Chapter 174: Gone Mad

Chapter 174 Gone Mad

"Stop quickly! If you go over, you will die too!"

Watching the Bodhisattva draw nearer, a rare trace of deep fear colored Dan Yangzi's voice, yet Li Huowang at this moment appeared remarkably broad-minded.

"It matters not! To allow Master to attain the Dao and become immortal, what does this disciple's single life amount to!!"

Li Huowang's actions, combined with the pull in the breeze, even as Dan Yangzi struggled in every way, they still slowly yet steadfastly moved toward the open Mao Gate.

As the circular white halo behind the Bodhisattva's head shone upon the two.

The feathers wrapped like asphalt on Dan Yangzi began to gradually transform, metamorphosing into the exact same white gauze as on that Bodhisattva.

Whether writhing flesh or twisting everted viscera on Dan Yangzi's body, any organ once wrapped by the white gauze fell completely into silent death.

When Dan Yangzi felt his own body gradually dying, he felt intense unwillingness, he had not yet become immortal, he did not want to die so wretchedly.

"Huowang! Why be so absolute! Your physical body is still usable, if we just go down now, you walk your road, I walk my bridge! We shall never meet again!"

Yet before Li Huowang could speak, one of the bandit-like hallucinations immediately reminded him.

"Youngster! Do not believe him, this old fellow has not a single true word in his mouth! His mind is poisonous!"

Just as Dan Yangzi viciously glared at that hallucination, a layer of misty white gauze covered his head, that head tilted, falling completely into dead silence.

Dan Yangzi's other youthful head saw this scene, completely terrified, he instantly lost all shame, beginning to beg Li Huowang.

"Huowang! You won, you won okay? Going on like this, we will both die! And heaven knows what ghost thing that is! Might end up worse than death!"

"I'll kowtow to you okay? You be my master okay? Have mercy and spare me!"

Bits of thin gauze covered Li Huowang's eyes, yet he laughed incredibly happily at this moment.

"That won't do, Master, you promised back then, we were to become immortal together."

As soon as the words fell, they finally passed through that invisible and intangible membrane, they entered behind the gate.

In the instant of entering the gate, Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi's bodies suddenly separated.

Looking at the translucent other party in the distance, not yet having spoken half a sentence.

Like a bubble, with a pop, Dan Yangzi's terrifying body instantly scattered.

Dan Yangzi, who had tortured Li Huowang for so long, dissipated just like an ant, dying without sound or scent.

Immediately following, some objects of different colors scattered from within Dan Yangzi, drifting toward the depths of that doorway.

When Li Huowang saw those things, he instantly understood what those things were, yet could not accurately express them with normal language.

If one must speak of it, it was desire, greed, obsession, hatred, intent to kill.

Although Li Huowang did not die like Dan Yangzi, his situation was nowhere better.

Like a mountain-sized Bodhisattva from within that white gauze, lifting a rotten giant bone claw toward him to grab.

But just as that huge shadow was about to cover him, from an extremely distant place, came an extremely thin sound like a suona.

Once this sound arose, everything in Li Huowang's eyes began to distort, at this moment, he simultaneously possessed five completely different visions.

In one of these aspects, the Formless Bodhisattva before him was piled up from corpses gone into death.

Moreover beneath her shone an umbilical cord, not only her, all things behind the Mao Gate had an umbilical cord tied beneath them.

Not only did vision distort, everything of Li Huowang began to distort, some perceptions not belonging to him similarly stuffed themselves in.

Gradually Li Huowang discovered he began to move, drifting rapidly toward the world of Baiyu Jing.

The further inward he drifted, the more movements Li Huowang perceived.

"No... no no!! No!!"

Li Huowang began to gradually understand this world, yet these things similarly almost burst him completely.

Amidst Li Huowang's desperate screams, he who gradually understood everything, continuously fell toward the depths of Baiyu Jing.

When everything around rapidly reversed, when Li Huowang who completely understood everything saw the last scene, it was a pile of pain and torment approaching him, that was Ba Hui!

————————————

Within the Four Qi States, on a scenic hillside, a group of people wearing hemp and mourning were surrounding a new grave, scattering copper coins and burning paper ingots while wailing there.

"Senior Brother Li! Boo hoo hoo~ How did you die just like that, now that you're dead, what shall we do?"

Doggy Boy knelt there with red-rimmed eyes wailing loudly, halfway through crying, he quickly silenced himself, secretly stealing a glance at Bai Lingmiao beside him.

Compared to his exaggeration, Bai Lingmiao appeared exceptionally calm, not shedding a single tear, burning one paper after another.

Even when there were no more papers at hand, she still continued sending them off there.

Seeing this scene, Doggy Boy sighed, sniffed his nose, then laid before that tombstone again to wail loudly.

"Senior Brother Li, with no illness or disaster how did you just leave! Without you backing us, won't we be bullied to death by others?"

Just as he exerted effort wailing for the dead, he suddenly saw that grave mound begin to arch slightly.

"Hmm?" Doggy Boy thought his eyes deceived him, when he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, a hand suddenly thrust from the dirt pile before him.

"Oh my god!! The corpse rose!!" Doggy Boy was scared and immediately fell to the ground.

Bai Lingmiao beside him however reacted first, her emotions suddenly collapsing she threw herself on the grave pile desperately scraping at the dirt.

Soon other senior brothers and sisters also reacted, rushing up one after another to help.

Yet before they could dig open, without any warning, Li Huowang wearing burial clothes suddenly appeared on the grave mound.

His expression twisted, he tightly hugged his own head, facial skin twitching as he muttered to himself, looking very frightening.

"Senior Brother Li!" When Bai Lingmiao rushed up with tears streaming, she was however grabbed by Li Huowang.

Those bloodshot eyes intensely stared at the young girl before. "Alive! All alive! This world is alive!!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Man beside him who prepared to draw sword immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine, not a corpse rising, it is Senior Brother Li indeed."

Facing such a strange Li Huowang, Bai Lingmiao however cared not for fear, looking at him with great worry. "Senior Brother Li, what exactly is wrong with you?"

"Listen to me! I know exactly where things are wrong!!" Li Huowang's hysterical screaming voice suppressed everything around.

"This world is alive! Being alive means what happens to people, it will similarly happen!"

"I am not mad!! It is this world that is mad!! It has gone mad!!"

After speaking these words, Li Huowang fiercely flung Bai Lingmiao onto the ground.

One finger pointing at the gloomy sky above, one finger pointing at his own chest, Li Huowang extremely obsessively repeated again and again.

"It is mad, it is mad! It is much madder than me!!"

After this sentence was repeated over ten times, Li Huowang who was tight as a string, his body suddenly went soft falling toward the ground.
