The Unruly Immortals

Upon hearing Li Huowang say this, everyone sprang into motion, wielding various weapons as they followed Li Huowang swiftly toward the speck of light above.

At this moment, Li Huowang was looking in all directions and listening attentively, while vigilantly avoiding the hidden Han Fu, and hurried towards the exit as much as possible.

As Han Fu suddenly disappeared into the darkness, the surrounding darkness became extremely dangerous in the eyes of Li Huowang and the others.

Since the two-headed Taoist had recognized his identity as Xinsu, he would certainly not let things go!

The comrades who had just been very reliable had, in an instant, turned into very troublesome enemies, and when it came to dealing with their own kind, humans were always better at it than evil spirits!

"There are no truly good people in this damn place, every single one of them is a mentally twisted maniac! They're not much better than animals!"

Gradually, the distant light drew nearer, and this light dispelled the darkness trailing them, dispersing the shadows that clung to them, and suddenly everyone felt a great relief.

Everyone shed their heavy hearts and rushed towards the dazzling light with excited emotions.

But gradually, each person's pace slowed from running to jogging, from jogging to walking, until finally, everyone came to a complete halt.

Each person looked with horror and despair at the increasingly clear "sunlight" before them.

The light was impure, filled with many impurities, mixed with the crowded limbs of people.

A Jade Plaque was hanging above that cluster of sunlight, with three large characters written squarely on it. Lion Dance Palace!

That was not sunlight at the exit at all! It was the headquarters of the Lion Dance: Lion Dance Palace!

The light was a result of a bunch of Lion Dancers gathering together, their inner light reflecting off each other!

What Han Fu had just mentioned about the exit was a complete lie! The two-headed Taoist had ill intentions from the beginning!

"Huhuhu~" Upon hearing the noise, a series of bizarre giant faces flipped up, blocking the light source; a row of huge, dead faces lined up. Eventually, in front of Li Huowang, a terrifyingly vast wall of faces was erected.

The giant faces the size of round tables stared at Li Huowang with eyes the size of lanterns, an almost tangible oppression making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

This was no longer a matter of one or two as before, there were at least dozens, if not hundreds, of Lion Dancers here!

Having killed two Lion Dancers, Li Huowang clearly understood the power they represented.

"Run!!" Almost everyone, the moment Li Huowang spoke, immediately turned and dashed into the endless darkness.

Glancing at the Lion Dancers crawling over from the ceiling, walls, and ground, covering the sky and earth, Li Huowang knew that simply running away was futile, someone had to cover the retreat!

With this thought, Li Huowang instantly stood his ground, and after letting everyone else run a distance, he raised his sword with one hand and chopped towards himself.

But in the next instant, a figure shot out from the shadows and interrupted Li Huowang's action.

He held a Copper Coin Sword in one hand, the tip covered with three Yellow Talismans, and thrust it directly towards Li Huowang's waist.

"Clang!" Yellow talismans scattered as the two swords collided, sparks flying about—the shadowy figure was none other than Han Fu!

No sooner had they crossed swords than the opponent refused to linger in battle. Han Fu, with both his large and small sinister faces, smiled wickedly. Planting his black cloth shoes firmly on the ground, he abruptly retreated into the darkness.

Before Li Huowang could fathom what the other party was up to, the alarm bells in his mind clanged loudly, and he swiftly lunged forward, evading a Bai Sui flying in his direction from the Lion Dance Palace.

It turned out that Han Fu had never intended to entangle himself with Li Huowang; he was merely trying to disrupt continually, aiming to let those Lion Dances take care of Li Huowang.

At this moment, Han Fu had achieved his goal. The Lion Dances were now very close to Li Huowang, and those enormous, round faces lifted, revealing inside a gaping maw with six rows of teeth, bearing down on Li Huowang.

Li Huowang's left foot was not fully healed. In terms of speed, he was no match for these ghoulish creatures, whether they were human or monster.

Glancing back at the darkness to find that the others had disappeared, a determined glint flashed in Li Huowang's eyes. He pulled out a Fire Sickle used for starting fires and pressed it against his skin.

In this dire moment, a familiar drumbeat suddenly burst forth, and a red figure landed on all fours beside him. The beast's head, formed by a red bridal veil, fiercely clenched Li Huowang's neck in its jaws and dashed toward the darkness behind them.

The four-legged Bai Lingmiao was exceptionally agile, not slowed down in the slightest by carrying Li Huowang as she retreated.

With her help, Li Huowang quickly distanced himself from the pursuing Lion Dances behind him.

The Bai Sui of the Lion Dances tried to intercept, but they were neutralized one after another by the teeth Li Huowang pulled from his mouth, the price being that he was now left with only a few teeth on one side of his mouth.

Just as he had barely escaped danger, a new peril arose. From the ground being dragged behind them, a Copper Coin Sword with talismans buried within broke through the earth, angling towards Li Huowang's back.

Just when it seemed about to pierce Li Huowang, he who had not shown any response until then, suddenly twisted his hand backward, gripping the hilt and driving his Longsword straight into the ground.

The distinctive sensation transmitted from the hilt let Li Huowang know he had hit Han Fu. The murderous intent in his eyes intensified, "You want to ambush me again? You think you can use the same trick on me a second time??"

After another forceful thrust, he violently pulled out the sword, and the crimson blood came out along with it from the ground amidst a pained groan.

Yet from within that bloody maw, the blood-drenched Copper Coin Sword, carrying several talismans, lunged forth anew.

Just as Li Huowang was raising his sword to fend off the sneak attack, the distinct incantation of Han Fu emerged from the very earth, "Om sarva tathagata byuh!"

As the words were spoken, the Copper Coin Sword, wrapped with a red string, instantly dispersed into individual copper coins, easily dodging Li Huowang's Longsword, then, mingling with the talismans, they reconverged.

The sharp-edged Copper Coins, with several Yellow Talismans attached, pierced straight into Li Huowang's waist. As they were driven in deeper, the talismans were forcibly embedded into Li Huowang's flesh.

Excruciating pain caused Li Huowang to bellow in rage; eschewing defense, he raised his Longsword and stabbed wildly into the ground, fully prepared to trade his life for his attacker's.

As they both rapidly retreated, their blood mingled together.

After a short while, Han Fu from beneath the ground could no longer withstand it and swiftly retracted his sword back into the earth.

Having finally repelled Han Fu, Bai Lingmiao continued to drag Li Huowang through various caverns and rock formations, tumbling and scrambling, never stopping—the Lion Dances were still in hot pursuit behind them.

Compared to the sneaky Han Fu, these creatures were clearly more deadly!
