Chapter 3204 Entrapping?

"…"

There was no reply from the disciples of the Beast Autarch Upper Realm"s disciples, causing Davis to tilt his head.

Whether they wanted to be the oriole that hunts the mantis when it is stalking the cicada or not was unknown, but with them refusing to fully retreat, he was forced to consider that they were trying to take advantage of the situation while a.s.sessing him and the Moltenscale Dragon, which meant that they would have some traps set in advance.

His soul sense echoed like sending signals along with his soul force, sending vibrations across the area like he was personally scouring everything with his hands. His brows twitched as he came to find an anomaly that twisted the s.p.a.ce around it ever so lightly, making him understand that these two disciples had already set preparations to hunt this feral beast down, and he was the one intruding in their hunt.

It only took two seconds for him to find what was going on here, but it remained to be seen whether these two could capture the Moltenscale Dragon.

Davis"s lips curled.

*Ripp!~*

A giant claw slashed through him, but it was just an afterimage. He reappeared a few kilometers away as his feet were clad in annihilative heavenly flames and heavenly wind.

"Aren"t you impatient?"

Davis chuckled and launched himself in a direction.

But this time, he wasn"t going towards the feral beast or the two Beast Autarch Upper Realm"s geniuses whom he was very interested in as he wanted their beast-taming arts. Instead, he shot towards the formation they planted around what appeared to be its hunting ground as there were fleshly remains of feral beasts within, appearing before it.

*Aooo!~*

The Moltenscale Dragon was so exquisite and overwhelmingly powerful that even the Azure Dragon Upper Realm"s Rath Heavenshade wouldn"t dare to fight head-on, for he would be simply crushed or incinerated under its terrifying flames.

However, it was stupid.

*Vrmm~*

Abruptly, the formation core activated as soon as the stupidly giant dragon stepped into the range of the formation.

A giant attractive force emerged in the form of a spatial vortex, pulling everything closer around a few-kilometer radius.

Davis also felt this ma.s.sive, attractive force, although he appeared to have gained enough distance that the force that was pulling was not much.

"Aooo!~*

However, the Moltenscale Dragon let out a surprised cry and slammed into the ground where the trapping formation pulled on it.

*Cling~*

At the same time, numerous chains made up of earth energy erupted out of the ground and, as though putting out the flames, wrapped around the Moltenscale Dragon.

*Puchi~* But it didn"t stop there as a ma.s.sive ice crystal lance pierced through its head and burst into a star on both sides, leaving it unable to open its mouth.

"Woah…"

Davis couldn"t help but raise his brows in astonishment.

He knew he was inadequate as he didn"t find the presence of another formation layered within the trapping formation. It was a killing formation that restricted the opponent"s movement with earth-attributed chains and struck with an ice-attributed crystal lance that had immense piercing power.

"Wait… that"s not a formation…"

Davis didn"t sense a second core even after the killing formation"s activation. However, he found the burning remains of two talismans, presumably a sealing talisman and an offensive talisman. Both appeared to be at the High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade as they gave off undulations at that level, which meant that these were talismans that they found in some inheritances.

Still, he saw that the Moltenscale Dragon only had its long head pierced, its mouth sealed, while the chains restricted its giant body.

It struggled as it tried to extend its small wings, but try as it may, it seemed to be unable to break out.

"What a deadly formation…"

Davis could see that their placing of the talismans was deliberate and dynamic. Even if the Moltenscale Dragon had approached the trap from another direction, the result would"ve been the same as the trapping formation seemed to be capable of holding talismans and sending them to activate in the right place.

"So they were indeed trying to tame it…"

But looking at the result, Davis saw that it was still alive, mostly unharmed.

The beast didn"t even know how to use its blood essence to boost itself, and its mouth was sealed, putting it in a position of submission. With it not knowing what was going around, it instinctively chose to approach a wait-and-see att.i.tude instead of thras.h.i.+ng around, its muscles ready to tighten, allowing it to pounce on any attack it might face.

"Its instincts are good."

Davis inwardly nodded before he raised his hand, dark crimson flames erupted from his fingertips, forming a swirling, sinister inferno that danced and flickered with an unholy intensity. These flames cast distorted, nightmarish shadows across the burned terrain, adding to the extreme heat that had already gathered.

At the same time, a tempest of crimson-jade winds spun around the flames without snuffing them out, moving through the air like serpents as they created an otherworldly sphere of fire and wind.

Davis threw this annihilative revolving fire and wind at the feral beast.

However, instead of falling on the beast, it fell on the icy star lance that sealed the dragon"s mouth.

*Wshhh!~*

The moment his attack fell, the ice began melting steadily, causing the dragon"s eyes to widen. Its eyes then narrowed, appearing to be waiting for the ice to melt so that it could open its jaws and force itself out.

"Good day to you, Beast Autarch Upper Realm"s disciples."

Even without turning back, Davis could sense that their faces were unsightly as he could sense the disturbance in their auras. They were no longer even trying to suppress their undulations, appearing to want to tear him apart.

"Insolent! You dare to interfere in our hunt!?"

"Even if you"re the Emperor of Death, an Anarchic Divergent, you should know how to follow the unspoken rules of the cultivator world. Otherwise, are you just going around intentionally courting death!?"

Turning around, Davis saw the two men who glared at him with a death stare.

Davis raised his brows as he swore that he didn"t see them back in the hidden temple, so it could only mean that news about him had spread far and wide, but if they found him to be reasonable, then did that mean these guys somewhat had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Azure Dragon Clan?

"You guys might be hunting it, but with no one really dealing with it, it came to attack us, so it"s rightfully mine. If you don"t agree…"

However, Davis was unapologetic in his actions. He waved his hand as giant crescent moon-like crimson-jade blades appeared as they swung in circles around each other without coming into contact, causing the air to be filled with jade-colored sparks in their wake.

"What are you going to do about it?"

Davis"s voice was full of warning as he glared at them with wide eyes.

His undulations made the two Beast Autarch Upper Realm"s disciples shudder as they came to possess a bad feeling about this situation.

"What do you want?"

One of them opened their mouth with a sore voice, causing Davis to inwardly smirk as he knew for a fact that these youngsters knew of his capacity for carnage.
