Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 223 Who is that? You've mistaken me for someone else!

Mingxing Jushi busily rubbed his three hands together, remotely controlling the giant in the distance with mechanical threads.

What just happened is truly unbelievable.

He clearly saw a statue of a craftsman Bodhisattva that had been suspended in mid-air transform into the shape of an ink-paper fan.

"How is this possible? How did he learn to create a Dharma body?" Layman Mingxing hurriedly wiped the sweat from the corner of his mouth, muttering in astonishment, "This madman actually voluntarily created himself into a Dharma body! Once his merits are exhausted, he will truly become a Buddha! How could anyone voluntarily do such a thing!"

Although time was generally on Mingxing Jushi's side, he dared not relax for a moment. His opponent's ability to forcibly seize control of the giant puppet proved that his strength was no less than his own. If he relaxed even slightly, the scales of victory might tip in an instant.

With a determined look, Mingxing Jushi pulled out two wooden figurines from his robes. They wore eerie smiles and their feet grew backward.

"go with!"

With a soft shout, two giants, just like the ones before, appeared out of thin air again.

The battle suddenly turned one-sided. In a one-against-three situation, Ze Zhishan's Titan was about to be torn to pieces by the other three Titans.

Before Mingxing could even smile, his expression instantly turned serious.

Another giant has lost control. The situation has returned to a stalemate of two against two.

Mingxing Jushi also tried to regain control of the giants, but whenever he was distracted to do so, the giant he originally controlled would be taken away. As a result, not only were the four giants locked in a chaotic battle, but in the unseen void, control of the four giants was also constantly being seized and changed hands.

In the current situation, the extent of damage to any one of the giants will not affect the outcome, because control keeps changing hands, making no difference to anyone. It is foreseeable that even if one giant survives to the end, he will fight with both hands until he completely destroys himself.

In this way, the battle will not end until all the giants are dismantled into parts.

Mingxing Jushi's heart was bleeding. All the fighting had resulted in the loss of his giant puppets! How could he have been so foolish as to summon two more? It was too late to take them back now; it would only create more openings.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of him; the man with the knife cast a long shadow in the moonlight.

"It was you! You did it all, didn't you?" Mingxing Jushi roared at the man.

However, he quickly calmed down and advised Lin Fan, "Hero! We have no grudges against each other, why not join forces! I know you are wanted by the government, now is the perfect opportunity. I will recommend you to Crab Mountain! Crab Mountain is about to start an uprising, and with your abilities and my recommendation, you will definitely be able to secure a position!"

"You only need to do one thing for me! Smash that Buddha statue in the sky, and that will be your pledge of allegiance to Crab Mountain."

When Lin Fan heard the words "Crab Mountain's Pledge of Allegiance," the veins on his forehead twitched slightly.

He took a few steps closer and extended his hand to Layman Mingxing, saying, "You're right, we really have no grudges against each other. But words are not enough; you have to give me some proof."

"A certificate? Where am I supposed to get that for you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Alright, alright. Wait a minute." As he spoke, Master Mingxing stretched out another hand and began rummaging inside his clothes. He was just pulling out something, but it had to look presentable.

Before he could find it, Lin Fan had already stepped forward, and his saber and the sickle that appeared out of nowhere swung down at his face.

"If you're hanging out with Kaniyama, then there's nothing to talk about!"

Mingxing was startled; this had indeed distracted him, and even his last resort was still groping for something in his pocket.

There was no time, absolutely no time to do anything before the knife fell.

Boom!

Lin Fan suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"Old abbot, you must remember to repay this life-saving grace!" Li Hao blew away the wisps of smoke rising from his mechanical hand and walked out of the room next door.

The door has been smashed open with a large hole.

Lin Fan staggered to his feet from the collapsed wall. What was that? A fist?

Li Hao flicked his hand, and the fist that had flown out returned to his own hand, making a clicking sound as the gears tightened.

1, 2, 3.

He broke three ribs.

Lin Fan touched the blood on his chest and the corner of his mouth, and barely managed to get up.

Mingxing Layman complained angrily, "Layman Li! What are you talking about, still mentioning the life-saving grace? Why didn't you come out sooner! I almost died at this brat's hands!"

Li Hao sneered, "Didn't the temple master try to persuade him before? I think if you really managed to persuade him to surrender, wouldn't it save us some trouble?"

"You! Don't you and this person have a blood feud?!"

"Hey, how can my personal gains and losses be more important than our great cause for generations to come?" Li Hao said dismissively.

Li Hao had been lying in ambush here, waiting for the opportune moment. After Mingxing Jushi summoned him with a whistling arrow, he immediately rushed over to join him.

But instead of going crazy to find Chen Wu after hearing about his whereabouts, as Mingxing Jushi had predicted, he said he would stay to "protect" Mingxing Jushi.

"Just as I expected, Chen Wu, no matter how powerful you are or how many companions you brought, as long as you still think about capturing the leader first, you will definitely risk coming here. And once you come here, you will have to pay a heavy price. What's wrong? It must be hard for you to face me alone and covered in wounds, right?"

Lin Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Wait, who is Chen Wu? Has such a person appeared in this book? You must have mistaken him for someone else."

The air suddenly fell silent. The smug Li Hao felt like he'd punched a pillow; he could no longer maintain his composure. "Chen Wu, Chen Wu! You beast, I'd recognize you even if you were ashes! Don't think I won't recognize you just because you're disguised as an old man. Others might be fooled by you, but I won't!"

Li Hao tried hard to observe Lin Fan's expression, but he looked like he had dementia and amnesia, which really didn't seem like an act.

"Chen, Officer Chen!" Li Hao's voice even wavered. Time had passed, and although he still harbored resentment, he had only met Lin Fan once. Could he really have mistaken him for someone else?

As for Layman Mingxing, that old man wouldn't just tell a lie to trick himself into becoming a henchman.

The robust old man in brocade robes in front of me and the thin, young constable in black robes from before only resembled each other in their facial features.

He gritted his teeth and insisted, "Impossible. I was fooled by you once before in front of the yamen, and I will never be fooled by you again."

"Oh!" Lin Fan suddenly realized. "Officer Li! Old people really forget things. No! You beast, I'm going to settle accounts with you too!"

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally returned to normal, Master Mingxing breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if he had truly admitted his mistake, Li Hao would have simply walked away, leaving him with a lot of trouble dealing with the person in front of him.

Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Kid, wait, old man, aren't you underestimating fourth-tier martial artists?"
