Chapter 200 The Ruler of Education
Lin Fan's single arm holding the mace trembled slightly.
So that's what happened. When the King of Bo gave it to him, he only said it was a royal item, capable of striking down tyrannical rulers and executing treacherous officials. But which royal family? Your Bo clan's royal family, right?
This is not just from the previous dynasty, it's not even something from the human race anymore.
There was no time for Lin Fan to curse that unreliable Brother Ma in his heart; countless black and white rice grains were already surrounding him.
Lin Fan swung the bronze mace in his hand.
Crackling.
Every grain of rice touched by the copper mace fell down as if it had lost its soul.
Lin Fan was overjoyed. "Why can't the mace of the previous dynasty be used against the officials of this dynasty? Let's see!"
The once incredibly sharp rice tide crumbled like ice and snow meeting sunlight, crumbling at the slightest touch of the bronze mace. The rice grains attacked from all directions; although Lin Fan swept away the rice in front of him, he was still relentlessly attacked from behind.
The clone picked up Lin Fan's Crane Spirit Wood Greatsword and shielded him from most of the rice grains from behind.
Lin Fan had already approached Magistrate Cao when he suddenly brought his mace down on his head.
Magistrate Cao had recovered from his injuries. With a determined effort, the rice around him coalesced in his hand, black rice forming the bone and white rice the blade, creating an extremely solid and narrow "rice knife."
clang!
The rice knife, compressed several times over, finally blocked the copper mace in Lin Fan's hand.
Magistrate Cao was delighted to see this. He waved his hand and muttered, "The way of heaven and earth is vast, profound, high, bright, enduring, and long-lasting."
Mi, who had been scattering to deal with the three, frantically pulled away and gathered around him.
One, two, three...
Six "rice knives" solidified around him and swirled around him.
Magistrate Cao waved the rice knife in his hand, "This is the standard for teaching and indoctrination. You stubborn fools will be taught with this!"
In order to deal with the golden mace in Lin Fan's hands, Magistrate Cao abandoned his flexible and righteous spirit and instead condensed it into a ruler of education.
The long ruler and Lin Fan's mace clashed dozens of times in a short period of time, sparks flying constantly.
Next, the second long ruler landed in Magistrate Cao's left hand. The old magistrate looked unsteady on his feet, but he was incredibly strong. The money he had consumed from the people had transformed his body to be far stronger than that of an ordinary person.
Lin Fan could barely handle two long rulers at the same time, but then a third long ruler flew down to join in. Magistrate Cao did not reach out a third hand to grasp it, but instead controlled the ruler out of thin air.
"Power Pill!"
Lin Fan shouted at his clone, who swung away the long ruler in front of him and threw over three red pills. Lin Fan opened his mouth and swallowed them directly. His body grew taller, his muscles bulged, and his skin turned red at first, then gradually turned slightly purple.
As the saying goes, "one force can overcome ten techniques," and as the strength increased, the numerical advantage of Magistrate Cao's side was temporarily balanced, with each strike of the copper mace causing Magistrate Cao's tiger's mouth to ache.
With the last long ruler added, Magistrate Cao loosened his grip, and the long rulers in both hands flew out, four feet high in the air, facing the bronze mace.
Magistrate Cao made a strange hand gesture and muttered, "Heaven and earth have no perfect power, sages have no omnipotence, and all things have no perfect use. Therefore, one must transcend all things, surpass sages, and unite with heaven and earth. Through nine breaths of breath control, transformation and rebirth, and the blooming of flowers in an instant, one can achieve perfect power and ascend to the heavens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned red, as if he had been given a stimulant. On all the long rulers, a layer of bloody light shrouded the golden light.
Despite the seemingly cheap web game-like special effects, all the long rulers attacked much more fiercely, and the situation reversed again. Lin Fan was overwhelmed by the four long rulers and could hardly breathe.
The clone also struggled to deal with the two long rulers, and the Crane Spirit Wood Greatsword, which was hard enough to withstand the black blade, was scratched with white marks.
Niu Dadan was in an even worse situation. The broadsword and two sabers he brought had long been smashed to pieces. He could only rely on his ability to fly to be chased around by a ruler. It looked like he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
Before Lin Fan could come up with a solution, a new situation arose.
Clang!
broken!
It broke into two pieces!
It wasn't those four black and white rulers, but rather the bronze mace in Lin Fan's hand!
Where's the imperial golden mace? Where's the relic from the previous civilization? How did it break?!
"Brother Ma, I'm going to... Ah!" Lin Fan was furious for a moment, but then calmed down.
It's not really the king's fault; anyone with a little common sense should know that these imperial weapons are ceremonial objects.
Otherwise, what weapon would be decorated with carvings and diamonds?
The copper mace is hollow, and you can see a dark, sticky liquid inside.
This is blood!
Having seen many such corrupted black bloodstains in the Li family's beast cages, Lin Fan immediately recognized it. Could this blood be the source of the copper mace's power?
Lin Fan didn't do it intentionally; even though the copper mace broke, he would still swing it to block the long ruler.
Black blood spilled out, splattering onto the four long rulers.
Clang, clang.
The four long rulers fell to the ground with a metallic sound, and stained with black blood, they writhed slowly on the ground like husbands whose strength had been drained.
Magistrate Cao was startled and summoned back the long ruler that had been chasing Niu Dadan. The ruler was just a hair's breadth away from severing Niu Dadan's head when it came to an abrupt halt an inch before his neck. It even hesitated for a moment, then flew swiftly toward its master.
Lin Fan also noticed that although the Righteous Qi was more powerful and durable after it solidified, it seemed unable to disperse into grains of rice at will. It appeared it couldn't be gathered and dispersed at will. No wonder Magistrate Cao hadn't used this move before.
The four rulers stained with black blood could not reassemble themselves by discarding the blood-stained parts; instead, they were completely immobilized.
Lin Fan swung the broken mace, only to have it blocked by a newly arrived long ruler. He wanted to splash it with his black blood, but the mace was already empty. There was only a little blood left in the mace to begin with, and it had long since been spilled.
Lin Fan threw the broken mace at the long ruler, and the broken mace, having lost its inner strength, was shattered into pieces by the long ruler and fell away.
"Sword!" Lin Fan shouted to his clone.
The clone threw the Crane Spirit Wood Greatsword in one direction and then drew the black blade from its back to fight.
The giant sword did not fly towards Lin Fan, but flew straight towards Magistrate Cao.
The long ruler deflected the giant sword, which was then caught steadily by the one-armed Lin Fan.
Magistrate Cao made another hand gesture and muttered, "A viper stings the hand, a brave man cuts off his wrist." After saying this, his face immediately turned ugly, as if he had suffered internal injuries, and even a trickle of blood flowed from his nose.
His self-mutilation was certainly effective. The four blood-stained rulers trembled for a moment, then broke off at different points, each discarding the parts stained with more blood, regaining themselves, and wobbling as they flew up.
Their breakage is like a wound; the solidified rice grains separate again, flowing down like a waterfall of oil and blood. The rice grains that flow to the ground become grayish and lifeless.
Four broken rulers were glued together in pairs. They were not separated and reassembled, but rather the broken ends were hastily joined together. The breaks were not perpendicular to the rulers, so they were joined into two boomerang-like objects.
Three rulers were once again placed in front of Lin Fan, who was wielding a sword with only one arm.
