Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2962 End Of The War?

"I missed…"

Lereza made a small voice that was tinged with annoyance.

*Vrmmm!~*

Venerable Warrior Zermatt's undulations abruptly surged, becoming even more dense and powerful. It caused Lereza's gaze to flicker as she waved her hand, causing the thorns stabbed in Venerable Warrior Zermatt's body to rip apart his insides as it swung him away.

*Krrk!~* *Krrk!~* *Krrk!~*

Diamond-like flesh chipped away from him. It was coated with blood, appearing like a ruby gem.

*Boom!~*

With a heavy sound of breaking space, Venerable Warrior Zermatt retreated into the horizon, gaining enough distance before he turned to look back, his expression appearing unsightly as he glared at Lereza.

He couldn't believe that this woman was stronger than him, a top-tier heavenly genius accepted by the heavens!

His prowess was already six levels higher, far ahead of any other heavenly genius that he had come across in the Immortal Emperor Stage, but this woman was even further ahead and revealed her prowess that was seven levels higher. Despite being a wood-attributed cultivator, a weaker attribute in terms of offense, she had the edge over him in terms of both prowess and vitality, not to mention that he found her vines almost impossible to sever no matter how he attacked with his Ethereal Solstice that could easily cleave apart Mid Stage Immortal Emperors.

He was beaten black and blue by the vines, blood pouring out of his stomach, but he managed to save his immortal vessel by swerving his body at the last moment. Although he got pierced through his stomach and got caught multiple times, he knew he was able to intimidate her into thinking that he was going to sacrifice his blood essence to boost his prowess and unleash a Divine Technique, only to use his escape arts to flee from her swarm of vines.

Narrowing his eyes, he glared at Lereza before his gaze finally fell on Davis. He harrumphed with disdain before disappearing, dashing into the horizon like a silvery shooting star.

Davis saw Venerable Warrior Zermatt leave. However, he knew he couldn't relax and would have to leave soon since their true powerhouses might be upon him. Although the Ancestors all left or hid as they looked at him from a distance, he was especially wary of the Fire Phoenix Clan and Cyan Soul Rat Clan's truly powerful Ancestors who have yet to show themselves, not to mention Fraser Herrion who might also be hiding somewhere.

He imagined that this idiot was the one who leaked that Clara was a heaven's warrior. Otherwise, he didn't know how, as there was little opportunity for others to know that Clara possessed the Transcendent Truth Eyes Physique.

Nonetheless, Davis's lips curled as his gaze fell on Lereza.

"You let go of him despite being able to kill?"

"You got a problem?"

Lereza shot him a look, her brows raised as though she was going to be confrontational, causing Davis to shake his head.

"No. That's good. Don't get your hands dirtied with the blood of these fanatics, as I assume the heavens will also mark you."

"You don't need to care about me."

"I will. You are my protector, aren't you?"

"…" Lereza blinked before she giggled and pointed at him.

"You won't get anything from me, you naughty master. I attached some spores in his body, so if he were to ever return to his quarters, we would know where they are hidden."

"Woah…" Davis's eyes turned wide, "Lereza, you instantly just became a hundred percent hotter in my eyes. Are you sure you are not an adult?"

"I am an adult! Blind, stupid, Idiot master!"

Lereza fumed, looking like she was going to hit him but took her hands back, harrumphing as she looked away.

But Davis was truly impressed. He had thought Lereza didn't have battle experience as she did seem nervous when attacking Venerable Warrior Zermatt, not to mention she was locked up in the palace for an unknown number of years, but it seemed like he read too much into it as she at least knew how to track and hunt.

With this, he believed that he could at least hunt down the Divergent Slayers before they could go after him for no other reason than to please the heavens. They were unbridled fanatics in his eyes. Otherwise, would Venerable Warrior Zermatt have attacked the Light Dragon Clan's Ancestor?

Thinking about that old man, Davis felt somewhat thankful. After all, if the old man didn't hold back that idiot for a while, he wouldn't have been able to capture Patriarch Killian Zenflame.

Nonetheless, he turned around to look, his expression turning a little awkward as he saw the mess the city was.

Before he came here, it was at least intact, but now, the entire city was devastated. He felt as though he arrived in ruins.

However, as soon as he saw the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Great General, who was apprehended by the Starlight Jade Wolf King, his awkward expression turned wicked.

*Whoosh!~*

"Wai-!"

He instantly appeared by that Cyan Soul Rat Clan Great General Dural's side, swiftly grasping his head as he conducted a soul search using Mind Sea Extraction Mirage.

The Starlight Jade Wolf King was shocked at Davis's sudden appearance, but seeing that he was soul-searching, he commanded the others to stay put and turned to look at the three immortal inheritors of the Fire Phoenix Clan, who were still bound to the execution platform, the same as Great General Dural.

He had seen what had happened when the Fire Phoenix Clan's Legacy Treasure had suddenly stopped.

'So they were truly here to seek a second chance from brother Davis…?'

He couldn't wrap his head around their way of doing things. In the end, it was their own clan they gave up to support the Emperor of Death. If the latter didn't stop massacring their people and took it all the way, then they would become the sinners of the clan they founded.

Indeed, Great Ancestor Zenflame, Hirona, and Sierra were quite nervous right now.

How could they not understand what they have put themselves or their clan in?

Looking at the spectacle that had taken place before them, they knew that the Emperor of Death had grown too fast, just as they expected. They didn't know whether to rejoice or cry that they were right, but at this point, unless their Late Immortal Emperor Ancestors, other than Ancestor Reselius, came forward, they knew it would truly be impossible to stop the Emperor of Death.

Therefore, there was only one thing left for them to do.

"Release them…"

The Starlight Jade Wolf King sighed before he turned to look at a group of people bringing a burned corpse toward him. The soldiers were full of tears- no, having lost so many, everyone was emotional at the moment.

They had lost thousands of good soldiers, tens of Generals, even their promising Vice General Felix to the Fire Phoenix Clan's onslaught. Although the damage to the city was also great, it was bearable but not so much when their great talents were mostly dead, and one of their Ancestors had gone out with a bang, sacrificing himself to bring down the fool behind this invasion.

Once they thought of that and realized the pain, their hatred couldn't help but seep into their hearts and souls, causing one of many executioner's blades to be raised.

"Die!"

A Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Peak Immortal King brought down the sword on Great Ancestor Zenflame's neck, causing Hirona, Sierra, and even the Starlight Jade Wolf King's eyes to widen.

"Stop!"
