Chapter 243 - Li Huowang

Han Fu’s blood sprayed all over Li Huowang. He just stood there and stared at the mangled corpse in front of him.

The Daoist that had tried to capture him, Han Fu, was dead just like that.

Li Huowang was in disbelief. Compared to the enemies he had faced before, Han Fu was far too weak. It was as if Han Fu was just playing around. Li Huowang even doubted whether this was Han Fu’s real body.

After a moment, he kicked Han Fu’s bloody head and felt disgusted. “You are so weak and yet you want to rob someone?”

He now understood that everyone in the world wanted to capture a Strayed One, regardless of their strength. Even if some of them were weak, they would still give it a shot to try and capture one.

By this time, Puppy had already crawled up the hole. He peeked into the hole and shouted, “Senior Li, are you alright?”

However, when he saw Li Huowang’s bloody face, Puppy felt goosebumps rising all over his body. He swallowed with difficulty. “Do you... want us to come down?”

“No need! I’m coming up now,” replied Li Huowang as he grabbed the chains and started climbing up.

But then, he stopped and came back down again. He rummaged through Han Fu’s body and found some yellow talismans.

I wonder if I can use them even though I have never learned how to use them.

He rummaged further and found several small beads wrapped in talismans.

Hm?

Li Huowang opened one of them and saw a familiar bead.

“This is a lifespan pill!”

Li Huowang had seen one before and knew just how valuable it was.

Seeing how the lifespan pill was about to disappear, Li Huowang quickly ate it, instantly feeling his body become lighter.

He rummaged around and found nineteen lifespan pills. Overjoyed, he quickly kept them away.

He continued rummaging about, but didn’t find anything else besides tools and materials used to make talismans.

Just when Li Huowang was almost out of the cave, the white tassels formed into a massive hand that grabbed him.

Then, amidst everyone’s shouting, Li Huowang was dragged down from the chain into the cave.

The chain was also ripped out from everyone’s hand. It slipped through their hands and fell into the cave. Only a portion of the chain that was attached to the ground remained above the hole.

Bai Lingmiao collapsed onto the ground, tears flowing down her eyes.

Everyone was shocked. What should they do without Li Huowang now?

After a moment, Bai Lingmiao suddenly moved and ran toward the hole with the Second Deity.

Seeing this, Puppy grabbed Bai Lingmiao to stop her before Gao Zhijian appeared behind her and the Second Deity and restrained both of them.

At the same time, Chun Xiaoman approached the struggling Bai Lingmiao with tears in her eyes and slapped her. “Can you stop being crazy?!”

Finally, Bai Lingmiao stopped and slumped down like a puppet.

Just as everyone was unsure about what to do next, the sound of the chains rang out once again.

Puppy was the first one who heard it. “Wait! The chain is moving! Senior Li is not dead! Hahaha! I knew it! Senior Li would never die!”

Puppy’s words instantly attracted everyone’s attention. They looked toward the chain and saw that it was indeed rattling lightly.

Puppy was just about to start pulling up the chain once more but Chun Xiaoman stopped him. “Careful! It might not be Senior Li!”

“Pull me up!”

At that moment, Senior Li’s voice rang out from down below. With this, everyone stopped thinking about it and grabbed the chain to pull it up.

With everyone’s help, a mangled hand soon appeared from the hole.

The hand was truly mangled. The fingers were twisted and the skin was torn apart, almost as if it was a claw made by piecing together different pieces of flesh. At the same time, several white tassels were stuck to the twisted hand.

The mangled hand dug into the ground with its nailless fingers and trembled as Li Huowang used all of his strength to pull his body up.

Finally, Li Huowang’s body appeared in front of everyone’s shocked eyes.

It was indeed Li Huowang, if he could still be called as such.
