Dao of the Bizarre Immortal
Chapter Summary
He was focused on the name “Hong Zhong” mentioned by the other Li Huowang while at the same time thinking about his impending death. Suddenly, Li Huowang moved his arms, which were almost completely devoid of blood, and used them to grab the fake Li Huowang before opening his mouth toward the latter’s face. The Black Taisui somehow detected the sharp cards that were flying toward it and used all its strength to retreat into Li Huowang’s mouth.
Chapter 291 - Source of Auditory Hallucination In the dark hall, Li Huowang's hands trembled as he stared at the knife tip stabbing into his chest.
He was shocked to see another Li Huowang, one with double irises.
“You...
Me...
” Li Huowang fell backward as he started losing massive amounts of blood.
The sudden change in the situation left him unable to think properly.
He was focused on the name “Hong Zhong” mentioned by the other Li Huowang while at the same time thinking about his impending death.
Just as Li Huowang was about to fall to the ground, the others from his group rushed toward him and carefully propped him up.
Bai Lingmiao’s dark fingernails trembled; she wanted to touch the wound on Li Huowang’s chest.
However, after a moment of hesitation, she retracted her arm and started pounding on her drum.
Dong dong dong~ “Ox-head and Horse-face[1] carry the chains, the Black and White Impermanence[2] holds the flag!
” The sound of the drum was accompanied by her chanting.
Dong dong dong~ “If you wish to ferry the soul of the stubborn boy, life and death are but a line apart~ I know what it means when the soul reaches the gate of hell!
” Dong dong dong~ “If we can’t take him away today, the Sorrow King will make his presence known before the God of Hell!
” As she chanted and the red veil on her face started wriggling, while an eerie wind started congregating around her; it was as if something was forming under there.
While Bai Lingmiao wanted to save Li Huowang, the other Li Huowang with two irises would not let her.
He immediately threw out three cards toward Li Huowang.
Dang dang dang!
Suddenly, the cards fell onto the ground and made a sharp metallic noise.
Gao Zhijian, wearing his armor, had blocked the attack to prevent it from reaching the dying Li Huowang.
At the same time, his eyes that were glaring at the enemy were resolute.
“Oh?
Boss Hong Zhong, how did you trick all of them into following you?
They are so loyal, but...
” The Li Huowang with double irises snapped his fingers, causing the clay statues standing atop the roofs to gather around.
“...
but you are not as good as me.
Why don’t you back down and let me become Hong Zhong instead?
” He had just said that when the clay statues all jumped down, crashing toward them like a meteor shower.
At this moment, they realized that all of the clay statues were under his control.
From the very beginning, he had been both the good and bad guy.
The issue with Ganyuan Village was just a massive trap set by the Sitting Oblivion Dao.
Ding ding ding!!
Amidst the chaos, the sharp sound of a bronze bell rang out.
As tens of Wandering Gods appeared around them and pounced toward their target, Chun Xiaoman grew taller and taller.
“AAAAH!
” At the same time, Gao Zhijian shouted and started swinging the mace he had gotten from the bandit camp, using it to crush everything in his path.
His killing intent was laid completely bare.
However, even though all of them did their best to block the clay statues, there were just far too many of them.
Their group kept retreating as they fought, their situation dire.
Meanwhile, Bai Lingmiao’s chanting became faster and faster.
Her red veil was already halfway drenched, either from sweat or tears.
However, as she saw Li Huowang slowly removing the two knives from his heart and his wound slowly healing, Bai Lingmiao persevered while hanging onto a single thread of hope.
“Don’t worry!
Senior Li can be saved!
He won’t die!
” shouted Bai Lingmiao.
With the help of the Immortal families, Li Huowang soon managed to extract the two knives and mend the wounds on his chest.
Clank!
Just as the bloodied knives fell onto the ground, Bai Lingmiao saw a man appearing in front of her.
It was the Li Huowang with double irises.
He was a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao that Li Huowang had told them about!
The fake Li Huowang looked at the Main Deity covered in a red veil and then turned toward the Second Deity before revealing a smile.
“Oh?
Not bad.
You actually managed to heal him.
” Splat!
