<h4>Chapter 1143 Deathly Scared</h4>


    "You rats!"


    Lord Gaisha continued to bellow, "How dare you pipsqueaks not listen to my words!?"


    He jumped and shed apart a Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillo’s head with a single swing of his hand that possessed the long-sharp nail.


    He revealed his anger and made an example before he screamed, "Go bring Rasen!!!"


    "Yes!!!"


    Many Amberal-Armored Armadillos scampered as they rolled away, burrowed into the ground, and left to bring the so-called Rasen.


    A smile appeared on Lord Gaisha’s long wide lips before he turned to look at the troublesome person who seemed to want his life.


    "What do you mean? You’re going to let me kill another Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Amberal-Armored Armadillo of your n?" Davis voiced out his doubts.


    If Lord Gaisha said no, then he decided to kill him directly without speaking another word. He had already given his word to Nadia that he would return soon. If he appearedter, as the master, he felt that he would have no face left.


    Lord Gaisha gritted his jagged teeth, grinding them as he smiled, "That’s right! My subordinate Rasen would take my ce to fulfill your needs."


    "Hey! Watch your words!" Davis’s expression fell.


    It was the second time! He had enough of this Lord Gaisha’s strange-sounding sentences.


    Lord Gaisha became taken aback, not understanding. Did he say something wrong?


    He stared at Davis as if he was looking at a fool before he continued, "Since you are someone of great importance in the Alstreim Family as you possess an extraordinary battle prowess and im that Young Master Weiss Alstreim is dead, I’ll choose to believe your words for now."


    Davis squinted his brows.


    That was all it took to change their minds? They didn’t investigate further into his background? Shouldn’t they confirm that he was really an Alstreim or not as they seemed to possess messaging talismans? Just his blonde hair was enough?


    ’Oye... These magical beasts are truly naive!!!’ Davis couldn’t help butment.


    He felt that these were truly intelligent creatures, but it seems that there was a limit to how intelligent they can be, and perhaps, it was due to the living environment that they didn’t consider that he might be lying through his teeth while disguising himself.


    Heck, he didn’t even reveal the fabled crimson mes of the Alstreim Family, and yet they still believed that he was an Alstreim.


    Davis had nothing to say to this misunderstanding that was not a misunderstanding. He was an Alstreim anyway.


    If his presence in the Hundred Devil Thunder Archipgo was known to Ancestor Dian Alstreim, he really didn’t care. He just didn’t want interference, and he felt that Ancestor Dian Alstreim should understand that since he left without saying a word.


    Besides, to a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, this archipgo was like a mere minute away from the Grand Alstreim City. He felt that Ancestor Dian Alstreim most likely wouldn’t show up even if he heard that he was here. After all...


    ’I wonder if he conquered Ancestor Tirea Snow already...?’ Davis couldn’t help but smirk, ’Or are they still at it like rabbits?’


    It was more than a thousand years before they reunited and found their love again. After all, from what he knew, they still didn’te out from the Ancestral Hall.


    He felt that it wouldn’t be strange if they spend a year with each other without showing their face outside. If it was him, he felt that he would do the same, although a time like thousand years still seemed so far and distant that his perception didn’t seem to be capable of grasping it.


    "Make it fast! I have no time to waste!" Davis bellowed.


    In truth, he decided one magical beast from a single species would suffice. He was murdering to increase his strength, and he was aware that he was wrong, but he didn’t want to exterminate their powerful magical beasts for this reason as they were their assurance to function as a n. Otherwise, he would’ve killed both Gaisha and Rasen, securing two Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences for himself.


    That would essentially secure his way to enter the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage as he would possess three Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Soul Essences. He got one from the octopus-like magical sea-beast already, so he only needed two more to enter the next level in Soul Forging Cultivation.


    Of course, if the living party wanted revenge for the dead, he didn’t mind killing them as well, even though he was aware that he was overbearing like a tyrant. His kindness was only to satisfy himself and his loved ones, and he didn’t care what these strangers, these magical beasts felt.


