“What!?”
Tegon Zenflame made a dumbfounded expression with his phoenix face as he saw a minuscule object abruptly elongate and enlarge to engulf Rai Zenflame within.
It grew into a five-hundred-meter-tall palace with ice phoenix patterns carved onto its outer walls. It was the most splendid structure that he had ever placed his eyes on in a long time, and it stood at the center of the undulating skies.
The palace had not existed a few moments prior. It was as though it had materialized out of thin air, causing him to revel in its sudden impact.
The ice phoenix pattern carved into its outer walls glimmered faintly in the light as though surrounded by icy blue flames, revealing its immaculate beauty.
It was a marvelous sculpture of ice, but Tegon Zenflame had no time to gawk over its elegance but became shocked at the missing Rai Zenflame instead. He instantly realized that the other party was trapped inside, causing him to screech at the skies as a phoenix cry resounded from his beak.
Intense scarlet flames surged from his body as he spread his magnificent phoenix wings and began flying toward the palace in the sky. He intended to save Rai Zenflame, flapping his wings at the palace as tornadoes of scarlet flame waves whistled through the air and struck it.
However, none of his phoenix flames managed to make a hole, much less a dent, or even dirty the palace’s walls, for that matter, causing his expression to turn unsightly.
It was an Immortal Emperor Grade palace, making it so that Rai Zenflame was truly trapped inside!
Realizing the implications, he quickly turned around and flew into the distance, abandoning everything, for he knew that their plan had failed. If he didn’t make his escape, perhaps he would also be engulfed by that powerful palace or even arrested by the Aurora Cloud Gate’s Law Enforcement.
“…?”
But at this moment, he suddenly stopped as he saw a congregation of people appearing above the skies, causing his expression to stiffen in both fear and joy.
=========
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Rai Zenflame screamed atop his lungs as he constantly shook his head, his eyes rolling to back every now and then.
He was impaled to the door, and the numerous, thin, icy lights around him that were swords constantly pierced through the surface of his skin, making him experience immense pain as though thousands of knives were carving him apart.
There was almost a crimson lake forming underneath his impaled figure. He had lost a ton of blood, but the vitality of an Immortal King was amazing, constantly rejuvenating the blood without end. His injuries were also quickly healing, but despite that, for every one wound that closed, tens were made, making life a living hell for him at the moment.
Tanya had her hand reached out, controlling the killing formation with focus. If she so wished, she could end Rai Zenflame’s life anytime, but with how he was a nuisance to their family, she took her time making him feel the word regret.
Looking at Tanya torture Rai Zenflame, Davis couldn’t help but derive immense pleasure. It was the same thing she did to the Unfettered Gargantuan Ice Fiend. However, the screams of Rai Zenflame were music to his ears, and his expression turning miserable and pleading every now and then was a sight to see.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking that a smart genius who hadn’t experienced hardship was just a teenager who would fold at the slightest hint of pain, except Rai Zenflame was somewhat holding out, although he looked as though he was going to give up anytime.
“Husband, can I kill him?”
Tanya suddenly sent him a soul transmission, causing him to turn to look at her.
“Personal feelings aside, it’s hard to decide since I want to soulscour him and know what’s the Fire Phoenix Clan really thinking and if it was just his sole decision to commit this act or a command of the Fire Phoenix Clan.”
“True. I want Mingzhi to kill him to let her untie the knot in her heart.”
Tanya responded, causing Davis’s sapphire eyes to gleam.
“Tanya, that’s a good idea. Thank you for being concerned.”
“There’s no need for thanks. We’re women who have promised an eternity with you together, aren’t we?”<.com>
“Either we grow together or fall together.”
“Yes~”
Davis nodded to Tanya’s sentiments, causing her to give a resounding reply. She twisted her hands and burst forth as a wave of icy swords shot from her own hands. Thousands of icy swords formed and stabbed a certain part of Rai Zenflame, causing him to throw his head and scream out loud.
“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”
Thousands of icy swords stabbed his privates one after another. Due to his physical prowess, his thing was able to hold, but after thousands of swords finally made a bloody opening, the next icy sword stabbed, and within a few seconds, it was mutilated beyond compare, causing him to faint.
Davis felt a chill seep into his heart, but scoffing as he knew that Rai Zenflame deserved it, he closed his eyes.
“Nadia, ask Mingzhi if she wants to kill Rai Zenflame. We’ve trapped him.”
He contacted Nadia through their soul connection, waiting for her reply. Within a few seconds, he heard Mingzhi contact him through a message talisman.
“Davis, I don’t know what’s going on, but I implore you. Make mincemeat out of him and feed him to Nadia. Don’t let him leave alive or be arrested, and I ask of you this, knowing the fact that it could worsen things between the Fire Phoenix Clan and us. Forgive me for being selfish, but that bastard has crossed my bottom line. We… cannot live under the same sky…!”
Mingzhi’s words resounded with a vengeful tone, causing Davis to smile.
“Then it shall be done.”
A sigh of relief echoed from the other side, “Thank you.”
“You heard her… don’t act like you’re still unconscious.”
Davis kept the messaging talisman inside his spatial ring and returned his gaze toward Rai Zenflame, whose expression suddenly twitched ever so lightly.
“Tanya, make a mincemeat out of him.”
“Wait!!! Wait…! I apologize! I’ll tell! I’ll tell you everything! Let me go! Please…!”
Davis told Tanya as she nodded, but then Rai Zenflame screamed out loud.
Rai Zenflame was still impaled, but he reacted as though his life was in immense danger, causing copious amounts of blood to flow out. He struggled as tears poured out of his eyes, and there was no longer the willful or mocking look that he possessed but an expression that said that he was pitiful and a victim.
*Boom!~*
Davis didn’t know if this was another ploy of his, but he was about to open his mouth when suddenly, the palace shook from an explosion!
“Emperor of Death, release Rai Zenflame and handover Zahara. They’re both important people to our clan, so if anything happens to their lives, consider that you have completely offended us!”
“Immortal Emperors!”
Mistress Yeyin’s gaze shook as she spoke out loud.
From their words, it was clear that they were from the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, did they trespass the borders to come here?
In that case, Davis and the others quickly felt that this was going to become a huge issue.
