Chapter 1552 - Two Assassins?
Ancestor Dian Alstreim’s eyes turned wide as he belatedly noticed the existence of a black-robed man near Davis. His scalp turned numb as he stood up, wanting to defend Davis from this sudden appearance of an assassin.
However, the swing of the black-robed man’s arm was extremely fast, something a Law Dominion Stage brat or even a Martial Sage Expert would be unable to defend against at such a close range when caught off-guard.
How could he make it in time?
Intense regret welled up within him. It was over! He failed to protect Davis.
At the same time, the black-robed man evilly grinned as his palm made it to Davis’s cheeks.
However, after the black-robed man completed the swing, there was no sound of a slap, much less an impact that he felt on his palm. Instead, a searing pain erupted in his left shoulder.
When he saw what had happened with a slight swivel of his head, he saw something incredulous.
"My... my arm...!? Hck- Arghh!!!!"
However, he quickly brought it under control and turned to look at Davis before finding his severed arm below him, beneath his shoes, stepped and desecrated.
An intense feeling of humiliation crept into his mind.
Nevertheless, time was ticking, and losing an arm was nothing. He understood that he could not remain even a few seconds longer and rushed forward to attack. His poisonous undulations spread rampantly, trying to harm the people in the Grand Wedding Hall.
But at the same time, Ancestor Dian Alstreim appeared in front of Davis, and Sect Master Bing Luli erected an ice barrier that instantly encroached the area they were in, sealing the poisonous Law Rune Stage undulations from leaving while pushing away and obstructing the other cultivators to safety outside.
The Dragon Families appeared stunned, unable to take any action.
Just when every powerhouse who made it in time thought that it was over for this assassin, another black-robed man who was masked suddenly appeared beside Isabella from nowhere as he seemed to reach out his hand to her.
"...!?"
Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Sect Master Bing Luli’s panicked as they saw this scene from the corner of their eyes. Ancestor Tirea Snow, who had followed them one step later, had just arrived, but she was still far from reaching Isabella as he was approaching Davis to protect his women!
They didn’t expect another one to appear out of nowhere!
*Bang!~*
Blood spurted out in all directions as it plunged to the floor. The black-robed man’s whole body instantly exploded, causing their eyes to widen in incredulity!
’Devil Bane...!?’
Blood Thorn, the only remaining aggressor, looked at the exploding body of Devil Bane in shock.
What the hell did happen? However, he still focused on Evelynn Loret, trying to fake capture Davis to capture her from Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Sect Master Bing Luli’s blockade.
"Tch~"
But before he could even react and near them, a sound of annoyance echoed.
Seems like that without its poisonous energy to support the blood, it was extremely toxic, even to the user. Nevertheless, this matter made him feel as if though Davis was hiding his strength, but it didn’t matter at the moment. He was more shocked by the fact that Dragon Queen Isabella has attained such strength when still in Martial Sage Stage. However, that wasn’t important at the moment too because...
Thorus Zlatan’s expression increasingly trembled as he tried to think of some method to slay Blood Thorn. He couldn’t help but recall what he spoke with Blood Thorn moments ago before they made a move.
[
"Ahahaha! This is funny! Extremely hilarious!"
A soul transmission echoed in Thorus Zlatan’s mind.
"The Dragon Families actually sent four of their elites to kidnap Dragon Queen Isabella. How devious! How deplorable!"
Thorus Zlatan’s eyes widened. He searched with his physical sense in the crowd and spotted a black-robed man. However, he didn’t shout but sent a soul transmission to him.
"Who are you?"
Who would dare to threaten him, the Dragon Families like this?
It was none other than Devil Bane and Blood Thorn, but Thorus Zlatan still didn’t know their identities.
"Who I am isn’t important." Blood Thorn spoke, "What’s important is that you gain back those spatial rings of your elites. After all, it was leaked, then your life is practically over while your power’s reputation would practically be dragged to the gutter."
"I don’t know what you are talking about?"
"Hehe, no need to fret." Blood Thorn chuckled, "We’ll let you obtain those spatial rings if you allow us to capture our target named Evelynn Loret, who is that hateful subordinate’s wife."
"Davis’s first wife...?"
Thorus Zlatan’s eyes instantly lit up as he glanced at Davis and the woman who sat close beside him. She was like a sponge, sticking her voluptuous body towards him, but he could see the brat talking with her even while Isabella sat beside him, telling him how he cared about her.
A sinister thought appeared in his mind before his expression turned into a smirk.
"Go ahead... I will not interfere and will not allow the others to interfere. However, you must get those spatial rings from Isabella. It doesn’t seem like she will need her primary spatial ring either. Steal it for me but if you dare harm her, know that I will hunt you down to the ends of the Territory Fog even if I have to die in the process..."
He didn’t ask why they needed Evelynn, for he only needed those spatial rings.
"Rest assured, for it is a done deal. Moreover, I’m glad to have someone who understands. Ahahaha!" Blood Thorn laughed before he reassured, "Then again, Overlord Thorus Zlatan doesn’t have to worry about Dragon Queen Isabella’s safety because I’m not foolish enough to offend the Dragon Families..."
"Hmph! You know your place...!"
"Yes, yes. I know very well..."
Thorus Zlatan sounded pleased while Blood Thorn deviously smiled behind his mask.

Thorus Zlatan clenched his fists as he remembered that short conversation which now ended up in a disaster unexpectedly. What appeared to be an easy task became easily thwarted by two unknown factors as if it was almost a miracle.
Nevertheless, there was only one thing he concentrated on now.
He absolutely must not let the captured Blood Thorn leak anything that would warrant him to be found guilty!
