Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 637 - Xu Nian

Realizing that the Xu Nian could attack him anytime, Li Huowang dared not let his guard down.

Li Huowang had no choice but to go all out. He only had a few lifespan pills left, so he'd definitely die if the Xu Nian managed to land just one hit on him.

Soon, the attacks became unbearable. Li Huowang decisively set his skin ablaze using the flint, filling up the cave with flames. The enemies in the darkness were melted away by flames.

Li Huowang turned and saw that Xu Nian hadn't actually moved.

However, he noticed quite a few flickering crimson afterimages around it.

Li Huowang had just sacrificed his skin to Ba-Hui in exchange for power, but his scalp still went numb at the sight.

The Xu Nian was channeling the same attack that she had used to defeat the Dragon Vein!

“No! I have to stop her!” Li Huowang exclaimed and charged at the Xu Nian. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Shadows jumped out from behind the stalactites, charging at Li Huowang. However, the flames melted them away.

Li Huowang unsheathed his spine sword and swung it toward the Xu Nian. A spacetime rift manifested, and it made a beeline for the woman.

The spacetime rift was about to hit the woman riding the Xu Nian when the ground sank. The Xu Nian inadvertently dropped down, and it accidentally dodged the attack.

The Xu Nian quickly climbed out of the hole, and an everlasting torrent of crimson afterimages manifested.

The situation had just taken a drastic turn!

Li Huowang tried his best to avoid every single attack. He didn't want to get his lifespan stolen or his time rewound. He retreated while defending himself and counterattacking with his spine sword.

Unfortunately, the crimson afterimages were truly everlasting. They soon filled up the entire cave amidst Li Huowang's slow retreat.

Just then, a black modao[1] tied with chains shot out from the darkness and pierced the Xu Nian’s scales.

The chains went taut, and someone flew into the cave.

"Stop!" Li Huowang exclaimed. He didn't want the newcomer to get too close to Xu Nian, “Don't touch it!”

Shwik!

A modao was thrust into the ground, and the man stopped just ten meters away from the Xu Nian.

Li Huowang finally managed to take a good look at the newcomer. He thought the newcomer was the large-framed man with a monk spade, but it turned out to be a man wearing tattered armor.

The man looked like he was from the military. He looked pretty young, but his untrimmed beard and exhausted face made it look like he had experienced the many vicissitudes of life.

“Kill the rider!” Li Huowang exclaimed.

The man in black armor's fists trembled upon seeing the purple-tasseled sword on Li Huowang’s back. He tugged at the chains and caught the two modaos before sheathing them on his back. “Give me the Tai’a Sword!”

Li Huowang had no idea what the man was talking about. He was about to respond when the Xu Nian charged at them.

Li Huowang retreated and shouted, “Help me immobilize it! I have a plan!”

The man jumped high into the air. He somersaulted and reached behind his back before throwing all four modaos on his back toward the Xu Nian.

The Xu Nian's feet were immobilized by the chains.

Li Huowang immediately swung his spine sword toward the woman on the Xu Nian's back.

The woman tried to dodge the attack, but Li Huowang tore off one of his ribs and stabbed it into his own chest.

A wave of pain erupted from him, and everyone felt the same sharp pain as him.

Swoosh!

The spacetime rift decapitated the woman, and her head vanished into the Qi Kingdom.

The crimson afterimages around the Xu Nian disappeared.

The jingling of chains echoed from behind. The man used his chain to unsheath Li Huowang’s purple-tasseled sword before throwing it toward the Xu Nian’s neck.

“Wait!” Li Huowang's face changed drastically. His figure blinked and reappeared in midair while Li Sui’s tentacles grabbed the purple-tasseled sword. “Don't kill her. She's a friend, and she was just under someone else's control. That is no longer the case, so she's no longer an enemy. She also has no intentions of killing us."

The man took one look at the Xu Nian before retrieving his four modaos with a single flick of his hand. The modaos seemed to sheath themselves on his back.

Xu Nian regained its freedom and jumped into the darkness. After a while, it returned, and a woman's face was on its neck.

The face was still torn, and there were pages beneath it. There were texts on each page, and Li Huowang was familiar with the handwriting. It was Zhuge Yuan’s penmanship!

“Is that you?” Xu Nian asked, staring at Li Huowang.

Li Huowang cast a complicated gaze at the woman. He wanted to say something, but his mouth wouldn't move

“No. It’s not you. You are no longer here.” Xu Nian shook her head in disappointment before sprinting toward the entrance of the cave, startling the large-framed man, who was just about to enter the cave.

Li Huowang wanted to chase after the Xu Nian, but he saw that Li Sui was playing tug of war with the man in a black armor. “Li Sui, let go!”

“No! He wants to take our sword! This is our sword! It's not his sword!” Li Sui exclaimed. She endured the flames as she wrapped the purple-tasseled sword tightly with her tentacles.

A chain and a tentacle were tugging at the purple-tasseled sword.

Li Huowang stared at the man in black armor, obviously asking for an explanation.

“Sir, can you please return this sword to me?” Li Huowang asked, extinguishing the flames around him, which revealed his figure that resembled a chunk of charcoal.

“Why would I return this to you?! This is my sword!” You Zixiong exclaimed, glaring at Li Huowang with bloodshot eyes.

“Zixiong, Sir Er, we're all from the same team. Let's not do this, okay? We can talk this out,” the large-framed man said, trying to calm them down.

Li Huowang didn't want to fight the man, as he had been helpful during the fight just now. ”Sir, I'm not someone unreasonable. I can give you anything except for this sword. My senior gave it to me, so I can't part with it.”

“Who’s your senior?”

“Benevolent Nunnery, Abbess Jingxin.”

You Zixiong’s eyes flashed in a peculiar light. He let go of the sword, and his chains returned to his robes.

Li Huowang cast a doubtful gaze at You Zixiong. “You know Abbess Jingxin?”

“No, but I’m from Si Qi. I did give the Benevolent Nunnery my sword as collateral last time, but Si Qi has been destroyed. I was certain that she wouldn't exchange it for money, but... hehe,” You Zixiong said. His killing intent vanished, and he looked defeated.
