Mutated Tao

Li Huowang cut the water monkey in front of him in half, its flesh ripping apart audibly.

As the battle dragged on, both Li Huowang and his allies suffered severe injuries.

But it wasn’t over. There were too many enemies that had obtained Dragon Qi. Li Huowang was surrounded by enemies and encircled by the Dragon Vein.

Due to the disappearance of Death, no one could fatally harm the other.

Li Huowang understood that dragging things on was worthless, but his efforts would be in vain if they dismembered him.

The small fries weren’t the problem. It was the Dragon Vein called Ao Mojie!

Li Huowang calculated his distance with the Dragon Vein before taking a deep breath of water and swinging his spine sword.

The rift appeared once more, and Li Huowang slipped into it using his tentacles.

The briny smell of seawater was exchanged by the shimmering strange liquid. Li Huowang’s heart was filled with despair as his flesh began mutating.

Li Huowang endured it and charged towards where Ao Mojie would be. Since he couldn’t do anything in the Liang Kingdom, he had to find a way to deal with it from the Qi kingdom instead. As long as he could align himself with the position of the Dragon Vein in the Qi Kingdom, he could appear directly in the stomach of Ao Mojie!

Time was ticking. Li Huowang acted swiftly as he approached Ao Mojie’s location in the Liang Kingdom. His swimming speed increased thanks to the strange fins that were growing out of his tentacles.

“You think… You think you can escape if you don’t materialize me? I’ve always been in your body, and I am Li Huowang!” A strange diminutive face appeared on Li Huowang’s neck and struggled to grow outwards. “You are already a part of me, or else you wouldn’t have thought of lying to me with your usual demeanor!”

“Scram! I don’t have time to waste on you!” Li Huowang said.

He shaved off the skin on his neck, but he soon saw a new face appearing.

“Rubbish! Without me, you are just a pile of gullible rubbish that anyone could deceive!”

“Aiya, Aiya, stop fighting!” a third voice rang out.

Another head popped up in between them. This time it was the old monk trying to block them from fighting.

The old monk was not the only head that was growing on the back of his body like a strange tumor. Jin Shanzhao, Qiu Chibao, and Peng Longteng were all growing on his back with faces of fear, unease, and anger.

“Fuck!” Li Huowang cursed.

With the heads on his back, Li Huowang swiftly reached Ao Mojie.

He found the correct location and swung the spine sword, only for the rift to shatter when it appeared. He was too close—the rift touched Ao Mojie the moment it formed, causing it to shatter.

“I refuse to believe that I will die here!”

Li Huowang swung the spine sword rapidly as numerous rifts shot out.

Finally, after he tried shooting out the rifts from numerous angles, he found a particular angle that allowed the rift to stay up for a short period. Li Huowang knew that it was his chance.

The rift could sustain itself for a while, meaning that Ao Mojie’s body was hollow inside. There was a space in there that he could fit himself in!

When he shot out another rift, he projected his body and slipped through it immediately. He had just come out from the other side when he felt his body was burning up. It appeared to be the stomach of Ao Mojie.

“Die!” Li Huowang yelled.

He stabbed the spine sword forward, and a splash of burning liquid splattered on his face. He tasted it and realized it was blood. Li Huowang perked up immediately.

He controlled the tentacles around him and sliced up his surroundings with his torture tools. Blood flowed out from the wounds and covered him.

The seawater couldn’t drown him, so naturally, he couldn’t drown in the blood either. As Li Huowang carved out more and more wounds, the space around him started to shake.

“How is it? You must’ve never felt this before right? This is the pain that you lack on the other side! You better savor it!”

Li Huowang stabbed his sword downwards and carved out a table-sized chunk of flesh.

His allies and enemies were fighting on the outside, but Li Huowang’s battle was fought inside. He refused to get out until he dismembered Ao Mojie.

He was busy carving out the flesh when a hole in Ao Mojie’s stomach suddenly appeared. A water monkey with a dragon scale covering its face swam from outside the hole and charged towards Li Huowang.

This was just the start. As Li Huowang cut the water monkey in half, more and more of them surged into the stomach. They were trying to stop Li Huowang from harming the Dragon Vein any further.

And thus a bitter battle began, this time inside of Ao Mojie’s stomach.

Still, it was much easier for Li Huowang to fight inside there. He was fighting inside of Ao Mojie after all, so Ao Mojie couldn’t do much. Victory was his.

Blood and seawater merged together and turned the area murky. The lack of light didn’t help at all either.

Li Huowang was in the middle of ripping out the head of one of the evil entities when a chaotic turbulence erupted in the bloody water to his left. A massive ashen-white being, as big as a tree truck, crashed into Li Huowang.

The being was slimy and smooth on the outside until it revealed its spiral mouth.

The evil entity shot something out from its snout. It was so fast that Li Huowang only saw a blur in the dark when it crashed into him and sent him flying. The stomach wall suddenly opened up, and Li Huowang was shot out of Ao Mojie’s stomach.

Li Huowang steadied himself in the cold seawater and was surrounded once more by the enemies cloaked in Dragon Qi.

However, things had changed. Ao Mojie had sustained a severe injury. Its body was dented and dehydrated, with numerous small wounds across the surface of its body. It wriggled around, yet it couldn’t heal itself.

The flesh on the outside was rotting, but the interior of Ao Mojie was completely different. It was mismatched.

Staring at the strange beings entering Ao Mojie’s body, Li Huowang asked with uncertainty, “Your appearance… Is it not what it was in the past?

“Is it because of the lack of Death? Is that why your appearance slowly changed to what it is now?”

Ao Mojie ignored him.

Its worshippers shielded Ao Mojie as they charged towards Li Huowang. Countless beings, all with a dragon scale covering their faces, were charging towards him!

Li Huowang was going to use the same trick again. However, before he could, a large portion of the evil entities were knocked away by a fleshy blob covered in white tassels.

“That’s… The Lion Dance Palace. What are you doing here?”

Li Huowang couldn’t understand what was happening when the blob of flesh covered in white tassels attached themselves to him.
