Chapter 387: I'm Sorry

Whats up with him? How did he survive such a long jump? Should we call the ambulance?

Guard! Someone's injured here!

Ah! I know him! I saw him on TV! Apparently, hes a hero who fought for the people.

Look, his hand is injured! Hes really pitiful.

The whisperings of the nearby patients didnt disturb Li Huowang at all.

He looked away from the prison building and looked around. Ive come out of its belly, but Im still in the water. I have to get back on the ship soon, or I'm going to drown!

Li Huowang's gaze eventually landed on a distant steel watchtower. The steel watchtower seemed to be located on the periphery of the White Tower Prison. A soldier with a gun was scratching his neck and was staring in their direction in confusion.

The tower was high and was the highest place throughout the prison.

There's no mistaking it! Thats my ship! Li Huowang quickly raised his hands as if he were swimming. He swung his arms constantly while heading toward the steel watchtower as if he were swimming.

Li Huowang could feel his entire body screaming at him, and his arms were so fatigued that he could hardly lift his arms. He felt like collapsing to the ground.

The hints that his body was throwing at him allowed Li Huowang to deduce that the monster had seriously injured him. Of course, he had no idea whether his injury was caused by the monster's teeth or by its stomach acid.

Regardless, he wouldn't give up so easily.

Li Huowang used all his strength to swim, and he muttered to himself, Li Sui, help your dad swim faster! I cant see whats happening over there right now, so Im counting on you!

Li Huowang felt a surge of strength just then, and he inwardly exclaimed, Thank you, Li Sui!

A large group of prison guards rushed out of the prison gate, and they wielded a variety of weaponslarge nets, iron forks, and more.

They rushed anxiously toward Li Huowang, and hot pursuit ensued on the oval-shaped field of the White Tower Prison grounds. A group of armed figures was chasing after someone who was running like he was swimming at the same time.

Li Huowang was slower than them, so the distance between the two sides narrowed rapidly.

Li Huowang found out that a dense wire mesh wall was separating the watchtower from the periphery of the prison grounds. However, Li Huowang remained undeterred and stuck his fingers into the gaps to start climbing up the wall.

The soldier on the watchtower noticed that they were losing control of the situation, so he hurriedly raised his gun and closed one eye to aim at Li Huowang.

Don't shoot! Absolutely do not shoot! a panicked roar echoed from the crowd behind Li Huowang. He has gone viral! We'll be in trouble if he dies here!"

Meanwhile, Li Huowang had finally scaled the wire mesh wall.

Unfortunately, a rolling cage with spikes appeared before him. Li Huowang reached out to one of the spikes, but a blue arc of lightning jumped from the spike toward Li Huowang's finger, which meant that the spikes were filled with high-voltage electricity.

The iron forks and nets retracted quickly at the sight, afraid of getting electrocuted.

This little pain is not enough to stop me! Li Huowang's expression turned fierce as he grabbed the rolling cage with one arm and forcefully flipped himself onto the spiked cage. His skin burned, and smoke rose almost immediately from his clothes.

Turn it off! Hurry up! someone roared.

Li Huowang looked like he was about to catch fire anytime soon, and the sight dumbfounded everyone down below. Li Huowang was enveloped in smoke, but he could still move.

Goodness, are we staring at a human being?

Li Huowang used the final vestiges of his strength to jump onto the watchtowers iron platform. Li Huowang panted heavily, and he felt numb all over. His vision swam and had dimmed as well.

Li Huowang was truly tired, as he had just squeezed out the final vestiges of his strength to jump onto the iron platform. However, he could see that he was so close to the shipthe end was so near, and he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste.

Li Huowang took a deep breath and stood up. He used his scorched hand to support himself on the railing as he staggered toward the stairs that led to the top of the watchtower.

The two soldiers on duty had no idea whether to raise or lower their guns. In the end, they pointed their guns to the floor and watched as the terrifying lunatic climbed up the stairs to reach them.

The lunatic soon reached them, but he stopped moving. Clearly, the lunatic had no intention of attacking them. Of course, Li Huowang didnt need to move, as he knew that he had already returned to the deck of the ship and had survived the ordeal.

Li Huowang panted heavily and muttered, Captain, dont.. stop. Keep going toward Xing Island.

Loud alarm bells abruptly echoed in Li Huowang's heart, and he was startled out of his daze by the sound of approaching footsteps. Li Huowang rushed toward the wall on the other side and made sure there was enough distance between him and the newcomers.

Li Huowang swept his gaze across the iron forks in the newcomers' hands and roared, Water monkeys, right? Dont even think about dragging me back into the water!

The newcomers remained undeterred and stepped forward.

At the sight, Li Huowang decisively raised his right hand and pressed it on his left eye.

Huowang! someone exclaimed. Li Huowang froze instantly upon hearing the familiar cry. Li Huowang then peered over the shoulders of the water monkeys and saw a figure in white.

The figure in white was Yang Na, and she looked extremely haggard.

The sight made Li Huowang feel as though someone had thrust a dagger into his heart.

Huowang, are you awake? Do you still recognize me? asked Yang Na.

Li Huowang instinctively lowered his head, avoiding her gaze. He languidly raised his hand and roared, I am the Great Sage, Sun Wukong! Today, I will break through the Lingxiao Palace and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace!

Li Huowang laughed with tears streaming down his face while dancing before everyone like a real lunatic.

Yang Na almost collapsed at the heart-wrenching sight, and she roared, Huowang! What do you want me to do?! I really cant forget you!

Li Huowang came to a halt, and his expression changed drastically as he staggered toward Yang Na. He raised his bloody right hand, revealing a small white wildflower the size of a fingernail.

Someone sneaked up on Li Huowang from behind and smashed the butt of their gun toward Li Huowang's arm, bending it in a grotesque way. Then, someone tackled Li Huowang, and the nearest two soldiers immediately rushed toward Li Huowang, pressing him firmly to the ground.

The others were afraid that the martial lunatic would suddenly go crazy and injure the others, so they hurried over to suppress Li Huowang. More and more people pounced on Li Huowang, and it seemed like they wanted to drown Li Huowang in a sea of flesh.

Li Huowangs gaze pierced the swaying crowd and landed on the helpless and despairing Yang Na.

Nana... Im sorry for what happened back then Li Huowang muttered.
