Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2405 Ranked Seventh

"Die!"

Suddenly, the sound of a metal shattering could be heard as the formation broke down as a black-robed figure intruded into a space.

Inside this space stood six people in different positions, forming a pentagram with an individual at the center.

The golden-robed person at the center narrowed his eyes in shock as he found himself barraged by six Ghost Tear Hall assassins. Quickly, he abandoned restricting the backlash from the shattering of the formation and stepped forward. Golden flames in the shape of stars surged out from his body, forming a giant whirlpool.

Seeing this maneuver, the other five golden-robed people also let out determined cries as they clenched their hands and burned their blood essence, golden flames erupting out of their bodies as they formed five tornadoes grinding against a single massive golden star tornado.

*Boom!~*

Copious amounts of Golden Crow Flames swept out as they caused massive destruction, twisting the starlight in the surrounding space.

It sent the assassins flying into the distance, but they balanced themselves, appearing only slightly burned.

On the other hand, there was a purple-robed assassin among them who seemed to be completely unharmed, moving out of the way even before the fiery golden tornadoes formed into a massive scale.

The next moment, the golden star tornado revolved like an astral comet and shot towards the purple-robed assassin. The purple-robed assassin's eyes flickered, seemingly in awe of the prowess of this technique that reached five levels above.

However, he maintained a complacent attitude as he remained in position while raising his hand.

"Unfortunately, the Law of Space has the upper hand here."

*Ripp!~*

A huge patch of space was torn apart with a clench of his hand as he pulled, and the incoming fiery golden tornado was sucked into the vastness of empty space before it could reach him.

Consequently, the golden flames whistled out of existence.

Seeing that the move was useless, the golden-robed man at the center clenched his teeth.

"Quick, regroup!" Issuing a command to his fellow, he clenched his hand and flew into the skies.

"Ravaging Golden Tornado!"

His two hands spread like wings, enchanting and blazing before he spun like a top in a diagonal arc. Golden crow flames burst forth from his body in an intense fashion and crashed towards the purple-robed assassin.

The latter knowing that his spatial defense would easily be dodged, took his saber out and slashed at the empty void.

*Ripp!~*

Space became lacerated as they shredded towards the Ravaging Golden Tornado.

*Boom!!~*

When the two of the attacks clashed, explosions rippled across the region. The clash caused the others to be blown backward, some of them even spurting out blood as they failed to keep their previous injuries in check.

"Big brother Erin!"

The members of the Golden Crow Clan's Goldsun Family shouted at the top of their lungs, appearing worried. Quickly, a burst of golden flames shot forth from the explosion and streaked through the skies like a Golden Crow.

When the golden flames receded a bit, it revealed the sight of the scrawny Erin Goldsun appearing injured, blood trickling from his lips.

The expression of the others couldn't help but change as their hearts clenched.

"I told you. Your destructive prowess is suppressed in the presence of dense spatial energy here that I don't even have to give my best to counter you."

The purple-robed man walked out from the dusty skies, his voice sounding hoarse yet arrogant.

"Know that Void Terror of the Ghost Tear Hall is the one who will end your life."

"I have heard about you. Ranked seventh in the Early Grade Immortal Rankings of the Ghost Tear Hall that's publicly displayed, having even killed a fair number of Level One Immortals while still being a mortal. However…"

"Give me your best shot!" Erin Goldsun's crimson eyes blazed with a noble rage.

Void Terror's posture was relaxed. His flawless saber disappeared, replaced with a sharp dagger. But then, his eyes suddenly couldn't help but shrink.

*Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~* *Bang!~*

Hundreds of small golden fists struck him at the same time, brushing past his spatial bending and dagger strikes to divert and parry, but the fist barrage broke through and hit his body at the last fist, sending him flying.

