Chapter 918 The ‘Pitiful’ Mao Huang

Naturally, that figure belonged to the yellow-robed peak rank 9 Dao King named Mao Huang. However, unlike the first time that Jiang Chen and the others met him, this time Mao Huang lacked any of the original poise and arrogance that he carried himself with when he interacted with others.

Instead, the only thing that could be seen was the half-dead, almost unrecognizable face of a young man who was full of wounds from head to toe, staring at his surroundings with a listless look on his face.

His previously expensive and neatly tied robes had now turned into nothing but rags that even the beggars on the streets wouldn’t throw a glance at.

Clearly, the mistreatment that Mao Huang had suffered during these past 6 months wasn’t something that could be described with mere words. It was truly no different from someone who was living like a king, suddenly losing everything and being treated worse than a slave.

And his misfortune all started half a year ago, when seemingly out of thin air, 2 extraordinarily beautiful women appeared inside the ‘Illusion Oasis’, both of them setting their sights on him at the same time.

The two of them attacked him without any explanation, ambushing him with an army of mysterious skeletons, as well as hundreds of intangible shadows from all sides, not giving him even a chance to resist.

Mao Huang wasn’t weak, and in fact he even considered himself to be one of the stronger peak rank 9 Dao Kings within the ‘Illusion Oasis’. Even those who had gone deeper in to challenge the second and third levels of the oasis weren’t much stronger than him. Still, in the face of the 2 women’s onslaught, the yellow-robed man appeared completely helpless and could only be captured in the end!

Ever since then, Mao Huang had been experiencing the worst humiliation of his life!

He was being carried in the mouth of a terrifying magic beast that was oozing with endless killing intent, while his body was still filled with countless wounds and wasn’t given a single chance to recover after their fight.

The most humiliating part was that, for some reason, Mao Huang couldn’t even muster the tiniest bit of qi to use and recover from his wounds or access his spatial ring during this time, since the hideous monster that was carrying him seemed to have the ability to suck his qi dry as well!

Thus, he had spent the past half a year without any water, food, or spiritual qi, in a body that was heavily wounded and could collapse at any moment! frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Although Dao Kings didn’t have a need for food or water and could sustain themselves with spiritual qi for more than a year without any issues, in Mao Huang’s situation where he couldn’t even absorb any spiritual qi either and on top of his extremely heavy injuries, he truly felt like he could succumb at any moment.

The only thing that kept him going was his pure willpower, as well as his hatred against the two women who had ambushed him for no reason! After all, up until this day, Mao Huang didn’t have any idea why the 2 of them had kidnapped him like this. Regardless of how much he asked during those past 6 months, Liu Mei and Xingyi refused to give him any explanation either!

Mao Huang was, without a doubt, someone who preyed on the weak but didn’t meddle with those who were too strong. His status as a disciple of the ‘Flame Emperor Palace’ made sure to protect him from any retaliation by any powerful seniors as well. Therefore, he was very meticulous about the targets he chose to exploit!

As long as it wasn’t someone in the top 100 rankings of the ‘White tiger chamber of commerce’, or someone with an extremely powerful backing, all others were fair game inside this place.

And yet, despite constantly abiding by his own rules, Mao Huang couldn’t guess how he had offended those 2 terrifying women!

Meanwhile, the moment Jiang Chen’s eyes landed on Mao Huang, despite the latter’s face having turned almost unrecognizable by the Death Eater’s treatment, he still couldn’t suppress the surge of killing intent that was rising in his heart.

Even Bai Longtian who was usually taciturn and calm, now struggled to restrain himself from killing the yellow-robed man on the spot!

Shun Long was the only one who didn’t seem to care about him at all. After throwing a single glance at the injured yellow-robed man who was now on the verge of death, he completely ignored him before he turned his attention back to Liu Mei.

Of course, although Shun Long didn’t care about Mao Huang, he clearly understood why Jiang Chen and the rest hated the man to the core.

After all, not only had Mao Huang abused his higher cultivation base to humiliate them and rob them blind, but he had even used an extremely sinister poison that inflicted tremendous amounts of pain on his target before it killed them.

Obviously, Mao Huang’s plan wasn’t just to kill his opponents, but to make them suffer as much as possible before they died!

Naturally, although Mao Huang didn’t remember any of this, Liu Mei and the others would never forget the pain that had tormented their souls back then! After all, the poison of the ‘Soul tormenting grass’ could harm even Dao Emperors if they weren’t careful, let alone middle or late-stage Dao Kings like them.

Cupping his hands, Jiang Chen faced Liu Mei and Xingyi and bowed slightly before he said in a hoarse voice

”I will not forget this favor… sisters.”

Just as his voice rang out, a gigantic fist of darkness appeared in the air above Jiang Chen, before it flew straight towards Mao Huang in the distance!

”NO! YOU BASTARDS AT LEAST TELL ME…!” Mao Huang’s furious voice was quickly drowned into nothingness as his entire body was submerged in the darkness soon after. As Jiang Chen’s fist passed through him, the peak-stage Dao King seemed to have completely vanished from the face of the ‘Endless Desert’, leaving behind nothing but a red-colored spatial ring!
