Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-2708

Scarlet flames caused the air to shimmer with crimson, illuminating the vast space with a bright, majestic glow. The air was hot enough to make an Immortal King's hair stand on end, and they would feel the heat of the flames against the bare skin of their neck, making it even more difficult to breathe.

Davis instantly felt his breath become stagnant in his throat, the searing hotness of the flames trying to overwhelm him. Back in the Mercurial Blitz Ice Valley, he felt the opposite of it, making his body feel ice-cold, but now, the searing heat made him instantly sweat.

Nonetheless, despite the massive skies he was surrounded by being engulfed in scarlet flames and the broken flying boat disintegrating in an instant, he didn't react at all.

"First Style, Merciful Icy Dream."

A melodious voice resounded as the sound of ice forming could abruptly be heard. Simultaneously, a wave of ice surged from both sides of Davis and unfurled into a single giant icy sword bursting past the scarlet flames, instantly causing the flames to freeze.

"What!?"

Davis's eyes went wide as he witnessed this scene. The ability to freeze flames?

However, he wasn't the one who shouted, as it was Tegon Zenflame who did and had his pupils dilate into tiny slits, exuding immense shock. He flapped his phoenix wings and hurriedly retreated.

"Ahh!"

But the giant icy sword stabbed his shoulder, causing him to release a miserable phoenix cry as blood splattered in the skies. A river of blood spurted from his body, but all that blood froze over in an instant.

"Break!~"

Tegon Zenflame screamed as his massive phoenix body was slowly encased in ice, disallowing him to burst forth with his scarlet flames.

"You! You can't kill me!" He became shocked at the power of the ice sword embedded into his rib. It was purely made from ice energy, causing him to cry out in an instant as he knew that he was outclassed.

However, the icy-robed woman behind him paid no heed and watched him continue to be encased in ice.

Tegon Zenflame's gaze shook.

Numerous questions popped up in his head. Like, how did they even find him flying in some random location? Especially when he had made an effort not to make a beeline into the Western Fire Phoenix Prefecture, as that would be highly suspicious.

Could it be that he had overlooked something?

But the most important question of it all was if he was going to die or not as he looked at their indifference.

Suddenly, he even spotted Yeyin standing beside them, looking at him in a cold light. Could it be that Zahara's half-sister had some way to find her? He imagined that must be it, clenching his teeth as he burned his blood essence.

Quickly, his body that was freezing over was like a fire that had oil poured over, causing scarlet flames to burst out heavily.

Tanya narrowed her eyes. She was way stronger than Tegon Zenflame, and due to the difference in power, she calculated her strength according to his level so that she doesn't accidentally kill him but make him suffer, but it seemed like he forced his way out of it by sacrificing his blood essence.

"So it was you, the half-sister with the bastardly bond."

Tegon Zenflame pointed his finger at Yeyin as he revealed a disgusted smile.

Mistress Yeyin's eyes gleamed with a cold light. She couldn't believe the Fire Phoenix Clan would deign to kidnap one of its own, causing her to clench her fists furiously.

"You should die."

"Ahaha. Unfortunately for you, I'm still a disciple of the Aurora Cloud Gate, so you can't kill me."

"I don't think the Aurora Cloud Gate will blame us as you have kidnapped a disciple forcefully."

"That's not for you to decide. The Law Enforcement will decide it!"

Mistress Yeyin and Tegon Zenflame exchanged words back and forth, both of them looking furious for different reasons.

On the other hand, Davis finally relaxed and glanced at Tegon Zenflame.

From the sect headquarters to here, he had flown so fast with Tanya's help that they practically zoomed past the horizons. He imagined that their flying speed had crossed three hundred thousand kilometers per second at the very least.

With him identifying the direction of the thread, it had only taken them a few minutes to reach their destination, only to see a lone flying boat which they instantly identified as suspicious and infiltrated it.

Davis saw Tegon Zenflame inside suddenly appear before a floating life ring which made him quickly guess that Flamerose was inside of it since she wasn't anywhere else on the flying boat, according to his senses.

He quickly made a move, wanting to take the life ring, but as expected, Tegon Zenflame noticed him with his high cultivation and prowess that was at least three levels higher. Instantly, he decided to attack him at that moment, causing him to sever his hand by the wrist and retrieve the life ring.

People make many mistakes in a panic, but this mistake made by Tegon Zenflame was a grave one but felicitous for him. After all, Tegon Zenflame could've just absorbed the life ring into his spatial ring, but he had forgotten about it, moving his hand to grasp it instead when it was already bound to him.

That was a stupid mistake on his part, allowing Davis to reap his hand along with his life ring and spatial ring off of him.

Using his soul sense, he verified that Flamerose was indeed locked inside all alone. With that in check, he finally opened his mouth.

"You will-"

Abruptly, his eyes went wide as he turned to look at Tanya.

*Ssss!~*

Scarlet flames abruptly engulfed them from above, causing the air to curve and space to distort and bend. A person appeared right above them, plunging them into the depths of scarlet purgatory as the flames rapidly expanded and covered an entire area in an instant.

*Bwoooooooommm!~*

A shockwave formed, causing the flames to spread outwards and create a massive explosion. A diameter of four thousand kilometers was quickly engulfed in overwhelming and majestic scarlet flames wreaking havoc all over the confined space.

Above the scarlet sphere of flames, the crimson-robed person took back his hands, waiting for the flames to die down. In a few seconds, he finally sensed that there were no undulations remaining.

Everything in that airspace was completely turned into ashes by him, causing him to look at the Fire Phoenix in the distance.

"Tegon, you did very well for a bait." Rai Zenflame couldn't help but grin.

He was on his way to the flying smuggling boat, but on the way, he noticed Davis and the others zooming past him, causing him to trail them and ambush them. Although he had no idea how they managed to find out their smuggling path, he wasn't interested in knowing that but wanted to make the kill which he successfully accomplished at this moment.

"Yes... senior." Tegon Zenflame's expression twitched.

He didn't dare offend this senior whose prowess stepped into the Immortal Emperor Stage while still being a Level Nine Immortal King. However, he also wasn't able to stop an excited expression from appearing on his face as they had finally killed the Emperor of Death!
