Divine Emperor of Death

Baize spat a mouthful of blood into the air right at the moment of impact because the battle platform was made up of King Grade materials. Even when they fought, it failed to put a single dent on the white battle platform, although it was scorched black by the flames.

Evelynn descended right by Baize's side and smiled like how she smiled at the start. It was a beautiful yet poisonous smile that made people feel a chill in their backs.

"You bitch! What did you do!?" Baize violently growled as blood leaked from his mouth. The fall did do a number on him as his internal organs were shaken from a collision with the martial platform made up of king grade materials. 

It wasn't something he could endure as the hardness of the king grade materials were even stronger than his own body.

"For real?" Evelynn was in disbelief, "You still don't recognize that you have been poisoned?" 

She became taken aback while looking at Baize as if she were looking at him like how she would look at a fool. She remembered that the poisonous technique she used wasn't this concealed. Even though she had used this self-made, concealed poisonous technique, it was very sloppy, and still detectable once it entered the body.

To think that her opponent didn't even realize it? 

"What!?" Baize growled in shock.

It just wasn't him, but most of the people in the audience and even Elder Towerfall echoed their disbelief.

Elder Towerfall's expression changed before he shouted at Evelynn, "Insolent! How dare you secretly poison a core disciple of the Towering Cloud Hall!?"

"This isn't appropriate, right?" Even Elder Enye couldn't stomach being deviously poisoned like this...

She looked at the Conferred Queen as if requiring an answer.

"The battle will continue!" Princess Isabella gave her an answer with an indifferent expression.

Right now, looking at Evelynn's battle, she felt the anger that she stomached inside, fade. Initially, she had belittled Evelynn when it came to battles, but with this, she knew that she had improvised her opinion of her. She had advised Davis to let them grow, but it looks like Evelynn had already grown up and became an expert.

Some people possessed powerful cultivation yet would get assassinated by a weak assassin. Such people can't be called experts as they have no sense of danger, and now, Princess Isabella had to admit that Evelynn was no longer a chick, she was a fledgling expert.

Her style was ruthless as hers.

"This is cheating and doesn't conform to the rules!" Elder Enye retorted back coldly.

"That's right!"

"They are cheating!"

Numerous echoes of agreement came from the audience.

Looking at them wag their tails like a dog, Davis coldly smiled, "Since when did the use of one's own prowess became cheating?"

"One's own prowess?" Elder Towerfall and Elder Enye narrowed their eyes before they shot a look towards Evelynn in shock.

Evelynn, who stayed silent all this time while receiving gazes of disdain, scorn, disgust, and other creepy looks, lifted up her face as her undulations of Law Manifestation Stage spread around the martial platform.

Green-violet essence energy revolved around her, and combined with her martial energy that flared like an earth dragon, she looked as if she was covered by an azure coiling dragon that made her seem infinitely mature as her green hair hovered in the air.

Elder Towerfall's expression increasingly became ugly. Her poisonous aura was plain for all to see!

Even her cultivation is at Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage and Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage! Training in two cultivation systems at the same time and managing to keep it almost equal despite being lesser than a hundred years old...

'She's a genius, definitely better than a core disciple level talent!!' He inwardly yelled.

He had initially thought that this woman used a stupid tactic such as poisoning using external means to defeat an opponent who was weaker than her but who would've thought that she trained in Poison Laws.

This resulted in him becoming unable to accuse of her cheating. The onlookers also echoed and relaxed as if they understood. However, they didn't seem to be apologizing that they had wronged and blamed Evelynn.

'If only she trained in the arts of Ice Laws...' Elder Enye inwardly sighed.

She could tell that this woman was no weaker than the core disciples who are in the range within a hundred years of age. She wanted to pull her into the Falling Snow Sect and waited to check what kind of Laws she trained in. If it were Water Laws or Ice Laws, she would've tried to recruit, but she trained in Poison Laws.

She frowned nevertheless, "Are you from the mid-sized Poison Lord Villa Territory?"

Evelynn furrowed her brows. What does that have to do with her? But she also remembered that the cultivation manual she used shouldn't be recognizable by someone from these Territories.

"Is it a fact that all poison cultivators are from Poison Lord Villa Territory?" She asked.

"No..." Elder Enye furrowed her brows.

"Is a poison cultivator barred from competitions?"

"..." Elder Enye paused but answered the next moment, "No..."

"Then what does my origin have to do with you or this battle?" Evelynn audaciously asked.

Elder Enye's expression became icy.

A female junior dares to talk like this to her? It had been a long time since she experienced such audacity from a status-less female junior outside the Falling Snow Sect.

First, it was Alchemist Davis, then it was Conferred Queen Isabella, but she had the status to belittle her. On the other hand, Alchemist Davis and neither his wife possessed something that makes them look down on her.

Looking at Evelynn stand tall like a Queen coiled by an azure dragon while questioning Elder Enye as if she was her subject, Davis couldn't help but feel a bit of disbelief. He blinked, wondering if this was his same clumsy first wife.

'When did she learn to posture?' He ruefully but proudly shook his head. 

The trip to the Sunset Tear Mountain had certainly changed her intrinsically and made her lay down her inhibitions about using poison against humans, and combined with the experience she had gained, she became a force to reckon with!

Poison cultivators usually possessed a weak body, but Evelynn had the endurance of a dragon and can poison people to death! He even felt the shivers when thinking about her prowess that would become a great deterrent, but then he was also equally excited to witness her growth to the peak.

She was his first woman and the woman who possessed a special place in his heart. He was immensely glad that she was able to grow alongside him. 

Looking at her easily incapacitate Baize with a slap and a mere infusion of a little bit of concealed poison, he nodded with satisfaction. This was how poisoning should be done! It was clean and done without a hassle but just a single slap!

However, he was also in doubt of how Baize didn't detect the poison once it entered his body. Could it be that he was too stupid and became enraged enough to not care about his own body at that time?

Evelynn didn't bother with those two elders anymore and looked at Baize, who was still unable to stand no matter how he tried. Looking at him suffer like a beggar, she finally spoke as she raised her right palm in a slapping motion.

Looking at Evelynn raise her hand against him, Baize flinched as he felt his cheek burn again from both shame and humiliation, but he was unable to stand up. Heck, he was unable to move his body other than his head!
