Chapter 210 - Peng Longteng
Many of the outlaw soldiers fell to Li Huowang’s attack. Realizing that she could no longer afford to ignore Li Huowang, Peng Longteng decided to separate her army. Half of the army continued their attack against Bai Lingmiao and the rest while the other half followed Peng Longteng to attack Li Huowang.
“Huowang?”
Just as Li Huowang was on the verge of collapse, a blurry voice rang out. But, he shook his head, causing the voice to disappear.
Then, Li Huowang raised his head and saw the soldiers that were charging at him. Seeing them, he smiled. “You think I don’t know the soldiers’ combat methods? I call this the ‘torture method’.”
When Peng Longteng was once again in front of him, Li Huowang roared. “Come! We fight one-on-one!”
However, all he got in response was a halberd being swung right at him.
“Brat, you think I can’t defeat you? If it wasn’t for how self-harming this technique was, I would’ve used it before! Roar!” shouted Peng Longteng as she raised her halberd. At the same time, the soldiers around her clashed their weapons with each other.
A horrible screeching sound resonated through the entire area.
But the sound wasn’t coming from the weapons clashing against each other. Instead, it was coming from the soldiers. Their screams were impossibly horrifying and guttural, such that they could strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Accompanying their horrifying screeching was a rain of blood—all of them started to bleed from their seven orifices.
However, the blood evaporated instantly, forming clouds of blood that enveloped all of the soldiers.
Even Peng Longteng was not spared, her blood flowing out from her helmet.
As they continued bleeding, the soldiers soon started shriveling up.
Now, all of them were nothing more than demons shrouded in a red mist, their eyes devoid of all feelings and their only purpose being slaughter.
At that moment, Li Huowang’s sword suddenly reacted to the killing intent being emitted by the soldiers, causing a faint dragon roar to be heard; it was as if the sword was resonating with them.
“ROAAAR!” roared the outlaw soldiers as they thrust their weapons toward Li Huowang.
Seeing this, Li Huowang immediately used his new power and shifted his real body elsewhere.
But the enemy’s plan involved overwhelming Li Huowang with pure strength—they did not even attempt to locate where Li Huowang’s real body was as they started attacking indiscriminately.
At that moment, a single drop of blood fell from Li Huowang’s body and mixed with the bloody fog.
Instantly, all the soldiers turned toward Li Huowang. They had sensed him.
As Li Huowang stared into their eyes, he saw nothing but greed and yearning.
These soldiers have eaten humans before and not just once, but many, many times!
Li Huowang instantly understood.
“Men! It’s time to eat some flesh!!” roared Peng Longteng.
At the same time, the outlaw soldiers howled like hungry ghosts, their saliva dripping down from their mouths as they charged toward Li Huowang without any regard for their lives, instantly turning the situation extremely dangerous for him.
Li Huowang wanted to use the Profound Records but he couldn’t do it anymore! Everytime he tried unfurling the Profound Records, the soldiers would interrupt him.
Gradually, Li Huowang's situation worsened and he almost died a few times.
Just as everything was about to go awry, the sound of a drum was heard.
Dong dong dong~
At the same time, one of the soldiers was thrown down by a red-veiled woman, his head instantly decapitated.
Bai Lingmiao had arrived to help him, finally allowing Li Huowang to have some breathing room.
I can’t use the Profound Records like this! It’s too easy for it to be countered!
After a moment, Li Huowang sheathed his bloody sword and tore open his own skin without any hesitation.
Shou San’s appearance from back then had given him an idea. If he could become like Shou San, then he could use the Profound Records anytime he wished without needing to unfurl it on the ground.
Li Huowang unfurled the Profound Records and directly inserted it into his own flesh. The pain was so unbearable that it instantly caused him to start howling.
Even so, Li Huowang was unable to embed the Profound Records into his flesh.
“Hm?” Noticing that something was off with Li Huowang, Peng Longteng instantly pointed her halberd at him. “Invisible wind, follow the Heavens!”
Just as Peng Longteng shouted those words, the berserking soldiers arranged themselves into a Wind Formation as they charged toward Li Huowang.
