Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 913 Another arch-enemy

Xiao Ran's gaze, seen through the bronze mirror, met the empty eye sockets of the half-demon's head!

In an instant, the statue's eyes turned ferocious, its expression suddenly becoming grotesque, and it cried out, "Found you! Found you!!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, booming and deafening.

In an instant, the world turned upside down. The rubble scattered on the ground flew up rapidly, and torsos, limbs, and even tiny fragments were pieced back together by the howling wind!
In the blink of an eye, a five-meter-tall giant suddenly rose from the ground.

The moment the giant took shape, it raised its enormous fist and slammed it down onto the ground.

With a loud "BOOM!!", the ice beneath their feet, which had remained frozen for millennia, suddenly shattered.

Sand and gravel blocked out the sky, crashing down like a tsunami rising from the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran raised her hand and turned to the center, pinching her fingers to displace the nine palaces, and a wave of water suddenly rose up around her, like the waves rising from the ground of a flooded river.

"Boom!!!"

The mud and water collided, producing a deafening roar.

The commotion startled Jin Chanzi and the others who were not far away.

"I'm here!!"

Before Lu Da arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. He raised his staff and swung it, causing the void to explode with lightning bolts. In the next moment, he fell from the sky like a meteor.

I thought that the stone giant would have to raise its fist to block the thunderous attack.

Unexpectedly, the giant made a hand seal and spat out a beam of silver light. The silver light burst forth, splitting into countless flying swords that formed a dazzling sword array that directly enveloped Lu Da.

He then stomped his foot, and several huge stone pillars rose from the ground. In an instant, Xiao Ran felt the world spinning around him, and before his eyes was an endless sea of ​​blood.

"A formation??"

Xiao Ran looked surprised. This stone giant seemed to rely on brute force, but unexpectedly it was using formations.

This stark contrast is like someone with the physique of a bodybuilding champion working as a writer.

Xiao Ran was only slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down.

Upon closer inspection, he saw a sea of ​​blood surging before him, its blinding crimson light sweeping towards him.

As soon as the blood-red light shone upon him, Xiao Ran felt his blood surging, and his internal organs felt as if they were being repeatedly tormented by a fist.

"This formation is truly insidious."

Xiao Ran was secretly shocked. If it weren't for the invisible magical aura protecting her, an ordinary person would have turned into blood after entering the formation for a short while.

He immediately took out the Six-Character Measuring Sword and threw it into the void. Instantly, the suppression was complete, and six great swords appeared out of thin air, falling into the sea of ​​blood like pillars stabilizing the sea.

"start!!"

Xiao Ran let out a soft groan, and six beams of strange light rose from the sea of ​​blood.

The six characters for fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, luck, and career appeared out of thin air above the sea of ​​blood, like six giant whirlpools, continuously sucking the sea of ​​blood into them.

The combination of the Six-Character Measuring Sword and Xiao Ran's curse techniques, given Xiao Ran's current mastery of curse techniques, while not invincible, is certainly unparalleled in the world.

You have formations, I have suppression techniques. Let's see how long your formations can last.

Immediately, Xiao Ran formed a hand seal, and the next second, six strange lights rose and intertwined, resembling a treasure furnace, enveloping the entire sea of ​​blood.

In just a moment, the once boundless sea of ​​blood began to evaporate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"what!!"

A surprised voice came from within the formation, seemingly astonished that Xiao Ran's magic was even more powerful than his own Blood Sea Rebirth Formation. He immediately cried out, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the sea of ​​blood before their eyes trembled violently, followed by an explosion of blood-red light.

The bloody light before Xiao Ran's eyes dissipated. When the formation dissipated, he looked again and saw that the stone giant had collapsed once more, turning into scattered rubble on the ground.

At the same time, countless sword lights in mid-air converged and transformed back into a silver pellet, hovering in mid-air.

Lu Da stumbled and fell from the formation, landing steadily on his feet.

Lu Da's body was covered with dense white sword marks, and in some places his skin was even broken.

After landing on the ground, he yelled, "Birdman, get out here!"

He was physically invincible and had never suffered such a great loss before. He angrily pointed at the silver pellet and cursed.

"You have trespassed into the divine realm and coveted divine objects; your crime deserves death!"

The silver pellet flashed with a strange light and emitted a sound.

"what are you!"

Xiao Ran snorted coldly, raised his hand and grabbed, and six strange lights swirled behind him, trying to cover the silver ball.

Unexpectedly, the silver ball seemed to have learned from Xiao Ran's prowess, and flew hundreds of meters away with a whoosh.

He shouted, "You lowly slaves dare to know my identity? Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

After saying that, the silver ball trembled, and a very piercing scream came from it.

