Ji Dong's Vermilion Bird armor activated automatically, clinging to his skin, but it was useless against the Flying Serpent. His pain did not diminish but instead intensified. Layers of milky radiance continuously radiated from his body. His Magic Power, overwhelmed by the icy hot flow coursing through him, failed to offer any protection or alleviate his pain.
Big droplets of sweat soaked the sand underneath Ji Dong, reducing him to an unrecognizable condition. Blood continuously seeped from the corners of his mouth, not because of an injury but due to his clenched teeth biting into his gums. However, this didn't last long, for under the violent writhing of the Flying Serpent, his jawbone too was dislocated.
Ji Dong's consciousness began to blur. Even his ironclad will could not hold up his body against such torment as it began to trigger its self-preservation mechanism.
