Assassination System

Chapter 239 Absolute Difference in Realms

All five of them stalled in mid-air. Each and everyone of them wore solemn and pensive expressions on their faces. Zieve and Juliet felt suffocated and gasped for air. Their faces turned pale and sorrowful.


Flicking his wrist at the two, Dan enveloped them in his aura and their faces regained redness and color. Staring back at Danilo Duterte's direction, he and his wives couldn't help but tremble in mid-air. Particularly, Dan and Natalie who thought of the events back at that day where the Emperor and the Headmaster engaged on showdown.


Under the might of a Divine Ascendance Realm cultivator that could tear and collapse spaces with their bare hands. Resisting was a wishful thinking. Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Dan and Natalie hurriedly turned at Grace as the former shouted.


"Quick, combine our cultivations together and resist!" The three of them instantly ignited their cultivation bases to the utmost limit as the skies dimmed and the Earth trembled. Cultivators at the Divine Soul Realm had transcended their mortal roots and stepped on the threshold of the Divine way.


With a will, they could slice mountains in two and drain the boundless ocean of its water. That's how powerful they were. And paired with the fact that three cultivators at that realm combined their strength together, the effects were unimaginable.


Black clouds rolled overhead and thunder rumbled as lightning wildly danced within the clouds. The air turned murky and Zieve along with Juliet couldn't stop their bodies from trembling. Although it wasn't the first time that they felt such absolute power, they didn't expect that a human with enough cultivation could possibly possess such strength.


"T-T-This power... This is like what I felt from your Dagger Intent..." Zieve whispered towards Juliet who snuggled into his chest out of fear. Juliet raised her head and nodded her head.


"Yes, this power definitely resembles the Dagger Intent's Heavenly Law. Thought it is weaker, it's the same concept... To think that Papa and Mama could emit such terrifying might..." Juliet couldn't hold back her shock and excitement from showing within her tone. She was happy that her parents were that powerful.


"Three Divine Soul Cultivators at the Initial Stage... How dare you stand in the way of someone that has thoroughly trascended the limits!" Danilo roared out loud and boundless power that denied all resistance swept from his body and surged towards the direction of the five.


[Warning: Power at the Peak of Divine Ascendance Realm has been detected!]


[Chances of surviving: .10%!


[Suggestion: Get the fuck away and run for your life!]


Blaring red warning signs along with a mechanical voice that announced the Assassination System's evaluation about Danilo's attack reverberated inside Dan's mind. Gnashing his teeth, he made a sidelong glance at his daughter and decided.


No matter what happens, he couldn't possibly abandon them! They were his family!


"More, faster! Use everything that you have to resist!" Dan madly howled, Natalie and Grace placed everything that they had to form a transparent three-meter barrier. Repeatedly reinforcing it with their might, not even cultivators at the same realm could possibly destroy such a barrier.


But it was different in the case for their enemy today. After all, Danilo Duterte, the Emperor of the Empire of Eternal Faith wasn't someone that could be underestimated. His cultivation alone was at the peak Divine Ascendance Realm and along with the Artifacts that he had, that amplified his might. Even Dan couldn't imagine his strength!


Danilo's attack that looked as powerful as the ocean and as endless as the rivers appeared in the form of an intangible wave that threatened to swallow them whole! Gnashing his teeth, all three of them bit the tip of their tongue and spat a mouthful of blood essence into their barrier which immediately turned crimson.


Bang!


A defeaning roar reverberated along with pain-filled groans. Dan who resisted the brunt of the attack spat a mouthful of blood. His shoulder blades were torn off yet he kept on resisting the attack that battered their barrier!


Natalie and Grace that stood behind and acted as cushion for Dan weren't well-off either! All two of them spat huge mouthfuls of blood as their faces turned pale from over-exertion. Natalie sprained both of her ankles while Grace tore a ligament at her knee.


"Fuck off!" Dan madly howled and Lightning surged from his body as he forcefully slapped Danilo's attack to the side. The intangible wave diverted its course and landed on the buidlings as another deafening roar reverberated in the skies!


