Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 956 - Changes

“Hey! What are you doing? Are you crazy? Why are you biting the dice? That’s a dice used for cheating! There might be mercury in it!”

Chen Hongyu sprinted over and shoved her mouth into Li Huowang’s mouth to take out the dice.

“Quick! Spit it out and rinse your mouth! Liquid mercury is deadly! Are you trying to kill yourself?” Wu Qi said, quickly grabbing a carton of milk from the fridge and giving it to Li Huowang.

Although everyone tried to stop Li Huowang, he refused to stop. He bit so hard that even his gums were bleeding. He had to kill Shai Zi today at all costs.

“Huh. There’s something interesting happening again,” Ba Nanxu said, looking at the others frantically trying to save Li Huowang while her brother scrolled on his phone.

While everyone was panicking, Qing Wanglai walked over and gently held Li Huowang’s shoulder before punching his stomach hard.

Bam! The strong impact sent Li Huowang flying. Even the cracked dice flew out from his mouth.

Qing Wanglai hastily picked up the cracked dice, holding it in his palm. “Li Huowang, don’t be irrational. You still have us no matter what you are encountering.”

He took the milk from Wu Qi and gave it to Li Huowang. “Here, drink the milk. The protein in the milk will absorb the liquid mercury. This isn’t a joke—you could die from this.”

Li Huowang smacked the milk away, glaring at the dice in Qing Wanglai’s hands.

Li Huowang tried to grab the dice, but Qing Wanglai didn’t let him, fearing that Li Huowang might put it in his mouth again. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Shai Zi, do you think you can do anything just because you have a new backer? A Siming will always be a Siming. You will only become their pawn!”

Shai Zi was still smiling despite his grievous injuries. “That’s rich coming from you. Everyone needs to have a dream, right? Rather than being a dice thrown by others, I want to become the one throwing the dice. To live without dreams is to be as good as dead.

“Also, I would rather collaborate with someone other than you. Don’t forget how untrustworthy and crazy you are. Even Zhuge Yuan did not trust you.”

“Die!” Li Huowang roared, tearing Shai Zi apart.

However, Shai Zi’s head rolled on the ground with no hint of fear. “Hehehe~ Li Huowang, I’m afraid you’re out of time. Look, Zuoqiu Yong is dying.”

Li Huowang turned around. An iridescent tar-like substance had replaced Zuoqiu Yong’s body.

Li Huowang recalled the source of the liquid—Fu Shengtian. In the past, it had enveloped the Qi Kingdom, causing everything to die there.

“Oh no! It’s not trying to kill just Zuoqiu Yong’s clone. It’s trying to kill the massive original body of Zuoqiu Yong too!”

Now that the spy had been dealt with, Zuoqiu Yong was his ally. If anything happened to him, his fighting forces would be reduced significantly.

Li Huowang quickly made a portal connecting to the Tianchen Kingdom.

Before he left, he looked at Shai Zi’s head hesitantly. The situation was dire, and Shai Zi could not be left alive. Li Huowang made a quick decision and threw his spine sword onto the ground.

Without waiting for it to touch the ground, Li Huowang used his cultivation and turned the spine sword into another Li Huowang.

“Kill Shai Zi for me!” Li Huowang briefly instructed his clone before running into the Tianchen Kingdom.

Once there, Li Huowang knew something was wrong. There was a massive hole in the sky, and something had clearly fallen there.

“Dammit!” Li Huowang made haste and shortened the distance between him and the ground beneath the hole. Soon, he saw the dark skies and felt the ground shake.

Li Huowang steadied himself and witnessed the immense body of Zuoqiu Yong tumbling down with a resounding crash.

There were millions of holes in Zuoqiu Yong’s body. His face was almost completely gone, covered by dense black holes like a seedless lotus pod.

The sight was astonishing. Despite his massive size, Zuoqiu Yong trembled uncontrollably as if a plague had hit him.

Time and again, Zuoqiu Yong tried to get up, but to no avail.

Zuoqiu Yong had held onto the Heavenly Dao of Growth, so minor wounds shouldn’t have harmed him, but the holes didn’t heal and were instead spreading.

Zuoqiu Yong's body was not the only thing riddled with them. The surrounding leaves, trees, stones, and soil were gradually being covered by the holes, as if they were contagious.

It wasn’t just simple holes. Something was hiding within them.

Fu Shengtian had clearly come prepared, and this was their backup plan. After their spy had been dealt with, they immediately sprung into action.

Li Huowang didn’t bother with the overall situation. He dove into Zuoqiu Yong’s left ear.

He was relieved to find that there weren’t any spies on his brain.

Thankfully, that Siming is really dead. At least Zuoqiu Yong won’t help them.

Li Huowang burrowed out from his head and stood on Zuoqiu Yong’s face to examine the holes in it. If he was right, the holes fell from the skies.

As it turned out, there were indeed beings residing in those holes. They resembled ovoid organisms, and their bodies were fleshy and repulsive, with numerous folds of meat.

Long hairs were growing from between the folds of flesh. On closer inspection, Li Huowang realized that they weren’t hairs. They were dark antennas or maybe even young hair.

The strange iridescent tar-like liquid seeped out as it contracted and expanded, gradually covering Zuoqiu Yong’s massive frame.
