Chapter 719: Come At Me!
>
> With a casual flick from the Big-Headed Doll, those two tattered door god puppets were tossed onto the ground. The Big-Headed Doll's eyes curiously looked at Li Huowang.
>>
>
> "You're Li Huowang, huh? Let me ask you one more time: are you really refusing to surrender to our Great Li Kingdom?"
>>
>
> This time, Li Huowang couldn't even be bothered to respond. The more than a dozen tentacles extending from his body pushed against the ground, and gripping his sword, he leaped straight toward the Big-Headed Doll.
>>
>
> Just as the long sword in Li Huowang's hand was about to slash onto the Big-Headed Doll, the roof ridge beast beneath it suddenly came alive, opening its bloody maw and biting toward Li Huowang's abdomen.
>>
>
> However, Li Sui's tentacles drilled out from Li Huowang's abdomen, firmly propping up the roof ridge beast's body and sparing Li Huowang the need to waste energy on what was below.
>>
>
> At this moment, the purple-tasseled sword in his hand was less than three inches from the Big-Headed Doll's head.
>>
>
> With a light "pop," the Big-Headed Doll's head suddenly flew up as if it had grown wings, revealing a middle-aged woman underneath.
>>
>
> Facing the Li Huowang who sought to kill her, the woman looked over in bewilderment. Just as their gazes were about to meet, Li Huowang suddenly felt a chill creep up his spine.
>>
>
> He didn't know what this woman was, but Li Huowang instinctively sensed that she was extremely dangerous.
>>
>
> The instant their gazes met, Li Huowang immediately recalled what this sensation was.
>>
>
> "Oh no! It's Heart Filth!!"
>>
>
> This was a trap.
>>
>
> "Close your eyes!"
>>
>
> With Li Huowang's furious roar, the old woman obediently shut her eyes.
>>
>
> Under Li Huowang's intense stare, the Heart Filth's eyelids and facial skin rapidly fused together, denying it any chance to open its eyes again.
>>
>
> "Hahaha."
>>
>
> The Big-Headed Doll's head rolling on the ground burst into laughter.
>>
>
> "Li Huowang, you think that's the end of it?! Since we've ambushed you, we've prepared every contingency! Today, we ensure you come but never leave!!"
>>
>
> "Bam!"
>>
>
> A horseshoe shod with iron stomped down heavily, instantly crushing the Big-Headed Doll into pulp.
>>
>
> "Hahaha! Come at me! All of you, come! Let me test your tricks!"
>>
>
> Peng Longteng swung her long halberd and bellowed at her surroundings.
>>
>
> While Peng Longteng shouted her provocations, Li Huowang didn't dare let his guard down. He immediately turned and withdrew toward the distant breached city gate.
>>
>
> Since he now knew the enemy had set a trap for him, when else would he run if not now?
>>
>
> Li Huowang's figure leaped up and down between the eaves, swiftly departing the area.
>>
>
> Yet soon, Li Huowang spotted a black-robed lama sitting cross-legged on the roof ridge, his back to him blocking the path, with a strip of black cloth dangling from his sleeve as well.
>>
>
> "A lama?"
>>
>
> The thought had just flashed through Li Huowang's mind when he saw a prayer wheel appear in the lama's hand and begin to spin, the lama chanting incomprehensibly from his lips as he turned it.
>>
>
> "."
>>
>
> As the prayer wheel's buzzing filled the air, Li Huowang immediately felt his body tugged by some force, his gaze involuntarily locking onto the spinning wheel.
>>
>
> "It's a lama from the Middle Yin Temple! What's the deal with this Death Siting—betting on both sides?"
>>
>
> Li Huowang raised his sword hand, sending a rift flying toward the lama.
>>
>
> "Swish~!"
>>
>
> The tiles shattered in a cascade as howling gales surged upward from below. Sheets of white shadows flew out, swirling around Li Huowang's body and carving several deep gashes down to the bone.
>>
>
> As another white shadow drifted past Li Huowang, he drew his copper coin sword and flung it forcefully all around, striking those white shadows.
>>
>
> To Li Huowang's great surprise, the copper coin sword pierced through those white shadows with ease—they were incredibly fragile.
>>
>
> The coins and red threads vibrated rapidly, instantly scattering the white shadows into a sky full of confetti.
>>
>
> When he spotted two three-handed scholars carrying fans blocking his path, one ahead and one behind, Li Huowang finally realized who had ambushed him moments ago.
>>
>
> Clearly, those lying in wait for Li Huowang weren't just this bunch. Soon, all manner of Dharma Cult believers revealed themselves around him from every direction—he was thoroughly surrounded.
>>
>
> Li Huowang had no idea how his whereabouts had been leaked, but it was obvious they had come fully prepared.
>>
>
> Soon, one man stepped forward. That familiar face and the white headscarf on his head—Li Huowang instantly recognized him as Taishan Stone, the Dharma Cult follower from Great Qi.
>>
>
> "I was wondering why we'd heard nothing from you. So you've come all the way here."
>>
>
> Li Huowang scanned his surroundings during the brief exchange.
>>
>
> They had him hemmed in on all sides, watertight. Sneaking away was out of the question now—he'd have to fight his way through.
>>
>
> "You really think this handful of people can stop me?"
>>
>
> Li Huowang asked slowly.
>>
>
> "Don't bluff. Last time, you barely crawled out of the Earth Dragon thanks to the Cang Qiang Ascension Rite. Now it's just you alone—you're not escaping."
>>
>
> After Taishan Stone spoke coldly, he gave a slight lift of his chin, and everyone around pounced on Li Huowang.
>>
>
> With a bang, Peng Longteng on her warhorse dropped from the sky, smashing directly onto two heads and pulping them instantly. The next moment, she yanked the reins back with a mad laugh and charged the rest.
>>
>
> "Fire!"
>>
>
> As Li Huowang splayed his hand, flames swiftly engulfed his body, offering his skin up to Ba Hui.
>>
>
> But this level seemed insufficient to Ba Hui.
>>
>
> His flesh burst open in scales like a fish's, and the flames blazing on his skin burrowed into the fissures.
>>
>
> Sensing danger, Li Huowang promptly spat out Li Sui at once.
>>
>
> His blood sizzled under the searing flames. In that instant, Li Huowang endured agony several times worse than before, burned from the inside out.
>>
>
> Yet with great cost came great power—the black-smoke-belching flames on Li Huowang's body surged several times higher.
>>
>
> "Ba Hui! You bastard!"
>>
>
> Li Huowang cursed skyward before charging at the distant Taishan Stone, wrapped in flames that had sunk deep into his flesh.
>>
>
> It was impossible to say now whether Li Huowang was the flames' fuel or the flames themselves. Everywhere he passed, anything that could burn or not burned, the scorching blaze warping the air around him.
>>
>
> "Giddyup!"
>>
>
> Peng Longteng vaulted high from above Li Huowang's head, passing straight through the inferno.
>>
>
> Her heavy armor, the massive halberd in her grip, and the warhorse beneath her were now all cloaked in the same flames as Li Huowang.
>>
>
> Since becoming Li Huowang's hallucination, Peng Longteng had never felt this exhilarated.
>>
>
> "Come at me!!"
>>
>
> Peng Longteng hooked her giant halberd backward, snagging Li Huowang's body on the blade. With a mighty heave of her arms, she hurled him like a fireball straight into the heart of the distant foes.
