Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 273 Guandi Appears
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

This is the truth. Everyone knows that Lady Tieshan is a famous vampire. A happy family was broken up in less than a year because they believed in this vampire.

How many people have lost their wives and children and their wealth because of this Lady Tieshan.

But no one dares to say it.

No one dared to speak before, but now the knife is on the neck, who dares to say anything?

But Lu Cheng said it, his eyes wide open, glaring at the shadow behind the shrine: "I thought you were some kind of god protecting the family, but it turns out you are just like the evil spirits outside, using the name of God to bring disaster to the people, you should be killed!"

When Lu Cheng finished speaking, everyone's heart trembled. Even the Goddess Tieshan behind the shrine was shocked and trembled all over. She felt as if a gust of thunder and an electric fan had passed over her head, making her terrified.

He immediately turned around and looked at Lu Cheng.

But when she looked, she couldn't see clearly the depth of Lu Cheng. She only felt that there were two faint red lights behind this person, and other than that, she didn't see anything extraordinary.

"I guess he is just praying for the blessing of some other gods and is showing off here? Haha, you are asking for your own death."

Thinking of this, the temperature of the Iron Mountain Lady suddenly rose, and a burnt smell began to rise around the entire house.

Seeing this, the faces of the proprietress and others changed. Knowing that the queen was angry, they all glared at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran looked at the furious Lu Cheng and felt helpless. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with them. The proprietress had deliberately left the two of them out.

However, Lu Cheng could not bear to see them killing people and robbing them, treating them like fish to be slaughtered at will.

But think about it carefully, if Lu Cheng could tolerate this, then why would he be favored by Lord Guan?

I believe that what Guan Yu liked about Lu Cheng was not just his tall and strong figure and his singing ability, but these are actually not important.

The most important thing is that Lu Cheng’s character and personality are very similar to those of Guan Yu.

If it weren't for his righteous character, how could Lu Cheng be on this journey today? So this cause and effect was already destined.

The proprietress was also afraid of Xiao Ran's knife skills. She still wanted to fight for it, so she asked coldly, "Why? Are you blaming me for not bringing you water?"

To drink water from each other means to divide the property equally.

The proprietress ignored the two men before because she saw Xiao Ran's amazing knife skills and didn't want to have a head-on conflict. However, she didn't expect the two men to jump out at this time.

Xiao Ran sneered and held the big knife on his shoulder: "Who wants to drink your water? Didn't you hear what my eldest brother said? This thing deserves to be killed!"

"Humph!!"

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, he felt the temperature around him suddenly rise. Then he saw the roof beams above his head explode, igniting a blazing flame.

The flames surged, as if wrapped by an invisible force, and transformed into a giant flaming hand that slapped the two of them head-on.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran reached out to pull Lu Cheng away, but unexpectedly, Lu Cheng did not retreat. Instead, he struggled forward, using the force to take off his clothes, turned his body backwards, revealing the Guandi tattoo on his back.

In an instant, the two red lights that the Iron Mountain Goddess had just seen suddenly opened. It was Guandi opening his eyes, and a tremendous divine power was revealed.

As the saying goes, Guanyin will not save the world with her eyes closed, while Guandi will kill people with his eyes open.

Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and in a trance they saw a red-faced god appear in front of them, shining with golden light, as if he had his own radiant light.

He was dressed in a scarlet battle robe, a wide black belt around his waist, and boots with golden dragon and cloud patterns. He had a majestic demeanor that made him intimidating without even getting angry.

His face portrayed fortitude and compassion, but at this moment his eyes were wide open, like the power of thunder, which made people tremble and gasp for breath.

"what!!"

Then, there was a scream in the sea of fire, and Lady Tieshan was crawling on the ground, trembling.

"God, please spare my life! God, please spare my life! I didn't know the true God had arrived, and I still begged God to spare my life..."

Just now, the Iron Mountain Goddess, who did not take Lu Cheng seriously and thought that he was blessed by some god, was now so frightened that her heart was shattered. She felt like she had kicked a rock.

It's still a red-hot iron plate.

No matter how Lady Tieshan begged for mercy, Lord Guandi gently spread out his palms. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, the void shook, and an invisible force smashed down on her head.

What Iron Mountain Goddess? She didn't even have time to scream. All they heard was a loud "boom". The Iron Mountain turned into a discus and the Goddess was smashed into pieces.

At the same time, at the Tieshan Niangniang Temple far outside the city of Ruzhou, there was a huge crowd of incense smoke. Even at night, people lined up outside the temple gate to burn incense to the Niangniang, just to pray for the blessings of safety for their families.

Some wealthy gentry arrived at the temple gate early, but unlike ordinary people, they went directly in through the side door.

These gentry and wealthy families were all local tycoons, so how could they not know who this Iron Mountain Goddess was? However, they did not come to pay tribute to her, but to discuss business. They wanted her to ensure the safety of their caravans, and after the deal was done, they would give her three-tenths of the profit as dividends.

You see, even if she is rich and powerful, the so-called Iron Mountain Lady, in the eyes of these wealthy gentry, is just a servant who is only a little bit stronger than those ordinary bodyguards.

The abbot of Tieshan Niangniang Temple would personally pour tea for these people enthusiastically and say a lot of good things.

There's no way. They are only getting a tiny bit of profit, which is just a drop in the bucket. Even if you empty out all the assets of the surrounding villagers, it still can't compare to their tiny bit.

As he was speaking, there was a sudden strong wind outside.

