Chapter 2976 Broken Phoenix

Chapter 2976 Broken Phoenix

In the chamber of cessation, there was the figure of a naked man huddled in a corner. He held his head, occasionally murmuring something. One could see that parts of his body were missing but kept regenerating because of his innate vitality.

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

Abruptly, he disappeared from that corner, appearing elsewhere.

"Nooo!!!"

He didn't see what was going on before he screamed out loud and tried to run away on all fours.

""

There was a purple-robed man beside watching him with cold eyes.

It was none other than Davis.

It had been two more days since he started torturing Patriarch Killian Zenflame by butchering him alive and cooking his flesh, even forcing him to eat it.

There wasn't an ounce of pity in his eyes as he looked at the broken Fire Phoenix pitifully crawling away. However, he didn't recognize this person to be Patriarch Killian Zenflame anymore.

This utterly scared bird in front of him didn't even have the courage to turn into a Fire Phoenix, all because when he did, he knew he would be even ruthlessly manhandled and butchered.

With that being the case, Davis lost deriving pleasure from continuing the torture as well. However, he didn't want to end Patriarch Killian Zenflame's life either, as he felt that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d needed to experience more cruelty.

But with Patriarch Killian Zenflame having lost his mind and willpower, was it worth it to waste his time on him anymore? He wished that he could deliver this r.e.t.a.r.d to s.h.i.+rley to allow her to do as she sees fit and get rid of the abhorrence in her heart as he couldn't bear to see her cheery face turned all vengeful. However, he imagined that if she saw Patriarch Killian Zenflame like this, even she would lose her interest in tormenting him.

'She saw through that part of him even before I started torturing him'

s.h.i.+rley stomached a belly full of hatred, but once she heard Patriarch Killian Zenflame's ramblings, she knew all too well that it wasn't worth taking revenge on him anymore as he wasn't the same person who hunted them.

'Too weak!'

Davis glared at Patriarch Killian Zenflame and wondered how this r.e.t.a.r.d became a Patriarch. But the next moment, he shook his head, knowing that he himself was the madman for being able to endure too much pain.

Enduring physical pain was his forte. His mental fort.i.tude was also high as he could withstand soul pain too, but he knew mental fort.i.tude when it came to his women wasn't his forte. Their existence, opinions, and way of living shaped his life. He couldn't imagine losing them, but that was also why he stomached immense hatred against this crawling r.e.t.a.r.d in front of him, unable to let go and end it once and for all.

He wanted Patriarch Killian Zenflame to beg and scream in utter pain, making him regret his very existence.

"Is isn't this enough?"

Looking at Patriarch Killian Zenflame huddling in a corner again, the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit couldn't help but appear and utter in a low voice.

Davis was woken out of his reverie. He turned to glance at her with cold eyes before returning his gaze.

Although he knew that the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit didn't take Patriarch Killian Zenflame's side during the tens of rounds of butchering, flaying, and cooking, he knew she was soft-hearted. Her asking him if this was enough was only justified. After all, Davis was aware that if there was a bystander around, he would probably look like a punisher from the underworld or a demon to them.

He had tortured Patriarch Killian Zenflame beyond his willpower could endure. His Enigmatic Heart Laws could attest to that as he knew he was utterly broken.

However, no matter who thought what of him, he intended to deliver Patriarch Killian Zenflame and his cronies a world of hurt.

"You said you wanted him to experience a respectable death?"

"Yes. You have vented your hatred, so let's end just end this gruesome vendetta. A public execution would be better, and hopefully, you can use that to pin the wrongdoings of the Fire Phoenix Clan and impose fair punishments rather than slaughtering them all."

Davis's lips couldn't help but curl as he heard the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit.

She was giving a way out for both parties, but he shook his head, knowing that it wouldn't work.

"In case you didn't know, I'm no longer listening to reason, so it's useless for me to do these things. Besides, do you think the true mastermind, the so-called Ancestor Reselius, would stop?"

"I don't care what happens to him, as he's always been a stain on the Fire Phoenix Clan. He should've stayed dead, but life isn't fair, just as it is for those like you. If you are truly one of my inheritor's husband, then you also have a responsibility to display the qualities of a phoenix groom, which is being magnanimous and understanding."

""

Davis turned speechless. He couldn't tell if this artifact spirit was naive or realistic as she did agree that what happened to him was their fault but still claimed that they were the victim, all while enjoying the benefits for unknown millenniums.

Besides, did she think he was a child for her to be telling him to display certain qualities when it benefits them?

"We'll see" He didn't provide much explanation and ended the conversation by looking away.

The Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit was too kind and cooperative for him to be bas.h.i.+ng out on her. Moreover, the more he saw the miserable figure of the Fire Phoenix Patriarch, the more he knew he should keep his calm and calculative mindset under all circ.u.mstances, as he couldn't afford to make a mistake at this point.

"That's it. I'm ending his life."

"But you said you would give him a respectful death..." The Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit interrupted, appearing in front of him.

Davis didn't seem unamused but nodded, "I did, and I would as long as you're an obedient spirit that doesn't betray."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"No, do you think I'm going to make you two be with me or s.h.i.+rley when you can be traced back?"

"I'm a sealing treasure. I can make myself untraceable."

Argued the Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit while Davis blinked as he pointed at the Fire Phoenix Patriarch.

"While he is still in here?"

" No He's the Patriarch." The Nine-Phoenix Locking Relic's artifact spirit blushed ever so lightly, "His soul essence is highly traceable because he occupies the topmost spot of the Bloodline Chamber of the Fire Phoenix Clan that I figure that even my karmic defenses wouldn't help here"

"See?"

Davis shrugged. He wanted Patriarch Killian Zenflame to be still alive as he wanted to make him feel true regret, regret for having targeted s.h.i.+rley and scheming with many others to kill his allies. However, he felt that if he exited the Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace and walked out of the Karmic Void Zone, then his location might be quickly found out.

He felt that even his Nine-Treasured Immortal Ordeal Palace was incapable of stopping such a powerful tracing mechanism implemented on Patriarch Killian Zenflame. The mechanism itself was no secret as he heard of a few cases where Young Patriarchs had been kidnapped and demanded ransom by famous bandits only to have their hideout raided and destroyed.

Kidnapping was useless, so he couldn't keep Patriarch Killian Zenflame either, ultimately forcing him to put an end to this matter by killing him.

"Are you willing to face the consequences?"

But suddenly, a voice appeared in Davis's head, causing him to purse his lips.

"Yes."

"I'm not asking about you. You brave death all the time, so I know you are capable of handling the consequences. However, what about your people? Your allies? Can you be with them all the time? Ensure that they are protected?"
