Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2416 Striking Terror

Chapter 2416 Striking Terror

Klein Zyrus clenched his neck in an effort to stop that invisible hold from choking him to death, but it was no use as he hung in mid-air, shaking his legs as his tongue came out.

"Le-let me go..." He managed to sc.r.a.pe out these words as he gasped.

"Since you met a dead end, there's no need for a way out. Just die."

Davis spoke in a hoa.r.s.e, ominous voice as he clenched his fist, causing the darkness that enveloped Klein Zyrus to seep into his body, devouring him from within.

"You are… Dead End?" Void Terror's voice echoed from the hidden layers of s.p.a.ce.

His doubtful voice instantly ignited a memory fragment within the youths' minds.

'Dead End!? The second-ranked a.s.sa.s.sin that abruptly soared to prominence in this half a year period!?'

Most people wouldn't pay attention to the rankings of the three supreme a.s.sa.s.sination powers, but the young geniuses and the elders in charge of protecting them would. After all, if they were the slightest bit careless, an a.s.sa.s.sin would appear from nowhere and a.s.sa.s.sinate them in silence!

Such scenarios were plentiful, and they tried to remove the branches in retaliation, only to be met with a ma.s.sive retaliation from the a.s.sa.s.sin powers. Because of that, many sects have disappeared from time immemorial, never to rise up again.

Learning their lesson from others, they didn't dare take up with the a.s.sa.s.sination powers but learned to live with it. As long as their elders could protect their young ones, both parties had no problem. It almost became a game of hunt and the hunted.

But in secret realms or other locations that suppressed access to cultivators with higher cultivation bases, it was basically a hunting ground for the a.s.sa.s.sins to hunt the young experts. Therefore, the young experts will always double checked the rankings before entering and, because of it, knew that Dead End was a newcomer but ranked second!

He was a soaring genius of the Ghost Tear Hall that couldn't be underestimated!

However, rather than them underestimating him, they never thought that he would be able to subdue Klein Zyrus in one move! It was almost like… he was another Mo Tian.

Realizing this, Void Terror decided to test the darkness as he appeared behind Dead End, stabbing out with his dark dagger. There was no way he would allow a fellow a.s.sa.s.sin to steal his prey without doing anything.

"Indeed, I am."

Just as Davis acknowledged that he was Dead End in his hoa.r.s.e voice, a sharp edge flew out from the outer layer of the void, filled with spatial energy as it pierced through Dead End. However, it struck nothing as Dead End's figure faded away and appeared elsewhere.

Void Terror turned to look at Dead End, becoming shocked. He was fairly confident of his concealment skills as even Mo Tian seemed unable to find him, much less Klein Zyrus, but Dead End reacted as if he already knew his position to easily dodge his attack.

Moreover, he had done it without any help from the spatial environment whatsoever.

The next moment, he felt a tremor run through his body before he could re-enter the crevices of the spatial void. It was like as though he had been sliced into two pieces.

Instantly, he abandoned his concealment technique that used spatial essence energy and unleashed the Ghost Tear Hall's movement technique, the Hateless Ghost Emperor Steps.

Within two steps, Void Terror strangely moved and dodged Dead End's scythe that was about to slice him into two lumps of flesh.

"Oh?"

Davis saw that Void Terror actually escaped from his attack. Although he wasn't being serious, he still used a power that was enough to kill Void Terror in an instant. However, the Hateless Ghost Emperor Steps displayed its wonder at the moment, completely eluding his attack.

At the same time, Davis's gaze moved to Klein Zyrus, noticing that the latter somehow broke through his suppression and escaped in a direction.

'He used his soul essence, huh...'

Imagining that the soul essence from the Ghastly Cloud Soul Physique was special and powerful, he didn't find it surprising that Klein Zyrus managed to break free from his suppression. However, he didn't instantly give chase either as he saw the direction Klein Zyrus headed towards, his lips curving into a sly smile.

"Mo Tian, save me!"

Klein Zyrus cried out with desperation seeping out from his voice.

"What!?"

Unexpectedly, Klein Zyrus relied on his most hated enemy at this moment, causing the others to be dumbfounded.

Even Davis was also momentarily taken aback, wondering how shameless this Klein Zyrus could be.

Everyone turned to look at Mo Tian, only to see him shrug.

"Mo Tian! I'll pay you a hundred million immortal crystals and forget about our altercation. Quick, save me!"

"Impossible. You already told me that I deeply offended the Zyrus Family, so how can I help you even if I want to?" Mo Tian spoke out, and he did so in an aggrieved manner that caused Klein Zyrus to become stumped.

"You-!"

Just as Klein Zyrus wanted to scream out in rage, the dark quagmire enveloped him from behind once again, causing his expression to change. Instantly, he burned twenty percent of his soul essence to use an escape art, no longer wanting to stay here in this area.

*Swssss!~*

Darkness energy shrouded his body, seeping into every corner of his body in an instant before it allowed him to disappear from everyone's gaze.

"…?"

Davis's eyes narrowed as Klein Zyrus disappeared from his senses, but there was a glint of amus.e.m.e.nt in his eyes.

Finally, he got to see the full power of the Ghastly Cloud Physique and its ability to conceal. However, he didn't become irritated or annoyed as he swung his scythe.

Darkness energy surged forth from the pitch-black blade, imbued with a bit of death energy from Yama as they flew through the s.p.a.ce and struck together an empty s.p.a.ce.

*Pui!~*

A figure flew out from that location of impact and spurted a mouthful of blood. There was a huge wound on his shoulder, appearing to have almost cleaved him apart.

Klein Zyrus felt his consciousness fade as all the exhaustion from being chased by Void Terror and continuous usage of his soul essence for five days. .h.i.t him at the same time, especially as the backlash of failing to perform the escape art to its fullest struck like a boulder right to his face.

'Is that… a Death-Attributed Armament!? How is Dead End able to control that!?'

A few who recognized the scythe's specialty couldn't help but become alarmed more than Klein Zyrus falling.

"You think you can escape Dead End?"

Davis spoke as he cackled lightly and captured Klein Zyrus with a flick of his finger, bringing his unconscious body to him as it was wrapped by a hand of darkness. With him having marked Klein Zyrus with a minute strand of death energy, it was impossible for Klein Zyrus to conceal himself and escape unless his prowess was more than Davis's.

Nonetheless, after capturing Klein Zyrus, he raised his head and turned to look at the white-robed figure before the Void Dust Tree.

"You want to save him?"

Instantly, the atmosphere surrounding the island chilled as though icy weather pervaded.
