Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 248 The Cunning People of the Central Plains

"Brother! It's him! He stole my jade pendant!"

Lan Hanyin and the long-haired Gu corpse both turned to look at Lin Fan. For a moment, it seemed as if all the pressure in the room was concentrated on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan counted out two Power Pills and swallowed them.

Fourteen pills remain.

He calmly observed his surroundings. Judging from the inconsistent clothing and weapons of these Gu corpses, they must belong to this side.

The Gu corpses, uniformly armored and armed, did not come over from the Path of Fate.

It seems the Gu corpse in the Path of Fate is temporarily uncontrollable because he took the Jade Pendant. As for that strange hairy zombie, it doesn't seem to need the Jade Pendant's control; Lin Fan even suspects it has its own consciousness, and killing Lan Hanyu might not be enough to stop it.

Therefore, Lin Fan's target is clearly Lan Hanyin. Once he eliminates Lan Hanyin, only Mao Jiang, the lone king, will remain. Moreover, it seems to care a lot about protecting Lan Hanyu, and will inevitably retreat if it can no longer protect her.

"Fine, you dared to take the Jade Pendant. Hand it over, and I'll give you a quick death," Lan Hanyin said viciously, pointing at Lin Fan.

Just when everyone thought Lin Fan would say something harsh and then take action, Lin Fan took out the jade pendant from his pocket and said, "I can return it to you. I don't need it. But you have to let us through here."

Lan Hanyin: "You're already a dead man, killing you is no different... Ouch."

Lan Hanyu twisted Lan Hanyin's arm and stamped her foot, saying, "Second brother, just agree to him first. Getting my treasure back is the most important thing."

Lan Hanyin shook off Lan Hanyu's hand, "What do you know, little girl? Their experts are all gone, it's the perfect time to weaken them, and I've already released the sub-Gu, this slaughter will increase the number of Gu corpses!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan silently put the jade pendant back and drew his sword. "Sigh, if only my words could be of some use someday."

Lan Hanyu puffed out her cheeks in anger and turned to Lin Fan, saying, "Hey, you! I'll let you go, but give me back the Jade Pendant, okay?"

Logically, Lin Fan had no need to protect the bandits, but he was worried that the Living Curse would accurately locate him, and he needed these bandits to help him take advantage of the chaos, so he shook his head and refused.

"Senior is righteous!"

"Senior, don't listen to that witch! People from the Southern Frontier are cunning and cannot be trusted!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Hanyu angrily retorted, "You Central Plains people are so cunning!"

The bandits, shouting "Senior, you are so righteous!" rushed forward, using their bodies to block the black and white zombies. They were afraid of death, but not afraid to fight. Having lived a life of constant danger, they all knew that in a narrow encounter, it was either you die or I live. Previously, seeing no hope of defeating the Lan siblings, they had naturally fled. Now, with their senior holding the line, they were determined to help him hold off these "fodder" and prevent them from causing trouble.

These people include river bandits and "outlaws" of unknown origin. Some of them are quite cunning, and now they are all pulling out weapons or magical artifacts of various shapes, revealing their trump cards for survival. Regardless of how much damage they can do, they can at least fool the Gu corpses whose intelligence is almost zero.

Of course, some methods that would normally work well on humans are completely ineffective because the Gu corpse has zero intelligence. For example, there was a scroll that could loop erotic paintings of ladies; the Gu corpse was completely unaffected, but it distracted the bandits, who had to put it away amidst their curses. However, the bandits were still quite righteous, actively protecting this chivalrous hero and promising to let him perform that move at the victory banquet after this battle.

Roar!

The nine-foot-tall hairy zombie roared and charged towards them. Both the Gu corpses and the water bandits tacitly made way for him, leaving only Lin Fan in front of him.

Lin Fan had just used his sword energy and couldn't quickly gather the energy for another strike. However, he flicked the mechanism on the mechanical hand with his right hand, and the hand clicked and quickly transformed into a assembled shield.

Boom!

The fist, the size of a sandbag, slammed into the mechanical shield, but was caught firmly. The shield seemed to have a spring-like structure at the back; a slight contraction dissipated much of the force. Combined with Lin Fan's full-body squatting and bracing against the shield, he wasn't sent flying by the punch.

The power of the Mao Jiang has exceeded the limits that humans in this world can exert. Unlike fourth-tier martial artists who excel in skills and perception, the Mao Jiang only possesses pure, overwhelming power.

Lin Fan had clearly sensed before that even if he took three strength pills, he wouldn't be able to fight this thing head-on.

Mao Jiang unleashed a full-force punch without reservation, striking the mechanical shield on Lin Fan's left hand. The sound wave transformed into a tangible airflow, overturning everything around them. Lin Fan, who took the punch head-on, was like a small boat in a storm, yet he remained firmly in place.

After delivering a full-force punch, Mao Jiang's strength began to wane slightly. At that moment, the Crane Spirit Wood Spring, compressed to its limit, began to exert its power, and with a hum, it actually forced Mao Jiang to take a few steps back.

"it is good!"

"You're awesome, senior!"

"Senior, kill this hairy monster!"

A cheer erupted from the bandits. The senior hadn't been exaggerating; he'd withstood the zombie's attack and even repelled it. This was a sure thing. And the senior hadn't even drawn his sword yet!

No one knew the terror of the hairy zombie better than these bandits. Most of them, however, were unaware that this hairy zombie was the guardian of destiny. Their impression of its terrifying power came from the time the hairy zombie wreaked havoc in the "Hall of Righteousness." It had even become the standard by which the bandits measured each other's strength.

Mao Jiang was a force to be reckoned with, easily defeating those weaker with a single punch and turning them into minced meat. This was known as the "Meat Mince Realm."

Those above the level of "meat paste" are in the "Flying-Away Realm," but since everyone is in the Flying-Away Realm, it needs to be further subdivided. For example, the "Ten-Zhang Realm" and the "Three-Zhang Realm."

It should be noted that when the Grand Commander was punched by Mao Jiang, he retreated a full three feet to absorb the force, making him a top expert in the "Three-Foot Realm"!

And this senior is actually "unregressed"! No, he even made Mao Jiang retreat a foot, so wouldn't he be a master of the "negative foot realm"?

But why didn't such a master stay to deal with that strange lion dog? Everyone knows the answer, after all, if the senior had stayed, they would all be dead here now.

Lin Fan's left side was numb. Taking that punch head-on made him feel like he'd been hit by a hammer, most likely causing internal injuries. It wasn't that he didn't want to deflect the force; with his limited martial arts skills, trying to deflect force like others would probably only make him more seriously injured. However, with the Strength Pill and the gray pill both working, this internal injury wasn't a big deal.

Mao Jiang took a few steps back and regained his balance.

Lin Fan swung his shield, and a string of wooden spikes that had been pre-filled into the mechanical arm shot towards Lan Hanyu.

Without hesitation, Mao Jiang twisted his body and lunged towards the wooden spikes.
