Chapter 573 - Shai Zi

“Hong Zhong! Hahahaha!” Gao Zhijian smiled viciously as he stared at Li Huowang with his twisted face. He didn’t even blink as he continued, "This is all thanks to you. If it hadn't been for you, it would have been impossible for me to take over the Great Qi’s emperor body and the rare Hundred Souls Layered Body. If it hadn't been for you, the Ji family of the Liang Kingdom wouldn’t have been annihilated. It if hadn't been for you, Zhuge Yuan wouldn't have followed our plan! Don’t worry, I’m a good man. Since we did this together, we should enjoy the rewards together!” Gao Zhijian plunged downward and extended his dragon claw toward Li Huowang to take the latter with him to the sky.

Li Huowang gulped a mouthful of his own saliva as he extended his left arm.

Just as his left hand touched Gao Zhijian’s hand, Li Huowang immediately chopped it off.

The severed left hand shot toward Gao Zhijian's face.

The bone spikes scraped Gao Zhijian’s scaly face, producing sparks. Gao Zhijian’s smile slowly disappeared as he said, “Hong Zhong. You're going too far here. I’m just trying to help you. How could you repay my kindness with hatred?”

Swoosh!

A headless young woman hurled Li Huowang toward Gao Zhijian, and the latter spread his arms as if to welcome Li Huowang.

The two clashed in mid-air; Gao Zhijian used his horns to stop Li Huowang’s purple-tasseled sword. Gao Zhijian parried Li Huowang's sword attack and sent the sword flying upward, which made Li Huowang vulnerable to further attacks.

A dragon claw wrapped with golden chains made a beeline for Li Huowang’s chest.

At the critical juncture, Li Huowang manifested Peng Longteng's figure, and Peng Longteng's large figure clad in heavy armor blocked the attack.

Unfortunately, Gao Zhijian’s claws pierced Peng Longteng, tearing open a large hole in her chest.

The Dragon Vein was like a stick that shot past Peng Longteng’s chest and approached Li Huowang at terrifying speeds.

Li Huowang raised his sword once more, and Gao Zhijian raised his horns without hesitation before swinging his head into the sword.

Gao Zhijian was confident in his move, as his horns were harder than Li Huowang's sword.

A young woman in white was floating like an Immortal before him. Most importantly, she looked incredibly familiar.

The young woman waved her hand, and a long silk scarf floated over and covered Li Huowang before pulling him lightly toward one of the lotus.

An ointment with the consistency of pork lard was brushed on Li Huowang’s wound. The pain instantly disappeared, and he felt so comfortable that he felt like he was sprawled out on a bed of cotton.

When he snapped back to reality, Li Huowang realized that he was on Bai Lingmiao’s lap.

“Miaomiao?” Li Huowang asked hesitantly. He wasn’t sure what was happening going on as he stared at the young woman before him.

A white lotus motif was on Bai Lingmiao's forehead, and her face was devoid of emotions. Moreover, her eyes were covered with a long white piece of silk cloth.

“Miaomiao, it’s really you!” Li Huowang hugged her after becoming sure of her identity.

Bai Lingmiao hesitated before hugging him back.

“Where were you all this while? I was so worried about you!” Li Huowang exclaimed, hugging her tightly. Li Huowang had been missing Bai Lingmiao so much to the extent that he'd stuff her into his pockets if he could do so.

“Senior Li, didn’t I send you a letter? Did you not receive it?” Bai Lingmiao asked. Her voice was still soft, but there was no longer any warmth in it.

Li Huowang's heart skipped a little, and he looked at Gao Zhijian. Roughly half of the lotuses in the air had vanished.

“Hong Zhong, what did I say? I told you that I didn’t kidnap your woman. We're the Sitting Oblivion Dao. We don’t do something like that, but... we're supposed to deceive people, you know that, right? I just deceived you into thinking that I had kidnapped her. Don’t be mad at me for that, okay? This was all your doing. I did nothing here, hehehe~”

Li Huowang glared at Gao Zhijian. “Didn’t you say that you'd only use the truth to trick others? Is that what you meant by truth?”

“Hahaha! You actually believed the words of a Sitting Oblivion Dao member? Hahaha!” Shai Zi laughed in mid-air.
