Chapter 338 - Sitting Oblivion Dao
Jiang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as Li Huowang’s black-tassel sword blocked Hong Da’s rusted blade.
The rusted blade cracked and shattered, but a shrapnel still magically flew toward Li Huowang’s face.
However, faced with this deadly attack, Li Huowang had no intention of guarding against it. He twisted his sword, choosing to cut off Hong Da’s head at the expense of getting injured himself.
But at that moment, a strong wind came from Li Huowang’s side. It was Xin Chi. He raised his right leg and stepped on Li Huowang.
At that moment, a dark shadow twisted out from within Li Huowang’s Daoist robe and grabbed the bronze coin sword before stabbing it at Xin Chi’s feet.
It was one of Li Sui’s tentacles. He was helping Li Huowang take care of the surprise attacks.
Li Sui and Li Huowang worked in tandem, allowing them to fight against two people at the same time. However, given that there were three opponents, they were just not enough.
A dull explosion rang out as Li Huowang spat out blood and flew into the debris, sending out a plume of dust. At this point, Li Huowang’s face was stabbed full of shrapnel.
Even though he felt like his organs had rearranged themselves, Li Huowang stood up. When he did, he saw that he was surrounded once more.
Suddenly, Tuoba Danqing, who had attacked him just now, warned everyone. “Don’t attack his back. It seems that he has armor there. His body was tough.”
Li Huowang swallowed his blood and roared at Tuoba Danqing, “Senior Tuoba, you saw the tentacles on my body just now! Ask yourself, can the Sitting Oblivion Dao copy my techniques?!”
Tuoba Danqing glanced at the black tentacle that was holding the bronze coin sword, his eyes filled with a hint of hesitation. But in the end, he decided to not believe Li Huowang. “Hong Da, lend me a blade.”
Hearing this, Hong Da opened his clothes and chose the longest blade from his collection.
At this point, it was clear that they did not trust Li Huowang, and so there was no point in trying to talk any further.
“No need to explain it to them! Kill them all! Kill! Kill! Kill!” At that moment, a domineering woman’s voice exploded in Li Huowang’s mind.
At the same time, a surge of anger flooded into his mind as Li Huowang stood his ground, ready to fight against Tuoba Danqing.
If he wanted to survive, he needed to break through their formation, and Tuoba Danqing, without his weapon, was clearly the weakest link!
Xin Chi wanted to help Tuoba Danqing by fighting against Li Huowang first, but Li Huowang was one step faster than him. Li Huowang directly cut open his mouth, removing half of his teeth in the process. Then, from his open cheek, everyone saw Li Huowang's exposed mouth and the bloody wound.
Li Huowang took a deep breath before spitting out, sending his bloodied teeth flying out of the wound as they shot toward Xin Chi.
After making Xin Chi retreat, Li Huowang raised his black-tassel sword and charged at Tuoba Danqing. At the same time, Li Sui raised the bronze coin sword as well.
As he saw the sword stabbing toward him, Tuoba Danqing quickly used his arms to block, causing his sleeves to be torn open by the sword and reveal a pair of wristbands made from red-colored walnuts.
As Li Huowang’s sword stabbed into the walnuts, the sound of metal grinding rang out.
Unexpectedly, the wristbands made of red-colored walnuts managed to block Li Huowang’s sword, its edges wedged between them. It was most definitely an artifact!
At that moment, the walnuts shivered as if there was something hiding within them. At the same time, several venomous gazes trained on Li Huowang’s head.
“Don’t get close to him! He’s raising several Gus![1]” At that moment, Hong Zhong, who had originally been invisible for some time, suddenly appeared and warned Li Huowang of the danger.
At the critical moment, Li Huowang suddenly shouted at Li Sui. “Li Sui, now!”
Immediately the black tentacle holding the bronze coin sword stabbed toward Tuoba Danqing’s chest.
Ding!
However, the bronze coin sword stopped right at Tuoba Danqing’s chest, unable to pierce any further.
As Tuoba Danqing’s shirt was torn off, a golden longevity lock was revealed on his chest[2].
At that moment, Li Huowang’s sharp hearing also picked up Xin Chi’s footsteps that were approaching him from behind at the same time.
“Haha, how’s this, Sitting Oblivion Dao? Didn’t expect this right?” gloated Tuoba Danqing.
As he stared at the man’s gloating face, Li Huowang suddenly opened his mouth and spat the two teeth that he had intentionally kept hidden in his mouth.
The teeth exploded, smashing half of Tuoba Danqing’s face in.
“AAAAAA!”
Li Huowang kicked Tuoba Danqing’s chest, finally allowing him to escape their formation.
However, just as he sighed in relief and was about to escape the collapsed temple, he ran into a familiar face.
It was another Li Huowang.
Looking at each other’s faces, both Li Huowangs looked surprised.
“Er Jiu! Kill him! That’s a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao!” At that moment, Xin Chi’s voice rang out in the fake Li Huowang’s mind.
Hearing that, the fake Li Huowang revealed an expression of disgust and unsheathed the bronze coin sword on his back before running toward the real Li Huowang. “Sitting Oblivion Dao! You dare disguise yourself as me! Die!”
With this, Li Huowang was once again trapped and surrounded.
At that moment, Xin Chi ran up to the real Li Huowang before using his massive legs to step on him.
Surprisingly, the real Li Huowang just phased through his legs.
Xin Chi was caught unaware as he watched Li Huowang sink into the ground.
However, that had just been an illusion. The real Li Huowang had long since turned invisible and hidden himself away.
After escaping the encirclement, Li Huowang was currently hiding atop one of the roofs as he looked at the four people standing on the ground.
“Damn! That fellow from the Sitting Oblivion Dao knows how to travel through the ground!” said the fake Li Huowang in frustration.
Just then, XIn Chi approached the fake Li Huowang carefully and then used his telepathy to warn the other two. “Careful, this man is a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”
However, without waiting for the two of them to react, the fake Li Huowang showed off a surprised expression, his eyes growing wide. “Master Xin Chi, what is the meaning of this? If I’m from the Sitting Oblivion Dao, then doesn’t that mean that the person from just now had been real? Since he had been real, then why were you framing him? Do you want to kill both the fake and the real Li Huowang? Just because I challenged your authority once? Are you that petty? Can you really tell the real person apart from a fake or were you perhaps mistaken once again?”
As he spoke, the fake Li Huowang retreated away from Xin Chi.
At this point, even Tuoba Danqing and Hong Da stopped as they looked at Xin Chi.
On the other hand, not knowing how to explain the situation, Xin Chi started panicking.
Meanwhile, as Li Huowang looked at the situation down below, he started chuckling. He had never thought that his enemy, the Sitting Oblivion Dao, would end up helping him like this.
1. A Gu is a venom-based poison associated with cultures of south China, particularly Nanyue The traditional preparation of gu poison involves sealing several venomous creatures (e.g., centipede, snake, scorpion) inside a closed container, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor, whose body would be fed upon by larvae until consumed. The last surviving larva held the complex poison. ?
2. A pendant in the shape of a lock. The lock shape itself symbolizes an actual security lock, embodying the parents' wish for its wearer to be "locked" to the earth or "locked to life", to ward away death. ?
