Divine Emperor of Death

The Poison Mistress held her bleeding shoulder. She popped a healing pill into her mouth that possessed immense vitality. Its grade was actually at High-Level Emperor Grade, causing her to feel pain over using it rather than losing the arm itself.

Nevertheless, she knew which was truly important. Within a few seconds, her shoulder stopped bleeding and instantly grew an arm as flesh, bones, tissues attached themselves. Soon, a full arm appeared, causing her to open and close her fist as if she was testing the comfortability.​​

The whole time, she didn't even flinch in pain, much less raise a scream.

Instead, her expression became strangely calm as she looked at the two approaching men. One of them possessed green hair, and the other man had blue hair, making her understand that they were from the two of the Four Great Dragon Families, the Ike Family and the Orcha Family.

"For what reason are the wicked path powers are here?"

The Ike Family's Powerhouse asked with an imposing tone.

"Old fart, you want to die?"

The Poison Mistress cast a deathly glare with her wide emerald eyes. Her purple hair shook with the breeze as it came free, making her appear as though she was a demon unchained.

The Ike Family Powerhouse's brows twitched. He recognized this woman whose status called her the Poison Mistress, the most favored of the Poison Lord, while her title itself was known as the Ruinous Temptress. The number of powerhouses she killed numbered in the tens, even more than what he killed, which remained in the single digits.

With a bit of trepidation in his heart that came and left, he harrumphed.

"Hmph! Leave, or else we will be forced to put you down!"

"Hehehe~"

The Poison Mistress started to giggle as her body shook. She couldn't help but lower her head as she spoke.

"If you want to send me away, bring your Patriarch or some more powerhouses at your level. I'm simply not in the mood to be considerate because I just faced a miserable defeat..."

Two purple daggers appeared in her hands, radiating a sharp intent while its ends were coated with some unknown yet deadly poison.

"Right now, I feel like rampaging..."

The Ike Family's Powerhouse harrumphed.

If he was alone, he would've scrammed the hell out of here, but he was with three other powerhouses at his level, the High-Level Martial Overlord Stage that left almost the majority of the powerhouses present in the Fifty-Two Territories fear them.

After all, more than ninety percent of ten thousand Ninth Stage Powerhouses are said to be at Low-Level, although he wasn't too specific about the info collected by the All-Seeing Towers.

'Yes, yes, please do. Please kill these bastards for me...'

Davis glanced at the Poison Mistress as he inwardly urged her to do so. She really was a killer and could make these powerhouses run for their lives. If it weren't for his life energy, even he would've ended up dead from her ruinous poisonous energy. Moreover, those two purple daggers that she just took out; its might almost made him widen his eyes in shock.

Peak-Level Emperor Grade!?

Peak-Level Emperor Grade denoted the High-Level and Peak-Level of Ninth Stage, so depending on the quality, it could reach the peak or stay at the high level if the treasure's quality remained low.

At the moment, the Zlatan Family and Domitian Family High-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouses locked him with their pressure, not intending to let him escape. However, they didn't make a move against him, watching the Ike Family and Sarax Family High-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouses confront the Poison Mistress and her eighteen surviving powerhouses of the Poison Lord Villa.

"Mistress, we have no choice. We should call the Poison Lord for help..."

Wicked Glow advised the Poison Mistress using soul transmission while seeing that the odds were against them.

There was no way they could battle on two fronts even with the advantage in numbers.

However, when the Poison Mistress turned to look at him, his scalp turned numb. But then, the Poison Mistress's glare of death was removed from him as a soul transmission fell on his mind.

"Right... There are too many variables, and I doubt that we all combined can take on this powerful woman. I might need my lord to aid me here... Tch, what a disgrace..."

The Poison Mistress tightly clenched held her two purple daggers as she glanced at Isabella over the corner of her eyes, feeling the trepidation in her heart return. Never had she felt so scared of battling a woman before. This flipped her horizons, making her aware that there was a heavenly swan above a devilish swan like her.

