Birthday Banquet (IX): Hidden Thorns
Silence, there wasn't much to be said and no one could even make the move to go save Erasmus who even though he was still alive and had all his blood returned into his body, was so full of holes that he would probably bleed out in a few minutes. This was the power of a spirit king, his spirits as long as they can gain a single advantage over you; it didn't matter what stage of cultivation you were in, the Crux of the matter is that you would still fall to their power.
The shocks being felt from Alex's display hit closer to home than most, especially for the sect master of the Wudang sect, after all he was there the day the power of the blood dragon was born in Alex, and never would he have imagined that a plot to kill a threat would leave him with a power that threatened even himself.
The Emperor got up from his seat as he walked towards Alex, he waved his hands and a strip of energy seemed that cover Erasmus, slowly healing him and stopping him from bleeding out.
