Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 519 - Eldest Princess

Clang, clang, clang!

Li Huowang swung his spine sword to deflect the three fingernails flying toward him.

That attack confirmed his suspicions. The figure before him was from the Ao Jing Sect.

“I thought you guys never meddled with society and single-mindedly chased after the most exquisite pain? Why are you meddling here?” Li Huowang asked.

The black-veiled figure chuckled. Then, he knelt on the ground and took out a clay statue of the Ao Jing Sect’s deity before placing it close to his chest.

“You took the words out of my mouth. Why are you even here? As for myself, I’m just here to return a favor.”

Boom!

An intense heat wave burst out of the black-veiled figure, and it made Li Huowang’s veil flutter. Moments later, a burning man was standing before Li Huowang.

Li Huowang frowned. His opponent was indeed from the Ao Jing Sect, and he was quite strong, too.

Even though the Ao Jing Sect’s techniques came with extreme downsides, they granted the users immense power. The techniques of the Ao Jing Sect were so powerful that it propelled them into becoming one of the strongest sects in te world.

“Scram!” Li Huowang roared, swinging the spine sword and sending out a rift in spacetime toward the burning man.

The man knew that he had to avoid that attack. He propelled himself into the air using his flames. Then, he opened his mouth and breathed fire toward Li Huowang.

Li Huowang cut the flames apart using the spine sword and sent them to the Qi Kingdom. Moments later, Li Huowang finally caught a glimpse of his opponent.

The person on fire was humanoid, but Li Huowang was certain that a normal person didn't have two heads. It wasn’t a Nascent Soul of the Luo Sect; they were just normal heads. The flames had scorched the two heads, but Li Huowang could still make out how the dents in the heads. The heads looked like winter melons that had been stomped on.

Li Huowang’s opponent even had four arms and three legs. The humanoid figure before him seemed like he was made out of multiple people that had been sewn together!

I can’t waste my time with this bastard! I can kill him, but I'll fail in my mission if the eldest princess manages to survive! Li Huowang stared at the eldest princess being carried away by an old eunuch.

Several ideas popped up in Li Huowang's mind as he looked around the burning temple. Eventually, he settled on one idea.

Li Huowang turned left and ran inside one of the burning buildings. The burning man from the Ao Jing Sect chased after him.

“Black smoke covers the skies! Hang low upon the heavens! Gang Bo Ba Nie Li! Gu Da Lu Ying Hua! Mi Duo Luo Tian Cheng!”

The clay statue in the burning man's hands had become red from the high temperatures, but he didn't hesitate to shove it inside of him through his navel.

In an instant, one of the golden Buddha statues melted. The gold plating melted and became like a tidal wave that swept across the burning building to block Li Huowang’s escape route.

Everything burned brightly, and even the air itself took on an orange hue from the extreme temperatures. Li Huowang’s veil was reduced to ashes as well.

The burning wave of gold was about to seal Li Huowang by covering him in gold when something unexpected happened.

There was no one beneath the veil. Instead of a person, a skinned dog covered in black tentacles was there.

“Shit!” Zu Yi[1], the Ao Jing Sect member who had been trying to stop Li Huowang, realized that he had been tricked. He ran out of the building along with the blazing molten gold.

The fire followed Zu Yi, and the building stopped burning. Li Sui was left all alone in the middle of the charred building.

“Strange. Why is it not happening as Dad had told me?”

Li Sui took out the human-skin doll from its belly to examine it before stuffing it back. He then ran like a bloodhound to chase after Zu Yi and Li Huowang.

Li Huowang chased after the eldest princess by jumping from roof to roof while in his invisible state. He was fast approaching her.

Faster! I need to be faster! Li Huowang’s killing intent grew deeper. Just as he felt a wave of heat flying toward him, he swung his sword at the eldest princess.

Li Huowang saw the spacetime rift leading to the Qi Kingdom getting closer and closer to the eldest princess when the latter abruptly twisted herself in a bizarre way. She kicked herself off the old eunuch’s shoulder and dodged Li Huowang’s attack.

A long ribbon flowed out from her sleeves, and she hovered in mid-air.

Li Huowang suddenly felt like he was staring at a gorgeous goddess that had descended on the mortal world.

Li Huowang was unfamiliar with that technique, but he knew that the eldest princess still had more cards up her sleeves.

Clearly, she had been hiding her cards by acting like she was weak. It turned out that she was more than capable of fending off an assassin!

Swoosh!

A wave of flames seared off the scabs on Li Huowang’s back.

The eldest princess and Zu Yi flanked Li Huowang. The next moment, numerous bodyguards appeared and surrounded Li Huowang. The hunter was now the hunted.

“Who sent you here?”

The eldest princess stood at the top of a gazebo and looked down at him with pride. Her translucent ribbons floated around her like snakes.

Li Huowang said nothing. He steeled himself for a bloody fight. He knew something like this would happen, as those involved in the succession war were all experts who had numerous cards up their sleeves.

“I will not punish you even though you’ve killed my mother. I will double your reward as long as you work for me.”

The eldest princess’s voice was cold, much to the irritation of Li Huowang.

“No need. I am poor, but I am loyal! I will never betray my Lord!”

Li Huowang immediately charged in the direction with the least amount of people.

“Zu Yi, don’t destroy his soul. I want to know his master's identity.”

“Understood.” Zu Yi was still shrouded in fire when he chased after Li Huowang.

Li Huowang reached one of the buildings when a shadow appeared and pounced on him.

“Dad, I didn’t use the doll!” Li Sui’s tentacles sprouted out from his body again.

“Great! I can use it now!”

When the guards shrouded in killing intent surrounded him again with their weapons in hand, Li Huowang thrust his fingers into his own chest and tore it open, exposing his organs.