Huffing and puffing, Dan glanced at his two wives and anger rushed to his eyes when he saw their miserable appearances. Fortunately, his daughter wasn't injured or else Dan wouldn't know what he would do.


"Zieve, Juliet... The two of you should go away as far as you can. Remember, do not fight back, just rush to the direction of the Core Disciples Region..." Dan instructed and handed over a Spatial Ring filled with Talismans and Artifacts.


"Use everything inside that Spatial Ring to survive. Remember, Zieve... You must protect my daughter at all costs..." Dan tapped Zieve's shoulder and passed on the responsibility of Juliet's safety to him as the latter nodded his head. From the time that he felt the aura of the Imperial Clan. Zieve understood that everything didn't go as smoothly as planned.


Clenching his fists, he placed Juliet into a tight embrace, "Yes, Juliet saved me so it is time for me to repay my debt... No matter what happens, even if I die, I'll ensure her safety..." Zieve declared.


Natalie and Grace sweetly smiled upon witnessing Zieve's conviction. Dan glanced at him for a moment but merely shrugged and coldly snorted. Despite his display of coldness, he couldn't help but put Zieve at a higher place in his mind.


Juliet raised her head when she heard Zieve's declaration. Her heart madly thumped and her cheeks blushed crimson. It was the first time that she felt such an ethereal sensation so she tried her hardest to suppress the beating of her heart. Burying herself deeper into Zieve's embrace, Juliet hid her crimson cheeks.


"Incredible... To think that someone from the Divine Soul Realm could suppress the attack of someone like me who is at the Peak of the Divine Ascendance Realm..." Danilo's voice rang like a ghost and when they turned their heads to look at his direction. They were startled to find him standing there right in front of their eyes.


Danilo's eyes sparkled with curiosity and fascination akin to a child that discovered a new toy. Lifting his hand, Danilo placed his middle and thumb finger together as Dan hurriedly activated dozens of Heaven Grade Defensive Artifacts with his will.


Danilo flicked at their direction and the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth bent to his will, forming a concentrated beam of light that included the laws of nature within it. As a response, Dan swiftly acted and ignited dozens of Defensive Artifacts as defense.


Flick~


Bang!


Dozens of Defensive Artifacts collapsed like glasses as Dan stood at the front and crossed his arms into an X. Activating the Third Stance of the Blessing of the Lightning God, Ascension. Scales formed on his arms that cushioned the impact of Danilo's attack.


"Guah!"


Dan spat a huge mouthful of blood and flew for several hundreds of meters away like a kite that lost its strings. Crashing towards the ground, his condition unknown. Natalie and Grace's expressions paled. In these past two months, Dan obtained the most benefits and became stronger than them yet a single flick of Danilo's fingers severely injured him. It was clear that they couldn't possibly survive a single attack from Danilo.


"Damn it all!" Zieve exclaimed and rotated his cultivation base. Stomping in the air, he dashed at the opposite direction as Natalie and Grace prepared for Danilo's intervention. But to their shock, the old man did nothing but glance at Juliet who started her escape.


"Are you not going after her?" Natalie with a trembling voice in an effort to stall for time. Danilo stared at her for a moment and said, "It wouldn't matter, after all, I'm not the only one here. I have my subordinates and I trust that they could capture them alive..." He lightly smiled with confidence and swept his gaze at Grace.


"Your aura is quite strange, not only it contains the domineering might of Lightning it also contains the frosty hint of Ice... Do you perhaps possess some kind of a unique physique?" Danilo amiably smiled at Grace, his expression turned gentle like a neighboring old man would act.


Grace bit her lower lip and never replied. Danilo merely shrugged towards her display of defiance and unresponsiveness.


"It doesn't really matter, the two of you are such great cultivation furnaces... I'll find more about your secrets when I capture you two..." Danilo licked his lips as Natalie and Grace cringed. Gnashing their teeth, Natalie and Grace rotated their cultivation bases as Lightning crackled around their body.


But before they could even activate their Stances. Danilo tapped on their foreheads and directly sealed their acupoints, preventing the circulation of Spiritual Energy as their figures that lost the support of Spiritual Energy descended from the skies towards the ground.


