Becoming an indescribable god after failing to ring in the new year.

Chapter 56 Chicken

After confirming the enemy, Zhou Jianye quickly calmed down and began to study Lu Shi.

Lu Shi had witnessed the previous battle between Zhang Lifeng.

The "bloody calamity" on Master Shi's body when he died was set up by him. Having obtained all the relevant information from the master, Zhou Jianye naturally knew how to break the bloody calamity.

In fact, such ancient metaphysical abilities can basically be resolved by praying to gods and Buddhas. The talisman on his body was drawn by a "master of Tao".

In addition, because so many charlatans use the term "bloodshed and disaster," the phrase "spending money to avoid disaster," which is used by charlatans to extract money, has also become highly associated with it.

With a limit of three million, Zhou Jianye was certain that within this month, Lu Shi's bloodshed, which was at most level one or two, would be of no use to him.

Metaphysical abilities are, after all, just one of the results or products of the discipline of metaphysics.

It is not the superpowers depicted in movies and TV series.

With his abilities no longer effective against Zhou Jianye, Lu Shi was now like a snake whose fangs had been removed, his danger greatly reduced.

At the same time, Lu Shi also discovered that his watch was currently in a state of signal loss. In other words, it was basically impossible to call for help, and the changes in the degree of erosion were also restricted. The Xuanxue Society probably wouldn't be able to discover the problem in a short time.

As a veteran entrepreneur, Zhou Jianye is meticulous in every detail.

He wouldn't give Lu Shi any chance; he would extinguish Lu Shi's hope of survival with a single move.

Lu Shi's figure shifted back and forth in the bamboo forest, his steps appearing exceptionally strange.

Occasionally, the movement patterns on my body would lose their sense of being alive.

This is precisely the effect of the mutation brought about by the bloodshed disaster in Lu Shi.

Unable to target Zhou Jianye for the bloodshed, Lu Shi then used the chickens in the nearby chicken coop as his target.

As he runs toward the chicken, preparing to deliver the fatal blow, he can manipulate himself, changing his speed, increasing his strength, and enhancing his physical resilience.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to move nimbly through this small bamboo grove.

But this is not a long-term solution. The sword is getting closer and closer, and Zhou Jianye's sword is gradually forming an encirclement, reducing the area where Lu Shi can escape.

Lu Shi rolled over and got close to the chicken coop.

When he stood up, a bamboo stick, polished and shiny from being handled, appeared in his hand.

This bamboo stick is probably a tool used by the owner of the chicken coop to herd chickens.

Holding the bamboo stick, Lu Shi turned around and looked at Zhou Jianye.

Zhou Jianye stood fifteen meters away from him, neither getting close nor far away.

He had seen Lu Shi's swordsmanship, and compared to Lu Shi, Zhou Jianye's swordsmanship was far inferior.

If Lu Shi gets close, he might actually be in danger.

Even if the chances are slim, Zhou Jianye wouldn't take that risk.

When they reached the chicken coop, Lu Shi seemed to have nowhere to retreat.

Although the chicken coop was small, it effectively hindered Lu Shi's movements.

The moment the movement faltered, the sword was already beside him.

Lu Shi struck out with the bamboo stick in his hand.

Once he pinpointed the location, Lu Shi slapped the sword away with his stick, leaving only a small mark on the stick without any damage.

Over the years, all the moisture in these bamboo sticks has been dried out, making the fibers brittle and less resilient.

The reason for this outcome is entirely due to Lu Shi's Sword-Snatching Technique.

Deal with danger at the most opportune time and nip it in the bud before it erupts.

As long as the force and direction of the strike are appropriate, a bamboo stick will not be easily cut by a sword.

However, Lu Shi did not feel relieved upon seeing this, because even more swords arrived.

At that very moment, the dozen or so chickens in the coop seemed to sense the arrival of a stranger and immediately flapped their wings and flew into the air.

It was during this struggle that the black gauze hanging around the chicken coop was torn down.

The moment the gauze came off, a strange wind blew in.

The gauze flew towards Lu Shi, as if to completely surround him.

However, the black gauze twisted and flew to Lu Shi's side, colliding with other things first and blocking the several long swords that were flying towards him.

The reverse application of the concept of bloodshed and disaster.

The goal is to target oneself, but in the process of application, one deliberately influences the direction of failure.

By allowing the two sources of danger to interact, the danger can be neutralized.

A sword is a powerful weapon.

Under normal circumstances, the black gauze cannot contain these swords. Even though it has been strengthened by the Bloodshed Calamity and its toughness has been enhanced, it still cannot hold them for long.

But Lu Shi acted in time. He grabbed the black gauze and ripped it hard, changing the direction of the sword that was originally intended to pierce the gauze.

Swinging the large mass around, Lu Shi spun around as if throwing a hammer, sweeping away the other swords that were coming at him. Just as the swords were about to break free of their seals, he released his grip, and the mass wrapped in black gauze flew towards a living creature not far away.

Without the gauze blocking their way, the chickens seemed to suddenly see the outside world and reacted by squeezing out through the relatively large gaps in the fence.

Suddenly, the chickens that had been raised for two and a half years flew around everywhere in the bamboo forest.

Lu Shi then set his sights on one of the chickens, making it the target of his bloodshed.

This time, however, Lu Shi strengthened not the object in his hand, but his own strength. With a slight tilt of his hand, he smashed the black gauze and the sword inside onto the bamboo.

With this smash, the swords had already torn through the black gauze and escaped.

However, when you look at those swords now, because of Lu Shi's enhanced power, these swords are basically all chipped or deformed after being hit.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jianye couldn't help but frown.

He had already guessed Lu Shi's tactics.

The mysterious ability of weapon anomalies is outdated.

One important reason is that modern cold weapons exist more as a craft or a niche sport.

The power of weapon movement was confined to the concept of "cold weapons".

If the object is changed to a kitchen knife, it can still be controlled, but the force will drop from level two to level one.

However, at level one, the lethality will be greatly reduced.

If the Bloodshed Calamity didn't reach level one in all four dimensions, and if Lu Shi could use [Failure to Cross Over the Year] to buff one of the dimensions at any time to raise it by one level, it wouldn't be very useful.

Essentially, the ability to enhance one dimension at any time, bringing it to level two, is already considered a level two ability, as seen in Lu Shi's Bloodshed Disaster.

If the target is someone who is physically agile, can carefully observe changes in their surroundings, and is alert to such changes, even a level one bloodshed would be unlikely to kill them.

Zhou Jianye knew clearly that Lu Shi intended to destroy these cold weapons step by step, causing them to bend and deform.

Without a suitable melee weapon, Zhou Jianye would be nothing more than an old man suffering from silicosis and whose health was failing.

With that in mind, Zhou Jianye no longer held back.
