Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 880 Give her a chance

When everyone came to their senses, they saw that Po Jin had run away, leaving only his back view, like a rabbit with its tail on fire, and had darted far away in the blink of an eye.

He completely forgot about the mission of the Changchun Conference and the responsibility of protecting the elders.

It's important to save your life!

Seeing this, those who had been standing beside Elder Mu, mocking Xiao Ran, now only showed boundless fear and panic on their faces.

"Damn it, you bastard who broke the ban!"

"Wait for me!!"

"Run separately! Don't gather together!"

The scene was completely out of control. A dozen figures scattered like frightened crows, fleeing frantically in all directions.

"Waste! A bunch of waste!!"

Seeing his subordinates scatter like birds and beasts in an instant, Old Master Mu was so angry that he trembled all over.

After cursing loudly, he immediately took out a cursed object.

It was a box, pitch black, but carved with five maids.

Grade B Cursed Item: Five Desires Box - Spirit Seeder

As the cursed object was activated, the five maids on the box immediately came to life, uttering indescribable sounds.

Old Mu looked up at Xiao Ran, who was rushing down from the sky, his face grim: "Boy, you're courting death."

Having said that, he threw the box in his hand.

Instantly, the box transformed into a streak of black light in mid-air, followed by five maids who stood around Xiao Ran, their arms outstretched, sealing off the void and making it difficult for Xiao Ran to move forward or backward, as if she had been trapped inside the box.

Privileges; the world of novice monks

Once activated, it can completely seal off the target area inside the box.

Cursed items below grade B cannot be activated inside the box.

Duration: 40 minutes
Cooldown time: 3 days

Seeing this from a distance, Wu Man wanted to rush over to help, but was stopped by Jin Chanzi and Qi Jinguang.

"Don't go, absolutely don't go! It's the Five Signs of Decay of the Divine, if you get infected, you really won't survive."

Jin Chanzi held Wu Man's arms tightly. No one knew better than him how terrifying that night must have been. Let alone Xiao Ran, a mere mortal, even a celestial being, no, even a true immortal, would not escape death if afflicted with the Five Signs of Decay.

This is no joke.

At this moment, Jin Chanzi was almost going crazy. He still couldn't understand what Xiao Ran was trying to do, or why she suddenly wanted to go against the will of Heaven.

There are many people in this world who talk about defying the heavens.

But at most, it's just talk. To truly defy the heavens isn't something you can do just because you want to; you might not even be able to find the heavens themselves.

Defiing the heavens is a death wish, but most of the time, such an opportunity is extremely rare, even once in a century.

Sometimes, things just happen to be this unlucky.

How did Xiao Ran end up in this situation?
At this moment, Elder Mu activated another privilege, the Five Desires Woman.

Privilege: Five Desires Woman

Once activated, the eight lustful women appear both real and illusory; once their lust is ignited, they will be consumed by it in an instant.

Duration: 8 minutes
Cooldown time: 8 hours
As the box's privileges were fully activated, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a weight around her as a faint fragrance wafted over, the scent of perfume filling her nostrils.

"My love~"

A warm current swept over my ear, and a woman's voice was soft and alluring, yet it seemed to pierce my heart and bones.

A soft sensation spread through my body, and before me appeared a woman with delicate features. She wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful, but she was undeniably pitiful and endearing.

But in an instant, her eyes were filled with desire, and her red lips were like fire.

The five desires: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
The slightest temptation is enough to lead to utter ruin.

Xiao Ran was originally focused on her own thoughts, but at this moment she found that her body was uncontrollably agitated.

No matter how hard Xiao Ran tried to suppress this restlessness, she couldn't; a visible flame of desire began to ignite on Xiao Ran's skin and hair.

"Hey, no matter how hard your heart is, these physical desires are all under the control of the Five Desires Woman. Whether you follow her or not, it's the same."

Old Mu grinned coldly.

These women of the five desires don't necessarily need to provoke you to ignite your passion; on the contrary, their very existence represents Xiao Ran's own five desires.

You may have the willpower to reject external desires, but you cannot deny your own desires.

This is the truly dangerous part of the Five Desires Box.

Don't underestimate this B-grade cursed item; in terms of power, it's not much weaker than the rumored A-grade cursed item.

"I see."

Xiao Ran instantly understood the reason. Seeing this, he merely sneered, formed a hand seal, and instantly a deathly aura permeated his body.

The next moment, Xiao Ran's skin began to stiffen, and the flames that had ignited on her body were extinguished in an instant. Seeing this, even a well-informed elder like Elder Mu was greatly surprised, and the smile on his face froze on the spot.