As he spoke, three sharp daggers stabbed into Li Huowang’s torso.
When the fake Li Huowang heard the girl behind him cry out in anguish from underneath her red veil, he laughed maniacally, to the point that he had to hold his stomach in pain.
Meanwhile, Li Huowang, who had originally passed out from the pain, woke up upon suffering the new wounds.
Then, he took a deep breath and controlled his body which was gradually losing heat.
“Fire.
Water.
Mouth.
” He once again heard the auditory hallucinations.
At the same time, with the sound of the bronze bell and the drum, Li Huowang was having an extremely difficult time listening to everyone.
“Enough!
Quiet!
Quiet!!
” As Li Huowang used his final breath to shout those words, the sounds really disappeared.
But not all of the sounds disappeared.
In fact, he could still hear the voice of the member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao quite clearly.
“Boss Hong Zhong~ Hehehe~” At that moment, the fake Li Huowang appeared in front of the real Li Huowang and stared at him.
When Li Huowang looked at him, it was just like looking into a mirror.
The sound of drums suddenly rang out as both the Main Deity and the Second Deity pounced toward the fake Li Huowang.
However, they were immediately smacked away by the clay statues around them.
“Come now, Boss Hong Zhong, don’t lie on the ground.
It’s very dirty,” said the fake Li Huowang as he grabbed the daggers stabbed into Li Huowang’s torso and used them to pull him up.
Looking at the dying Li Huowang, the fake Li Huowang had a look of relief.
“Tsk tsk, you should already have had enough fun.
Boss Hong Zhong, should I change you back?
” Li Huowang stared at the face in front of him but did not understand what was being said; the auditory hallucinations started again.
“Where...
Where are you coming from?
” Li Huowang asked the voice.
Looking at how Li Huowang did not reply to him, the fake Li Huowang sighed.
“Alright, since that’s the case, I wish you a good journey, Boss Hong Zhong.
I will take over your identity and trick the others.
Then, I will become the next Hong Zhong.
Hehehe~” Then, the fake Li Huowang grabbed the daggers and started pulling them upward—he wanted to kill Li Huowang by butchering him, and so he steadily shoved the daggers upward toward Li Huowang’s head.
He did not just want to disembowel Li Huowang, he wanted to cut the latter into three parts!
Looking at how Li Huowang struggled even more, the fake Li Huowang laughed like a maniac.
On the other hand, the pain Li Huowang was suffering from made the voices from the auditory hallucination become even more real.
Li Huowang felt like the voice was very close to him.
“Who are you?
What do you want!?
” Along with his final shout, Li Huowang felt a strong urge to vomit.
Then, in the next instance, his neck became as thick as his head.
Suddenly, Li Huowang moved his arms, which were almost completely devoid of blood, and used them to grab the fake Li Huowang before opening his mouth toward the latter’s face.
In an instant, numerous black tentacles covered in red blood burst forth from Li Huowang’s mouth and covered the fake Li Huowang’s face.
Neither side had expected such a situation.
Even Li Huowang hadn’t expected that the auditory hallucinations hadn’t been fake, but came from the Black Taisui within his body!
In a panic and wanting to retreat, the fake Li Huowang fell backward.
But the tentacles of the Black Taisui held his face tight.
It was even to the point that the stitches that Bai Lingmiao had made earlier started to break.
The tentacles quickly bore into all of the fake Li Huowang’s various orifices.
Sensing this, the fake Li Huowang quickly released his grip on the daggers and touched his face in a panic.
At the same time, he threw out four cards toward the blood-soaked tentacles.
The Black Taisui somehow detected the sharp cards that were flying toward it and used all its strength to retreat into Li Huowang’s mouth.
As it retreated, the sound of flesh being torn rang out alongside the cry of the fake Li Huowang; the fake Li Huowang’s face was torn off by the Black Taisui’s tentacles as it retreated into Li Huowang’s mouth.
At the same time, it also took with it those eyeballs with double irises.

Undertakers that catch the souls of the dead and guard the entrance to hell.
One has an ox head while the other has a horse head.

2.
Deities that escort and capture the spirits of the dead, another set of undertakers.
