Chapter 301: The death of the High Blood Elder
An hour had passed, and the battle over the Blood Sea continued to escalate with increasing power. The clash between the powerhouses of the Integrationist Path and the Purist Path was intensifying.
A clear victor was already emerging in the battlefield between Wave Kings, thanks to the arrival of a sixteen-year-old man.
While Cain’s power wasn’t overwhelming enough to instantly reverse the tide on his own, his assistance played a pivotal role. His help allowed Kael to take down a Middle Wave King Essence Cultivator from the Purist Path, contributing to the shift in the battle dynamics.
It was a chain reaction, with Kael free to help more of his comrades, and with every minute, the advantage of the Integrationist Path increased. Presently, more than nine Wave Kings from the Purist Path had fallen, while only two from the Integrationist Path had suffered the same fate.
Cain was kept informed of the battlefield’s state through Apex’s guidance, but he couldn’t afford to lose focus. The Flow, though a powerful tool for predicting opponents’ movements, wasn’t foolproof. While he could predict Jason’s actions, it didn’t guarantee he could always evade them.
Unlike Zima, whose attacks were somewhat crude and patterned, Jason executed an almost flawless Bloodflow Fury, even in his current state.
However, as the battle carried on, Cain’s use of the Flow and his ability to face the Wave King increased, allowing him to get closer and closer to an opening, and when it finally happened, he did not waste it.
Cain managed to break through Jason’s guard, landing an elbow strike to the man’s elbow. This spot was the same area where Kael had previously landed a flaming downward kick.
"CRACK!"
The sound of breaking bones reached Cain’s ears, but he was forced to retreat as a powerful blow targeted his head.
Just as Cain moved back, a powerful kick flashed toward his chest. He anticipated the pattern, twisted his body, and raised his guard to fend off the attack. However, he was still sent hurtling through the air.
Clenching his teeth, Cain regained control over his body and swiftly returned to the battle. He fought valiantly, using his utmost strength, but things were taking a dire turn for him. His energy pool was running low since even if his body and techniques could equal a Wave King, his Astral Wave and Blood Energy could not.
