Chapter 817 - Bloody Carnage
When the Demon Emperor began approaching them, Yan Hara and the other four demon sealings immediately readied their treasures to fight it.
However, the Demon Emperor sealed their movements before they could even move with a sudden outburst of killing intent that surpassed anything it had released before.
While killing intent normally paralyzes those affected by it most of the time, if strong enough, one could even kill another using purely just killing intent, as there's only so much stress and pressure one's heart could endure before something goes horribly wrong.
When the five demon sealers experienced the Demon Emperor's intense killing intent, they all coughed up a mouthful of blood, and their instincts screamed for them to run away, but their bodies did not listen to their commands, almost as though their connections had been severed by their fear of the Demon Emperor.
"Today, I shall let you experience despair and death."
The Demon Emperor said to them before taking a deep breath.
"Bloody Carnage."
After uttering these chilling words, the Demon Emperor suddenly exploded into a bloody mess, shocking the demon sealers.
However, the Demon Emperor did not regenerate like it normally would. Instead, it would form into a ball of blood that hovered in the air.
Although the demon sealers had no idea what the Demon Emperor was trying to do, they had a very bad feeling about it.
It was at this moment a hole opened up in the Blood Sphere, and a red and black flag flew inside, landing right beside Yan Hara.
"Wha—"
Before she could even wonder what the Demon Sealing Flag was doing there, the Demon Sealing Flag wrapped its flag around her body.
"W-What's going on?! Hey!"
Yan Hara subconsciously began struggling to break free, but it was no use, as the Demon Sealing Flag had completely restrained her.
The other four demon sealers were left dumbfounded by this sudden event, but they had no time to ponder about it, as the Demon Emperor would strike a moment later.
The ball of blood that had been hovering about 25 meters away from the demon sealers suddenly began expanding exponentially.
In just mere seconds, the ball of blood had expanded over 10 times until it covered almost the entire arena.
The demon sealers beside Yan Hara immediately rushed to the end of the Blood Sphere and tried to break out. Whatever the Demon Emperor was up to, they did not want to be part of it, but the Blood Sphere was incredibly durable, and not even their strongest treasures could create a hole in the wall of blood that confined them.
"Leader! Help us! Leader Qian!" Jiang Ziya, who belonged to the Demon Sealing Grotto, screamed out loud for help.
"I quit! Get me out of here! If any of us dies here today, the Demon Sealing Grotto will not let this go!" Zu Ti, who was also part of the Demon Sealing Grotto also screamed for Qian Chu's help.
However, there was no response from the Grand Elders or Qian Chu.
Outside the Blood Sphere, Elder Cen looked at Qian Chu with a frown and spoke, "There's something wrong. We should stop this event and restrain the Demon Emperor before someone gets hurt or worse— die."
Qian Chu, who was still looking for the person who used the Demon Sealing Flag, stopped and looked at Elder Cen with a calm yet sharp gaze.
"Of course, we can stop the event. However, that would mean the Demon Sealing Grotto is not confident in their own demon sealers."
The frown on Elder Cen's face grew deeper, and he responded, "And you believe that the Demon Sealing Clan's demon sealer would be able to defeat that Demon Emperor?"
Qian Chu smiled, "I wouldn't have allowed them to participate if I wasn't confident in their abilities."
Elder Cen continued to stare at Qian Chu for a few more seconds before turning to look at the Blood Sphere with a contemplating face.
"I will stop the event." Qian Chu suddenly said.
But as he began moving towards the Blood Sphere, Elder Cen spoke, "Wait."
And he continued, "Let's wait a little longer before we make any move. They have plenty of life-saving treasures, so they won't die even against a Demon Emperor."
Qian Chu didn't say anything else and returned to his seat.
Meanwhile, inside the Blood Sphere, the demon sealers were desperately crying for help.
"Damn it! Why are none of my teleport talismans working?!" Shen Yue of the Demon Sealing Grotto exclaimed in a stressed tone when her talismans failed to activate no matter how much spiritual energy she poured into them.
"It must be due to this damn thing containing us! We need to get out of here as soon as possible!" Jiang Ziya said.
"Continue attacking the wall! I don't believe that we cannot break through!" Suo Rengan shouted.
"Fuck! Qian Chu! What the fuck are you doing?! Hurry up and save us!" Zu Ti cursed out loud.
"This must be a trap the Demon Sealing Clan has set for us! I knew we couldn't trust these bastards!" Shen Yue began shedding tears due to their situation.
"That's bullshit! If this is a trap, then what am I doing here?! There's also Yan Hara! And the Leader wouldn't do such a thing!" Suo Rengan refuted her claims and defended Qian Chu's honor.
After all, why would the Demon Sealing Clan sacrifice two of their most talented Master Demon Sealers just to kill three people from the Demon Sealing Grotto?
Although the Demon Sealing Clan and the Demon Sealing Grotto's relationship has worsened lately, it wasn't at the point where the leader of the Demon Sealing Clan would sacrifice his own people to get back at the Demon Sealing Grotto— at least it shouldn't!
"I don't care what you say! The Demon Sealing Grotto will—" Before Shen Yue could even finish her sentence, the ball of blood that was now the size of a small mountain suddenly exploded, sending millions of small but deadly projectiles all over the arena with each of these projectiles deadly enough to kill a Spirit King instantly.
