Chapter 537 - Dharma Sect

Li Huowang was confused when someone called out to him. “Daoist! Daoist!”

The man with his bound feet walked over to Li Huowang and smiled. “You're leaving? How about staying for a few more nights?”

“What are you doing?” Li Sui asked.

The men heard her and opened the pot lid. The steam escaped the pot, and a large stone, roughly the size of a watermelon, was sitting in the boiling water.

“We are cooking stone soup! This is a very nutritious meal. Not only could you stave off your hunger, you can even extend your lifespan. We just have to cook this stone until it becomes soft, and we can then ascend to the realm of the Immortals after drinking it! We no longer need to suffer the pain of the mortal realm.”

“Hm?” Li Huowang frowned and looked at the man in front of him. He hesitated for a moment before deciding to give some advice. “You think you can become immortal if you cook stone soup? Are you tricked by the Sitting Oblivion Dao?”

The man covered the lid and placed the pot back on the stove. “Daoist? What’s the Sitting Oblivion Dao? I’ve never heard of that before.”

“Stop cooking it. The one who told you that was lying. You can’t cook stones, and drinking boiled stone water won’t turn you into an Immortal.”

Li Huowang did what his conscience had told him to do and left. He had just taken several steps when he noticed several men approaching him with hostility in their faces.

Li Huowang gripped the hilt of his sword when he saw that all of them were wearing the same white towel on their heads.

“A liar? Sir Arrogant Stone, who has descended upon the mortal realm, was the one who told us to cook these stones!”

“Arrogant Stone?” Li Huowang mumbled, trying to recall if he had ever heard of that name before. He was about to retort, but he realized that he had been surrounded by the townspeople. All of them had the same white towel on their heads.

Li Huowang unsheathed his purple-tasseled sword, and a killing intent burst out of him spread out. “Scram!”

The townspeople retreated at Li Huowang's fierce display, but they didn’t retreat far away. More and more people with white towels on their heads came out from the alleyways to join the others.

“Junior Li, we need to go now. I’ve been in the Great Qi for so long, and I've never heard of anyone with the moniker 'Arrogant Stone.' Something’s wrong with them!”

Li Huowang opened his mouth, and Li Sui entered his body without needing any instructions.

Black tentacles sprouted out from his body and thrashed wildly, knocking the pots and stoves toward the people.

The boiling water scalded the townspeople, and they cried out in pain.

Li Huowang gritted his teeth when he felt their gazes. He gripped his purple-tassel sword with his right while he unsheathed the spine sword with his left. He smashed the spine sword on the ground.

Li Sui’s tentacles opened Li Huowang’s bag of torture tools, and her tentacles all held polished torture tools except for one tentacle holding the bronze coin sword.

“AAAAAAAAH!” The skinny refugees revealed their yellowing teeth as they ran at Li Huowang like zombies.

“Li Sui! Do it!” Li Huowang ran into the crowd without any hesitation.

He swung the spine sword, and a large group of the refugees was cut down like rice stalks. Blood sprayed everywhere as only their lower half remained.

Li Huowang jumped and crashed into the crowd. Blood and gore would paint the air every time he landed.

Even though there were many people from the Dharma Sect here, none of them could block even a single attack.

The purple-tasseled sword was a weapon forged for the army. Rather than losing strength, he was becoming stronger as he killed the refugees.

Li Huowang finally discovered the sword's true potential. It flourished in battles!

“Kill them all!” Li Huowang’s eyes grew bloodshot, and the world before him became veiled in red.

Clang!

The purple-tasseled sword swung down and broke a sickle as if it were made of clay.

Li Huowang aimed for the next person who had blocked his escape, but he hesitated briefly at the astonishing sight.

The woman was wearing a white towel on her head with a dead baby covered in flies in her arms.

The sight convinced Li Huowang that the lady had gone mad.

The lady looked at Li Huowang and immediately brought out a rusted sickle to thrust toward Li Huowang.

The next moment, a large shadow plummeted, crushing the woman and the baby into a gory paste.

Peng Longteng then grabbed the nearest human being and used them as a weapon to slaughter everyone around her. A clearing was then made around Li Huowang in the blink of an eye.
