Walker Of The Worlds

It was clear that Chang Fa had reached a point where he couldn’t hold back even if he wanted to. 

His attack had already been executed and if it continued, Miu Ran’s life would quite likely be ended.

After all, while an immortal could survive a broken spine, they wouldn’t be able to do the same with their neck. 

Only their Nascent soul would survive this, but that would still be a grave setback for the immortal. Finding a suitable body might not be difficult for someone on the level of Miu Ran, but it would certainly come at a cost.

~KACHA~

And just as was feared, the man’s waist was the first to be broken. His torso was turned around, his chest facing in the direction of his heels. But as if one turn was not enough, Chang Fa’s hair was now turning Miu Ran’s neck back!

If it succeeded, the man’s chest would face the back, but his head would still face forward!

It was a terrifying thought.

~CRACK~

Miu Ran’s neck was turned around 120 degrees when cracking sounds were already heard. But just as it was about to progress any further, a sudden force descended upon both Chang Fa and Miu Ran.

Chang Fa’s hair suddenly stopped moving while Miu Ran’s body turned into a flash of light.

~WHOOSH~

With Miu Ran no longer in the grip of Chang Fa’s hair, the two thick strands clapped together, creating a loud snapping sound.

~SNAP~

And a moment later, Chang Fa’s body also turned into a flash of light before being teleported out of the Spatial Plane.

~SHUA~

“Miu Ran has been defeated! Chang Fa is the winner!” The announcement was heard after a slight pause, confirming the win of the Iron Pillar Mane Arts inheritor.

The win did not result in the cacophony of cheers though.

It was strange since most of the people in the audience would burst out and shout in excitement. Instead, all of them were looking at the formation screen with a look of shock.

Some even had a hint of terror mixed into their expressions, possibly imagining what would happen if they were in the position of Miu Ran.

Still, as if this wasn’t enough, the next set of events further made them scared.

“QUICK HEALERS!” the elder watching over the platform shouted.

~WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~

A team of healers from the temple quickly arrived and checked up on Miu Ran, who was lying on the ground.

Now that there was no hair covering him, his actual condition could be seen clearly.

His limbs had been twisted and looked gnarly, while his flesh was ripped in the process. Fragments of bones poked out from the man’s joints while copious amounts of blood leaked out of it.

The worst wasn’t even his limbs though, it was his torso.

The man had been twisted from his waist, causing his spine to be severed! 

But the twisting motion had also torn the skin around his stomach and flank apart revealing his internals.

“He’s in a grave condition!”

“His internal organs are all damaged!”

But when the healers checked him, they realized that the condition was a lot worse than they had thought. Not only had Miu Ran suffered damage to his externals, even his internal along with an important meridian had been broken.

With such a condition, even using healing pills would be ineffective.

One would need direct treatment from a great healer with their techniques to survive something like this.

“ACK! ACK! ACK!” What was worse though, was the fact that Miu Ran seemed to still be conscious to some level.

Though he was unable to articulate his words as he kept on vomiting blood.

Bits of crushed organs could be seen in the bloody vomit, showing the extent of the damage.

“This… this is the worse injury so far…” A few people in the audience spoke.

Even if there had been many fights and deadly attacks had been used in them, the contestants had still survived them in much better condition than this. 

And it was all due to the safety mechanisms of the Spatial Plane’s array preventing them from dying. It would teleport them out when it felt them being knocked out or when it detected their vitality had suddenly fallen.

But perhaps it was due to the fact that Chang Fa’s attack was a physical one and had come in a different way than most. The array hadn’t registered it quickly enough.

And by the time it did, Miu Ran had already sustained grave injuries.

~HONG~

The head healer was already present nearby and arrived at a moment’s notice. His immortal sense checked Miu Ran and quickly prepared for a healing procedure.

He brought his palms together before placing them on Miu Ran’s body.

A green glow covered the man’s body, stopping his bleeding for the time being.

“Take us to the healing pavilion. I can only stabilize him for now. We’ll need to do an intense healing session!” the head healer said.

“Yes, elder!” The other healers said as they prepared to move.

They threw out a white sheet of cloth that expanded to a size of five meters. The head healer transferred Miu Ran onto the cloth while the other healers also stood on it.

~WHOOSH~

Then in the next moment, they flew away to the Healing Pavilion.

Chang Fa didn’t get to see much though, as he was lying on his back and facing the sky. He was in pain too and was bleeding.

Fortunately, a couple of healers had already approached him and fed him a pill.

They carried him away as well, leaving the overseeing elder with a frown.

What had just happened was possibly a grave oversight on their side.

‘Chang Fa’s attack might be too much, but the arrays should have still worked in time.’ The elder knew that Chang Fa had no blame for this.
