Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 489 - 487: A Person with Nothing Left to Live For

"Da Pao, get out here!"

Huo Wu pointed at Da Pao, an eager glint in her eyes.

At that moment, Da Pao felt a shiver run down his spine.

He scrambled over to Jiang Chen and pleaded tearfully, "Jiang the Military Advisor, save me! Please, save me!"

Jiang Chen felt a great deal of sympathy seeing Da Pao’s pathetic state.

But he still said helplessly, "Da Pao, my hands are tied. You’re on your own."

Jiang Chen had no desire to provoke the icy woman. He wasn’t even sure what Huo Wu wanted.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s refusal, Da Pao nearly fainted on the spot.

He hugged Jiang Chen’s leg and wailed, "Jiang the Military Advisor! Brother Jiang! I’m begging you on my knees! If you don’t save me now, I’m dead!"

But before Jiang Chen could speak,

Huo Wu had already strode over.

With a practiced motion, she reached out, grabbed Da Pao by the scruff of his neck, and lifted him.

"Act like a man and get up."

"I’m not going to eat you."

Da Pao’s eyes rolled back in his head as he tried to fake a faint.

’After all, this woman might not eat people, but she could definitely beat someone to death.’

Since Jiang Chen wouldn’t save him, his life was forfeit.

"Stop faking," Huo Wu said. "I just got back, and I’ve been itching for a good fight."

Huo Wu carried Da Pao as effortlessly as if he were a baby chick.

She started walking outside, but paused at the door and looked back at Jiang Chen. "Jiang the Military Advisor, aren’t you going to come watch the fun?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Very well, I’ll come watch."

Since she hadn’t come to cause trouble for him, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He brought Xiao Jun and followed after Huo Wu.

They headed straight for the training grounds.

The training grounds were already surrounded by many of the Third Prince’s guards.

However, they were all below the Martial King Cultivation level.

As for those at the Martial King level or above, not a single one was present.

THUD!

Huo Wu hauled Da Pao onto the arena stage and tossed him down.

Da Pao let out a tragic wail.

Lying on the ground, he wailed for mercy, "General Huo Wu, please spare me, won’t you?"

But his plea was ignored as Huo Wu rubbed her hands together and produced a whip.

Almost simultaneously, a collective shiver went through the crowd of onlookers.

Cold sweat dripped down many of their faces.

"It’s over. Da Pao’s about to get another lesson from General Huo Wu."

"That’s General Huo Wu’s Seven Fragrance Whip! It’s a Magical Treasure at the Treasure Artifact Level, incredibly powerful."

"Lord Da Pao, don’t even bother struggling. Just try to enjoy it."

Someone even shouted from the crowd.

Da Pao wished he could jump down and strangle whoever just said that.

But right now, he couldn’t even save himself.

He pleaded ceaselessly, "General Huo Wu, spare me! I’ll be your slave, your servant, anything!"

CRACK!

Huo Wu cracked the whip in her hand.

Her expression was cold. "Enough. Take out your Magical Treasure. Let’s cross blades."

"I was gone for a few days, and I bet you all got cocky. Come on, I’m itching for a fight myself."

Standing at the edge of the training grounds, Jiang Chen felt a headache coming on.

’No wonder everyone fears Huo Wu like a tigress,’ Jiang Chen thought. ’With a temper like that, it’s easy to see why.’

’Da Pao is done for.’

He finally understood why Da Pao had been begging for his life.

He shot Da Pao a sympathetic glance and settled in to watch the show.

"Still haven’t taken out your Magical Treasure?"

Huo Wu barked from the stage.

Da Pao trembled, scrambled to his feet, and immediately tried to leap off the stage.

WHOOSH!

While he was still in mid-air, the long whip shot from Huo Wu’s hand and coiled around him.

With a sharp tug, she yanked Da Pao back onto the stage.

Releasing him, Huo Wu said coolly, "You only get one chance."

"Dare to run again, and I’ll kill you."

Da Pao gave a pained smile. "General, could you maybe go easy on me?"

Huo Wu nodded solemnly.

"Of course."

"I don’t usually hit hard."

This time, Da Pao was filled with the grim resolve of a warrior marching to his death.

He finally let out a great roar.

He produced a Magical Treasure, a Wolf Fang Club.

And charged viciously at Huo Wu.

CRACK!

After a single exchange, the Wolf Fang Club was sent flying from Da Pao’s hand.

Knocked away by Huo Wu’s whip.

’It’s over,’ Da Pao thought.

CRACK!

Sure enough, in the next instant, Huo Wu’s Seven Fragrance Whip struck like a shadow.

It landed squarely on Da Pao’s body.

"AGH...!"

Da Pao let out a bloodcurdling scream.

He was sent flying across the stage.

He collapsed onto the stage.

Da Pao actually started to cry.

"Again!"

Huo Wu showed not an ounce of sympathy.

Da Pao’s body convulsed from the blow. He looked back at Huo Wu miserably. "You’re a Martial King Fifth Heaven... you’re bullying me."

Huo Wu said coolly, "How is it bullying when it’s a woman hitting you?"

"Are you a man or not? Get up. Let’s go again."

Needless to say, what followed was Huo Wu giving Da Pao a thorough whipping on the stage.

His miserable screams echoed continuously.

Xiao Jun, trembling beside Jiang Chen, said in horror, "Sir, no ordinary man could ever handle a woman like that."

It was true. Watching Da Pao get beaten so badly, even Xiao Jun felt that Huo Wu was going too far.

But no one dared to say a word.

Soon, a thoroughly brutalized Da Pao was thrown off the stage by Huo Wu.

"Useless. You haven’t improved at all."

"If you don’t start taking your Cultivation seriously, you can expect more beatings from me."

Then she yelled to the crowd, "Go and get General Cao Yang! Hurry!"

"If he dares to refuse, tell him he’ll have hell to pay."

Da Pao truly felt the urge to just run headfirst into a wall and die.

’Where could he show his face now? What happened to his dignity as a man?’

He felt a surge of resentment toward Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen said to Xiao Jun, "Go help Da Pao up."

Xiao Jun cautiously approached the stage. He shot a wary glance at Huo Wu, but seeing that she was ignoring him, he quickly helped the twitching Da Pao to his feet and hurried back to the sidelines.

"Jiang the Military Advisor, you’re truly heartless."

"Why didn’t you save me?"

Da Pao was utterly heartbroken, his eyes filled with the despair of one who had lost all will to live.

Jiang Chen said consolingly, "You’ve been through a lot."

He was struggling to keep from laughing.

’This Huo Wu is truly ruthless,’ he thought. ’She doesn’t show a shred of mercy.’

Da Pao swallowed a healing Elixir. Though his body was injured, it was his spirit that felt utterly exhausted.

He looked to the sky and sighed, "When will this torture ever end?"

「Some time later.」

Cao Yang arrived at the training grounds.

But as soon as he got there, he stood below the stage, pleading pitifully.

"General, please just spare me this time, won’t you?"

"I surrender."

It was obvious the coming scene would be a life-or-death struggle—and either way, it wouldn’t be Huo Wu who suffered.

Cao Yang had been hiding, but now he knew he couldn’t escape his fate.

On the stage, Huo Wu’s eyes were like ice. "Cut the crap. Get up here."

"I’m going to test your Cultivation and see if you’ve made any progress lately."

Her words were like those of a domineering older sister pushing her little brother to do his homework.

Cao Yang’s knees nearly gave out, and he almost collapsed right there.
