Chapter 169 - Made It
This sudden situation caused everyone present to be caught off guard.
Dan Yangzi, who had now regained his freedom, did not hesitate. He immediately stepped onto the dark clouds and pounced toward the three people in the distance, looking like a ferocious tiger descending down a mountain.
Meanwhile, Li Huowang just remained standing on the spot, watching everything happening in the distance as though it was all just a play. When he saw Yi Wan staring at him in disbelief, he suddenly slapped his head in frustration with both hands. “Oh no, look at what I’ve done! How could I let Dan Yangzi escape so easily? I’m quite inexperienced, so please forgive me, Senior.”
“You actually dare to deceive me!” shouted Yi Wan.
Hearing these words, Li Huowang chuckled, “Now I can somewhat understand why you guys from the Sitting Oblivion Dao like to do this. It’s really quite fun to deceive others, hahaha!”
No matter what the others thought, the situation was now spiraling out of control.
Just as one of the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao had their head sliced into half by Dan Yangzi’s sword, three figures representing the Gods of Happiness burrowed out from within the smooth walls of the cave.
The three masses were sticky and chaotic, and semi-transparent, resembling a bunch of rotten grapes.
The moment they appeared, the onlookers from Ao Jing Sect were no longer able to escape. Everyone present started rolling on the ground as they burst out laughing, their laughter growing more and more terrifying. Eventually, blood started to flow out of their seven orifices, leading them to their deaths.
After the newly emerged figures had gotten used to their surroundings, they locked onto their targets and flew straight toward Dan Yangzi and Li Huowang.
At the same time, with the addition of another faction, the battlefield once more became chaotic.
However, Li Huowang couldn’t be bothered to move, as he watched Dan Yangzi dismember yet another one of the members from the Sitting Oblivion Dao. With that, he felt that he had achieved what he had wanted, and it was time for things to come to an end.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped him from above—Li Huowang had been enveloped by one of the figures of the God of Happiness.
As the layers of the God of Happiness’ body brushed past Li Huowang, he suddenly felt like many things had been taken from him.
The emotions in his heart, his will to die, as well as a trace of reluctance. A great portion of these things had been taken from him.
At that moment, a splattering sound rang out, and some lifeless worms helplessly fell out from inside Li Huowang’s chest.
Li Huowang sluggishly looked down at the dead worms. He understood that the duration of the Five Elements Intercalation was almost over.
At the same time, a chattering sound came from above his head; one of the God of Happiness’ figures was about to attack again, an attack that would likely spell his doom.
But Li Huowang did not plan to hide anymore. Without those worms, and with his internal organs gone, he was destined to die sooner or later.
But it was alright as well, since, at this point, Dan Yangzi’s plan to take over his body had completely failed.
“Ah, I’m exhausted. I can finally rest,” muttered Li Huowang, his robes fluttering in the wind as he closed his eyes and waited for his end.
“Get lost!”
At that moment, a thunderous sound rang out, causing Li Huowang to look up in confusion. There, he saw Dan Yangzi’s figure, still covered with his peculiar flesh.
He was shrouded within the dark clouds and firmly holding off the God of Happiness; he had actually managed to save Li Huowang this time.
As he saw this, Li Huowang scratched at his chest, causing some more dead worms to slip out and onto the ground. At this point, his missing sense of pain was gradually starting to return.
“Why try to save me? Do you think I won’t die just because you saved me?” Li Huowang said as he stood on the spot and watched the scene above him unfold.
At this point, given that he could see the other two Gods of Happiness swim over as well, it was likely that Dan Yangzi wouldn’t have a good ending either.
Before his death, Li Huowang stood on the spot, planning to watch Dan Yangzi suffer. However, he suddenly thought of something, and turned to look toward the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.
There, he saw bodies scattered all over the ground—all of them except for one was dead.
At this moment, one of the members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao was clutching at his stomach as he stumbled out of the cave.
“Damn! One of them got away!” muttered Li Huowang.
Letting the member of Sitting Oblivion Dao escape alive was even more unbearable for Li Huowang than death itself.
Just a moment ago, he had been ready to die. But now, it seemed like he suddenly saw a ray of hope as he dashed toward the last member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.
From the looks of it, that person had been injured during his battle with Dan Yangzi, and was not able to move fast.
On the other hand, Li Huowang was not particularly fast either; after all, his sense of pain had started to return. Every step he took at this moment was excruciatingly painful, almost as though countless needles were piercing him. His body was slowly collapsing.
One chased, while the other hurried away. Then, the member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao suddenly turned a corner, and vanished from Li Huowang’s field of vision just like that.
With his sword in hand, Li Huowang dragged his collapsing body around the corner, only to be stunned by what lay before him.
It turned out to be a dead end. At this moment, some women were hiding here, huddled together while holding their children, as they trembled in fear.
These people were likely the family members of the Ao Jing Sect’s disciples, and were hiding here to seek refuge.
That member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao seemed to have changed his appearance before hiding among them.
After a moment, Li Huowang bent his aching back before staggering toward them, the sharp sword tip scraping against the ground and causing a piercing friction noise.
To the women hiding here, this noise seemed like a death knell, causing them to cry out in terror.
For a moment, Li Huowang looked through these people as he tried to search for the member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao hiding among them.
However, this was no easy feat, since there were far too many people here.
Sploosh~
At that moment, Li Huowang’s left hand crumbled and fell to the ground, turning into a broken red bamboo slip.
There’s not much time left for me to find the bastard! Since he won’t come out, then I’ll just kill them all!
As Li Huowang’s thought reached this point, he gritted his teeth and raised the blade in his hand toward the elderly, women and children.
“Hold on! Taoist, what are you doing?! They are innocent! They haven’t done anything wrong!” shouted the Monk from his hallucination as he suddenly tried to persuade him.
Upon hearing this, Li Huowang’s eyes showed some hesitation, but then he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and swung it down forcefully.
In an instant, blood splashed, and screams filled the air. At the same time, Li Huowang’s robes were stained with an even deeper shade of red.
Witnessing this horrifying scene, Monk cried out. He started jumping around frantically as he tried to go over and stop all this, but couldn’t touch Li Huowang at all.
Amidst the bloodbath, one of the women’s bodies suddenly twisted, and her face quickly morphed into a new one as she tried to use the chaos to escape.
However, just as she had taken a few steps, some worms flew out from the blood on the ground and entered her body.
She fell to the ground and started howling in agony, while something started to slowly prop up her flesh.
As her struggling ceased, some spluttering sounds rang out as distorted red bamboo slips burrowed out from her face like a screw.
With this, the final member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao had died—all six of the Sitting Oblivion Dao members who had deceived Li Huowang were now dead.
Monk furiously watched as Li Huowang stopped his massacre, and then tore off the cloth from his sleeve before throwing it on the ground. Then, he pointed at Li Huowang with trembling fingers and shouted, “Taoist! It seems that I’ve misjudged you! We’re no longer related! The Li Huowang I knew would never have done such a thing!”
Hearing this, Li Huowang, who was almost completely exhausted, slowly looked up slowly at him; it was as if he was coming to a slow realization. He lowered his head to look at his own battered body, his expression suddenly becoming ecstatic as he shouted, “That’s right! Li Huowang would definitely not have done something like this. But I, Dan Yangzi, definitely would! Hahaha! I’ve made it!”
