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 Palace"s female immortal took the Dark Ironroar Emperor as a hostage as she tried to intimidate the Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal, making Davis wonder if they had some kind of altercation that he didn"t know about. However, he was a bit surprised for the Glorious Pill Palace"s Immortal to recognize him upon sight.
Was he already known in the First Haven World?
"That"s not right… She must"ve heard it from those sly old foxes..."
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 Valley"s Immortal did? Because it was her chance to kidnap the Dark Ironroar Emperor and extort the Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal?
Was she a sly old fox too?
On the other hand, the Dark Ironroar Emperor"s 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…
"I have to capture him somehow..."
The Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal"s gaze fell on the Emperor of Death from the corner of his eyes. However, it didn"t even last for a moment before he returned his gaze to this ridiculous hostage situation.
"Honestly, I don"t care about whether my power"s Emperor is alive or not. I"m 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 Emperor"s gaze trembled as he heard his ancestor"s ice-cold voice. It made his blood chill as he knew that wicked path experts wouldn"t simply lie for their gain most of the time. Besides, he didn"t 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 I"ll destroy your Glorious Pill Palace and violate you in those ruins." The Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal issued his threat, his crimson eyes flas.h.i.+ng with terrifying killing intent.
"…"
The Glorious Pill Palace"s Immortal stared at the Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal with piercing eyes. If looks could kill, she could"ve 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, "I"m not powerful enough to clash in a frontal battle as I"m an Alchemist, but I"m not weak either. However, I"m not foolish enough to keep this up as what I did what I came to do."
The Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal narrowed his eyes, wondering what that was, when he saw her turn to look at Davis.
"Young lad, you should"ve returned back to the Alstreim Family and received your ancestor immortal"s 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 foolis.h.!.+ 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 immortal"s anger when he abruptly received two consecutive soul transmissions.
"Honestly, I"m just disappointed by your actions. If you think that you can beat the Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal just because you defeated the Astral Light Sect"s Immortal by catching him off guard with another woman of equal or more prowess called Fairy Myria, then you"re 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 Sect"s 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 couldn"t help but think that she was not bad.
Nonetheless, he was still skeptical as things were still chaotic.
Not even two hours had pa.s.sed 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 Palace"s Immortal. I thank you for the a.s.sistance, but it was unnecessary."
"You-"The Glorious Pill Palace"s 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 Palace"s Immortal!?
The Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal"s narrowed eyes relaxed as he also couldn"t help but become amused at the Emperor of Death"s foolishness, making him wonder how this person could"ve come this far.
"You should"ve 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 Death"s 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 Davis"s mouth, causing his amused expression to recede as his lips moved.
"What"s so funny?"
"I would"ve accepted that anytime but at that place where you were making the situation needlessly dire."
Davis"s 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 Immortal"s 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 b.l.o.o.d.y and heart-shaking might.
"…!"
The Glorious Pill Palace"s 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 Palace"s Immortal in a breakneck speed.
"Heavenly lightning…!"
The Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal expression twisted as his cultivation instantly entered into circulation, bringing about a ma.s.sive 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 Palace"s Immortal to flinch from the sheer power that ran over his body, striking through his metallic energy.
His brain momentarily couldn"t 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 Underworld"s Immortal and Infernal Lightning Palace"s Immortal have all died. The only one remaining is you. Ahahaha!"
"…!"
Davis cackled as he forced the Dark Ironroar Palace"s Immortal to retreat before they clashed once again, heavenly lightning and a dark metallic substance furiously arcing around them.
