The Unruly Immortals

The bandit soldiers suffered heavy losses under Li Huowang's attack, and Peng Longteng could not allow Li Huowang to wreak havoc here unchecked, so he began to divide his troops.

Half of the bandit soldiers continued to besiege Bai Lingmiao, while the other half began to counterattack under Peng Longteng's leadership.

"Huowang?" A blurry voice rang in the ears of Li Huowang, who was nearly unconscious from pain.

He shook his head, and the voice disappeared again.

Li Huowang looked up and smiled when he saw the cavalry rushing towards him.

"I've also read military treatises, and this tactic of mine is called 'the bitter flesh ruse'."

When Peng Longteng, mounted on his horse and looking down from his position, reappeared in front of him, Li Huowang shouted at her, "Come on! Let's go one-on-one!"

But what came at him was a Giant Halberd whistling through the air.

"Boy! You think I can't deal with you? It's just that the wear and tear is too much, and I didn't want to use it! Howl!"

Peng Longteng lifted his Heavy Halberd and swung it behind him, as weapons scattered around him collided with it at the same time.

Immediately after, an extremely piercing sound enveloped the entire Border Pass.

That was not the sound of weapons clashing but rather a terrifying noise coming from the depths of the throats of all the bandit soldiers, an uncomfortable and piercing screech that constituted a military howl.

Along with the screeching, the bandit soldiers started bleeding from all seven orifices, but their blood evaporated as soon as it flowed out.

The rising blood mist gradually enshrouded all of them.

This even included Peng Longteng, as blood slowly seeped through the two eyeholes in her helmet.

Their blood was drying up and they were becoming less and less human.

The bandit soldiers, now enveloped in a red mist, turned into demons hidden in the fog, with emotionless eyes filled only with endless killing intent.

The Longsword in Li Huowang's hand suddenly reacted to this murderous aura, trembling and letting out a dragon's cry, as if responding to something.

"Charge!" The bandit soldiers, cloaked in bloody vapor, thrust their weapons at him.

Li Huowang tried to switch positions.

But this time, the enemy was determined to use brute force to break cunning, without attempting to feel for Li Huowang's position, and they stabbed through every space.

A drop of Li Huowang's blood fell to the ground, mixing with the blood mist.

The next moment, all the bandit soldiers instantly looked at him, they saw him.

In their eyes, Li Huowang saw greed and yearning.

They had eaten people, and a lot of them. Li Huowang was almost instantly able to make this judgment.

"Boys! It's time for flesh! Feast to your heart's content!"

Saliva dripping from their mouths, the bandit soldiers howled like ghosts and wolves, pouncing on Li Huowang like hungry ghosts possessed, and in an instant, Li Huowang was in mortal danger.

He wanted to retaliate using the Great Thousand Record, but they would not let it happen.

Every time Li Huowang unfolded the Great Thousand Record on the ground, they would interrupt him, making it impossible to use it.

Li Huowang's situation became more and more desperate; he was about to be killed when the sound of drums began to rise. "Dong dong dong~!"

A cavalryman was instantly pulled off his horse by a woman with a red bridal veil covering her head and was decapitated.

Following that, two elderly masters flew by, piercing the body of one bandit soldier.

The arrival of Bai Lingmiao and the others gave Li Huowang a chance to breathe in the encirclement.

"No good! Using the Great Thousand Record like this is too targeted!"

Without hesitation, Li Huowang thrust his blood-soaked sword into the Sword Sheath.

Immediately after, he grabbed the edge of his skin and forcefully ripped it apart,

The previous Shou San had given him an idea; as long as he became like him, then he could sacrifice to Bahu anytime, anywhere.

Accompanied by his screams, Li Huowang stuffed the unfolded Great Thousand Record under his skin.

The entire Great Thousand Record was thus crammed inside Li Huowang's body.

"Hmm?" Peng Longteng noticed something odd about Li Huowang and pointed the tip of her halberd at him.

"Wind has no form and adheres to the heavens!"

