Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2226: Sly Old Fox?

Davis raised his brows at this hostage situation.

Immortal energy swirled as it wrapped around the Dark Ironroar Emperor, threatening to destroy him in an instant.

It seemed like the Glorious Pill Palaceʼs female immortal took the Dark Ironroar Emperor as a hostage as she tried to intimidate the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal, making Davis wonder if they had some kind of altercation that he didnʼt know about. However, he was a bit surprised for the Glorious Pill Palaceʼs Immortal to recognize him upon sight.

Was he already known in the First Haven World?

ʼThatʼs not right… She mustʼve heard it from those sly old foxes...ʼ

He thought about the Venerable Pill Emperors informing her of his deeds. However, if it was the case, then why was she here instead of coming to him like Jade Lotus Valleyʼs Immortal did? Because it was her chance to kidnap the Dark Ironroar Emperor and extort the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal?

Was she a sly old fox too?

On the other hand, the Dark Ironroar Emperorʼs expression changed as he sensed three immortals locking him down with their soul sense.

At this rate, he knew that he would be surrounded, making him instantly realize that the only way he could save himself and save his power was to…

ʼI have to capture him somehow...ʼ

The Dark Ironroar Palace Immortalʼs gaze fell on the Emperor of Death from the corner of his eyes. However, it didnʼt even last for a moment before he returned his gaze to this ridiculous hostage situation.

”Honestly, I donʼt care about whether my powerʼs Emperor is alive or not. Iʼm just worried about losing a bright talent. If that bright talent is lost, so be it. I have ample resources to create a powerful successor as powerful, no, more powerful than him.”

”…”

The Dark Ironroar Emperorʼs gaze trembled as he heard his ancestorʼs ice-cold voice. It made his blood chill as he knew that wicked path experts wouldnʼt simply lie for their gain most of the time. Besides, he didnʼt know much about this immortal ancestor, so he could only shudder amidst this helpless situation, feeling his life waning away bit by bit.

He had successfully avoided the plague called the Emperor of Death, so how come he got caught in this mess?

His expression was unsightly, to say the least.

”You would be smart to leave him be and return where you came from. Otherwise, I swear that Iʼll destroy your Glorious Pill Palace and violate you in those ruins.” The Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal issued his threat, his crimson eyes flashing with terrifying killing intent.

”…”

The Glorious Pill Palaceʼs Immortal stared at the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal with piercing eyes. If looks could kill, she couldʼve killed him ten times already. However, her ample bosoms heavily heaved as she appeared to have calmed herself down.

”As you would expect.” She opened her mouth, her melodious voice turning frigid, ”Iʼm not powerful enough to clash in a frontal battle as Iʼm an Alchemist, but Iʼm not weak either. However, Iʼm not foolish enough to keep this up as what I did what I came to do.”

The Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal narrowed his eyes, wondering what that was, when he saw her turn to look at Davis.

”Young lad, you shouldʼve returned back to the Alstreim Family and received your ancestor immortalʼs protection. However, you stupidly came here, for what, to pick a fight with an immortal like him?”

Her eyes were wide as she waved her other hand.

”How foolish! I heard what you did for Farah Lanate during the banquet my power hosted and decided to save you from the predicament you were facing by having the Dark Ironroar Immortal distracted, even going far as to lower myself to abduct a mere mortal, but how dare you waste my goodwill by coming here!?”

”…”

Davis blinked at this female immortalʼs anger when he abruptly received two consecutive soul transmissions.

”Honestly, Iʼm just disappointed by your actions. If you think that you can beat the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal just because you defeated the Astral Light Sectʼs Immortal by catching him off guard with another woman of equal or more prowess called Fairy Myria, then youʼre dead wrong. Even with the help of those two immortals behind you, it is impossible to kill him. Why? Because this wicked path immortal has manifested the unperfected Mortal Immortal Vessel, so at the very least, he will be more difficult to deal with than the Astral Light Sectʼs Immortal who was half-crippled.”

