Chapter 290 - Sitting Oblivion Dao
Jiang~
Li Huowang unsheathed his sword before standing between Blind Chen and the statues.
“Kill them!” ordered Li Huowang, causing everyone to immediately turn their attacks toward the statues.
Li Huowang was confident in defeating them. Since even Blind Chen could win against them, and his group won against Blind Chen, there was no reason for them to retreat!
Bam bam bam!
Gao Zhijian’s heavy footsteps rang out loud as he charged toward the statues and crashed into them.
But no matter how many times he crashed into them and knocked them down, they would always get back up and surround him.
Seeing his predicament, everyone ran over and tried to help Gao Zhijian; however, the situation did not improve. No matter how many times the statues were knocked down, they would always get up again. Even Li Huowang, who was using his two swords, could not kill them.
“Quick! Help me up and give me my mirror!” Blind Chen shouted from afar.
Hearing this, Li Huowang quickly somersaulted and exited the battlefield. He took one look at Blind Chen and then kicked the bamboo basket into his hand.
Once he got his basket, Blind Chen once again took out the Bagua mirror and bit his index finger. Then, he used his blood to quickly draw a rune on the mirror.
“The Saint’s light will shine forever! The mirror and the soul are bound together and will die together. No fear, no retreat, follow my lead. The Qi of the Heavens and Earth flows swiftly, one that is unimpeded by metal and stones. All shall fall underneath it! Open!”
As he chanted, the Bagua mirror that was stained with his blood suddenly flashed with a brilliant light.
The light lit up the dark surroundings. All of the clay statues that came into contact with the light started melting like the snow in the sun.
Once all the statues had been melted, Blind Chen, who had exhausted most of his strength, fell onto the ground with a pale look on his face.
Li Huowang approached him and carefully lifted him up. “Thank you, Senior Chen.” contemporary romance
“Go away! I still don’t trust you,” said Blind Chen. However, even though he said that, he did not stop Li Huowang from helping him.
At this point, Li Huowang could see quite a lot of the villagers staring at them through the alley and the windows. If they didn’t retreat now, then the entire village might notice them.
“Ouch! Do you want to shake me to death? How can we run during the night? We need to find a place to hide and heal first!” whispered Li Huowang.
Just as the villagers were surrounding Li Huowang and discussing what had happened, he quickly brought Blind Chen to an empty cooking hall. Once inside, Li Huowang took out a small bottle and started pouring the powdered Golden Wound medication on Blind Chen’s injuries.
While treating him, Li Huowang told Blind Chen about what might’ve happened.
“So you were fooled by a member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao as well? Ha! If that’s really the case, then it would mean that the Sitting Oblivion Dao has infiltrated deep into the Surveillance Bureau. Their trap might’ve started from the Creditor!”
Li Huowang sighed and kept away the bottle. “Maybe. I have no idea when they started paying attention to me. I didn’t even—”
However, Li Huowang suddenly stopped talking. He couldn’t just tell everyone that he was a Strayed One.
Blind Chen was still listening silently when he realized that Li Huowang had already finished talking. He huffed in indignation, “I still don’t trust you! Once it’s dawn, we will go our own ways. I have my own methods to see if you are lying or not.”
“Senior Chen, how are you going to travel with your wounds? Aren’t you afraid that you will be in danger?”
“Ba! I might just lose my life even faster if I decide to follow you. In the first place, who was the one that injured me?” retorted Blind Chen as he turned around with his back facing Li Huowang.
Just as Li Huowang was thinking about how to persuade Blind Chen, he heard something. “Shh. Someone’s coming.”
The footsteps that suddenly rang out from in front of the cooking hall made everyone stop breathing. It seemed that the owners of the footsteps were the people who had just gone to investigate the fight who were now coming back.
Soon the footsteps disappeared; it was as if the owners of the footsteps had gone back to sleep.
Just when all of them sighed in relief, the sound of footsteps rang out once again, this time much more numerous than before.
Then, it disappeared again. But not long after, the footsteps rang out once again.
This time, they stopped right in front of the door of the cooking hall.
Bam bam bam!
They were knocking on the door!
Li Huowang signaled with his finger and Chun Xiaoman carefully opened the door.
When the door opened, they saw the clay statue of one of the assistants, its eyes replaced by just two dark holes on its face, staring at everyone.
Crack~
Suddenly, the clay statue split open and antennae belonging to insects extended from the inside of the statue.
But the sound of cracking didn’t just originate from there. It rang out even from behind Li Huowang.
Behind me? But there’s nothing but a wall there.
Li Huowang turned around in fear, only to find several motifs of Bodhisattvas and the Buddha that were carved onto the wall using clay. Currently, all of them were glaring at Li Huowang!
Crack~
Soon, their bodies split from the wall and crashed into the hall like a tsunami.
While Blind Chen had no time to grab his mirror, Li Huowang didn’t waste any time. He immediately took out a pair of metal pliers and used them to crush one of his eyeballs.
Pop!
The clear liquid sprayed around the room and covered the Arhats, enveloping them as they slowly fell to the ground.
When all of them ran out, Li Huowang was surprised to see an innumerable number of clay statues standing on the roofs of the surrounding houses. All of them were glaring at Li Huowang.
“Blind Chen, quickly!” shouted Li Huowang.
“Don’t worry! They are all fakes!” said Blind Chen as he rummaged inside the bamboo basket that Puppy had passed to him. Li Huowang was standing with his back toward Blind Chen.
Splat!
Suddenly, two sharp knives stabbed into Li Huowang’s heart.
Li Huowang looked down at the knives and turned around. He saw that it was Blind Chen who had stabbed him.
But what made Li Huowang confused was that even though Blind Chen was the one who tried to kill him, Blind Chen’s face was currently even more terrified than Li Huowang’s.
Blind Chen looked at his hand with fear in his eyes. “Junior Er, this was not me! I didn’t do it! My body moved on its own!”
Just as he said that, Blind Chen’s body suddenly stopped moving and his aura started to transform. His white eyeballs sank back into his skull and a pair of heterochromatic eyeballs with double irises replaced it. At the same time, the wrinkles on Blind Chen’s face also disappeared. Soon, his face became just like Li Huowang.
Then, the Li Huowang with double irises spoke, “Haha! It’s so outdated to trick people and evil beings. I’ve learned a new trick: tricking myself! How about it, boss Hong Zhong? I learned it directly from you.”
