"Where are you bandits leaving? Care to have some fun?"
Davis stretched out his hand as though he was going to take out something.
However, Katherine abruptly pounced to the front, her black-robed figure flashing into a quadrupedal immortal beast that was thirty meters long in length and proportionally taller for a lion, but its massive tail that was fifty meters long trembled in mid-air, creating a tremendous force within as it swung and struck the Golden Vajra Rhinoceros.
*Bang!~*
The rhinoceros was hit square in its face, causing its golden-crystal horn to shatter and it's head to cave in.
*Roar!~*
It gave a cry of pain as it crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater that shook the mountain, and along with it, the burly man was also sent flying from the incredible force as he crashed into a tree, spitting a mouthful of blood as he turned unconscious.
The Golden Vajra Rhinoceros's crystal horn that boasted immense durability was practically nothing in front of Katherine's tail.
"Run!~"
Someone screamed, causing the bandits to fly swiftly in all directions.
It caused Katherine's aura to flare, making the bandits feel their scalps turn numb, their foreheads starting to perspire heavily as they came to understand that this immortal beast was a King-Tier Immortal Beast!
Indeed, Katherine appeared extremely noble as runes adorned her armored lion body. Her long reddish-copper tail had nine segments and seemed like steel weights wrapped around her in a conical shape, gently started trembling before they shook as though causing gravity to emerge from the denseness of the force held within.
But at this moment, Fiora twisted her body like a snake, her hands flailing in an elegant manner.
*Rippp!~*
It was unknown what she did, but the next second, the six bandits who fled all fell like kites that had their strings cut, except they all split into two without a doubt and couldn't even fly away with half their bodies as though their souls seemed to be destroyed as well.
"Hsss~"
Vereina sucked in a cold whiff of air as she stared at Fiora, who was at her side. Just now, she had seen something like a crescent blade, but it was windy as a normal breeze, unable to be seen or focused upon. What's more... did she just sense heavenly might within it?
"Wait a minute... is everyone at Level Nine Immortal Stage except me...?" Vereina blinked.
"Not in soul."
"Me neither."
Fiora waved her hand, and Mingzhi shrugged, but on the other hand, Katherine turned to smile at them with her ferocious yet cute big lion face.
"I haven't mastered essence to that stage yet."
"Both immortal vessels are at Level Nine Immortal Stage." Schleya enunciated, remaining composed throughout this situation, that she didn't even take out her two blades to deal with anyone.
Instead, needles formed from blood had formed around her and shot at the targets, completely snuffing out the life from them before she started refining the Golden Vajra Rhinoceros's body with her blood arts, gathering its blood essence.
Davis watched her actions but didn't say anything and turned to look at Vereina.
"Don't worry. I'll give you company as I'm still at Level Seven Immortal Stage and Level Eight Immortal Soul Stage."
"Aya~ I'm thinking of how to escape from you. Who wants your company?"
She took a few steps back, appearing scared, but at this moment, Davis couldn't help but blink.
The soul essences that floated out of the dead bandits and the immortal beast were right now floating in the air, making him want to gather them out of habit. However, he noticed that they were tugged by some other influence, floating towards their group before they gathered around Vereina, whereupon she acted like she was hiding her face but, in truth, was absorbing those soul essences through her forehead.
He could not see properly but imagined that these soul essences were absorbed through the yintang meridian point like it was for him.
If he remembered correctly, she did indeed say that she had a unique soul physique called the Violent Punitive Soul Physique, which was the reason for her being a Divergent.
"It's not like I'm going to steal them from you, so slow down, you greedy woman."
"...!"
Vereina jumped in shock as she almost failed to absorb those soul essences into her soul sea, looking at Davis with an incredulous gaze.
"You... you can sense them...?"
Vereina didn't know how many times she was shocked in the short time she was with them, but his calm expression combined with his composed attitude had her heart beating a few notches higher as she felt scared. It was as though he could see through everything about her, leaving her feeling insecure.
"Perhaps." Davis lightly smiled.
"..."
Vereina still stared at Davis with an incredulous gaze. A few moments later, she sighed when suddenly a violet light flared from her forehead. Instantly, the soul essences that were yet to be absorbed were violently tugged and pulled into her soul sea through the yintang meridian point, causing Mingzhi and the others to look at her with curiosity.
What she was doing, she no longer tried to hide it.
Soon, the violet light faded, and she turned to look at Davis, "Teach me how to refine soul essences more efficiently. I know you can do it too. Otherwise, your quick growth in soul cultivation doesn't make sense."
"Indeed." Davis didn't seem to hide that fact, "I have a secret technique for it. However, why should I teach you?"
"I..." Vereina became stumped.
She thought about what she could offer. Her treasures? She knew they were worth nothing in front of him. Then what could she give?
Biting her lips, she wondered if he was asking for her body.
"That's right. Let me have a look at your soul physique, and I'll teach you my secret technique. Otherwise, just forget about it."
Davis knowingly smiled at Vereina, causing her to remain at a loss as she didn't know what to say as it was different from what she expected, but peeking into her soul, that was another hurdle that she couldn't easily let happen.
