Chapter 364 - Suffering

Li Huowang chuckled and shook his head. Then, he turned to the wall next to him and said, “Miaomiao, take Li Sui a little farther away. You can’t die here, but it’s still better to be safe than sorry.”

“Who the heck are you speaking to?! Are you wearing a Bluetooth earphone? Take it off!”

"Do you have any idea just how bad my mood is right now? I'm on the verge of exploding right now," Li Huowang said; his exhausted voice echoed in the spacious stairwell.

Li Huowang’s words had yet to finish echoing when he flipped his hand, revealing a dagger. Li Huowang's expression became ferocious as he stomped his feet on the ground and rushed at the trio before him, akin to a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Bang!

A gunshot echoed, wounding Li Huowang. Li Huowang's blood scatted haphazardly everywhere, but the pain only made Li Huowang feel excited rather than afraid.

A cold light flashed as the hand of the tall, gloomy-looking man flew away, along with his gun and fresh blood. The tall, gloomy-looking man let loose a piercing scream, but it was immediately silenced by Li Huowang lacerating his throat.

A gurgling noise soon followed as the tall, gloomy-looking man collapsed to the floor.

The scene scared the remaining two men out of their wits. They held the young woman firmly and roared, “Don’t come over! We have a hostage!”

“That's only going to work on a real police officer! In this world of yours, I am nothing but a madman!” Li Huowang exclaimed.

The blood that had pooled on the floor soaked Li Huowang’s feet, but Li Huowang remained undeterred. He ignored the two men and the young woman, proceeding to walk up the stairs with a dagger stuck in his chest.

Li Huowang's voice sounded hoarse, akin to a howling ghost, as he exclaimed, "I'm sorry, Yang Na! But I'm here... here to find you!"

Li Huowang searched every single room on each floor. Upon arriving on the fourth floor, he finally found the four remaining hostage takers.

Li Huowang tilted his head and swept his gaze across the necks of each of the four men while seemingly indifferent to the hole in his chest.

The four men were afraid of Li Huowang. Even with hostages and weapons in their hands, they felt like they were mere prey before the blood-soaked Li Huowang.

Just then, the weakest and most timid among the four men let go of the young woman in his arms and said, “Can we surrender? We really didn’t do much! I wasn't even willing to rob that bank. Leopard forced me to do it, and he’s the mastermind!”

Li Huowang was about to put more strength into his hands when he suddenly felt a burning pain envelop his throat. The pain intensified rapidly, and the scenery around him distorted.

Clang!

The dagger in Li Huowang’s hands fell to the floor as he trembled violently under the extreme pain.

Yang Na ignored her own wound and rushed over to pull the falling Li Huowang into her arms.

Boom!

The scenery peeled away, and Li Huowang found himself in a pitch-black forest. He was kneeling, and the red Profound Records were right in front of him. In addition, there seemed to be something nestled within the bamboo slips.

Just then, a tongue peeked out of the bamboo slips. The Profound Records came to life as the tongue started speaking, “A tongue to turn the wheel of reincarnation! An eyelash for the boundless universe! Words cannot describe the intricacies of the realm!

"The sinister Heavens reveal what was hidden! My Master, the highest authority! Who dares disturb it?!”

The Profound Records' voice made Li Huowang feel as if he was transcending the boundaries of human perception, allowing him to sense Ba-Hui's existence. Li Huowang also managed to confirm that the Profound Records was indeed alive.

Li Huowang touched the red bamboo slips, which had transformed into red wriggling worms. Li Huowang looked up and saw a rift in the pitch-black dome. A colossal eyeball that appeared to be larger than the sky itself peered inside through the rift.

The eyeball wasn't Ba-Hui. Li Huowang could feel Ba-Hui, but it was distant. Li Huowang estimated that Ba-Hui was still in the Baiyu Capital.

The eyeball soon vanished, allowing Li Huowang to sense Ba-Hui—no, see Ba-Hui.

Li Huowang saw Ba-Hui receiving a portion of his agony, and an extreme agonizing pain descended, interweaving with Li Huowang's agony before bursting out in all directions.

Soon, everything felt the extreme agonizing pain, including Bai Lingmiao and those hunchbacks. Eventually, the extreme agonizing pain pervaded the trees, the soil, and even the air, which trembled ever so slightly in pain.

Li Huowang lifted his hands, and the pain intensified. Every new wave of pain was under Li Huowang's control. Li Huowang’s transcended perception smelt two eyeballs. One black, one white, intertwined in harmony. There were no boundaries between the two eyeballs, as their boundary canceled each other out.

Li Huowang was smack in the middle of the two eyeballs. Li Huowang raised his hands higher, peeling away all the pain from himself and poured all of it onto the two eyeballs.
