Chapter 839 - Someone Familiar

The sight of the empty grass field stunned everyone. It was utterly desolate.

However, the Daoist had firmly affirmed that there was someone here. Could he have been wrong?

Everyone looked down and waited for an answer from Li Huowang, who was currently underground.

Li Huowang was equally confused. What’s going on? The spine sword should be here!

Li Huowang had a bad feeling. What’s going on? The Three Ancient Ones aren’t part of the Sitting Oblivion Dao. Could the Three Ancient Ones also trick others?

As he pondered, his surroundings underwent a sudden and rapid transformation. The lush green grass swiftly morphed into trees, and the plains became a forest that continued to stretch outwards.

A group of armed people walked out from the center of the forest. Their leader, a man with a single eye, was holding onto Li Huowang’s spine sword!

It wasn’t that they weren’t hiding here. Li Huowang and the others had arrived a bit early!

Li Huowang thrust both arms upwards and grabbed the single-eyed man's legs. They sprung their encirclement and everything exploded into action.

The tranquil forest turned into an intense battlefield, descending into utter chaos. Li Huowang ignored everything as he pursued his top priority—taking back the spine sword!

The ground turned soft, and Li Huowang dragged the man downwards. The next moment, just as both of them had sunk into the ground, the entire layer of earth exploded.

The man with only one eye leaped up, his veins bulging across his body. He held onto the spine sword and stabbed Li Huowang.

Instead of dodging, Li Huowang recklessly charged ahead.

The spine sword phased through Li Huowang’s body, and then he held onto it so firmly that the man could not move it.

Li Huowang glared at the single-eyed man. “Give me back my spine sword!”

“Aiyaya~ Boss Hong Zhong, long time no see. Do you still remember me?”

Li Huowang remembered her! It was one of the Liang Kingdom’s Sitting Oblivion Dao members, Bei Feng! He had thought she was dead, but here she was, working for the royal palace of the Liang Kingdom!

“Bei Feng!?” Li Huowang spoke and realized his voice had turned into that of a woman! He looked in front of him and saw Bei Feng in his original body!

Li Huowang looked down and saw the green jacket before realizing what had happened. Bei Feng switched bodies with me!

He was now in a regular woman’s body—he was trapped inside a useless body!

“As long as I kill Hong Zhong, I will become Hong Zhong instead.” Bei Feng, now in Li Huowang’s body, chuckled.

Bei Feng had just said that when everyone around her turned and charged toward him with their weapons. They intended to kill him while he was in the woman’s body!

At that crucial moment, Li Huowang’s memories of being in the Sitting Oblivion Dao resurfaced. Out of nowhere, the woman began scolding the surrounding people with a furious expression.

“You bunch of fools! I haven’t had the chance to switch bodies yet! Are you stupid? Why are you blindly trusting someone just because of their words? Don’t let Hong Zhong deceive you!”

Their weapons stopped just a single inch away from her body. Everyone looked at Li Huowang before looking at the woman before them. They started to hesitate.

“Hehehe~ Boss Hong Zhong. We haven’t seen each other in a while, but you seem better at trickery now. You must’ve been practicing hard.”

“Hehehe~ Boss Hong Zhong. We haven’t seen each other in a while, but you seem better at trickery now. You must’ve been practicing hard.”

Li Huowang and Bei Feng spoke the same words at the same exact time, and now everyone was confused as to who was who.

“Interesting. This is really interesting...” Li Huowang and Bei Feng spoke and laughed simultaneously.

The winner would now be determined by a game of deceit.
