Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 894

"Boom!"

Xiao Ran broke through the ice, his figure like a black lightning bolt tearing through the night sky, crashing headlong into the silvery-white lightning spray that was splashing everywhere!

The jet-black dragon scales covering its entire body emitted a sharp "sizzling" sound as they were swept by the violent electric current. Fine arcs of electricity leaped and annihilated between the gaps in the scales, but could not penetrate even a little.

【Jiaolong Soft Armor - Paper Craftsman】was activated by Xiao Ran.

Privilege 1: Dragon Scale Protection

Physical defense and energy resistance are greatly enhanced, effectively resisting direct impacts from B-grade and below conventional cursed items and skills.

Privilege 2; Spirit Scale Resonance

Once activated, the soft armor will completely cover the entire body, ignoring non-cursed damage such as ice, fire, water, smoke, and electricity.

Feature 3: Nine-life dragon breath

Once activated, the soft armor will absorb the surrounding natural elements and launch a dragon breath attack on targets within a 200-meter radius in front of it.

(Note: The more natural elements absorbed, the stronger the dragon breath attack will be.)
"Huh!!" The Buddha, who was rushing towards them from afar, widened his eyes, showing no fear but rather ecstatic joy.

He leaped up suddenly, his bronze-colored, muscular body bulging like a coiled dragon, creating large ripples in the viscous lightning paste.

When the two met, there was no verbal probing; it was like a meeting between birds of prey—they immediately unleashed deadly attacks.

Xiao Ran's right claw, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, with five hook-like fingers, tore through the lightning curtain and went straight for the monk's heart!
It is the starting move of the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands: Black Dragon Probing Claw!

The claw strike was fierce, carrying a sharp whistling sound that could tear through steel. For a moment, the surrounding lightning seemed to be affected by Xiao Ran's claw strike, gathering on Xiao Ran's arm, like a dragon bursting forth with a terrifying thunderous power.

However, the great monk neither dodged nor avoided, and his giant palm, like a fan, wrapped in dazzling lightning and thick golden light, struck out fiercely!

A blurry swastika appeared in the palm of his hand, and a powerful, sweeping Vajra mudra from Buddhism came to meet him.

"clang!!"

The sound of metal clashing against metal exploded, actually drowning out the thunder that filled the sky!
A violent shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them, causing the splashed plasma around them to swirl and fly backwards!

Sparks flew from the dragon scales on Xiao Ran's claws, and the golden light in the monk's palm dimmed slightly. After each of them took a step back, Xiao Ran took advantage of the momentum of his retreat to twist his waist and spin around. His left leg swept across the monk's waist and ribs with a sharp, tearing sound, like a steel whip!

The leg shadows resembled a black dragon swinging its tail, powerful and heavy, stirring up a piercing whistling sound.

The senior monk's eyes widened in fury, like those of a Vajra, and he roared, "Well done!"

His right arm muscles bulged like iron, and he bent his elbow and slid down, using the tip of his elbow to forcefully strike Xiao Ran's leg whip!

The golden light at his elbow solidified like a shield, blocking Xiao Ran's whip kick as if it were a small mountain.

Bang! "

The muffled sound was like the beating of a giant drum! Xiao Ran felt a slight numbness in his leg bones, the golden light at the monk's elbow fluctuated violently, and the thunderous mud under his feet was dented by the immense force.

"it is good!"

The monk grinned, exclaiming how satisfying it was, but unexpectedly, Xiao Ran suddenly crouched low like a dragon diving into an abyss, then shot forward like a cannonball, his fists pointed like cones, aiming directly at the monk's groin with a tricky angle and incredible speed.

The monk's expression changed drastically. He had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless. Who would strike someone's genitals like that?

Fortunately, the monk reacted very quickly, pressing down with both hands. Golden light burst forth from his palms, and the golden light, like a pestle, smashed fiercely towards Xiao Ran.

This move, "Weituo Offering the Pestle," is incredibly powerful, using offense as a form of defense!
With a loud "bang!", Xiao Ran's figure was pushed back more than ten meters away.

"You almost stole my golden ball."

The senior monk rubbed his crotch with lingering fear, looked Xiao Ran up and down, and his murderous aura grew even stronger.

"Good lad! This dragon skin is tough enough, and your punches and kicks are powerful enough! It's been a long time since I've had such a good fight! Come on, let me see what else you've got up your sleeve!"

He slowly clasped his hands together, the golden light receding, and an even deeper and more vast power began to gather.

Xiao Ran slowly got up, her chest, covered by dragon scales, rose and fell slightly, and she shook her arms, which were numb from the shock.

The bald man in front of her gave Xiao Ran a long-lost feeling of plumpness.

The fight between Xiao Ran and the monk was being reflected in the cave by Jin Chanzi using his Xuan Guang technique.

“This bald monk is all muscle and very difficult to deal with. Unfortunately, this place is also a counter to Xiao Ran. If he fights this bald monk head-on, he may not be able to beat him.”

