The moment they heard the voice, Sun Wukong, Ye Zi, Ming Tiekuang, and even the Dragon Emperor instinctively looked up towards their front left. It wasn't for any special reason, but because the voice was simply too miserable, sounding as if someone had just been tortured with the most brutal punishment in the world. Moreover, the two utterances of 'Dragon Lord' also made everyone pause. Was Wu Ming really so spineless? It didn't seem like the domineering presence a powerhouse should have.
Just as everyone instinctively looked up, four incredibly sharp, blood-red spikes suddenly rose from the ground beneath their feet. There was one spike for each person, and the one aimed at the Dragon Emperor was particularly thick and sharp. These blood thorns appeared so abruptly and without any warning that, coupled with their minds being distracted by that wretched scream, they were all impaled by the spikes in an unforeseen attack.