Lifting a conceited smile that disdained everything under the heavens. Danilo swept like an eagle towards Natalie and Grace. Stretching his hand out, he prepared to embrace them as a deafening roar of hatred and fury assaulted his ears.


"Hands off them, you perverted old bastard!" Thunder rumbled and Lightning flashed as Dan instantly appeared before his wives. Taking them into an embrace, he hurled a Flash Grenade at Danilo while simultaneously flying towards the opposite direction.


Danilo's eyes flashed with amusement towards Dan's desperate actions. His figure looked carefree and leisurely as he floated there while staring at his prey's fleeing figures. Towards the item that Dan hurled at him, upon noticing that it didn't contain any traces of Spiritual Energy, he just disregarded it and thought of it as Dan's laughable distraction attempt.


"What a farce... Go on and escape, escape as far as you can... There's no way that I'll let the criminal that killed my direct descendant live under the same skies as mine..." Danilo blurted out and shrugged. Moving his body, a blinding flash of light along with an explosion that harshly invaded his ears reverberated.


The flash of light robbed his eyesight while the explosion disoriented his sense of direction.


"What the hell?! What the hell just happened?!" Danilo panicked and started flailing around in mid-air like a fly that lost its head. Glancing behind him, Dan snickered and flew as fast as he could towards the direction of Zieve that desperately ran away from the pursuit of the Golden-Clawed Guards.


"Conceited brat! How dare you play tricks in front of this Sovereign!" Danilo madly howled like a dog that lost its mind. His cultivation base rotated to the maximum the space around his body, collapsed. Forcing open a Spatial Tear, he leaped into it and arrived beside Dan whose eyes widened in astonishment and horror.


"Just how did you..." He mumbled as Danilo clenched his fist and directly punched at his torso. Wind whistled and space collapsed. Dan found himself stuck in the middle of the collapsed spaces' suction force and couldn't even move an inch. Rotating his cultivation base, Dan summoned all the might that he could and turned his back towards Danilo's punch so that his wives wouldn't be struck by the latter's attack.


Puchi!


Bang!


Dan felt his bones crack from within his body as his torso curved in weird angle. Intense and sharp pain coursed throughout his body that he almost lost his consciousness from shock. Biting the tip of his tongue, he made sure that he wouldn't lose his consciousness until he guaranteed his wives' safety.


Bang!


Crashing on the ground, Dan endured the impact, his eyes rolled into his skull as mouthfuls after mouthfuls of blood flew like an arrow from his mouth. Despite all of this, Dan made sure that he wouldn't lose consciousness as his body crashed and stopped on a building's pillar.


Sweeping his gaze on his wives, Dan inwardly sighed when he saw that apart from some scratches and superficial injuries, they didn't suffer anything more than that. Lifting his head to stare at the distance. He found Danilo staring at him in disdain as Dan engraved the old bastard's face within his mind and heart.


Someday when he had enough strength, he would definitely make sure that the Imperial Clan would be wiped out from the face of the Earth!


"Really, I applaud your determination and tenacity to protect your wives... If I was in your place, I would also do the same. After all, they are all so beautiful and their physiques are also incredibly rare... Sadly, but in the end, strength is what matters in this world. Without strength to protect their loved ones and belongings, surviving isn't possible..."


Space shifted and Danilo reappeared before Dan. Looking down at the latter, Danilo wore a slight smile on his face.


"At the least, I'll grant you a honorable death, dying under the hands of the Emperor and the prized treasure of the Empire, that isn't such a bad death..." Danilo unsheathed his sword and raised it towards the skies.


Dan didn't reply to his words. He merely sat there and lightly smiled, it was as if he was a martyr that faced his execution. Knitting his eyebrows, Danilo felt disturbed and as soon as he brought his sword down. A roar of hatred and anger reverberated right into his ears.


"You despicable old geezer! How dare you attack a member of the junior generation!" A ball of fire engulfed Danilo's figure followed by the appearance of a might composed from the superimposition of cultivation bases.


Mathias along with his subordinates appeared in mid-air. Staring down at Danilo, their eyes reflected fierceness and resentment that desired for his death!
