Chapter 403 - Clash(Part-2) (1/2)

The wind howled as they moved fast at an incredible speed, as they moved Zywia who was listening to the conversation between Frost Flames and Frozen Ocean spoke with concern in her voice, ”Ryuu there is something that I wished to ask you.”

Ryuu turned his head towards her as he spoke, ”What do you wish to ask me about, Zywia?”

”The Preta Realm cultivators do you know them?”

Daniella frowned as she spoke, ”Why would brother Ryuu know about those sc.u.m? I know he is in the army but unless he had fought against them I do not think he would know them.”

”When a cultivator has gained enough notoriety a bounty is placed on their heads, a practice that both realms follow, as such I wanted to know if Ryuu knew any of them.”

Ryuu hesitated for a moment as he spoke, ”I was able to recognize a few of them.”

Frost Flames raised one of her elegant brows as she asked him, ”Really can you tell us about them.”

Ryuu nodded as he began to speak, ”Cultivators who have a bounty on their heads are exceptional, as they are very dangerous, most cultivators who receive their first bounty are mostly Celestials, but sometimes certain individuals are extremely powerful and as such earn bounty even before they have managed to reach the Celestial Realm.”, he paused for a bit before he continued, ”These cultivators are so powerful and dangerous that even Celestials have died in their hands.”

A gasp of shock, as well as the cry of fear, passed through their group as they descended into shouting match only for Ryuu to stop them by flaring a bit of his aura and killing intent as he bellowed at them, ”Silence and focus on running.”

Zywia herself was pale as she was shaken at what she had heard, she knew that a few cultivators had a bounty on their name but she was not unaware of the finer details about bounty.

The group once again focused on escaping as Ryuu continued to speak, ”I do not know how many of them are there that have a bounty on their heads but I saw at least three that I recognize.”

”Devil Empress Ithrura aka 'The Serpent Queen', the bounty of Five Low Grade Deva Crystal Dead or Alive, Devil Emperor Zikris, the bounty of five Low Grade Deva Crystal Dead or Alive, and finally Devil Emperor Jerthrar aka 'The Corpse General' with a bounty of twenty Low Grade Deva Crystals, each of them are exceptionally talented as well as dangerous enemies you should be wary off and never engage alone, in fact never engage under any situation.”

Everyone sucked their breath upon hearing that, many amongst them would have been tempted but the thought of facing such strong cultivators who were backed up by such a large army made them not only nervous but a filled them with worry about their uncertain future.

”Daoist brother Ryuu if I may ask can you please elaborate how strong they are.”

Hearing that Ryuu let out a sigh as he replied to Devaraj, ”Jerthrar is known to successfully assassinate a Level 2 Celestial, destroying a large part of the army under the Celestial's command as well as escaping from a Mid level Celestial.”

”He is dangerous.”

Upon hearing Devaraj's words Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, ”He is extremely dangerous as you can deduce from his title, he employs corpse puppets so be careful.”

Devaraj simply rubbed his forehead in exasperation as he spoke with a frown, ”I hate puppeteers who use corpse.”

Ryuu nodded wholeheartedly at that supporting Devaraj's words as he spoke, ”Me too brother me too.”

”But now we should find a place to hide from them and no matter what do not get caught.”

”Why is that Ryuu?”

Ryuu frowned as he replied to Frozen Ocean, ”When those wretched cultivators stepped inside this level they were not alone.”

Frost Flames eyes widen as she spoke, ”Not alone, do you mean that the Deva realm had joined with them?”

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, ”No, I saw them in chains being dragged in crawling on the ground, they..…”, Ryuu bit his lips as he spoke with a tired look on his face, ”Whatever you do, do not get caught dying would be better than such humiliation.”

The more he spoke the more the morale of the group plummeted and many began to regret stepping into the sixth Level.

Ryuu gritted his teeth at that, 'Damn it I need some way to increase the morale of my group, that Jerthrar was sending someone by the name of Kemec after us and from the looks of it, that person is an idiot, if we play our cards right we can defeat Kemec's group and that might increase the morale, otherwise, they will quit.'
