Divine Emperor of Death

Davis narrowed his eyes as he felt the cultivation of those women to be at the Fifth Stage. A specific woman was even at the Sixth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation!

When he concentrated his physical senses on the men, he failed to garner their cultivation!

’Seventh Stage Experts?’

’Tch!’ Davis felt his mood worsen.

Just when he was expecting to meet no humans in the Sunset Tear Mountain, he mused that he unexpectedly met with Slave Traders. However, he didn’t even know how they managed to catch these women in the wilderness.

One of the three men’s eyes lit up as he came to the front. His gaze that stayed on Evelynn moved to Davis when he completely neared them, standing just two meters away from them.

He clasped his hand and opened his mouth while he shot a look of contemptuous gaze at Davis, "Greetings, fellow cultivator! We are the three brothers of the Blood Arc Mercenaries."

Davis narrowed his eyes as he heard the man speak, "My apologies, I have never heard of it before as I’m new to the Ethren City."

The man with the long beard widened his brow in displeasure but once he heard that Davis was new, he relaxed. He smiled and waved his arm towards the side, "Are you here to hunt Magical Beasts? Well, that’s what we do in the Sunset Tear Mountain..."

The man’s lips suddenly curved as a sneer formed while looking around, "However unlike you, we hunt Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts... even Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts!"

The man’s eyes glowed with fervor and arrogance as he told this info. It was as if he wanted to be praised and looked after as if he were a lord.

Meanwhile, Davis who already possessed a bad impression on them because of women who seemed to be enslaved further frowned in displeasure.

’Did they just come to talk to us just to satisfy their vanity?’ He reflected and almost openly scoffed but then, he discovered that the man turned to look at Evelynn in a lustful way.

"What are you doing?" Davis echoed his solemn voice, indicating his hostility.

Davis’s intimidation achieved ab intimidation effect against the man as the latter became startled before looking at the former in a scrutinizing light because he felt a unique sense of danger.

He was a Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivator but he felt danger from a Law Seed Stage and Martial Ascendance Stage Cultivator?

’Could it be that this person is faking or suppressing his Essence Gathering Cultivation for some reason?’ The bearded man thought brightly, ’Perhaps also a person of immense status?’

"Which power do you belong to?" He asked as he became cautious.

Davis didn’t even bat his eyes, "We’re unaffiliated cultivators who have settled in the Ethren Empire to make a living."

"And since we seem to have nothing in common, we’re leaving." Davis flew backward along with Evelynn.

However, the bearded man smiled, "Not so fast!"

Davis stopped as he looked towards his back. The bearded man appeared behind their rear now, so they became cornered from both sides.

"You’re rather perceptive, aren’t you?" The bearded man chuckled, "I don’t know for what reason you suppressed your Essence Gathering Cultivation but let me guess..."

His face turned to Evelynn, "Is it because of this woman?"

Davis just narrowed his eyes, not bothering to reply. His reaction made it look like the bearded man was spot on with his deduction.

"Are you courting her? But a man wouldn’t take a woman to the mountains to court her while hunting Magical Beasts... Oh, you were trying to hoodwink and violate her deep in the mountains?"

The beaded man smiled lewdly.

Evelynn went speechless as she heard the accusation cast on Davis. She wanted to laugh but the situation didn’t allow her to do so because of the way the bearded man looked at with a gaze filled with lust.

She didn’t like that gaze one bit!

"She’s my wife..." Davis replied in an unamused tone.

His words caused the bearded man’s smile to fade as his expression became blank but he then laughed out loud.

His laugh lasted for three more seconds before he chuckled, "There’s no way I’m believing that crap... She looks as fresh as a ripened peach!"

"You two decided to fake your marital status just to fool us?"

Davis became exasperated. He had no tolerance for cases such as these! It became clear that these three were targeting Evelynn from the get-go! Even though there were six women who seemed like slaves in their entourage, they still lusted after his wife!

"You better scram if you want your life!"

Davis widened his eyes as his killing intent erupted. His undulations advanced in an ethereal form to overpower the bearded man into meekness.

The bearded man took two steps back as he felt a chill in the back of his spine, inducing goosebumps in him. He came out of his reverie and saw that he was inadvertently scared into submission for a moment!

His face flushed from embarrassment before he tried to find out what was that he experienced. It was a suppression of the soul, the likes of which he had never experienced before.

Not able to find anything of significance from the other party’s cultivation, he turned to look back and saw that his two brothers also wore a look of solemn expressions on their faces.

Their faces seemed to say that they all agreed that the handsome-looking man in front of them could be a hidden expert.

Davis felt that he had given ample warning but looking at their faces which refused to back down, his eyes flashed red for a minute moment!

The bearded man instantly raised and shook his hand, thinking that the other party was going to attack!

"Fellow Cultivator! Don’t be hasty, lest you lose your life from gravely underestimating us!"

Davis narrowed his brows wondering what this bearded man was spouting nonsense for but he suddenly felt it! His eyes instantly shot towards the suave man who seemed like the leader.

He had a relaxed expression on his face despite the warning Davis let out by using his Soul Suppression Art in tandem with his Dark Concealing Shroud Art that concealed his soul undulations. Hence, it became almost impossible for them to garner Davis’s Soul Forging Cultivation other than feeling that it should be very strong.

That said since the leader seemed unable to find Davis’s real cultivation, he chose to reveal his own cultivation instead.

Davis’s body slightly became stiff, trying hard to not show any kind of weakness because...

Eighth Stage! The suave man without any facial hair possessed a Low-Level Law Sea Stage Cultivation!

"Hehe! Surprised? I told you that you should not underestimate us! Even then, you don’t have to worry, because our leader is magnanimous and we three are law-abiding mercenaries of the Ethren Empire where even the Second Prince, Keith Ethren supports us!"

The bearded man sneered in a gloating tone.

"Don’t believe us? It’s the truth I say... Two months before, we hunted an Eighth Stage Magical Beast with the Second Prince and managed to bring it to the Ethren Emperor’s birthday celebration! If you’re in Ethren City, you should know about this, no?"

"Oh... If you were in the Sunset Tear Mountain for more than three months, I guess you would not have heard of it but it doesn’t matter anymore."

"Now that we have released our undulations, I believe that you will know which decision to take in the upcoming business!"

"Business?"

"Yes, a kind of transaction..." The bearded man grinned as he chuckled, "Didn’t I say that we three are a group of law-abiding mercenaries?"

He suddenly pointed his hand back, "For three of our women, hand over yours!"

Davis’s eyes abruptly narrowed in a violent manner!

"Fuck off!"
