Chapter 338 - Sitting Oblivion Dao
Jiang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as Li Huowang’s black-tassel sword blocked Hong Da’s rusted blade.
The rusted blade cracked and shattered, but a shrapnel still magically flew toward Li Huowang’s face.
However, faced with this deadly attack, Li Huowang had no intention of guarding against it. He twisted his sword, choosing to cut off Hong Da’s head at the expense of getting injured himself.
But at that moment, a strong wind came from Li Huowang’s side. It was Xin Chi. He raised his right leg and stepped on Li Huowang.
At that moment, a dark shadow twisted out from within Li Huowang’s Daoist robe and grabbed the bronze coin sword before stabbing it at Xin Chi’s feet.
It was one of Li Sui’s tentacles. He was helping Li Huowang take care of the surprise attacks.
Li Sui and Li Huowang worked in tandem, allowing them to fight against two people at the same time. However, given that there were three opponents, they were just not enough.
A dull explosion rang out as Li Huowang spat out blood and flew into the debris, sending out a plume of dust. At this point, Li Huowang’s face was stabbed full of shrapnel. nove(l)bi(n.)com
Even though he felt like his organs had rearranged themselves, Li Huowang stood up. When he did, he saw that he was surrounded once more.
Suddenly, Tuoba Danqing, who had attacked him just now, warned everyone. “Don’t attack his back. It seems that he has armor there. His body was tough.”
Li Huowang swallowed his blood and roared at Tuoba Danqing, “Senior Tuoba, you saw the tentacles on my body just now! Ask yourself, can the Sitting Oblivion Dao copy my techniques?!”
Tuoba Danqing glanced at the black tentacle that was holding the bronze coin sword, his eyes filled with a hint of hesitation. But in the end, he decided to not believe Li Huowang. “Hong Da, lend me a blade.”
Hearing this, Hong Da opened his clothes and chose the longest blade from his collection.
At this point, it was clear that they did not trust Li Huowang, and so there was no point in trying to talk any further.
“No need to explain it to them! Kill them all! Kill! Kill! Kill!” At that moment, a domineering woman’s voice exploded in Li Huowang’s mind.
At the same time, a surge of anger flooded into his mind as Li Huowang stood his ground, ready to fight against Tuoba Danqing.
However, just as he sighed in relief and was about to escape the collapsed temple, he ran into a familiar face.
It was another Li Huowang.
Looking at each other’s faces, both Li Huowangs looked surprised.
“Er Jiu! Kill him! That’s a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao!” At that moment, Xin Chi’s voice rang out in the fake Li Huowang’s mind.
Hearing that, the fake Li Huowang revealed an expression of disgust and unsheathed the bronze coin sword on his back before running toward the real Li Huowang. “Sitting Oblivion Dao! You dare disguise yourself as me! Die!”
With this, Li Huowang was once again trapped and surrounded.
At that moment, Xin Chi ran up to the real Li Huowang before using his massive legs to step on him.
Surprisingly, the real Li Huowang just phased through his legs.
Xin Chi was caught unaware as he watched Li Huowang sink into the ground.
However, that had just been an illusion. The real Li Huowang had long since turned invisible and hidden himself away.
After escaping the encirclement, Li Huowang was currently hiding atop one of the roofs as he looked at the four people standing on the ground.
“Damn! That fellow from the Sitting Oblivion Dao knows how to travel through the ground!” said the fake Li Huowang in frustration.
Just then, XIn Chi approached the fake Li Huowang carefully and then used his telepathy to warn the other two. “Careful, this man is a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”
However, without waiting for the two of them to react, the fake Li Huowang showed off a surprised expression, his eyes growing wide. “Master Xin Chi, what is the meaning of this? If I’m from the Sitting Oblivion Dao, then doesn’t that mean that the person from just now had been real? Since he had been real, then why were you framing him? Do you want to kill both the fake and the real Li Huowang? Just because I challenged your authority once? Are you that petty? Can you really tell the real person apart from a fake or were you perhaps mistaken once again?”
As he spoke, the fake Li Huowang retreated away from Xin Chi.
At this point, even Tuoba Danqing and Hong Da stopped as they looked at Xin Chi.
On the other hand, not knowing how to explain the situation, Xin Chi started panicking.
Meanwhile, as Li Huowang looked at the situation down below, he started chuckling. He had never thought that his enemy, the Sitting Oblivion Dao, would end up helping him like this.
1. A Gu is a venom-based poison associated with cultures of south China, particularly Nanyue The traditional preparation of gu poison involves sealing several venomous creatures (e.g., centipede, snake, scorpion) inside a closed container, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor, whose body would be fed upon by larvae until consumed. The last surviving larva held the complex poison. ?
