Those who understood what was happening now were instantly covered in sweat! This Terror Shield was rightfully named after it! Once it had enough energy, it would instantly shoot out these spikes in all directions. Except each one of them wouldn't be a simple cold weapon!
Such an Artefact was one of the main defensive weapons of the Artefact Alliance. But the Reaper of Fear had refined it well. If even a master on the Attraction Sphere was hit by such a strike, he would absolutely die instantly!
At this moment, even Shuo who was watching slightly clenched his fists.
'I hope the Elders will make it in time... I didn't think he would use this method.' - Lone Buddha momentarily thought.
Although it was understandable that each of the challengers would do anything to enter Reincarnation Island. That said, one would also have to be held seriously responsible for killing. This Horror Shield was one of the items that could not be controlled. If the Elders failed to protect Kai in time, he would instantly die!
Elder Traen had already prepared the Shadow Mark beforehand. As soon as he saw this item, he realised that the matter had taken a nasty turn. But it seemed like he was still waiting until the last moment... He wanted to see if Cai could show something else!
All these thoughts in the minds of those around him happened in a split second! At this moment, on the stage, Kai was rapidly flying towards his opponent! And the latter in turn was already almost finishing filling up with energy!
Taking another step, Kai literally flew towards the Terror Reaper with a stealthy stalk! In a moment, he was almost within a metre of his opponent.
- You're dead! - The Terror Reaper shouted loudly.
All the spikes on the Terror Shield began to shrink slightly. One more second and they would definitely shoot out! Kai was now almost in close proximity... At this moment, all the stands literally held their breath! It seemed like all the sounds of the world just disappeared....
'Torture King Mode!' - Mentally shouted Kai!
- Doom! - At that instant, his hair instantly turned scarlet in colour! And bloody lines spilled all over his body.
A colourless wave of air exploded from Kai's body! At this moment, many of the weak masters in the stands seemed to fall into a trance... Their eyes became blank, as if they had lost their consciousness in an instant....
But the one who felt the horror of the direct pressure was the Fear Reaper!
At this second, even the Shield of Terror shook slightly. It seemed like this guy had slightly loosened his grip! The glow also faded slightly... For a moment, he interrupted his attack!
'Enjoy the Lust Queen's Illusion! That's the kind of thing you like! Hehehe!"- With a wicked smile, Kai instantly thought.
- What the... - With a sharp jerk of his head, the Fear Reaper gave out!
He's come to his senses! He had lost his mind for just a moment, but it was enough!
At this moment, Kai had already ducked under that spherical shield. Even if the spikes shot out, they were no longer a threat to him!
Just as Kai had anticipated, this ability to bring the victim into the world of illusions was simply remarkable! It had to be said that they were not in bliss in their illusions. Rather, they were experiencing ruthless murder from their object of lust.
And the Fear Reaper was no exception! When you unexpectedly experience something like this, even after returning to reality, there would be a slight confusion waiting for you.
- You're dead! - With a manic, predatory smile, Kai shouted out!
In Torture King Mode, the aura he emitted was simply terrifying... It matched Kai's energy especially well. The Fear Reaper's forehead was instantly covered in sweat! As ironic as it may sound, he felt a primal fear or even terror!
At this second, Kai realised that he wouldn't be able to last much longer without absorbing blood. It had to be finished!
As soon as he thought that, he instantly grabbed the Fear Reaper's hand that held the Terror Shield.
- Craggh! There was the sound of bones breaking!
The people who were sitting in certain seats could see what had triggered this sound... In that instant, the Fear Reaper's arm twisted at an unnatural angle....
In Torture King Mode, Kai's bodily strength was becoming simply terrifying. After the last exchange of blows, and after enduring the aftermath of the explosion, Kai's energy was almost at zero... But that didn't mean he couldn't use his body strength!
He wanted to grab his opponent's arm, just to keep him from escaping. But Kai hadn't counted on his bodily strength being that great. He broke the bones of the Fear Reaper with such ease as if they were dry branches!
Of course, a great deal of credit was due to the fact that the Fear Reaper himself had put almost all of his energy into the Terror Shield. Now, he was almost defenseless....
- I surrender... - As soon as the Fear Reaper uttered those words, there was a loud sound of impact and bones breaking!
- Bam! Craggh! - A terribly unpleasant sound spread around the neighbourhood...
Although everyone here was a martial artist and had seen many cruel things. But still, situations like this made many people cringe or squint slightly.
Fear Reaper's body literally flew backwards, crashing into the protective barrier! Since he was originally naked, everyone could now see the effects of the impact... His chest was literally stuffed inside.....
Before he could even fall, he was instantly caught by the men in white robes!
- Craggh! Aaaaah! - The sound of crunching and the shriek of the Fear Reaper rang out again.
The people from the Medicine Hall lightning fast set some bones and popped a handful of pills into his mouth. Another strange old man also appeared in the arena and began to check on Fear Reaper's condition.
