Chapter 52 - Dan Yangzi

Chapter 52 - Dan Yangzi

“Thunder?” Jian Dun and the rest of the Buddhas looked toward the sky, only to see that the moon had disappeared. The entire night sky was covered in dark clouds, rolling and rumbling. The sound of thunder could be heard rumbling from time to time, but it was odd; it didn’t sound like thunder at all.

“Cough-cough...” Li Huowang coughed a few times as his breathing turned ragged, and he fell to the ground. When he turned to look at the sky while lying down, he once again saw his Master amidst the dark clouds.

He was still as ugly as ever.

Black feathers sprouted from his bloody body, while three different faces replaced what had once been his head. In addition to his normal human organs, his burgeoning body was also riddled with many non-human organs. His body was nightmarishly black; his eyes were filled with a mysterious liquid, while his pupils were mere slits. Tentacles covered parts of his body.

Everything about him was vile.

Even so, a mysterious veil made from white smoke hung around his body, as if he was something divine. His body was in a constant state of shifting and turning—his body shifted as his organs moved around and his faces changed position.

Li Huowang had only been staring at Dan Yangzi for a short period of time when his eyes started bleeding, and veins started bulging on his head. He felt like his head was going to explode.

No! I cannot stare at him anymore. This composition is securely entrenched in n0v*lbin★

Li Huowang shifted his gaze away, feeling slightly better. His body had weakened considerably in just this short while. However, even if his life was no longer in danger from looking at Dan Yangzi, his blood loss might end up killing him soon.

He weakly patted his waist and fished out some of the Blood Nourishing pills and consumed them with his last remaining strength. The rate at which blood flowed out of his wound gradually slowed down.

But this was not enough.

Li Huowang then took out some pills meant to reinforce the energy of his body before eating them.

When Li Huowang finally had the chance to once again gaze at Dan Yangzi, he saw his Master turn around and show a horrifying smile on all three of his mouths as he said, “My dear disciple.”

Poof!

With a soft sound, Dan Yangzi’s body disappeared like smoke in the wind.

Time slowly passed, and soon, the moon reappeared, covering the forest in a soft silver veil. Everything had ended.

Li Huowang grabbed his neck and forced himself to sit up. He saw the others that were still trapped within the crude cage made by Jian Dun. All of them were shocked and didn’t even dare to speak.

Li Huowang had an idea as to what they were thinking and weakly explained to them, “No need to be afraid. Dan Yangzi is well and truly dead. He won’t use all of you as guiding drug ingredients anymore.”

However, Li Huowang’s words did not reduce their fear. In fact, some of them even started crying.

It was Bai Lingmiao who broke the silence first, her face even paler than usual. “Senior Li, what Dan Yangzi? We didn’t see anything.”

Li Huowang struggled to swallow his saliva. “Did you not see Dan Yangzi killing the Buddhas? Was he invisible to all of you?”

Li Huowang thought that it might be a possibility.

But just then, Puppy’s entire body started trembling from fear and shock. He didn’t dare to look at Li Huowang as he closed his eyes and shouted in a trembling voice, “Senior Li! There is no Dan Yangzi! It was you all along!”

“What?” Li Huowang endured the pain and touched his face; there was some sticky goo covering him.

He continued touching his face and found that both of his cheeks had been torn open, as if he had opened his mouth to an impossibly large size.

But none of that was important.

What was important was that he felt full. Really full.