    ’Mhm... No wonder cultivators are unreasonable, not listening to the other side of the story before they kill as they might feel immoral, perhaps even guilty...’ Davis gave himself a short introspection as he felt that humans were truly conflicting creatures.


    He was well aware that he was in the wrong, and yet, he wanted to gain a valid reason to kill them. He hoped that they would offend him so that he could kill them while justifying himself.


    ’All of that to maintain myw-heart and not lose my way in the path of cultivation...’ He sighed, wondering what he was doing, feeling like a hypocrite.


    He became aware that he was setting limits for himself, so he doesn’t misuse his powers.


    While he was in his own world, two minutes passed, and an Amberal-Armored Armadillo appeared rolling on the ground at a tremendous speed. It jumped and curled out of its ball-like figure and stood twenty meters tall as itnded on the ground.


    It shot a look at Lord Gaisha before turning to look at Davis, seemingly understanding what was going on. It was as if the others had already informed it of what had happened.


    "How courageous of you toe without running away, Rasen." Lord Gaisha snickered, "I’m so happy that you’re willing to take my ce."


    Rasen, the other Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast, gritted his jagged teeth in hatred and anger as he spoke.


    "Why do I have to die in your ce?"


    "Oh..." Lord Gaisha brought his hand up and made a cutting motion to his neck with his long-sharp nail, "Do you n to rebel? You know what the punishment is, don’t you?"


    Rasen trembled as his armor made jittery sounds. He closed his eyes before he opened, a red gleam shing in his eyes, "If I die in your stead, will you release my mother?"


    "Of course! After you disappear, I have no use for that old rat..." Lord Gaisha couldn’t help but snicker.


    "Alright!" Rasen took two steps forward towards Davis before he kowtowed, "I’ll dly offer up my head."


    Davis’s brows twitched. That’s all it took for him to give up his life?


    However, while he saw the sight of a filial magical beast, he also saw a magical beast that trembled to the fear of death. That’s right, Rasen’s body, his armor was trembling while making jittery sounds.


    Watching Rasen, Davis didn’t feel like cutting him down at all that he couldn’t help but say, "Do you have any assurance that your mother would be let go once you died? What if he lied?"


    "What!? Lord Gaisha is lying?" Rasen turned back to look at Gaisha, his eyes widening in shock.


    "Fool! If I said that I would release, then I would..." Lord Gaisha became annoyed before he hatefully looked at Davis.


    What did this human want!? Could it be that he was specifically targeted!?


    "Oh... Alright then..." Rasen slowly nodded his head before he kowtowed towards Davis again as if ready to be beheaded. However, his body still kept trembling.


    Davis’s eyes twitched as he saw this scene. He really had to say...


    These magical beasts were rather... simple!


    Abruptly, Davis and the other magical beasts turned to look in the east direction. The sound of the earth rumbling echoed, and they could see the sight of numerous balls rolling on the ground, swiftly approaching them with a tremendous speed.


    "Reinforcements...?" Davis uttered in confusion as he sensed numerous Lord Beast Stage undtions from the Amberal-Armored Armadillo horde.


    Could it be that Lord Gaisha and Rasen were acting together, just buying time?


    ’How could it be!?’ Davis turned to look at the two of them and saw that they were equally puzzled.


    ’Okay, what’s going on here?’ Now he truly felt lost.


    "Hahahaha! Lord Gaisha! We, the eastern boundary armadillos, have unexpectedly caught a sacrifice!"


    An Amberal-Armored Armadillo curled out of its ball and shouted in eagerness. The other Amberal-Armored Armadillos followed suit in sharing their opinions.


    "Lord Gaisha! Young Master Weiss Alstreim would be extremely satisfied with us!"


    "Yes! Yes! We don’t have to worry about giving tributes for a few more years!"


