The Evil Spirit, realizing it had been tricked, immediately took control of Li Huowang's lower half and struggled to run away. But with only legs and no eyes, his lower half couldn't discern any direction. Mere moments after scuttling out of the hollow tree, it tripped over a root and took a nasty fall.
Seeing the situation was dire, the Evil Spirit decisively tried to flee. But just as it began to emerge from Li Huowang's lower body, a Copper Coin Sword gleaming with a cold light descended from the sky. It drove fiercely into the spirit's body, which was halfway merged with plant ash.
A sharp screech echoed through the air as black smoke billowed out. The Evil Spirit let out a painful wail, but by then, there was nothing it could do. Its cries gradually weakened until they faded completely.
Only after the Evil Spirit had stopped moving did the invisible Li Huowang reveal himself. To be precise, his upper half appeared; his lower half still lay on the ground.