The name Dragon Queen Isabella also came to her mind as she almost died, taking Davis off of her mind, but never did she think that this powerful woman and that lass who didn't reach even two hundred years in age were the same people. It was only at this moment that she realized this woman was none other than Dragon Queen Isabella after the Dragon Families arrived.

Nevertheless, she clenched her teeth and redirected her anger at the two old farts in front of her.

"Grand Elders, do you really want to die today?"

Her angered expression abruptly turned into one of a teasing smile, her face becoming extremely beautiful in an instant as the power of her Charm Laws radiated from her.

"I can take you two to heaven above the bed~"

The Grand Elders felt their hearts skip a beat, a smile even lighting up their face as they saw her welcome them. However, they bit their tongue as blood spurted, waking themselves up, but before they could even notice, the Poison Mistress had already closed up upon them.

"AH! Martial Crest!"

A crest abruptly appeared on Ike Family Grand Elder's forehead as the image of a Wind Dragon appeared, even vaguely shining over his body. His body suddenly came to possess unparalleled speed as he retreated when a slash abruptly arrived from his side to his waist.

*Swish!~*

The sound of air tearing echoed while the space even trembled a bit.

Fortunately, he was able to dodge the deadly slash in time while the Poison Mistress's eyes flashed with scrutiny. She twisted her waist and looked at the Orcha Family's Grand Elder appear behind her to ambush her.

His watery sword abruptly slashed down on her from a few meters away, bringing down an immense might that felt like it was going to crush her, but a burst of ruinous poison from her pores instantly caused that Grand Elder to stay his hand and retreat. However, a purple dagger came flying at him, intending to pierce his body.

"Martial Domain!"

His scalp turned numb as he bellowed.

A watery globe instantly surged from him as the center, instantly engulfing the purple dagger that slowed down the approach of its speed before his water in the domain begin pushing it out of it. Slimy water dragons swam in his domain, appearing to push the dagger's poisonous discharge out.

However...

'Martial Crest!'

A crest appeared right above Poison Mistress's cleavage.

It had the appearance of a disastrous skull screaming in pain. An unholy aura erupted around her as the image of numerous skulls lined up behind her face as though it was the countless spirits of the people she killed.

The Orcha Family's Grand Elder felt his heart leap out of his throat as he saw this malignant star come after him in his domain where he had the confidence to crush her by the sheer pressure created in his water. She pierced through the viscous world of water, rushing through despite the hardness, even contaminating his own water with her ruinous poison as she neared him.

'Damn it! I'm at a severe disadvantage with the poisonous attribute...!'

He retreated, wanting to escape, when suddenly he noticed a purple dagger that his slimy water dragons should've thrown out was plunging at him from the side.

"What...!?"

He detected High-Level Soul King Stage soul force controlling the purple dagger as it targeted him.

Who other than the Poison Mistress could it be?

*Puchi!~*

It stabbed right into his arm, instantly spreading its poison into his system as it almost reached his shoulder, but at the same time, he ruthlessly cut down his arm that was stabbed.

Blood splashed as his arm was severed.

*Whoosh!~*

However, he didn't howl in pain but quickly escaped the area, leaving the Poison Mistress to destroy his martial domain. At the same time, he saw his arm that was tempered to High-Level Martial Overlord Stage become ruined as its cells broke down, becoming a mangled mess of goo. There wasn't even any blood. The entirety of his arm turned to goo before it actually disintegrated.

They can stay wary about the other poisons, but this vixen with the Ruinous Poison Calamity Body was dangerous. Her poison was absolutely deadly, capable of killing them, and the only reason they haven't killed her yet is because of the Poison Lord's protection, whose terrifying Hex Laws even scared the likes of the Grand Elders of Heaven Gazing Sect.

No one wanted to be truly cursed.

And since they didn't know the intricacies of Hex Laws, they were reluctant to battle the Poison Lord, and since he also remained withdrawn, not really making trouble in the righteous powers, they could only wait or provoke him to make trouble!
