the privilege [Execution] fails, the success rate is increased by 0%."

This wasn't the first time Xiao Ran had encountered a situation where the success rate didn't increase at all; it was the first time she had ever seen such a situation.

As expected of a B-level professional, Long Yuan's privileges were ineffective.

It's not that Longyuan isn't strong, but rather that my class level only allows me to unleash 20% of Longyuan's abilities.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The two men's blades and iron fists clashed repeatedly at such a speed that the onlookers could not even see the process of their attacks. All they could see was a blinding flash of light and the scattering of golden light.

Xiao Ran became increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed. How to describe it? He felt like this woman was a steel can.

His own broadsword clanged loudly as it struck her, but it couldn't harm her at all.

Considering her stamina of over 200 points, Xiao Ran's heart sank. She couldn't continue to confront her head-on. Long Yuan could withstand it, but she probably couldn't either.

Just as Xiao Ran was pondering how to deal with this tin can,

A sinister and sharp killing intent came from the side and behind!
It was the assassin Kaslia called "Mark"! His figure blended into the shadows like a ghost, instantly appearing in Xiao Ran's blind spot, a strangely shaped dagger with a ghostly green, poisonous sheen in his hand, silently stabbing towards Xiao Ran's ribs!
Xiao Ran's B-grade [Dragon Soft Armor] activated in response!

The jet-black scales covering its entire body instantly stood upright, and a bluish-gray light overflowed from the gaps between each scale.

Clang!
The tip of the dagger struck Xiao Ran's lower back with deadly force, sending sparks flying.

The poison failed to penetrate! But Mark, as a C-level professional "Shadow Dancer" and "Poison Master," was exceptionally cunning in his attacks. When his first strike missed, he slashed with his dagger, and a silent, deadly poisonous shadow blade cut along the surface of Xiao Ran's protective aura toward her exposed neck!
At the same time, he shot a hidden weapon from his sleeve, aiming straight for Xiao Ran's face, but the target was the suspended [Locust Ranking]!
It has to be said that, as an assassin as well, that guy Mars, whom I met in Guizhou before, wasn't even qualified to carry Mark's shoes.

Xiao Ran didn't even notice this guy for a moment. If it weren't for the [Dragon Armor] on Xiao Ran's body, this strike would have been enough to seriously injure Xiao Ran.

But Mark made a mistake; he underestimated Xiao Ran.

Faced with the attacking hidden weapon, Xiao Ran did not dodge or flinch at all. Instead, she concentrated her mental energy and smashed it hard into Mark's sea of ​​consciousness!
"what!"

Caught off guard, Mark felt as if his mind had been struck by a heavy hammer. His assassination attempt froze and distorted instantly. The projectile he fired sparked at Xiao Ran's forehead before shooting diagonally into the roof beam.

He groaned and tried to back away, clutching his head, but while he had come easily, it was too late to leave.

Xiao Ran swung her sword backhand and slashed heavily at Mark.

Mark's mind was a complete blank, but he was aware of the danger. Just as he instinctively wanted to activate the cursed object to escape, a message popped up in front of him that made his heart stop beating.

"Warning: You have been successfully targeted by the opponent's privilege [Execution]. You cannot use cursed items, you cannot move, and you cannot use class skills."

"Fake!!"

Mark cursed inwardly, he had never heard of such privileges. When he looked up, a cold glint flashed before his eyes, and he instantly felt his neck become lighter.
