Chapter 175: Crazy

Chapter 175: Crazy

“Stop! You will also die with me!”

As they got closer and closer to the Bodhisattva, Dan Yangzi’s voice was filled with fear for the first time in forever.

However, Li Huowang just grew excited! “Who the heck cares?! The life of a disciple is nothing compared to helping his Master achieve Immortality!”

Between the force of Li Huowang’s push and the slight tug of the gentle breeze, all of Dan Yangzi’s struggles were rendered useless as they slowly approached the open Ox Tail Gate.

As they got closer, the pale white light coming from behind the Bodhisattva enveloped both of them.

At that moment, all of Dan Yangzi’s feathers started transforming into a white shawl similar to the one on the Bodhisattva's body. Dan Yangzi’s body, regardless of whether it was the wriggling flesh or his organs, died the moment they were enveloped by the white shawl.

As Dan Yangzi felt his body slowly dying, his survival instincts kicked in. He refused to die just like this. “Huowang! You don’t have to do this! Your physical body can still be used! We just need to go back down and then you can go! After that, I will leave you alone and we won't meet each other ever again!”

While Li Huowang ignored Dan Yangzi’s word, one of the bandit-like illusions spoke out, “Young man, don’t listen to him! He has never spoken the truth! He’s still thinking about how to get rid of you!”

Just as Dan Yangzi glared at the illusion, a portion of the white shawl enveloped one of his heads causing it to die.

When Dan Yangzi’s other head witnessed this, he was extremely shocked. Immediately, he threw aside his dignity and started pleading with Li Huowang, “Huowang! You’ve won! Please, let’s just run away! Otherwise, both of us will die and who knows what kind of fate awaits us after that! We might even suffer from a fate worse than death! Please! I am even willing to kowtow to you and call you Master! Just let me go!”

At that moment, the white shawl covered Li Huowang’s eyes, but he was still smiling happily. “That won’t do, Master. You promised me that we will become Immortals together.”

Just as he finished saying that, Dan Yangzi’s body was completely covered by the white shawl and brought into the Ox Tail Gate.

The moment they passed through the gate, Dan Yangzi’s body was separated from Li Huowang’s head.

Staring at Li Huowang’s translucent head, Dan Yangzi barely managed to say something before his body popped like a bubble.

At that moment, Dan Yangzi, who had tormented Li Huowang for so long, disappeared just like that. His death was swift and quiet.

In the spot where Dan Yangzi had died, numerous different colored types of energy spread out before floating into the depths of the gate.

Li Huowang recognized what that was and yet he couldn’t find words to accurately describe it. If he tried, the only thing he would be able to come up with was that it was the energy representing desire, greed, persistence, hate, and killing intent.

While Li Huowang did not die like Dan Yangzi, his current condition wasn’t much better.

At that moment, the massive Bodhisattva used one of her rotting skeletal hands to reach out for Li Huowang.

“AAAAAAAAAH! HIS BODY IS MOVING!” Puppy cried out and fell onto the ground.

On the other hand, Bai Lingmiao reacted immediately. The walls surrounding her heart crumbled away as she started crying while clawing at the dirt, trying to remove as much of it as she could.

After a moment, the others reacted as well, and moved to help her.

However, before they even finished digging away the dirt, Li Huowang suddenly appeared from within the grave, wearing his graveclothes.

He held his head with a twisted expression, his face twitching as he mumbled something, causing most of them to be scared away.

“Senior Li!”

Bai Lingmiao ran over to him tearfully, but was caught by him.

As he looked at Bai Lingmiao, his eyes were bloodshot. “Alive! You are alive! This world is alive!”

At that moment, Chun Xiaoman sighed in relief and sheathed his sword. “That’s good; looks like he’s alive. His body did not just reanimate by itself.”

On the other hand, as she faced Li Huowang who was behaving strangely, Bai Lingmiao did not feel afraid. Instead, she was concerned. “Senior Li, what’s wrong?”

“Listen to me! I know what’s wrong with this world!” Li Huowang’s shout dampened all the noises around him. “This world is alive! That means that anything that could happen to a human could happen to the entire world as well! I’m not the crazy one! This world is crazy! IT’S TRULY LUNATIC!”

As he spoke, Li Huowang pushed Bai Lingmiao away before pointing one of his fingers toward the Heavens and the other toward his chest as he tried his best to reassure himself as much as he could. “THE ENTIRE WORLD IS CRAZY, IT’S EVEN CRAZIER THAN ME!”

After repeating those words tens of times, his body finally gave way and he crashed onto the ground.
