Chapter 123: A Novel Idea
“Clang…”
As soon as the door of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva Temple slammed shut, Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou sprang into action.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
In less than ten minutes, everyone inside was dealt with by the two.
The kind of instant kill they executed left the old man trembling in fear.
The reason Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were so unrestrained was simple: everyone here belonged to the Angry Heaven Palace.
In certain respects, the Hall of Yama and the Angry Heaven Palace were sworn enemies.
Thus, they held nothing back.
After finishing off the people, Zhao Gou began experimenting with his medical skills again.
But this time, he noticed the statue of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva, and a glimmer sparked in his eyes.
He looked at the old man and asked, “Do you want a normal human hand?”
Old man: “!!!”
He too gazed at the statue of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva, seemingly having an epiphany, and quickly shook his head.
“No, I don’t want it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he tried to run away.
Liu Shunyi grabbed him right back.
“Don’t worry, you have to trust my brother’s medical skills; this might just be an opportunity for you!”
The old man swallowed hard.
“Then can I say no to this opportunity?”
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
“Boom~”
He directly pulled out the grinding plate and tossed it on the ground.
Tears filled the old man’s eyes.
——————
Half an hour later.
The old man had arms sprouting from his back.
He could even control those arms freely.
Of course, that wasn’t all.
With just a thought, the arms could retract, making it impossible for outsiders to notice anything amiss.
Zhao Gou looked at the old man, very pleased.
“You are my most satisfying masterpiece!”
At that moment, two hands jumped onto the old man’s shoulders, their fingers dancing in apparent discontent.
Zhao Gou laughed.
“You two are quite a creation too!”
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi was staring at the statue of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva, lost in thought.
“What are you looking at?” Zhao Gou asked.
Liu Shunyi glanced at him and replied, “What you’re doing is a form of medical technique, but it feels more like puppet mastery—only much more advanced!”
Zhao Gou pondered and nodded in agreement.
Then Liu Shunyi looked at Zhao Gou and asked, “Now that you understand the body’s meridians so well, I wonder if there’s a possibility of injecting the same into the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva, and, if infused with a soul, could it come to life?”
Zhao Gou’s eyes widened.
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
But then he shook his head while looking at the massive statue of the Bodhisattva.
“There aren’t enough meridians available for it!”
Liu Shunyi grinned.
“Where are we right now? In the Secret Realm! Think about it—are there any shortages of people here?”
“And now that the Angry Heaven Palace has already barged in, it’s perfect! The Secret Realm is already helping us filter the good ones, so we don’t have to worry about targeting the wrong people!”
Zhao Gou’s eyes lit up.
The old man, overhearing their conversation, lowered his head, his pupils rapidly constricting.
……
……
Meanwhile, in a base of the Angry Heaven Palace within Giant God City.
The First Fury wore a dazed expression.
“Our base was destroyed?”
The Second Fury nodded.
“But it shouldn’t have been the practitioners; they died too quickly for that. It must be something strange inside Giant God City.”
The First Fury agreed with this explanation, as he believed practitioners couldn’t possibly enter.
“Which base was it?”
The Second Fury replied, “The Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva Temple!”
Upon hearing the name, the First Fury showed no surprise.
“Some fool probably triggered the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva and got wiped out. Send in more men to head to the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva Temple; after all, there’s a major opportunity there, and practitioners will definitely go. That’s also our hunting ground.”
The Second Fury nodded.
“Right! Also, there’s one more thing!”
At this point, the Second Fury pulled two heads out of his spatial ring.
One was a bull’s head, and the other was a horse’s head.
The First Fury frowned.
“What’s this?”
The Second Fury scratched his head.
“I found these two while on an expedition. They seem to be even better than our Soul Avoidance Pearls; they can directly devour divine grievances.”
“And after devouring them, they become even more durable!”
As he spoke, the Second Fury tapped the bull’s head.
With a metallic ringing, the bull’s head echoed with sound.
The First Fury’s interest piqued.
“Such a treasure actually exists!”
He then picked up the horse’s head for inspection.
After examining it, the First Fury’s tone turned cold.
“Doesn’t this look a bit like that of a certain deity mentioned in the records?”
The Second Fury shrugged it off.
“Who cares? Even if it’s usable, it’s still just an inanimate object!”
The First Fury nodded in agreement before they both took the bull’s and horse’s heads.
……
……
“Something isn’t right!”
Because Zhao Gou was intent on reviving the colossal statue of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva.
Little master, there’s still more in this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading for more excitement!
So he began measuring the statue and planned to drill holes into it.
In order to better infuse the meridians.
However, while exploring, Zhao Gou discovered that the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva seemed to have meridians inside its body, though they were all dried up.
Seeing this, Zhao Gou quickly climbed down from the statue and reported his findings to Liu Shunyi.
Once Liu Shunyi heard this, he frowned.
“You’re not mistaking?”
Zhao Gou nodded confidently.
“I trust my medical skills, there’s no way I could be wrong.”
Liu Shunyi squinted at the compassionate-looking statue of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect this Secret Realm to be so impressive.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Liu Shunyi asked, “Can you heal this Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva?”
Zhao Gou scratched his head.
“Heal a statue? I’ve never tried it!”
“Then you should give it a shot!”
Zhao Gou nodded, and then he flew onto the top of the Thousand-Handed Bodhisattva’s head, starting to release his green spiritual energy.
However, after a while of treatment, Zhao Gou gave up.
“It won’t work; while it has meridians, they’ve been dried up for so long that it’s impossible to heal unless we pump in a lot of blood.”
Liu Shunyi immediately sliced open his hand and started to bleed.
Zhao Gou was speechless.
“We don’t need to go this far!”
Liu Shunyi laughed and shook his head.
“Don’t worry! Just use it freely!”
Zhao Gou looked at Liu Shunyi’s unperturbed face.
He could only nod in agreement.
“Fine, but if you can’t take it, you need to let me know.”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
Then, with their collaboration, they began injecting blood into the statue!
The old man huddled in the corner, watching this absurd scene, completely numbed.
Initially, he only knew that these two Kings of Hell were ruthless towards others, but he hadn’t expected them to be just as ruthless towards themselves!
