Chapter 3957  Buyers Meet

Master Taiwu couldn't understand heads or tails. For what reason was the black-robed woman there? To steal? Why would a supreme genius steal? He couldn't understand.

However, his expression increasingly turned unsightly as his avatar was now being bullied.

"You dare not answer me?"

Mingzhi raised her hand and waved.

A luminous force gathered under the whim of her palm and hung before her like a radiant veil. Its luminosity was so dense that that it was like a dull star, its light blinding but at the same time exuded an oppressive glow. It descended and encompassed Master Taiwu, causing his eyes to widen.

"…!" He reacted but sank like a fish that had entered a swirling current.

*Trcck!~*

The pressure the twilight released crushed his transcendent energy, which was about to surge and further bent his bones until they were deformed and popping like thunderclaps. He was now entirely in folds, squeezed until the utmost limit humanely possible.

"W-What… is… this!?"

He growled, not knowing what kind of law this supreme genius was using, but it made him all the more terrified as he couldn't retaliate the slightest bit against her.

It was as though time had stopped for him, although he knew that was true since his main body could walk freely. The strange feeling he felt couldn't be described. He really thought the world was held in stasis, bound between two opposing forces that refused to yield- no, seemingly integrated.

'This power… is she- has she neared the power of an Autarch…?' His gaze flickered with fear severely.

He greatly feared her background. Was this one of those legendary stories where a supreme genius from a Greater Realm was bored and decided to visit the Lower Realms to have fun?

Left with no choice, he opened his mouth and revealed every detail about the two black-robed men. He didn't know much anyway since money was all he wanted. However, under the heavy pressure, he forgot all about his son and prioritized saving his own life.

To that end, he brought the two visitors down, hoping that they could make the scene more balanced and to his favor so he could come out unscathed.

When his main body appeared in the scene along with the other two men, Mingzhi stopped suppressing him.

However, instead of looking at Mingzhi, the two men turned to look at Davis, their eyes visibly widening.

"…"

Davis narrowed his brows. Their reaction to him was as though they recognized his true identity.

"How coincidental."

"Indeed, brother. This is too coincidental, so much so I need to check we aren't in an illusion."

The feminine man chuckled in an amused manner before the composed man did something to come out of the illusion but realized this wasn't an illusion at all.

"Great, you two know each other? Then, you can talk it out and decide who is going to buy the auction item."

Master Taiwu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were acquainted already— or so he thought when suddenly he heard their voices again.

"No, we're retracting our bid."

"We no longer have a use for her."

"What? Why?" Master Taiwu looked back, but he sank to the ground for some reason. A dull sound echoed as he hit the ground.

Blinking, he looked to the side and saw his body fall.

"…!" Suddenly, an intense surge of pain struck his soul. When he realized what was going on, he felt that his neck got severed.

"Wha!?"

Master Taiwu experienced panic and shock to the highest degree in his life. He was a Level One Autarch who could fight two levels higher! Being a genius and having spent so much wealth on himself for the period of four hundred thousand years, he was proud to possess such a battle prowess but his neck got slashed in an instant and severed.

He didn't even see it coming, causing his face to turn ashen.

His silver hair was then grabbed and lifted up into the air by the pale, feminine-looking man.

"Divine Emperor of Death, if you had said you were here, we wouldn't have taken any steps to buy the rabbit. We were only looking forward to meeting you since it was said this rabbit here was someone you freed and was searching for you frantically, so we hoped by releasing her, we could meet again and have a nice discussion above a table."

"…!"

Master Taiwu felt severe pain, but his soul suddenly forgot all that and experienced severe panic as he looked at the black-robed man he was being forced to see.

Suddenly, everything made sense!

He should've known that if anyone was to come looking for the rabbit, it would be the Divine Emperor of Death, but greed clouded his eyes. This also meant that the black-robed woman may not be a true supreme genius and just a Divergent.

He knew he was played like a fiddle, and all that rage gathered in his soul, causing him to scream indignantly and surge with strength.

However, it was to no avail. From his severed head to the toe, it seemed to have all been corrupted by strange darkness energy, disallowing him to even manually take control of his fleshly body from the outside. As for his fleshly avatar, that refused to move from fear- no, that power that woman unleashed still remained in the avatar as though it was an illusion.

He still couldn't understand what kind of power she used, but it was almost as if it had fried his senses.

"Who are you two?" Davis still had his brows narrowed.

The two men had unleashed a bit of their undulation, making him aware that they were two Level Seven Autarchs. Their prowess was also not ordinary, especially because of how they seamlessly concealed it.

"Excuse us." The composed man cupped his hands, bowing slightly in respect, "We are two of the four Dark Apostles of the Heavenly Blight Hall, Halbren and Hallen, also known as the cursed duo, but I doubt anyone knows our title anymore since we killed them all back then."

"…"

Master Taiwu's Will finally collapsed.

Done… he was done.

The Heavenly Blight Hall was thorough with concealing their tracks since they hid from Heaven's Warriors for a long time. He didn't think he would survive this ordeal, making his expression become deadpan.
