348 No Room For Negotiations

“Lin Ming, What’s with you?” Suddenly, a voice appeared.

Lin Ming turned his head and frowned.

“Why are you in our world?” Lin Ming said coldly.

The person who had just spoken was the Buddha!

“I need to travel around for my cultivation to break through, so that’s why I’m here in this world to travel,” Buddha smiled and said.

“I wonder what has offended you. Why are you in such a bad mood?” Buddha asked Lin Ming with a kind face.

“Tsk tsk, why are you pretending to be a good person before me?” Lin Ming sneered and said.

“What do you mean by pretending to be a good person? I don’t know how I offended you, but please forgive me,” Buddha still out on the character of a good guy as he looked at Lin Ming innocently and said.

“Do you want me to use the power of karma? Are you trying me?” Lin Ming snorted coldly and lost his patience.

“There’s no need for that, fellow friend Lin Ming. I’ll admit that I did use some tricks, but at that time, I had also fought hard for the Dragon Vein,” Upon hearing Lin Ming’s words, Buddha’s expression abruptly changed and he said.

One had to know that the power of karma was currently in his body. It was just that Lin Ming was still controlling it and hadn’t unleashed the power yet.

Once the power of karma was unleashed in Buddha’s body, he would probably lose at least ten thousand years’ worth of cultivation.

“Back then, I hadn’t been able to defeat you, so I was forced to leave. It’s just that now, I’ve only used a little trick to steal a little bit of Fate. It was just a little bit, so fellow friend Lin Ming, please forgive me. After all, you know that just this bit won’t affect the Dragon Vein too much,” Buddha looked at Lin Ming and said.

“I won’t tolerate even a bit,” Lin Ming snorted coldly and said.

“Yes, yes, yes. I’ve indeed made a mistake on this point. That being said, fellow friend Lin Ming, please remove the power of karma in my body,” Buddha smiled and said.

“This is naturally simple,” Lin Ming nodded and said.

“Thank you, fellow friend Lin Ming,” Seeing Lin Ming’s attitude, Buddha immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn’t expect Lin Ming to be so easily fooled.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been so nervous.

“Give me back the Fate you stole, and I’ll remove the power of karma for you. How about it? This is very fair,” Lin Ming spread his hands and said.

“This…” After hearing Lin Ming’s words, Buddha frowned again.

They had already used the Fate!

Now that Lin Ming was asking him to hand over the portion of Fate that he had stolen, he simply couldn’t take anything out at all!

“Hmm? You’re unwilling?” Lin Ming looked at Buddha coldly and said.

At this moment, Buddha didn’t know how to answer Lin Ming

Sure enough, Lin Ming wasn’t so easily fooled!

“Fellow friend Lin Ming, my cultivation requires Fate. It was the most crucial step, so when I obtained the Fate, I had directly used it for my cultivation,” Buddha said embarrassedly.

“Then just let the power of karma stay in your body,” Lin Ming nodded and didn’t say anything else.

“Fellow friend Lin Ming, this!” Hearing Lin Ming’s words, Buddha frowned.

If the power of karma was to be left in his body., this meant that there would always be a ticking bomb in his body.

Who knows when it might be detonated by Lin Ming.

If Lin Ming activated the bomb during the critical moment of his cultivation, or when he was experiencing Heaven’s Tribulation in the void, he would probably suffer many damages even if he didn’t die.

“I won’t say I’m very fair when doing things, but at the very least, I’ve offered to exchange for an equal price. The power of karma had only appeared in your body because you had stolen Fate. So now, as long as you hand over the Fate that you had stolen, I will remove the power of karma and not pursue the matter. Even this isn’t enough?” Lin Ming looked at Buddha, frowned, and asked.

“But, I’ve really used all of it for cultivation,” Buddha sighed and said.

“Then there’s no other way. By the way, why did you come here to look for senior Pan Gu?” Lin Ming waved his hand and said.

“Pan Gu? I just conveniently paid a visit to Pan Gu while on my travels. After all, Pan Gu could cultivate to such a level although being a mere mortal, so I naturally want to ask for advice,” Buddha said.

“Fellow friend Lin Ming, I really can’t hand over the Fate now, but I can use other things in exchange. What do you think of this?” Buddha avoided the topic as much as he could. Besides, the ticking time bomb in his body was giving him a headache.

“I’m not interested in any of the things you have. That being said, I’m quite interested in the Green Lotus you’re sitting on,” Lin Ming looked at Buddha, sneered, and said.

“Fellow friend Lin Ming… isn’t this a bit too much?” After hearing Lin Ming’s words, Buddha frowned.

He hadn’t expected Lin Ming to want the Green Lotus he was sitting on.

Putting everything else aside, the Green Lotus was his symbol as Buddha.

Even if he disregarded the benefits the Green Lotus brought him, if he really handed it over to Lin Ming, his dignity would be completely gone.

“Then there’s no need for any further negotiations,” Lin Ming wouldn’t just easily dispel the power of karma for Buddha.

He was saying he wanted the Green Lotus only to make things difficult for Buddha.

At this moment, Buddha was already furious, but he had no choice but to endure it.

This was because he had fought with Lin Ming before.

Back then, when Lin Ming had fought against him and the Heavenly Emperor alone, he had suppressed both of them in combat.

On top of that, they had used most of their strength and methods back then, yet Lin Ming had still been very relaxed. It was a breeze for him to deal with them.

Now, he was the only one around. If he couldn’t control himself and fought with Lin Ming, he would only be beaten up.

Therefore, if Buddha wanted Lin Ming to remove the power of karma for him, he could currently only resort to softer methods.

“Don’t say anymore. It’s either the Green Lotus or the Fate. There’s no room for negotiation,” Lin Ming looked at Buddha who came forward again and said with a cold snort.

“I…” At this moment, Buddha had a bitter look on his face.

Why did he have to bear all the responsibility for what the three of them had done together?

Besides, Lin Ming was not easy to deal with, yet he had to deal with him alone.

Right now, Pan Gu and the other expert at the strongest tier were running as far as they could.

“By the way, why aren’t you staying in the void and researching on how to break the ancient curse? What are you traveling for?” Lin Ming suddenly asked Buddha.

“The key reason for my travels is to find a way to break the ancient curse,” Buddha smiled bitterly and said.
