Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 231 Siege and Killing
The strength of Qianbingwei and Shen Kuaidao is actually not much different. Qianbingwei has four arms and three swords (one was lost by Xiao Ran).
Shen Kuaidao has two short swords. Both of them are good at swordsmanship. The difference is that Shen Kuaidao has the blessing of the Henglian profession, but Xiao Ran does not have a suitable cursed object for him, so his strength is greatly reduced.

But even so, the two men's attacks were extremely fierce. They were corpses to begin with and didn't care about death at all.

The two men on the opposite side panicked when they saw this. One of them was a psychic and the other was a skilled craftsman, neither of them was good at close combat.

Because he saw that Xiao Ran was alone and was shot by Jinniu's arrow, he was sure that he was seriously injured and would be disabled.

What's more, they have three people, all of whom are evil professionals with good combat capabilities, and they are not afraid of Xiao Ran's resistance at all.

But who knew the situation would take a sudden turn for the worse.

Not only was Xiao Ran not injured, but he now had so many helpers out of nowhere. What was worse was that the evil professional, the painter, was killed by Xiao Ran before them.

As one gained strength, the other lost strength, and the two men were suddenly thrown into confusion facing the siege.

"Mountain Dragon, save me!"

Someone shouted, but it was too late.

"Whizzing!!"

Two arrows flew through the air and the two men hurriedly dodged, but the next second, the skilled craftsman on the left was hugged by Shen Kuaidao who pounced on them.

The craftsman's face changed drastically, and he raised his hand and threw out a cursed object, a delicate honeycomb hand cannon.

This thing can fire twenty projectiles at a time, and each projectile carries different attribute damage, which can be said to be a powerful weapon.

Even for a master of horizontal training, if he is holding a defensive cursed object, being hit head-on by this thing would be fatal.

"boom!!"

As the trigger was pulled, a roar came from the hand cannon and instantly exploded in Shen Kuaidao's chest.

However, for Shen Kuaidao, such injuries were completely painless and had no lethality at all. There was no change in the empty eyes on his dull face. Instead, he thrust the dagger in his hand directly into the opponent's chest.

"Puff puff……"

The white knife went in, the red knife came out, and in just a blink of an eye, twenty-three knives had pierced the craftsman's heart like a hornet's nest.

Seeing the skilled craftsman being killed, the other psychic became even more confused.

He was in a state of confusion and lost every step, and ended up in complete failure.

In theory, if this psychic could calm down, it would not be easy for Xiao Ran to kill him.

The psychic medium was born with a nemesis for handling corpses, but as he watched his companions being killed one after another, the psychic medium became distracted.

In addition, judging from the methods Xiao Ran had displayed along the way, he didn't look like a corpse collector at all, but more like a battle-hardened master.

Facing the attacks from Senbingwei and the archers, it was already difficult to resist, and the next moment Xiao Ran also rushed up.

The big knife in his hand was swung, making a sharp metal collision sound. Suddenly, the psychic's eyes were filled with a blurry shadow. In just a moment of trance, Xiao Ran's big knife had already chopped the man's neck.

"stop!!"

At this time Shanlong, also known as Liu Sanxiang, also rushed over. He thought that the matter was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen.

Shanlong shouted loudly, but it was of no use. Xiao Ran's knife still cut straight through the man's neck.

"puff!!"

Blood splattered on the wall as the blade created an air wave. Xiao Ran then turned his head. His cold eyes were more like a wolf forced into a corner, which made Shan Long's heart skip a beat.

I involuntarily took two steps back.

At this time, the second master of the Hu family and others also rushed over.

"kill him!!"

The second master of the Hu family has become furious. At this point, without the ancestor of the Five Immortals Hall, their vitality has been severely damaged. They can forget about coming out for the next hundred years.

Li Weiqi and the others couldn't win the fight, but they had to take the things back anyway, so when they met, they didn't say a word and the five of them rushed towards Xiao Ran to kill him.

The strength of the second master of the Hu family and his men is naturally not as good as that of the first master of the Hu family and his men. As for their martial arts skills, they are far inferior to Xiao Ran's swordsmanship.

But the strength of the shamans lies in the hall behind them.

I saw the entrance to the hall behind the five people opened wide, and several dark shadows came out from it, some in human form, some in animal form.

The leader looked like a middle-aged man, tall and sturdy, wearing armor and holding a big knife in his hand.

"I am the general of the Hu family, Hu Zhen, and I will die soon!!"

After saying that, he led the soldiers behind him to attack.

Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of drum sound coming from the hall on the left, and another group of soldiers came charging down.

The young man in the lead was very handsome, holding a sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointed at Xiao Ran: "I am the general of the Liu family, Liu Hanshuang, come here quickly and die!!"

Immediately afterwards, Feng Jingang, general of the Huang family, Deng Sheng, general of the Hui family, and Bai Gu, general of the Bai family, and the three family halls led their soldiers to charge out.

Suddenly, there were flying sand and rocks all around, and gusts of cold wind.

Seeing this, Shanlong hurriedly stepped back. He didn't want to get involved easily at the moment.

The old men who were hiding and watching nearby were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"No wonder, after all these years of going to Guandong, few people have come back alive."

