Mutated Tao

Li Huowang snapped back to reality and stared dumbstruck at the three figures. The next moment, blood surged to his brain, and he roared, “This is all your fault, you bastards!”

Clang!

Li Huowang gripped his sword with one hand and kicked off of the roof tiles to rush toward the three Sitting Oblivion Dao members with their backs facing him.

A whistling noise echoed from behind them, and the Sitting Oblivion Dao member that Li Huowng had chosen to attack dodged to his left by dividing his body into two, narrowly avoiding the attack.

He looked at Li Huowang in astonishment with his head upside-down. “Boss Hong Zhong, stop fooling around, will you?! They're not going to believe you anymore. Hurry up and leave! We’ll cover you!”

The illusion Hong Zhong approached Li Huowang as well, and he sounded serious as he said, “He’s right. This isn't the time for fooling around. It’s more important for you to retreat.”

“Yeah, right!” Li Huowang slashed out. The sharp sword streaked across the bloodied face of the Sitting Oblivion Dao member, which had no visible skin on it. However, nothing strange happened.

Just then, the members of the Surveillance Bureau finally caught up. A purple-robed Daoist took out two fist-sized triangular banners and inserted them into his neck. Then, his mouth fluttered open as he chanted an incantation.

He also drew a massive Bagua array in the air with his fingers. A wave of transparent ripple would spread outward every time the purple-robed Daoist's fingers stroked the air.

The purple-robed Daoist slapped the array on the roof tiles and exclaimed, “Raise your heads and witness! Bow down and listen! Above are the upper trigrams; below are the lower trigrams! The Three Pure Ones have vested me with authority to execute orders!”

Immediately afterward, loud cracking noises erupted as the tiles and the beams of the house where everyone was standing broke apart. Moments later, everyone fell down the house and landed on the ground.

A huge inky black Five Elements Bagua appeared beneath everyone, trapping the three Sitting Oblivion Dao members and Li Huowang. The masked members of the Surveillance Bureau appeared and stood around the array, staring at them vigilantly.

A Sitting Oblivion Dao member gnashed his teeth. He stomped and rushed toward Li Huowang. “Boss Hong Zhong! Leave quickly!”

Swoosh!

Li Huowang lifted his sword and severed his hands. Under the dumbstruck gaze of the Sitting Oblivion Dao member, a black tentacle wrapped around Li Huowang's bronze coin sword and chopped off his head.

The remaining two members landed right next to Li Huowang before they could do anything else. The Five Elements Bagua array sprang into action, rising like a net and trapping them inside of it.

Li Huowang was furious upon realizing that the Surveillance Bureau had trapped him along with the Sitting Oblivion Dao members. He couldn't help but chide them inwardly for being so incompetent.

“What the hell are you doing?! I said I’m not a Sitting Oblivion Dao member!” Li Huowang roared. He used his left fingernail and tore open his entire face by the chin.

Unfortunately, the Surveillance Bureau didn't believe Li Huowang's action to establish his innocence. Instead, the disturbed Surveillance Bureau members attacked Li Huowang with renewed vigor.

The purple-robed Daoist reached behind him and pulled out a yellow banner from his neck. Then, he hurled the yellow banner at Li Huowang. The pole grew longer in the air, and it moved as agilely as a snake as it pierced the three Sitting Oblivion Dao Members, stringing them together as if it were a skewer

A Surveillance Bureau member gestured, and several dark green talismans flew over and landed on the foreheads of the Sitting Oblivion Dao members, immobilizing them completely.

The seven members of the Surveillance Bureau relaxed at the sight. The Sitting Oblivion Dao members had finally been suppressed.

A hunchbacked Surveillance Bureau member holding a banner was about to speak, but the meatballs that had been strung together abruptly stirred.

“How many times must I repeat myself?! I’m not from the Sitting Oblivion Dao!” Li Huowang roared.

Under their astonished gazes, black and sticky tentacles burrowed out from Li Huowang and lifted them up. A breeze lifted the talisman on Li Huowang’s forehead, revealing a bloodthirsty gaze underneath.

“Kill!” A surge of hot blood rushed from Li Huowang to Li Sui’s tentacles, and Li Sui's tentacles swelled significantly in an instant. The meatball was raised up high, and it swept toward the Surveillance Bureau members.

The Surveillance Bureau members ran to retreat, but Li Sui shattered Li Huowang's rips and thrust them into the latter's lungs.

The Surveillance Bureau members clutched their chests, revealing agonized looks along with Li Huowang. Just as they were recovering from the excruciating pain, Li Sui flew toward the temples of two Surveillance Bureau members.

The purple-robed Daoist died instantly, and the Bagua on the ground dimmed.

Li Huowang could move once again. Li Huowang ignored the two people who had been strung up with him. He tore off the talisman on his forehead and glared murderously at the Surveillance Bureau members. He silently endured the intense pain and rushed toward them.

“How many times do I have to repeat myself?! I’m not from the damned Sitting Oblivion Dao!”

They weren't Li Huowang's match even without the Bagua, so without the Bagua, Li Huowang made quick work of the Surveillance Bureau members. Of course, Li Sui had contributed massively to that as well along with the Sitting Oblivion Dao members.

The hunchbacked Surveillance Bureau member staggered backward as the white banner in his hand split into a thousand pieces.

“A-All right! I believe you! You’re not from the Sitting Oblivion Dao!” the hunchbacked Surveillance Bureau member exclaimed.

There was a flash of white light, and a sword pierced the hunchback's mouth. The sword emerged from his nape and pinned him to the wall behind him.

Li Huowang stared at the desperate eyes of the hunchback. He gripped the sword tightly and put all of his strength into the sword hilt before tearing open a hole in the wall. The hunchback’s eyes glazed over, and he collapsed powerlessly to the ground while holding the hilt of Li Huowang's sword.

The Surveillance Bureau members had been annihilated by Li Huowang.

“Boss Hong Zhong is so powerful!”

“Of course, he would be powerful! Otherwise, why are we calling him 'Boss Hong Zhong,' while we're mere pawns?"

Li Huowang ignored the cheers behind him and pulled out his sword from the hunchback’s mouth. Then, he sheathed the sword behind him. Afterward, he grabbed the banner sticking out of him and pulled it out slowly.

The remaining two Sitting Oblivion Dao members finally regained their freedom, and they took turns complimenting Li Huowang.

However, Li Huowang drew his sword once again and pointed it at them.

“Where is the Strayed One Bei Feng?!”
