Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 240 - Lion Dance Palace

When everyone heard Li Huowang’s command, all of them brandished their weapons and moved at the same time, running directly toward the light.

As they ran toward the exit, Li Huowang did his best to listen to his surroundings. Now that Han Fu had disappeared into the darkness, they were surrounded with danger. He could ambush them at any time!

Since the two headed Daoist knew his identity, there was no way that he would let them go!

A friend had become an enemy just like that. He once again realized that humans were always worse when compared to evil beings!

There’s no such thing as a good person here in this crazy world! Everyone is twisted and no better than livestock!

As they closed in on the light, it dispelled the darkness around them. Everyone was happy to be basked in the light. They did their best to reach the outside and ran even faster.

But they slowly stopped, going from a full blown run to a slow jog to just regular walking before stopping completely. At the same time, they stared in despair at the “sunlight”.

The light in front of them was impure. There were even many stains on it resembling hands and feet. An extremely large jade plaque sat above the light with three big characters etched onto it: Lion Dance Palace.

What they had been running toward was not the sun! Instead, it was the headquarters of the Lion Dances, the Lion Dance Palace!

The massive lump of light was formed by numerous Lion Dances gathering together and amplifying their light!

Han Fu had lied! He had never wanted to bring them outside even before this!

Hearing the sudden movements, the huge faces of the Lion Dances turned to face Li Huowang and blocked the light. They stood in rows until all Li Huowang and the others could see were rows and rows of flattened dead human faces.

All of them were staring at Li Huowang with their lantern-like eyes. The pressure they gave off was immense.

It wasn’t just one or two Lion Dances here, but hundreds of them!

Li Huowang had killed two of them before, and so he knew just how strong they were.

“Run!” Li Huowang shouted and brought everyone back into the darkness.

Then, Li Huowang turned around, glaring at the Lion Dances that existed in all directions, from the floor to the ceiling. He knew that someone had to intercept all of them here while the others retreated.

At that moment, Li Huowang decided to stand his ground as he swung his sword toward his body.

But suddenly, someone burst forth from within the darkness below and stopped Li Huowang. He held a bronze coin sword that had three yellow talismans attached to it. The sword was aiming precisely for Li Huowang’s waist!

Jiang!

The talismans burst into flames and the two swords clashed.

The owner of the sword was none other than Han Fu!

However, Han Fu didn’t want to fight Li Huowang openly. After clashing once, Han Fu’s two heads smiled as he returned back to the darkness of the ground.

Without waiting to understand what was happening, Li Huowang instinctively ducked down upon sensing a dangerous attack. He barely managed to avoid the white tassels that one of the Lion Dances had shot toward him.

Han Fu had never wanted to fight against Li Huowang openly! He only needed to interfere with Li Huowang and allow the Lion Dances to kill Li Huowang instead!

Now, his goal has been achieved when Li Huowang saw that the Lion Dances were very close to him. All of them opened their mouths to reveal six rows of sharp teeth.

Li Huowang’s legs hadn’t been healed yet. Thus, in terms of speed, he was quite a bit slower than the Lion Dances.

After a moment, Li Huowang looked back into the darkness and saw that everyone else was gone. He decided to make his last stand here and brought out the flint before placing it against his body.

However, before he could light himself up on fire, a familiar drum sound rang out and a person in red ran on all four toward him. Then, a beast head appeared from underneath the red veil, bit onto Li Huowang’s neck, and dragged him into the darkness.

Bai Lingmiao’s body was very agile when she was in this form. She never slowed down even while carrying Li Huowang. With her help, they gradually outrun the Lion Dances.

The Lion Dances tried to stop them by shooting out the white tassels but all of them were destroyed by Li Huowang sacrificing his teeth. However, thanks to that, Li Huowang soon ran out of teeth.

He was just out of harm’s way when a new danger appeared. As Li Huowang was being dragged across the ground, a bronze coin sword appeared from within the ground and aimed for his back.

Just as Li Huowang was about to be stabbed by it, he suddenly turned around and stabbed his own sword into the ground. Upon feeling the peculiar feeling he felt when he did so, he knew that he had managed to stab Han Fu. “You think you can use the same trick twice?”

As he spoke, Li Huowang stabbed the ground once more and blood appeared on his sword. At the same time, a painful grunt could be heard coming from within the ground.

But Han Fu did not stop this time. Suddenly he once again stabbed his bronze coin sword above ground, this time with numerous talismans and blood covering his sword.

Just as Li Huowang raised his sword to block the attack, he suddenly heard Han Fu start chanting something!

Soon, the chant was completed and the entire bronze coin sword exploded, turning into individual bronze coins that dodged Li Huowang’s sword before regrouping once more into the original sword with talismans on it. Then, the sharp bronze coin sword stabbed the talismans into Li Huowang’s waist, embedding them deep into his body.

The intense pain made Li Huowang howl loudly, but he chose not to run away. Instead, he started stabbing again and again into the ground—he was attacking recklessly in hopes of being able to kill Han Fu!

As Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao were retreating, his and Han Fu’s blood started intertwining.

Soon, Han Fu could no longer withstand the attacks and had to bring his sword back underground.

On the other hand, after they finally managed to defeat Han Fu, Bai Lingmiao continued to drag Li Huowang through the cave while running as fast as she could. She could not stop for even a moment; after all, the Lion Dances were right behind them.

Compared to Han Fu, they were much deadlier!
