Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2141: Blood Dust Descends

Chapter 2141: Blood Dust Descends

Schleya slashed the Villa Master with her twin blades, bringing down her might without concern for the blood rust that was plunging on her. Her curved blades passed through the Villa Master's neck to his waists, leaving an x-line. However, Schleya didn't feel much feedback, instantly adopting the decision to retreat.
*Whoosh!~*
Schleya maneuvered the crimson dust that swirled like a typhoon all over the skies. However, no matter how she tried to escape this gust of crimson dust, she couldn't see an end to it. Simultaneously, a tinge of pain erupted in her fingers, causing her to narrow her brows and see her flesh turn purple as though rotting. Even her crimson blades displayed signs of rotting as they were visibly rusting.
"You might have become a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse, but your body is still weak. The blood dust scattered around you will cause your own flesh and blood to rust, just like iron rusting into nothing."
Schleya heard the Villa Master's voice resounding from everywhere, but she didn't bother with him, opting to find an exit first before she could rot to death. Her own blood energy covered her body, giving her ample protection.
She possessed a Vast Sea before, but it took some time for her to perfect it into an Immeasurable Sea of perfection before condensing her Imposing Rune when she stepped into the Law Rune Stage. Therefore, her prowess was at the fifth level of the Ninth Stage, but also bloody and terrifying because of her ruthlessness and sharpness.
If caught off-guard, she could even go toe to toe with powerhouses at the sixth level of the Ninth Stage. But clearly, it wasn't enough to stop the blood dust causing her flesh to rot, meaning that the blood rust energy was two levels higher than Peak-Level Ninth Stage.
However, Schleya didn't seem scared or even the slightest bit nervous as she constantly searched for a way out.
"Give up, my little blood doll. The Blood Dust Emperor left this to counter the Blood World Emperor who might come to destroy us in the name of treason and whatnot but to think it was used against its own disciple. A pity…"
The Villa Master's sigh loudly echoed, causing Schleya's lips to twitch.
"Shut up. This isn't your own strength, bastard. You hide behind the Ancestor's strength like a coward, especially when you are three levels above me in cultivation."
At this moment, Schleya felt that there wasn't much difference between the righteous and the wicked path. When it comes to matters that they can't handle with power, everyone resorts to schemes. How could she fail to see through this simple matter?
'It seems like I was an idealist who doesn't conform to reality as Mingzhi said...'
"Hahaha." The Villa Master heartily laughed, "Don't be so snideful, my little blood doll. I'm just in awe of the prowess you displayed in the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition, defeating prominent characters from many powers, including the likes of the righteous villains. Honestly, that was more exhilarating than embracing many women on the bed, so I don't want to accidentally harm you but quell your anger with overwhelming power so that I can treat you like my little blood doll on the mattress later."
Schleya clenched her teeth in rage.
Back then, she wouldn't have given a crap if someone said that they belonged to her, simply waving her blade, but now, she felt heavily incensed. However, she was in a pinch at this moment, unable to find a way out while the blood rust energy was slowly wearing her off, causing her skin to rot.
Despite her powerful blood energy covering her entire body, the rot had spread to her wrists already in this one minute.
If she delayed more, she knew that more places would be affected soon.
'Having forced to use escape arts the moment I neared him...'
Schleya felt some humiliation because she knew that it was her fault for actually falling for his provocation in the first place after having lost her cool. However, she also thought that it couldn't be helped. After all, the only ones who knew of Kiela was the one who made her kill her, and the other was the person she shared that information with trust.
Meanwhile, the Villa Master was completely in shock over the fact that Schleya lasted past five seconds and became dumbfounded after a minute passed. He knew that she was powerful as she displayed immense prowess, enough to take on High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouses in the competition, but upon breaking through, how could she have surpassed Peak-Level Law Rune Stage already?
He couldn't help but tremble, wondering what would have happened if he allowed her to grow more.
Since Schleya was in the Grand Alstreim City, protected by the Emperor of Death, he was unable to touch her after the competition, and he didn't go pay his respects to the Emperor of Death when many powers did because he was afraid that this woman would have him killed, but now that she was here in his territory, he didn't have a single thought of letting her leave.
If he did, he knew that it wouldn't be long before he was chased until murdered in cold blood.
'Hmph, time to end this...'
Hidden in the blood dust, the Villa Master coldly harrumphed, wondering how Schleya managed to become this powerful in a short amount of time as he raised his hand.
'It couldn't be that she really is the Emperor of Death's woman… right?'
A mild amount of trepidation lurked in his heart before he brought his hand down, intending to use the fatal blood dust to harm Schleya more, enough to make her unable to move, but at the same time, an unending flow of light encased the surroundings, causing his crimson pupils to dilate into two tiny slits.
*Shhh!~*
An awe-inspiring surge of light poured in from all directions, directly causing the blood dust scattered in the illuminating light to look like it had been evaporated to the core.
He watched this phenomenon occur in an instant, causing him to flinch in shock as blood energy surrounded him to protect him.
However, the illuminating light didn't harm him, but it didn't stop at that either as the illuminating rays shot above the skies and engulfed the bloody skies, extinguishing them with an ardent surge as they spread all over the horizons.
Quickly, the Blood Pledge Villa Territory which always possessed a crimson hue day and night like an infernal realm of the legends began to gain its normalcy. The illuminating light quickly spread from the Blood Pledge Villa to the ends of the Territory, and the blood rust energy hanging over the ceiling as though it would one day plunge to the surface to create a misfortune disappeared like it was never there, leaving spatial cracks that quickly stitched themselves back.
The people of the Blood Pledge Villa Territory were utterly dumbfounded as they witnessed this scene with their perfectly round eyes.
The Villa Master's eyes were also wide as saucers. But at this moment, what he saw other than the extinguishing blood rust energy utterly chilled his blood.
There was an array of purple-robed cultivators having surrounded the Blood Pledge Villa. They kept their hands together as though greeting, but he knew that it was not the case as he could feel the presence of a spirit formation all over the place, and the one they constituted together was the formation that exactly brought the end of the Blood Dust Emperor's Legacy, destroying the Blood Pledge Villa Territory's crimson skies.
"Young Blood Demoness, we have merely come to eradicate the unsightly blood dust of the Blood Dust Emperor that is staining the clouds of many years. Please continue what you were doing. We aren't here to interfere, but of course, not until a rat tries to sneak out of our encirclement, that is..."
A melodious yet mocking voice echoed out at this moment, causing many heads to swivel towards a beautiful purple-robed figure hovering in the air with a graceful posture.
The moment they saw the beauty, their pupils severely constricted as they knew of her famous name that resounded far and wide after the events of repelling the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range's Magical Beast Tide.
It was the Reaper Soul Legion… and its Legion Commander, Yotan.
