Chapter 354 - Appear
Li Huowang threw the rusted blade onto the ground and used his own sword to poke at it. He was confused by the sudden appearance of the rusted blade.
Is this the power of the Muddled One? Is she using her power?
Li Huowang stared at the rusted blade carefully while slowly retreating to where everyone else was.
“Junior Er, is everything alright?” Tuoba Danqing looked at the anxious Li Huowang.
“I don\'t know why I suddenly had a rusted blade in my hands,” explained Li Huowang.
“But the karmic obstacles of the Muddled One are used to hide objects. How could it give you something?”
Li Huowang checked his entire body and shook his head when he found nothing. He then looked at Shen Tugang who was currently beating his drum.
“May the God of Venus command his army, and order them to stand in a row of fifty-five thousand. They shall wear black armor and hold the black flag. Those in shiny armor are the rookies. Don’t call them to join the war or I will chase them away myself!”
As Shen Tugang continued to beat his drum, the atmosphere around them slowly shifted. Something condensed and then disappeared within the mist.
Looking at how Shen Tugang was sure of victory, Li Huowang did nothing and waited for them to chase out the Muddled One.
He would rather sit back and not interrupt them.
The sound of the drumbeats, walnuts clacking, and the abacus never stopped.
Just then, Shen Tugang suddenly shouted, “The Muddled One we are facing is an old one! She made one of us disappear! Erniu, stop conserving your strength and go all out!”
Hearing those words, Ji Xiang forcefully smacked his golden abacus.
Immediately, Li Huowang saw his surroundings start shimmering.
When Li Huowang looked at his sword, he suddenly saw it multiply. Sometimes there were two and sometimes there were three. The concept of ‘numbers’ around them seemed to have been affected and rendered useless. One could be five and could be nine at the same time.
Just then, Shen Tugang used all six of his hands to beat the drum forcefully. Rather than sounding like a chant, his voice was now a bellow. “A rainbow cloud descends upon us! I summon all of the Immortals of the Southern Palace! I call for the Eight Immortals and Eight Barbarians to take their post, protect the Eight Gates and Eight Doors!”
In response, dark clouds above the heavens descended and stopped just above their heads. Something seemed to be moving within the dark clouds.
Just then, Li Huowang saw a figure appearing from a distance away. Her body seemed to be shimmering as she phased in and out of reality from time to time. She was wearing a blue robe and black markings covered her face. Her trousers were also caked in mud.
“Er Jiu! She’s the Muddled One! Attack now!”
The moment Ji Xiang shouted, Li Huowang cut off half of his sixteen fingers. Then, while the Muddled One was busy with his fingers, Li Huowang tore off a large chunk of his flesh and skin before throwing it at the Muddled One.
However, when Li Huowang turned around, he saw his finger bullets and flesh net slowly disappear under the Muddled One’s power.
He had to do something!
Li Huowang looked down at the feet of the Muddled One and whipped his bronze coin sword toward it.
When she saw that she wouldn’t be able to dodge it, a beggar suddenly appeared beside the Muddled One. before being used as a meat shield to block the bronze coin sword.
It was Hong Da who had previously disappeared! He had now been unhidden by the Muddled One!
The sound of metal screeching rang out as the bronze coins impacted Hong Da’s body and shot out sparks.
Li Huowang was mad when he saw his attacks being blocked so many times and instantly used his own sword to slice open his abdomen.
“You motherfucker, do you think you can hide all the time? Let’s see how you hide this!” shouted Li Huowang as he stabbed both of his arms into his abdomen and forcefully tore out two of his rib bones. He then stabbed his rib bones into his own torso.
At that moment, Li Huowang took a deep breath from the shock of the pain, while the Muddled One also cried out as both of them fell to the ground at the same time.
Despite the pain, Li Huowang laughed maniacally. His sense of pain was currently being shared with the Muddled One. With her being crippled, it would now be much easier to capture her.
At this point, Li Huowang used a pike to rip one of his fingernails, using the impact to shoot himself upward.
The Muddled One’s entire body was cramping from the pain. She wanted to attack again, but when she saw Li Huowang about to rip off more of his fingernails, she was finally afraid and ran away.
However, Li Huowang would never let her go. He immediately placed two talismans onto his knees. Veins started bulging throughout his body as he ran toward the Muddled One, leaving behind many afterimages.
As he used various torture methods, the distance between Li Huowang and the Muddled One was slowly getting shorter and shorter.
But when he crashed into a dusty house, the Muddled One once again disappeared.
“What’s happening? Where is she?” Li Huowang refused to give up. He was extremely close!
When he looked back at the rest, Ji Xiang answered his question. “Let us rest first. It’s not easy to force the Muddled One out.”
Ji Xiang’s face was pale and his fingers were trembling. Shen Tugang was equally tired too. Both of them had used up a lot of their powers to force out the Muddled One.
“You’ve already wounded her. One more time and she will no longer be able to run away again. Erniu specifically found people who can counter the Muddled One’s power this time around,” said Shen Tugang.
Compared to their initial meeting, Shen Tugang was now much more friendly with Li Huowang. He wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with Miaomiao\'s Second Deity.
Li Huowang nodded his head. “Fine. Once we catch the Muddled One, we can... Hm? What was I trying to say again?”
As Li Huowang’s anger cooled down, he looked around feeling confused.
It was not a large house, and there were even some sweet potatoes in a corner of the house. There was also a patch of dried grass with an indentation on it. It was clear this place was recently inhabited by someone.
Did someone live here?
As Li Huowang touched the rib bone on his torso, the intense pain made him remember again. “Yes! That’s right! It’s the Muddled One! She’s hiding my memories!”
Realizing this, Li Huowang took out some yellow talisman papers. Just as he was about to write something, he stopped. Then, he recalled her powers and used a small pike to start writing on his left forearm.
He quickly wrote their mission as well as the dangers of facing the Muddled One on his own flesh and then sighed.
“Look, there are writings on the wall!”
Tuoba Danqing’s sudden shout made all of them look at the walls.
