Divine Emperor of Death-Novel

Chapter 139: Unexpected Mishap

When Davis left the Bright Star Royal Palace through the secret entrance, he extended his soul sense to the Inn he stayed in, feeling worried.

Beginning to run towards the Inn, his steps faltered when he saw Evelynn being blasted off into the sky.

A chill ran down his spine as he felt incredibly scared and furious.

Using the 'Thunder Cloud Movement Technique', he ran extremely fast, while his transparent soul body left his body, blasting off at an incredible speed.

This is the advantage of having trained in Soul Forging Cultivation. Reaching the Infant Soul Stage will allow one to manifest a strain of soul outside their body.

Reaching the Young Soul Stage will allow one to manifest a transparent soul body, outside their fleshy body, albeit it will be a little too weak.

Reaching the Adult Soul Stage will allow one to manifest a fully developed soul body, enabling them to battle with it.

Even though his fleshy body ran incredibly fast, comparable to a Peak Revolving Core Stage Cultivator, he was incredibly worried. He couldn't help but send off his soul body as well, ultimately leaving his fleshy body in a vulnerable state.

In his soul form, when he saw her body plunging down to her death, he shouted in an enraged manner as he almost went mad, "Evelynn!!!!"

He hurriedly used his Death Sense to identify the 'assassin's' name, and instantly wrote it in the Death Note, working in tandem with his fleshy body.

[Vanis Claymore, dies immediately!]

The Death Note resided in his soul sea, not his soul body.

But it was too late by the time he managed to leave her name on the Death Note.

Tears erupted from his eyes, while his entire soul body felt severe pain from the surging emotions he couldn't control.

By the time his soul reached near the Inn, Evelynn's body fell on the ground with a thud!

Now that he was in range, he released his tremendous soul pressure on Vanis in fury.

Evelynn had her eyes wide open. For a moment, she felt that her head had been chopped off. She raised her hands slowly to check if her head was intact.

Thud!

Beside her fell a severed hand, making her pupils dilate.

"Aaaarghhh!!!!" A flooding pain erupted in her hands as she realised that her left hand had been cut off while her right hand was cut deeply to her bones, part of her wrist, hanging down in a bloody manner.

Just before the dagger could reach her, the moment she opened her eyes, she simultaneously lifted up her hands to block the dagger with her bare arms, resulting in her arms to be in this state.

Davis's soul body landed in front Evelynn as he heart-wrenchingly comforted her with his words.

"It's alright! It's alright, nothing's going to happen! I'm with you!!"

Evelynn flailed and struggled left and right while she screamed in a heart-wrenching manner. Her eyes were bloodshot while tears were dripping from her eyes.

The pain was too much for her to handle, it was so much that she couldn't even hear his comforting words.

Vanis collapsed as she fell on to the ground. Her death was too merciful.

Davis's fleshy body rushed with enraged emotions. He exactly landed on top of Vanis's head, making it explode into smithereens.

With a single step, he instantly fed Evelynn a precious Mid-Level Sky Grade Medicinal Pill. It was a pill that he obtained from his Alchemy master as a life-saving pill.

Some semblance of sanity returned to her eyes as she felt the energy of the pill flowing into her body. Her body started to warm up, while her injuries and cuts that covered her whole body stung in pain as it stopped bleeding. After a few seconds, her left and right arm stopped bleeding as well.

Davis kept shedding tears as he looked at her bloody figure. He lifted up her head, made her lie down on his shoulders and helped the energy of the medicinal pill to circulate throughout her entire body, while his soul body turned to look at a direction with a cold face, filled with murderous anger.

Sasha felt her entire body go cold as she felt his gaze. In fact, her body froze the moment she saw him stepping on Vanis's head.

But her face lit up in a grin as she looked at his soul body with a crazed face, "Don't marry that cripple, she's trash and won't fit with your status. Why don't you marry someone like…" Before her words came to an end, her head flew off as it fell on the ground in a serene manner. Her body collapsed from the broken wall of the Inn, falling on the floor with a thud. Blood flowed on the ground like a river as it sprayed from her neck.

His soul body held a simple sharp sword in its hands, conjured from his own soul. It looked above and saw a trembling silhouette peeping out from a window.

He flicked his conjured sword, and just when he was head out to behead her as well, a weak voice sounded out.

"… She… She didn't…" Evelynn said in a faint tone. One of her eyes were half open while another was closed. Her breathing was ragged while her clothes had slashes and numerous holes in it.

Hearing her voice, Davis felt incomparably happy, his soul body immediately went back to his fleshy body.

Now, to him, taking revenge wasn't important, only treating her injuries were important!

Besides, he felt that he had already taken revenge as he only saw those two women attack Evelynn with his Soul Sense.

"Stay Strong! Nothing will happen to you! I will heal before you even know it!" Davis said as he meant each word from the bottom of his heart.

But there was a faint sadness in his eyes while he looked at her two hands because her two hands were a lost cause for now.

Unless she reached the Body Transformation Stage, it will be impossible to regrow a limb without the right heavenly resources.

When one reaches the Body Transformation Stage, is when one sheds their mortal body, creating a body that is more attuned to the laws of the heavens.

Even if she reached the Fifth Stage in Body Cultivation, it will still be useless as Body Cultivation only increases one's bodily might, the density of the bones and enhancement of the organs.

Davis narrowed his eyes, sensing the lofty characters of the Ashton Empire arriving at this place.

He removed his black robes, covering her up with it, he lifted her up as gently as possible.

Evelynn groaned as she felt her entire body ache in pain while being lifted up.

A few moments passed as many silhouettes arrived at the scene one by one.

Emperor Ashton stood in front of them and solemnly surveyed the scene.
