Chapter 886 Contact
In the northeast of Da Qi, five hundred li from Youdu, there is a low-lying area where the grass has grown to half a meter high, a verdant expanse that sways with the breeze, making one feel as though they are in Qingqiu, and it is truly refreshing.
But no one would have thought that Da Qi's elite forces were already lying in ambush here, just waiting for people from Tianchen Country to come over.
At this moment, Li Huowang was lying in the dirt with his brow furrowed, relying on his keen hearing to sense any movement on the ground above.
He had been lying here for a whole day, all to verify whether the information from Touzi was correct or not.
"Feeling suffocated? Want to take a breather?" Li Huowang asked Li Sui in his heart.
"Dad, they're coming."
At the moment he heard this, Li Huowang's scalp instantly tightened, and his heartbeat accelerated.
Immediately after, he heard the heavy footsteps above, along with some bird calls. Da Qi currently had no birds! Those are Tianchen's birds!
As Li Huowang's heart stirred, the solid earth around him began to liquefy, cautiously pushing him slowly towards the surface.
When one of Li Huowang's eyes caught a glimpse through the grass of people deliberately dressed as Da Qi People, he immediately exhaled a large sigh of relief.
"They said not the main army, but agents sent over. Tianchen Country is starting to play dirty."
These people looked many, at least several hundred in number.
Li Huowang didn't know what they were sent to do, but whatever their intention, since he now knew their location, their plan was completely foiled.
Without any warning, several clusters of shadows suddenly flew up from behind the distant hills, falling towards this direction.
As they approached, it was discovered that those were Zhengde Bureau's Buddhas in the air. The Buddha opened its twisted mouth wide, accompanied by the monk inside it chanting the obscure Buddhist scriptures together. "Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha~"
When the Buddha crashed heavily into the crowd, its entire writhing body instantly splattered like a watermelon hitting the ground.
Any agents touched by the Buddha's blood and flesh screamed despairingly, their bodies also started twisting continuously, inevitably squeezing into a pile.
Having been sent as agents, and with so many of them, they were caught completely off guard by the sudden ambush of Zhengde Temple's Buddha.
However, the opponent reacted quickly. With a melodious string sound ringing urgently, some black, rotting grains surged from historical crevices like tides, quickly covering the entire Buddha.
In this small low-lying area, the situation started to become intense. Although both sides were entangled, the Da Qi People would cease to exist with each death.
"This can't do. Let's go over there and cut its root!" Li Huowang said, sticking close to the grass and moving towards Tianchen.
Chan Du was working hard; the outside battlefield was incredibly fierce, so much so that people from Tianchen Country didn't even notice someone approaching.
Through that round hole, Li Huowang could see the forest of thick woods and the people in between them.
It seemed that to deliver this batch of agents, Tianchen Country had sent quite a few people, most of them large, imposing figures full of menace.
Among them, Li Huowang didn't see the main army or the Golden Dragon. He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At least, from what's visible now, this wasn't a trap; in this matter, Touzi had not tricked him.
When Li Huowang saw that the forest was rapidly shrinking, his body quickly misaligned and he directly passed through.
As soon as he arrived at Tianchen Country, Li Huowang noticed a situation that he hadn't paid attention to before; behind the crowd on a high platform stood an elderly man on stilts, his face painted with a fox play makeup.
His brow was dotted with red, his forehead imprinted with crimson, and the stilts under his feet were several ten meters high, firmly stepping on the ground. His body leaned forward, while both hands similarly bound to two sticks, erectly poking into the ground.
At the first glance Li Huowang had of him, he determined that this man was the Heart Pan connecting Da Qi and Tianchen.
Not for any reason other than his eyebrows jumping each time, creating a hole for sending Tianchen people over from his heart.
Here was a forest. Besides some enemies continuously being sent to Da Qi, there were only dozens of people from the main army.
Seeing them vigilantly surrounding the fox-faced elder on stilts further confirmed Li Huowang's thoughts.
"Let's go!" With Li Huowang's command, dozens of tentacles sprang out from within him, rapidly propping against the ground.
Cooperating with Li Huowang's Shrinking Ground into Inches, he charged at the fox-faced old man holding the Spinal Bone Sword at lightning speed.
As Li Huowang approached them, a historical portal suddenly appeared out of thin air, instantly blocking Li Huowang's path.
When Li Huowang saw Chan Du feasting through that portal, he understood that place was Da Qi. This person managed to use the Heart Pan's ability to attack.
And it wasn't just that; a portal immediately appeared above them as well. These two portals seemed to aim to use the edges to cut Li Huowang entirely.
Some new portals quickly appeared around Li Huowang. The opponent's utilization of their own ability was truly fiery and pure.
Li Huowang didn't wait for the two portals to intersect; he charged directly into the portal in front of him, stomping his right foot forcefully on his left foot. In that moment, he suspended and quickly spun above the intense fighting in Da Qi.
Seeing the two portals in the air misalign, only then did Li Huowang's body flash again, reentering that round portal.
However, unlike when he had emerged, upon Li Huowang's return to the crevices, the fox-faced old man had already descended from the high platform and hide, and the previous dozens of main army people had surrounded Li Huowang.
At the next moment, all the main army people raised their Jade White Jade Hands, aggressively reaching out towards Li Huowang.
If they touched him even a little, no matter if it was painful death or rot and flesh, it would leave him.
In this critical moment, Li Huowang's red Taoist Robe suddenly expanded; all puffed up, and Li Huowang instantly split into hundreds of people.
These replicas of Li Huowang rapidly flew in all directions like bees from a hive.
Hundreds of Jade Hands continuously waved among the swirling Li Huowang, some dodged, and some didn't. Those touched vanished instantly like clouds of smoke.
This was Li Sui's trick; knowing their special ability, he simply overwhelmed with numbers, giving them no time to react.
When the main army cleaned all the countless Li Huowang, the real Li Huowang had already taken advantage and escaped their encirclement.
Seeing Li Huowang standing on a tree crown in the distance, everyone from Tianchen Country turned their attention from Da Qi People and closed in on Li Huowang.
Moreover, as some artifacts were released by them, before Li Huowang could see clearly, they instantly vanished into the sky, believing their reinforcements would soon arrive.