Void Terror spat a mouthful of blood as his eyes fell on a white-robed newcomer before he flipped in mid-air and regained balance somehow. From the moment of clash to regaining balance, it was quick. However, his gaze was shocked because the distance separating them was more than a few kilometers, yet the barrage of fists was heavy as a few boulders pounding unto him.

"Who are you?" He couldn't help but groan, sensing the might of the Earth Dragon held within.

"Oh?"

On the other hand, Davis raised his brows, seemingly astonished. In his view, it seemed that Void Terror had somehow used yin energy to mitigate the damage he incurred.

Smiling lightly, he spoke continued to speak in Mo Tian's voice, "An assassin can take my punches at such a close distance? I thought you would crumble like the dust, but it seems you really are an inner disciple who's ranked seventh, capable of blocking it even when given no warnings."

"I asked who you were?"

Void Terror's prickly black eyes became ice-cold as though he would attack if his question wasn't answered. Erin Goldsun also watched the two of them with contemplative eyes, and so did the others, wondering who this white-robed man was while watching out for the adversaries.

"Mo Tian." Davis emphasized as his face broke out into a smug smile.

"Now then, you can stay here and fight to the death or retry once again as you ambush from the dark as an assassin would."

"You're asking for it."

"Go ahead."

*Bzzz!~*

Terrifying spatial undulations erupted from Void Terror. The skies above rumbled, and the surface turned dark as the void engulfed the land. But the next moment, Void Terror and his assassins disappeared from the location, seemingly disappearing as though they never existed in the first place.

'As expected of a seventh rank assassin. Knows when to back down and even erased the injured blood off the ground...'

On the other hand, Davis couldn't help but inwardly nod as though he was rating them. The prowess he had 'shown' should've been enough for anyone to decide that a frontal battle was unwinnable. It should especially be the case for assassins who didn't specialize in frontal battles but quick kills.

Meanwhile, Rayleigh and the other wind cultivator had also caught up, but when as they watched Mo Tian unleash a single fist that turned into multiple strikes and caused the terrifying assassin from the Ghost Tear Hall to retreat, their eyes couldn't help but churn in respect and awe.

The feeling of being stifled, yet that stifled feeling being unleashed by a person of a similar position was beyond joy-inducing to say the least.

After Davis confirmed that the assassins had left with his infallible soul sense, he turned to look at the scrawny youth and clasped his hands.

"Mo Tian greets cultivators from the Golden Crow Clan. May we be blessed with the fortune to have some fate with some treasures. Now then, I'll take my leave."

After saying a polite greeting, he flew towards them but looked like he was going to pass by them.

"Esteemed cultivator, wait a minute."

Erin Goldsun appeared in front of him, returning the cultivator's bow with a smile on his face, "My name is Erin Goldsun. You can also call me by my name, Mo Tian. I want to thank you for aiding us during this perilous encounter with the Ghost Tear Hall."

"Ah, it's nothing." Davis displayed a fake smile, "I only did what I have to do."

'That is… hoodwinking you all into giving me Golden Crow Blood Essence later on...'

"Aha. Mo Tian is righteous!" Erin Goldsun appeared to laugh as he shook his head, "Although you did what you felt like doing, it saved me as a result. Honestly, I didn't think I was going to survive this ordeal because I was planning on bringing Void Terror down with me and allowing the others to escape, but oh well, a righteous cultivator always comes to save the day. You have my gratitude, Mo Tian."

"When we go out, I'll make sure to reward you with whatever you want if it is within my power, which is about ten million immortal crystals."

Davis's brows lifted, "That would surely be helpful."

Although that number didn't faze him, he did come to understand that these top geniuses of major powers also held a significant amount of influence and wealth in their hands, surpassing the Young Masters of Early Immortal King Grade Powers.

"Also, Mo Tian, are you a rogue cultivator, or are you from the Earth Dragon Clan?" Erin Goldsun's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"…!"

His words caused the others to become shocked. They had never sensed the Earth Dragon's aura before, so they wouldn't know, but it seemed that Erin Goldsun recognized it.
