In truth, it was not a change in temperature, but pressure released purely through spiritual power. That chilling aura cast a layer of white over this world of shimmering dark-red light—a white formed entirely from congealed, icy killing intent.
The man's austere face held a pair of aqua-blue eyes. There was not the slightest flicker of life in them, only menace and coldness. He stared coldly at Lie Yan as though looking at a lamb awaiting slaughter.
"I am Xiu Puruosi, God of Slaughter, an enforcer serving under the Divine Realm's Asura God of Law Enforcement. Accursed creature, surrender at once and return with me to the Divine Realm to await the Committee's judgment."
Lie Yan slowly drifted backward through the air, fear plainly showing in her eyes. "Greetings, Lord Xiu Puruosi. May I ask what crime I have committed for you to take me back to the Divine Realm?"
Lie Yan had been a god for a long time and knew something of the Divine Realm's affairs. When she heard him announce his identity, her heart sank to rock bottom. She had initially held on to a little hope: if an ordinary god had come, she might still have a chance. But when she heard that he was the God of Slaughter, every last hope of a lucky escape vanished.
Xiu Puruosi, the God of Slaughter, was the strongest warrior and foremost killer under the Asura God. Although he possessed the strength of a Second-Level God, just like her, his innate slaughter attribute countered nearly every god. Furthermore, with the Asura God backing him, he could speak on equal terms even with some chief gods. Lie Yan had never imagined that the Divine Realm would take her so seriously as to send this God of Slaughter himself.
