Five li outside the Capital City, Li Huowang ran wildly with Li Sui through the woodland, while shadows flitted through the trees behind them, creating an overwhelming atmosphere.
Just as those people behind were about to catch up, a black-robed Arhat wielding a Demon-Subduing Circle suddenly burst out from a tree trunk nearby. The circle, engraved all over with Buddhist scriptures, smashed fiercely toward Li Huowang and Li Sui.
As a dark light flashed, the Demon-Subduing Circle crashed hard into the two of them, and in an instant, their bodies shattered inch by inch like rotting wood.
Soon a group of people swarmed up, staring at the Li Huowang head in the Arhat's hand.
"Something's wrong!" A man dressed as a Taoist flicked his hands, sweeping two leaves across his eyes.
The next moment, when he reached out to tear the skin from Li Huowang's head, he discovered that beneath the face was a corpse's head, covered with a talisman.
