Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1175 Sudden Reversal

The multitude of attacks were a lot for King Hong to bear and eventually he couldnʼt keep up, ending up in his current situation.

~cough~ Cough~

”Damn… already?” King Hong spat out a mouthful of blood.

The ice spear stuck in his chest was already starting to melt under his bodyʼs fiery heat, but the damage done was still there. Even with his enhanced healing, a wound this large and deep couldnʼt be healed automatically.

He would certainly need pills and other supportive measures to heal himself.

ʼI canʼt even use my spatial storage ring with my spirit Qi restrained,ʼ King Hong thought as he looked around.

The Northern Tribesʼ people looked at King Hong like hyenas gazing at an injured deer.

While it seemed like King Hong was using his flames as a Qi skill, it wasnʼt like that. All his spirit Qi was still restrained, and the only thing he had broken out of was the physical restriction.

The flames and strength he was using were coming directly from his physique and bloodline. And to use it, he was exhausting his vital energy in exchange. Doing something like this for the normal cultivator was very dangerous.

Only those like Lin Mu and King Hong with massive vitalities could do it. For others, if they used up their vital energy beyond a certain level, they would start burning away their very life itself.

The prospects of this were understandable and King Hong might end up the same if he didnʼt stop fighting soon enough. The injury he had sustained only made things harder for him now, too.

”Finish him quickly. We have a lot more to go through.” Ku Mi ordered.

The other Dao Treading Realm experts rushed at him and one attack after the other landed, injuring him further.

King Hongʼs entire body turned bloody in a minute and the flames on his body had dimmed a lot as well. He now looked like a lamp that was about to go out and could barely keep his eyes open.

”Haaa…. Haa… HAA…. Bastards… just need a little more time…” King Hong panted.

”More time? No, itʼs now time for you to die.” One of the Dao Treading Realm cultivators said as he stabbed towards King Hong with a knife.

ʼI canʼt move… shit!ʼ King Hong thought as his eyes went wide.

His legs felt like they were filled with lead and his body itself felt like a mountain was put on it. He knew that he had expended too much of his vital energy in order to use the flames.

King Hong could only watch on helplessly as the tip of the knife reached for his throat. The alliance members who were watching it felt humiliated and furious. They too felt helpless at being unable to rescue their comrade who was doing his best to buy them more time.

The Dao Treading Realm elders of the alliance felt like this status and cultivation base was all useless and they were sham if they couldnʼt even rescue one person with a lower cultivation base than them.

ʼIt just had to be the original spirit sealing array… if it was one made manually, I might have been able to break it. But with an immortal tool applying it, its impossible.ʼ Jiao Fang thought to himself.

Since he had gotten the inheritance of Yulong who was a spy from the Northern Tribes and even had his soul and memories merged into him, he knew a lot more than others. And he certainly knew about the spirit sealing arrays as well as the method to break them.

But even those spirit sealing arrays were of different types and complexities. It just so happened that the spirit sealing array activated by Master Bell Mountain was the original spirit sealing array on which all the others were based on.

This one had no flaws that Jiao Fang or Yulong knew about, thus all he could do was watch.

~RUAAAAAAAA!!!!~

It was at this moment that an earth shaking roar was heard.

It didnʼt feel like it belonged to a beast or a human though, it was entirely different. And when that roar echoed in the battlefield, the people on it felt fear. It was the primal fear one would feel when encountering a predator, but it went a step beyond it.

It was as if the existence of the being that had just appeared was essentially created to kill them all.

A blood curdling and deep crimson aura rose from a certain location on the battlefield, shrouding it entirely.

”AGH!” King Hong took advantage of this opportunity where his attacker was distracted and tilted his neck just enough.

~slick~

The knife still cut the side of his neck, but didnʼt hit any artery preventing him from dying right away.

~BAM~

King Hong gritted his teeth and knocked onto the hand of the Dao Treading Realm cultivator with the knife, making him drop the knife and letting King Hong retreat.

The man didnʼt miss a beat and was ready to retaliate, feeling a little vitality return to his body. But then he saw the state of his foes and found them to be stunned.

Narrowing his eyes, King Hong looked in the distance and only saw an area filled with deep crimson fog. It was as if the blood hundreds of being had been turned into vapor and was filling it.

~shiver~

But that was merely the start of it. A moment later, everyone felt shivers going down their spine, King Hong even more so.

ʼWhatʼs this feeling… why does it feel like my bloodline itself is screaming out to run?ʼ King Hong wondered, trying to calm his frantically beating heart.

~ROAR!!!~

It was at this time that another roar was heard, from the area filled with deep crimson fog.

”The fog… its moving!” someone said out loud.

Unknowingly, everyone that was frozen until now moved! The restraints on their body loosened up, and they turned their necks to face the deep crimson fog.
