Chapter 1526: First Blood? (1/2)

Davis looked at Sophie's stance against her opponent. Not deadly but ruthless enough to cast a humiliating wound against Brim Hisler. His lips curved, grinning as he knew that this was an overwhelming victory for his girl.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim was also deeply shocked. This kind of power... how did Sophie manage to attain it?

He didn't quite remember her being this powerful!

Casting a glance at Davis, he knew this was his work.

Previously, he didn't say anything to Davis's ambiguous statement of both belonging to the Alstreim Family but not being a part of it. Instead, he even acknowledged with a nod to that statement because when Davis needed to escape, the Alstreim Family could just say that he did not belong to them, playing word games with the Dragon Families.

How would they dare touch the Alstreim Family then?

Maybe they would inflict injury, but further than that, they wouldn't dare try anything as long as the Four Great Righteous Sects looked after them.

Davis's words were as silly as they could sound, but with each word, he could feel that there was an underlying intent that always carved the path forward to his next action.

Now, he could see that he wasn't merely playing with his women. He was actually strengthening them as much as he got stronger. He already knew he loved his women, but to concentrate on all of them?

He certainly didn't think it was possible, at least not for him, who only loved one woman in his life. However, this made him find a newfound respect for Davis.

'This brat... He's aiming for something more difficult than conquering the Fifty-Two Territories...'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim could only ruefully shake his head but he didn't dislike this kind of unpopular ambition. He only hoped that it didn't let him down.

”You... What kind of trickery is this?”

Top Disciple Brim Hisler hissed in pain, his eyes trembling in the realization of defeat and the humiliation of it.

”Trickery?” Sophie's melodious voice was frigid, ”Trying to falsely frame me after losing the battle? Unfortunately for you, everyone witnessed that I defeated you fair and square. The flaming glaive that I conjured was through my own essence energy, enough to both break your weapon and burn your body into cinders.”

”How could it be possible!?”

He screamed in reluctance while Sophie narrowed her brows.

”How miserable! Can't you see the glaive I'm holding?”

The glaive dispersed before she waved her hand and summoned the glaive again instantaneously, pointing it at him.

Almost everyone became wide-eyed at her actions.

Despite Brim Hisler being on the ground, he still had his Impeccable Domain active that suppressed Sophie Alstreim's meridians which would make her unable to conjure most of her energy out of her body as it would scramble her meridians.

However, she acted as if it didn't have much of an effect on her as she quickly conjured a flaming glaive, making them dumbfounded again.

Just who was this woman!? Was the Alstreim Family hiding such a gem in secrecy!?

”Did you see?” Sophie coldly continued, ”It was not through some talisman or other treasures I've never heard of, much less illusions. Now, accept defeat, or I will stab you for the insulting words you let out of your mouth. However, don't worry, you won't die. Instead, I'll take my time stabbing you until you scream for mercy.”

She removed her flaming glaive away from him as she took a few steps back, looking at him with a wide yet icy smile on her face.

In truth, she was completely pissed off with that comment that insulted not only her family but also her man. She felt that the kick to his face and splitting his left shoulder wasn't enough to let him know her anger.

Brim Hisler's black pupils trembled in rage and disbelief. His hands trembled while he tried to summon a weapon into his hands, but he felt like he had no winning chance as he had never suffered defeat like this, not even to other top disciples of the same level.

He was about to stand up, but then he abruptly saw the coldness seeping into her eyes, making him experience a sudden chill.

'This woman... she's trying to humiliate me more...'

As soon as this thought entered his head, his muscles relaxed, his expression appeared already defeated, both mentally and physically.

He had already sat up at this moment, holding his shoulder as his light energy began to heal his wounds.

Sophie stood there, just allowing it to happen as it wasn't her concern, but then he found out that he couldn't heal his burn injuries as quickly and as much as he thought he could!

His lips quivered as he looked at the ground.

”I... I admit defeat.”

Sophie's expression froze.

Only after hearing this piece was she able to come out of her cruel intent to burn him more.
