"Whoosh!"
Lin Chen tilted his head, narrowly dodging a flying hidden weapon. It came from the gaunt monk, Po.
"Ugly people always love to cause trouble, huh?"Lin Chen flicked his foot, sending a pebble shooting toward him.
The ugly monk rammed his head forward—"Bang!"The stone shattered into dust on impact, while he remained completely unharmed.
"Little Daoist, is that all you've got—"
"Boom!"
A sudden bolt of lightning fell from thin air and slammed straight onto the ugly monk mid-taunt.
A thick smell of burnt flesh drifted through the air. The filthy monk was smoking and pitch-black, but surprisingly not seriously injured. He grabbed a jade pendant from his chest—now full of deep cracks.
"This kid's too strong… my amulet almost shattered!"
"We get close! As long as we close the distance, he won't have time to summon lightning!"The fat monk charged at Lin Chen.
"Bang!"
Lin Chen kicked him square in the stomach—but failed to send him flying.
It felt like kicking a giant ball of cotton; his right foot even sank into the monk's fat belly.
"What the…!? Since when does fat have this kind of special effect!?"
But the fat monk wasn't doing well either. His body could reduce impact through some strange ability, yes——but Lin Chen's strength was overwhelming.
He felt his internal organs shift, bitterness rising in his throat. He almost vomited bile.
The fat monk suddenly puffed out his cheeks and blew forward. A violent gust erupted around him—dust swirling, sand whipping, leaves flying everywhere.
Lin Chen backed up."Damn, that's quite a mouthful. I'll give him that."
The wind grew stronger, lifting pebbles into the air.Rocks slammed into Lin Chen, but bounced off harmlessly.
The three monks exchanged looks.
"He has a protective amulet!"
Lin Chen grinned."At least you guys have eyes."
He took off his jacket—revealing dozens of spirit shields strapped beneath, radiating the aura of a full-fledged local tyrant.
The three monks wailed internally.How are they supposed to fight this!?
Lin Chen flicked his finger—lightning bolts shot at the trio.
"Ahhhhh!"The fat monk—still puffing air with his mouth open—took the full blast. His screams echoed.
"Boom!"Two more bolts struck him.
His breath died in his throat, and so did he—burned to a crisp.
The skinny monk's eyes widened. He pressed his palms against a nearby stone—activating his sorcery.His body rapidly turned into solid gold, becoming a human-shaped statue.
Lin Chen summoned the Five Thunders Technique and struck the golden figure——but it had no effect.
"Hahaha! Little Daoist, have you ever seen a golden man fear lightning? You lose!"The golden statue charged toward him.
Lin Chen tossed another talisman.
"Roar!"
A Yanlong, a blazing fire dragon, manifested in midair. Its massive maw engulfed the golden monk.
"AHHH!"
He barely had time to scream.
The scorching heat melted him in seconds—turning him into flowing golden liquid.
Lin Chen dusted off his hands."Shame… selling that gold would've been worth a fortune."
The skinny monk—now the only one left—was terrified. His arrogance had vanished completely.
He chanted toward his gourd. A surge of black energy erupted, transforming into countless screaming skulls rushing toward Lin Chen.
"Soul puppet art? How many souls have you imprisoned!?"Lin Chen frowned. The black energy felt strange. He didn't dare touch it.
He summoned a thunder barrier around himself.
The skulls took one look at the thunder and immediately scattered, too afraid to approach.
Lin Chen flicked his hand—
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
More than a dozen silver needles embedded themselves into the skinny monk. He collapsed instantly, foaming at the mouth.
Lin Chen walked over and smashed the gourd beneath his foot.
The black aura on the skulls dissolved, their screams fading as they were sucked away by a mysterious space tear.
Lin Chen sensed faint gratitude."Did they… break free and return to reincarnation?"
He slapped two soul-sensing talismans onto the two demon monks. They glowed faintly white as purified energy flowed visibly into them.
Lin Chen waved his hand. The talismans flew back to him.He absorbed the collected energy—it was equal to half a month of cultivation. Not bad.
With another wave, Samadhi True Fire burned the corpses to ash. They drifted into the wind, leaving no trace they ever existed.
"I'll pay Hinayana Tantra a visit… when the time comes."Lin Chen wasn't going now. He'd wait until he reached Earth Immortal.
After cleaning everything up, he headed toward the city. A few steps of Shrinking the Ground to Inches, and he arrived.Though it was midnight, the city was brightly lit.
He didn't look for lodging.Instead, he entered a bar for a drink.
From a lonely cemetery to a noisy bar—Lin Chen felt like he was finally among humans again.
He'd just ordered a drink when a blonde girl approached.
"Hey, handsome. You alone?"
Lin Chen frowned. The girl wore heavy makeup and reeked of perfume masking body odor.
"I'm waiting for someone."
She read the rejection on his face and left with a sigh.
Several more girls tried their luck.Lin Chen was speechless.
Can't a guy drink in peace? Damn this charm of his.
Suddenly—he spotted an acquaintance.
Black wavy hair.Tall nose bridge.Deep eyes.Long legs.
Wonder Woman—Diana.
She wore a tight black leather outfit, pretending to be just another human, radiating a chilly aura that kept people from approaching.
Lin Chen walked over."Beauty, what a coincidence."
Diana had noticed him long ago but pretended otherwise.
"Sir, I don't think I know you."She rolled her eyes.
Lin Chen smiled."I have a very old friend who looks a lot like you."
Diana instantly flared up.She grabbed his collar and growled under her breath:
"Stinky Daoist! Based on our actual ages, I'm practically twenty-four! Stop calling me auntie!"
Lin Chen seized her wrist and squeezed."Strong grip. And you still pretend you don't know me."
Diana froze—he'd taken advantage of her."You shameless Daoist!"
Lin Chen looked her up and down."Not bad at all. You've got great proportions—basically a natural clothes hanger."
"How do I compare to your Catwoman or Harley?" Diana asked casually.
"They're slender. You're an Amazonian warrior—strong and muscular. No comparison."
Diana lowered her voice."How do you know I'm an Amazonian?"
"Calculated."
She narrowed her eyes."You saw me come in here and decided to flirt, didn't you?"
"I really didn't."Lin Chen sighed.
"What about your livestream? What are you doing in New York? Picking up girls?"Diana fired questions like bullets.
Lin Chen ordered at the bar."Give me a few cups of Maotai."
"…Huh? No Maotai? What kind of bar is this? Fine—vodka then."
He pushed a glass toward her."One drink per question. If you refuse to answer—two drinks."
Diana glared."I know exactly what you're trying to do. Getting me drunk? I drink liquor like water!"
Lin Chen shrugged."I have no evil intentions. I just want to drink."