Upon seeing this, Jin Chanzi seemed to realize something, his expression changed drastically, and he flipped himself onto the tiger demon: "Run! This thing is calling for help!"

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The piercing screams seemed to pierce through space, and more and more screams came from among the ruins, on the mountain walls, and even under the ice.

After scanning the area with his spiritual power, Xiao Ran's expression changed drastically. He saw countless dense silver lights rising up in the mountain stream, swarming towards them like locusts.

"grass!"

Even Xiao Ran's expression changed drastically upon seeing this; she had stirred up a hornet's nest.

If one is this difficult to deal with, then so many flying in from all directions, he could turn them into bone dust in an instant.

"Walk!!"

Xiao Ran roared, leaped onto his horse, and steed the Crimson Blood Horse forward at full speed.

"Trying to run? No way!" Yinwan followed closely behind Xiao Ran and the others, laughing mockingly from about a hundred meters away. "Haha, weren't you just cursing me? Keep cursing, go ahead and curse, why did you stop?"

Xiao Ran and the others were ignored. At this point, there was no road ahead. The mountain path seemed to have ended completely here, and all that was behind them were rugged rocks.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran raised her hand and cast a spell, and the soil in front of her immediately cracked open, forcibly paving a path.

Even if it's crude, it's still a road, like building a bridge over a river.

However, Xiao Ran's action was once again met with ridicule from the silver pill.

"Look at this crooked stone bridge, what a shoddy construction project! Oh my, it almost collapsed!"

"This flagstone road is full of potholes, it's not even as smooth as the cobblestone road in front of my house!"

"Hey, you riding the tiger, watch where you're going! Be careful not to trip over the path you laid yourself and fall flat on your face!"

"Run faster! Faster! Otherwise you won't be able to run later!"

Wu Man, Jin Chanzi, Lu Da, and others also displayed their unique abilities, closely following behind Xiao Ran's horse.

Lu Da was tall and nearly stepped into the gaps in the road that Xiao Ran hadn't had time to smooth out several times, which made him yell angrily, "You paved this road like a dog chewed it up!"

As Jin Chanzi hopped aside to avoid a rolling pebble, he glanced back and his face immediately darkened. His voice changed: "Stop making noise! ​​Look behind us! This is going to be a disaster!"

On both sides of the valley and deep in the ravine, specks of silver light, like a punctured hornet's nest, buzzed and screamed as they converged! At first, there were dozens, but in the blink of an eye, they became hundreds, then thousands! Dense and overwhelming, like a dazzling yet deadly silver nebula, they followed closely behind them.

Lu Da shut up, his legs practically spinning like wheels. "Faster! Faster!" Jin Chanzi's voice changed as he lay on the tiger demon's back, his whisk lashing out at the demon's rump, making it howl in pain.

No matter how fast they were, they couldn't outrun the speed of those silver pellets in the sky.

In a short while, countless silver pellets caught up. These silver pellets flashed and converged into a baby face, smiling at Xiao Ran and his group: "What, are you scared now? I'll teach you a lesson."

The silver pellet flashed, and the sky darkened. Then, countless silver lights transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and slammed down on them.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran flipped over and leaped off the horse, throwing out dozens of joss paper papers.

"King Yama is knocking on the door!"

He crossed his hands and bowed to the void. With this bow, a gust of cold wind rose up, and a large door appeared out of thin air, blocking the way in front of the giant hand.

With a loud "bang!!", the door shook violently, as if it were about to be smashed open.

Xiao Ran's face turned pale instantly; the opponent's strength seemed to have increased several times over at that moment.

only……

Xiao Ran smiled.

The kind of smile that's sinister.

The door trembled a few times, and then a chilling cold emanated from behind it. The door was then silently pushed open a crack.

A pair of eyes peered through the gap.

The silver ball in mid-air trembled violently, and an extremely uneasy feeling washed over it.

Xiao Ran grinned coldly. "It's Yama knocking on your door. Yama is the one knocking on your door. But you've gone and smashed Yama's door. Let's see how Yama deals with you."

Behind the gate, those empty eyes were fixed on Ginmaru, and then he opened his mouth and blew.

"call!!!"

A gentle breeze blew by, and the silver pellets in mid-air trembled violently. With a flash of light, most of them fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, in an unknown place deep within the desolate mountains, a coffin suddenly split open.

A loud "crack!" was heard.

The coffin was shattered into pieces, and a shirtless man jumped out of it. The man was emaciated and his body was like a tattered rag, riddled with holes.

His skin was deathly bluish and stiff, just like a zombie.

Even the eye sockets were empty.

The man swayed a few times, then suddenly burst out of the cave, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards the direction where Xiao Ran and the others were.

"Come on!"

