Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 95 Dark Shadow

With Niu Dadan's aggressive actions, the pressure on Lin Fan's side eased, and many of the staff quickened their pace and ran towards Niu Dadan.

Lin Fan, draped in a concealment cloth, disappeared into the textile factory like an invisible man.

Click, click.

A small group of weavers were busy weaving in the dark factory. As soon as Lin Fan stepped into the weaving factory, all the wooden heads turned to look at him.

Lin Fan checked and confirmed that the invisibility cloth was indeed still on him. But when he took another step forward, all the mechanical figures stood up in unison. Their wooden eyes, which never moved, stared at him. Whenever Lin Fan moved, all the wooden heads moved with him.

He had noticed along the way that these mechanical figures didn't rely much on 'sight,' since they could weave accurately even in complete darkness. There were other noises outside, but inside the textile factory, once the looms stopped, you could hear the needles falling.

Lin Fan glanced at the life-sized Buddha statue not far away, put the invisibility cloth into his pocket, and rushed towards the Buddha statue.

Now he wields a black knife in one hand and a red scythe in the other. With the magical power emanating from the scythe, ordinary mechanical beings cannot stop him for long.

These mechanical beings have also become much smarter, picking up various tools to resist Lin Fan and trying to delay him for as long as possible.

Just as he was getting closer to the Buddha statue, Lin Fan suddenly felt a pain in his calf and froze. The mechanical figures beside him all grabbed the frame of a spinning machine and started hitting him.

Lin Fan managed to deflect the attack with his weapon, then reached down and touched his calf; it was soaking wet. The Soul-Suppressing Pearl could alleviate the pain, but it couldn't prevent injuries from affecting movement. His body, having stopped taking the gray pills, could no longer stop bleeding quickly on its own.

There must be something on the ground! Lin Fan searched the ground while fending off the mechanical man's attacks.

Thankfully, his night vision was now good enough that he could vaguely make out a dark shadow crawling quickly along the ground. He had to take it down first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move forward at all.

Ignoring the injury on his calf, Lin Fan charged towards the shadowy figure. Several mechanical figures blocking his path were slashed across his ribs and collapsed one by one.

The shadowy figure was no faster than Lin Fan, but it kept weaving under the spinning machine, with mechanical figures occasionally popping out to ambush it.

The shadowy figure just needs to focus on escaping; Lin Fan has many more things to consider.

This won't do. Lin Fan suddenly threw the red scythe towards the dark figure. The scythe rolled in the air, shoveling aside the wood and rags blocking the way, and slammed hard onto the ground.

The darting shadows weren't so easy to hit, and Lin Fan hadn't practiced any throwing techniques.

Seeing that the annoying scythe was no longer in the man's hand, the dark figure stopped moving, turned to look at Lin Fan, as if to say, "You finally acted impulsively. Let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve now."

Several dark figures appeared on the dark ground. It turned out that there was more than one dark figure from before; they had been taking turns running away to confuse Lin Fan's pursuit.

Lin Fan held the black knife. He was already surrounded, and if he tried to pick up the sickle now, he would obviously be torn to shreds halfway there.

The shadowy figure chuckled in the darkness, as if mocking Lin Fan's impulsiveness, which gave them the opportunity to surround and kill him.

As the shadowy figures drew closer, Lin Fan gradually made them clearer. These mechanical figures looked much the same as before, except that their mouths and hands were stained with blood. It was fresh blood; it seemed someone had been killed by them. Hopefully, it wasn't Doctor Lei.

They crawled on all fours like wild animals.

Another difference was that they all had long, smooth, black hair, which was clearly different from the dirty, dry hair of the workers before them. Their hair was styled up on their heads with various hairpins.

The giggling laughter gradually turned into indistinct words, "You, it's you! I curse you to a terrible death! No, Zixuan, Zixuan will kill you with his own hands!"

"kill!"

I'll kill you!

"Bite you to death!"

Words, pieced together haphazardly, came out of their mouths intermittently.

These dark figures swarmed forward, wanting to tear Lin Fan to pieces.

Having consumed the Soul-Suppressing Pearl again, how could Lin Fan not be calm? A smile appeared on his lips. He grabbed at the scythe with his free left hand, and a red and black light swept across the dark weaving factory. The shadowy mechanical figures along the way collapsed one by one after being lightly swept by the scythe.

Before the shadowy figures could react, Lin Fan had already grabbed the scythe. He spun around, unleashing a circular flash of light, and the circle of shadowy figures collapsed to the ground. Lin Fan, however, only suffered a few bloody scratches from the closest attackers.

Just as the shadowy figure in the distance tried to escape, Lin Fan stepped on his back and with a flick of his black blade, his head fell to the ground.

Lin Fan used the same trick again, throwing his scythe in the direction the other shadowy figures were fleeing. This time the distance was extremely close; the blade grazed the heel of one of the shadowy figures, and it immediately fell down.

With a swift grab, the scythe flew back as if it had a mind of its own, slicing through the necks of the two dark figures in mid-air before returning to Lin Fan's hand.

Lin Fan has temporarily subdued the Crimson Curse within the scythe. To use it to curse someone or make the scythe appear across space as before would require consuming a command opportunity for the Crimson Curse. However, if he simply uses the overflowing curse power within it, or makes it fly back to his hand from a short distance away, then there is no cost.

Once you become proficient at using it, this sickle will be extremely useful. Its biggest drawback is that it's only truly effective between midnight and dawn.

The shadowy figures should have been dealt with, but Lin Fan still felt something was off. He squatted down to examine the wooden teeth of the mechanical mannequin, and then looked at the wound on his calf.

"No, this wound looks like it was cut by a sharp blade, not bitten by teeth."

As Lin Fan was crouching on the ground, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and his hand seemed to be controlled as he swung the black knife backward to block.

With a clang, the sound of metal clashing was heard.

Lin Fan hurriedly turned around and saw a dark figure running away quickly.

This time, Lin Fan got close enough to see clearly that the creature that attacked him had six thin legs, so it was definitely not human!

It has an oval-shaped head with two vaguely visible tentacles on its head.

This thing is extremely fast; let alone chasing it, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. And if it also has teeth comparable to sharp blades, it would be incredibly difficult to deal with.

"How many more strange mechanical beasts are they hiding? Could these be the Bodhisattva's guards? Let alone killing them, it's so difficult to even get close to them."

Lin Fan simply squatted down and waited. He hadn't been attacked by this mechanical beast while chasing the shadow, but once he moved towards the Bodhisattva, this thing would definitely attack him again.

Niu Dadan was already covered in mechanical puppets. He prioritized dealing with the ones wielding logging axes, but with only two hands, he simply couldn't handle so many.

These mechanical beings lay on top of Niu Dadan, scratching and biting with their fingernails, leaving blood all over Niu Dadan's huge body.

Sun Ruolan had already squatted on Niu Dadan's shoulder, constantly hitting the mechanical man who was trying to climb onto Niu Dadan's head with Chen Ergou's small wooden mallet.

As for Chen Ergou, they had just left him behind, and now no one knows where he is or whether he is alive or dead. No one cares about him now.

A path was parted in the sea of ​​people, and Mo Zhi Shan, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, walked out from the middle. He still wore the same black and white mask and still carried that jet-black folding fan.

"I underestimated you earlier, but how much skill do you have to deal with my mechanical army? Even an elephant can be eaten to death by ants. I'll send you two on your way first."
