The Unruly Immortals

Accompanied by a whooshing sound, Master Danyang's flesh-formed Copper Coin Sword swung over, and Li Huowang, in perfect sync with Yi Wan next to him, both retreated at the same time.

Seeing this, the other three mahjong men quickly moved forward and intercepted Master Danyang.

Taking advantage of this rare breather, Yi Wan turned to Li Huowang at his side.

"What do you say? Just help us deal with Master Danyang! After that, we can all go our separate ways."

However, Li Huowang dismissed his words and, with a fierce stomp on the ground, was about to go aid the three members of the Oblivion Path who were fighting in the distance.

Seeing this, Yi Wan spoke again, and this time the words that came out of his mouth stopped Li Huowang in his tracks.

"Still not convinced? Then I'll put my last card on the table!"

"Li Huowang, aren't you Xinsu? Feeling lost all the time must be unbearable, right? If you help us this time, we can tell you how Xinsu can overcome the confusion and become a normal person!"

Seeing the shock on Li Huowang's face, Yi Wan explained further, "That's right, Xinsu really can overcome the confusion. It's just that the method is very difficult! Ordinary people simply cannot find it!"

"Stop lying, even Master Jingxin couldn't find it, so how could you?" Li Huowang's tone was very firm, but he did not walk away.

As Yi Wan watched his comrades struggling desperately in the distance, he spoke faster and faster.

"That old nun Chen Hongxiu doesn't know shit! I'll tell you the honest truth! Bahu, one of the four Sixi of the Oblivion Path, is Xinsu! He's lived to one hundred ninety years old, and isn't he doing just fine now? Not entangled with any confusion anymore!"

Just as Li Huowang was deep in thought, the other three members of the Oblivion Path in the distance couldn't hold out any longer.

The flesh-formed Copper Coin Sword pierced the chest of one of the mahjong men, causing his chest to bulge.

The next moment, his body burst open, turning into a large mass of grotesquely mangled flesh that splattered all around.

"Look! Three people are dead! If you don't thoroughly suppress Master Danyang now, in the end, both sides will die. He'll be the ultimate winner. Is that what you want?"

"Let me put it plainly! Even if I'm openly plotting against you, so what? Who do you hate more, him or us? We've already lost three people, and your master, Master Danyang, hasn't even lost a single hair! Think carefully!"

These words seemed to persuade Li Huowang. If he had to choose a winner between Master Danyang and the Oblivion Path, it was a very simple matter.

Li Huowang looked at Master Danyang, who was chasing after the remaining two members of the Oblivion Path in the distance, and nodded. "Hurry up! I'll hold the line first!"

Just as Master Danyang opened his gaping maw, almost biting off an Oblivion Path member's square head completely, Li Huowang managed to arrive just in time.

At that moment, he didn't bother to dodge; instead, he stomped his feet firmly and lunged straight into the open mouth of Master Danyang.

The blood-sucking leech-like creatures, formed by the Great Thousand Record, wriggled eagerly as they tunneled out from Li Huowang's chest, baring their circular sharp teeth at Master Danyang.

With a clang, Master Danyang's mouth closed just before Li Huowang reached it.

Li Huowang, covered with wriggling worms, slammed heavily into the terrifying face of Master Danyang.

All the worms opened their mouths, ready to burrow into Master Danyang's flesh.

But unexpectedly, as Master Danyang's tentacle-fused fingers swiftly clasped in a decision gesture.

The flesh on Master Danyang's body twisted backwards, directly pouncing on Li Huowang, intending to completely devour him.

Blood, skin, bones, organs, worms—these things crowded together in an extremely limited space, tearing and devouring each other.

Seeing Li Huowang was difficult to deal with, Master Danyang wanted to solve the problem of the Oblivion Path first, but Li Huowang wouldn't allow it.

The two sides began to merge, with each containing parts of the other.

Although it seemed Master Danyang was stronger than Li Huowang, swallowing Li Huowang whole was not an easy task.

Li Huowang had sacrificed the Five Elements and his internal organs, trading them for things from Bahu, which certainly couldn't be resolved so easily.

The worms weren't affected by the anomalies in Master Danyang's body and clung tightly to Li Huowang's flesh and blood, preventing them from being devoured.

To Yi Wan and the others, Master Danyang and Li Huowang in the distance seemed to have turned into a constantly writhing ball of flesh.

"Master, nice to see you're doing well!" Li Huowang said with a sneer to the head the size of an orange that seemed to have had its skin peeled, greeting him from close by.

Although he was laughing, Li Huowang actually wished he could eat his master's flesh and drink his blood!

Watching Li Huowang before him, Master Danyang's face always had a mocking smile on it.

"You misguided disciple, do you really think you can outfight me? I am a Demi Immortal, and what can you, a mere mortal, amount to?"

"Then how is it that you, a Demi Immortal, are still entangled by me, a mere mortal? Master, your half-immortal skills are lacking!"

As they were entangled with each other, the remaining three followers of the Oblivion Path began to take action. They quickly surrounded the master and disciple, crossed their legs, closed their eyes, and began chanting incantations.

"There is a way in practice! Habit becomes nature! Discard the sharp and cast off the body! Tada, sit in oblivion! Unmoved by stillness! Almost invisible, enter the light! Tread different paths! Understand with no daily concern! Those who follow this path! Wondrous outcomes expected! The weak gain strength, achievements abound! Important indeed! Wonderful! Hahaha!!"

Accompanied by the chanting incantations, patterns of cards from the game Pai Gow, resembling those of mahjong and playing cards, flowed like water from beneath their clothes, quickly spreading out on the ground.

These patterns quickly assembled into a series of bizarre talismans. The lines of the drawings started to tremble, emitting laugh sounds high and low.

The laughter grew louder and spread to the surrounding Ao Jing Sect observers, as well as to Master Danyang and Li Huowang in the distance.

The voices of everyone began to echo within the cave, growing louder and louder. Li Huowang's ears began to pick up something hidden within the laughter.

Some dark, obscure thing, imperceptible to ordinary sensory organs. Although incomprehensible, Li Huowang felt a familiar sensation from it.

"This is the God of Happiness! I remember now, this is the God of Happiness from the Hu Family's Ancestral Temple! The followers of the Oblivion Path are summoning the God of Happiness!!"

However, Master Danyang at his side noticed much more.

"No, my child, you are mistaken, they are not summoning—they are deceiving!"

"They are deceiving Bahu and even their own God of Happiness! Not one of their divine skills is their own; they've swindled them all from other places!"

Li Huowang then felt that something was being drawn by the laughter; those things were staring intently at him from inside the cave walls, and that was the God of Happiness, watching with three gazes.

The laughing next to him grew louder, and Li Huowang knew that whatever they were doing, it had reached a crucial moment.

Just as the laughter was about to peak, he glanced at the three seated followers of the Oblivion Path. Li Huowang's mouth curved slightly upward, and his body suddenly contracted.

All the worms entangled with the abnormal flesh and blood inside Master Danyang followed Li Huowang and retreated together.