Seeing that the silver pill was damaged, Xiao Ran no longer hesitated and immediately shouted for everyone to leave quickly.

Even though most of them were destroyed, they still couldn't defeat so many silver pellets.

The group quickened their pace, not having time to properly observe their surroundings.

The densely packed silver pellets seemed to have learned their lesson and dared not attack Xiao Ran and his group again. However, they did not leave but followed slowly behind.

"Why are these things still following us?" Wu Man looked back and frowned as she saw the silver pellets slowly following behind them.

The thing slowed down, and Xiao Ran and the others breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. However, being chased at such a leisurely pace still put them under a lot of pressure.

"We can't let them follow us like this; we need to find a way to lure them away."

Jin Chanzi also felt that this was not a good thing, after all, it's not the theft itself that's scary, but the thief's lingering thoughts.

This silver pill has suffered a great loss and will certainly not let it go. Only by getting away as soon as possible can we ensure our safety.

Xiao Ran knew she couldn't let these things follow her, but figuring out how to get rid of them was a problem.

Just as he was wondering what to do, Xiao Ran suddenly noticed a wisp of smoke drifting in from afar.

The wisp of smoke, like the smoke emanating from their bodies, condensed and lingered, clinging to a withered tree branch.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran activated [Eye of Rewind] and looked around. Wherever his gaze fell, time and space reversed, and the figures of the group gradually became clear in his sight.

"It's indeed them!"

Upon seeing these people, Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and an idea immediately formed in her mind.

"follow me!"

Xiao Ran suddenly pulled on the reins, changed direction, and stopped running along the relatively open mountain stream. Instead, he headed straight for the corner of the cliff and the direction from which the aura came from!
Although Jin Chanzi, Wu Man, and Lu Da did not understand why, they followed Xiao Ran without hesitation because of their absolute trust in her.

After rounding the cliff, the view suddenly opened up to a relatively flat mountain path.

Xiao Ran and the others quickened their pace along the path.

Strangely enough, as soon as Xiao Ran and the others entered the path, the silver pellets that were floating in mid-air suddenly stopped moving and hovered in mid-air, showing no intention of continuing to chase them.

This scene immediately relieved Xiao Ran and the others, but they did not dare to be careless. If Yin Wan did not follow, it meant that there was something wrong with the road or that there was something more terrifying inside.

"who!!"

They hadn't gone far when they heard a loud shout. A dozen figures dressed in matching dark green outfits rushed out from around the corner and blocked Xiao Ran and the others' path.

These people are all from the Changchun Society, and they are staying here now. It is likely that Yinshan Daoist and the others are ahead.

"roll!"

Xiao Ran ignored the henchmen and rode his horse straight over. Before they could make a move, he flicked his finger, and the surrounding void tightened suddenly. Then, an invisible force snapped his neck.

As the group rounded the corner, their view suddenly opened up, revealing a vast valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only an altar standing in the center.

A group of people from the Changchun Association were seen surrounding the edge of the altar.

Xiao Ran glanced around and immediately spotted several familiar figures.

There were those who broke the taboo, as well as the Yinshan Taoist and several elders of the Changchun Society.

The appearance of Xiao Ran and the others startled these people, after all, this is not a place that just anyone can enter.

"Xiao Ran!" Upon seeing who it was, Po Jin's expression changed drastically. He screamed and took two steps back, seemingly never expecting that this guy would survive his incredible feat in the mine.

"The Dragon Head, the elder is him, he is Xiao Ran, the guy who has repeatedly ruined my Changchun Society's plans."

Breaking the barrier, he immediately bowed to the four elderly people beside him and the young man whose entire body was covered by a cloak.

"Hiss!! Why is he here too?" Yinshan Daoist and the others looked on with strange expressions. The three old men beside Yinshan Daoist glanced at him, and one of them snorted coldly: "This is your good disciple?"

Yinshan Daoist's lips twitched a few times. He had acted out of greed, but he never expected to leave behind such a huge threat. He tried to get rid of Xiao Ran many times afterward, but he never succeeded. He almost lost his life because of this kid.

"Oh, Master, you're here too."

Xiao Ran also noticed Yinshan Daoist and shouted loudly with a grin, but at the same time, Xiao Ran's attention was more focused on the mysterious person wearing a cloak.

He dismounted and strode forward, glancing at the altar in the center. With a forced smile, he said, "Looks like I've come at the wrong time."

"No!"

As Xiao Ran finished speaking, the mysterious cloaked figure stepped forward and slowly removed the cloak: "You've come at just the right time."

As the words fell, Xiao Ran's expression suddenly changed. She looked down at her wrist and saw the Five Dragon Bracelet ringing. She was startled: "Another nemesis."
