Chapter 338: Sitting in Forgetfulness Tao

"Clang!" A metallic sound resonated as Li Huowang's Purple Tassel Sword collided heavily with Hong Da's rusty saber.

With a cracking sound, the rusty saber shattered into pieces. The broken blade fragments spun, their edges now facing Li Huowang's face, aiming to pierce it.

Facing this potentially fatal attack, Li Huowang showed no intention of defending. Instead, he tightened his grip on the sword hilt with his right hand and exerted a sudden force, aiming to decapitate Hong Da in what seemed like a desperate life-for-life trade.

But just then, a strong gust of wind swept past, signaling Xin Chi's arrival. He raised his colossal right foot and brought it down forcefully towards Li Huowang.

In a flash, a dark shadow emerged from Li Huowang's Daoist robe, drawing a copper coin sword and thrusting it directly towards the sole of Xin Chi's foot.

It was Li Sui's tentacle, acting as Li Huowang's defense against Xin Chi's sneak attack.

Li Sui and Li Huowang, effectively functioning as one entity, managed to fend off both opponents for a short while without losing ground.

However, there were three opponents, and their dual functionality was clearly insufficient.

With a dull thud, Li Huowang, his face impaled with blade fragments, violently spat out a large mouthful of blood. An immense force propelled him into the rubble, raising clouds of dust.

Trembling, Li Huowang slowly rose, his internal organs feeling almost dislodged. He then realized he was once again encircled by the three individuals.

Just then, Tuoba Danqing, who had just ambushed Li Huowang, spoke, "Don't hit his back; this Sit-Forget Daoist is wearing armor underneath, it's very tough."

Li Huowang swallowed a mouthful of blood and indignantly shouted at Tuoba Danqing, "Brother Tuoba! Look at these tentacles on me! Ask yourself: Can a Sit-Forget Daoist truly impersonate someone like this?"

Tuoba Danqing gazed at the black, viscous tentacles, entangled with the copper coin sword, protruding from Li Huowang's abdomen. A flicker of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

But after a moment's thought, he looked up and said to Hong Da, "Lend me a saber."

Hong Zhong, dressed as a beggar, opened his clothing and selected the longest blade from a collection of gleaming knives, then tossed it over.

This action clearly demonstrated his distrust of Li Huowang, rendering further words pointless.

"Explain what! Kill them all! Kill! Kill! Kill!!" A commanding female voice suddenly boomed through the air.

As a surge of heat rushed to Li Huowang's head, he stomped his feet hard on the ground and charged towards Tuoba Danqing, who was preparing to receive the saber.

If he couldn't afford to be cornered, he had to break through their encirclement first. Tuoba Danqing, still unarmed, was the weakest link!

Monk Xin Chi, meanwhile, attempted to rush over and assist. With bloodshot eyes, Li Huowang raised his Purple Tassel Sword, thrust it directly into his mouth, and slashed violently, prying off half his teeth and gums along with a section of his cheek.

Through the gash on the side of his face, Li Huowang's exposed, bloody, and mangled oral cavity was visible.

Li Huowang took a deep breath and violently spat in Xin Chi's direction. Blood-stained teeth flew from the gaping wound, scattering towards the monk like scattered petals.

Having repelled Xin Chi with his teeth, Li Huowang raised his Purple Tassel Sword and Li Sui's copper coin sword, both aimed directly at Tuoba Danqing.

Tuoba Danqing crossed his arms and blocked forcefully. The silk on his forearms tore apart inch by inch, revealing a string of bright red walnuts underneath.

With an extremely grating sound, Li Huowang's Purple Tassel Sword struck the walnuts with considerable force.

Surprisingly, the Purple Tassel Sword, which could cut through iron as easily as mud, was actually clamped by the walnuts. This object was clearly no ordinary item.

The string of walnuts trembled slightly, as if harboring something within, and dozens of malevolent gazes shot forth from them, pinning Li Huowang's head.

"Don't get close to him! This guy is a Gu cultivator!" Hong Zhong, who had been absent for a while, suddenly appeared, shouting a warning to Li Huowang.

At this critical moment, Li Huowang thought to himself, "Li Sui, now!"

The black tentacles, wrapped around the copper coin sword, thrust directly towards Tuoba Danqing's wide-open chest.

With a crisp "clink," the copper coin sword stopped against his opponent's chest, unable to pierce it.

His clothes tore, revealing a gleaming golden longevity lock on his chest.

Just as they were in a stalemate, Li Huowang's ears twitched. He heard the trembling approach of Xin Chi charging from behind him.

"Hahaha, Sit-Forget Daoist, what now? Didn't see that coming, did you?"

Staring at Tuoba Danqing's smug face, Li Huowang opened his mouth and spat the two teeth he had deliberately held onto directly at him.

The hard teeth instantly shattered upon impact, spraying a mixture of blood and fragments across half of Tuoba Danqing's body and face.

"Ahhh!!!"

Kicking him in the chest, Li Huowang finally broke free from the trio's encirclement.

Just as he sighed in relief and left the collapsed temple, he coincidentally crashed head-on into someone: himself.

Both Li Huowangs paused in surprise, staring at the face identical to their own.

"Er Jiu! Kill the one in front of you! That's a Sit-Forget Daoist in disguise!"

Upon hearing this, Li Huowang watched as the doppelganger in front of him recoiled in extreme disgust. The doppelganger drew the copper coin sword from behind his back and charged forward with a ferocious expression.

"Sit-Forget Daoists!! You cursed deceivers dare to impersonate me! Prepare to die!!"

In an instant, Li Huowang, who had just escaped one predicament, found himself facing a pincer attack.

Xin Chi charged forward just then, his massive foot descending on Li Huowang like Mount Tai.

Strangely, however, the Li Huowang standing on the spot passed directly through Xin Chi's foot and reappeared on the other side.

Xin Chi paused, slightly stunned, as the Li Huowang beneath his foot slowly sank into the mud.

This was merely an illusion; the true Li Huowang had already vanished, unseen by anyone.

Li Huowang, having eluded everyone, was now hidden on the rafters of the nearby Buddhist temple, grimly observing the four individuals below.

"Damn it! This Sit-Forget Daoist actually knows earth-escaping techniques!" the Li Huowang on the ground exclaimed in frustration.

Just then, Xin Chi, his eyes filled with caution, approached the Li Huowang on the ground and spoke, his voice audible to the other two.

"Beware, this person is a Sit-Forget Daoist!"

The moment he said this, before the other two could react, the Li Huowang on the ground instantly widened his eyes.

"Master Xin Chi, what do you mean? If I'm a Sit-Forget Daoist, then wasn't the person who just left real? If he was real, why did you falsely accuse him?"

"So you'll kill both the real and the fake? Didn't I just stand up to you for a moment? Are you so petty? Can you even tell the difference? You haven't mistaken me again, have you?"

"Li Huowang" took half a step back, observing Xin Chi with extreme caution.

These words immediately caused Tuoba Danqing and Hong Da, who were just about to make a move, to halt and direct their gaze towards Monk Xin Chi.

Xin Chi's expression shifted, and for a moment, he seemed unsure how to explain himself.

From the rafters, Li Huowang watched the scene unfold with a sneer. He never imagined that the Sit-Forget Daoists, his mortal enemies, would ever help him.
