Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 391 - Li Huowang

Li Huowang had no idea what to do as he stared at "Li Huowang" before him. He was afraid of engaging with "Li Huowang" for even the briefest moment, as there was a huge chance that "Li Huowang" would deceive his other abilities away.

Li Huowang reckoned that the only way to deal with "Li Huowang" was the Cang-Qiang Ascension, but he had no time to find extreme mental agony, considering that the enemy was already in front of him.

No, I can’t fight under such uncertain circumstances. I need to retreat and find Zhuge Yuan! Li Huowang thought. Having made up his mind, he decisively severed both of his ears and hurled it at "Li Huowang."

Then, he turned around and ran.

The morning fog that had enveloped the bamboo forest had thinned out. Li Huowang ran with all his might in one direction. Li Huowang gnashed his teeth and used another bone to cast divination while running.

Li Huowang didn't care whether divination would lead him to Zhuge Yuan or not. He also didn't care, even if casting divination meant that he would be snitching on himself, as those two outcomes would help Li Huowang escape!

Li Huowang just had to find Zhuge Yuan.

Zhuge Yuan was strong enough to kill Fa Cai, so Li Huowang was convinced that he would be safe the moment he found Zhuge Yuan.

Just then, a donkey cart appeared before Li Huowang. The donkey was old, but it wasn't having any issues pulling its passengers—a mother and daughter pair.

“Benefactor?” The woman's eyes widened upon seeing the disheveled Li Huowang.

“Someone’s chasing me! Help me hide!” Li Huowang exclaimed, diving into the donkey cart without waiting for her reply.

The woman had no idea what to do, and she was still in the middle of processing Li Huowang's words when "Li Huowang" emerged from the nearby bamboo forest.

“Did you see someone who looked exactly like me?!”

The woman became flustered in the face of "Li Huowang."

However, her daughter lifted her hand and pointed in a random direction.

“How dare he run away!”

"Li Huowang" soon disappeared.

The woman hugged her daughter tightly and peeked into the tarp.

Li Huowang was pressing on his wound, and he sighed in relief upon seeing the mother and daughter pair.

“Thank you for your help. I will remember your kindness,” Li Huowang said. He truly didn't expect that his generosity at the time would end up saving his life.

The woman shook her head and said, “Benefactor, you saved my daughter on the ship, so helping you is the right thing to do. Ah, you're bleeding, sir. You should seek medical attention soon.”

Li Huowang shook his head and took out the Fiery Scripture.

“Forget I'm here. Go ahead and continue down your original route," Li Huowang said.

The woman nodded and covered Li Huowang with the tarp. Then, she held her daughter in a tight embrace and urged the old donkey to walk faster.

Li Huowang proceeded to cauterize his wounds.

After a while, the cart suddenly stopped.

Li Huowang's heart skipped a beat. He peeked out of the trap and saw "Li Huowang," and the latter was holding a cracked skull. Somehow, "Li Huowang" had obtained Li Huowang's divination technique and had used it against the latter!

Li Huowang took a deep breath and jumped down the cart. He stood in front of the donkey cart and shouted at the woman. “Run! The farther, the better!”

The woman glanced at the two Li Huowangs before staring at her terrified daughter.

A flash of determination fleeted across her eyes as she abandoned the donkey cart that she had just purchased and ran into the bamboo forest with her daughter and some of her belongings.

Li Huowang took multiple deep breaths. "Li Huowang" opened his mouth and was about to say something when a peculiar sound echoed. The two Li Huowangs turned to look at where the sound had come from at the same time.

Li Huowang was instantly delighted upon seeing the newcomer—Zhuge Yuan!

Zhuge Yuan was dressed like a scholar and was fanning himself casually while staring with an amused gaze at the two Li Huowangs.

Li Huowang's mouth fluttered open to speak, but "Li Huowang" beat him to the chase, shouting. “Zhuge! I'm Li Huowang, and he’s a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao!”

Li Huowang almost choked at "Li Huowang's" remark.

He didn’t want to say the same thing, so he decided to just stare at Zhuge Yuan.

“Zhuge Yuan, you're strong enough to kill Fa Cai by yourself. Surely, you can see the real member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao between the two of us, right?” Li Huowang said.

Zhuge Yuan nodded and asked, “Did you bring the spindle with a Muddled One’s hair around it?”

“Of course! It’s with me!” Li Huowang opened his abdomen and took out the black spindle. However, he truly had no idea that the black hair around the spindle was a clump of hair from a Muddled One. If Zhuge Yuan hadn't said it himself, Li Huowang would have never known about it.

Li Huowang grinned while staring at "Li Huowang." It seems they have no idea that I've stored something in my abdomen.

Li Huowang put away the spindle and looked at Zhuge Yuan, saying, “Zhuge Yuan, be careful. That guy has the bizarre ability to deceive other people's techniques away for his own use."

“Say no more. I know,” Zhuge Yuan said. He put his fan away and took out a brush from his sleeves.

Li Huowang stared intently at Zhuge Yuan. He wanted to know just how strong Zhuge Yuan was. After all, he managed to kill Fa Cai.

"Li Huowang" took a step back and Li Huowang sneered at the sight. So he’s finally afraid? How dare he imitate me.

Zhuge Yuan nodded at Li Huowang before pointing his brush at Li Huowang’s left leg.

Li Huowang fell to the ground. He could no longer feel his left leg. Li Huowang was shocked, and he couldn't quite believe what was going on.

However, Zhuge Yuan raised the brush once again.

Li Huowang finally realized that Zhuge Yuan had decided to attack him.

“It's not me! That one is the enemy! He's a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao!” Li Huowang shouted, and his voice cracked from fury and bitterness. Zhuge Yuan had just betrayed him, after all.

Zhuge Yuan pointed his brush at Li Huowang, and the latter could no longer feel his lower body.

"You liar!" Li Huowang roared defiantly, "So your kindness has been a lie all this while?! You've actually been working for the Sitting Oblivion Dao all this while?!"

Zhuge Yuan smiled and ignored Li Huowang’s accusation.

He pointed his brush at Li Huowang’s neck.

“No! I can’t die! They're waiting for me! I can’t die here!” Li Huowang roared and squirmed.

Zhuge Yuan decisively drew a circle around Li Huowang's head with his brush. A dull thud echoed as Li Huowang ceased all struggle and collapsed. The black spindle fell out of Li Huowang's clothes, and it rolled slowly toward Zhuge Yuan’s feet.

Zhuge Yuan used a white handkerchief to pick up the bloody spindle before handing it over to "Li Huowang."

"Li Huowang" stuffed the black spindle into his abdomen and approached Li Huowang’s corpse. He whipped out a dagger and peeled off Li Huowang’s face.

"Li Huowang" peeled and peeled until Li Huowang's face was replaced by the bearded bald man, who was the best leaf card player on that passenger ship and had unfortunately met his demise in the depths of the sea.

“Senior Zhuge, I think that Sitting Oblivion Dao member really thought he was me.”
