Chapter 428: Sitting Forgotten Tao

Listening to their words, Li Huowang, who had just been lost in his own emotions, stared at everything before him in a daze.

As he came back to his senses, a surge of hot blood rushed to his head. "This is all because of you bastards!"

With a clang, Li Huowang drew his sword with one hand, pushed off the roof tiles with both feet, and charged towards the three Sitting Forgetters who had their backs to him.

Hearing the whistling sound behind him, the attacked Sitting Forgetter folded his body sharply to the left as if broken, narrowly dodging the attack.

His upside-down head looked at Li Huowang with a bewildered expression. "Boss Hongzhong, you're still messing around! They won't believe you now, hurry up and go, we'll cover your retreat!"

Just then, the illusory Hongzhong beside him also moved closer and earnestly advised, "He's right, this isn't the time for games. Retreating is crucial."

"Right, my ass!" Li Huowang fiercely swung his longsword, the sharp blade slicing across the illusory Hongzhong's bloody, skinless face, yet nothing abnormal happened.

Meanwhile, the Supervisors from a distance began to act. A purple-robed Taoist pulled out two fist-sized yellow talisman flags from his sleeve, thrust them behind his neck, and began to chant spells while drawing a massive Bagua formation in the air.

Each time his finger traced through the air, it stirred up ripples of transparent distortion.

As the Taoist formed a hand seal and slammed the aerial formation down onto the roof tiles at his feet, he chanted, "Look up and see as one, bow down and hear as one, above are the Six Jia, below are the Six Ding! By the order of the Three Pure Ones! Command me to act!"

The next moment, with a synchronized cracking sound, the roof tiles and beams beneath everyone rapidly shattered, leaving everyone standing on the tiles with no support, and they all fell towards the room below.

A massive ink-black Five Elements Bagua formation appeared directly below, perfectly encompassing the three Sitting Forgetters and Li Huowang.

And those masked Supervisors from before had appeared below at some unknown point, standing around the formation, staring intently, fully prepared.

In this critical moment, one male Sitting Forgetter gritted his teeth, used a falling tile beside him for leverage with one foot, and vigorously pushed Li Huowang with both hands. "Boss Hongzhong! Get out of here!"

With a "swoosh!" Li Huowang raised his hand and brought down his blade, directly severing the Sitting Forgetter's hands.

In his bewildered gaze, a black tentacle wrapped with a copper coin sword suddenly twitched, the copper coin sword instantly extended with a rattling sound, and sliced off the Sitting Forgetter's head.

No sooner had this been done, and before he could do anything else, the remaining two Sitting Forgetters and Li Huowang also landed.

The moment they touched the Five Elements Bagua formation, the formation instantly rose like a large net, enveloping them.

Seeing that these people had trapped him along with the others, Li Huowang was instantly enraged. These useless individuals were truly incapable of accomplishing anything and only caused more trouble.

"What are you doing?! I told you! I'm not a Sitting Forgetter!" Li Huowang's left fingernails fiercely gripped his own chin, and he ripped off his entire face.

However, this act of self-demonstration not only failed to convince the conspiring Supervisors but instead made them accelerate their attacks.

The purple-robed Taoist reached behind him, pulled out the yellow talisman flags from the back of his neck, and swiftly threw them towards Li Huowang.

The flagpoles grew longer and longer in the air, like spears, spiraling and curving to pierce into the vital points of the three individuals, going in the front and out the back, instantly stringing them together.

Then, with a wave of a Supervisor's hand, several dark green talismans flew over and adhered to the foreheads of the three. Now, the three couldn't even move a single finger.

Seeing the three individuals controlled before them, the six Supervisors finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just as a hunchbacked man holding a soul-summoning banner was about to speak, he saw the strung-up mass of flesh before him begin to move.

"How many times do I have to say it?! I am not a Sitting Forgetter!!" Li Huowang's murderous roar suddenly erupted within the confined room.

To everyone's astonishment, black, viscous tentacles emerged from various parts of Li Huowang's body, forcibly lifting the three individuals, who were squeezed into a single mass.

A faint breeze blew the talisman off Li Huowang's forehead, revealing bloodthirsty eyes filled with murderous intent beneath. "Kill!"

Surges of hot blood from within Li Huowang rushed into all of Li Sui's tentacles, instantly causing the black tentacles to swell considerably.

Driven by the waving and twitching of the tentacles, the entire mass of flesh suddenly flew high into the air and hurtled towards the Supervisors.

Just as the Supervisors were about to retreat, Li Sui, within Li Huowang's body, following her father's instructions, quickly broke two of her own ribs, crossed them, and violently plunged them into his lungs.

Instantly, everyone instinctively clutched their chests and revealed expressions of pain alongside Li Huowang.

While they were enduring the same pain as him, Li Huowang's fingers were severed by Li Sui and spiraled into the temples of two Supervisors.

With the death of that Taoist, the tattoo-like Bagua formations on the three individuals quickly faded, and Li Huowang realized he could move.

Ignoring the two individuals still impaled on him, Li Huowang, whose eyes were bloodshot with fury, forcefully tore off the talisman from his forehead, enduring intense pain throughout his body, and charged towards the remaining Supervisors.

"How many times do I have to say it?! I am not a Sitting Forgetter!!"

They were no match for Li Huowang even when he was restrained, and now that he was free, they were even more outmatched.

Especially with the remaining Sitting Forgetters and Li Sui occasionally lending a hand, the Supervisors were defeated even more rapidly.

When his white banner was severed by a sword, the hunchbacked man stumbled backward. He frantically stammered, "Alright, alright! You're not a Sitting Forgetter! I believe you, I believe you!!"

A flash of white light, and the ominous longsword, while he was speaking, plunged directly into his mouth, emerged from the back of his head, and embedded itself in the rammed earth wall behind.

Li Huowang looked into the man's despairing eyes, squeezed all his strength into the sword hilt, and instantly pushed a hole straight through the rammed earth wall.

As the hunchbacked man's eyes quickly rolled up, his hands, gripping the hilt, weakly dropped. All the previous Supervisors had been annihilated by Li Huowang.

"Boss Hongzhong is amazing!"

"Yeah, otherwise, why would he be Boss Hongzhong while we're just pawns?"

Two cheerful voices came from behind Li Huowang.

Li Huowang pulled the sword out of the hunchbacked man's mouth, sheathed it behind his back, then grasped the flagpoles embedded in his body and slowly pulled them out.

As the flagpoles were pulled out, the Sitting Forgetters who had been strung up on Li Huowang's back by the flagpoles finally regained their freedom.

As they flattered Li Huowang with one remark after another, like a comedy duo, he drew the longsword from its sheath again, its blood-stained tip pointing directly at the heads of the two Sitting Forgetters. "Where is Xinsu Beifeng now!"
