Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 94 Ruyi Jinli

"Ah... I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die... Ahhh... I can't take it anymore, I'm about to die..."

Chen Ergou had never felt so popular before, with countless katydids constantly touching him.

Four or five hands were about to come up and tear his clothes to shreds.

Deng Deng Deng!

With a series of hammering sounds, Lin Fan severed several arms, instantly relieving Sun Ruolan's stress.

Lin Fan didn't find any trace of Ze Zhishan, but instead heard Chen Ergou shouting.

Lin Fan looked coldly at Chen Ergou, "Ergou, what are you doing?"

"Ah, brother, what else can I do? I'm already like this. If this continues, these women will devour me alive!"

Lin Fan was somewhat annoyed, wishing he could stab him first, "Where's what I gave you? Take it out and use it!"

Chen Ergou looked miserable. "That was supposed to save my life, but it's not even the most critical moment yet. I really can't afford the price of that thing!"

When Sun Ruolan saw Lin Fan arrive, her expression brightened. "Brother Lin, I just thought of something!" she said with difficulty as she spun around.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Lin Fan suddenly felt a familiar coolness on his back, like the comfort of entering an air-conditioned room on a hot summer day.

Chen Ergou asked in confusion, "What's wrong, brother? Does your stomach hurt?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's past midnight."

"It's only the third watch of the night? I wonder if these monsters get stronger as it gets darker?"

Lin Fan ignored him and pulled out a crescent-shaped dark red scythe from behind his back. The color on the originally dull scythe flowed slowly like water.

Two mechanical figures rushed toward him, one of them wielding a wood-chopping axe.

Swish.

The scythe swung lightly, tracing a crescent-shaped arc. It was far less sharp than the black blade, only managing to cut a small wound on the two mechanical figures.

The two mechanical figures buckled at the knees and collapsed to the ground.

Lin Fan grabbed the wood-chopping axe in mid-air with his free right hand and threw it backward. The axe cleaved the head of the mechanical man who was about to rush up from behind, and the man fell to the ground with the axe in his hand.

"Big brother, you're amazing! Keep going, wipe them all out!"

Lin Fan turned around and gave Chen Ergou a murderous look. "Help me! Otherwise, I'll chop you up next!"

Chen Ergou had no choice but to take out the gold-inlaid jade that Lin Fan had given him. This item was called "Ruyi Jinli" and was shaped like a reclining Qilin.

Chen Ergou looked at Niu Dadan with pleading eyes, and shoved the "Ruyi Jinli" into Niu Dadan's hand as if he were grasping at a lifeline. "Brother Niu, are you a man? What kind of man hides behind women? Take this, and you'll be incredibly brave and sweep away the wooden dummies. I'm giving you the chance. Second Aunt will definitely be charmed by you later!"

He then told Niu Dadan the secret formula.

Niu Dadan had only recited half of the incantation when he realized, "It's so good, why don't you use it!"

Chen Ergou chuckled, "I won't lie to you, buddy, this thing has a small side effect. Every time you use it, it will make one of your important things a little shorter, just a tiny bit."

"Height? I don't think Ruolan will mind that I'm short." At least Niu Dadan is much taller than Sun Ruolan, so being a little shorter isn't a big problem.

Chen Ergou shook his head.

"Lifespan?" Niu Dadan's expression was somewhat conflicted. "There's nothing we can do about it. Let's just get through tonight first!"

Chen Ergou shook his head again.

Niu Dadan gasped, "Could it be...?"

Before he could speak, Chen Ergou nodded emphatically.

Niu Dadan immediately and firmly refused, shoving the gold-inlaid jade in his hand back into Chen Ergou's hand as if it were a hot iron plate. Chen Ergou pushed it back forcefully, saying, "Brother Niu, it's really just a tiny bit, a very inconspicuous little bit, it won't affect your divine power."

Niu Dadan retorted, "Brother Ergou, why don't you use it? I have a wife!"

"Is that your wife? That's Master Lin's second concubine! Besides, you've already eaten your fill, so what if your chopsticks are a little short? I haven't even had a bite yet!"

"You might not even need it in the future, so why worry about it!"

"Ugh, you always have to hit people where it hurts."

The two were pushing and shoving each other when Sun Ruolan explained her thoughts to Lin Fan.

Many mechanical figures had already fallen under Lin Fan's scythe, and the pressure on their side was gradually easing.

"Brother Lin, besides the ink, paper, and fan, I've thought of another crucial thing. It's... the Bodhisattva!"

"Are you planning to use your status as a saintess to ask the Bodhisattva for help? Do you think it will work?"

Sun Ruolan gripped the wooden hand tightly and shook her head, saying, "No, I mean if we kill the Bodhisattva, these mechanical figures might stop moving!"

Lin Fan almost laughed to tears when he heard her wildly imaginative idea. "What? Kill a Bodhisattva? Great idea! I'll go to heaven and summon 100,000 heavenly soldiers to wipe out that bald monk together."

Lin Fan's scythe was deflected by a lumberjack's axe. These mechanical beings weren't entirely mindless; after Lin Fan had killed many of them, they began to realize the terrifying power of his scythe. Even some of the weavers started picking up nearby sticks to protect themselves from the scythe.

“Brother Lin, it’s not what you think. This Bodhisattva is alive. No, I can’t say for sure either; this is what the ink paper fan told us. The Bodhisattva was once a craftsman…”

Lin Fan was struggling more and more under the siege, and hurriedly interrupted Sun Ruolan's explanation, "There's no time to start from the creation of the world, just tell me what you want."

Sun Ruolan nodded. "There's a Buddha statue in the weaving factory. We chant sutras and pray for it every day. That's the physical body of the Bodhisattva. If we get rid of him, I think we can stop these mechanical beings."

Lin Fan had seen that life-size Buddha statue before; Niu Dadan had even offered incense there.

Lin Fan looked in the direction of the weaving factory. The government officials came from that direction, as did the officials from the mulberry grove and silkworm farm. "With just that, we can't even get close to them."

Lin Fan gritted his teeth. He couldn't just sit and wait to die. He took the black knife in one hand, cut off a wooden stick that was about to hit him, and lightly sliced ​​the mechanical man's chest with the sickle. The latter immediately collapsed.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Lin Fan broke through the encirclement, donned a concealment cloth, and disappeared into the night.

As soon as Lin Fan left, the mechanical beings surrounded Sun Ruolan again. Although she reached out to interfere with their judgment, more and more mechanical beings gathered and were about to surround her completely. At that point, no matter how she turned around, she would inevitably expose her back to the enemy.

Niu Dadan looked at his lover, who was surrounded not far away, and then looked down at the Ruyi Jinli in his hand.

If I don't use it, I can't protect her; if I do use it, I can't give her happiness.

Niu Dadan gritted his teeth and quickly recited the mantra, "There is gain and loss, the moon wanes after it is full, and loss follows fullness..."

Soon, Niu Dadan's body gradually swelled up, seven feet, eight feet, nine feet... ten feet, two feet... His height stopped when he was close to three feet.

Niu Dadan picked up a mechanical man in each hand, pinched it with two fingers, and ripped off its head.

He held the remaining body piece like a stick and swept it away, clearing the surrounding mechanical figures.

Rescuing Sun Ruolan from the encirclement of the officials, Niu Dadan gently lifted her up and placed her on his shoulder before striding towards the weaving factory.
