Chapter 289: Zuowang Dao

Chapter 289 The Way of Forgetting

"Clang." The pale white blade was drawn, Li Huowang standing between Blind Chen and those things.

"Kill them!" As Li Huowang gave the order, others turned their spears toward the things hidden within the clay statues.

Li Huowang was confident he could handle them; since even Blind Chen could deal with these things, there was no reason he, who had defeated Blind Chen, could not do so.

"Thump thump thump!" Gao Zhijian stepped heavily, charging straight at them, knocking down a swath like an iron man.

However, no matter how many times Gao Zhijian knocked over the clay figures, they would slowly stand up again, beginning to surround him in reverse.

A group rushed forward to relieve Gao Zhijian, yet the situation improved little; no matter how many clay statues fell, they would eventually rise, even Li Huowang's two swords were ineffective.

"Help me up! Give me back the mirror!" Hearing Blind Chen's voice from where he lay on the ground in the distance, Li Huowang swiftly flipped like a swallow, withdrawing from the battle.

He first glanced at Blind Chen, then kicked the bamboo basket beside him into his hands.

Blind Chen immediately pulled out the Bagua Mirror, bit the pads of his index and middle fingers into his mouth, and quickly drew upon the mirror surface with his bleeding fingers.

"Spiritual light shines forever, soul exists where the mirror exists, soul vanishes when the mirror perishes, fearless and unafraid, follow my command, heavenly and earthly righteous qi flows through forms, metal and stone cannot open, sincerity reaches all! Open!"

A blinding beam of light instantly shot from within the blood-smeared Bagua Mirror.

This light illuminated the entire dim environment, and wherever the light touched the clay statues, they melted like snow meeting the sun.

When those things completely vanished from the ground, Blind Chen appeared greatly drained, lying on the ground with a deathly pale face.

Li Huowang hurriedly helped him up carefully, "Thank you, Senior Chen."

"You... get away!! I still don't trust you!" Blind Chen said this, but did not refuse Li Huowang's assistance.

At this moment Li Huowang saw people peering from the alley entrance and behind windows; if they didn't leave now, the whole village might notice them.

"Hiss, are you trying to shake me to death? How will we travel tonight? Find a place quickly for me to heal!"

While the villagers of Gan Yuan Village were gathering around Li Huowang's recent battlefield to discuss, Li Huowang had already brought the injured Blind Chen to an uninhabited woodshed to settle down.

Li Huowang pulled the cork from a small bottle, carefully pouring the powdered medicinal powder onto Blind Chen's wounds.

Taking advantage of the time treating him, Li Huowang told Blind Chen everything that had happened to him previously.

"So what you're saying? You kid were also tricked by the Way of Forgetting? Hey! If true, the Way of Forgetting buried themselves quite deep, probably starting from the Knife Creditors it was fake."

Li Huowang sighed, putting the cork back into the bottle, "Who says otherwise? Don't know when the Way of Forgetting targeted me, I clearly didn't show my face..."

Li Huowang stopped speaking here; he could not casually mention being a Heart Essence.

Blind Chen tilted his ear listening to Li Huowang's voice, finding no follow-up after a while, he snorted coldly, "I still don't trust you! When dawn comes, we part ways! Whether what you say is true or false, I naturally have ways to distinguish."

"Senior Chen, you're injured like this, how can you walk? Aren't you afraid of danger halfway?"

"Hmph! Spare me! Being with you is what costs me my life! Look whose fault my injuries actually are." After speaking, Blind Chen turned his back, showing the back of his head to him.

Li Huowang was weighing his words, considering how to persuade Blind Chen, when his body sank slightly, "Shh, someone is coming."

Footsteps outside the woodshed made everyone inside hold their breath; it seemed the host family who came to watch the fun had returned.

Gradually the footsteps disappeared, seeming the host family had gone to sleep.

Just as they let out a sigh of relief, the footsteps sounded again, denser than before.

The footsteps vanished soon after, but immediately appeared again.

This time they stopped in front of the woodshed, "Bang bang bang," the door was knocked.

Following Li Huowang's finger gesture, Chun Xiaoman cautiously walked over and opened the door.

Outside stood the clay statue boy seated beneath, standing there, staring at everyone inside with his hollow large eyes.

"Crack," the clay statue boy split open, some insect-like segmented roots extending from within.

However, the sound of the clay statue shattering seemed to have an echo, identical sounds continuously rang out behind Li Huowang.

"Behind me? Behind me there is clearly nothing, only... a wall."

Li Huowang turned around in shock, seeing various cracked clay Bodhisattvas hanging on the wall in various Buddhist poses, glaring fiercely at him.

"Swish," their cracked bodies surged out like a tilting tsunami straight ahead.

At this moment, it was too late for Blind Chen to grab the mirror; Li Huowang hesitated not, taking out pliers and clamping down hard on his eyeball.

"Boom," as the transparent aqueous humor inside the eyeball splattered everywhere, the Arhat in the air instantly wrapped in a strange light film, falling straight to the ground.

When they rushed out, Li Huowang shockedly discovered all surrounding rooftops were piled high with clay statues, all eyeing him with predatory intent.

"Senior Chen, hurry up!" Li Huowang looked at everything before him with a terrible expression.

"Do not worry! These clay statues are merely posturing." Behind Li Huowang, Blind Chen opened the bamboo basket Gouwa handed over and began searching.

"Pierce!" With a sound, two sharp daggers instantly stabbed into Li Huowang's heart chamber.

Looking down at the bloody dagger tips, trembling, he turned around to look at Blind Chen behind him.

However, seeing Li Huowang about to be killed by himself, Blind Chen's expression was actually more terrified than Li Huowang's.

He looked fearfully at his own hand, "Little Ear, this really wasn't me! My body suddenly became uncontrollable!"

Speaking of which, Blind Chen's body stopped, his aura strangely changing, the white eyes in his sockets slowly moved down, a pair of heterochromatic pupils appeared before Li Huowang, wrinkles on his face rapidly decreasing, finally transforming until he looked exactly like Li Huowang.

From those pupils, Li Huowang spoke.

"Haha! They trick others and evil spirits, that is outdated; this time I tried a new trick, tricking myself! How is it, Red Center Boss? By the way, I learned this trick from you."
