Mutated Tao

Chapter 719: Array

Li Huowang crashed into the group after being thrown by Peng Longteng.

The fire on Li Huowang’s body radiated outward, turning him into a human torch. The flames burned everything, including inflammable objects.

At the same time, the burning Peng Longteng reached the crowd too as she swung her halberd at the Dharma Sect.

Her armor was already a dull red from the flames. She was like a god of massacre as she cut down everyone in her path.

The Dharma Sect landed numerous attacks on Peng Longteng, including several fatal ones, but she refused to fall down. Li Huowang had removed the one weakness that those from the military had: their mortality.

“Die! Everyone must die!”

Peng Longteng felt alive again. She felt as if she had returned to the days when she led crusades and raids across the sandy plains. She loved this feeling, and she loved killing people. She relished the feeling of stomping humans beneath her horse.

The Dharma Sect was clearly at a disadvantage with Peng Longteng and Li Huowang attacking them. Many of them burned up without being able to do anything.

Even so, the Dharma Sect had plans to fight against the unyielding Li Huowang.

“To the east of Qianjing Yao’s Jade Pool is the Qingtong, commanded by the Sacred One! Fire is thrown from ten thousand miles away as it shakes the palace but the rain riders bring the overwhelming mist swiftly! Mulang and Taiyi are the strongest in the three mountains, while thunder breaks through the source of springs! A single shout changed the darkness into light across the four seas, and wherever the rainstorm reaches, the rivers overflow!”

Three cherrywood swords with purple talismans pointed at the sky. Dark clouds gathered, and rain showered down on Li Huowang.

Even though the rain couldn’t extinguish the fire given by Ba-Hui, it still suppressed it.

As it rained heavily, a witch jumped out of Li Huowang’s shadow to stab his calves.

A tentacle shot out and restrained the witch’s hand. “Don’t you dare touch my father!”

The witch saw several more black tentacles shooting towards her.

The tentacles became smooth as they were exposed in the rain. Li Sui slid her tentacles past the witch’s veil and into her orifices.

After Li Sui got used to the new body, she turned around and started stabbing the black dagger at the other Dharma Sect members.

Many Dharma Sect members fell under Li Huowang and Peng Longteng’s assault, but Taishan Shi showed no hints of panic. Instead, he was counting something using his fingers.

As he quickly calculated, the Dharma Sect surrounding Li Huowang moved rhythmically.

Taishan Shi is still their leader! I didn’t think he would be able to adapt so well after several months! I need to kill him instead, or there will be no end to this! Li Huowang then gave Peng Longteng a knowing look.

The experienced Peng Longteng knew what he wanted. She spun her halberd before hurling it at Taishan Shi.

The heavy weapon flew towards Taishan Shi, but an old man beside him tried to block it. The old man waved his sleeve, and several dark shadows shot out towards the halberd.

Just as the shadows almost crashed into the halberd, Li Huowang focused his gaze on the halberd. It turned back into an illusion and phased through the shadows.

The halberd never stopped as it continued to fly towards Taishan Shi.

But now that it had changed back into an illusion, only Li Huowang could see it.

Before the halberd crashed into Taishan Shi, Li Huowang focused, and the halberd materialized back into reality.

Even Taishan Shi couldn’t dodge when the halberd was so close to him. The halberd landed squarely on his body.

But Taishan Shi was unharmed. As the halberd struck his body, the sound of metal clashing into stone reverberated throughout the area.

Taishan Shi then grabbed the halberd and snapped it in half, much to the shock of Li Huowang and Peng Longteng.

Taishan Shi threw the halberd onto the ground before he looked at Li Huowang. “Formation!”

The Dharma Sect around Li Huowang removed their clothes and revealed their tattoos.

The tattoos were written in a strange language resembling circles.

Amidst the heavy rain, the witches started rapidly shaking and twisting their bodies.

The tattoos on their bodies linked with one another as they formed a large-scale living array. Li Huowang was in the middle of the array. This time, the array was even more complex than the one the Dharma Sect had laid in the swamp!

A strange voice escaped from the witches’ mouth. It resembled the chanting of a scripture, but some of their words were almost impossible to be spoken with a human’s vocal chord.

“Yan na li luo mi duo ma shu, the Heavenly Door opens, yan ma li duo dou luo sha shu, may the Doors of the Damned remain open, yan tuo su li luo ma ji sha shu, may we surpass life and death…”

As they chanted in unison, Li Huowang heard the faintest trace of a crane’s cry.

Li Huowang didn’t know what they were trying to do, but he knew that if he didn’t stop them now, he would die!

He shot out several rifts using the spine sword towards the witches. To his surprise, none of them made any attempts to dodge it.

After they perished, the tattoos on their body detached and floated in the air as the array continued to activate.

The faint voice of a crane’s cry could be heard, and Li Huowang felt something staring at him from above.

The familiar feeling made Li Huowang realize what was going on. “Are they trying to summon god Yu’er just to deal with me!?”

Li Huowang still remembered how strong Yinyang Doulao was, even though it had just been part of it. Even Zhuge Yuan hadn’t been able to fight against Doulao.

If god Yu’er descended, Li Huowang was certain he would die. He was Ji Zai’s Twisted One, but he would still die.

Even Peng Longteng and Suisui knew this. They quickly killed the people in the array, but the crane’s cry continued to grow stronger.

Li Huowang swung his sword at the tattoos floating in the middle of the air. Even though he managed to cut them, the tattoos glued back together in the next instant.

“Li Huowang, today is the day you die!” Taishan Shi glared at him. “You should be proud! Not everyone gets to meet Sir Arrogant Stone!”

“You want me to die? Dream on!” Li Huowang threw his sword upwards. He then stomped on Peng Longteng’s hands as she flung him upwards.

High up in the air, Li Huowang looked down. His eyes were already white from being burned, but he still saw what the array looked like.

The twisting array formed the massive character “滇.”[1]

The crane’s cry became louder by the second. Li Huowang snarled and imagined himself grabbing the entire array. He grabbed the top and bottom parts with his hands.

1. 滇 is the old name for Yunnan Province. I can’t find any other meaning for it. ☜
