Chapter Six Hundred Thirty-Eight
Liu Heng, under Wang Chao's Naked Strangle, entered a state of asphyxiation, his brain deprived of oxygen, blood beginning to seep from his seven orifices, an extremely horrifying sight.
Everyone saw that Liu Heng had no strength left to resist.
If the strangling continued, he would eventually die of suffocation.
Moreover, if the brain lacked oxygen for too long, it would result in irreversible damage; that's how people ended up in vegetative states.
Just as Liu Heng was about to be strangled to death by Wang Chao, the people from Iron Palm Gang could no longer bear to stand by. Although it was taboo to intervene in a duel of the Hidden Sect, the Iron Palm Gang had recently suffered heavy losses. They had already lost six elders, including Tie Qiong, and now, if Liu Heng were to die as well, the core strength of the Iron Palm Gang would almost be wiped out.
So, they were prepared to do whatever it took to save Liu Heng.
