Chapter 3449 Laying Waste To The Northern Sphere Bandits
"Destroy them."
A brown-haired youngster reached out with his hand and commanded. His sharp brows were like swords, and he possessed a chiseled nose that accentuated his handsome looks. Clad in a purple robe, he appeared quite regal but looked gaudy with his pretentious smirk.
He had the design of a red scythe etched on his purple robe, indicating his rank.
"Yes!"
Resounded a group of seventeen purple-robed people who stood in the air, maintaining a perfect amount of distance from each other as they appeared to be in a battle formation. They consisted of men and women, but they all had the design of a pitch-black sickle on their purple robes that indicated that they all had the same rank except the two at the center.
They had the symbol of a white scythe imprinted on their robes.
As their booming voices fell and spread across the region, light energy brimmed from their bodies and flooded the area. However, the light energy was most concentrated around them, appearing to shape into a hexagonal nexus.
Then, the energy gathered was concentrated at four points in the hexagonal nexus, gathering before four of the seventeen purple-robed people before they waved their hands, causing light to be unleashed as four beams pierced through the skies and struck a few structures, causing them all to be disintegrated in a few seconds.
Peak-Level Immortal King undulations reverberated in the atmosphere, but the prowess of each of those light rays was as powerful as a Level Three Immortal Emperor, causing utter chaos in this region.
"Escape!"
Many people escaped for their lives.
They were clad in ragged clothes, but they weren't innocent at all.
They were bandits who plundered, pillaged, and did atrocious things to anyone who was unfortunate enough to appear in their path. They would lie in wait and pounce on unsuspecting people or merchants, anyone who may seem like an easy target, and do as they please with them.
These bandits belonged to the Northern Sphere Bandits. They lorded over the region with utter arrogance, plundering all who dared to take their path as it was a way to many other regions. Other than the major powers they steered clear of, for the most part, they dared to take advantage of anyone.
Even Mid-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Powers have been robbed clean by them,
But today, such arrogant and devious bandits were fleeing for their lives with fear visible on their faces. They have been attacked by major powers, only if at all they caused some mess, but it was never to a point where they were hunted down until every one of them was being cleaned up like they were trash.
Just as one of them made it to the other side of the mountain and jumped into a valley, a ray of light descended and struck them, causing a hold to form on their dantian.
Their immortal vessel was wiped.
At the same time, the light energy that inflicted a grave wound began to grow on them like poison before it engulfed their entire being, causing them to be burned alive. Their screams didn't even reach their throat before their lives were snuffed out like flames.
*Shi~* *Shi~* *Shi~*
Thousands of light spears fell on the fleeing bandits, piercing them and burning them, managing to kill hundreds and thousands of bandits in a few hours.
"Don't leave anyone alive. Kill them all~"
A green-haired woman clad in a purple robe waved her hand.
Like the brown-haired man, this woman also had a red scythe emblem on her purple robe, indicating her rank. Her face was expressionless, but one could see the excitement seething out of her eyes as she gave that command.
It was as though she loved bestowing righteous punishments on the bandits below her.
"Starlily, I've sent every one of them to you. Make sure to take care of them."
An earring over her left ear rumbled and released a transmission into her ears, allowing her to hear the voice of a man.
"No one asked for your help, Legion Captain Lightsky."
"Aiya, don't be like that. I-"
"Now, if you'll excuse me."
He also knew this wasn't even their best formation as the Legion Captains themselves had yet to take part in it, not that they had any place to enter as the nodes were limited and could only eject the Vice Captains, but still, he knew they wouldn't enter this formation as their individual prowess might alone have reached this formation's level or even more.
If they ended up joining with their divisions in a formation, then he could tell that their prowess might entirely burst into the Mid Immortal Emperor Stage!
Davis was appreciative of his Reaper Soul Legion, never ceasing to strive forward even though he hadn't bothered with them much, imagining that this was all or mostly Yotan's work.
"Where is Threelotus- Hmm? What is this item?"
Davis was about to ask the general direction in which Threelotus headed to capture the Northern Sphere Bandit Emperor even though he was somewhat certain as he could follow the trace, but then suddenly noticed Legion Captain Starlily's earring, which was shaped like a yin jade stone.
It was different than anything he had seen, causing him to raise his hand and touch it.
"..."
Legion Captain Starlily froze as Davis's hand was inches away from her face.
"This is a messaging talisman? Did the Reaper Soul Legion ever commission this item? Why didn't I hear about this matter? Where does it connect to- oh..."
"Where does it connect to- oh..."
Davis asked as he activated the jade stone, but his voice could be heard from Legion Captain Lightsky's ring. It even seemed to be on his ring finger, causing Davis to blink as he put his hand down and glanced at Legion Captain Starlily.
"I thought you became a spy."
"Never!"
Legion Captain Starlily clenched her fists despite lowering her head, appearing suspicious, but Davis knew what was happening.
"My apologies. I hadn't been interacting with you all and was selfishly depending on Yotan, so this item seemed extremely suspicious at a glance."
"No, it's my fault for not reporting the usage of this item. I'll break it."
Legion Captain Starlily raised her hands and tried to remove the earring from her left ear, but Davis waved his hand.
"Forget it. I don't want to incur Lightsky's wrath by having you destroy his courting gift. Instead, you can tell me in which direction Threelotus left."
"..."
Legion Captain Lightsky felt his face burn, but he could only remain silent, not daring to speak out. Legion Captain Starlily also blushed as she recognized that the Legion Master seemed to have found out.
She trembled ever so lightly and pointed in the direction Davis's flying boat proceeded, causing Davis to nod.
"Thought so."
He disappeared, appearing to have dispersed his soul body.
"..."
Legion Captain Starlily's trembling only rose in magnitude before she pointed at the other captain.
"Lightsky, I hate you!"
"What did I do...?"
Legion Captain Lightsky scratched his head as he watched her leave to another area to hunt the fleeing bandits, not knowing if he embarrassed her in front of the Legion Master or if she had feelings for the Legion Master and he ruined her chances, making his expression turn somber.
It wasn't anything new that more than half the women in the Reaper Soul Legion fantasized about getting together with the Emperor of Death, and the Emperor of Death himself was a womanizer, so romance here, although not forbidden, was quite risky as the Emperor of Death could just say for them to come to his bed and most likely more than half of them wouldn't resist but might even gladly leap at the chance to warm his bed.
Although he had never heard of Starlily having such feelings for the Emperor of Death, he recalled the scene of him almost touching her face when he grabbed his gift, causing him to grit his teeth in unsurety and command his division to continue slaughtering the bandits much more fiercely than before.
