Chapter 606: Truths or Lies



Chapter 606: Truths or Lies

The cabin next door was made entirely out of wood and was only as big as a classroom, but it resembled more like a chamber of an ant's nest.

The walls were filled with engravings, and the tiny engraved people on the walls were moving and pointing at Li Huowang, making the entire cabin quite lively.

Li Huowang finally saw the true body of Yinyang Doulao's Twisted One.

The Twisted One was a bare-chested man sitting on a brown chair. The man was also wearing a mask similar to the mask in front of the Sitting Oblivion Dao’s entrance.

The only difference was that this particular mask boasted tusks that made the mask appear even more menacing.

The man was skinny, but his abdomen was abnormally large. A tattoo of two fishes representing Yin and Yang was on the man's abdomen. Shockingly, the two fishes were alive and swimming!

The chains connected to the five Strayed Ones were in the left hand of the Twisted One.

Clearly, he was the owner of the aged voice. Li Huowang also noticed that the Twisted One didn’t have legs—no, his legs had fused with the brown chair.

Li Huowang opened his mouth to start asking questions, but it seemed that the other party didn't want to talk to Li Huowang right now.

The bare-chested man tugged at the chains, and the five Strayed Ones were dragged into the cabin.

They wasted no time and charged at Li Huowang from behind.

The five Strayed Ones said something, and the wooden boards on the ground flew toward Li Huowang.

“Can you guys stop?!” Li Huowang was furious. He gripped his spine sword tightly and ignored the Strayed Ones behind him before charging at the bare-chested man.

Li Huowang had just swung his sword when his supposedly deaf ears heard something from behind the Twisted One’s mask.

“One obtains Dao at Mount Tian Tai and becomes Immortal at Mount Ge Zao. The Jade Capital’s Golden Gates opens within the Tai Chi. Great Compassion, Great Aspirations, Great Holiness, and Great Mercy. The Supreme Jade Capital hidden within the mechanisms of the Heavens. The Jade Void and Purple Spirit transforms into profound tranquility. The Eternal Dao blends harmoniously," the bare-chested man sang along with the five Strayed Ones behind Li Huowang.

As they sang, Li Huowang and the illusions around him flickered. It appeared like something was disappearing from them.

Rumble!

A spacetime rift came to life and struck the bare-chested man's face. However, the spacetime rift dissipated like a gentle breeze instead of bisecting the man.

It’s useless on him? Is he another Dragon Vein?! Li Huowang was stupefied, but he refused to give up.

Peng Longteng’s massive figure appeared beside him, and she hurled him toward the bare-chested man.

Li Huowang crashed into the man’s mask. The purple-tasseled sword in his hand and the bronze coin sword gripped by Li Sui’s tentacles were thrust into the man’s enlarged abdomen at the same time.

Shockingly, both swords phased through the man and struck the brown chair instead.

Li Huowang was so surprised that he froze, but he snapped back to reality in the blink of an eye and thrust his swords forward once again.

Unfortunately, his swords were indeed phasing through the bare-chested man. To make matters worse, even the brown chair was unharmed.

“Something’s wrong here!” Li Huowang exclaimed. He raised his sword and stabbed his thigh.

The sharp sword pierced his thigh, but he felt no pain at all. Eerily enough, his sword did not get stained in his blood as well.

Seeing that, Li Huowang realized that the bare-chested man wasn't a Dragon Vein. The issue was with him; something was happening to him!

It felt like he had ceased to exist the moment Yinyang Doulao’s Twisted One clapped his eyes on him.

Li Huowang felt like he had become a ghost, as he couldn’t touch anything, including himself.

“What’s going on?” Li Huowang asked, sounding confused.

“You’ve become a ‘Lie’! Quick, think of a plan while I distract Doulao!” A familiar voice exclaimed.

Just then, the ceiling of the cabin opened, and Doulao’s Twisted One took the five Strayed Ones to kneel toward the skies.

“Not existing, yet not empty. Such is the true void, manifesting its traces in the world. Guard the sage’s chariot in Yanfu. Great Compassion, Great Aspirations, Great Holiness, and Great Mercy. Of a saintly virtue with immense radiance. O’ golden revered one, the Great Sage of Marici, Yuanming Doulao Tianzun!”

The starry sky was blotted out by a clump of darkness. It felt like something was about to emerge.

“Not existing yet not empty? Did I become fake? Did I really become a ‘Lie’?”

Li Huowang's actions couldn't influence reality at all, and it seemed like he had truly lost against his opponent.

No! There must be some other way! As a Twisted One, he can use Doulao’s Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies! And I'm Ji Zai's Twisted One, so I can definitely use his Heavenly Dao!

“But how am I supposed to use ‘Bewilderment’?!” Li Huowang roared in anger.

He was badly injured and was in a bad spot. His weapon was nothing but a knife, and he couldn’t defeat Xu Shou’s guard dogs. To make matters worse, Xu Shuo's men were even equipped with guns!

Boom!

Something exploded up ahead. It was a wooden frame, and its explosion forced him into a corner.

“Woof! Woof! Woof!” Furious barks echoed, reminding Li Huowang of the five pit bulls chasing after him.

Those dogs seemed to have been trained to fight. They were brave and fearless; they were also difficult to shake off once they had latched onto someone.

The pit bulls seemed immune to pain as well, which made Li Huowang's knife useless.

One of them had latched onto him, so he sacrificed his left arm to kill it, but he didn't expect to see more!

Li Huowang heard approaching footsteps, and his expression changed drastically, revealing his unwillingness to lose. “Is this how it ends? No! I need to do something to eliminate their weapons!”

Thankfully, he had a contingency plan in mind for a scenario like this.

Li Huowang took out a bottle of pills and opened it. Then, he dumped every single pill into his mouth.

He chewed on them once and swallowed them with great difficulty.

Moments later, Li Huowang's surroundings changed drastically. The white walls of the yacht transformed into brown wooden panels. Earlier, Li Huowang had been thinking frantically about how he could use the special Heavenly Dao of Bewilderment, but now, he was no longer worried as he could touch his head once again! He was no longer a spirit that couldn't influence reality!
