Chapter 1565 - Sweet Release
Looking at the Orcha Family's Grand Elder lose his left arm, Davis couldn't help but chuckle.
'That's right... The Poison Mistress is a battle genius, from what I can tell.'
'It's too difficult to fight with her. You only need one shot to blow her to bits, but she's extremely flexible with her defenses and knows how to maneuver her attacks. On the other hand, you need to be wary of her charm and poison because if you get hit by both, you can say goodbye to your life until you find the right antidote pill and pill for heartbreak. The only way to defeat her is to overpower her as Isabella did...'
He inwardly couldn't help but take the side of Poison Mistress at this moment because she fulfilled his desires of wanting to hack and slash the Dragon Families' Powerhouses.
Even so, Davis was certain that he could kill her if he used his Death Laws and even Life Laws that essentially purified her dangerous ruinous poison.
"Brat, what are you laughing for!? Are you taking the side of the wicked path powers!?"
"If you want a reason to fight, I'll give you one. I killed your Zlatan Family's Thorus Zlatan because he lusted after my third wife, Isabella. If you're here for the same reason, I'll kill you as well."
The Zlatan Family's Grand Elder who called him out, had his expression quite unsightly as he looked at Isabella.
Could it be that she really had been robbed of her innocence?
"Hmph! I'm not here for such a ridiculous reason. I'm here to kill you for killing our powerhouse without a trial."
"True, I know you'll watch your wife get taken by someone else and again wait for someone else to be the judge of your own life."
Davis mockingly smiled, causing the Zlatan's Family Grand Elder's expression to turn frigid. He turned to look at Isabella, his expression appearing ferocious.
"Have you really married this man?"
"You're not my father or my relative, so stop asking these ridiculous questions and scram back to your family, square-faced old fart."
Isabella's lips curved in annoyance.
Zlatan Family's Grand Elder trembled ever so slightly as he heard her mention his reverse scale.
Who would dare to mock his square-shaped jaw!?
However, he had this vague doubt about who defeated the Poison Mistress a while ago as she claimed to be, not knowing if it was Davis or Isabella, but if he had to guess, it would be Isabella because he could feel more pressure from her when she glared at him.
He didn't dare attack Isabella, but still, the amount of humiliation he faced at this moment got to his head.
"You're coming with us to give us a fair perspective of what had happened, or else... Do you know that the taller you stand on top of the world, the lesser you need to explain yourself to people?"
An intent of threat hung on the Zlatan Family Grand Elder's lips. It made both Davis and Isabella widen their eyes to the audacity of this man.
He already had his avatar do the work. The avatar took all the evidence and was now giving it to the All-Seeing Towers for free so that the world could see the wrongdoings of the Dragon Families.
However, from the words of this man, it seems like it was pointless?
Davis knew this point but would it be pointless as he says or just a bluff?
It didn't bother him the next second.
However, Isabella was furious. Her fists clenched, but before she could make a move, Davis walked towards him.
"Enough playing with schemes. If death is what you desire, I'll give it to you..."
Davis leaped and shot towards Zlatan Family's Grand Elder, his arms engulfing in the brownish-golden light from the might of the Earth Dragon.
At the same time, a brownish-golden light enveloped him and the Zlatan Family's Grand Elder, making the space they were in heavily impactful. However, Davis was like a fish in the waters, moving with incredible velocity as he used both Earth Dragon's Overlord Rush and was strengthened his fist to use Earth Dragon's Destructive Punch.
"High-Level Martial Sage Stage with a Perfect Martial Domain...!?"
The Zlatan Family Grand Elder's expression changed, noticing that his cultivation didn't denote his true strength. The prowess that this brat gave off even suppressed him a bit as well as caused his blood to boil as if it had met its true opponent, also making him incredibly envious, wondering why a brat from nowhere could possess a Perfect Martial Domain.
But then, he smirked, his square-shaped face glowing with a bright golden light before the face of a dragon appeared on his forehead.
"No matter how strong you are, you cannot cross a stage! Ahahaha! Take my Golden Dragon's Crest!"
His body shone with an abnormal golden light, concentrating on the crest before it traveled to his fist that he released towards Davis, who already neared him.
They both punched out at the same time as their fists clashed.
*Boom!~*
Space cracked along with a stream of blood over their clash.
"What!?"
Zlatan Family's Grand Elder felt his right arm's fist crack, his bones displace, and his tendons tear apart. However, looking at Davis's right arm explode from his punch, he grinned as he laughed.
"Ahahah! You fool! Its-"
*Paah!~*
A palm arrived before his right cheek and struck. His square-shaped face caved while his teeth flew to the other side before the force of the slap sent him flying like a kite that had its string cut out as if he momentarily lost consciousness.
Davis heavily breathed as he looked at Zlatan Family's Grand Elder's miserable spinning silhouette before he looked at his right arm that exploded, only to have a forced smile arise on his face on top of bearing the pain.
