Chapter 199: Change

His body was indeed moving, but in a very convoluted way.

When Li Huowang straightened his back, he saw that his body did the same in front of him. Then, he raised his right arm and it once again mimicked his actions.

There was no mistaking that it was his body. Li Huowang looked down again and saw that even though he could feel his body, there was nothing there—it was just that he couldn’t see it.

He touched the coin veil and saw the image of his body doing the same thing in front of him.

It was as if Li Huowang was performing a shadow play and the image of his body was the shadow.Findd new stories at novelhall.compared to knowing what this was, Li Huowang currently was more concerned about how this situation came to be and how he could go back to normal.

Wait, I remember that earlier when I was nailed to the ground, the general had been constantly striking the left side of my body!

Li Huowang recalled how the general kept attacking to the left of his body. That was the only reason he managed to find such a big opening to attack her.

He hadn’t thought about it before, but it seemed that the general had been attacking his illusion.

What is going on? How did I suddenly obtain this superpower? It’s... it’s as if there is a bug in the world... Is this world fake?

Li Huowang felt scared when he thought about the possibility of this world being fake.

As he stared at his illusion, the situation felt more and more surreal.

Soon, his breath became rapid and he quickly hugged his own head. He kept reassuring himself that this world was the real one as he tried to calm himself down.

No! This is the real world! I cannot think otherwise. This must be a special power that belongs to a Strayed One! Yes, that must be it! I’ve been unlucky for so long that I finally got a stroke of good fortune! Li Huowang, stop doubting yourself! This is the real world and the other side is fake!

When Bai Lingmiao saw how Li Huowang looked to be in a lot of pain, she approached the illusion and tried to hug him, only to pass right through.

“I’m alright, I’m alright,” said Li Huowang as he recovered a little and took a few steps back.

However, Lu Zhuangyuan was horrified as he asked in a meek tone of voice, “What do you mean you are alright? We can’t even touch your body. You have become a ghost! Daoist, did you forget about your own death?”

At this point, no one could help Li Huowang; he could only think of a way himself.

After half an hour, Li Huowang finally calmed down.

“I’m not dead, it’s just that my body gained a new ability,” said Li Huowang.

While they were all resting, Li Huowang roughly told them about what had happened just now.

At that moment, Li Huowang heard Luo Juanhua whisper to her husband, causing him to look back and see Lu Juren carry his wife without any objections.

The once prosperous town had now been reduced to a pile of rubble. Some of the houses were still burning, but no one bothered with them. The dead bodies of the civilians were piled up in a small mountain.

On the other hand, the outlaw soldiers were all sitting beside the various fire places they had made, drinking and eating meat.

At that moment, a pale fat man was holding a handkerchief to his nose as he weaved through all the rubble. He accidentally stepped on something slippery and saw it was an entire section of intestines, causing him to let out a scream, “Aiya! Good Heavens!”

Seeing this scene, the other outlaw soldiers all laughed.

“Officer Cao, come and have a taste. We just roasted it,” offered one of the outlaw soldiers without any warning.

“Uwek~” At this point, Cao Hai couldn't stand it any more and started vomiting.

“Relax, it’s pork, not human meat. See, it’s hoof is still on there,” said the soldier who offered the roasted meat.

Cao Hai felt slightly better when he saw there was indeed a hoof attached to the meat. Even so, he carefully declined the pork leg.

“I’m looking for General Peng to discuss something. Have you seen her? I checked the main camp, but she’s not there,” asked Cao Hai.

“If even you don’t know, then how would I know? I was busy taking my share of money and women until just now,” said the soldier.

Just as Cao Hai was thinking about where to look for the general next, someone suddenly extended their hands into his pants.

Startled, Cao Hai took a few steps back and saw that it was a young man. On the other hand, the man was looking at his hand in surprise.

“Aiya~ I think I just felt something over there. Old man Cao, it seems that there’s still a little bit leftover. Were you thinking about extending your bloodline when you left behind some of it?” asked the young man.

Cao Hai ignored his teasing and hurriedly asked, “Hou Wen, you are one of the General’s Small-arms soldiers. You must know where she is, right?”

“Hehehe, do you want to know where she is?” Hou Wen chuckled and gently patted Cao Hai’s butt. However, when Cao Hai retreated in surprise, Hou Wen patted the front instead.

“Haiya, stop teasing me! I’m really looking for the General! This concerns her future!” shouted Cao Hai.

Hearing this, Hou Wen stopped his teasing and pointed toward a house. “The General is currently injured. So, be careful; she’s in a bad mood.”

After confirming the direction, Cao Hai ignored everything else and ran toward the house Hou Wen had pointed out. It was one of the very few houses that still remained intact.

Just to make it clear, he can throw out an illusion of his body and move it anywhere while rendering his real body invisible.
