Chapter 580 - Fuse

The Chief said nothing in response to Shai Zi’s words, but Li Huowang was different.

Li Huowang grabbed his pain with an agonized look and pointed at Shai Zi. “Gao Zhijian, what are you doing?!”

Gao Zhijian hesitated once again, but he recovered even faster this time.

“It’s useless, Sitting Oblivion Dao. I am the Chosen One. Your tricks will not work on me,” Gao Zhijian said. Then, he swept his gaze across the commanders and asked, “Ma family, Qiu family, Xue family, and Yu family... did all of you come here to spectate? I hope you haven't forgotten your ancestor's pledge.”

Gao Zhijian’s throne burst open, revealing the previous emperor tied to the tail of the Dragon Vein. Gao Zhijian then swung the bloody emperor in front of the commanders.

The next moment, many different weapons wrapped in a dense killing intent flew toward Li Huowang and the Chief.

“Scram!” Li Huowang shouted.

The projectiles flying toward him transformed abruptly, transforming into something else. No, it wasn't just the projectiles—everything around him except the Chief had transformed into something else.

Li Huowang growled, and the surroundings were starting to transform.

The Chief saw that Shai Zi was trying to run away, so he flew over to the latter to stop him.

“Do not get close to that man! Archers, fire!”

“Fire!” A dense blanket of arrows flew from a mountain not too far away. It blotted out the sky and cast a deadly shadow over Li Huowang as the rain of arrows plummeted toward him. However, the attack didn't harm Li Huowang at all. The poison-coated arrows twisted into raindrops the moment they made contact with Li Huowang.

I can’t keep this up! There are too many clouds of primordial breath! I can’t control them all! I have to use them NOW! Li Huowang was bleeding from all of his orifices. He let out a roar and a clearing appeared around him as the soldiers frantically ran away from him for fear of transforming into something else.

“Hehehe. How many times must I tell you that your tricks are not going to work on me!” Shai Zi flew high up in the air, avoiding the Chief. Just then, something appeared before Shai Zi.

“Kill them! The officials and the military are one! Kill them, and I will give you everything!” Shai Zi exclaimed.

The soldiers clad in dragon scale armor quickly moved to surround Li Huowang. He glanced at the Chief, but he saw that the latter was busy fighting Shai Zi. The Chief didn't have any time to spare for Li Huowang.

Li Huowang looked around and saw Shangguan Yuting with her head covered in eyeballs.

I need to do something! Li Huowang grabbed Shangguan Yuting and ate one of her eyeballs. “I need to find a way to defeat Shai Zi!”

An eye manifested on Li Huowang's forehead, but he saw nothing. It made sense, as Shai Zi had already become the Dragon Vein after fusing with it.

However, Li Huowang wasn't going to give up. He ignored Shangguan Yuting’s cries of pain as he devoured the eyeballs on her head. Li Huowang's third eye started to shine even brighter as he ate more of Shangguan Yuting's eyeballs.

Unfortunately, the soldiers weren't going to wait for Li Huowang to finish.

One of the soldiers shouted, “Jingyan formation!”

The soldiers lined up in a formation before charging at Li Huowang.

Swoosh!

The air shrieked as a dragon horn made a beeline for Li Huowang. Before the dragon bone could hit him, however, a white ribbon descended and wrapped around the dragon horn, lifting it up.

Li Huowang had barely managed to avoid getting hit by the attack.

The soldiers looked up and saw white lotus lanterns in the air.

Bai Lingmiao was standing at the helm of a group of White Lotus Sect disciples, and they had come here to protect Li Huowang. The disciples looked different from each other, and they were either topless or were wearing dudous embroidered with pearls.

Their eyes were half closed, and their faces were solemn. The metal rods sticking out of their cheeks had talismans attached to them, and the disciples had tattoos depicting white donkeys.
