The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, already clutching the trident in his hand, which suddenly burst with a green light, ready to make a move.
However, a cold snort emanated from the sea of blood; to others, it meant nothing, but once it reached the ears of the Crystallization Period cultivator, it thundered like a strike on the top of his head. His body trembled, and his limbs stiffened involuntarily, fear filling his heart to the brim.
It was at that moment, a "swoosh" sounded as a streak of blood light rolled out from the sea of blood.
The crowd, taken by surprise, scattered to avoid it.
Only the middle-aged man stood rooted to the spot, motionless as the blood light enveloped him like lightning and swiftly dragged him back into the sea of blood.
From beginning to end, the Crystallization Period cultivator appeared as though he had no power to resist at all.
