Chapter 158: Er Bing

“Look! I’ve forced him to come out! He’s that crazy bastard who joined the Sitting Oblivion Dao! He’s Dan Yangzi, the very same man that used mercury to flay your family before burying them underground! He’s the culprit!” Er Bing pointed at Li Huowang as she shouted in an exaggerated manner.

Upon hearing her words, Li Huowang shouted in anger, “You damn liar!”

Li Huowang was so angry that he almost spat blood.

This damned bastard is lying about me being a part of the Sitting Oblivion Dao!

“That lady is the one from the Sitting Oblivion Dao! She can change her face freely! You guys are being lied to!” shouted Li Huowang.

However, even though Li Huowang told them the truth, none of them listened to him.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

One of the Nuo Opera performers wearing the wooden mask glared at Li Huowang with intense hatred. “Not only have you killed my people, but you even sent that old man to probe us and then even rushed into our house to threaten us! Even with death at hand, you still think you can fool us? Dream on! Don’t you dare think that the Lai household can be bullied by you, Dan Yangzi!”

At the same time, the masked bandit standing beside the Nuo Opera performer got excited as he started shouting, “Ptui! Fucking bastard! How dare you kill my sworn brother?! Just you wait, I will personally torture you once we have captured you!”

Li Huowang wanted to explain himself, but no one listened to him. Soon, under Er Bing’s deception, they all took up their weapons and started charging toward the horse carriages.

Bam!

The horse carriages were pushed a few inches back while the carriages themselves started to crack.

Meanwhile, the scared Lu family huddled together in the center of the circle.

At that moment, a familiar scream rang out, causing Li Huowang to turn around amidst all the chaos.

He saw that a barbed arrow had shot past Bai Lingmiao’s right shoulder, shearing off a chunk of her flesh.

Seeing that Bai Lingmiao was injured, Li Huowang was enraged; it was as if he was the one that got wounded instead. Immediately, he jumped down from the horse carriage.

“How many times must I tell you that you are all being lied to!” shouted Li Huowang. At the same time, cold steel flashed, and both humans and horses fell apart as they screamed in pain; Li Huowang had cut through them effortlessly.

Li Huowang had only recently learned how to use the sword properly and this was a good chance for him to quickly master it; the best method to do so was real combat.

At the same time, a red-veiled woman rushed forward along the beat of a drum, using her beastly jaws to tear through the enemies' throats.

Chun Xiaoman also arrived beside him with her bloodied sword. She panted while fighting off the enemies. “Senior Li! We are here to help you!”

As he saw his comrades, Li Huowang kept away his swords. “Ok! Follow me and chase after that woman. She’s the mastermind who orchestrated all of this!”

After a while, they slowly closed in on Er Bing while fighting off their enemies. All the while, sounds of painful shrieks, cracking bones, and metallic clashes rang out continuously.

Er Bing finally had nowhere else to hide. Forced into a corner, she suddenly started laughing as she ran toward Li Huowang’s group. At the same time, she threw something out from her sleeves.

No one had expected such a situation. Instinctively, Li Huowang blocked with his sword.

At that moment, a metallic die covered in flames flew high up into the air, covered by a faint glow that indicated a spell inscription.

Er Bing made a seal with her palms causing the flaming metal die to start spinning before embedding itself into Gao Zhijian’s temple.

“Simpleton!”

“Gao Zhijian!”

Slowly, Gao Zhijian’s massive body fell to the ground, his eyes growing more and more unfocused.

“Hehe, now this is how it should be. It’s much more fun if someone dies~” Er Bing laughed as she produced two black dominoes from her sleeves.

She held both the dominoes in one hand while using the other hand to perform hand seals. “Seven, eight but not nine~ Make it a poisoned hand if nine~ Golden four, silver five and a stool, supports the Heavens and Earth, meeting fleet fully with four, five, and six~”

As she chanted, the two dominoes became soft and long, slowly seeping through her fingers as they started burrowing into the ground.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened—something Er Bing could never have foreseen.

An arm with two fingers burst forth from the ground, grabbing the two dominoes and stabbing into Er Bing’s abdomen at the same time.

Er Bing spat out blood and raised her head. At that moment, she saw Li Huowang slowly stand up from a kneeling position, his left sleeve looking completely empty and billowing in the wind.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang’s severed arm continued to tighten its grip until it managed to snap Er Bing’s waist.
