Chapter 386 - White Tower

Chapter 386 - White Tower

In the face of a formidable enemy, Li Huowang ignored the pain that had pervaded him and took out two glowing stones from his pocket. He wasted no time and hurled the glowing stones deep into the sea.

The glowing stones descended quickly, illuminating the sea and revealing the Dragon King. The Dragon King turned out to be a snake-like entity covered in black hair.

“What is that?” Li Huowang frowned. He gnashed his teeth to suppress the pain, and then he drew his sword with his right hand before slashing at his wrist. Sinister bone spikes emerged from his severed wrist, and they flew toward the so-called Dragon King.

Soon, several black tentacles wriggled out of the stump of Li Huowang's wrist, transforming into a hand. Li Huowang's left hand swept across the entity covered in black hair, and the nearby seawater was dyed in black blood.

The entity couldn't coalesce and was forced to disperse. Dark green eyes that resembled human faces appeared on the black hair. The eyes were filled with hostility and killing intent. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Those faces aren't human faces; they’re monkey faces! The Dragon King doesn't exist. It's just a bunch of water monkeys! Li Huowang deduced upon observing the faces. At least they understand human speech, even though they're just water monkeys.

Li Huowang drew the purple-tassel sword, and killing intent burst out of him as he opened his mouth and roared, “Get lost!”

The churning seawater from Li Huowang's mouth attracted the attention of the water monkeys, and they stared at Li Huowang for a while. Eventually, the entity covered in black hair swayed with the waves and disappeared as if it were terrified of Li Huowang.

The crisis had been averted, so Li Huowang got ready to return to the surface. However, he realized that the bearded bald man was missing. Where is he? I couldn't really see him earlier.

Li Huowang rushed to the surface to take a few deep breaths. Afterward, he dived down to look for the missing bearded bald man. Eventually, Li Huowang found the bearded bald man on the seabed.

Half of the bearded bald man's face was missing, and the water monkeys had gouged out his left eye. The fierce waves had peeled the bearded bald man's skin, and he looked even paler than Bai Lingmiao.

Li Huowang stared at the bearded bald man's corpse, unsure of what to say.

“Amitabha, Amitabha, you're a baldy who's done good deeds. You're an extraordinary monk,” the monk said, and then he chanted prayers for the bearded bald man.

Li Huowang sighed and grabbed the bearded bald man's corpse before swimming toward the surface. I should have tested his skills before letting him go underwater.

Just as Li Huowang was regretting his decision, the monk abruptly exclaimed, “Daoist, watch out! Something's behind you!”

Regardless, he pulled strongly, and his floppy, broken left arm slipped off the restraints as if it were made of noodles.

Li Huowang used the pinky finger of his left hand to desperately remove the restraints on his right arm, and he ended up succeeding. Unfortunately, Li Huowang could already hear approaching footsteps in the distance.

Li Huowang moved even faster, freeing himself just in time.

A prison guard rushed toward Li Huowang.

Li Huowang swung his right knee toward the prison guard, breaking the latter's ribs.

Li Huowang managed to subdue one of the prison guards, but the remaining guard swung his stun baton toward him.

The electricity that coursed through Li Huowang froze him briefly, but he gnashed his teeth and yanked the two batons away. Then, he glared at the prison guard.

The guard trembled all over, frightened by Li Huowang’s appearance. Although he still had other weapons, it seemed like the odds weren't in his favor. The prison guard suddenly recalled why this guy was admitted here.

“Li Huowang? That's your name, right? You can hear me, right?

"Calm down, calm down. Your girlfriend has just visited you not too long ago. I’ll call her over to meet you. What do you think?”

Li Huowang grabbed the magnetic stripe card and the stun baton from the fallen prison guard on the floor before rushing toward the door. I don’t care what you are. You better not think that I'm going to patiently wait for my demise in your stomach!

Li Huowang opened every single iron gate in his way and attacked the guards who dared to obstruct him. Soon, an alarm blared throughout the White Tower Prison’s mental health ward. A few specialized teams soon rushed into the ward.

Li Huowang assessed the situation rationally, and he decided not to escape through the exit. Li Huowang looked left and right before charging into the prison guard’s office.

Before the prison guards could even react, Li Huowang jumped down the fourth floor.

“Cough, cough!” Li Huowang spat out blood and forced himself to stand up.

Li Huowang ignored the mentally unstable patients nearby and smiled smugly at the enormous gray prison building behind him. I don’t care what you are, but do you really think that you can gobble me up so easily? Fat chance!
