Chapter 198: Move

As it charged toward Li Huowang, the massive horse crushed the corpses of the civilians under its feet.

At the last moment, Li Huowang rolled out of the way and raised his sword, but Peng Longteng’s halberd was already being swung toward his face, the wind from the downward slash blowing his hair backward.

Li Huowang dared not use his sword to block such a powerful attack head-on; even if the sword did not break, his bones definitely would.

However, even as Li Huowang dodged, she easily redirected her halberd and stabbed it straight toward him.

At that moment, a massive man suddenly charged in from the side—it was none other than Gao Zhijian!

As soon as he charged in, he swung his mace against the halberd.

Dang!

Gao Zhijian managed to knock the halberd slightly off course.

However, immediately after, she managed to easily hook the halberd back, causing Gao Zhijian to be sent flying away.

Ding ding ding~!

At that moment, the Wandering Gods appeared and charged toward Peng Longteng. But just as they were about to touch her, the Wandering Gods’ bodies twisted and missed her completely!

The Wandering Gods dared not touch Peng Longteng who was cloaked in dense killing intent!

As Li Huowang scanned his surroundings, he saw that Gao Zhijian’s right arm had been wounded quite badly, to the point that even his bones were showing and he was bleeding profusely.

“I will hold her off, so all of you run now! She only wants me!” shouted Li Huowang.

However, not one of them followed this instruction, choosing to firmly stand right behind him.

At that moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out once again and Peng Longteng stood still. She observed everything that was happening and smiled sadistically. “Brat, looks like they are all very important to you. How about fighting me one-on-one? If you win against me, then I will let all of you go. How about it?”

Without even waiting for his reply, the general pulled on the reins as she once again charged forward.

Seeing Peng Longteng charge toward him, Li Huowang rolled toward the left.

I need to get her down the horse!

As he thought up to this point, he narrowly avoided the halberd and swung his sword toward the horse’s hind leg.

However at that moment, he felt a strange gaze coming from the horse’s body.

Almost as if the horse had already expected his actions, it dodged his attack and delivered a powerful kick, sending Li Huowang flying and crashing into a small house.

As she saw Li Huowang crawl out of the debris, Peng Longteng chuckled. “Not bad for a spy from Si Qi. Looks like you are able to take on some of my attacks.”

Li Huowang just spat out a few mouthfuls of blood as he glared at her.

This general was too strong. If he wanted to survive, then he was going to need to pull out all the stops.

As soon as he made up his mind, Li Huowang unfurled the Profound Records and placed his left arm on it. Then, he took out a dagger and immediately cut his wrist.

As she saw what was happening, Peng Longteng slightly raised her chin.

At that moment, a dark shadow shot toward Li Huowang's face.

On the other hand, Li Huowang leapt up from the horse, grabbed the Profound Records before running toward the horse carriage.

“RUN! RUN WHILE THEY ARE STILL CONFUSED! HER SKULL WAS TOO THICK AND I COULDN’T STAB DEEP ENOUGH!” shouted Li Huowang.

Hearing this, Chun Xiaoman rang the bronze bell as hard as she could.

In response, numerous Wandering Gods flew out and slaughtered the soldiers blocking them. The soldiers' morale was quite low after they saw their General falling off her horse, causing them to no longer be able to put up a good fight.

Soon, with the help of the Wandering Gods, Li Huowang and the rest managed to escape.

But they did not stop. They were afraid that the soldiers would catch up to them.

They ran until they reached a fork in the road. At this point they quickly grabbed whatever was necessary before running down the smaller path. At the same time, they directed the horse carriage to run down the main path instead, hoping to use the marks left behind by the horses and the carriage wheels to confuse the soldiers.

They continued to run until some of them could run no more. It was only then that Li Huowang allowed them rest near the base of a mountain.

There were several large boulders at the base of the mountain that were suitable for them to hide themselves.

Only after calming down did Li Huowang realize just how much of a miracle it was for them to have been able to escape.

What just happened? Why did the general only attack the left side of my body? Is there something on my left?

Li Huowang turned to his left but didn’t see anything besides a boulder.

“Senior Li, where are you?” asked Bai Lingmiao.

When he saw that she couldn’t find him, Li Huowang panicked a bit.

Are her eyes alright? How can she not see me here?

He stood up and walked toward her.

Just as he was walking toward her, everyone shouted in shock and took a few steps back.

He looked at what all of them were staring at and once again turned to his left.

This time, he finally saw it. He saw a figure in a red Daoist robe, and half a head.

The man was split in half, one part stuck inside the boulder while the other was outside.

Li Huowang instinctively grabbed his sword and slowly retreated.

However, the figure did the same thing as Li Huowang as well. As soon as Li Huowang took three steps back, the man did the same and exited from the boulder.

At that moment, Li Huowang finally realized who it was after looking at the robes and the bag of torture tools.

It was himself!

After a moment, Li Huowang looked down and saw that his body was invisible. There was nothing there.

It was as if he had turned into a floating camera!

Li Huowang raised his head and stared at his ‘body double’. The ‘body double’ mimicked what he did.

“Good Heavens, it’s moving...”
