The Unruly Immortals

"Senior Brother Li, how are you? Are you injured?" Bai Lingmiao, her eyes covered by a white silk, approached Li Huowang, grabbing his sleeve and asking with a face full of concern, looking utterly worried.

Li Huowang looked at the Bai Lingmiao in front of him, opened his mouth, but for a moment didn't know what to say. He naturally recognized that the Bai Lingmiao before him was not her at all; she was Touzi in disguise.

Touzi's disguise was flawless in every aspect, but the one thing he couldn't mimic was Bai Lingmiao's buried grudge due to her entire family being killed.

Maybe others would be deceived by Touzi's acting, but having dealt with the tricks of the Oblivion Path for so long, Li Huowang had long seen through it.

Touzi obviously knew Li Huowang had seen through him, but he didn't care what Li Huowang thought, still continuing his performance. Bai Lingmiao stepped forward to block Li Huowang and Zuo Qiuyong Zhijian.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as she angrily chastised Zuo Qiuyong, "If you want to touch Senior Brother Li, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Zuo Qiuyong looked a bit dazed at Bai Lingmiao, but soon the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile, gradually turning into laughter.

He slapped his thigh and pointed at Bai Lingmiao, laughing, "Hahaha! Double the joy! Isn't this convenient? I thought you'd hide anywhere you like, hard to find, but you delivered yourself here!!"

As soon as Zuo Qiuyong finished speaking, the surrounding indomitable army, along with some bandits, began to encircle Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao.

Li Huowang gripped the spine sword hilt tightly, glancing at Bai Lingmiao's head of silver hair. He couldn't fathom what Touzi's intentions were, but since he was here, he was likely here to help.

Otherwise, from a fraudster's perspective, it was hard to understand why this guy would come into the encirclement to die.

"Be careful, don't be careless. These guys will bring everything inside you out, and that Zuo Qiuyong might be able to use Wu Sheng's old Heavenly Dao." Li Huowang seemed to be speaking to Bai Lingmiao, but in fact, he was reminding Touzi.

"Senior Brother Li, don't worry. I know, Wu Sheng's descent has revealed this bandit's base."

Upon hearing Bai Lingmiao's words, Zuo Qiuyong's smile gradually faded, and anger started to show. "Stubborn, let's see how long your stubbornness lasts!"

He waved the pink handkerchief in his hand, which instantly spread out, splitting into strands like long needles flying towards Li Huowang.

Li Huowang stomped his feet and charged at Zuo Qiuyong, quickly saying as he passed Bai Lingmiao, "I'll hold him off, hurry and do whatever you came to do!"

Before Bai Lingmiao could react, Li Huowang had already encountered the swarm of strands.

The spinal bone sword swung forcefully, fissures flew out quickly, and the edges of the two historical fissures collided with those lines.

To Li Huowang's surprise, not only did they not cut through, but they also emitted the sound of Gold Stone, a sight he encountered for the first time.

Long strands quickly fell from the sky like a heavy rain onto Li Huowang's body, yet these strands did not hinder Li Huowang at all.

His body flashed, drawing closer to Zuo Qiuyong. His body had already evaded, and what was pierced was merely the color of Li Huowang's evasion.

In a blink, as they were about to collide, Li Huowang's body sank and embedded into the ground. The sharp spinal bone sword emerged from the ground, aiming to slash at Zuo Qiuyong's legs.

Just as the battle-hardened Li Huowang felt the blade slicing through flesh from the sword hilt's sensation, with a "clang", a tremendous force came, almost shaking the spinal bone sword from his grip.

Li Huowang poked his head out of the ground, watching Zuo Qiuyong slowly descend nearby.

He was sure he had severed the guy's legs! But there he stood without a hint of injury, just like when Li Huowang ran him through the chest earlier.

"Oh ~ Li Huowang, is this all your tricks? Then I really have to look down on you." Zuo Qiuyong mocked Li Huowang.

Li Huowang glanced at Bai Lingmiao, embroiled in a skirmish with the indomitable army, grinding his teeth as he cursed, "You damn eunuch bastard! Cut the nonsense, fight if you want to!!"

Zuo Qiuyong wasn't the least bit upset by Li Huowang's retort, smiling contemptuously. "Eunuch? So what about eunuchs? Today even eunuchs can be emperors, today even eunuchs can be kings!"

"You need heirs, because you die, but as long as we live forever, there's no need for heirs."

With these words, Zuo Qiuyong spoke proudly, seemingly content with his identity.

"Well~~ That's it for the idle talk, time for the real deal." As Zuo Qiuyong raised his right hand, Li Huowang noticed three ornate white jade finger cuff rings etched with dragons and phoenixes, the kind only worn by palace maids.

As the opponent pointed those finger cuffs at him, Li Huowang swiftly dodged the aim.

But just as Li Huowang prepared to counterattack, his body began to change, his burnt body rapidly healing.

Before he could celebrate, his body started to move uncontrollably.

The hair on his chin, the hair on his head, even his fingernails and toenails, all grew with incredible speed.

"Is this... the Heavenly Dao once controlled by Wu Sheng?!" Watching the ragged growth of his nails, twisting like vines around the spinal bone sword, becoming a nuisance.

"Extremely Yin is daunting, extremely Yang is glorious; daunting from above, glorious emanating from below; balance achieved, all life blooms~~" Seeing Li Huowang's hair dragging the ground, Zuo Qiuyong showed a hint of smugness, seemingly having him completely under control.

"Is that all? Is that all you got?!" With Li Huowang's roar, his nails, hair, and beard all snapped instantly, freeing him from the constraints of growth.

He wielded the sword with one hand and charged at Zuo Qiuyong, but after only a few steps, he suddenly felt pain in his hands.

Li Huowang quickly glanced down, shocked to find that the nails which had grown wildly had now rapidly receded, and the ten nails retreated into his fingers, leaving his nails bloody.

If it was just the nails retreating, it would be bearable, but more importantly, Li Huowang felt the skin that had just grown was thinning rapidly! Everything about his body, as long as it had grown, was retreating quickly.

Every old wound Li Huowang had ever suffered on his body began to reappear, every bone he had ever broken returned to its original fractured state.
