"Please...God..." Li Zhi's unique loud voice echoed from within the forest, and the strange Twin Soul began to tremble in response.
"As the sun sets, the sky turns black. Families close their doors, and magpies and crows flock to the big tree. Sparrows and turtles rush to the eaves, and the road grows shorter... Ah!"
Li Zhi's plea to the gods suddenly came to an abrupt halt, obviously catching Twin Soul off guard. She looked up in astonishment at Li Huowang and his smirking lips.
"You came to test me, but who says I'm not testing you? I've been fooled by the monks once before. Once bitten, twice shy. I have to be cautious."
As Li Huowang spoke, the sound of scattered footsteps could be heard coming from the woods. It was Gouwa and his gang.
They held weapons in their hands and pushed and shoved Li Zhi, who was covered in blood. Meanwhile, the old drum that Li Zhi used for jumping gods was firmly grasped by Xiao Man, who was covered in black fur.
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].
Li Huowang reached out and took the old drum from Xiao Man's hand, and then threw it on the ground in front of Li Zhi. With a swift stroke, he pierced it with his sword, causing the tightly stretched drumhead to break easily.
After these few days of contact, Li Huowang realized that no matter how powerful the immortals were, the person performing the ritual was still a mortal. As long as he could control him, everything would be easy.
Looking at the shining blades around him, Li Zhi, who had been hit in the mouth, showed no fear or even hatred on his face. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I can't make the decision on this matter."
"Clang!" The sharp, charcoal-black sword was already at Li Zhi's neck. "Do you still want to deceive me at this point? Let Twin Soul give up resistance!"
Li Huowang's gaze was fixed on the unrecognizable Twin Soul in the distance. Li Zhi was trapped, but the unknown creature in the distance was still a problem.
"Hehe... What makes you think my wife will listen to me?" Li Zhi said, and then saw Twin Soul open her mouth and roar fiercely before running into the forest like a wild beast, leaving him alone.
"Master Li, I'm not lying to you. We disciples are not the same as you. There are some things that I really can't decide." Li Zhi struggled to explain in a pale voice.
"Do you think I'll suddenly have a change of heart and let you go just because of what you say?" Li Huowang's sword moved slightly forward.
"Hehe, probably not." Facing the possibility of death at any moment, Li Zhi remained calm.
Looking at the captive in front of him, Li Huowang pondered for a moment before slowly asking, "What is Heart Essence? Why do you call me Heart Essence?"
This was what he cared about the most. They must have had a reason to attack him, and this Heart Essence had already appeared twice.
Li Zhi sighed helplessly. "I guess you really don't know anything. You blinded me with that blood-stained clothes of yours before."
"What is Heart Essence?" Li Huowang asked through gritted teeth, cutting a wound with his sword.
Li Zhi looked at Li Huowang and chuckled. "Hehe, you're quick-witted, but I'm afraid you can't beat the old immortal."The next moment, Li Zhi's eyes began to turn red and elongate, and hedgehog-like spines protruded from under his eyes. His nose twisted forward, and his entire face began to deform into a grotesque version of Twin Soul's appearance.
With one hand, Li Huowang pressed a sharp blade towards Li Zhi's neck, but beneath the torn skin were not blood vessels, but a row of densely packed and hard snake scales.
"Kill him!!"
With Li Huowang's shout, a huge wooden club rushed forward with a gust of wind and smashed Li Zhi's head.
Blood and flesh splattered, and Li Zhi, who had just undergone a transformation, instantly died and fell to the ground.
"Boom boom boom!!" The sound of urgent drumming came from the dark forest, attracting everyone's attention.
Li Huowang looked down at the broken drum on the ground in surprise. "Drumming? Why is there still drumming? I destroyed Li Zhi's drum, didn't I?"
"Please~ the gods~"
Accompanied by the drumming and divine melody, a figure stumbled out of the woods. It was Twin Soul, or perhaps Li Zhi.
As Li Zhi's face transformed, the grotesque features on Twin Soul's face disappeared. The two of them had effortlessly exchanged places, with Li Zhi becoming Twin Soul and Twin Soul becoming Li Zhi.
"Boom boom boom~!!" Sudden drumming came from under Li Zhi's body, and everyone took a deep breath when they looked towards him.
The man's clothes were open, and one hand forcibly pulled up the skin on his stomach, while the other held a drumstick and struck the drum.
Without a drum, Li Zhi had lifted his own skin to make a drum! "Boom boom boom!!"
"The sun sets in the west, the sky turns black, every household closes their doors. Magpies and crows fly to the big tree, sparrows and turtles rush to the eaves. The road to the small house is blocked, nine out of ten households have locked their doors. Only one household has not closed their door, burning incense and playing drums to invite the gods~"
As soon as the words fell, Twin Soul, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly stood up, even though most of his head had collapsed.
"Poof" sounds rang out as all the weapons, including the long sword in Li Huowang's hand, were instantly inserted into Twin Soul's body.
Li Huowang was very certain that his sword had pierced Twin Soul's heart, but Twin Soul still stood there straight.
"We invite the red first and then the yellow, the red leads the army, the yellow is the vanguard, the wind and clouds are the soldiers, and the sad king is at the door~"
A huge force suddenly emanated from Twin Soul's body, and as he twisted his body, all the people holding weapons around him suddenly let go.
"No! Li Zhi's drumming must stop!! He is the key!" Li Huowang reached into his right hand, and the brass bell appeared in his hand.
"Ring ring ring!!" "Boom boom boom!!"
The two different sounds intertwined in the entire forest.
Various lines quickly condensed into Gamekeeper in all directions. Li Huowang's dizzy head suddenly swayed, and Gamekeeper instantly split into four and rushed towards Li Zhi.
Ignoring the blood flowing from his body due to the skinning, Li Zhi's forehead veins bulged as he rapidly increased the speed of the divine melody.
"On the table, the feast is laid out, delicious food and drink, delicious and satisfying. Tell your men to come, tell your men to say, the men will prepare it for you. If you want to eat fatty beef and mutton, or lean chicken, duck, and goose, you, old immortal, want to eat that forgetful meat, the men will find a way to get it for you~!!"Li Huowang felt a pain in his neck. Before he knew it, Twin Soul had already appeared behind him, with sharp teeth and a bloody mouth, fiercely biting into the flesh of his shoulder.
