Dao of the Bizarre Immortal - Chapter 520 - Ao Jing Sect

Chapter 520 – Ao Jing Sect

“Metal lungs!”

Li Huowang snarled and tore off his own lungs before slapping them onto the Profound Records on the ground.

As he howled in pain, the crescent moon in the skies became shrouded by dark clouds. The shadow of the clouds produced an illusion on the Bodhisattva statue, making it seem like it was closing its eyes.

“Wood liver!”

The guards that surrounded Li Huowang all dropped to the ground as their bodies wriggled in pain. Their agonized screams sent shivers down everyone’s spines.

Zu Yi saw what Li Huowang was doing and exclaimed, “That’s… that’s the Five Elements Intercalation!”

The doll made from a Strayed One’s skin could extend one’s life, but in Li Huowang’s hands, it could be used to perform that powerful technique without dying.

The blood-red bamboo slips transformed into wiggling maggots that burrowed into Li Huowang; some of them even crawled on Li Sui’s tentacles.

Li Huowang sighed. The pain disappeared as his body became hollow. He stood up slowly and glared at the burning Zu Yi. “Come.”

The tables had turned…

When Li Huowang took a step forward, the burning Zu Yi took a step back.

Soon, their steps became a slow jog. Soon, the two of them were running at full speed. Zu Yi was frantically running away from Li Huowang while the latter chased after him.

Zu Yi saw the princess standing still, so he shouted, “Be careful! He’s using the secret technique of the Ao Jing Sect! He cannot be killed in a short period of time! He’s covered in maggots, so don’t get close to him until he’s exhausted!”

“Hmph!” the princess scoffed and raised her chin. Several shadows flew past her and ran toward Li Huowang.

Li Huowang didn’t even blink when the dark shadows made holes in him, as the holes were pervaded by maggots.

“Li Sui! Come!”

Li Huowang gnashed his teeth and ran toward the princess while Li Sui drew two talismans and slapped them onto the two largest tentacles.

The tentacles expanded and slammed the ground, propelling Li Huowang like an arrow toward the princess standing on a rooftop.

The princess waved her sleeves, and the ribbons around her flew into the air, forming an intricate formation.

Li Huowang didn’t even bother to dodge. He slashed at the ribbons with the spine sword, and Li Sui threw the maggots at the princess with her tentacles.

The princess finally grew serious when she saw the sword slicing her ribbons so easily while the maggots flew past the gaps in her formation. How did he get so strong?

She wrapped a ribbon on the seven-layered furnace behind her and pulled herself away.

Li Huowang’s maggots chased after her but were blocked by a wave of burning molten gold.

“Princess! We need to buy time! He will die once the Five Elements Intercalations ends!” Zu Yi explained.

“How annoying! In that case, block him for me while I go back to the palace!”

The princess was about to run away when Li Huowang blocked her. “Leave? I’ve paid a huge price, and you actually want to leave just like that?”

Li Huowang clenched his teeth and tore his torso apart before running at the princess. His torso was like a gaping maw, while his ribs were the teeth.

Boom!

All of a sudden, his white ribs exploded into a cluster of maggots that rained down on the princess.

Sensing danger, the princess’s perfume pouch suddenly opened, and a multicolored cloud shot out to block the maggots.

The bodyguards of the Empress Dowager also ran over and surrounded Li Huowang along with the princess’s bodyguards.

However, they weren’t Li Huowang’s match, as he was still in the middle of the Five Elements Intercalation. All of them died one by one, and soon Li Huowang had the upper hand; even the princess was wounded.

They fought with their lives on the line.

“Imperial Preceptor!” someone roared, forcing everyone to come to a halt and look in the same direction.

An old man reclining on a black ox slowly entered the fray. He was wearing a simple bamboo hat with a fishing rod in hand.

Li Huowang looked at the old man without letting his guard down. He was the same old man he had met in the palace not too long ago.

“Imperial Preceptor, save me!” the princess cried out. She appeared very pitiful with her tattered clothes.

The Imperial Preceptor’s expression became sullen as he swept his gaze across the battlefield. He glanced alternatingly between the severely injured Li Huowang and the pitiful-looking princess before figuring out what was happening.

He patted the black ox lightly, and the ox ran away from the battlefield.

“Imperial Preceptor! You once carried me in your arms when I was young!”

Li Huowang stared at the Imperial Preceptor leaving the battlefield and heard the latter’s aged and exhausted voice.

“Sigh. All things change. It’s better to make it quick. Just let it go.”

The black ox disappeared in the night. Li Huowang was about to continue his assault when he saw a glob of molten gold landing on the princess’s face. “AAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Li Huowang was confused by Zu Yi’s betrayal, but he said nothing as he slashed at the princess.

Zu Yi’s betrayal was the nail in the coffin. Under their combined assault, the injured princess eventually lost.

The princess’s clear irises reflected Li Huowang’s silhouette as the latter walked up to her decapitated head and picked it up from the ground.

It was only when the maggots had devoured her brain did Li Huowang threw the head away. Then, he looked at Zu Yi, who was no longer burning.

“Zu Yi greets the elder.” Zu Yi bowed to Li Huowang.

“Why are you calling me an elder right now and not earlier?” Li Huowang asked the charred Zu Yi.

Zu Yi said nothing and retreated. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐velbin(.)com

Li Huowang did not chase after Zu Yi as he could feel extreme pain encroaching upon him. The Five Elements Intercalation would soon be over.

“Li Sui, let’s go.” Li Huowang walked in the opposite direction.

Fifteen minutes later, a hollowed-out Li Huowang sat underneath a large tree. He was dead.

Moments later, a doll made out of human skin crawled out of his abdomen and expanded.
