Chapter 497 - Appearance

Li Huowang felt the sharp knives cutting through the air. He looked up and saw that the robe covered with knives was like a chakram coming down on his head. He immediately cut off two of his fingers and threw them out.

His severed fingers deflected the robe, and Li Huowang took this chance to get close to the woman. Just then, Hong Da’s familiar face appeared in front of him as his robe flew back and landed on his dirty body.

Even though Hong Da couldn’t see Li Huowang, he somehow managed to sense the latter. “Who’s there? Show yourself!”

Li Huowang didn’t want to waste time and tore off his own face to slap it onto Hong Da’s face. Visit novelbin(.)com for the latest updates

At the same time, the Daoist in the rear pointed Zhuge Yuan’s brush at Li Huowang, and the mask was torn in half. The Daoist then made a seal to reveal Li Huowang.

Li Huowang saw that the woman had already cut the being that rose from her shadow into four parts. The woman was about to swing the spine sword at Li Huowang when the latter sliced open his chest with a dagger and shattered his two lowermost ribs before stabbing it into himself. A wave of pain erupted from Li Huowang. Everyone let out agonized screams along with Li Huowang, and the woman's attack came to an abrupt halt.

Fortunately, Li Huowang had long gotten used to such extreme pain. He recovered quickly and skirted past Hong Da to reach the woman.

Li Huowang didn’t want to kill her as she might be instrumental in stopping Natural Disasters. All he wanted was the weapon refined from Zhuge Yuan’s corpse. Li Huowang swung his dagger at her slim fingers that were holding the spine sword.

Clang!

Li Huowang was stunned to see his dagger breaking in half.

A small golden Buddha that resembled the woman emerged from her sleeves. The small golden Buddha was roughly the size of only a fingertip, and it cried out at Li Huowang.

It had used its golden skull to break Li Huowang’s weapon!

She’s a Buddhist?! Li Huowang cursed under his breath and reached for his purple-tasseled sword.

A rusted blade suddenly appeared next to Li Huowang's torso, forcing him to stop. The next moment, his purple-tasseled sword transformed into a black tassel sword with several mahjong tiles hanging from it.

That was close! Hong Da is familiar with my weapon, so he would’ve discovered my identity if I had taken it out just now!

Li Huowang felt like his legs were stuck to the ground; he could not move at all. He twisted his head and saw that the Surveillance Bureau members busy killing the Dharma Sect members earlier were coming to assist their fellow members.

The surviving Dharma Sect members had already fled.

What should I do? Li Huowang swept his gaze across everyone's faces. Do I really need to fight for real?

If he used all of his strength, Hong Da would definitely recognize him. If that happened, he would have to kill all of them to protect his identity.

However, the Surveillance Bureau had not done anything wrong, so he didn’t want to do that at all. They were just doing their job by killing the evil Dharma Sect members.

Li Huowang wanted to explore his options before resorting to an all-out brawl.

Li Huowang’s stomach expanded and contracted rapidly as a deep growling came from his belly.

“Step down before I get angry. I was just messing around with you just now,” Li Huowang said.

However, his lie didn’t even faze the Surveillance Bureau members. Two of them wearing a monk's robe covered Li Huowang’s head with a net soaked in period blood to prevent him from escaping.

The Daoist then raised the brush with both of his hands and mustered all of his strength to point it at Li Huowang’s body. The Daoist’s hair transformed from black to white.

Li Huowang’s color was about to get absorbed into the brush when Li Huowang closed his eyes.

Just then, a massive headless body appeared in front of him. It was none other than Peng Longteng!

“Careful! He has backup!”

The Surveillance Bureau members became wary and gripped their weapons tightly at the appearance of the headless woman.

However, the Daoist holding the brush was even more surprised than anyone. He stared at Peng Longteng in disbelief and exclaimed, “This is impossible! I'm wielding Zhuge Yuan’s Kuixing Brush! How come she's still standing?!”
