Mutated Tao

Chapter 607: Xu Shou

Li Huowang had no idea what happened, but he knew that it was a good thing that he was real once again.

Li Huowang attacked immediately, afraid that he'd become fake once again.

“Father, my bronze coin sword is missing,” Li Sui said.

However, Li Huowang was focused on the bare-chested man kneeling on the ground as well as the five Strayed Ones. He had no idea what Li Sui was talking about.

“Die!” Li Huowang swung his spine sword toward the five Strayed Ones.

The praying Strayed Ones didn't expect that Li Huowang would become real once again.

The heads of the five Strayed Ones were sent to the Qi Kingdom.

“Touch your head! Your head is missing!” Li Huowang exclaimed.

The five Strayed Ones heard him and tried to touch their head to no avail. They went limp and fell to the ground the moment they realized that they were dead. They never got up again.

Their gazes met in mid-air, and that was when the deck split open like a monstrous maw. The sharp edges of the wooden floor engulfed the two and shut tight.

The wooden spikes were like jagged teeth as they closed up.

The cabin became silent and devoid of any living being.

The dark clouds in the skies expanded as time ticked by. From the darkest part of the clouds appeared a single eyeball. It was the Sacred Mountain Ghost Eye that Doulao had taken from the Liang Kingdom.

Just then, a blood-red maggot chewed through the wooden floorboards and consumed everything around it.

However, it was just the beginning; more and more maggots chewed through the wooden boards.

Soon, the wooden boards were riddled with holes, and Li Huowang could see the skies once more.

Li Huowang’s chest was hollow, and the cavity was filled with wriggling maggots. He didn’t hesitate to sacrifice his organs to use Five Elements Intercalation against the Twisted One of Doulao.

Li Huowang obtained a tremendous amount of power in exchange for his life. A whistling sound echoed; the air itself screeched as Li Huowang thrust his spine sword into the Twisted One’s bulging belly, pinning the latter to the wooden boards.

Li Huowang twisted his sword, and the dark clouds spread even faster.

It was useless, but the Twisted One extended his arms and tried pushing the spine sword upward.

“You refuse to die?” Li Huowang asked. His tentacles launched the Twisted One into the air, and he thrust his sword into the Twisted One's chest once again.

The sword sunk deeper, and Li Huowang pinned the Twisted One into the wooden board once again.

At last, Li Huowang had fulfilled Ji Zai's request.

Rumble!

The dark skies abruptly changed, and Li Huowang phased through the spine sword!

The spine sword was sticking out of him, but he felt no pain.

Li Huowang instantly realized that he had become a "Lie," but it wasn't just him. The massive wooden ship and the stretch of the ocean around them were vanishing in real time. These "Truths" were vanishing and were being replaced by "Lies."

However, it didn't last long.

The "Truth" reappeared as fast as it disappeared, replacing the "Lie."

Qiu Chibao, the old monk, and Jin Shanzhao suddenly realized that they had fleshly bodies.

“I’m alive? Have I really been resurrected? I can do good deeds again?!” the old monk exclaimed, jumping around on the spot.

What’s happening? Li Huowang unknowingly looked up. “Is this how Natural Disasters occur?”

Doulao's Twisted One had been dealt with, so Ji Zai was most likely in the middle of snatching away Yinyang Doulao’s Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies.

Natural Disasters occurred whenever a Siming was in the middle of robbing another Siming's Heavenly Dao.

Realizing that she had a fleshly body once again, Peng Longteng decisively abandoned Li Huowang and ran toward the gunwale.

She was about to climb the gunwale and jump overboard, but her figure phased through it—she was an illusion once more.

“Ah~ I'm an illusion again?” the old monk said, sounding disappointed upon sensing the change.

“Is it over?” Li Huowang muttered. He closed his eyes and felt his surroundings.

The Natural Disaster was over, which meant his Siming, Ji Zai, had completely taken over Doulao’s Heavenly Daos of Truth and Lies.

It was a good thing to have control over two Heavenly Daos, but Li Huowang felt nothing.

Just then, a strange whirling sound echoed from above him.

Li Huowang looked up, and the strong wind blowing across the scene sent Li Huowang's hair flying backward.

The red lights up above revealed that Li Huowang was staring at a helicopter.

Li Huowang smiled when he saw the words painted on the underside of the helicopter.

“So Old Liu still called the police.”

The situation was out of control, and Li Huowang knew that it wouldn’t be easy to deal with the aftermath, especially when there was an entire yacht of corpses around him.

He looked down indifferently at the dying Xu Shou.

At least my parents and Yang Na will be safe now.

Li Huowang stared at the mastermind and felt extremely repulsed. He bent down and grabbed the man's sunglasses for himself.

“I'm not blaming you for anything, even though you've put me in such a tight spot. You even made me lose an arm. Anyway, be careful in your next life.”

Xu Shou’s lip quivered as if he wanted to say something. His hands, saddled with rings, were pressing on the wound that the bronze coin sword had made.

“Hm? What did you say?” Li Huowang got closer, and his pupils constricted.

He realized that Xu Shou without the sunglasses looked extremely familiar to him!

A strange face appeared in his mind. He soon recalled the nuns covered in filth. He had seen Xu Shou in the Benevolent Nunnery!

“Xu’er? Are you Xu’er?!” Li Huowang hurriedly asked, "Are you really the son of Abbess Jing Xin?!"

Li Huowang closely examined Xu Shou and became even more certain that Xu Shuo resembled the shriveled man hidden in the Abbess’ folds of fat.

The man was none other than the son of the Abbess, and he was a Strayed One as well!

Li Huowang felt his hair standing on end. He felt like his skull itself was expanding uncontrollably as a torrent of information surged into his brain like a deluge. He was fine just a few seconds ago, but now, he was filled with many different thoughts.
