Chapter 994 - Creep

In the turbulent Baiyu Capital, Li Huowang observed the skies consumed by Fu Shengtian.

The iridescent darkness contracted and expanded. Every time it did, it grew stronger.

Fu Shengtian was attacking Baiyu Capital. A chill ran down Li Huowang’s spine as a heavy pressure settled over his chest.

Fu Shengtian had never stopped attacking. Whether striking head-on or launching ambushes, the assault was relentless.

“We need to act now!”

Li Huowang looked down to find nothing beneath him. The secret that had leaked out had disappeared.

The Three Ancient Ones had escaped by distracting Li Huowang with Fu Shengtian. That was why he had lured Li Huowang here.

“Three Ancient Ones, I will find you one day!”

LI Huowang roared and ran towards the sky with his bloody blade.

“Nana, help me!”

Yang Na nodded and raised her gun to shoot the skies.

Gunshots rang out, but the sound of thunder soon replaced it as heavy rain fell down from the skies, drenching everyone.

The rain battered Li Huowang, blurring his vision and making him uncomfortable.

The rain pummeled everyone’s umbrellas. They ran outside and saw two couples going crazy.

Zhao Shuangdian was busy typing on her laptop and calculating something. Her typing noise resonated with the sound of the rain.

Yang Na approached them anxiously and asked, “Who still has more bullets? Give me some! I ran out of them!”

She asked again and again, but no one replied. “Hurry up! Huowang is fighting against Fu Shengtian alone! I need to go help him!”

Yang Na used her hand to shield her eyes as she glared at the dark clouds above her with animosity.

The sound of typing suddenly stopped. Zhao Shuangdian grabbed two loaded magazines from the back of Ba Shengqing and gave them to Yang Na without hesitation.

Zhao Shuangdian’s actions surprised everyone. Ba Nanxu stared in disbelief. “Did their insanity rub off on you?”

Zhao Shuangdian nodded. “Why not? His model fits mine. I trust him.”

Ba Nanxu gaped in shock but said nothing. When she realized Zhao Shuangdian wasn’t joking, she chuckled, taking out her own gun and firing it at the skies.

“Fine. If you want to die, I’ll bury you. Now what? Should I return as the Siming of Pain and use the Heavenly Dao of Pain to strike down Fu Shengtian’s Simings? To make them die from pain?”

Zhao Shuangdian stared at the equations on her laptop before shaking her head. “We cannot follow their plans. They have theirs, and we will follow ours.

“For now, we cannot influence the Baiyu Capital. Just leave it to Li Huowang here. Go and start our cars. Since they are here, that means that they have a gathering point. We just need to find it and infiltrate it.”

Three off-road vehicles emerged from the muddy path, and everyone entered them. With a cigarette still in hand, Ba Nanxu rolled down the windows and shouted, “Hang in there, Huowang! We’re going to the Baiyu Capital to help you!”

Li Huowang wiped his face with his sleeves. “Hurry up! They’ve already absorbed a large portion of Baiyu Capital! I don’t know if they still have any hidden aces!”

Ba Nanxu nodded and stepped on the gas pedal. The vehicle roared to life and drove on the muddy path.

However, nobody noticed the arrival of Yi Donglai. He stood in the rain without moving, his lips tightly pursed. He still had the pocket watch in his hands.

Li Huowang sighed when he heard the engines disappearing. This time, he wasn’t alone.

“Three Ancient Ones! Show them the path, or you won’t have a Baiyu Capital to live in!”

Li Huowang didn’t care if Qing Wanglai heard him or not. All he could do right now was to stab his blade numerous times into the dark skies. As he did, the black liquid poured out, engulfing Li Huowang.

The black liquid was capable of causing growth on most surfaces. Thankfully, the Dragon Qi on Li Huowang’s body protected him, making the black liquid simply slick off his face.

Li Huowang continued to attack without worrying about his own safety.

After some time, he realized that it wasn’t working. It was too slow. In the face of the black liquid, he was powerless.

Li Huowang wiped the water off his face. “No, this isn’t working. I need to find another way to stop it!”

Li Huowang swiftly made a decision and sprinted towards the left. He increased his speed with his cultivation.

In just a few minutes, he reached the border between the Baiyu Capital and the black liquid. Li Huowang saw that Fu Shengtian was still growing and assimilating more of the Baiyu Capital.

In just a few minutes, he reached the border where the black liquid continued its relentless assimilation of the Baiyu Capital.

Li Huowang knew he was out of time. Without hesitation, he used his blade to sever a section of the Baiyu Capital, isolating it from the encroaching menace.

Since he couldn’t do anything to the liquid, he would rather cut off a part of the Baiyu Capital.

He saw that the black liquid did not continue to spread beyond the place he had separated. Relief surged through him—his method had worked.

But then, an ominous hissing arose from the depths of the black liquid. An overwhelming wave of uneasiness washed over Li Huowang.

The hissing sound was far from simple, with multiple overlapping noises. It gradually became louder, reaching a point where Li Huowang could hear nothing but a deafening roar.

Yi Donglai’s voice suddenly broke past the loud noise. “Li Huowang, there’s thunder and lightning! Throw the knife away, or you will get electrocuted!”