Xiao Ran's face darkened when he saw this. These people from the Five Immortals Hall really didn't intend to leave any room for them. He immediately quickly gathered all of Qian Bingwei and the others into the space. After all, Shen Kuaidao and the others were corpses, so they were powerless to deal with these things.

The curse pattern on his hand merged with the guillotine, causing the blade to emit a bit of evil energy.

【Guillotine·Corpse Catcher】

Privilege 1: Soul Slash

After you use this weapon to injure an enemy, you can launch the Privileged Soul Slash on the target again, causing soul damage to the target equal to 3 times its physique.

When the target is soul-slashed, a soul value will emerge. The soul value is 3 times the target's spirit. Once the soul value is cleared, the soul-slash is considered completed.

(Note 1: The higher the damage you deal to the target, the stronger the damage bonus of Soul Slash will be. If crippling damage is inflicted, the Soul Slash damage will be increased by 40%.)
(Note 2: Increases the damage to ghosts by 30%)

Privilege 2: Blood and Blood Punishment

Due to the special nature of the weapon, the damage to flesh and blood is increased by 25%. For each additional disabling wound, the damage to flesh and blood is increased by 5%.
(Note: The upper limit of flesh damage is 50%.)
Then he took out the [God-Locking Whip] with his right hand and wrapped it around his hand. Facing the sneaky shadow that was attacking him, he swung his sword and shot out like an arrow. Rumbling, the wind from the sword was accompanied by a dull explosion.

Those soldiers who came to kill had no physical bodies, but were just a wisp of spirit being worshipped in the hall of the spirit medium.

Xiao Ran swept his sword forward, and the sword energy rolled, forming an invisible air wave around him, which instantly swept the soldiers into it and shredded them into pieces.

"Taurus, this kid's swordsmanship is really evil!!"

At this moment, Shan Long had already retreated to the side of Taurus and Rat, and turned back to look at Taurus: "If you two fight one-on-one, who do you think will win?"

Taurus didn't say anything, but stared at Xiao Ran with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"It's hard to say." Rat on the side shook his head and said, "If he doesn't use some tricks, I'm afraid Jinniu may not be his opponent. It's strange, why is this kid's swordsmanship so domineering, has he been practicing swordsmanship since his mother's womb?"

On this point, Jinniu next to him did not deny it. He observed for a moment and found that the opponent was clearly [Horizontal Refining], but he had a broadsword in his right hand and a long whip in his left hand, one long and one short, one hard and one soft, but in this boy's hands, they seemed as light as a feather and he used them with ease.

This made Jinniu feel wary of Xiao Ran's strength, and he couldn't help but wonder whether this boy had already advanced to a C-level weapon master.

If so, things will be difficult.

It is no exaggeration to say that C-level masters are rare among all the beginners.

Too little.

If F and E levels are just the entry level of the profession, leaving aside the cursed objects, they are just slightly stronger than normal people. They can bully ordinary people, but their own strength is actually not high.

Only after reaching level D, the advantages and abilities of the profession will be truly stimulated.

The D-level level alone is enough to make about 50% of beginners get stuck at this level.

Not to mention the deeper C level based on these professions.

There are only a handful of them in the entire Changchun Association.

Even he himself was stuck in a D-level profession. As the backbone of the Changchun Society, he had abundant resources at his disposal. It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as he needed something, the Changchun Society would immediately provide it for him.

But he has been unable to take the next step precisely because his understanding of his own profession is far from meeting the standards for taking the next step.

It's too difficult. No matter whether it's the robber, the sixth sense, or the weaponsmith, it's terribly difficult to break through the expertise of any of the three professions.

So this is also the reason why Taurus cannot see through Xiao Ran.

"Die little thief!!"

There was a sharp cry, and a cloud of yellow smoke came out from the soldiers. Feng Jingang, the hall general of the Huang family, rushed towards Xiao Ran with a steel stick in his hand.

“Help me!!”

Feng Jingang let out a long roar, and apricot-yellow smoke came out of the mouths of the soldiers behind him and poured into Feng Jingang's body. For a moment, Feng Jingang's body was shining with golden light, as if he was wearing a layer of Jingang armor.

Even the long stick in his hand was shining brightly with golden light.

Feng Jingang, who had received the blessing, jumped down and swung the long stick in his hand towards Xiao Ran.

With the move "Ape Demon Stirring the Sea", the iron rod danced like a flower, and it collided with Xiao Ran's sword fiercely!
Bang, bang, bang!
A sound like hammering iron was heard.

After three consecutive collisions, Xiao Ran's knuckles were cracked and bleeding.

"Is this a weasel or a gorilla? How can it be so strong?"

Xiao Ran cursed inwardly. His strength was only 45 points, but the opponent's strength seemed to be slightly higher than his.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran no longer held back. He took out the talisman of strength, held it in his palm, and squeezed it hard.

As the talisman was shattered, Xiao Ran's strength was temporarily boosted.

"You used the Talisman of Strength, temporary strength +1"

"You used the Talisman of Strength, temporary strength +1"

"You used the Talisman of Strength, temporary strength +1"

…………

……

With the five-point strength bonus, Xiao Ran's strength suddenly increased to 50 points.

The moment of breakthrough, Xiao Ran could instantly feel that the whole world seemed different...
