Mutated Tao

Chapter 636: Dharma Sect

A single swing was enough to cut the man in front of Li Huowang in half.

Li Huowang couldn't even catch his breath as more and more Dharma Sect members charged at him.

They were regular villagers just a few moments ago, but they had become warriors unafraid of death in the blink of an eye,

The large-framed bearded man danced with his monk spade and charged into the fray.

Li Sui used the bronze coin sword and sliced a man's head in half while Li Huowang was busy staring at the chaos.

Li Huowang had fought with the Dharma Sect numerous times, so he knew that he couldn’t waste any time on the cannon fodders.

He had to handle with their leader, or the cannon fodders would never stop attacking them.

Li Huowang reckoned that the leader was among the cannon fodders.

Six tentacles struck the ground, propelling Li Huowang high up into the air.

With a bird's eye view of the entire village, Li Huowang looked around for the leader. His pupils even split in half, allowing him to search more efficiently.

Li Huowang jumped a few more times until his pupils converged and focused on a mountain behind the village.

His eye had captured the word “Witch” over there. “No wonder I can’t find the leader here! They're actually hiding in a mountain behind the village!”

Peng Longteng’s massive figure appeared in front of Li Huowang, and she threw him toward the mountain.

Li Huowang’s bag of torture tools flapped in the air as he fell toward the massive “Witch” word like a meteor.

Li Huowang was about to land when something pierced the character and pierced Li Huowang as well.

A hole the size of a forearm was in his stomach by the time he landed.

“Sui, sui! Are you okay?!” Li Huowang asked, looking around cautiously.

“Father, I’m fine. I managed to dodge it.”

Li Huowang cast a wary gaze at the nearby trees. There was no follow-up attack, which surprised Li Huowang a bit.

The assailant seemed to have acknowledged Li Huowang's strength and proceeded to hide rather than risk their life to try and kill Li Huowang in the open.

“Do you really think that I can’t find you?” Li Huowang asked. He then told Li Sui to pull out one of his bones.

Li Huowang proceeded to cast divination using his own bone. He stared at the pattern on the bone for quite a while before he shoved the bone inside of him.

Time ticked by, but Li Huowang found nothing. Just as he thought that his divination had failed, he suddenly noticed something. There was a suspicious part on a nearby mountain wall.

Li Huowang stared alternatingly between the pattern on the bone and the pattern on the growing vines on the wall.

Then, he charged at the wall and slashed out with his purple-tasseled sword.

The wall was cut in half, and a cave appeared in front of Li Huowang.

So they're hiding inside the mountain. It seems that the techniques of the Qi Kingdom’s Dharma Sect are closely tied to the earth.

Li Huowang took a stance with his sword and was about to expand the size of the cave when a stone shot out from the depths of the cave.

The stone was heading for his head, but Li Sui easily caught it.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang rushed down the cave to catch the attacker.

***

There was a constant rain of stones, arrows, and sharp objects, but Li Huowang remained unscathed.

Peng Longteng was standing in front of him, after all, and was acting like a massive shield.

Thanks to Peng Longteng, Li Huowang managed to reach the end of the cave.

It was extremely dark, and he couldn’t even see his own hands, but he could sense a crowd of people around him.

“Die!” Li Huowang roared and charged into the darkness. He hacked and slashed out with his sword, painting the cave walls crimson.

Li Huowang's demeanor had changed drastically. He was like a tiger leaping into a herd of sheep, and he slaughtered every single sheep around him.

His eye glimmered with a murderous light. He knew that he needed to kill all of the Dharma Sect members, or they'd spread like the plague.

Li Huowang ripped off a man's head from his shoulder when the cave lit up just then, blinding his last remaining good eye.

Before he could adjust to the brightness, something tackled him from the left. He crashed into the wall and fell to the ground. He coughed violently, coughing out some tentacles and chunks of his organs.

Li Huowang grabbed the tentacles and ate them before standing up to see his assailant.

“Xu Nian?!” Li Huowang was shocked to see the familiar beast.

It was the very same Xu Nian that helped him fight against the Dragon Vein in the Qi Kingdom. Li Huowang could even see familiar scars on its figure.

The only difference was that the Xu Nian before him was missing its head. The woman’s head was nowhere to be found, so the Xu Nian only had the body of a beast.

A woman with a veil was riding the Xu Nian as if it were a horse. The veil had the character “Witch” on it, and the woman was staring deeply at Li Huowang.

The woman didn't make a move, seemingly waiting for something.

“Father, your hair is turning white," Li Sui warned.

Li Huowang instantly realized why his hair was turning white. He looked down at his hands and saw that they were covered in wrinkles and were shriveling up rapidly.

“Shit! Xu Nian has stolen my lifespan!” Li Huowang grabbed his gourd and poured the lifespan pills inside of it into his mouth.

After eating dozens of lifespan pills, the wrinkles on Li Huowang's hand disappeared, allowing him to sigh in relief.

Thankfully, he was a Strayed One, so he could take as many lifespan pills as he needed. If it hadn't been for his special identity, the attack just now would have killed him.

Still, Li Huowang was in a bad situation.

This wasn't his first time fighting a Xu Nian, as he had fought one as a result of Zhuge Yuan's scheme.

The attacks he had suffered at the time were devastating attacks that robbed him of his lifespan.

Li Huowang didn't expect that Zhuge Yuan’s friends would end up being controlled by the Dharma Sect's control.

Li Huowang looked around and noted that they were in a limestone cave. Stalactites and stalagmites covered the entire cave, and the cave itself was tilted toward the left.

Just then, Li Huowang noticed something strange. He had definitely killed quite a few people just now, but there were no traces of his slaughter; there wasn't even blood on the cave walls.

Soon, Li Huowang saw a figure hiding in the distant darkness.

The darkness was bizarre as well. He strained hard, but he couldn't see what exactly was in the distance.

To make matters worse, the darkness was disappearing, plunging the cave into a pitch-black darkness again.

Footsteps echoed moments later; the Xu Nian and the figure in the darkness were slowly approaching Li Huowang.

Even more shocking was that the empty cave became crowded once again, and they all charged at Li Huowang from every direction.
