Ghosthand had used all his strength to cast the Abyssal palm which was normally beyond his ability and was currently in a weakened state. He was so weak that he was barely able to remain standing. As for fighting, he already lost all hope. Even a random tier 3 King can effortlessly take him down talk less of the mighty tier 4 Emperors around and Xuanyuan who could counter the Abyssal palm!
But before anyone could say a word, Ghosthand hurriedly fished out a teleportation scroll in his hand and tried to flee. So long as he can leave this place in one piece, there's still a chance of survival.
Just as he expected to teleport away from the battlefield, he suddenly discovered that the scroll remained dormant no matter how he tried to activate it.
"You think you can escape after what you've done?" Xuanyuan said coldly. He'd expected that Ghosthand would try to escape so he'd used world manifestation to lock down the area rendering all teleportation devices useless.
