Chapter 684 - Eight Sufferings

With his eyes shut tightly, Li Huowang sensed that he had wounded his opponent. He decisively drew a flint across his skin, and flames enveloped his entire body.

Whatever this creature was, he needed to go all out given its immense size.

He controlled his two arms and a dozen tentacles, then grasped the wound's edges and tore it open further with a fierce roar.

Li Huowang plunged into the wound, accompanied by a ripping sound. He wielded three swords in his three hands, then charged through the creature’s body while engulfed in flames.

He repaid the frustration they had suffered back to this unknown creature by a thousandfold.

He soon heard the sizzle of burning flesh interspersed with anguished roars resembling the agonized cries of a dragon. The intense trembling nearly made him open his eyes.

The more the creature struggled, the deeper he burrowed. When the pressure eased, Li Huowang realized he had pierced right through the creature.

The sizzling sound of burning flesh gave way to the sound of intense flames, and Li Huowang felt himself falling.

Just as he hit the ground, he opened his eyes and saw the storm clouds turning into burning clouds that quickly dissipated. He had won.

Water! Li Huowang landed in the mud with a splash. Moments later, he spat out the mud and crawled out of the soil.

When he stood up again, the rain had stopped. The thin rays of the morning sunlight shone on his charred face.

The air after the rain was fresh, and everything seemed finally over, regardless of whether the creature was dead or just wounded.

The three monkey children had never witnessed such things before. They regarded Li Huowang as a god, and they kowtowed to him with utmost reverence.

Li Huowang didn’t care about their reactions. Instead, he gazed at the sky as he contemplated other matters. UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

That creature was not an ordinary evil spirit. However, it didn’t feel strong enough to be a Siming.

If he had to define it, he thought the creature resembled a God of Happiness, or something similar to the beings outside Baiyu Capital.

The world was not simply black and white, nor were there only mortals and Simings. There was a vast spectrum in between.

He didn’t care about himself, but he was concerned about Yang Na and his mother.

Li Huowang opened his phone and dialed a number. “Hello, it’s me. Have you found the source of those two severed fingers?”

“It’s been so long, and you still haven’t found anything? Is your database comprehensive or not? You can’t even trace two severed fingers.”

“What do you mean there are more important matters than two fingers? Once again, I am not crazy! Someone is actually trying to kidnap me!”

He heard the door open behind him, then hung up and turned to see Yang Na holding a a fruit platter. He asked gently, “How are you feeling?”

Yang Na shook her head slightly and placed the fruit platter on the table. She held his hands and asked, “Huowang, what’s wrong? Is it the side effects of the medicine?”

“Of course not, haha, I’m fine. Just thinking about some things.” He hesitated for a while, then said, “Nana, can you do me a favor?”

“Sure, what do you need?” Yang Na nodded.

“I need to visit Kangning Hospital to see an old friend, but I don’t want my mother to come along. Can you go with me?”

The enemy was still around and he needed to see Qian Fu, even if the man was mad and incoherent.

His words had proven true. The surveillance had been tampered with, and someone was indeed after him. Li Huowang couldn’t ignore this.

Yang Na didn’t ask further because Li Huowang needed her help. She hugged him gently and nodded. “Okay.”

Li Huowang and Yang Na set off while Sun Xiaoqin was away.

Before they could leave the complex, Madam Qi and two elderly men blocked them at the gate. “Little Li, where are you going? Where’s your family?”

“I'm going to Kangning Hospital,” Li Huowang replied honestly.

“Why are you going to the psychiatric hospital? Do you have a valid reason?” Madam Qi asked suspiciously.

Li Huowang faced her scrutinizing gaze and retorted, “You know I have a mental illness. Why else would I go to a psychiatric hospital? Of course, it’s for a follow-up. What, is that not allowed?”
