Chapter 965: General and Prime Minister Present Themselves

Dense formations of military practitioners stretched out, including not only those from Daliang, but also from Qingqiu, Houshu, Siqi, Anxi, and even Daqi.

With a swish, as the military practitioners simultaneously raised their blades behind their heads, their tied hair came loose, flowing behind them like cloaks in the wind.

Each person's gaze was cold yet resolute; even when facing a Si Ming, there was no trace of fear in the eyes of these mortals.

Among the unbound hair were all the heads controlled by Xuanpin. "Myriad strands of black hair scatter across the vast body, all generals and prime ministers shall greet, Tian Gang and Tai Yi follow my path! Jia Geng two souls, walk with me!"

"Do not question door gods and house guardians, do not question the myriad evil spirits! Do not question mountain gods and baneful ghosts! Do not question evil demons and unrighteous gods!"

The blades that had severed their hair, accompanied by drumbeats, slowly rested across the necks of all military practitioners. "Instantly enter the ritual ground, beheading and dismembering to become dust! Only for the common people, not for self! The Heavenly Dao is incomplete..."

As they reached the final moment, all the military practitioners roared with maximum force, "The Heavenly Dao is incomplete, let ordinary men mend it!!"

Continuous squelches sounded as these millions of military practitioners simultaneously severed their own heads! This, of course, included all the heads controlled by Xuanpin.

Hot blood, imbued with malevolent energy, shot skyward, carrying the rage and murderous intent of the military practitioners. It quickly condensed in the air to form a colossal, chaotic head, reaching from heaven to earth, continuously roaring.

When he felt his own heart being affected by the murderous intent and rage, Li Huowang finally knew what it was: the Si Ming of the military domain, the General-Prime Minister!

The Si Ming of the Blessed Life Heaven and the General-Prime Minister crashed heavily into each other. As the two collided, time and space shattered and collapsed, causing all the Heavenly Daos in the entire Tianchen Kingdom to completely break down.

Both were fractured and scattered significantly by the collision. But as the Si Ming governing slaughter and war, the General-Prime Minister's existence was clearly entirely different from other Si Mings.

Wherever there was conflict, hatred, or slaughter, there he would be.

The more intense the fighting and conflict, the stronger he became, and this was especially true for conflicts between Si Mings.

As the murderous intent and rage in his heart completely erupted, Li Huowang, hanging from the edge of the roof, raised his severed arm and fiercely swept at the beggar's shin, directly knocking the opponent down.

Then, Li Huowang, whose body was crimson and veins bulging, hooked onto the drainpipe and climbed back onto the rooftop.

"Die!!" Li Huowang, completely influenced by the malevolent energy, charged forward, utterly disregarding the opponent shooting at his abdomen. He endured the bullets, dismembering the opponent's body directly.

The moment his blade was completely shattered by the opponent's bones, Li Huowang, covered in blood, finally stopped.

His body was completely dyed red; at that moment, he couldn't tell if the red was his own blood or the opponent's.

At that moment, the gunfire outside stopped, and the police sirens ceased; everything seemed to vanish.

Li Huowang, frozen in place, suddenly came to his senses. Panicked, he couldn't care about anything else and began frantically searching among the headless military practitioners.

There were simply too many headless military practitioners; their bodies piled up like mountains, and their blood flowed like rivers.

"Sui Sui! Sui Sui!!" Li Huowang, alone, frantically searched for his daughter in this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, filled with both despair and a glimmer of hope. "Sui Sui! Where are you!!"

He didn't know how long he searched, but Li Huowang suddenly found a black tentacle lying on the ground. He frantically pushed aside corpses and dug down along the tentacle, finally finding a mass of tentacles, and within them, two pupils from a pair of eyes.

Li Huowang practically pounced, clutching the mass of tentacles tightly to his chest. He tremblingly stroked it. "Sui Sui, don't be afraid, Daddy's here! Sui Sui, don't be afraid!"

"Daddy?"

A flicker of joy just bloomed in Li Huowang's heart, but was immediately crushed by the next sentence. "Li Huowang, Li Sui is already dead. How many times do I have to tell you?"

Li Huowang's expression gradually dimmed. Hugging Xuanpin, he vigorously shook his head. "It's okay! It's okay! As long as you're still alive! I'll find a way to change you back, as long as I get rid of everything you swallowed!"

"Li Huowang, you probably won't have the chance, because I'm going to die." Xuanpin's words were extremely calm, seemingly without any sadness or excitement. "Human lives are the necessary price for the General-Prime Minister's aid. If no one dies, it's just playing house, not real war."

As she spoke, Xuanpin's tentacles began to shrivel, and some liquid seeped out from them.

"No... no! Miaomiao! Hurry! Sui Sui is dying! Quickly take the death from her body!" Following Li Huowang's shouts, Bai Lingmiao rushed over and placed her hand on Xuanpin.

But the next moment, she said tremblingly, "There is no Heavenly Dao of Death left in her."

"It's useless. Now I am under the General-Prime Minister's control, no longer under the Unborn Mother's." Xuanpin's body gradually became weaker, and her voice began to fade. "It's time for serious matters, Li Huowang."

"Although you are Ji Zai's heart-bound, I know you are different from other Si Mings, because Ji Zai himself is different from other Si Mings. He can't tell what he truly is."

"Perhaps he, like the General-Prime Minister, can help us overcome this calamity, but this is far from enough."

"Blessed Life Heaven will definitely not give up. Our ancestors once endured hardships, and it's probably coming again."

"If we don't want everyone in the world to revert to the state of ancient people who don't know ethics, right from wrong, or good from evil, then we must start fighting for our lives."

"Don't trust other Si Mings; they are not on the same boat as us. Our own fates can only be held in our own hands."

"So many common people have been nurtured; their lives are to be used at this moment. Don't be afraid of the dead; as long as there are still living people, as long as the Heavenly Dao persists, they will eventually be reborn."

Li Huowang, at this moment, wasn't listening at all. With a shattered expression, he hugged Xuanpin and muttered to himself, continuously repeating something.

"My time is running out. After I die, go find the Daliang Imperial Advisor. He will tell you some things you don't know."

"It's still that same phrase... Si Mings... can be used... but not... not..."

"Stop talking! Stop talking! Li Sui! You won't die! You won't die!!" Li Huowang screamed frantically. However, his Seven-Wheel cultivation, apart from continuously changing the surrounding environment, did not bring the dying Li Sui back to life.

"I... I'm really not... Li Sui. Li Huowang... you can't... deceive... yourself. Sentimental attachments... this is a minor path... you should let go..."

As Xuanpin's body collapsed, the clustered, shriveled tentacles gradually fell apart, becoming loose, individual strands.

As the tentacles spread out, something was revealed deep within them: clay figures, three of them.

The clay figures looked very old; their colors had faded, and their surfaces were cracked, but it was still possible to tell who they depicted.

One was Li Huowang's, one was Bai Lingmiao's, and one was Li Sui's.

"I'm not Li Sui, I'm not... I'm not her...." A black, writhing tentacle wrapped around Li Huowang's clay figure, and with its last strength, gently extended towards him.

Just as Li Huowang was about to reach out and take it, the tentacle suddenly went limp, and the cracked clay figure fell to the ground with it, shattering completely.
