Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1922: Rampage

Chapter 1922: Rampage

Looking at the Starnova Emperor who questioned him, Davis couldn’t help but feel that the Starnova Emperor would take this offense personally if he didn’t answer this question or acted arrogant and dodged the question.

Davis inwardly felt that he had pushed the Starnova Emperor a bit too much with his threats. Moreover, a needless confrontation was time wasted that could be better spent. He was too lazy to even buy a fight as he already had an appointment with the Vast Sky Emperor and the Emperor Sword Sect.

"Schleya left the wicked path a long time ago. Right now, she’s a part of my power. As for her impudence, who told your son to believe in rumors? He needs a beating for trying to sully the reputation of a woman with baseless words, don’t you think?"

The Starnova Emperor narrowed his brows.

In the righteous path, it was an unwritten rule for men to not degrade women with words unless they had some personal vendetta or some sort of altercation between them.

Only women were allowed to degrade other women, which could usually be resolved.

After all, if a man was going to degrade a woman, it usually meant that he was degrading someone’s woman or daughter, which meant touching the reverse scale of a husband or a father, and depending on their strength, he might die without a corpse.

Therefore, men should keep their mouths shut when it comes to a woman’s reputation unless it personally involves them.

That’s why he had relinquished the matter of Faus Lanate and admonished the Glorious Pill Palace for acting out of place.

After considering this, even though the Blood Demoness wasn’t a righteous path woman, the Starnova Emperor perfunctorily nodded.

"I will see to that I will discipline my seventh son. However, don’t you think that having the Blood Demoness join unannounced is going too far? At least, you could’ve explained that she didn’t belong to the wicked path anymore before putting her name on the list. Then this wouldn’t have happened."

Davis shook his head in response.

"I am sure this would’ve happened at the time of confirming the participants if I put the information along with the name on the list, so why not now when the millions of people from the righteous path could see that Schleya is no longer from the wicked path and had cut ties with the Blood Pledge Villa? It’s efficient for me to deal with this matter in this way."

’Bastard. You repeatedly keep causing trouble in this competition that you should be honorably backing away by now, but you’re still so shameless...!’

Not only was the Starnova Emperor inwardly screaming in his mind, but many people in charge of the competition also complained, except without cursing him. However, they had no comeback other than to temporarily accept his claim of the Blood Demoness defecting the wicked path.

Her personal crimes were pretty much non-existent. Actually, they couldn’t find one even after checking with intelligence experts just now through soul transmissions and soul sense.

It was as though she never laid her hands upon the blood of an innocent, making them feel confused.

How did she practice her Blood Laws without killing other humans? Could it be that she had solely targeted magical beasts?

It was possible but not efficient.

The wicked path people who practiced Blood Laws killed other humans and refined their blood mostly. This was seen as an act of cannibalism by the righteous path, and some wicked path people really ate human flesh as though they were magical beast meat, choosing to refine their bloody carcass in their stomach instead as though it would give them better insights into the sea of Blood Laws.

Without much consuming or devouring of human blood, she wouldn’t have been able to become this powerful.

It was like not absorbing the flames of a magical beast or a Spirit Attribute Source for a human and expecting to become powerful in Fire Laws. It just did not make sense because refining the blood of magical beasts was much harder than refining human blood, as each time someone refines the blood of a magical beast, they had to make sure to completely dissipate the powerful aura of the magical beast, leaving it with nothing but the pure energy of the blood.

Otherwise, the human consuming or refining magical beast blood would start turning into a mindless fey or a fey themselves.

Judging by Schleya’s appearance, her pale skin was flawless without any rashes, and she had no features of a magical beast, so how could she be so powerful at a young age when training like this? It just didn’t make sense, unless her talent in Blood Laws was that terrifying?

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse saw that the altercation had come to an end. After receiving permission from the Heaven Mandate Emperor, his voice echoed.

"Continue the battle."

He gave out a simple command, causing the young experts on the battle stage to feel a terrifying coldness permeate into them. Their gazes collectively fell on Schleya, who radiated killing intent towards them.

However, it was the same for Schleya, who received countless gazes of killing intent on her. It was unknown how many people wanted her death just because she was from the wicked path who might’ve ruined the lives of their loved ones. Such hatred fell on her at this moment, making the two frail hands holding the curved blades tremble.

Nevertheless, this kind of hostility blazing at her really did invoke her life and death instincts, making her feel rejuvenated.

Schleya took a step forward and pointed one of her curved blades at her four opponents.

"I’ll be striking with the intent to kill, so defend or even try to kill me as much as you can. I promise the Emperor of Death won’t interfere."

"Let’s team up!"

