Chapter 165 - Have Not Won
With an ashen expression, he took out the pastries that he had brought up the mountain and arranged them as offerings before her grave.
Abbess Jingxin had died, along with the “decay” of this world.
From here on, anything and everything made of flesh and blood would no longer decay or disintegrate; any dead person would remain in the same state that they were in at the time of their death.
Abbess Jingxin’s death was definitely related to this. Previously, whenever the nuns used their supernatural abilities, they seemed to be connected to “decay”.
The disappearance of “decay” seemed to be the true cause of Abbess Jingxin’s and the others’ deaths.
No matter the time, “decay” was always repulsive, and yet it was something unavoidable.
In a world where “decay” vanished, there would be a huge amount of problems.
If corpses did not decay, the cycle of life would be broken, and corpses would start accumulating in the world.
However at this point, Li Huowang couldn’t be bothered with pondering over what was going on; he himself was about to be a goner.
The Abbess was dead, and there would be nobody else like her that would help him deal with the matter of Dan Yangzi.
There was no one else he could turn to now; he was nearly out of time.
At this point, he had turned completely illiterate, which foreshadowed that he was on the verge of being completely assimilated by Dan Yangzi.
If he did not want Dan Yangzi to succeed in his schemes, then there was only one path he could take.
“Abbess, wait for me at the Bridge of Helplessness. I will come down to join you guys shortly!” said Li Huowang. Then, he kowtowed three times toward the grave before dispiritedly looking toward the rat mountain.
Abbess had previously told him that he could prevent Dan Yangzi from taking over him by being nibbled to death by those rats.
He did not want Dan Yangzi to come back to life, even if that meant that he himself would have to die!
However, when Li Huowang arrived before that black tower again, he was stunned by the black objects that littered the ground.
He walked across and lifted the black objects, slowly prying them open with his fingernails. Cockroaches and flies fell out from in between his fingers, and floated down like black-colored snowflakes.
With the death of the nuns, these flies and cockroaches had followed suit. After all, they were the lowest level of decomposers.
Li Huowang suddenly stood up. His breathing quickened as he dashed toward the black tower.
However, what he saw was a shocking scene. The black rats inside had similarly died, and those dead rats were the same as the others—they showed no signs of decay or foul odor.
“Damn!” Enraged, Li Huowang smashed his fist onto those dead rats, causing their innards to be squeezed out from their mouths and flying everywhere.
“What immoral deeds did I do in my past life?! Why can’t I even die when I want to?!”
“Hehehe... Child...” A low laughter rang beside Li Huowang.
When Li Huowang looked up, he saw that it belonged to Dan Yangzi’s three terrifying faces.
“What did I tell you? At this point, whatever you do is in vain. You can still help me if you turn back now,” said Dan Yangzi.
“Do you think you’ve won?” Li Huowang stood up, his eyes filled with boundless hatred. “As long as this body still belongs to me, you have not won yet!”
Li Huowang suddenly stood up and rushed toward the mountain gate of Benevolent Nunnery before running down the mountain as though in a frenzy.
Once he got down, he collided with Yang Xiaohai, who had two pieces of fried sweet potato in his mouth.
Seeing Li Huowang, Yang Xiaohai said ingratiatingly, “Senior Li, you’ve returned? Have you finished your matters on the mountain? Shall we go back together?”
However, Li Huowang completely ignored his flattery, and continued to dash onto the road. He glanced around and directly seized the horse of a scholar nearby before climbing onto it.
With bloodshot eyes, he quickly turned the horse around, and then jabbed a sharp screwdriver onto the horse’s butt. The horse neighed and screamed in pain before dashing toward the direction of the Ao Jing Sect.
“My horse!! That’s my horse!!” The scholar cried and chased, but Li Huowang soon vanished from his field of vision.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaohai panicked. Still holding the oily paper bag, he hurried back toward the inn. “Seniors! Senior Li is having an episode again!”
The mountain range where the Ao Jing Sect resided was over 200 miles away from the Benevolent Nunnery that was located on Henghua Mountain, and thus it required some time to traverse this distance when traveling via carriages.
However, with Li Huowang constantly using his torture instruments to stimulate the horse, they got there within just two days.
Once they returned to the ghost town, the horse finally could not continue any further. It started frothing at the mouth and fell onto the ground, its behind mangled from the repeated stabbing.
Li Huowang passed through the graves he had dug for the residents of the ghost town, and dashed up toward the mountain cave.
By now, it was already his third day without any sleep, and without anything to eat or drink. His current expression looked very bad.
However, Li Huowang had already cast aside all his worries about life and death. He just wanted Dan Yangzi dead! He was willing to do whatever it took, as long as he achieved his objective.
When Li Huowang returned, a few large-robed Ao Jing Sect disciples immediately blocked him without hesitation. “Shou San has orders, you—”
However, before they could even finish, a cold glint flashed through the air, and two heads fell to the ground simultaneously. Their eyes were filled with disbelief; they had never thought that the other party would attack first.
Covered in blood, Li Huowang dashed into the cave and shouted, “Sitting Oblivion Dao! Come out now!”
His voice reverberated within the cave, attracting everyone’s attention.
Soon after, Li Huowang was completely surrounded.
But it did not matter to him, since he did not plan to leave this place alive.
At that moment, Shou San stepped out from within the crowd, his body wreathed in flames. “You can’t be reasoned with. Do you really think that we won’t do anything to you?”
Meanwhile, as those words were uttered, Li Huowang looked toward the five elders that stepped out. Seeing the five people from the Sitting Oblivion Dao who were in disguise, he started chuckling, “Come, show me the strength of your Sitting Oblivion Dao!”
After saying this, Li Huowang raised his sword and sliced it across his own neck.
Beside him, Dan Yangzi was filled with anger as black clouds gradually enveloped his terrifying body before he lunged directly at Li Huowang.
However, Li Huowang did not care as he felt his blood pour out along with his life.
Splash~
At that moment, the Profound Records were unfurled onto the ground, and Li Huowang stood directly on it.
After a moment, the blood that flowed down his neck and down his clothes completely soaked the Profound Records.
