Li Huowang, holding the head of Hong Zhong in his hands, listened in shock as Nan Gong described the events that had transpired.
After listening to the account, Li Huowang said with great astonishment, "What exactly is the origin of this Hong Zhong? Even without a head, he can still run!"
At this point, Li Huowang paused slightly as if he had suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly spoke up, "However, Astrological Bureau Director, I have seen once in Huo Shu a military expert who had the ability to survive decapitation. Perhaps Hong Zhong acquired that skill from them."
Hearing Li Huowang's words, the Taoist from the Astrological Bureau gestured with his hand, and the head in Li Huowang's hands flew back into his own, resting in his palm like a pagoda.
The Taoist's mouth opened, and with his pitted and rotten teeth exposed to the air, a stench of bad breath permeated the surroundings.
