Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 158

Kristo hurriedly jumped in and blocked Shirley from going berserk, ”Shirley! Stop this! The Emperors looked quite serious this time . . . If we fight among ourselves, we would be heavily punished without fail . ”

With her pristine sword unsheathed, Shirleyʼs arm trembled from hate from just looking at that bastardʼs handsome face which turned ugly in her mind .

She slowly calmed herself down as she brought her scabbard out and sheathed her sword . She then placed it beside her waist and turned back, rushing ahead .

”Wait, Iʼll come with you, little sister!” Kristo shouted and hurriedly followed after her while giving a sidelong glance at Kennet, indirectly telling him to back off .

Kennet Claymore gritted his teeth in part shame and part anger . He looked around the crowd to see himself being observed by mocking gazes .

Coldly harrumphing, he left with a few members which he had previously formed outside .

The other youths also teamed up with others and followed after their trail .

. . .

Shirley ran ahead cautiously, albeit a little faster since she knew that Davis went ahead of her .

So far, from the previous openings of the secret entrance, they have been able to map out their half of the place quite well .

Due to the power difference between them, they had not been able to map out their latter half of the passageway, which is technically the enemyʼs territory .

Kristo glanced left and right to see narrow pathways, leading to some other places which connected the whole long straight path .

”Little Sister Shirley, why are you going so fast? Donʼt tell me you want to catch up with that cold-hearted kid?” Kristo frowned as he questioned .

He had been dissatisfied with Davisʼs indifference for quite a while and didnʼt like bothering with him in the first place .

”Yes, Elder Brother Kristo . . . You donʼt need to bother with me . . . ” Shirley replied with an anxious expression on her face .

”Come on little sister . . . Iʼm your elder brother . Be proud of yourself, even though we boast the same strength, your age is way lower than mine . You donʼt need to follow him relentlessly . . . Even without him, you can live a happy life by being matched up with someone here . . . ” Kristo shook his face wryly .

”Did father tell you to say that?” Shirleyʼs voice turned cold .

Kristo blinked before laughing off in a gentle manner, ”Haha, looks like I canʼt escape my sharp little sister . . . ”

”Leave me alone . . . ” Shirley sighed and increased her speed, quite anxious to see him .

”Stop!” A hand suddenly grasped her hand, causing her to look back with an irritated expression on her face .

”Thereʼs someone there . . . ” Kristo whispered slowly pointing in a direction, causing her to turn stiff .

She was momentarily distracted by his comments that she missed an unknown figure, leaning on the side of the wall .

Her first thought was that it was Davis but looking at the figure which was bulkier and taller, she narrowed her eyes .

Turning incredibly cautious, she unsheathed her sword and shouted at that figure, ”Stop playing dead!”

Even though the cave was dark, they could still see somewhat ahead with their vision . There were no visible injuries on that figure which wouldʼve made the figure die . Besides, their soul sense could penetrate no more than 50m in this space, and that figure was within that range .

A few seconds passed but they heard no reply .

They then looked at each other, and nodded their heads, cautiously heading to the figure beside the wall .

There was a man with a bulky build, his hands held an axe, which was slightly glowing in the dark light . His finger held a ring .

A ring which was coveted by the youths who entered this place .

”Spatial Ring . . . ” Shirley and Kristo were quite shaken on seeing a valuable spatial ring being abandoned like that . Besides, now that they were close, they could basically confirm that this bulky figure had died just a while ago .

”Only Prince Davis could do this . . . ” An involuntary sigh could be heard coming from Kristo, even though he didnʼt want to admit it .

”A soul attack . . . ” Shirley mumbled as she tried to guess what kind of soul technique killed this bulky man .

”Hmm . . . If he left the spatial ring . . . Then it means that he doesnʼt need it . . . Damn! Why donʼt I have a master which might enable me to view these spatial rings with disdain!” Kristo said with jealousy as he viewed the space ring with greed .

He glanced at Shirley and decided to unceremoniously take the spatial ring for himself .

Shirley was glad at the fact that Davis was close . She didnʼt bother with him and instantly dashed in his direction again .

”Hey! Wait . . . ” Kristo fumbled with the corpseʼs finger and finally took out the spatial ring . He then hurriedly followed behind her .

As they travelled in a straight direction, their bodies trembled, a feeling of being ants emerged within them in front of a certain existence .

The whole pathway was littered with corpses left and right, shocking them to the core .

Whatʼs more . . . All the corpses possessed spatial rings of their own .

”Is he a monster . . . ?” Kristo shuddered as he stopped following her and stood beside the clean pile of fresh corpses .

Gulping heavily, he managed to calm down by taking some deep breaths only after quite a while .

Just when he thought of plundering the spatial rings, he heard footsteps from behind him causing his face to change .

Shirley went on ahead as she glanced at the corpses one by one . Whether male or female, they were all dead, their bodies looked as if they were just sleeping peacefully .

She couldnʼt believe what kind of heavenly technique that would have caused this massacre . To her senses, it certainly didnʼt feel like one, but it was as if they were all put to sleep by a miracle .

The shock she received was quite difficult to handle, her heart trembled under the weight of inferiority after seeing his achievements with her eyes .

She finally stopped in front of a corpse and looked at it blankly . She blinked slightly with her eyes which clearly said that it wasnʼt able to believe such a sight .

She dropped to the ground and looked ahead of the dark pathway, which suddenly seemed endless to her .

It was as if the pathway told her that no matter how she chased him, she wouldnʼt be able to be with him .

Footsteps along with joyous shouts echoed behind her, causing her to glance back .