Watching the two fight on screen, Jin Chanzi and Wu Man couldn't help but feel a chill for Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran's strength lies in his magic and the art of cursing.

With his curse spells, he could even rival a B-rank professional. But right now, with lightning serpents raging here, Xiao Ran's curse spells and magic are most vulnerable to such thunderous power.

Xiao Ran was also aware that he would not have any advantage in physical skills, so he opened his palm and took the [Dragon Abyss] in his hand.

Xiao Ran gripped the broadsword, and incantations surged into the blade. A deep humming sound came from the blade, and the dragon's eyes on the edge opened, revealing its dragon might, resonating with the soft armor on Xiao Ran's body.

"Knife?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the monk's eyes, which then turned into even stronger excitement. His eyes were fixed on the Dragon Abyss in Xiao Ran's hand, and his expression revealed undisguised greed.

"A fine blade, a fine blade, an exceptionally fine blade. I have seen countless blades, and yours ranks in the top five. It's a pity that your skill is too poor; you can't unleash the full power of this blade. You should give it to me."

The senior monk grinned, and with a swift movement of his large hand, a staff appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The moment the staff was drawn, it caused the surrounding thunderous liquid to stir!

The staff was neither made of gold nor wood; its entire body possessed a strange texture, as solid as black jade yet with a dark golden luster flowing within it like lava.

The staff was nearly ten feet long and thicker than a child's arm. Its weight was so great that just one glance felt as heavy as a mountain. The sun and moon knives on the left and right ends, with the monk gently swinging them, gave people a sense of oppressive force, as if the earth were about to collapse.

At the same time, the aura of the monk holding the staff suddenly changed drastically!

The wild and unruly aura of a brute vanished instantly, replaced by a terrifying pressure as calm as a mountain and as majestic as an ancient Buddha!
His bronze skin seemed to be coated with a layer of dark gold metallic luster, and fine golden Sanskrit characters were faintly visible beneath his skin.

Xiao Ran's pupils contracted sharply, the Dragon Abyss in his hand trembled and hummed, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.

Just as the two were getting more and more murderous, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from the horizon.

"Boom!"

In the distance, deep within the thick, leaden clouds churning with endless thunderous magma, a tremendous rumble suppressed the surrounding thunder.

Immediately afterwards, a pure and brilliant golden light, as dazzling as the rising sun, suddenly tore through the thick clouds!

That golden light was not lightning; it was incredibly condensed, carrying a majestic and righteous meaning that could pierce through all falsehoods and purify all evil!

Wherever the golden light passed, the boiling, splashing silver lightning melted away silently like ice and snow, and the violent lightning field was instantly calmed and purified! It illuminated a distant area as if it were a sacred pure land.

The monk, who was about to make his move, suddenly looked up at the dazzling golden light that broke through the clouds, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

"A connection with Buddhism! Hahaha! An incredible connection with Buddhism!"

The monk let out a wild laugh, his voice so loud it sent thunder and splashes everywhere, and he no longer had any intention of getting entangled with Xiao Ran.

He didn't even glance at Xiao Ran again, as if she were as insignificant as dust.

"Kid! You're lucky! I'll have you try your skills with my knife another day!"

After speaking, the senior monk put away his staff, pushed off with his legs, and the mud and rocks beneath his feet exploded. He shot up into the clouds at the speed of a meteor, and then fell into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing the monk suddenly run away, Xiao Ran slowly put Long Yuan down. The dragon scales covering his entire body receded like a tide, revealing a solemn expression.

He looked up at the faint, yet still unsettling, golden light breaking through the dawn, his brow furrowed.

The fact that this great monk rushed over so recklessly must mean that some extraordinary treasure had appeared.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran summoned the Head-Slaying Sword, leaped up, and chased after it at high speed, stepping on the sword's edge and skimming the ground.

"What is that golden light?" Inside the cave, Wu Man looked at the scene in the Xuan Guang Technique and grabbed the ginseng spirit to ask.

"It is a treasure ship, the legendary treasure ship, but it only appeared for a short time. I have only seen it twice."

The ginseng spirit dared not lie and quickly spoke up.

Within Changbai Mountain, there are four treasure ships: one of gold, one of silver, one of jade, and one of iron. Each treasure ship contains many treasures created by heaven and earth.

It only appears briefly at a specific time and after a specific weather condition.

Not only are there rare treasures on board, but it is also said that boarding the treasure ship allows one to quickly enter Changbai Mountain along a special route.

"Hey, what are we waiting for!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Man immediately stood up, tossed the golden toad to the tiger demon, and mounted her horse, saying, "Let's go, let's go after them and see."

The thunder outside had stopped, but the sled was no longer needed; it was too slow.

However, the tiger demon and the crimson horse were quite fast, leaping up quickly and running through the snow towards the golden light.