    "This woman is on the list! It seems like she is an important figure, the gra-"


    Thest Amberal-Armored Armadillo suddenly stopped speaking as it saw that the atmosphere was rather strange. It then noticed a small figure at the side, holding an emerald scythe as it rested on its shoulders.


    Lord Gaisha’s expression fell, but he narrowed his brows as he saw a white-robed woman being carried on one of the Amberal-Armored Armadillo’s back. She had her face and body turned towards the back of the armor, so her appearance wasn’t visible at all.


    The horde soon arrived in front of them, but they remained silent, not understanding what was happening.


    Lord Gaisha turned and revealed an ugly smile towards Davis, his tongue falling out, "WRYY!~ Esteemed Young Master, I’ll give you this woman, and you can enjoy her however you want in exchange for the safety and a few years of tribute-less living for our n."


    He spoke in a fawning manner as if he couldn’t wait to lick his new master’s feet. It was as if he had already decided Weiss Alstreim was dead.


    "Weiss..." Davis’s eyes gleamed in a cold light, "Just how much of a scum were you?"


    He instantly understood that Weiss Alstreim ordered these Amberal-Armored Armadillos to capture their female elites who came to train, eventually making them his women in secret and possibly, even getting rid of them after enjoying them.


    There were numerous cases of young elites dying in this Hundred Devil Thunder Archipgo, and there were particrly cases of women disappearing in alternate years. It didn’t warrant a search from the Alstreim Family as death, their corpse being eaten by magical beasts, or getting shot by the thundershower into ashes here was asmon as clouds.


    Davis lifted his Grieving Emerald Scythe, and his eyes shed with deathly ck-light as he disappeared from the ce he stood.


    "!!!"


    Lord Gaisha turned stiff at the moment, momentarily nking out.


    "Wha...?"


    The next moment, he found himself falling to the ground. He didn’t understand what was happening and suddenly found himself feeling cold below. He nced back before his eyes squinted into tiny slits.


    ’Whose lower half was that...?’ He couldn’t help but think as he saw the lower half of Amberal-Armored Armadillo.


    He blinked before his eyes widened in utter shock!


    "WRYYYYYY!!!~~~" A shriek of pain echoed from his throat as he struggled on the ground, twisting and rolling around in agony! Blood continually flowed out from his body while his lower body spurted the same blood as it rained down like a fountain on him.


    Davis stood by the side as he held the emerald scythe, no, the deathly dark glowing scythe as he stared at it. The Grieving Emerald Scythe was trembling in fear. His expression softened as he retracted the death-like energy from enveloping the scythe.


    "It’s nothing to fear, Yama. It is my power..." He spoke through soul transmission.


    "Y-Yes... Ma-Master..." Yama had a difficult time answering after recovering from it.


    It had never experienced such grim and overwhelming energy that it made it tremble from the very bottom, the foundation of its spirit soul. Fortunately, it knew that it came from its master, so it knew that it wouldn’t be harmed but still couldn’t help but be scared.


    Every Amberal-Armored Armadillos in this area looked at Lord Gaisha like they were looking at a ghost, their eyes wide in shock. They couldn’t believe that he was going to be killed! They saw the human walking towards Lord Gaisha before he severed his head with the emerald scythe, making their minds further reel in disbelief!


    The new horde also had the same expressions on their faces.


    Lord Gaisha was dead!


    Then, they suddenly saw the human walking towards them in an intimidating manner. Their minds screamed at them that they should run, but their instincts told them to stay put and not move a single limb!


    Davis finally arrived in front of the frozen Amberal-Armored Armadillo that carried the woman on its back. He flew above, reaching its height before he saw that the woman’s white clothes were rather bloodied a bit.


    ’Is she injured...?’


    Davis reached out his hand and grabbed the woman’s disheveled hair.


    When he lifted up her head, his eyes unexpectedly widened in shock.


    "Sophie!?"
