With Huan Jue temporarily trapped, Li Huowang pushed hard off the ground with his six tentacles and two legs. Gripping the Copper Coin Sword, he leaped high into the air.

In the next moment, the sharp tip of the sword pierced through the hollow left eye socket in the human skin mask and emerged cleanly from the back of her head.
Li Huowang didn't forget what Zhuge Yuan had just warned him about. Using both hands, he pushed hard on the hilt and leveraged the force to flip backward, landing steadily on his feet.
But when he saw Huan Jue—with a sword lodged in her skull—still standing there unharmed, his expression turned grim.
Li Huowang realized that at some point, his left foot had been pierced by a red tendril. It was now shriveled and terribly aged.
This Huan Jue was far smarter than he had imagined. She could even trade injury for injury, setting a trap to prevent him from escaping with the Spinal Bone Sword.
