Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 487 - Change

Chapter 487 - Change

Li Huowang had seen many things in this crazy world, but Li Huowang had no idea what Lian Zhibei was going to use to sever Bai Lingmiao’s connection with the Immortal families.

Bai Lingmiao seemed particularly shy about her attire to the point where her ears even turned red. Her hands covered her front, but they couldn’t conceal her back at the same time.

“Miss, why are you shrinking? Stand up straight," Lian Zhibei urged.

Bai Lingmiao stood up straight. Lian Zhibei took out three incense sticks and inserted them into the door frame. She then knelt down on both knees and kowtowed toward the door several times.

Afterward, she lit one of the incense sticks and bowed three times toward the door before raising the smoking incense and thrusting it toward her own cheeks.

An incessant crackling noise echoed as the dark red incense pierced her left cheek and emerged from the right side of her face. Lian Zhibei’s voice became coarse as she exclaimed. “Tiger God, arise!”

Lian Zhibei lifted a hook-shaped tool, and it emitted a cold gleam in her hand as she pierced her upper and lower lips. Drops of bright red blood fell and landed on the paper talisman covering her belly.

Li Huowang frowned deeply at the sight. Lian Zhibei's self harm seemed somewhat similar to the practices of the Ao Jing Sect. Could she be a member of one of Ao Jing Sect's branchs?

While Li Huowang was deep in thought, Lian Zhibei pulled out a row of large red firecrackers from her large bundle. She lit one of the firecrackers with the incense from her cheekbone, and crackling noises filled the room.

The white smoke from the incense intertwined with the murky smoke from the firecrackers, covering the entire room in a murky mist. Lian Zhibei then grabbed a piece of wood from her bundle and raised it up high into the air before slamming it forcefully on the ground, “The sound of battle resounds through the rivers and seas! The divine light bursts forth, and the Tiger God shall accept this explosion!”

A deep roar akin to a tiger's roar echoed, and the murky mist quickly rolled toward Lian Zhibei’s open mouth.

Soon, the firecrackers vanished, and Lian Zhibei’s eyes became completely white as she collapsed to the ground. Her plump figure contorted into positions that a normal person couldn’t possibly do.

Li Huowang instinctively drew his purple-tassel sword at the sight, and his expression was exceptionally serious. Lian Zhibei had a nonchalant attitude to everything, and she seemed like a greenhorn, but her strength could not be underestimated at all.

After all, she was daring enough to confront such spiritual beings by herself.

Lian Zhibei opened her bleeding mouth, revealing the hook-shaped tool from earlier. The next moment, she emitted a growl, which sounded similar to a tiger's growl.

“Senior Li? Why is there a tiger in our house?” Bai Lingmiao asked, trembling as she watched Lian Zhibei on the ground.

Just then, Lian Zhibei whipped around and stared at the patterns on Bai Lingmiao’s figure with her white eyes. Then, she bent her legs and pounced on Bai Lingmiao.

“What?!”

Li Huowang’s bronze coin sword and Li Sui’s tentacles flew to protect Bai Lingmiao, but they stopped halfway upon seeing that Lian Zhibei had flown over Bai Lingmiao's head rather than on her.

Crack!

Lian Zhibei opened her mouth wide enough that it seemed like it was going to tear apart before gnawing at something on the ground.

Bai Lingmiao grabbed her head in pain, and the cinnabar patterns on her figure trembled violently before shrinking rapidly. Li Huowang’s keen hearing then caught distant screams, and he felt relieved at what he was wearing. The screams were coming from the Immortal families!

“Miaomiao, hold on!”

Whoosh!

Lian Zhibei leaped over Bai Lingmiao’s head once again, viciously biting at the air. The screams of unknown origin grew louder. As Lian Zhibei passed over Bai Lingmiao’s head for the fifth time, the blindfolded Bai Lingmiao sensed something amiss.

Bai Lingmiao's newfound ability had allowed her to notice that the Second Deity, who was standing in the courtyard, was becoming more and more transparent. Her special "eyes" pierced the red veil, and she shuddered at what she saw beyond the red veil.

The beastly features that belonged to the Immortal families had almost been gnawed away into nothingness. As Lian Zhibei bit and chewed, the scales, fur, and feathers vanished rapidly.

The Second Deity’s face started quivering amidst everything.

“She wants to remove the Immortal families from my body! But the Second Deity will cease to exist without them!”

“Stop! Senior Li, make her stop! The Second Deity is about to vanish!” Bai Lingmiao shouted as tears streamed down her face.

“Miaomiao, don’t worry. Hold on a little longer!”

Li Huowang steeled his heart before turning around and walking into the courtyard. He saw the Second Deity staring silently at a short tree. Li Huowang walked up to the Second Deity and lifted her red veil to see that half of her face was missing.

“You...” Li Huowang glanced at Bai Lingmiao inside the house, and then he turned to the vanishing Second Deity.

Lian Zhibei tugged violently at the Second Deity, which made her stagger. The Second Deity looked at him, and her only eye radiated a strong light of reluctance. “Live well, and do not let her down. Also, stop acting like a weakling in the future.”

Something seemed to be vanishing from deep inside the Second Deity, and her aura gradually became similar to Bai Lingmiao’s aura.

“Senior Li! She won't be able to come back! Once the Immortal families are gone, the Second Deity will suffer a true death!” Bai Lingmiao exclaimed. Her words had yet to finish echoing in mid-air when the Second Deity fell to the ground.

“Lian Zhibei, wait!" Li Huowang exclaimed, turning to Lian Zhibei. "Something's wrong!”

However, Lian Zhibei seemed to have gone mad and did not respond to him.

When Li Huowang saw Lian Zhibei leaping over Bai Lingmiao’s head once again, his expression turned fierce as he dashed toward Lian Zhibei. He kicked Lian Zhibei’s waist, sending her crashing onto the wall.

A furious roar resounded, and the white-eyed Lian Zhibei glared at Li Huowang. The oppressive aura that she was radiating made it difficult for Li Huowang to breathe.

“Sorry, there's something wrong! Wake up!” Li Huowang exclaimed to no avail.

Lian Zhibei stomped powerfully before charging at Li Huowang.

Li Huowang inserted his sword into his own mouth and bit down. The next moment, Li Huowang pulled out the sword and swung it toward Lian Zhibei. The sword carried with it Li Huowang's bloody teeth and the teeth flew toward Lian Zhibei’s head.

Li Huowang gripped the purple-tassel sword and followed closely behind the teeth.

The room instantly became chaotic, and it became even more chaotic when Li Sui joined the battle. Soon, the battle was uncontrollable, but it was eventually under control as Li Huowang's sword pierced Lian Zhibei’s chest, while Lian Zhibei’s sharp teeth stripped Li Huowang’s arms off of its skin.

The incense stick in Lian Zhibei’s cheeks extinguished slowly, allowing Lian Zhibei to recover her sanity.

“What’s going on? What's happening?” Lian Zhibei asked. She looked down at the sword sticking out of her chest, and she cast a bewildered look at Li Huowang, especially after sensing the extreme pain radiating from her wound.