'As expected, the Golden Dragon should be as strong as the Earth Dragon... Only, their blood became low in quality compared to the fresh blood essences Isabella and I possess. However, instead of pure Earth Laws, the Golden Dragon's Earth Laws possess the properties of gold, a subdivision in the sea of Metal Laws...?'
Nevertheless, it didn't matter to him even as he thought.
He knew he would have his arm blown off even if he punched with his full power. After all, his power did reach High-Level Martial Overlord Stage but just at the lowest point of that stage. Therefore, he was intent on sacrificing his arm to get a one-hit kill.
However, he knew that it wouldn't be easy as the other party had the ability to use a crest, which enables them to strengthen their body by many times. Fortunately, his slap was ample to finish the deal.
In this case, the Golden Dragon Crest that the Zlatan Family's Grand Elder produced increased his strength while previously, the Ike Family Grand Elder's Crest increased his speed.
Crests can only be used on oneself, unlike domains that spread over and engulf the enemies in their power, but unlike domains, crests are like the last fortress of a Martial Overlord Stage Cultivator. If it fails to give the martial cultivator the advantage the cultivator needed, they would have no choice but to run or die because the time it stays active is limited and cannot be used again while the cooldown is active although the usage and cooldown time differs for each cultivator.
Nevertheless, unlike Essence Gathering Cultivators who have to give up their domains to make a sea which really wasn't anything special as Law Sea Stage Experts could still suppress those who practice the same laws as them to a degree, unlike Law Rune Powerhouses who possess utmost suppression, the Body Tempering Cultivators get to keep both their martial domain and their newly created martial crest.
After all, the martial domain was a direct amalgamation of their aura instead of the intricacies learned with laws in the Essence Gathering Cultivation. It was an aspect of foundation and laws etched in their bodies, not just laws.
However, they could only use martial domain or martial crest at a single time as both cannot be used simultaneously. Moreover, a crest had the same divisions as a rune.
Quickly, Isabella arrived before Davis, looking at him in worry, biting her lips while looking at his severed arm that looked so painful.
"Quick, take this healing pill..."
She handed him a valuable Peak-Level Emperor Grade Healing Pill that made the Domitian Family's Grand Elder's eyes go wide.
How could she have a pill like that!?
Her strength and these treasures she held increasingly made him think of a possibility that he didn't want to accept or even think about.
"No problem..."
Davis declined Isabella's help, and in front of her wide black eyes, his arm regrew as a pure white light shone over his right shoulder. Soon, flesh extended along with bones, tendons, and tissues connected before it completely restored his arm in a short few seconds.
"That... it can't be...!"
The Domitian Family Grand Elder's eyes trembled as he noticed.
What was that? Light Laws? No... it felt different!
He couldn't tell what it was!
However, he recalled a woman who was capable of instantly regenerating lost limbs, healing incurable illnesses, and the likes. She was said to have possessed the fabled Life Laws!
'Only Saintess Lunaria mentioned in the legends was capable of such a feat!'
He inwardly screamed, wondering who this crazy brat who possessed this kind of power was!
Isabella relaxedly smiled as she saw Davis's healing prowess.
It was even more exaggerated than hers as she knew it was not easy to recover an arm that has been tempered. Even Mid-Level Emperor Grade Pills wouldn't help restore his arm, and even if it did, it wouldn't be as tempered as it was before, and he would have to re-temper it by practicing Body Tempering Cultivation again, going through an excruciating process of feeding the middle dantian's martial energy to the reconstructed arm.
But looking at his reconstructed arm, it was good as new and appeared even more powerful than the last.
This was practically a miracle in her eyes that made her eyes glow in fervor.
*Thud!~*
However, their eyes all then moved to the Zlatan Family's Grand Elder, who crashed straight into the barrier before he kept being sprung up by the barrier's defense. It tried to damage him as anyone who touched the barrier would get hurt, but because of his High-Level Martial Overlord Stage Body, he didn't receive much damage but was just bouncing on top of it, up and down, the sight of it appearing completely hilarious yet horrifying to some.
"You...! You killed him!?"
The Domitian Family's Grand Elder became swallowed more by disbelief as he saw the lifeless body of the Zlatan Family's Grand Elder that just kept jumping like a spring.
Davis rolled his eyes when he heard that.
'Of course, that slap came with a small gift of death energy sneaking into his soul sea. I'd be surprised to see him live after that...'
"Ahahaha!"
He turned to look at the Domitian Family's Grand Elder and laughed, looking deranged as he widened his eyes with a deep smile visible on his face.
"As promised, I gave him the sweet release of death!"
The Domitian Family Grand Elder's expression went unsightly while the battle on the Poison Mistress's side also came to a stop as they heard Davis's declaration, belatedly noticing that the Zlatan Family's Grand Elder had died to their shock.
On the other hand, the two who brought the four of them here, Sarax Orcha and Heztus Ike, began to tremble in fear, taking two steps back as they tried to gain some distance, perhaps even leave as their hearts rapidly pounded in fear for their lives.
