235: Netizens were shocked: Holy crap, this video is too weird, is it a spiritual revival?
"Although using the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms to hit dogs is truly overkill, at least it counts as one effective use.
My skill has finally solidified into a permanent skill.
As for this Bald Man, I'll leave him to the police officers. I've only given him a slight punishment anyway!"
Xu Lu watched the excitement just like the surrounding onlookers, muttering inwardly.
Originally, when the police officers saw the Bald Man suddenly subjected to an inexplicable attack, they all raised their guard.
But unfortunately, no further movement occurred, as if everything everyone had just witnessed was merely an illusion.
Finally, the Bald Man was taken away by the ambulance, accompanied by the woman who had fallen down.
Although she wasn't bitten, she had minor abrasions, and clearly, this was the Bald Man's responsibility.
As for the two Beasts that were killed, the police officers didn't immediately know how to handle them, and ultimately, they were towed away.
"Did you all see that just now? It was genuinely too bizarre. That bald guy looked like he was being beaten by a ghost!"
"Yeah, if you ask me, he must have done too many bad deeds, even the ghosts couldn't stand it!"
"Exactly! How dangerous was that girl's situation? She was surrounded and bitten by his two dogs.
If she hadn't been careful, she probably would have been seriously injured. The key is that when someone tried to stop it, that Bald Man actually refused to allow it!"
"Yeah, now look, both his dogs were... were killed by whatever that was."
... "Hey, did anyone film that just now? Maybe it could trend on the hot search. It was really too strange!"
"Hahaha, I'm the clever one! I'm going to contact the news tipsters right now. Maybe I can get a reward of a few hundred or a thousand yuan!"
"Holy smokes! You're too slick, kid. But aren't you afraid that something 'unclean' might come looking for you later?"
"Afraid of what? The only thing I fear is poverty. Is something 'unclean' scarier than being broke?"
"Uh, I have to say you're right. Being broke really is the most terrifying thing in this world, much worse than anything 'unclean'!"
... Although the police officers had already left, the crowd was still discussing the incident animatedly from afar.
The scene just now had left a profound impression on everyone.
The woman who had fallen was originally in danger, but who knew that the crisis would inexplicably be resolved the next moment.
And the two Beasts that caused the injury were both instantly killed.
Even their owner, the Bald Man, seemed to have received his just deserts.
Coupled with the alleged presence of 'unclean things,' the whole event felt incredibly stimulating.
But probably no one could have imagined that the reason all this happened was simply because a certain person needed to solidify the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms skill.
Of course, just now, he not only delivered the remaining required palm strike but also threw in seventeen or eighteen extra strikes for good measure.
That was how the Bald Man ended up in such a miserable state.
After completing his good deed, Xu Lu naturally chose to leave.
Everyone's attention had been focused on the Bald Man just now, so no one noticed him.
But if he stayed there now, his bizarre 'Celebrity going out' attire would definitely attract attention... Meanwhile, some people who filmed the scene just now immediately sent the video to news tip lines.
It didn't take long.
A post titled 'Vicious Dog Bites Person, Protected by Bald Man Owner, Only to Have Both Man and Dog Suffer Bizarre Attack...' immediately shot up the hot search rankings.
The content of the post was highly sensational; 'Vicious Dog Bites Person' was already attractive enough to draw clicks.
What's more, it included phrases like 'Protected by Bald Man Owner,' and finally, 'Both Man and Dog Suffer Bizarre Attack'?
Netizens who clicked on it initially only thought it was clickbait—just a case of dogs biting someone, followed by someone beating up the vicious dogs and their owner.
But once they actually saw the video, their 'Holy crap, holy crap' reactions became uncontrollable.
Because in the video, both the man and the dogs were genuinely attacked in a 'bizarre' manner.
Especially those two Beasts; they were incredibly fierce at first.
But suddenly, they were pressed down as if by a giant hand from the sky, and without even a whimper, they instantly perished.
The Bald Man's fate was similar.
He yelled loudly, but it clearly had no effect on the outcome, and in the end, even his two legs were broken.
At this point, the netizens were shocked:
"Holy crap, what did I just see? Did a ghost or deity really intervene? Otherwise, it's impossible to explain!"
"It's too bizarre. Although it's gratifying, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up while watching!"
"The people on site must have been scared stiff. I can hear voices discussing it, which means this video isn't Photoshopped."
"It's not Photoshopped, it's definitely real. I just don't know why this happened. Has the Spiritual Energy Revival begun, and have ghosts and deities emerged?"
"Hey, did you guys notice something?
In a spot farther away in the video, there's a strangely dressed person whose behavior is odd. Why do I get the feeling that he's controlling things remotely?"
"Hiss! I saw it too. Look, that guy is wearing a mask and sunglasses late at night, wrapped up like a zongzi dumpling.
But unlike the other onlookers around him who are just staring blankly, he's waving his hand, he's waving his hand!"
"Exactly! I just watched it carefully, and I found that every time this person waves his hand, something happens at the scene.
This is most obvious when the two vicious dogs are killed and when the Bald Man is slapped. Look how fast that strangely dressed person is waving his hand.
If you move his position right in front of the Bald Man and put his hand on the Bald Man's face, then all of this becomes very straightforward!"
"But... this person is at least ten meters away from the Bald Man! Can he hit the Bald Man from that distance?"
"Uh... I don't know about that. That's the most bizarre part of this whole incident. I suspect this person has superpowers!
Otherwise, why would he need to wrap himself up so tightly late at night? He's clearly afraid of being recognized!"
... It must be said that the netizens have sharp eyes.
When they first watched the video, they were only shocked by the bizarreness of the scene.
But soon, someone noticed the odd behavior of a certain person at the scene and subsequently deduced some shocking conclusions.
In the end, all discussions about this video centered on this 'strangely dressed person.'
Unfortunately, because it was nighttime, the lighting was dim.
And Xu Lu had already performed 'Anti-Divination' work beforehand.
Therefore, no matter how much the netizens speculated, they ultimately couldn't deduce anything concrete.
Xu Lu, who had already returned home, simply hadn't seen this trending topic.
Otherwise, he definitely would have been glad he was so cautious beforehand.
"The Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms has been solidified into a permanent skill, but the Super Healing Ability is still two uses short. I might as well finish it all today, lest I forget later when I get too busy!"
Xu Lu glanced at the skill panel in his mind.
Then he took out an embroidery needle and pricked his index finger and middle finger twice.
Just as drops of blood were about to emerge, the Super Healing Ability instantly took effect. The next moment, both fingers were restored to normal.
Seeing this scene, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Lu's mind, and he mused:
"Good thing I don't need a circumcision. Otherwise, with the Super Healing Ability, even if I wanted to cut that thing, I wouldn't be able to get a clean cut!"
