Chapter 600: Consuming Medicine

The restrained Li Huowang was in a padded cell somewhere inside Kangning Hospital, and he was staring right into Wu Cheng's eyes.

Wu Cheng chuckled at Li Huowang's words, asking, “You want to talk to the boss? Sure, but you must agree to work with us, or you won’t get to see him at all.”

Li Huowang seemed to be struggling deep inside, which hinted that he was clearly unwilling to work with Wu Cheng. However, he caught a glimpse of Yang Na on the tablet and sighed.

“Fine, I will cooperate with you. Let me talk to your boss! I can’t let you all take the profits, after all!”

Wu Cheng nodded and tapped on the tablet. Soon, Li Huowang saw an old man wearing a suit. The old man's hair was short and white; he was sitting on a sofa and was wearing sunglasses, so Li Huowang had no idea whether the old man was staring at him or not.

The boss wanted lifespan pills, and there was an old man before him. It wasn't that difficult for Li Huowang to deduce that the old man in the tablet was Wu Cheng's "boss."

“Li Huowang,” the old man said. The fact that he had said Li Huowang's name meant that he was quite familiar with Li Huowang. “My name is Xu Shou, but you can call me Sir Xu.”

Li Huowang glared at the old man and memorized every single detail about the latter. He needed as much information as he could acquire to come up with a plan.

The old man was the mastermind behind Wu Cheng and Wang Wei. If Li Huowang wanted to resolve this issue, then he had to attack it at the roots, which meant dealing with the old man!

Li Huowang had no plans of working with them and had merely pretended like he was going to cooperate with them.

“Sir Xu? Can I ask you a question? Why have you decided to do this to me? What do you want?” Li Huowang asked.

Sir Xu leaned forward and said, “I have no reason to tell you that. The only thing that you need to do is to show me your value. I’ve seen you whip out gold from out of nowhere, but I know that technology has become mature enough that anyone can easily edit any footage to show whatever they want to show everyone. If you want to show me your value, then you need to whip out something really special.”

Li Huowang chuckled. It seemed that the old man still had no trust in him and was afraid that Li Huowang was just a lunatic.

Despite that, he desperately wanted Li Huowang to bring lifespan pills from the other side to this side.

Clearly, the old man was on the brink of death.

“Wu Cheng, I entrust everything to you. Call me once he has brought out the item," Sir Xu said before unilaterally ending the call.

Wu Cheng put the tablet down and took out a bottle of pills. He shook it and poured it into his hand before showing it to Li Huowang.

“So it's you? I should’ve seen that coming. There are only a few people capable of wielding lightning in this region, and who else would have such a high achievement at it?” Li Huowang asked. He snarled at the familiar face before continuing, “You are working with the Twisted One of Doulao! How dare you say that you have no relations with the Sitting Oblivion Dao?”

Huangfu Tiangang frowned upon seeing Li Huowang's change in demeanor.

“What are you talking about? The Sitting Oblivion Dao has been eradicated. I am the Imperial Preceptor. I am responsible for the safety of the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom!”

“Scram! How dare you try to disrupt the friendship between me and Gao Zhijian? Do you really think that I'm going to believe your words right now?”

“The emperor doesn't want to kill you, but the previous emperors have a different opinion of you. The fact that you made quick work of the Dragon Vein means that you're a threat. You'd be nothing but trouble for us, unless we can make us of you!”

“Haha! Huangfu Tiangang, you can’t even lie properly. You shouldn't join the Sitting Oblivion Dao, as you'd ruin their reputation if you do so.”

Li Huowang chuckled and raised his remaining arm to search for the little saw in his bag of torture tools. He stabbed the little saw into his waist and remained unblinking despite the pain.

“You want lifespan pills? Fine, I will give you some!” Li Huowang exclaimed. He had just raised his left arm when a lightning bolt flashed past him, severing some of his fingers.

He only had one finger remaining on his left hand.

Despite the powerful attack, Li Huowang didn't hesitate and jammed his remaining finger deep into his throat.

“Blegh!”

A thunderous boom echoed.

Li Huowang opened his mouth and spat out the pills straight toward Wu Cheng’s face.

Wu Cheng flailed around in disgust before taking off his robes to wipe away Li Huowang's saliva on his face.

When he was done wiping himself clean, he looked up and saw that Li Huowang's abdomen was bleeding.

Somehow, Li Huowang was holding a little saw and was smiling ruthlessly at Wu Cheng.

“Wait!” Wu Cheng exclaimed. His words had just fallen when Li Huowang pounced on him and bit his face hard. “AAARRRGGGHHH!”
