Killing Emmanuel, Dili's Worry

"That Five-Colored Blood Crystal, the Four Divine Beasts Clan wants it. Hand it over."

Emmanuel raised his eyelids and spoke to Ninisha, his tone devoid of the slightest concern.

Unlike Wurnisen, Emmanuel did not recognize Ninisha. After all, Ninisha had only been famous in Hell for less than a million years; people on the Zijing Continent knew her, but outsiders from the Bloodridge Continent like Emmanuel would not know her unless they had specifically paid attention.

Naturally, Emmanuel had no intention of inquiring about the other party's identity. After all, in Emmanuel's view, any existence that he and the Four Divine Beasts Clan could not afford to provoke would not appear here.

If he hadn't been worried that the other party might have a divine clone elsewhere, making it impossible to open her interspatial ring, Emmanuel would have already taken action. At the very least, in Emmanuel's view, someone who would snatch such an item was at most a Six-Star Fiend.

"I'm sorry, Elder Emmanuel, I cannot give this item to you."

Ninisha frowned slightly, then spoke in a flat tone, rejecting Emmanuel's demand.

Ninisha had already promised Dili, so she was naturally unwilling to give away something she had already obtained. Moreover, Emmanuel's attitude made Ninisha very uncomfortable. Although he was from a Sovereign clan, a Seven-Star Fiend elder ordering her, a Shura-level powerhouse, to hand over an item was something Ninisha was unwilling to accept.

As for whether this would offend the Four Divine Beasts Clan, Ninisha was not worried. At the very least, in her view, even if the Four Divine Beasts Clan was powerful and overbearing, they would not make an enemy of a Shura over such a trivial matter.

"You, what did you say?"

Hearing Ninisha's words, Emmanuel's eyes widened instantly, and he almost doubted he had heard correctly. He could not remember how many years it had been since someone had refused him, and he instantly felt a surge of anger welling up in his heart.

"Good, very good! It has been many years since anyone dared to humiliate me like this! Since that's the case, go to hell!"

A murderous glint flashed in Emmanuel's eyes. His right hand moved slightly, and the divine power within his body surged. An ice-blue sword shadow condensed instantly and flew toward Ninisha.

"Bang!"

Ninisha frowned, not expecting Emmanuel to take action immediately without a word. A flash of purple light crossed her eyes, and two translucent beams shot out instantly, turning into electric light that swallowed the blue sword shadow.

"Hm? You!"

Emmanuel's expression changed slightly. He put away some of his contempt and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ninisha.

Although his previous attack was not his full strength, it was not something an ordinary Six-Star Fiend could block. The purple-haired woman before him being able to block it easily meant she was clearly a Seven-Star Fiend, and her strength might not even be weaker than his own.

"Elder Emmanuel, aren't you being a bit too overbearing?"

Ninisha's voice became much colder. Regarding Emmanuel's attitude, Ninisha felt a sense of absurdity. He was just a Seven-Star Fiend elder, yet he was even more arrogant than Leisijing, the son of the Zijing Sovereign.

Although Ninisha had been in Hell for two million years, she had only heard rumors about the Four Divine Beasts Clan. She did not have a profound understanding of how overbearing they were, nor did she know how unreasonable the Four Divine Beasts Clan could be.

Therefore, when Emmanuel made his unreasonable demand, she thought for a moment and chose to refuse. Firstly, it was because she had already promised Dili and did not want to break her word.

Secondly, she felt that her attitude had been quite polite. As a Shura-level powerhouse and a Sovereign's envoy, she figured an elder of the Four Divine Beasts Clan would not turn hostile over such a small matter.

However, the next moment, Emmanuel's actions made Ninisha's eyes narrow.

"So you are a Seven-Star Fiend. But even if you are a Seven-Star Fiend, my Four Divine Beasts Clan is not someone you can provoke!"

Emmanuel's expression turned even gloomier. He directly interrupted Ninisha's words, his body instantly undergoing dragon transformation. Cyan dragon scales covered his entire body, and at the same time, a drop of cyan liquid within his body was triggered.

"Boom~~"

In an instant, Emmanuel's aura changed. His already terrifying presence surged violently, his body wrapped in a layer of cyan halo, and the violent Sovereign's power of the water element circulated frantically.

