Dao of the Bizarre Immortal
Chapter Summary
However, while this might’ve been a big problem for regular people, it was all too easy for Li Huowang. Li Huowang turned around toward Bai Lingmiao and raised his chin to signal to her. I will bring up the rear,” said Li Huowang as he stood motionlessly within the moonlight and used what remaining light they had to stare into the darkness.
Chapter 242 - Talisman Within the intersecting darkness of the cave, Li Huowang and the rest were standing beneath the sliver of moonlight, staring at the exit of the cave.
“That’s too high up!
How should we climb up there?
It’s almost vertical.
” Puppy stared at the hole high up on the ceiling with despair.
However, while this might’ve been a big problem for regular people, it was all too easy for Li Huowang.
Even if he didn’t know how to solve it, the others would.
Li Huowang turned around toward Bai Lingmiao and raised his chin to signal to her.
She hesitated for a moment, before nodding and covering her head with the red veil.
Li Huowang said nothing as he looked at her seriously.
Dong dong dong~ “Veil covering the head, legs stomping on the violet earth!
We seek the auspicious Southern Dipper and Northern Dipper!
The sixth elder of the Southern Dipper and the crepe myrtle hidden in the mouth of the Northern Dipper!
” With the aid of the drum, Bai Lingmiao was soon possessed by one of the Immortals and her head shot backward.
She gazed through the red veil toward the starry night.
Her body started to tremble and shake.
When it was over, she grabbed the chains they used to tie down Li Huowang from Gao Zhijian and placed them on her body.
Then, without any warning, her body collapsed onto the ground as if she had lost all her bones.
After that, she started wriggling her limp body like a snake as she climbed up the smooth walls of the cave.
Even though the walls were vertical, Bai Lingmiao was still capable of reaching the top and crawling out of the hole.
Once outside, she tossed the chains back into the hole.
The end of the chain fell in front of everyone, resolving their problem.
“You guys go up first.
I will bring up the rear,” said Li Huowang as he stood motionlessly within the moonlight and used what remaining light they had to stare into the darkness.
“Senior Li, you are already gravely injured.
You should go up first,” Sun Baolu expressed concerns when he saw Li Huowang’s wounds.
It wasn’t wrong of him to think like that.
Li Huowang had indeed suffered many injuries.
Not only were his left hand’s fingers cut off, a large chunk of flesh and skin from his torso had also been torn away.
His body was already in tatters.
“Stop whining and get up, now!
” Li Huowang declined his good offer.
He knew that he was the strongest person in their group and he had to be the one taking up the rear.
That way, if anything happened then he could handle it himself.
If someone else were to take the rear, then they might die if an evil being passed by.
Under Li Huowang’s command, everyone started climbing up the chain one by one.
The difficult part was getting the Black Taisui up.
It continued to wriggle even though it was trapped.
It took them a long time before they managed to tie it up and pull it upward with Gao Zhijian’s help.
Meanwhile, Li Huowang raised his head and saw everyone climbing up with difficulty.
Just as he was calculating how much time they would need, he sensed something and turned toward his left, his face filled with hostility.
At that moment, Han Fu walked out from within the darkness with his two heads.
Blood stained his yellow robes from where Li Huowang had attacked him.
Han Fu did not step into the moonlight, choosing to stop at the edge of darkness.
He chuckled when he saw Li Huowang gripping the sword tightly.
“Xuan Yang, it seems that the minor characters have finally left, right?
” “Yeah, they have.
” Li Huowang cracked his right fist in anger.
“Senior Li, are you alright down there?
Who are you talking to?
” Puppy shouted down from above.
Hearing the voice from above, Li Huowang frowned.
“Don’t worry!
I’m just talking to my illusions!
You guys continue to climb up!
” Then, Li Huowang glared at Han Fu coldly.
“You were already here from the start, weren’t you?
Do you think you can win against me one-on-one?
” Han Fu shook his head and smiled.
“Hehe, did you not realize that I’ve already stabbed several talismans into your body?
They are already enveloping your organs...
” Having said that, Han Fu splayed his arms open.
Then, the sound of wind came from his wide sleeves and surrounded Li Huowang.
At the same time, a massive rune floated out from the ground.
The rune had the same color as Han Fu’s teeth and immediately enveloped Li Huowang the moment it appeared, making it hard for him to move.
Han Fu immediately started chanting, causing the rune to start wriggling.
Then, it split into numerous black lines before entering Li Huowang’s body through his wounds.
When Li Huowang suddenly stopped moving, Han Fu was delighted.
“It’s so easy to capture a Strayed One alive.
I wonder why the others always said that we shouldn’t fight a Strayed One head-on?
” “What do they know?
Strayed Ones are hard to come by.
How could a group of people who have never seen one of them ever have the experience of capturing one?
” explained the small head on Han Fu’s shoulder.
Han Fu walked over and started looking at the frozen Li Huowang.
“I don’t see anything special on the outside.
Who should I sell this rare ingredient to?
” “I don’t think we should sell him.
Maybe they would directly rob it from us if they were stronger than us.
We might as well use it ourselves,” suggested the little head.
“How should we use it?
Skin him and toss him into a pot to cook him?
I only know that Strayed Ones are rare but I have no idea why they are rare.
We should just sell him,” said the normal sized head.
“We don’t even know why they are rare in the first place nor do we know the price.
What if we end up selling it for too low?
We should ask Master.
They should know since they are very knowledgeable,” suggested the little head.
“But what if Master robs us of the Strayed One and kills us?
” questioned the normal sized head.
As Han Fu’s two heads were discussing what to do with Li Huowang, the frozen Li Huowang suddenly lunged his arms forward.
Han Fu failed to react and a sword was stabbed into his stomach.
“Impossible!
I had just sealed you!
” Han Fu’s blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he stared at the angry Li Huowang.
“Shitty bastard!
If you can’t do it right, then don’t try to copy others to come and kill me!
” Li Huowang growled and took his blade out of Han Fu’s body before slashing downward.
Han Fu hadn’t given up just yet.
However, just as he was about to form a hand seal, Li Huowang’s sword reached first.
Han Fu’s fingers were chopped off in one swift motion and blood sprayed everywhere.
“Impossible!
” Amidst his dying howls, Li Huowang quickly sliced up Han Fu, starting from the neck, followed by the mouth, the nose, and finally the forehead.
