Chapter 718 - Bring It On

She threw the dolls away. “Are you Li Huowang? Let me ask you again. Will you really not join us?”

Li Huowang didn’t bother answering her. Several tentacles slammed the ground and propelled him forward as he raised his sword.

Li Huowang was about to cut down the woman when the animal ornaments on the roof ridge came to life and tried to bite Li Huowang.

Li Sui’s tentacles burst forth from his abdomen and bound all of the ornaments. Li Huowang didn’t even need to use his energy to take care of the things below him.

His sword was now less than three inches away from the lady’s head.

Pa!

The doll’s head suddenly flew upwards as if it had grown wings, revealing the middle-aged woman beneath it.

The woman stared at Li Huowang blankly when he was about to kill her. They locked gazes, and Li Huowang suddenly felt a chill in his spine.

He didn’t know who she was, but he was certain she was dangerous.

Li Huowang then realized what was happening.

She’s a Muddled One!

It was a trap!

“Close your eyes!” Li Huowang shouted, and the woman complied.

Li Huowang stared at the woman and used his cultivation. Her eyelids rapidly merged with her face, giving her no chance to open eyes once more.

“Hahaha!” The doll’s head rolling on the ground laughed. “Li Huowang, do you think that it’s over? We’ve prepared so many traps for you today! You will die here!”

Bam!

A horse hoof slammed downwards and crushed the doll’s head.

“Bring it on then! Show me everything!” Peng Longteng swung her halberd and hollered.

While Peng Longteng taunted them, Li Huowang realized he was in danger and didn’t dare risk it. He immediately ran towards the place where the city wall had fallen.

There was no reason not to run now that they had declared they had a trap for him.

Li Huowang jumped from roof to roof as he escaped.

But then he saw something unexpected. A Lama in black clothes was sitting on one of the roofs with his back facing towards Li Huowang. The Lama also had a black cloth on his shoulder.

A Lama?

Just as Li Huowang realized this, the Lama took out a prayer wheel and started spinning it, chanting in a strange language.

As the wheel spun faster, Li Huowang felt it was pulling him towards it. He lost control of his eyes as they gradually looked towards the spinning wheel.

It’s the Lama from the Antrabhara Temple! What’s the Siming of Death doing? Is it working for both sides?!

Li Huowang swung his spine sword and sent a rift towards the Lama.

The tiles split apart as the rift shot forward. A strong wind suddenly surged downwards as numerous white shadows flew down. Every time they brushed past Li Huowang’s body, they left laceration wounds so deep that they revealed Li Huowang’s bones.

When one of the white shadows swooped down again, Li Huowang whipped his bronze coin sword around, cutting the white shadows in the process.

But Li Huowang was caught off-guard when the bronze coin sword easily cut through the white shadows. They were surprisingly fragile.

As he whipped the bronze coin sword ferociously, numerous white shadows were cut into pieces of paper.

Li Huowang finally realized who was ambushing him upon seeing two scholars blocking him from the front and back. The scholars had three arms instead of two.

But it was clear they were not the only ones. Li Huowang quickly glanced around and saw people from different sects that had joined the Dharma Sect.

He was completely surrounded.

Someone stepped forward, and Li Huowang immediately recognized who it was. The familiar face with a white towel on his forehead belonged to Taishan Shi, a devotee of the Dharma Sect in the Qi Kingdom.

Li Huowang tried to delay them as he looked around for an opportunity. “I was curious as to why there were no news about you. It seems that you had escaped to this place.”

He was completely surrounded and had no choice but to break through the encirclement with brute force.

“Do you really think you can stop me with so few people?” Li Huowang said slowly.

“Stop lying. The only reason you managed to escape the Earth Dragon’s stomach was the Cang-Qiang Ascension. You are alone today, and you will die.”

Taishan Shi raised his chin and everyone launched themselves toward Li Huowang.

Bam!

Peng Longteng fell from the sky with her war horse and crushed two people beneath her. She then charged forward into the crowd.

“Fire!” Li Huowang sacrificed his skin and was quickly engulfed by flames.

But the pain was not enough. Ba-Hui needed more.

Li Huowang’s flesh burst open like fish scales, and the fire slithered inside.

Sensing that something was wrong, Li Huowang immediately spat Li Sui out.

His blood was being burned by the fire as it boiled. Li Huowang had never felt pain this severe before. He burned, both inside and out.

And thanks to the price he paid, the fire on his body intensified many times over.

“Ba-Hui, you fucking bitch!” Li Huowang cursed at the sky before he charged toward Taishan Shi with his burning body.

Li Huowang was both the fuel and the flames. Everything around him burned up regardless of whether they were flammable or not. The very air distorted from the intense heat.

“Charge!” Peng Longteng charged into the fire.

Her armor, halberd, and even her war horse were covered in the very same flames from Li Huowang’s body.

This was the most excited she had ever been since becoming Li Huowang’s illusion.

“Bring it on!”

Peng Longteng stabbed her halberd backward and hooked Li Huowang’s body. She swung it forcefully and launched the burning Li Huowang like a catapult towards the crowd!