In Emmanuel's view, he represented the Four Divine Beasts Clan. A mere Seven-Star Fiend dared to refuse him, so she could go to hell. As for whether he could kill her, with the large amount of Sovereign's power bestowed upon him by the clan, he could briefly contend even with an ordinary Shura, so he naturally had no worries.

"He's actually using Sovereign's power directly?"

A flash of confusion crossed Ninisha's eyes. She did not quite understand Emmanuel's train of thought. How was she provoking the Four Divine Beasts Clan in his eyes? Were all people from the Four Divine Beasts Clan like this?

However, immediately after, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Ninisha's purple pupils. Even the best-tempered person would not have a pleasant expression when meeting someone who wanted to kill them again and again.

"Die!"

Emmanuel's figure vanished instantly. A cyan dragon claw phantom, bolstered by the Sovereign's power, descended from high above toward Ninisha's head. The surrounding space emitted bursts of roaring sounds before slowly shattering.

"Hmph!"

Ninisha let out a cold snort. She flipped her right hand, and a long spear exuding the aura of lightning appeared. She merely raised it slightly, and purple electric light flickered.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a massive collision sound, Emmanuel was sent flying like a streak of light. The dragon scales on his body were shattered, and red blood dripped continuously.

"How is this possible? This, this is... a Sovereign artifact?"

Emmanuel's face turned deathly pale in an instant. The look he gave Ninisha was filled with horror. He could never have imagined that Ninisha was a powerhouse who possessed a Sovereign artifact.

One had to know that any existence in the divine planes who possessed a Sovereign artifact was, without exception, a Shura-level powerhouse. Even if the clan leader Gaislesen came, he might not necessarily be able to win against such a level of existence. He had actually taken action against a Shura who possessed a Sovereign artifact?

"Elder Emmanuel, let's end this here."

Ninisha gripped the spear, a coldness flashing in her eyes, and then she spoke in a low voice.

"Your Excellency, I have offended you today. Please, for the sake of my Four Divine Beasts Clan, spare my life."

Emmanuel's expression shifted constantly. He suppressed the anger and murderous intent in his eyes and, dragging his bleeding dragon claw, secretly sent a sound transmission.

At this moment, Emmanuel truly felt the threat of death. He no longer cared about clan honor or the insult of offending the clan; he just wanted to save his strongest divine clone first. But the next moment, Kedun, who was behind him, almost made him vomit blood.

"You wretch, you actually dare to take action against an elder of the Four Divine Beasts Clan! How bold! I will definitely report this to the clan leader; the clan will absolutely not let you go! Elder Emmanuel, for the honor of the clan, fight her to the death!"

Standing behind Emmanuel, Kedun's eyes widened instantly, filled with undisguised murderous intent. While shouting at Emmanuel, he recklessly charged toward Ninisha.

"Is that so? In that case, all of you, go to hell!"

Ninisha coldly swept her gaze over Emmanuel and Kedun. The spear in her hand vibrated slightly, emitting a thunder-like roar. Then, a golden streak of light emerged, transforming into an electric snake that charged toward the two of them.

"No, no, no! You can't kill me. If you kill me, the Patriarch will never let you off..."

Emmanuel's words came to an abrupt halt mid-sentence. Within the ocean of golden lightning, the two of them were reduced to dust, slowly dissipating into the heavens and earth.

"This, this..."

Wurnisen and the others standing nearby were completely dumbfounded. They never imagined that they would witness the fall of a Seven-Star Fiend elder from the Four Divine Beasts Clan with their own eyes, and for a moment, they felt a chill run through their hearts.

"Swish!"

On the horizon, a streak of blue light quickly transformed, and Dili's figure solidified. Sensing the fluctuations of Sovereign's Might from just a moment ago, she couldn't help but frown.

"Ninisha, who were you fighting just now? Did the opponent have Sovereign's Might?"

Dili asked with some confusion. The fluctuations of Water-style Sovereign's Might remained in the air, and since Ninisha did not possess any Sovereign's Might, Dili deduced that it must have been the opponent who used it.

"That's right. Emmanuel of the Four Divine Beasts Clan tried to seize the Five-Colored Blood Crystal, so I killed him."

Ninisha slowly put away her Sovereign artifact spear and spoke indifferently.

"What did you say? You killed Emmanuel?"

Dili's voice suddenly rose several octaves, and she even felt the world go black before her eyes.
