Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 229 The Curse Activated

"Curse me to a terrible death? You think..."

Before Li Hao could finish his sentence, his expression froze instantly. Lin Fan didn't know what he had seen, but it was clear that his mind had been dragged into a bizarre state.

"Huff, huff." Breathing.

Lin Fan struggled to keep breathing, because the sword stuck in his stomach was causing him excruciating pain with every breath.

He hesitated for a moment before turning to look for his left hand instead of drawing his sword.

"Why wasn't I dragged into the Demon Realm this time? Is it because Officer Li is relatively weak?" Lin Fan slowly walked towards his hand, his mind filled with all sorts of wild thoughts.

"No, I can't sense the scythe's presence anymore. Yes, it's been used three times already; I'm no longer its 'master'."

Lin Fan also couldn't sense Xiao Yi's presence anymore. The mechanical beast was probably indirectly controlled using the scythe as a springboard, and it seems it was lost this time as well.

However, Li Hao was a fourth-level martial artist, and without using this final curse, Lin Fan couldn't think of a way to actually kill him.

Lin Fan opened his clenched left fist and stuffed the two round balls into his mouth.

The Soul-Suppressing Pearl flashed with a faint green light, and Lin Fan felt a sense of relief as the excruciating pain finally subsided.

Half of the powerful pill took effect in his body, and a few strands of his remaining black hair turned white. At the same time, his pale complexion, which had been caused by blood loss, visibly improved.

Xiao Yi lay quietly and motionless beside his severed hand, like a broken wooden doll.

Lin Fan mimicked the living porcelain bottle; its slender spout opened into a long mouth full of fine teeth, swallowing his hand and Xiao Yi together.

Lin Fan picked up the giant sword from the ground.

And so, with the ink sword piercing through his stomach and extending all the way to his back, he dragged the giant sword back.

Li Hao stood there like a statue, a sickle stuck in his shoulder, his eyes open but his gaze unfocused.

"He's not so easy to take down; we need to seize this opportunity to finish him off."

The red scythe exuded an ominous aura, and the resentment that had been restrained due to the contract overflowed without reservation.

Feng Xufeng's pupils suddenly dilated. "It's actually so close to me."

He suddenly looked in Lin Fan's direction, "It's over here!"

Sun Ruolan also noticed Feng Xufeng's strange behavior and shouted to Niu Dadan, "Dadan, he's probably looking for Brother Lin! We can't let him go!"

Niu Dadan had already caught up with the living curse in the sky. His huge body hugged the chubby baby, which was only half full, and used his weight to pull it down.

Feng Xufeng's expression became visibly agitated. "Damn it, I shouldn't have been so greedy for that."

If he could, he would definitely rush over there at all costs, but the Living Curse has already been 'severed' once and cannot be used again in a short period of time.

Feng Xufeng looked at the other half of the living curse's body that was still writhing on the ground, changed his hand gestures, and made another hand seal.

The chubby baby that Niu Dadan was holding suddenly stopped struggling. Its head, which had split into wings like a bamboo dragonfly, suddenly retracted. The two, having lost their upward momentum, plummeted downwards.

The chubby baby's head returned to normal, a bald head made up of organs resembling intestines, with two yellow, copper-coin-shaped eyes opening.

Niu Dadan felt a sense of fear the moment their eyes met.

The curse is activated.

*Pfft!* Feng Xufeng's extremely weak body coughed up another mouthful of black blood, his emaciated body throbbing like a broken bellows.

"If it weren't for the lack of the most crucial Crimson Robe Curse, we wouldn't be unable to even activate a second-tier curse."

A black shadow crawled up Niu Dadan's arms, and blood gushed from the pores of his body. The blood boiled and surged as soon as it touched the shadow, blocking its invasion.

Although the shadowy figure slowed down, it did not stop, and with difficulty, it pierced into Niu Dadan's body.

Niu Dadan's eyes rolled back, and his body plummeted to the ground with a loud thud, raising a cloud of dust. He landed near the other half of the Living Curse's body, where the rotten flesh writhed, trying to merge with the original body.

Niu Dadan's expression was pained, as if he was experiencing some extremely painful dream.

The living curse moved its head to Niu Dadan's chest, and its sharp teeth bit down hard at his heart.

Without hesitation, Sun Ruolan attacked the Living Curse from behind, precisely striking its vital point from beneath the markings on the mechanical silk.

"Stop! That's not its vital point! That's the talisman I used to control it. Even if you destroy it, you won't stop it. It will only go berserk and kill all of us!" Feng Xufeng finally lost his composure and shouted at Sun Ruolan.

Sun Ruolan would never believe his nonsense. She stabbed down with her wooden knife, and sure enough, at the marked spot, a corner of a yellow talisman was revealed beneath the skin.

Sun Ruolan drew her sword and slashed again. The Taoist priest was so wary of her; this yellow talisman must be something he wanted to protect.

Wow!

The Living Curse finally touched the half of the rotten flesh on the ground. It decisively gave up on continuing to gnaw on Niu Dadan, and its body was sucked towards its other half like flowing water. Then, it flew away as fast as a slug.

Sun Ruolan's knife came to an abrupt halt in front of Niu Dadan. Niu Dadan's chest had already been bitten open, revealing his stark white ribs, beneath which his large heart could be seen beating incessantly.

"Wake up." Sun Ruolan slapped Niu Dadan across the face, but he showed no signs of waking up. Just as Sun Ruolan, her brows furrowed, was about to give up on Niu Dadan...

Niu Dadan revealed a blissful expression, then suddenly stuck out his tongue, ready to bite down.

Sun Ruolan was startled and put her hand back into his mouth, turning it into a fist.

hiss!

Niu Dadan bit down hard on the mechanical hand, not even noticing his gums bleeding.

"Damn it." Sun Ruolan cursed, tearing off a piece of her clothes and stuffing it into Niu Dadan's mouth.

By this time, the Living Curse had already run far away, and it seemed that it would be impossible to catch up with it.

Sun Ruolan pressed her fingertips against her brow, and a faint light began to reappear. At the same time, a faint light also began to appear between the brows of Di Zezhishan in the air.

She glanced down at Sun Ruolan's situation from her vantage point and decided to intervene. After all, that chubby baby gave her a feeling of utter disgust, and was a huge source of uncertainty for her.

"Zhi Shan, let those two giants hold down the fleeing ghost child."

Sun Ruolan used the connection between the two to send a telepathic message to Ze Zhishan.

"Sister Ruolan, it's possible. But this thing is too strange, I'm not confident I can catch it."

"No need, just hold him off for a moment, leave the rest to me."

Ze Zhishan shook his palm in the air, and the next moment, the giants who were wrestling together rolled towards Feng Xufeng.

boom!

A living curse, transformed into a red snake, emerged from beneath the giant's body and slithered away swiftly. Feng Xufeng stepped onto the broad python's back and fled quickly.

The two giants twisted into a ball and pressed down again, but the python nimbly dodged it.

Sun Ruolan had already caught up, leaped into the air, and launched a flying kick down.

Feng Xufeng turned his head to look at him disdainfully, "You can't catch up with me!"

The next moment, he realized that Sun Ruolan was not attacking him, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