The four of them exchanged soul transmissions and decided to eliminate Schleya first. From the initial clash she had with the blue-robed man, it became obvious to them that she possessed a Vast Sea, far outstripping them in prowess but by how much, they didn’t know, and consequently, they wisely teamed up.

The blue-robed man clenched his teeth and stopped the bleeding negatively affecting him.

Blue-colored water emerged from the pores of his body as he readied himself to unleash various techniques. The others also invoked their elemental laws, wanting to strike Schleya with their best shot.

Schleya’s might grew with each step she took before her speed vastly increased. Her entire body shone crimson as she shot towards them, unafraid of their cohesive might that could topple her defense and destroy her frail body.

In the northern area of the New Era Battle Arena, the Four Great Righteous Sect Leaders were exchanging soul transmissions, wondering if they should allow this farce to pass as they looked at the battle. They helplessly concluded that they could only allow this as the Emperor of Death seemed adamant.

After coming to this conclusion, they went silent, but the Vast Sky Emperor sent a separate soul transmission to the Starnova Emperor.

"Starnova, that brat doesn’t give us any respect. I suspect he’s going to enslave us once he gains enough might and reason."

"Vast Sky, I don’t bother speaking with death-row inmates."

"..."

Vast Sky Emperor’s expression turned frigid on hearing Starnova Emperor’s words.

Looks like the Starnova Emperor was of the idea that he was going to die by Emperor of Death’s hands, and this response more or less just drove a wedge between them.

"You coward. You’re only fit for shoving your head into countless skirts."

"Oh? That’s a compliment. I mean, all I did was shove my head into the right skirts but I wonder what’s going to happen to a man who tried to shove his head into the wrong skirt?"

The Starnova Emperor sneered at the Vast Sky Emperor, causing the latter to emit a deep chill bordering on turning into one of hostility, but he took his gaze away and sat back comfortably, appearing calm.

The former also looked away, knowing that the Vast Sky Emperor wanted him to turn against the Emperor of Death. How could he allow that to happen when the end result was almost assuredly certain death?

He wasn’t foolish or young enough to get jealousy or moment’s anger get to him.

*Bang!~*

A glowing sword cracked and shattered under the heaviness of the curved blades gleaming with crimson as they struck the same spot.

Schleya didn’t stop but cut down as the heaven and earth trembled under her onslaught.

Every single one of her attacks was made with ruthlessness and brutality from the start. Her footwork was strange, her long legs pouncing here and there while having her posture slightly bent as though she was an assassin but attacking like a praying mantis, the two claws signified by her two curved blades.

*Puchi!~*

A severed hand flew towards the side as it sprayed blood.

A bunch of toes along with the ankle was sliced and diced in the air.

An entire knee flew and hit someone else’s head.

"Ahh! Wait...!"

The opponents were overwhelmed by terror when they were caught. They tried to gain distance, but after taking care of one for a short while, she always arrived instantly in front of the others, making their scalps turn numb.

She was just too fast and too ruthless with her attacks that they couldn’t even see a hint of her shadow as she was like a flowing strand of blood, extremely flexible yet striking with heaviness as though her flowing blood turned into coagulating blood.

Unless they could overpower her, it felt like it was impossible to counterattack!

All her opponents seemed to have Abundant Seas on or under thirty kilometers. It was a forgone conclusion that Schleya would win but how she ripped her opponents apart wasn’t certainly under the equation. She didn’t go as far as to kill them but still severed their limbs or body parts like ears and fingers.

Screams of terror continued to echo before all the opponents gave up.

When Schleya finally stopped, she had her crimson curved blades under the chin of her last opponent. Any later and his head might’ve flown off, but Schleya wouldn’t have done it because she promised Davis not to kill anyone, but the opponent didn’t know that almost pissing his pants in fear.

He didn’t know what he did to deserve this kind of humiliation from a woman as he gave up screaming like a little girl.

Only after those words left his mouth did that bloody woman flick her sleeves and clasp her hands as the curved blades disappeared, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.

The millions of people had their jaws wide open.

Cultivators usually tested their might by throwing sophisticated binding of elemental energies at each other, and even sword cultivators wouldn’t battle like this, but she... what kind of a cruel woman was she to slice and dice everything in her path, not even leaving the thing that lies in the inner thighs?

The very sight of it had them shuddering in fear of the wicked path women. If they were all like this, then would their little brothers be fine if they met one somewhere?

Davis also shot a wry look at his little brother and assured it something like that wouldn’t happen in his sleep. Maybe this was nothing more than Schleya’s way of showing that she could sever limbs better than him, no?

However, all of them understood one thing: the origin of her title, the Blood Demoness, wasn’t just for show.
