"Kill!" Li Huowang swiped his sword against the ground, and the sword in his hand seemed to light up with a dark red sword.
The next moment, the black shadow puppet in front of him that split into two instantly let out a scream and turned into black smoke.
With a rush of energy, Li Huowang gritted his teeth and accelerated forward. The distance between the two sides was rapidly approaching.
Li Huowang thought that there was only one shadow puppet monster left and he could easily deal with it. Unexpectedly, the copper-faced man moved his armpits a few times and actually stretched out four arms again.
Everyone is holding a different shadow puppet in their hands.
With the flick of his slender fingers, under the moonlight, Li Huowang was instantly surrounded by these shadow puppet monsters as thin as cicada wings.
"Senior Brother Li, we are here to help you!"
"Don't come here! Stay away! Miaomiao, don't beat the drum! I can deal with these!"
Li Huowang quickly swept through thousands of troops with one move, forcing them back slightly.
"Crash!" The red bamboo slips were quickly spread out.
As he continued to practice, the severe pain almost made Li Huowang faint
But this effort paid off. Before the two fingers even touched the ground, they quickly expanded and tore apart.
The bones in the fingers grew crazily, and the curved piercing flesh began to spin, flying towards the bronze-faced man like two long darts.
The copper-faced man turned sideways to hide, but he never thought that his fingers would move simultaneously with him.
There were two "pops", and as the fingers sank into his neck, the shadow figures around Li Huowang froze in an instant and returned to the ground.
"You..." After the copper-faced man said only this word, he staggered and fell to the ground.
Li Huowang walked over quickly and looked at the strange dead six-armed man in front of him.
"That's it? So simple?" Li Huowang was very surprised. Compared with what he had encountered before, it seemed like a joke.
Li Huowang came slightly closer and used his sword to gently lift the copper coin mask.
He wanted to see what this person looked like.
As soon as the mask was lifted, Li Huowang was shocked. There was a wooden mouth underneath. This thing was just a puppet!
"Be careful! The dwarf is still in the belly, and he is ready to attack you!"
As soon as the voice from nowhere came out, the copper-faced man's abdomen was stabbed, and a cold light pierced Li Huowang's heart.
Fortunately, there was advance warning, and Li Huowang quickly used his sword to block the opponent's sneak attack.
The next moment, Li Huowang quickly exerted force upwards, then raised the long sword with evil aura and stabbed it directly into the abdomen of the bronze-faced man.
Along with a scream from the drake's throat, blood flowed out from the copper-faced man's abdomen.
A bald, deformed dwarf with a big right eye and a small left eye and loose skin, vomiting blood and trying to crawl out of it with a painful expression.
But this was just in vain. After struggling for a few times, his big head slowly hung down.
Just after killing someone, Li Huowang felt the sword in his hand roar, and he couldn't hold it.
Pulling it out quickly and putting it into the sheath with blood, the sword finally stopped moving.
However, Li Huowang no longer cared about the sword at this moment, and quickly turned to look at the voice that just reminded him.
I saw a monk wearing patched and shabby clothes standing there, smiling at himself.
"It's you again? Who are you!"
The monk lifted up his open-toed monk shoes and walked forward. Passing by the dead dwarf, he did not forget to take off the copper coin mask on his face and stuff it into his pocket.
"Hurry up and talk as you go, don't you see those people are coming?"
Li Huowang turned his head and glanced at the black spots that had grown bigger in all directions, and he quickly followed them.
"Everyone, keep up, run, don't fall behind!"
Li Huowang came to the monk and asked him again: "Who are you? Why do you do this?"
The monk smiled and looked at Li Huowang, "Don't be so aggressive, Li Huowang, let me ask you, have I ever harmed you in the past few days we have been together?"
Before Li Huowang could answer, the monk began to ask and answer his own questions.
"No, not only did I not harm you, I also helped you in every way, helped you see through Zhengde Temple's conspiracy, and reminded you that those Nuo opera performers are weird."
After another glance at the pursuers behind him, Li Huowang took a deep breath, calmed down the anxiety in his heart and asked again: "Thank you for your help these times, but I don't want to be kept in the dark."
The usually cheerful monk suddenly looked at Li Huowang with a solemn expression, "Who I am is not important, who you are is the most important thing. Are you really Li Huowang?"
"What?!" Li Huowang's pupils shrank to a minimum in an instant, and for a moment he wanted to stop the other person from continuing.
"What I'm going to say next may be very shocking, but because I've saved you so many times, you must believe me."
"I am not a monk, and you are not Li Huowang. These are other people's identities, and they are just temporarily replaced by us. In fact, your name is Peng Zhi, and my name is Peng Jiao. We are not real people. Our true identities are the three corpses of others!
”
"What the hell is this!!" Li Huowang's mind was as confused as a ball of paste, "I'm not Li Huowang? Is there someone else who is Li Huowang?"
"啕~!" A crossbow arrow was shot over, and the monk quickly pulled it, allowing Li Huowang to dodge.
Feeling that the situation was urgent, the monk began to speak faster.
"I don't know if you know about the Three Corpses of Taoism? Any cultivator who wants to become an immortal must cut off his own three corpses. We are the three corpses that were cut off!"
"The upper corpse of Peng Hou is Danyangzi, the middle corpse Peng Zhi is you, and the lower corpse Peng Jiao is me!"
"Danyangzi has been beheaded, and the two of us are next! So we must join forces to have a chance of survival!"
"This...how is this possible..." Li Huowang still didn't want to believe it. Just a few quarters of an hour before and after, his world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Taoist! Taoist, look at me, look at me!"
When Li Huowang looked over, he saw the monk's extremely sincere eyes.
"The corpse insect is called Penghou. It is inside the human head and makes people stupid and without wisdom."
"The corpse insect in the middle is called Peng Zhi. When it lives in a person's chest, it makes people worry and have delusions, making them unable to be at peace."
"The name of the corpse worm is Peng Jiao. When it is in the human belly, it causes people to be extravagant, evil and obscene."
"Each of us has a nature that we cannot get rid of, but you see, I have completely gotten rid of my nature. Nature wants me to do evil, but I want to do good things!"
"My nature wants me to be extravagant and obscene, but I want to be a penniless monk! My destiny is up to me and not God!"
"I know that Peng Zhi's nature is to be suspicious and delusional, but Taoist priest, this is your nature, and you must get rid of your nature completely like me! Only in this way can we defeat those who are trying to succeed.