But the next second, Elder Mu immediately realized something. He stared at Xiao Ran closely and discovered that Xiao Ran had actually turned her physical body into a corpse.

From life to death? Is this the work of a corpse stitcher?
But then a sinister smile appeared on Old Mu's face: "Hahaha, you little brat, you're really asking for death."

As he spoke, he took out another cursed item, a black cloth covering his head with the character "奠" (meaning "offering" or "condolence") written on it.
Grade B Cursed Item: The Corpse Wrap

"Kid, have you forgotten what I do for a living? I'm still wary of you if you're alive, but if you're a corpse, then I'm sorry."

As spirit planters, dealing with such corpse evil spirits is their forte.

Even Xiao Ran, who belongs to the Corpse-Stitching Master sequence, has to be wary of the Spirit Seed Master's methods.

After saying this, Old Mu threw the shroud in his hand forward.

The veil, originally the size of a palm, immediately expanded to a width of tens of meters, covering Xiao Ran.

The next moment, Xiao Ran took out the [Suppressing Calamity Token] from his pocket and activated it, causing the Yin Marshal's Dharma Image to appear behind him.

Yin Shuai swung his fist and smashed it against the black veil in front of him.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Ran touched the black veil, she was surprised to find that the power of the Yin Marshal's Dharma Image was actually suppressed by the black veil.

The character "奠" on the black veil fluttered, as if an invisible force completely suppressed Xiao Ran's Yin Commander power.

This is precisely the privilege of this item.

[Memorial Offering]

Consume a certain amount of tribute,
It can suppress all B-level beings, including corpses, ghosts, and evil spirits.

The more tributes consumed, the stronger the suppression ability.

"It's no use. Since you've become a corpse, you might as well be a source of material for me."

A sinister smile crept across Old Mu's cracked lips.

What do professionals rely on in their battles? Is it fists and kicks? Is it skill?

Do not!
What they're fighting for is each other's power.

Whoever has higher authority will gain the initiative.

I am a Spirit Master, someone who completely counters the Corpse Weaver.

Xiao Ran's methods were not bad, but when she met him, she met her nemesis.

No matter how great his abilities are, he can't use them at this time.

In an instant, the shroud was placed over Xiao Ran's head, about to envelop her completely.

His gaze fell upon a fleeting, cold smile playing on Xiao Ran's lips.

Is he laughing?

For some reason, a chill suddenly ran through Elder Mu's heart at that moment.

But his gaze was fixed on Xiao Ran, and he had no idea what the guy was laughing about.

Just as Old Mu was quickly reviewing the events of his fight with Xiao Ran, wondering if there had been any oversights, he realized that...

Suddenly, a chilling wind swept up from beneath my feet.

Poof! "

The frozen ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open without warning!
The soil mixed with ice shards shot into the sky like a black fountain, and a terrifying aura, a mixture of extreme cold, stench and overwhelming resentment, instantly erupted from the ground!

A hand, entirely composed of pale, swollen flesh, covered in bluish-black lividity and dirt, accompanied by a shrill shriek that tore through the air, like a vengeful claw reaching out from hell, fiercely gripped the right ankle of Elder Mu, the foot that supported his weight!
The strength of that hand was beyond imagination; its five fingers were like five cold steel rods that instantly pierced through Old Mu's trouser leg and flesh, embedding themselves deeply into his ankle bone!
"Ugh!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream, filled with terror and excruciating pain, suddenly erupted from Old Mu's throat! He instinctively looked down, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints in utter horror!

Through the blasted mud pit and billowing dust, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes that were both familiar and utterly unfamiliar to him.

It was the Soul-Devouring Beast that he had personally crafted!
It turned out that while he and Xiao Ran were making their move, the female corpse from the bottom of the mine silently climbed up and dug a deep pit at Mu Lao's feet, waiting for him to relax his guard before making her move.

"You beast! You're looking for death!"

The pain caused a sudden murderous glint in Old Mu's eyes as he grabbed the whip at his waist.

Unexpectedly, when the whip was raised, Old Mu was horrified to find that the whip in his hand was as hard as a stone. Upon closer inspection...

Sometime during the day, silver threads emerged from nothingness and wrapped around the whip, rendering it immobile.

Xiao Ran's figure was shrouded in a black veil, and her body was already unable to move, but she had a smile on her face. From the moment she took action, her gaze swept across the mine pit, and her eyes met the horrified gaze of the female corpse.

They didn't say anything, but they understood each other implicitly.

What he wanted was to give the female corpse a chance to seek justice.

As for the cursed object suppressed on his body, that was actually the part Xiao Ran was least worried about.

He soon realized that the aura of the five signs of decay was rapidly corroding the shroud covering his body.