After that, he turned around to Kai and with an evil face, let his energy out.
- Doom! - The entire space trembled and Kai instantly fell to his knees!
Even in Torture King Mode, he couldn't move even a centimetre! This was a sensation even more brutal than that turtle! A trickle of blood instantly flowed from Kai's mouth....
- Boy, you're quite cruel... - The old man spoke angrily as he slowly approached him.
- My... opponent... is... no better... - Through his teeth, word by word Kai gave out.
- He wanted to surrender, but you didn't give him that chance. I think you should be taught a similar lesson. - Raising his hand, the old man said.
But as soon as he did so, a huge, purple hand instantly materialised in the air! In an instant, it struck down!
- Bam! - There was a terrifying impact!
It sent Kai flying out of the ring in a flash, and the protective barrier shattered! The people in the stands screamed, not realising what was coming now!
- Someone attacked the Shadow Sect! - Shouted one of the Personal Disciples!
- No! Look! - A second one quickly shouted out.
A cloud of dust was blown lightning fast towards the Boundless Waters! At this moment, a ruined arena appeared before everyone's eyes! The fact that this incredibly strong pavement had turned into fine rubble was simply unbelievable! Previously, no matter what destructive techniques the disciples displayed, they couldn't even leave a scratch!
At this moment, a huge, purple hand was also still on the stage. And underneath it, that old man was pinned down! But there was another one standing nearby! It was the one who was announcing the Tournament of Hundred!
- Know your place, Jugo! Be glad I didn't kill you for such frivolous actions! The rebuilding of the arena will also be at your expense! Get out of here! - In a loud, commanding tone, Elder Traen scolded!
In the next second, that purple hand literally began to dissolve into thin air. And from under the rubble, a battered old man began to emerge. One of his arms was dangling underneath in an unnatural way. He quickly lowered his head and disappeared without a word. In turn, the Fear Reaper continued to be tended to by the medics.
Lying in the distance, Kai had already cancelled the Torture King Mode. He felt that just a little more and he would start to feel the recoil.
'Damn... It seems like that old man was a master of the Fear Reaper... Is my old man also that strong!' - Looking at Elder Traen with one eye, Kai thought.
He only felt that terrifying pressure from Master Fear Reaper for a moment. And Kai was well aware that he was still holding back. Otherwise, Kai would have died in the blink of an eye. But at the same time, Elder Traen, literally crushed him with a single movement!
Old Man Mo was also a Shadow Elder. This meant that his strength should be equal!
''Amazing... And they're just the ones fooling around. True strength is carefully hidden. How will I be able to help Master Mo if I'm so far from his level...' - Breathing heavily, Kai thought.
At this moment, people from the Medicine Hall also rushed over and started examining his body. If someone said that Kai was fine, it wouldn't be true... Even without the recoil, there were many internal injuries and fractures in his body. That explosion hadn't passed by, it had left Kai severely injured, it was just that in the midst of battle, he shouldn't have thought about it.
- We're gonna get you to a room. Don't move. - One of the medics said politely and carefully moved Kai onto a stretcher.
'Damn... I hope my victory won't be denied?' - Turning his head, Kai thought.
Just at that second, Elder Traen calmly announced:
- The winner is Immortal Drunkard! He receives the right to visit Reincarnation Island and is one of the Top 100 Personal Disciples! Let's congratulate him!
As soon as the old man gave this out, the entire grandstand instantly shouted in applause! Not only did they see a fight, but they even saw an altercation between the Elders! It was truly a marvellous sight!
Even more so, many people began to learn information, and realised that Kai was only 15 years old! Breaking into the Top 100 was truly a weighty feat! You can't say it's never happened before. But you can't call it an ordinary event either! This Immortal Drunkard would definitely be among the top masters of the Shadow Sect at some point. And that meant that he was definitely worth respecting! And ideally, to strengthen a relationship with him before he became unattainable...''
'Whew... Well, at least there's no adventure here. It's even good that this old man showed up...' - Kai thought and quietly closed his eyes.
He was already starting to feel the effects of the recoil. So he decided to just stay still and rest quietly. Kai was somewhat glad that he had publicly taken damage from the Elder. Since he could now attribute his condition to it. Still, he didn't want to publicly show the other side of his trump card. Otherwise, it might be taken advantage of by detractors in the future....
- Next fight! Poison Fox vs. Wind Prince! But first, wait a few minutes! - The old man announced loudly.
As soon as he said that, he raised his hands in the air..... At that moment, the entire air literally began to distort! And the temperature of the surroundings seemed to blaze! But surprisingly, it was only limited to the arena's boundaries and didn't affect anyone around them.
- Crack! Crack! - The crunching of rocks was heard!
The next moment, all the broken boulders that were previously the arena began to split and compact. Literally in front of my eyes, the entire arena was transforming into a generally flat surface, although not perfect.
