Li Huowang watched as the light in Zhuge Yuan's eyes gradually disappeared, and his heart was in pain as if being cut by a knife.
Now his mind was in chaos. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth in the face of his dying friend.
"Brother Li, the worms in your abdomen are almost dead. Are you really okay?" Zhuge Yuan looked at Li Huowang's gradually empty chest and asked with his last breath.
Li Huowang's face showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and he shook his head forcefully. "Brother Zhuge, do you... do you have any last words to tell me? As long as you tell me, I will definitely do it!"
As Zhuge Yuan slowly exhaled, his voice became intermittent. "No, I... I... have lived... a straightforward life... without any... regrets...
The snow that had disappeared before began to fall again, gradually landing on Zhuge Yuan's dilated pupils.
While Li Huowang was grieving and watching Zhuge Yuan gradually lose vitality, he suddenly thought of something. He rushed forward excitedly, "Brother Zhuge, I suddenly thought of a way! You can still be saved! You can still be saved!"
As he spoke, he raised his veined hands and tightly squeezed Zhuge Yuan's neck, which was becoming tighter and tighter.
Looking at Zhuge Yuan, who had lost all expression and was looking at him, Li Huowang, who was exerting all his strength, trembled and whispered in his ear, "Brother Zhuge, I have killed some people in the past! Or some people who died around me! They seem to have some reason to become illusions and stay by my side! Maybe you can too!"
"As long as you can become an illusion, when I become a true cultivator, I can definitely make you materialize!"
Li Huowang said, and his hands tightened crazily. In the end, he exerted too much force and directly twisted Zhuge Yuan's head off.
Kneeling on the ground, he held Zhuge Yuan's head in his hands and looked around in confusion. Jinshan, Monk, Red, Peng Longteng, four illusions, Zhuge Yuan did not appear again.
Zhuge Yuan did not become an illusion, which meant that Zhuge Yuan was really dead.
With trembling pale lips, Li Huowang hugged Zhuge Yuan's head, and his upper body gradually arched. His left hand, which was missing two fingers, clenched tightly and fiercely smashed down on the ground, gradually cracking the solid soil, splashing blood mixed with Li Huowang's wounds in all directions.
But no matter how much he vented, it was of no avail. Zhuge Yuan was dead, and he couldn't come back. Li Huowang's tears kept falling on Zhuge Yuan's hair in his arms.
Why, why does every person who is good to him in this world end up like this?
Or is it a problem with this world? Is it true that good people don't live long while bad people live for thousands of years?
Suddenly, a sense of indignation surged in Li Huowang's heart, facing the extreme indignation of this chaotic world. This is not right! This world is wrong! The world of mortals should not be like this!
After smashing for half an incense stick's worth of time, Li Huowang gradually stopped his blood-soaked hands. It was not that he wanted to stop, but because he couldn't lift his hands anymore.
With the time of the leap month's five elements hour quickly passing, if he didn't solve this problem soon, he would die with Zhuge Yuan.
A trace of hesitation appeared in Li Huowang's eyes. If it was like this, it seemed not bad. After all, he had nothing to live for.
But immediately, Li Huowang suddenly lowered his head and fiercely smashed it on the ground. The pain from the broken skull quickly dispelled his thoughts of death.
"Zhuge Yuan did everything he could to save your life! Do you have the right to die? Can you live up to him?!"
"If you commit suicide now, Zhuge Yuan will become a joke! You are not allowed to die! You must live like a human being!"
Li Huowang fiercely knocked a few times, and his forehead revealed a white skull before he stopped.
He gritted his teeth and staggered to his feet. Li Sui controlled Li Huowang's original body and walked towards him.
Li Huowang looked at the darkening vision in front of him, shook his head vigorously, and then raised the sword in his hand, bidding farewell to his own body. He made a small cut on his own body's forearm and said, "Stop pretending. It's already this time. Li Sui, retract all your tentacles!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Huowang saw Beifeng, who was clearly drunk, calmly open his eyes.

"Why should I?"
"Just because you owe me a favor on Nüren Mountain five years ago! What? Do you want to go back on your word?"
Hearing this, Beifeng carefully examined Li Huowang from top to bottom, and finally clasped his fists and congratulated him, "Boss Hongzhong, congratulations on your return. You really played big this time. I almost thought you couldn't come back."
As he spoke, with a gentle blink of his eyes, the two bodies quickly switched back.
Returning to his own body and feeling the almost empty shell, Beifeng suddenly complained, "Oh, you've ruined my body. It's completely useless now."
After speaking, he looked at a Jin Yiwei who had lost a leg on the ground in the distance.
With another gentle blink of his eyes, the two bodies quickly switched again. Before that Jin Yiwei could adapt to Beifeng's broken body, his expression froze, and he collapsed to the ground without a sound.
Beifeng, who had changed into the Jin Yiwei's body, hopped towards Li Huowang with his remaining leg."Boss Red, why are we standing here? Let's go help Boss Dice. Look over there, they're practically beating their brains out."
But he spoke for a long time without getting any response, only to see Li Huowang staring tearfully at the empty space on his left.
Beifeng reached out to touch the space, but there was nothing there.
At that moment, he heard Boss Red's voice trembling as he spoke. "Brother Zhuge, long time no see, are you well?"
Li Huowang's heart was pounding. He was so excited that he couldn't help but stare at Zhuge Yuan in front of him.
Zhuge Yuan, still in his white robe, was holding a folding fan with the words "Born to be talented" written on it, gently fanning himself.
The other illusions around him were looking curiously at this newcomer.
Zhuge Yuan counted on his folding fan and pointed to the other illusions around him, "Brother Li, could you introduce these people to me?"
Li Huowang was so excited that he was tongue-tied, his hands trembling. It took him a long time to blurt out, "Oh my God! I did it! You've really become an illusion!"
It seemed that the reason why Zhuge Yuan didn't appear before was because he wasn't in his heart and body just now.
