Chapter 306 - Punctured Stomach
Seeing the cold look in their eyes, Li Huowang sighed. There was nothing he could say to change things. If he continued to push on, then blood would definitely be spilled. He didn’t want to hurt Bai Lingmiao’s family.
Li Huowang knew more than anyone else just how much her family meant to Bai Lingmiao.
After a moment, Li Huowang turned around and walked into the dense reeds to try and find his way back.
If that masked man is still there, then I need to think of a way to hold him down and stall for time. The Bai family needs time to escape.
However, the more he walked, the more uncertain he grew. Based on the amount of time he had walked for, he should’ve already exited the field of reeds.
After a while, he suddenly remembered what Bai Sai had said before: it was quite easy to get lost within the reed fields.
Wait, am I lost here?
Li Huowang stood still and turned around as he tried to get his bearings by observing his surroundings.
Shua!
Suddenly, a flash of metal shot out from amongst the reeds, forcing Li Huowang to dodge it.
But in the next instant, he felt an excruciating pain from his waist.
Suffering from the pain, Li Huowang instinctively opened his mouth, only to see black tentacles as they trembled and tried to come out of his mouth.
Sensing the tentacles in his mouth, Li Huowang realized something terrible.
Oh no, they have punctured my stomach!
However, before he could even react to it, more and more arrows shot out from within the reeds. The rain of arrows completely covered Li Huowang.
When arrows finally stopped, Li Huowang walked out from within the pile of arrows while holding onto his bleeding abdomen. At the same time, he eyed the field of reeds around him warily, the warmth in his eyes gone completely.
Based on the number of arrows, it was clear that the Bai family had hidden weapons within the field of reeds. This meant that the reed field was their territory and that Bai Sai hadn’t been truthful with him.
After a moment, Li Huowang carefully projected his illusion underneath the ground. After turning invisible, he slowly walked away.
I need to ask Bai Lingmiao what is going on!
Li Huowang moved slowly, his surroundings completely silent. He couldn’t hear anything else.
After four hours, Li Huowang finally stopped, panting for breath. He released the grip he had on his abdomen and looked at the bloody mess with a worried look in his eyes.
While the Black Taisui is injured, it isn’t dead. I just hope that it can still suppress the illusions.
Just as his thoughts reached this point, his surroundings suddenly started to shimmer, causing him to panic. He only sighed in relief after confirming that his surroundings hadn’t changed.
Don’t scare me like that. If I end up getting trapped in a hallucination right now, then I’m fucked!
At that moment, something suddenly burst out from the ground and phased through Li Huowang’s abdomen.
Immediately, Li Huowang felt an agonizing pain; it was as if his intestines had been severed. Cold sweat instantly covered his body.
Then, at that moment, another Wandering God appeared from beneath the ground and attacked Li Huowang. When Li Huowang cut it down with his sword, it dissipated like the wind.
Meanwhile, the remaining Wandering Gods continued to hover over Li Huowang like spirits, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
“What is happening? I’m already invisible, so how did they find me?” muttered Li Huowang.
After a moment, he looked down and saw how.
Blood.
His blood that had been dripping onto the floor was the thing that revealed his location!
At that moment, as if sensing an opening, all of the Wandering Gods attacked together.
In the face of this furious assault, Li Huowang replaced his sword with the bronze coin sword. As he chanted, the bronze coin sword exploded and sent the Wandering Gods flying, killing them.
“What are you guys doing? Don’t forget that I saved all of you!” shouted Li Huowang.
Li Huowang felt quite depressed. He had already done his best to not hurt them, so why were they attacking him relentlessly?
Suddenly, the earth beside Li Huowang bulged and exploded before a man leapt out and swung his blades down upon Li Huowang.
Finally, Li Huowang snarled and decided to fight back. Even if he killed someone, it would be better than him dying.
But just as he was about reach out for his torture tools, Li Huowang stopped his hands.
He saw the face of the man in front of him.
It was Bai Lingmiao’s father!
“Stop!” Li Huowang instinctively raised his hands to guard himself, causing his palm to be cut in half.
Then, several spears shot out from within the reeds and stabbed Li Huowang, puncturing his abdomen and nailing him to the ground.
As if on cue, even more spears shot out and stabbed Li Huowang’s limbs into the ground. Everything seems to be under the Bai family’s control now.
Li Huowang looked at their cold faces and spoke up with difficulty, “Is there a need to do this? What did I ever do to you?”
In response, one of the ladies from the Bai family said hatefully to Li Huowang, “You have no idea just how much we hate the Emperor and his officials! Since you are a dog of the Emperor, we will do whatever we want to you!”
Li Huowang swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He felt that his head was heavy and that he was disoriented, but still forced a bitter smile. “Now that you’ve won, bring me back to Cowheart Village. Ask Bai Lingmiao what to do with me. I’m her husband after all.”
Immediately, sounds of discussion erupted all around him.
After a moment, Bai Lingmiao’s mother ran to the front and glared at Li Huowang. “The parents have the last say in who their child marries! We will decide who she gets married to; we will never let her marry one of the Emperor’s dogs!”
On the other hand, Bai Lingmiao’s father looked at Li Huowang and his sorry state. Then, he threw away his blade and pulled his wife back before whispering something to her; it looked like he had his own plans.
After that, he walked over and looked at Li Huowang.
Li Huowang looked back at him, only to see that the man looked like an orange. This caused Li Huowang to laugh out in pain.
But the more Li Huowang laughed, the more realistic it looked to him. The man’s head slowly became a mushy and moldy orange.
“An orange?”
At that moment, a raindrop fell from the sky and splattered onto Li Huowang’s face, causing him to wince from the pain.
Li Huowang suddenly found himself squatting beside a garbage can in the rain. He was shivering while holding onto the moldy orange in his hands.
As if he had been electrocuted, Li Huowang jumped out and threw away the orange, causing it to fall into the mud.
Then, he looked around and realized what had happened. “Shit! The Black Taisui in my stomach got attacked, and now it has lost its power to hold back my hallucinations!”
But, at the same time, a thought popped up in his mind.
But... why am I on the streets? Shouldn’t I be locked up inside the mental hospital? What happened?
Li Huowang looked down and saw what he was wearing. He was wearing a dirty jacket over his body, while his cotton pants were completely soaked in water. He was wearing a shoe with a hole that was showing his left toe, and he only had a sock on his right.
Soaked in the rain, he looked completely like a beggar.
Unable to find an answer to his questions, he felt a sudden pain from his abdomen.
He was hungry.
He had never felt this hungry in his life; it was as if he hadn’t eaten for ten days or more.
After a moment, Li Huowang squatted down beside the dirty water and picked up the moldy orange and started eating it.
Just then, a car ran past a puddle and splashed him. However, he didn’t care.
Completely drenched, Li Huowang was soon shivering from the cold. He cuddled himself as he sat beside the green trash can while continuing to eat the moldy orange.