”Quick, leave! I can only help you escape this once.”

”…”

Davis blinked two more times, not having expected this kind of speech from the female immortal.

He could have said to have practically extorted the Glorious Pill Palace of their pill recipes, so at the very least, he expected abhorrent emotions to be directed at him but unexpectedly, he couldnʼt help but think that she was not bad.

Nonetheless, he was still skeptical as things were still chaotic.

Not even two hours had passed since the second activity of the Calamity Light, yet he had encounters with so many immortals. Nothing could be decided or stamped on in a short amount of time.

Instead of taking a step backward, he took a step forward.

”Glorious Pill Palaceʼs Immortal. I thank you for the assistance, but it was unnecessary.”

”You-”The Glorious Pill Palaceʼs Immortal became tongue-tied, unable to believe his foolishness.

Instead of using her goodwill to escape, he was stepping up to face the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal!?

The Dark Ironroar Palace Immortalʼs narrowed eyes relaxed as he also couldnʼt help but become amused at the Emperor of Deathʼs foolishness, making him wonder how this person couldʼve come this far.

”You shouldʼve just escaped when you had the chance.”

He opened his mouth, shaking his head. However, he raised his hand, seemingly gesturing.

”Nonetheless, you and I have little to no enmity. How about letting bygones be bygones?”

Although he was after the Emperor of Deathʼs mysterious technique, he knew this was not the time as he was severely disadvantaged by one against three immortals. Even his Mortal Immortal Vessel could only provide little support while facing three immortals simultaneously.

”Haha…”

However, a vague laugh resounded from Davisʼs mouth, causing his amused expression to recede as his lips moved.

”Whatʼs so funny?”

”I wouldʼve accepted that anytime but at that place where you were making the situation needlessly dire.”

Davisʼs lips curved into a wretched smile, ”By all means, you need to die.”

”Davis…!”

Founder Alstreim Windstorm echoed from behind, wanting him to not needlessly offend an immortal whose prowess at this moment could very well reach the peak of Level Two Immortal Foundation Stage.

However, the Dark Ironroar Palace Immortalʼs expression cracked at this moment.

”Haha… Hahaha… Ahahaha! Hilarious! A mortal dares to issue a death threat to an immortal like me!? I thought I had seen the world when those terrifying beasts descended, but this time, my horizons have truly been widened!”

*Bzzzz!~*

Terrifying immortal pressure descended, its sheer presence exuding a bloody and heart-shaking might.

”…!”

The Glorious Pill Palaceʼs Immortal instantly threw the Dark Ironroar Emperor to the opposite side, hoping that his ancestor immortal would chase to protect him as she shot towards Davis without looking back, reaching her hand out to capture his wrist.

However, a burst of black-silver lightning appeared on his foot as he dodged her elegantly and shot past her, causing her eyes to widen.

”What the…?”

At the same time, Founder Alstreim Windstorm quickly arrived beside Lea, seemingly protecting her from the awful pressure that caused her to almost gasp before he retreated along with her to a safe distance while watching Davis head towards the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal in a breakneck speed.

”Heavenly lightning…!”

The Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal expression twisted as his cultivation instantly entered into circulation, bringing about a massive dark metal immortal energy as it rushed against Davis when they abruptly clashed inches away!

*Bang!~*

Arcs of heavenly lightning and dense dark metallic energy clashed between them, causing the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal to flinch from the sheer power that ran over his body, striking through his metallic energy.

His brain momentarily couldnʼt understand how this mere mortal was in possession of heavenly lightning, much less able to pierce through his immortal metallic energy. Unable to hold the line, he took a step back and gained distance.

”The Blood Reaper Underworldʼs Immortal and Infernal Lightning Palaceʼs Immortal have all died. The only one remaining is you. Ahahaha!”

”…!”

Davis cackled as he forced the Dark Ironroar Palaceʼs Immortal to retreat before they clashed once again, heavenly lightning and a dark metallic substance furiously arcing around them.
