Chapter 211 - Keep

The headless Peng Longteng was still capable of moving. This was completely out of Li Huowang’s expectation; there was no way he could’ve seen it coming.

Presently, Li Huowang didn’t have any skin now and his senses had dulled by quite a lot. Even his movement speed had slowed down considerably. There was nothing he could do but watch as the giant halberd was swung down toward his head.

Am I going to die?

He was not afraid; in fact, he even felt a sense of freedom as the end approached.

At the critical moment, a shadow leapt up and crashed into Peng Longteng’s left shoulder. The impact from the tackle was so massive that it caused Peng Longteng to slightly shift toward her right.

The halberd narrowly missed Li Huowang and fell to his left, leaving him surprised at having survived the attack.

He looked up and saw that the silhouette belonged to none other than Gao Zhijian.

At the same time, another silhouette in red suddenly appeared in front of Li Huowang. Then, the face of a beast emerged from underneath the red veil and picked Li Huowang up by his neck before running away while carrying him.

As he was dragged away from Peng Longteng, Li Huowang stared at the white clouds above him. He smiled; having someone else come rescue him felt quite nice.

After dragging the burnt Li Huowang far enough away, the beast released its jaws and placed him down before running back.

However, given that their enemy could still move, Li Huowang refused to lay down just like that. Despite the immense pain, he tried sitting up before ordering Puppy, “Go and bring the Profound Records for me.”

Hearing the command, Puppy swallowed his saliva; he wanted to prop Li Huowang up, but he didn’t know where to hold him. After all, there was no skin left on his body. Then he asked, “Senior Li, where’s the Profound Records?”

Li Huowang used one of his few remaining fingers to point toward where Peng Longteng was.

But at that moment, someone else made a run for it instead. It was Chun Xiaoman! As she reached the location pointed by Li Huowang, she picked up the Profound Records.

Everyone paid a terrible price to rescue me. I can’t die!

Who? Who is watching me? Who are you?

He wasn’t sure how long he was out for, but he finally opened his one remaining eye.

The familiar surroundings told him that he was currently on the ox-cart.

He looked downward and saw that Bai Lingmiao was currently holding an urn as she slowly applied a sticky yellow oil on his body. Looking at her reddened eyes, he knew that she had been crying.

Li Huowang tried his best to open his glued lips. As a thin stream of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth, he asked, “How is Gao Zhijian?”

His hoarse voice caused Bai Lingmiao to jump a little before she carefully approached Li Huowang’s head, tears welling up in her eyes once again.

“Where is Gao Zhijian?” Li Huowang asked again. He was very worried about how Gao Zhijian was impaled by the halberd before being flung away.

Bai Lingmiao wiped off her tears and replied, “He is fine. I summoned the Immortal families to heal him. Thankfully, the halberd hadn’t pierced through any of his vital organs.”

“That’s good.” Li Huowang smiled and tried to sit up, only for Bai Lingmiao to stop him.

“Senior Li, you can’t move now. I am applying rat oil onto you. My mother once told me that it’s very effective at treating burn wounds,” said Bai Lingmiao.

Li Huowang listened to her and continued laying down on the ox-cart while Bai Lingmiao started applying layers of rat oil onto his charred body. Then, Bai Lingmiao told him about what had happened after he fell unconscious.

No one knew what kind of cultivation method Peng Longteng had. How she was capable of moving her body without a head was anyone’s guess.

The only thing they knew was that the bloodthirsty general was finally dead. This could be considered her retribution for the dead villagers.

Peng Longteng’s bones had been extremely dense, to the point that they couldn’t be broken. It was only after all the flesh on her body had been stripped away that she finally stopped moving.

After the danger had passed, all of them quickly crossed the border and entered Qing Qiu to avoid having the remaining outlaw soldiers following them.

After Bai Lingmiao finished telling Li Huowang everything, the ox-cart fell silent. After a moment, Bai Lingmiao asked hesitantly, “Senior Li, can you teach Chun Xiaoman how to regrow her arm? She lost her left arm. Even though she said that it’s fine, she’s still so young and it’s such a shame...”
