Chapter 2775 Surrendering?
Chapter 2775 Surrendering?
The black-robed silhouette quickly broke the Starlight Jade Wolf King's azure barrier and rushed towards the immortal inheritors of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan.
The leaders of the other powers quickly congregated towards their own immortal inheritors or people, protecting them as they positioned themselves around them, appearing wary of the assassins who were caught or uncaught the same time as the Zyrus Family Patriarch suddenly shouted and activated the formations of the palace causing a ray of light to descend upon the assassin.
However, the assassin's silhouette swayed as he rushed past the ray of dark light, flicking out a saber from nowhere as his arm flailed towards the female immortal inheritor, intending to cut her down in half.
His speed was such that more than half of the guests present in the hall didn't even see his silhouette, squatting and shivering harder than they had ever had in their lives as they heard the shout.
*Puchi!~*
The saber cut down the female inheritor in half as her eyes went wide in shock. It wasn't even two seconds since the Starlight Jade Wolf Patriarch made a move, and the assassin had already neared her, slicing her down and killing her.
The assassin displayed no emotion and moved on to the next, strangely turning his body. However, he caught the sight of the woman's split body, slightly wavering as though it was an illusion, causing him to be shocked.
But the male inheritor raised his hand towards the Immortal Emperor assassin at this moment, his lips moving.
"Starlight Encumbrance Ray."
A dark green ray of light emerged from his palm, surging with intensity as it locked down the Immortal Emperor assassin. The assassin's movements instantly became slow by more than half, but he was still extremely fast, making his way towards the male immortal when suddenly two more dark green rays fell on him.
"...!"
The Immortal Emperor assassin became shocked at this situation, feeling like he had been baited somehow as they seemed prepared and indeed, looking behind, he saw that the Starlight Jade Wolf King and the female inheritor seemed to form a triangle with the male inheritor as they locked him down in a combined attack that was akin to a formation.
The overwhelming pressure of pure bloodlines and the kingly aura of the Starlight Jade Wolf King utterly suppressed the assassin, causing him to become breathless as he suddenly hit his chest.
*Pui!~*

He spat a mouthful of blood, quickly spitting out the essence blood from his heart and condensing it between the palm of his hands.
p
The dark green ray of light suddenly shattered as a saber cut through, causing the Immortal Emperor assassin to become free, but at the same time, the inherent formation of the palace struck him, causing a protective talisman to automatically encompass him.
"This attempt might've failed, but the next would succeed. My Malevolent Blade Hall doesn't fail a second time. Hehehe~"
With a burst of cackling laughter, the Immortal Emperor's figure dispersed like the wind right in front of everyone. The leaders of the other powers didn't make a move, nor did the Zyrus Family close down the palace, appearing to fear the safety of their people as it wasn't a good idea to corner an assassin, especially an Immortal Emperor from an assassin organization who might readily self-destruct if caught.
At that time, the damage would be incalculable and would lead to war between the powers gathered as they might point their fingers at each other.
Every leader understood this, but still, there was a faint layer of distrust starting to form as assassins just couldn't enter without masquerading as someone or getting help from someone like an insider.
"So it's those bastards from the Malevolent Blade Hall..."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King clenched his teeth, appearing furious by their appearance.
"Malevolent Blade Hall?"
Davis blinked, not having heard of this power before.
His voice caused the Starlight Jade Wolf King to turn around and gaze at him, wondering how he was able to pinpoint the locations of the assassins. If it wasn't for the fact that they started making a move, he imagined that he could've killed them, but it was a chance missed, making him feel some itch.
Nonetheless, he stared at Mo Tian, causing the latter to smile wryly.
"What can I say? After battling Dead End, I'm rather sensitive to the suspicious auras that have the intent to conceal..."
Davis made up some bullshit, causing the Starlight Jade Wolf King to stare at him for a few more seconds before he sighed, patting Davis's shoulder once again.
"It's an assassin organization that was said to have died out after the emergence of the Ghost Tear Hall a few hundred thousand years ago. However, just as the other unknown powers that have started re-emerging from the pocket worlds and mini-realms, the Malevolent Blade Hall is also one of them. It seems they have been hiding for millions of years for this moment."
"Why?" Davis still appeared confused, "What's the point? They don't have candidates, do they?"
"Youngster, it's not about the reward or the honor." The Lumin Family Patriarch interjected, "It's about the opportunity to re-emerge as the victor. The three great assassination powers have offended far too many powers, and now that a fourth one has re-emerged, the power balance is going to tip over one side as they might get sieged by the alliances or even start slaughtering each other for supremacy."
Davis nodded lightly. He took a look around the crowd and saw that the strangeness he felt over some people had completely disappeared. At this point, Davis imagined that the assassins had completely left or were in their natural face, which was unknown to the people present here.
In that case, he felt that it couldn't be helped, but he also didn't let his guard down.
"Mo Tian, obediently surrender. You are under arres-"
"Fuck, you're still going on about that, Elder Itaer Zyrus? Do you want to silence me that much because of the dirt I have on you? Fine, I won't reveal it, okay?"
Davis acted like a true negotiator, his expression serious that left Elder Itaer Zyrus dumbfounded for a moment.
"You hooligan. You don't have any dirt on me in the first place. Besides, even if you didn't harm one of our family members, you are still under the suspicion of being an Anarchic Divergent, so you have the entire world to answer for. Otherwise, the premise is that the righteous powers would mercilessly slaughter you. At least we, a wicked path power, still offer you a path to survival."
"..."
This time, it was Davis's time to be dumbfounded at Elder Itaer's coherent and logical statement. Indeed, as an Anarchic Divergent, the wicked path might be more receptive to him than the righteous path on a scale of generality.
But still, he could see through this puny lie as he could sense everyone was after his attributeless cultivation manual that he had made a hoax of back then in the Void Dust Secret Realm.
"Zyrus Family people, are you ignoring the fact that I have already offered to protect this young man? No one can take him away from me."
Declared the Starlight Jade Wolf King as he placed his hand on Davis's shoulder and clasped it, causing the latter to twitch, wondering if he was going to be protected or dragged away like a helpless maiden.
On the other hand, the leaders of the other powers started to converge around him, basically portraying him as a treasure that they appeared to want to fight for.
'Maybe... hmm... just maybe... my calculations were slightly off this time...'
Davis wryly smiled at the Peak Immortal Kings surrounding him, each of them having the ability to one-shot him to death.
