"…!"
The Kingly Monarch's gaze went bloodshot. His body shuddered with rage as he saw his Meili's arm being held by another man and treated like a waving stick. With rage clouding his mind, his concealment came undone with his undulations soaring and buffeting the giant trees, even causing them to bend despite their thickness.
"Bastard… give it back…"
He strode forward in a fearless manner, demanding Davis as he pointed his hand at him and waved his sleeve, stopping at a particular distance.
"…"
Davis smirked on seeing this man's reaction. He certainly seemed to be full of himself but didn't seem to be a fool, maintaining distance from them.
"I appreciate you coming back for your lady's hand, but you were the ones who harmed us first, so if you want it back, you better be willing to talk."
The Kingly Monarch clenched his teeth hard as he heard Davis's response, further witnessing him handing it over to one of the women beside him.
If it weren't for the fact that they could probably trace them using Meili's hand, he would've long left with his people. However, he also didn't want to leave her hand here. After all, this was a lawless place, so who knew what they would do with this hand here?
Just imagining the disgusting possibilities caused him to be full of rage.
Regardless, with the opponent wanting to be reasonable at first, he returned wanting to make a deal and try his luck, and unexpectedly, he was being offered a deal.
"Fine. I will give you a heavenly resource at the Mid-Level Sovereign Grade if you hand over her arm back, including the antidote to your poisonous death energy."
"Not so fast~" Davis chuckled, "You killed three of our people here and tried to take advantage of two women after beating them up. If you are any sincere, you will pay up for that as well, Kingly Monarch Morro."
"…!"
Morro's fists radiated cracking sounds, his black-purple wings stretching as though wanting to intimidate them, but he still stayed rooted in his place, his gaze panning over the others as though measuring them up.
"No… Emperor of Death. You don't need to get revenge for us. We're really grateful to you for giving us a hand."
Davis turned to look at Cyclonis Blizzara but lowered his gaze to look at Meili's arm in her grasp.
"…"
Cyclonis Blizzara instantly turned red, "Not this…"
Davis looked away and chuckled at her, sending a soul transmission, "I know. If you were really my people, I wouldn't be making exchanges on your lives."
His gaze fell on Morro, his lips curling, "I'll give you three breaths to decide. I would take silence as a cue for battle, and in that case, it's best that you should make the first move if you don't want to get killed so easily. One~"
Cyclonis Blizzara didn't know what to say to his words. At a glance, he seemed to be helping but was also taking advantage of their losses, and even though she was disheartened that three of her previous sect's disciples died, she couldn't really find fault with him.
Instead, she even felt embarrassed as she recalled the day when she felt like she had cornered him back in the Aurora Cloud Gate with a clan-rattling secret but couldn't even maintain a straight face now. How he grew beyond her strength in a few months was beyond her.
"I heard that a Kingly Monarch is a title bestowed to humans and feys who have King-Tier blood as well, having the ability to cross eight levels in prowess. Truly marvelous, but is it enough? Two~"
Davis's nonchalant voice resounded while Nadia moved to the side ever so lightly. Her movements caused Morro's gaze to flicker as he counted his chances. His expression grew increasingly livid before it suddenly calmed.
"A High-Level Sovereign Grade Heavenly Resource! If you don't want it, then we can only fight!"
His expression was calm, but his voice was loud and booming, causing the trees to shake as though they were caught in a storm.
Davis nodded as though he was impressed.
A Sovereign Grade Treasure was naturally comparable to the Immortal Emperor Grade Treasure. Since a High-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Heavenly Resource was being offered, how could Davis say that it was not enough?
He couldn't help but feel that this man was truly head over heels for that woman Meili, even coming back here after hiding her in someplace, but it was a pity that they were his enemies.
"I don't have an antidote, but I can disperse my death energy from her body if you can bring her here."
"I trust that you won't go against your words."
Morro's white eyes flashed. He left.
The others looked at Davis, wondering what he was planning while he turned to look at Fairy Thunderblaze.
"I warn you. Don't play games with me, so stop following him."
Fairy Thunderblaze's eyes flickered as she cast a gaze at him, "You're going to not subdue them?"
"Only if it requires. I have my own way of doing things."
Davis narrowed his eyes as he glared at her, causing Fairy Thunderblaze to also stare at him for a few moments before she looked away.
"Alright, I won't interfere with the deal you made with him despite the fact that you're the one who said that I have to look for my own food."
As she said, her soul body in the distance that was following Morro dispersed into thin air.
Davis's lips curled. Was she trying to teach him a lesson or make him eat his own words or something?
However, he didn't get it. Considering how strong she was, why didn't she just leave and look for her own treasures? It couldn't be that she was remaining here just because Myria invited her, right? With that being the case, he could only think she was plotting something or simply trying to be the oriole that hunts the mantis that was focused on the cicada.
'But this woman clearly doesn't seek meaningless fights…' Davis couldn't help but think.
Her actions have, in one way or another, always led to benefiting her, making him believe she deemed that facing him in battle was detrimental to her, which always made her take a step back instead of establishing her dominance.
But either way, he would appreciate her if she could remain non-aggressive like this, as she was also a considerable force to deal with.
He was not worried about a single Kingly Monarch but knew there were tens of these kinds of characters out there, with some appearing to be even more powerful. If they were to gather and besiege his group from all sides, he would have no way other than to let everyone else other than his women die, which would also make Fairy Thunderblaze's words come true.
Davis made an annoyed expression, knowing that this was all because of the Transcendent's Cultivation Path's cultivation method that combines all three cultivations, allowing them to display a prowess that's unified and way higher than an immortal at the same level.
Even Nyx Godwin, the first-ranked immortal disciple of the Aurora Cloud Gate, would get his ass kicked here even if he stepped into the peak of the Immortal King Stage.
Just as he wondered how Nyoran also managed to reach this level so quickly, Morro returned with his people.
There were all five, including the gorgeous woman who lacked an arm. In fact, her pale arm, which could only be described as a jade-white sculpture, was now corroded like rusted metal, having cracks all over the shoulder.
Meili appeared like she was in death's bed as the death energy's extinguishing properties even spread over to her neck, perhaps even her lungs. Clearly, his death energy penetrated and extinguished the life in her cells, causing them to crack and appear lifeless. Perhaps, with just a breeze, one side of her body might turn into dust and disappear into the wind.
Its corruption was unstoppable when it was at the same level, and even higher levels would not have much chance of treating unless it was being cured with life energy. That was how terrifying his death energy was with his current intent, especially when he had severed that arm with Yama.
Its lethality was something even a Late Stage Immortal Emperor would be scared of.
"This is a Seven-Colored Rainbow Lily of the High-Level Sovereign Grade."
Morro sent a jade container towards Davis, causing many eyes to shoot up.
Davis knew nothing about this so-called Seven-Colored Rainbow Lily but saw that Tina and Dalila's reactions were enough for this deal to be considered excellent, causing him to receive it with a bright smile on his face while he also sent Meili's arm back, fully healed.
"Quick! Heal her, or it would be an all-out war!"
Seeing that he could really take this damned corrosion away, Morro raised his voice as he gestured towards his Meili, who was gasping harder for breath. Clearly, if she wasn't treated within a few hours, chances are that she would die.
