Chapter 518 - Kill

The old eunuch heard their answers and nodded. “Is that so? Wait here. I will report to the Empress Dowager first.”

With that, he opened the door slightly and entered the room.

After some time, he brought out two handsome monks from inside the room. “Carry him in. The Empress Dowager is waiting.”

“Dad, what are they doing?”

Li Sui’s question stumped Li Huowang.

How shameless are they to do something so devious beneath the gaze of the Bodhisattva? Do they not hold any respect toward it in their hearts?

Li Huowang didn't respond to Li Sui's question and slowly made his way into the room. He crawled through the rafters, and his eyes twitched when he saw the "fiery" scene in the room. It was even more "intense" than what he saw in the Righteous Monastery.

Li Huowang thought that the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess were feeling guilty for their actions that had spurred the princes into killing each other, but it seemed that he was mistaken.

He took one look around the room and decided it was time to act. He jumped from the roof towards the large bed in the center of the room.

To prevent the empress dowager, who was buried under a group of people, from escaping, Li Huowang crushed his left eyeball without hesitation.

A strange light covered the bed, and everyone on it suddenly found themselves unable to move.

Li Huowang swung the spine sword downward. The spacetime rift leading to the Qi Kingdom was about to tear the Empress Dowager in half when the entire bed suddenly moved left, avoiding the attack.

Realizing that his chances of success were becoming increasingly thin, Li Huowang attacked relentlessly. He opened his mouth and spat his molars toward the Empress Dowager.

A humanoid shadow appeared to block the attack. She used a white ribbon to block the molars but failed to notice that Li Huowang had sent another attack behind the molars. Li Huowang's severed arm pierced the bodyguard’s abdomen and plunged into the Empress Dowager’s chest.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager’s eyes were becoming dull, Li Huowang immediately ran toward the exit. “We have to go and kill the eldest princess!”

Li Sui’s tentacles burst forth from Li Huowang’s stump and grabbed the severed arm before connecting the two once again. “Dad, you almost forgot your arm.”

Li Huowang reached the exit and saw that the eldest princess’s door was already open; there was a horde of guards standing by to stop him. The guards, eunuchs, and consorts surrounded the eldest princess as she made a break for it.

Li Huowang never thought that they would choose to run immediately rather than confront him head-on.

“Scarm!” Li Huowang swung his spine sword toward the guards. Li Sui mimicked his movement using the bronze coin sword.

To protect the eldest princess, the guards and the eunuchs ran fearlessly toward Li Huowang, but they were immediately cut in half.

Li Huowang was getting closer to the eldest princess when the clear toiling of bells echoed in the air. A petite escort wearing a transparent veil was dancing as she made her way toward Li Huowang.

The bells on her arms and feet emitted a hypnotic tune; strands of gold burst out of her hair and wriggled in mid-air.

Li Huowang fell into a daze. When he looked at the escort again, a strange surge of emotions came from the bottom of his heart. All of his love for Bai Lingmiao and Yang Na was suddenly concentrated on the escort.

The escort approached Li Huowang and danced as the golden strands from her hair thrust into Li Huowang.

Li Huowang was being penetrated, but he felt no pain. Instead, he was ecstatic. He felt like the golden strands were Bai Lingmiao and Yang Na's hands, and he felt like they were caressing him.

The escort pried open her veil and pursed her lips to kiss him. The golden strands dug even deeper into Li Huowang as the escort's lips approached him. Li Huowang didn’t notice the pill at the base of the escort’s tongue.

Just then, several tentacles with hooks burst out of Li Huowang’s mouth and tore off the escort's face in a single brutal swing.

The escort cried out in pain as the tentacles dragged her face into Li Huowang’s throat. Li Huowang woke up from his stupor and stabbed his legs to wake up.

The intense pain cleared his mind, and he cut down the escort before chasing the eldest princess.

I've never seen that technique before! That was dangerous!

Li Huowang raised his guard up and prepared himself for unexpected attacks.

If it hadn't been for Li Sui, the eldest princess would have escaped successfully under the lead of her powerful bodyguards.

He saw two old eunuchs holding flying guillotines standing in his way. Li Huowang knew that he couldn't afford to waste his time dealing with these obstacles.

“Li Sui, ribs!” Li Huowang exclaimed after having made up his mind. Li Sui immediately broke Li Huowang's lowermost ribs and handed them to him through his belly button.

Li Huowang stabbed his ribs into his abdomen, and the eunuchs cried out in pain before collapsing to the ground.

Four black tentacles burst out of Li Huowang and sent him forward. Li Huowang then ran on the rooftops, chasing after the escaping eldest princess.

More and more guards collapsed to the ground from the extreme pain as Li Huowang stabbed himself using his ribs. Meanwhil,e he was getting closer and closer to the princess.

Upon seeing that he was close enough, he pulled out the blunted ribs from his abdomen and exclaimed, “This isn't enough pain! Li Sui! Skin!”

Li Sui’s exposed tentacles stuck themselves to Li Huowang. Then, the hooks on the tentacles latched onto his scars and scabs.

When Li Huowang stabbed himself with his ribs once again, Li Sui instantly skinned Li Huowang.

“

AAAAAAAH!

” The terrible pain almost made Li Huowang collapse, but it was worth it. Everyone, including the eldest princess, fell to the ground and cried out in extreme agony. They had been incapacitated.

Li Huowang let go of his ribs and wielded his spine sword to deliver the killing blow. Before he could do so, however, someone wearing a black veil stood before him.

The black veil revealed nothing but a single outstretched arm. Li Huowang's heart sank when he saw the layers of scars on the arm as well as the blood seeping out from beneath the veil.

He’s must be from the Ao Jing Sect! Ordinary people can't possibly stand up after being subjected to such intense pain!
