When Li Huowang saw Zhuge Yuan's expression of extreme sadness, he understood that this friend must have deep feelings for him.

Zhuge Yuan is a very righteous person, willing to sacrifice himself for his friends. But to make him kill his friend himself, one can imagine the state of his heart at the moment.

At this moment, Zhuge Yuan spoke again. "After my good friend was controlled by the Lingnie, not only could he use the techniques and powers he had learned in the past, but his power became even stronger after being possessed by the Lingnie."

"Brother Li, the Monitors always talk about how powerful the Lingnie is, but you must be careful. The Lingnie does not play by the rules. What you are fighting with one second may not be the Lingnie the next."

"It can always change its host, which is the most dangerous aspect of the Lingnie. You must strike it down instantly before it can react."

"If you encounter the Lingnie, you must be absolutely certain before taking action. If you are captured by it, it is worse than death. The focus is on the sin, not the spirit."

Just as Zhuge Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. There was a dried-up monkey lying at his feet, with its mouth wide open, limbs twisted, and its belly split open, revealing the rotten innards spread out on the ground like a flower.

"Zhuge brother, according to what you said, it seems that we have found the main culprit this time?" Zhuge Yuan nodded cautiously.

Li Huowang became extremely cautious and slowly walked towards the depths of the peach blossom forest. The twisted and deformed bodies of various tortured creatures and people on the ground were increasing.

"Hush! Be quiet! I think I heard something!" Li Huowang's words made the chanting of the monk stop.

He lay on the ground, his ear pressed against the ground, listening attentively. "This is... the sound of breathing?"

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..." The rhythmic sound of exhalation entered Li Huowang's ears through the ground.

Li Huowang immediately tightened his grip on the sword hilt and slowly approached the direction of the sound.

As the sound grew louder, Li Huowang broke off a branch and what he saw made his eyes tremble.

Not far away on the open ground, there was a large pile of flesh and blood mixed with bones and internal organs, like a small lake collapsed on the ground.

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..." With the sound of breathing, the pile of flesh and blood expanded and contracted. Strands of red fell from the sky and penetrated into the gaps of the flesh and blood.

Li Huowang followed the red color upwards and only then did he realize that the red color was actually the sunset in the sky. This thing was actually eating the sunset in the sky.

"Is this the Lingnie?" Just as Li Huowang thought to himself, a mouse ran out of the pile of flesh and blood and started gnawing on a dried-up corpse in the distance.

Suddenly, the pile of flesh and blood started to tremble. They quickly gathered together and miraculously reassembled into a huge deer-like creature.

This deer-like creature had six legs and a pair of giant plum blossom antlers on its head, resembling two peach trees. Its fur was like a decaying rainbow, dim but colorful.

As for why Li Huowang could determine that this was a female deer, it was because there was a dead fawn dragging under its belly. It seemed to be frozen at the moment of difficult childbirth.

"Zhuge brother, what is the Lingnie parasitizing on?" Li Huowang asked in a low voice as he looked at the distant giant deer.

"Yingzhao, ordinary people prefer to call it the Nine-Colored Deer."

Nine-Colored Deer? Li Huowang looked at the decaying rainbow fur on the deer's body.

Suddenly, the Lingnie in the distance moved. With a blur, it flew towards the corpse where the mouse was, not stepping on it with one foot as it could have, but instead using its plum blossom-shaped hoof to step on the mouse's tail, and then using another hoof to rub against the mouse's hind leg.

The mouse screamed in pain, but the Nine-Colored Deer did not stop. It raised its head and let out a howl, a sound filled with pleasure.

When the mouse's limbs were completely crushed, the Nine-Colored Deer pressed one hoof on its chest and slowly pressed down.

It wasn't until the mouse vomited all its internal organs onto the ground that the Nine-Colored Deer was satisfied and turned back into a pile of flesh and blood.

Li Huowang furrowed his brows and swallowed hard. In a low voice, he said, "Zhuge brother, is this thing driven insane? Or does it just enjoy killing?"

"The Lingnie, the heavens are merciless to all living beings. Its birth itself is a mistake." Zhuge Yuan seemed to recall something and his face became even more unpleasant than before.

"Then, Zhuge brother, what's the trick with this Nine-Colored Deer?" Regardless of what it was, Li Huowang was already prepared to take action.

"It eats the sunset and uses the sunset. Keep an eye on its body. The rays of light come from there.""Hmm." Li Huowang's body arched slightly like a hunting leopard, his cheeks clenched tightly.

The distant Lingnei seemed to sense something. Some bones and flesh were pieced together into a deer, looking around the peach grove.

Suddenly, a red Mahjong tile tumbled in the air, landing steadily on a peach tree. Just as the Lingnei turned its head to look in that direction, Li Huowang burst out from behind the peach tree. The copper coin sword in his hand, like a long whip, was fiercely swung at it.

With a crisp "pop", the flesh hit by the copper coin sword quickly emitted black smoke, wilting like a flower.

Although it was effective, it seemed that this sword, capable of slaying evil spirits, did not kill the opponent with one blow.

The ambushed Lingnei let out a shriek. This time, it did not reassemble into a deer shape, but like a large wave of flesh, it covered Li Huowang.

Although it wrapped Li Huowang entirely with flesh in an instant, Li Huowang's body passed through the flesh unscathed. This was merely a phantom switched out.

"Kill!" The iron-cutting purple tassel sword fiercely slashed on this nine-colored deer, directly opening a large wound.

Seeing the quickly healing flesh, Zhuge Yuan offered advice from the side.

"Brother Li, this won't work. This mortal body is merely its shell. You need to find the Lingnei inside to be effective!"

Just then, a red glow shot from the nine-colored deer. Li Huowang blocked it with his sword, refracting it in the air and knocking down a large area of the peach grove.

"What does the Lingnei look like!" Li Huowang quickly retreated, creating distance from the opponent.

"You can't see it. Living people carrying the ten emotions and eight sufferings can't see what it really looks like."

"If I can't see it, then I won't look!"

Li Huowang's expression turned fierce. He immediately took off his red Taoist robe, pulled out the fire sickle, and slashed it across his body.
