Chapter 167 - Chaotic Battle

When the ritual is over, I should be dead, right?

Li Huowang slowly raised his sword, and the worms in his abdomen climbed along his robes before wriggling toward his broken stub of an arm.

In just a few moments, he had a new left hand that was formed with wriggling worms.

After testing his new hand, Li Huowang nodded in satisfaction. Then, he once again looked into the distance, where Dan Yangzi was locked in battle with the five people from the Sitting Oblivion Dao.

From what he could see, Dan Yangzi still had the same terrifying appearance, while the faces of the other five had morphed into fleshy mahjong tiles.

When he thought about his imminent death, Li Huowang’s heart began to calm down. He lifted his sword before walking toward them.

When he got closer, he charged forward and sliced off Dan Yangzi’s central head. “Master, don’t panic, your disciple is here to assist you!”

Meanwhile, the five from the Sitting Oblivion Dao seized the opportunity created by Li Huowang ambushing Dan Yangzi to quickly start levitating in a sitting position. Then, they began to chant while circling the two of them, “What is sitting in oblivion?”

Their voices continuously reverberated throughout the spacious cavern, becoming louder and louder.

On the other hand, as soon as they said those words, Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi pushed off each other, and simultaneously leapt toward one of the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao on either side.

At that moment, a black domino flew toward Li Huowang’s wrist. Just as he was about to dodge it, Yao Ji[1] put his fingers together and snapped. In an instant, the black shadow beneath the domino and the domino switched their positions—the shadow became the domino, and the domino had turned into the shadow.

This caught Li Huowang off-guard, causing the domino to pierce through Li Huowang’s wrist, leaving behind a square gap in its wake.

Without the support of his wrist bones, Li Huowang’s hand was about to droop powerlessly. However, that square hole was quickly filled up by those worms, allowing him to once again hold his sword firmly.

Hehe, we get what we pay for. Looks like I gain quite a bit from sacrificing my internal organs.

Li Huowang thought to himself as he dashed toward Qi Wan[2] in the distance.

This time, Li Huowang did not bother with dodging anything the enemy threw at him, using his body to meet it all head-on. Any damage or loss of body parts was quickly filled in by the wriggling worms. With the strength he borrowed from Ba-Hui, for the moment Li Huowang was evenly matched with them.

“Ah! Didn’t you see that this mahjong tile was dug up from within your flesh! Could there still be—” said Yao Ji before coming to an abrupt stop. He suddenly felt that something was amiss as he spoke. At that moment, he looked down, only to see that several worms had already burrowed into his leg.

Just as Yao Ji’s attention shifted onto his leg, there was a cold flash in front of him, and then Li Huowang’s sword had directly pierced through his neck.

Li Huowang smiled mockingly at Yao Ji before continuing to act in accordance with his lies. “Yes, I recall now. I’m one of the three leaders of the Sitting Oblivion Dao, Hong Zhong. I even recall that back in the day, you stole my woman, and so I’m publicly seeking revenge now.”

As long as he could ascertain the identity of a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao, it was very simple to deal with them—treat anything and everything they said as worthless.

“Boss, I’m speaking the truth!” shouted Yao Ji as he desperately clutched onto Li Huowang’s sword.

“I believe you!” said Li Huowang as he exerted force with one hand, slicing off Yao Ji’s fingers and his square-shaped head.

After that, the worms within Yao Ji’s body burrowed back into Li Huowang’s chest before he turned around and dashed toward the distant battlefield.

One of the liars from Sitting Oblivion Dao had died, and it was time to handicap Dan Yangzi a little.

“Master! Xuan Yang is here to help you!” shouted Li Huowang as he dashed toward Dan Yangzi.

Sploosh!

With the combined efforts of the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao and Li Huowang, Dan Yangzi’s child-like head was cut off quickly.

However, even before Li Huowang could catch his breath, an indistinct fleshy and immature infant head had started to grow out from the wound on Dan Yangzi’s neck.

When Yi Wan saw this happen, he quickly turned toward Li Huowang. “Your Master is semi-Immortal, so it’s completely futile to keep going on like this! Help us fend him off for a moment, and we’ll help you take care of him!”

But all he got in response was Li Huowang spitting a mouthful of blood at him.

“Alright, fine! We did fool you before, but you have already killed Er Bing and Yao Ji. Shouldn’t two lives be enough to soothe some of your anger? And besides, compared to us outsiders, shouldn’t you hate your Master even more?” asked Yi Wan.