On the other hand, as they got closer, Li Huowang’s body suddenly burst into flames. Gradually, Li Huowang’s skin was burnt completely black, his appearance becoming similar to that of the God that the Ao Jing Sect worshiped.
At the same time, the flames on Li Huowang’s body burst forth and engulfed the soldiers. Given that the soldiers were all clumped together, it was quite effective.
However, Peng Longteng charged straight through the flames as she ran toward Li Huowang. Instead of feeling fear, she was excited. “Haha! Brat! Not bad, but I’ve already seen through your illusion. You are dead!”
A massive gust of wind blew Li Huowang’s flames back with every swing of her halberd. As she got closer and closer, Li Huowang finally realized just how tall she was. She was at least two heads taller than him!
JIANG!
As he blocked a swing from her halberd, Li Huowang’s feet instantly sank three inches into the ground.
At the same time, Li Huowang’s flames engulfed Peng Longteng. Despite being armored quite heavily, soon the skin underneath her armor started to burn and swell.
Even so, Peng Longteng was not the slightest bit afraid; instead, she was ecstatic. It was as if her entire existence was meant for slaughter and war!
“Hahahaha! This feels great! Come on! Fight me some more!” shouted Peng Longteng as she knocked Li Huowang away with her halberd. Then, she once again swung it toward Li Huowang.
Engulfed in flames, both of them were locked in a frenzied battle where a single hit from the other would mean death.
As he saw Peng Longteng’s armor slowly starting to glow with a reddish hue, Li Huowang had a daring idea. After a moment of consideration, he charged toward Peng Longteng, lowering his body in the process.
“One more time!” shouted Peng Longteng.
However, this time around Li Huowang did not dodge the halberd that was swinging down from above. Instead, he raised his sword and used it to stab through the gap in her helmet.
He intended to kill her even if it meant that he would be heavily wounded.
Even though he managed to dodge the blade of the halberd, he was still hit by the pole, instantly causing a large cavity to appear on his body. Despite this, his sword managed to find its mark.
Just as he had thought, the heat of the flames had made the helmet much softer than before.
At that moment, Li Huowang’s sword, which was engulfed in flames, stabbed Peng Longteng’s neck in the very same spot he had stabbed her last time. As he roared, a cracking sound was heard. Then, with one last burst of strength, he sent Peng Longteng’s armored head flying into the air.
Then, everything became quiet as the blood fog retreated from the outlaw soldiers. All of them stared at Li Huowang in horror as they immediately disappeared in front of him.
At the same time, the flames engulfing Li Huowang scattered as well.
Li Huowang’s remaining eye had been cooked to the point that it was barely functioning. Still, he looked down and inspected his body.
At this moment, he didn’t have a single inch of skin left on his body. All that remained was a charred mess. In fact, his body had become quite a bit smaller from being burned so much.
Plop.
Without his skin, the Profound Records fell onto the ground.
When Li Huowang suddenly felt his back tingling, he turned around in a daze, only to find a round faced man.
Even though the man was scared of Li Huowang, he still held his dagger with a handkerchief as he used it to stab Li Huowang numerous times.
For a moment, Li Huowang was confused by that man's actions as he stabbed Li Huowang numerous times, leaving countless wounds on Li Huowang’s dried body.
Who is this guy and what is he doing?
As he thought about this, Li Huowang swung his sword and ripped open that man’s stomach.
Cao Hai staggered backward before placing his back against Peng Longteng’s body and sliding down. He stared at her unmoving body that was standing even in death with eyes filled with yearning. “General...”
On the other hand, Li Huowang stood up shakily and staggered back toward where Bai Lingmiao was. Amidst the intense pain, his mind soon started to wander off.
It is so painful. Why am I always getting hurt so much? Is living supposed to be this painful? I don’t feel like living anymore... But... I can’t... I must survive! Mom... It hurts so much... Can you make all this pain go away?
Just as Li Huowang was hobbling back, he suddenly sensed movement behind him.
When he slowly turned around, he saw that the headless Peng Longteng had raised her halberd as she prepared to swing it down toward him!
