Story context
Sometimes, you just can't catch a break. Fresh off a hallucinatory identity crisis, Li Huowang finds himself literally skewered together with the very people he's trying to kill—the Zuowandao—because the Supervisory Heavenly Office can't tell the difference. This chapter is a claustrophobic, roof-shattering brawl where Li Huowang fights with the desperate rage of a man screaming *“I’m not one of them!”* while everyone around him assumes he is. It’s messy, bloody, and ends with him standing over a pile of dead agents and asking a terrifying question about the one person he's been searching for.
Why it matters
This is pure, unfiltered Li Huowang: a man pushed past the point of reason, fighting not for victory but just to be *heard*. The sheer frustration of being mistaken for a trickster deity when you're just a broken guy with a sword is palpable. The chapter is a brutal highlight reel of his power: the instinctive violence, the grotesque willingness to self-harm as proof, and the terrifying symbiotic bond with his parasite-daughter, Li Sui. If you've been waiting for him to stop just reacting and start *demanding* answers—this is your chapter. The cliffhanger question is a game-changer.
