Mutated Tao

Li Huowang laughed even harder when he sensed how angry they were. He wasn’t afraid at all.

“You won’t have the chance to laugh anymore!” The umbrella in his chest suddenly spun, cutting off Li Sui’s tentacles.

Ru Shou unfolded the ragged umbrella, tearing Li Huowang’s body apart into several pieces. His blood stained the water, turning it crimson red while his flesh descended into the depths of the muddy water.

Ru Shou held onto his umbrella and smiled at the pieces of Li Huowang’s flesh.

Suddenly, black tentacles sprouted out from the pieces of Li Huowang’s flesh. They stuck and pulled the chunk of flesh together before recombining Li Huowang’s body together.

“Are you stupid? Did you really think there was no ambush just because I said so? Why don’t you look around?”

Li Huowang had just said that when the water quickly subsided. Someone had blocked off the hole in the river bank.

Li Huowang stepped on the muddy ground, now completely free from the river’s influence. He looked at his enemies and his allies.

There was the Righteous Monastery, the Antrabhara Temple, the Luo Sect, the Mo family, the Ao Jing Sect, the soldiers, and even several other sects that Li Huowang had never seen before. All of them encircled the Dharma Sect.

This was supposed to be an ambush to kill Li Huowang, but the situation had completely changed. Li Huowang now had the advantage.

Li Huowang inspected his enemies again. Due to how turbid the water was before, he had only seen them as shadows in the water. Now, he could see them clearly.

He recognized some of them, including Ru Shou.

But the most conspicuous one was a large pile of wet hair. On closer inspection, Li Huowang realized that they were the water monkeys. They huddled each other to protect something in the middle.

Their strength had greatly diminished without the river water.

Beside the water monkeys were four chicken-feet men. They all had a veil of viscera covering their faces. Li Huowang recognized them because he fought them before.

Beside them was someone he had never seen before. It was someone wearing a stone mask. The mask’s eyes were empty, with rounded ears and a tall nose. The mask’s mouth was slightly agape. Li Huowang had to admit that it looked somewhat divine.

It resembled the mask he had seen in the Liang Kingdom’s palace. The difference was that those were made from copper, while the one in front of him was made of stone.

The final person was a hunchbacked man carrying a large gourd on his back. Half of his face was average, while the other half had been transformed into a large trailing lump of flesh. Various organs grew on the tumor on his face as he dragged it along the ground. The lump of the tumor also pulsated according to the person’s breath.

Li Huowang wasn’t sure what was happening, but he felt his body itching, so he scratched his chin with his arms. As he did, he noticed several red welts on his arms, resembling mosquito bites.

This was the battlefield. There was no reason to introduce themselves. The Righteous Monastery was the first one to attack.

“Mo lo… Di li ni… Mo suan li tai…” The flesh Bodhisattva was seated behind the Abbots. As they chanted, everything around the Bodhisattva turned into flesh and blood, regardless of what it was. Mud, stone, wood, and trees slowly transformed into flesh, including the ground beneath the Dharma Sect.

The low roar of a dragon came from the middle of the group of water monkeys. Rain began pouring heavily, and the group of water monkeys scattered.

A woman with fish-scale tattoos appeared from the group of water monkeys. Li Huowang recognized her tattoo as the same one Yang Xiaohai’s family used. She was a boat person!

However, compared to the boat people who worked on the sea for food, the one in front of Li Huowang appeared to hold even more power. She smiled and revealed razor-sharp teeth. She was holding a statue covered in fish skin. It was small, but it gave Li Huowang a bad feeling.

“Come!” Peng Longteng rode her horse as she threw Li Huowang towards the woman. It was clear that she was the one who had brought the rain.

Suddenly, a bunch of limbs covered in white tassels covered the group of water monkeys and the woman.

The organs of the water monkeys shifted rapidly in different directions. Li Huowang remembered what they were—the white tassels of the Lion Dance Palace!

Even they had come to help for the sake of their survival.

Seeing that someone was dealing with her, Li Huowang changed directions and charged toward the man with the tumor.

Li Huowang didn’t dare let his guard down in this life-or-death situation. He wasn’t sure what abilities the man with the tumor had, so he decided to use his cultivation to test the waters first.

Li Huowang glared at the man and slowly turned him to stone. The petrification process had almost been completed when the stone suddenly cracked open. Yellow smoke billowed out from the gourd and flowed towards Li Huowang.

“Longteng, go and see what kind of abilities he has!”

“Charge!” Peng Longteng kicked her horse and charged into the yellow smoke. Her target was the cracked statue.

When the yellow smoke touched her body, it quickly made her mutate. Screaming mouths grew on her body, along with several weird hands. They quickly seeped out from the chinks of her armor and continued to grow.

Her horse grew larger too. Its legs split into six before splitting into eight.

Several strange iridescent liquids dripped from Peng Longteng’s armor onto the ground. It somehow gave life to inanimate objects.

Li Huowang had seen the same liquid before! It covered the entirety of the Qi Kingdom and could mutate everything!

God Yu’er is dead. Did something snatch its Heavenly Dao? Or is this the Heavenly Dao of another Siming? Li Huowang waved his arms to turn Peng Longteng into an illusion again.

But something was wrong. Peng Longteng’s body continued to mutate. She didn’t turn into an illusion. Under the influence of the strange liquid, Li Huowang’s control over her had somehow been lost.

Peng Longteng was currently fused to her horse, and she started becoming slower and slower. She soon fell onto the ground and continued to mutate before becoming a strange fleshy gourd that continued to produce the strange liquid.

The strange man emerged from the back of the gourd and patted it before revealing his black teeth with a smile. “I am Tian Wu. I greet Daoist Li.”
