Mutated Tao

Chapter 949: End

Zuoqiu Yong continued to slice away at his flesh with the broken bone. The pieces that fell to the ground quickly wriggled and grew. In just a few seconds, a few Zuoqiu Yongs appeared on the ground, writhing and regenerating.

Thanks to the power of the Heavenly Dao of Growth, every piece of flesh and bone he cut off grew into another Zuoqiu Yong.

“Turning flesh into soldiers?”

Li Huowang’s face turned grim. While the Heavenly Dao of Growth no longer worked on him, it still worked on Zuoqiu Yong.

Over ten Zuoqiu Yongs had risen from the ground in just a short time. With a stomp of his foot, Li Huowang charged at Zuoqiu Yong to stop his cutting further.

The half-formed Zuoqiu Yongs rushed forward to block him, but Feng Erniu charged up to shield Li Huowang from them with his abacus.

A fierce battle erupted between both sides, each with their unique abilities. Li Huowang paid no attention to the others. His focus remained solely on the Zuoqiu Yong with the Dragon Veins.

The other Zuoqiu Yongs were insignificant. What mattered was the one with the sixteen Dragon Veins!

Li Huowang swiftly projected his image. This time, instead of shifting a short distance, he appeared directly in front of Zuoqiu Yong.

Li Huowang clamped on Zuoqiu Yong’s hand, with the broken bone clenched within it. As he did, he quickly coiled around the Dragon Veins on Zuoqiu Yong with his tentacles.

At that moment, two fully-formed Zuoqiu Yongs jumped out from the side and rushed at Li Huowang.

“Die, Li Huowang!” They lunged at Li Huowang, but their hands twisted and stabbed towards Zuoqiu Yong instead.

“Huh?” Zuoqiu Yong couldn’t believe what was happening. The next instant, their faces quickly melted, and their heads turned into Shai Zi.

The two Shai Zis attacked from both sides, reaching for Zuoqiu Yong’s Dragon Vein tattoos. One of them shoved a fake Dragon Vein inside while the other forcibly pulled a real one out of Zuoqiu Yong.

The sound of dragon roars filled the air, and the surrounding space trembled.

Shai Zi realized that brute force wouldn’t work and quickly switched tactics. They pulled out several more dice and forcefully pressed them into the heads of the Dragon Veins.

The Dragon Veins on Zuoqiu Yong seemed to take on a will of their own, as if they wanted to escape from him.

Zuoqiu Yong wasted no time and started chanting a spell to regain control. However, Li Huowang had already closed in on him, cutting off any chance to complete it.

Li Huowang's mouth stretched open wide, emitting a retching sound. He spewed out a mixture of blood and Li Sui onto Zuoqiu Yong's mouth.

Li Huowang was deep in thought when a shadow suddenly appeared overhead. He looked up and saw a tower of heads wrapped in countless tentacles.

It was Li Sui, his daughter.

Li Huowang smiled at her. “Suisui, we won.”

“Yes, we won,” Li Sui repeated.

At that moment, Bai Lingmiao quietly leaned against Li Huowang. Just then, one of Li Sui’s tentacles reached into Bai Lingmiao’s ear.

Bai Lingmiao paused briefly, nodding slightly before walking toward the White Lotus Hall.

“Why did you send her away? Is there something you want to say to me?”

Li Huowang looked at the heads on Li Sui before looking back at the Dragon Veins. “Look at these Dragon Veins. You’re also a Chief, so help me figure out how to distribute them across the three timelines.

“How many Dragon Veins are left in the Great Liang? Do we have enough divisions? Do we need to restore it to eleven Dragon Veins?

“And what do you think is the minimum number of Dragon Veins needed to maintain the first timeline?”

Thump! The tower of heads slammed down in front of Li Huowang, interrupting his train of thought.

“Father, seeing me like this, don’t you want to ask anything?”

Li Huowang’s heart trembled. He looked at the heads and opened his mouth, but no words came out. He didn’t know where to begin.

Li Huowang and Li Sui—father and daughter—stared at each other in silence.

Finally, Xuan Pin broke the silence. “I’m sure you’ve already guessed, even if I don’t say it out loud.”

“Let’s talk later. The city is in chaos right now, and there’s no time for idle chat,” Li Huowang said, turning to leave.

However, a single sentence from behind stopped him in his tracks.

“Father, I’m afraid I haven’t been your Li Sui for a long time now.”
