Mutated Tao

The halberd swung down, but instead of hitting the chicken-feet man, Peng Longteng struck the altar. Stones sprayed everywhere, but the chicken-feet man remained unscathed.

Peng Longteng frowned and kicked her left leg into the horse’s stomach. The horse lifted its left leg and kicked the chicken-feet man, who was now carrying the incense burner.

But the chicken-feet man’s body twisted bizarrely, causing the horse’s kick to miss him. The flesh veil trembled as he moved.

Just then, the chicken-feet man sensed that the rain had stopped. He looked up and saw Peng Longteng was already in front of him with her halberd already swinging down.

He swung his hand and threw the incense burner high up into the air. Just as he was about to attack Peng Longteng, he sensed the air rippling behind him.

It was Li Huowang with his three swords! Li Huowang decided to attack at the same time as Peng Longteng to destroy the ritual as soon as possible.

The two of them had almost hit the chicken-feet man when the flesh veil expanded outwards. A snarling beast's face bit into Peng Longteng’s face.

Just as the beast bit into Peng Longteng’s face, she opened her mouth and bit back. At the same time, she swung her halberd the other way around to attack from the bottom.

The chicken-feet man raised his legs and stepped forcefully on the halberd. The sound of clanking metal exploded! Clank! Clank clank!

Even though the chicken-feet man was kicking down the sharp halberd, his feet were not injured at all. Li Huowang hadn’t expected this. His feet are as strong as metal!

The chicken-feet man utilized his momentum to jump high into the air. He dodged both Peng Longteng and Li Huowang’s attacks before landing safely.

After landing, he extended his arms and caught the incense burner that had been flying in the air. He then continued the ritual as he danced beside the statue.

“What the fuck!?” Peng Longteng spat out a bloody wad of saliva after losing half of her face. She was suddenly engulfed in flames, and her armor glowed a dull red.

“Charge!” Peng Longnteng held her massive burning halberd as she charged towards the strange chicken-feet man.

But the mysterious chicken-feet man was surprisingly strong. He didn’t lose to Peng Longteng even though she was on fire.

Both of them fought valiantly in the heavy downpour.

After some time, both of them took a step back. The chicken-feet man slowly placed the incense burner down before a guttural beast-like growl came from behind his flesh veil. He stomped his chicken feet down onto the ground like nails before slowly dragging them backward, causing a screeching sound.

The chicken-feet man then howled like a wolf. Out of nowhere, a Bei[1] jumped out from nowhere and hopped onto the chicken-feet man’s back. It used its slender legs to hook itself tightly onto the chicken-feet man’s shoulder.

Both of them howled at the same time. Several invisible figures emerged from everywhere and dived into the chicken-feet man’s body.

As more invisible figures entered him, his body rapidly expanded. Several beast faces began appearing on his body as the ribbons on his body started pumping like arteries.

The chicken-feet man became monstrous and a strange ancient aura started radiating off him. The aura induced a feeling of horror to those affected by it.

Peng Longteng was naturally unaffected by the aura. She sensed that the beast’s aura was at its peak before she threw her halberd at it.

The chicken-feet man was about to hit back when the ground beneath him collapsed. He lost his balance and his attack missed.

Before he could stabilize himself, a purple-tassel sword filled with murderous aura suddenly stabbed upwards from the ground beneath him.

The chicken-feet man was about to step on the purple-tassel sword when another attack came from the bottom. A rift flew towards him as it sprayed out a mysterious liquid.

One of his chicken feet stepped into the rift. Before he knew it, half of his body was already in the Qi Kingdom.

Several distorted organs sprayed out with blood before falling onto the ground. No matter how strong he was, he still died from that attack.

Li Huowang swiftly swam out from the ground. He quickly cut down the incense burner in half.

He sighed in relief when he saw the white smoke dissipated.

He then looked up at the statue still covered in the bamboo hat. “You can’t cross over now! Your incense has been cut off!”

“Li! Turn around!” Peng Longteng suddenly called for him.

He turned around and saw why. There was a floating incense censer appearing from the depths of the mist. The white mist around Li Huowang suddenly solidified a lot.

The owner of the censer soon made his appearance, too. It was also another chicken-feet man with a flesh veil covering his face. He danced in the same strange rhythm as the ritual to summon down the deity continued.

But this time, the chicken-feet man was dancing on a single leg.

Li Huowang frowned because he knew the ritual had yet to be interrupted. He then saw several more censers appear out of the mist.

At first, there was one, then two, then five, then ten, and then there were too many for him to count. All the chicken-feet men hopped out from the rain and mist on one leg.

Water splashed everywhere as they hopped up and down.

Li Huowang’s heart fell because he knew he was in trouble if all of them were as strong as the first one.

“Hey! Are you all done up there? Where are you guys? Are you all dead?” Li Huowang shouted towards the red ribbons on top of his head.

Dak! A strange, deformed man holding onto a single blade landed near Li Huowang. He had four artificial limbs on his back, but all of them were now broken.

Soon, Zhao Jiabao, the matchmaker, and the others landed too.

The atmosphere was tense.

Before long, everyone from Li Huowang’s side had landed, but Li Huowang saw that they were still outmatched. It was going to be a bitter battle.