Immediately afterwards, there were lightning and thunder in the sky. Outside the Iron Mountain Goddess Temple, everyone looked up and was shocked to see a crack in the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a boot with two golden dragons coiled around it broke through the clouds and kicked down towards the Tieshan Niangniang Temple.

"Boom!!" a sound.

The sky collapsed and the earth broke apart, and the surrounding mountains and rivers were in turmoil.

After a long while, everyone came back to their senses. Looking again, the temple dedicated to Tieshan Niangniang had been trampled into ruins, and the statue of Tieshan Niangniang had been crushed to pieces. Black blood was overflowing from the statue and flowing everywhere...

…“Huff…”

In the inn, the houses had no roofs, and a cool breeze blew over. Everyone only felt the breeze, and the hot air just now was blown away without a trace.

Seeing the shrine that had been smashed into a discus-like shape, everyone stared at Lu Cheng in amazement, their mouths wide open, their mouths dry and their hearts beating out of their throats.

"That was Lady Tieshan, how could she be stepped on and killed like an ant?"

"Oh my god, did I meet a real god?"

Everyone was shocked. The true appearance and might of the red-faced general just now echoed in their minds. They felt terrified and their legs went weak.

Some of the timid ones even knelt on the ground without saying a word, and just kowtowed to Lu Cheng.

At this moment, Lu Cheng's eyes drooped slightly, and the glow on his body faded, as if the eyes behind him had closed again. Seeing this, Xiao Ran stepped forward and put the clothes in his hand on Lu Cheng.

In fact, not only were they shocked, Xiao Ran was also deeply shocked in his heart.

I thought Lu Cheng was a god outside the mystery city, but after entering the mystery city, I found out that he was fighting on his own land?
He showed his divine power as soon as he said it would. He dealt with the evil spirits in the shrine that I might have to spend a lot of effort to deal with just his bare chest.

“No wonder!!!”

Xiao Ran remembered what Lu Cheng had said before: "You are in charge of killing people and setting fires, but you are responsible for slaying demons and eliminating evil."

I thought that the bald old man deliberately instructed Lu Cheng to do the dirty work.

But now it seems that I can only do the dirty work. This exorcism of demons and monsters is really not an exaggeration.

"Bang!" sound.

At this time, the knives in the hands of the proprietress and her group fell to the ground, and their legs were shaking as they looked at Lu Cheng in front of them.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran knew that the rest of the work was his.

He immediately came up with a big knife.

Seeing Xiao Ran coming, the proprietress was so frightened that she trembled and backed away repeatedly, saying, "No, don't kill me, we were all forced. What do you want? Money? We have it. There are a full 120,000 taels of silver in the cellar. It was originally intended as an offering to Lady Tieshan. You can take it all."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver?

Where did this mountain shop get so much savings? You can imagine how many people these people killed here.

Xiao Ran frowned, impatience showing in his eyes.

The proprietress retreated to the window, and sensing the murderous intent on Xiao Ran's broadsword, she turned around and slapped the sealed window, screaming, "Master Heiling, Master Heiling, please save me quickly, I have offered you my sacrifices..."

The proprietress shouted at the top of her lungs, and everyone was shocked again. It turned out that even Hei Fengzi was provoked by the proprietress.

Isn't this just forcing them to death?

Unfortunately, no matter how she shouted, Heifengzi had already run away, and he wanted to run on all fours, as if he had grown two legs.

Are you kidding? The moment Lord Guan showed his divine power, the aura spread out, and all the ghosts and gods within a ten-mile radius retreated. What kind of Lord Black Spirit is even worse than Lady Tieshan? Why doesn't he run? Are you going to send your head to Lord Guan to be kicked around?

"Bitch, kill him!!"

A group of businessmen jumped up angrily, grabbed anything they could get their hands on and were ready to fight this woman to the death.

Just at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a sound of uniform footsteps was heard from afar.

Everyone was stunned and looked back.

With a loud "bang", a group of soldiers rushed in from outside the door.

The leading man was wearing a cape and holding a big knife at his waist. He rushed in and said, "I received a call for help, saying that Black Wind was causing trouble, and I came to quell the evildoer. You don't have to worry. Now that I'm here, I guarantee that you will be safe."

The man's name was Cui Shou, and he was the left general of the local military garrison.

He was already very familiar with the script, but when he finished reciting it today, he did not receive the flattering responses as in the past. Instead, he received looks of disgust from everyone.

"grown ups!!"

Just when Cui Shou was puzzled, the proprietress rushed over as if she had met a savior, hugged Cui Shou's thighs, pointed at Xiao Ran and Lu Cheng and said, "Sir, these two are accomplices of the Black Wind Demon, quickly capture them."

Everyone could not help but open their mouths wide when they saw the proprietress blatantly confusing right and wrong. They had never been so angry before.

But just when someone was about to speak up to defend Xiao Ran and Lu Cheng, Cui Shou's face changed and he hurriedly helped the proprietress up: "Sister, you are frightened. Don't be afraid. Brother is here."

The words "brother and sister" immediately shut everyone up.

Well, no wonder there are 120,000 silver coins in their cellar. Behind this small mountain inn are Lady Tieshan, Heifengzi, and even the garrison troops are their people.

At this moment, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

Cui Shou glanced at Lu Cheng, who was sitting upright on the chair with his eyes slightly downcast, and Xiao Ran, who was standing beside him with a big knife, and immediately turned cold: "You bold demon, dare to cause trouble here, come and capture him for me."

As he spoke, a group of soldiers were about to surround him, but before they could draw their swords, Xiao Ran snorted coldly, "Who dares!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran put away his sword, took out a token and held it up.

"The governor of Ruzhou is here, why don't you kneel down!"
