Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 292 - Death



Chapter 292 - Death

“AAAAAAAAH!”

The fake Li Huowang kneeled on the ground as he held his skinless face with his trembling hands while shouting in pain.

He was not just shouting due to the pain of having his face torn apart, but also from getting tricked by Li Huowang.

Meanwhile, the sound of something slimy moving rang out as the Black Taisui’s tentacle grabbed the facial skin and the eyeballs of the fake Li Huowang before retreating into Li Huowang’s mouth.

Dum~

With some difficulty, Li Huowang finally swallowed the black and disgusting thing in his mouth.

Staring at the fake Li Huowang who was struggling from pain, the real Li Huowang reached back and pulled out the bronze coin sword.

Shua~

As he swung the sword, Li Huowang fell down. At the same time, the fake Li Huowang also fell onto the ground, several bronze coins embedded in his body.

Before dying, the fake Li Huowang smiled creepily as he said, “You are indeed amazing, Boss Hong Zhong. It’s no wonder that you are one of the Three Officials...”

Meanwhile, Li Huowang was also lying on the ground as he stared at the night sky. He felt pain all over his body and became lost in thought.

Damn, is this how I die? I can’t believe it...

Looking at Gao Zhijian who was being piled on by the clay statues and the Main Deity doing their best to approach Li Huowang, he rolled to his side.

It would be such a waste to not use the pain right now.

With this thought, he tried to move his hand numerous times, but failed over and over. Finally, at the last attempt, he managed to stab his arm into his own abdomen as he shouted, “Rending flesh, pulling bones!”

Immediately, the sound of fighting stopped and was replaced by pained cries.

At that moment, every being within the Ganyuan Village, regardless of whether they were the evil beings hidden within the clay statues, the humans, and or the dogs, all of them felt the same pain that Li Huowang was experiencing.

The clay statues were the first ones to surrender. Under the pain, all of them ran off.

With this, Li Huowang had single-handedly resolved the crisis.

After confirming that the clay statues had run away, Li Huowang released his hand as his consciousness slowly started to fade.

“Li Huowang!”

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, Li Huowang heard someone calling out to him, causing him to instinctively raise his head a little. “Who’s there? I’m here.”

The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was Bai Lingmiao running toward him.

I can’t die. I can’t die.

Fifth section of the night.

Amidst the darkness, the rooster crowed as Puppy walked out of the room while carrying a bedpan. His pale face and the white cloth covering his body indicated that he too was wounded. The only reason he had to be the one to take out the bedpan was because Gao Zhijian’s wounds were even more serious than his own. The clay statues had almost torn off his arms.

Puppy emptied the contents of the bedpan into the toilet as he yawned and went back inside.

As he passed by the second room, Puppy carefully opened the window and looked inside. When he saw Li Huowang who was still lying on the bed without any signs of life, Puppy shook his head and sighed.

Back in his room, he placed the bedpan underneath the bed.

Gao Zhijian’s snores suddenly stopped as he asked, “How... How... How...”

“Nothing has changed. It’s still the same. Move a little and let me sleep,” replied Puppy as he crawled into the bed and covered himself with the blanket. “Sigh, I don’t think Senior Li will be able to come back again. Time to split the money we have. Simpleton, how much money do you think I will get?”

The only response he got was some grumbles.

As he heard the grumbling that came from beside him, Puppy hurriedly said, “I’m not cursing Senior Li, but you also saw it, right? Even his organs were disemboweled! The Shamans might be good, but Bai Lingmiao is not an Immortal. How can she possibly revive the dead?”

Bam!

Puppy was shoved off the bed. contemporary romance

“Ai! You!” Puppy grumbled from the pain. Now, having lost all his sleepiness from being shoved off the bed, he took the bronze basin from the wooden frame and went to the courtyard to get some water.

After washing up, he went to the nearby stalls and sat down. “Boss, give me a bowl of sweet jellied bean curd[1], and two fried breadsticks!”

“Alright! Wait just a moment.”

The piping hot jellied bean curd had some sesame seeds and brown sugar sprinkled at the top. Looking at it, Puppy was already salivating.

He took some of the fried breadsticks and dipped them into the jellied bean curd to soften them up before eating. As he bit into it, the flavor of the oil burst into his mouth and he enjoyed his meal.

“The Liang Kingdom really is amazing. To think that they have breakfast even though they don’t have to harvest the fields in the morning, and they even have so much variety for breakfast!” exclaimed Puppy.

By the time he finished his meal, the number of people walking on the street had started to increase.

Puppy licked his bowl clean, and then took out several bronze coins, and gave it to the stall owner.

“Oh, you gave me so much. Thank you!” said the stall owner.

“Who said those are tips? I want three more portions; send them to the second floor of the inn beside us. Also, make sure that you don’t skimp out on the portion size if I’m not looking at you,” said Puppy before merging into the crowd. He was already very familiar with the layout here.

After walking for a while, he turned around and stopped in front of a shop selling coffins. He spat some saliva and smoothed his hair before walking in.

As the man who was calculating something on the abacus saw Puppy entering his shop, he let out a bitter smile.

“Boss Cao, you are here again? Let’s talk inside,” said the shop owner.

“So? I already gave you a night to think about the price. Do you agree to give me a discount or not?” asked Puppy as he patted one of the coffins.

“Boss Cao, this is excellent quality red pine wood. Stop patting it. If you keep doing that, the paint might fall off. Just tell me, do you want to buy it or not? You have been coming here every day to ask about the price, but you still haven’t bought anything. Are you just here to survey the price so you can open up a shop of your own?” asked the shop owner.

“Hmph!” Puppy feigned disinterest. “Of course, I’m here to buy, that is, if you give it to me half a tael cheaper.”

Hearing this, the owner of the shop felt his heart skip a beat and his voice lowered, “Do you mean... your Senior Li will soon...?”

Puppy closed his eyes and nodded.

Seeing this, the shop owner came to a decision. “Sure, I will give you a discount of half a tael! This is the lowest I can go!”

“Ok.” Puppy walked around the coffin and told him, “Since you already gave me a discount of half a tael, why don’t you give me some free funeral clothes as well?”

After two whole hours passed, the dehydrated shop owner finally agreed to Puppy’s price. He didn’t want to drag it anymore. If he had to drag this out, then he felt that he might die even sooner than that Senior Li that Boss Cao kept talking about.

After paying the deposit, Puppy asked one more time, “Shop owner, you know how to do the ceremony right?”

The owner of the coffin shop nodded. “Don’t worry. I know how to arrange everything, from the cooks, performers, and even people to carry the coffins.”

“I want the best of the best for everything! I want the best funeral for my sworn brother!” said Puppy.

“Of course! I promise you that it will be the best you’ve ever seen! No need to worry!” assured the shop owner.

“Oh, and help me order a few more paper dolls, and this time, make them girls. I’m afraid that Senior Li might die from boredom down there,” said Puppy.

“Boss Cao is very loyal!” praised the shop owner.

“Sigh, this is the best I can do. When Senior Li dies, they will all be busy crying. None of them will even bother to think about stuff like this. Last time as well, I was the only one who thought about such things.”

“Last time?”
