Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2397: Leading On?

Deep within the dense mountain forest, Davis casually walked through the vibrant atmosphere, enjoying the holistic sight of the flora. While he was at it, he also collected a few rare herbs, looking like he was going to plant them in some garden.As he arrived before an open space between the cracks of the forest, there was nothing but a grassy rock in the field. He couldn't help but turn to look around, glimpsing nothing except the vast forest that covered his eyes, each tree taller than a hundred meters.He flew towards the grassy rock and sat on it, but this time, he saw a plethora of black-robed assassins surround him as they floated in the air. Their positions vaguely resemble a formation, causing Davis to understand that they intended to pin him down from using Space Laws to flee even through a short distance.However, after panning his gaze, Davis lightly smiled behind his eerily smiling mask."Last chance. Do you not want to stay alive? Just turn around and leave. I'll consider that you were lucky.""You seem to not understand the situation you are placed in."Wolfhowl's cold voice echoed within the grassy fields."There's no sign of your background. There's no sign of a hidden Life Ring. There's nothing here that can save you, and yet, I don't see your body trembling in fear. Are you an assassin who scams others, hoping to send me away with speculations alone?"Davis inclined his head as if thinking before he perfunctorily nodded, "You could say that...""I understand that you're a mortal genius who can battle against immortals." Wolfhowl spoke in an amused tone, "You may have some ability, but you won't have the same ability when you step into the Immortal Stage. Your current prowess alone won't cut it."

"Really?" Davis raised his brows."It is what it is, so don't think of yourself as a heavenly genius. Only immortals who can cross five levels above are able to call themselves that, not mortals.""You really did not hear what I am capable of?""Unfortunately for you, that weakling you spared could not even speak properly, making my subordinates suspect you soulscoured him into a half-retard, so they soulscoured him back. It was even more unfortunate that we couldn't obtain any valid results. Looks like I have to give a lesson to my subordinates on how to soulscour very soon.""Ahaha."Davis couldn't help but laugh on hearing this, finding it hilarious, "A Soulscour Technique? I just bought one. What's its name? We could compare it by trying it out on your subordinates.""…!" The other assassins couldn't help but tremble in anger, wanting to thrust a dagger into his head."Enough chatter. You shouldn't have offended me even if you were a potential heavenly genius. It's useless to lead on, and as I said, I don't have time to be taking care of vermin like you, but I'll take this as a play of amusement since it is not every day I get to see a retarded outer disciple who thinks he is better than an inner disciple.""…" Davis blinked before his expression changed, "Wait!""Is there anyone else to worry about after I kill you? I mean, like your father, grandfather, or even your grandmother?"Wolfhowl's crimson eyes flashed with killing intent, his figure disappearing from thin air. Follow current on novel-online.com

No undulations leaked from Wolfhowl, a stark contrast to many other assassins that Davis encountered. He couldn't help but smile, knowing that Wolfhowl could be said to truly represent the Ghost Tear Hall. However, he couldn't give a crap, raising his hand as a talisman appeared in his hand.Berserk undulations surged from that talisman, causing the concealed Wolfhowl's pupils to dilate in shock. The others also felt their scalps turn numb, becoming stupefied and fearful at Dead End's suicidal action as they tried to retreat."Bastard, you dar-"*Booom!~*The entire scenery went up in crimson flames. Even the assassins who had secretly tried to near him in a concealed state in order to counter contingencies were engulfed within the flames, instantly dying to the explosion as their bodies turned into ashes.The flames spread to the surroundings, quickly engulfing those who were almost outside. Despite a barrier protecting them, these overwhelming crimson flames undulated with an immense amount of energy, searing through their barriers and lighting them up in crimson flames, causing them to turn into ashes.Level One Immortals, Level Two Immortals, Level Three Immortals… as many as thirty-eight assassins died within a second. However, the true casualty was unknown as some silhouettes seemed to have shot out of the flaming purgatory successfully."Dead End, you disgrace! One of us won't rest until the other is dead! I swear to hunt you down no matter where you run to!"But within the cloud of flames came a vengeful cry, even having come to a certain realization."I can't believe Dark Depths Avatar Mirage managed to go out like that, taking a significant portion of them..." Davis's body shook as he couldn't suppress his laughter.He was watching from a vast distance, looking at the immense destruction with a bit of mockery in his eyes. Follow current on storynovel.net

What he used was the Dark Depths Avatar Mirage Technique that he had just bought. It wasn't an avatar technique but an illusion-type technique that imitates his being like a shadow clone but through control as any other technique. To him, who has comprehended Light Laws and Darkness Laws to Abstruse Intents with comprehension clouds refined from many soul essences, he found it easy to comprehend this technique. Fooling the eyes of the immortals who had followed him without using their senses on him like true assassins was far easier than he could have asked for. But by the time Wolfhowl caught up, he couldn't be so sure, but that didn't matter because he was going to blow himself up anyway using the same Mid Immortal Grade Life-Saving Talisman he used on the bandit triplets, called the Incinerating Flame Crushing Wave Talisman, wanting to teach them a lesson.But with this, the two life-saving talismans that Founder Alstreim Windstorm gave him were gone, leaving him with one single defensive talisman of similar grade.Davis wasn't particularly bothered as they were put to good use.Perhaps, this would also remind Wolfhowl that he, Dead End was the one responsible for killing those bandit triplets. However, this likewise worked in his favor, increasing his reputation amongst the assassins if they come to find out since they won't stupidly pick a fight with him anymore, respecting him like they would respect Wolfhowl."Master, couldn't we have taken him out?" Nadia asked from his soul sea."Obviously, I can't kill him right now without using all my strength as I suspect that his prowess reaches Level Five Immortal Stage. I would have to reveal every trump card I have in my possession, and even then, success isn't assured, but this assassin isn't worthy of me going to such lengths with the risk of ruining my future prospects. I can't rely on you either since the question of who exactly killed Wolfhowl would haunt us. Even if I can reveal you as my tamed beast, I can't actually reveal you, can I?""I see." Nadia understood, "Master is wise."She hadn't read the rules of the Ghost Tear Hall, so she didn't have the capacity to plan accordingly. Nonetheless, she listened and learned more about assassinations, the dos and don'ts mostly."Well, this Unconfined Shadow Battle is good. Although there could be some trouble if fellow Ghost Tear Hall disciples recognized me as Dead End as they can freely kill me, it doesn't matter as long as I can kill Wolfhowl. The Shadow Battle would be over, and I would be back to being an outer disciple- no, I'll become an inner disciple but first, let's go assassinate our last target, Klein Zyrus.""Yes~"Nadia responded with some excitement while Davis smiled, giving one last look to the receding flames as cultivators from the city seemed to have taken note of the destruction his talisman was causing and came to suppress them.As for the assassins, there was no sign of them. Even Wolfhowl didn't dare to remain.Davis turned around and left towards the Starsky Flame City, wanting to use the Teleportation Formation there to reach the Zyrus Family Prefecture.