As soon as Peng Longteng's words came out, these bandit soldiers, who seemed to have completely lost their sanity, actually formed the Wind-Spread Formation and charged straight at Li Huowang,

But just as they were about to approach, the raging flames, emitting black smoke, enveloped Li Huowang and them as well.

Li Huowang's skin was scorched to a black crisp, and his appearance increasingly resembled the Ao Shen that the Ao Jing Sect worshipped.

The flames on Li Huowang's body soared, turning the traitor auxiliary soldiers around him into human torches.

For those standing close together, this move was extremely deadly.

Clad in armor, Peng Longteng forcefully charged through the flames towards Li Huowang.

Far from being frightened, she became even more excited. "Hahaha! Lad, not bad! But I've seen through your tricks, you're finished!"

The whirlwind caused by the Giant Halberd blew Li Huowang's flames backwards.

It was only when she closed in that Li Huowang realized she was indeed very tall, at least two heads taller than himself.

"Clang!" Li Huowang's feet stomped hard, sinking three inches into the ground. He desperately blocked the halberd that weighed a thousand pounds with his sword.

The flames crept along the halberd, wrapping around Peng Longteng's armor as the skin inside began to roast, forming continuous blisters.

Yet faced with such a plight, Peng Longteng was not only unafraid and fearful, but she also showed a certain joy as if she was born for killing and battle.

"Hahaha! Come again! So exhilarating! So very exhilarating!!"

The halberd's force pushed Li Huowang's sword aside and slashed towards the space below his body.

Amidst the flames, the two fought wildly, every move aimed at the other's death.

Noticing Peng Longteng's armor turning dark red, Li Huowang suddenly had an idea.

He pushed off the ground with his right foot and, bending slightly, rushed beneath Peng Longteng.

"Come again!!"

This time, facing the Heavy Halberd, Li Huowang didn't dodge. He raised his Longsword and stabbed towards the gap beneath Peng Longteng's visor in a life-for-life move.

Li Huowang was struck by the halberd shaft, his body collapsing halfway down, but his sword had also found its mark.

Just as he had anticipated, the visor's defensive ability weakened after being heated red.

The You Family Longsword, engulfed in flames, pierced straight into Peng Longteng's neck, hitting the same spot as before.

With a roar from Li Huowang, the crack of breaking bones rang out, and Peng Longteng's head, encased in the visor, instantly flew into the sky.

The surroundings quieted down, the traitor auxiliary soldiers' vigor rapidly dissipated.

After casting a fearful glance in his direction, they quickly retreated on horseback, disappearing from Li Huowang's view.

And with their retreat, the flames on Li Huowang's body also vanished.

Li Huowang looked down with his fire-irritated, pale eyes to examine his body.

All that was left of himself was a black-smoking carcass; his skin was gone, and his body had shrunk a bit.

"Plop—" Without skin to contain it, the "Great Thousand Record" fell to the ground.

Li Huowang felt a tickle on his back, and turning around dully, he saw a round-faced man.

He looked scared of him, yet tearfully he raised a small dagger wrapped in a red handkerchief, stabbing towards Li Huowang.

As the dagger continuously sliced small cuts onto Li Huowang's desiccated body, a doubt arose in his heart.

Who is this man? What is he doing?

"Whoosh!" With a flash of cold light, the man was instantly eviscerated by Li Huowang.

Cao Hai staggered backward, finally resting against the body of Peng Longteng as he slowly fell, looking at her headless corpse that still stood upright, his eyes filled with deep reluctance.

"General..."

Li Huowang steadied himself and began to stagger back, his will starting to falter under the torment of pain.

"It hurts so bad, it really hurts so much, why is it me who suffers like this?"

"Is living just for enduring hardship? I really don't want to live anymore."

"No, I can't die, I have to survive."

"Mom, it really hurts... can you blow on it for me?"

Just as Li Huowang was mumbling on the brink of collapse, he suddenly sensed movement behind him.

When he turned slowly around, he saw the headless Peng Longteng raising the Giant Halberd over her shoulder, bearing down on him like a mountain collapsing.
