SWNOVELS
Chapter 358 - Main Deity and Second Deity
“Wear this. You look ugly being naked.” Hong Da gave Li Huowang his smelly robes.
Li Huowang thanked him and wore the robe with all of the rusted blades inside of it.
Just as he was about to put his arms into the sleeves, Li Huowang saw his own wounded forearm. There was something written on his skin, but the words were burned and had melted into each other.
“Hm? What is this?” Li Huowang placed his arm down as he wore the robe.
As he was about to catch up to them, Li Huowang suddenly stopped. “Wait! Something’s not right!”
Li Huowang quickly rolled the sleeves up and looked at the melted wound. Then, he used a dagger and cut open the wound on his forearm.
He slowly pulled the skin away, revealing his muscles and tendons.
Because of how deeply he had etched the words into his forearm, the words were still visible on his muscles.
When he saw what he had written, he quickly shouted at Ji Xiang. “It’s the Muddled One!”
As soon as he heard that, Ji Xiang’s face also lit up. “I remember now! We were here to help me catch the Muddled One!”
The three of them immediately grew serious as the atmosphere became heavy.
“The Muddled One has escaped and they are hiding away our memories!” said Li Huowang as he unsheathed his black-tassel sword and looked around carefully.
“It might not just be our memories. The Muddled One may have hidden someone else too. It’s just that we can’t remember them anymore. Careful not to look into his eyes.” Ji Xiang used his abacus as he started calculating something.
Soon, the sound of clicking stopped. Three out of the five beads had shot upward.
“Three people. The Muddled One has hidden three people.”
Ji Xiang’s words made Li Huowang and Hong Da’s scalps go numb. They had already lost three people without them even knowing.
Li Huowang quickly etched the new information onto his arm so that he would not forget it again. That way, the Muddled One’s powers would be less effective.
“Let me try to force them out of hiding. Protect me!” Ji Xiang placed his abacus onto the ground and started smacking on it.
Seeing this, Hong Da cautiously walked over and placed his rusted blades around Ji Xiang. The rusted blades were all pointed inward and resembled a lotus.
On the other hand, since Li Huowang could not do anything, he just waited there cautiously.
Time slowly passed and Ji Xiang used his powers again. Once again, the concept of ‘numbers’ was affected. However, it wasn’t very effective this time around. Even though Ji Xiang was drenched in sweat, the Muddled One still didn’t show up.
Suddenly, Li Huowang growled as he looked around. When he looked down, he realized that there were more sentences etched on his arm.
It was his own handwriting. It was just that thanks to the Muddled One, he had lost his memories of etching them onto his skin. He had forgotten when he wrote it.
Ji Xiang’s method is working, but it's weak. We need to use our hearing and fast! The Muddled One has hidden not only Tuoba Danqing and Liu Zongyuan, but also Miaomiao! Earlier, the Second Deity hadn’t left and secretly brought over Miaomiao to help us. We need to save them; we must not let them become like the Muddled One’s family!
As he read the sentences etched into his own palm, Li Huowang’s body trembled as goosebumps covered his skin. contemporary romance
Li Huowang didn’t hesitate in the slightest as he took out the cotton from inside his ears and used his sharp hearing to scan the environment. At first, Li Huowang almost fainted from the explosive sounds. The sound of the abacus exploded incessantly in his ears.
“Daddy! It hurts! It's too loud!”
“Endure it! Just endure it! We need to save your mother!” Li Huowang gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He needed to focus.
While it was very loud initially, he soon calmed himself down enough to be able to hear other voices.
“Uncle... Crazy...”
“No, not that,” Li Huowang bit his lips and pressed onto his own head.
He continued to differentiate more and more sounds before he finally heard the sound of footsteps appearing and disappearing somewhere.
“It's... here!” Li Huowang opened his eyes and slashed at a tree behind him.
The massive tree was cut in half and a skinny man appeared from behind it.
At that moment, the Muddled One used his eyes and looked at Li Huowang, hiding away the black-tassel sword.
“Are you trying to pull off the same trick again?” asked Li Huowang as he stabbed his arms into his abdomen before breaking off two more ribs.
With the sound of Li Huowang stabbing his own ribs into his torso, both the Muddled One and Li Huowang bent over from the pain as they started howling in pain.
Enduring his pain, Li Huowang started running toward the Muddled One.
Seeing this, the Muddled One glared at Li Huowang. However, he realized too late that his ability did not work on the other party.
By the time the Muddled One realized what was happening, Li Huowang was just meters away from him. At the same time, Li Sui’s tentacles were already wriggling in the air, ready to cover the Muddled One’s eyes.
However, faced with this dangerous situation, the Muddled One did not panic and just waved his left arm.
Suddenly, a figure appeared and flew toward Li Huowang, it was Tuoba Danqing!
Then, another figure flew out as well. This time, it was Liu Zongyuan!
When the third person flew out, Li Huowang felt his heart become lighter, because he saw that it was Miaomiao.
Without waiting for the Muddled One to do anything else, Li Huowang stretched open his arms unconsciously and caught Bai Lingmiao.
As he caught her, they looked at each other. Even though they didn’t exchange a single word, their eyes conveyed a lot of emotions.
After a moment, Li Huowang placed her down but she suddenly disappeared once again.
The Muddled One had hidden her once more!
“Muddled One!” Li Huowang roared and chased him down.
As Li Huowang once again closed in on him, the Muddled One threw another figure at Li Huowang. This time it was the Second Deity.
Just like that, the items hidden by the Muddled One were thrown out again and again like stones.
Various items appeared and were hidden away over and over.
Compared to the female Muddled One, this male Muddled One was much more well versed in the use of his powers.
Li Huowang knew he couldn't drag this out any longer or Ji Xiang would collapse. Once Ji Xiang collapsed from fatigue, it would be extremely hard to flush out the Muddled One.
And so, Li Huowang needed a plan.
When he saw the two girls being thrown out once again, Li Huowang quickly winked at them.
When she saw this, Bai Lingmiao nodded.
Soon, Bai Lingmiao and the Second Deity disappeared again.
When the Muddled One once again started throwing out various items, they appeared once more.
At the same time, Li Huowang stabbed his arms into his torso and twisted his ribs, causing the Muddled One to bend down in pain.
At that moment, the Second Deity turned in the air and kicked Bai Lingmiao’s feet, launching her toward the Muddled One. fr(e)e
Bai Lingmiao used the force and flew directly toward the Muddled One. Along the way, she reached out and grabbed the sword beside her.
“WAIT, DON’T TAKE THAT!” Li Huowang shouted to stop her.
That was his black-tassel sword!
Bai Lingmiao also knew she shouldn't take that, but there was no other choice.
Just as the Muddled One finally managed to resist the pain to raise his head, a sword pierced into his forehead.
Everything became quiet when the Muddled One died.
Meanwhile, Li Huowang’s eyes were wide as he stared at Bai Lingmiao holding onto the black-tassel sword.
“Hehe.”
Bai Lingmiao suddenly started chuckling, her body bent slightly forward. At the same time, the Second Deity also started laughing. Gradually, their laughter grew louder and louder.
“HAHAHAHA!”
