Chapter 172 Doub
"Are you for real? He managed to fight and kill the Ferocious Vulture's kins all by himself?" Su Huabing asked with a dumbfounded experience on her face.
She wore a red-coloured robe and had a veil on her face but her eyes were the same as Su Hualing's. She had short velvet-coloured hair that reached till her neck, unlike her first sister who had waist-length hair.
She is Su Hualing's second sister, while the other one is the third sister.
Su Hualing seriously nodded her head, causing them to blink their eyes in doubt. She could see that they didn't quite believe her.
"I see..." Daniuis held his chin and nodded. He then stepped forward and said, "Ling'er, with his Soul Cultivation being higher than yours, it is natural that you can't see through his disguise."
Davis narrowed his eyes as he uttered, "I'm a human..."
Daniuis glanced at Lily's body and uttered, "And he killed a member of our Cloud Spring Mercenaries..."
"Weren't you going to kill her too?" Davis asked with a calm face.
Daniuis replied while he started to emit a faint pressure, "That is different. I am the leader of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, and in one way, I have the authority to decide her life and death."
"Are you implying that I have to join your Cloud Spring Mercenaries?" Davis gritted his teeth as slightly lowered his knees, unable to withstand even the slightest of pressure that Daniuis radiated.
"Not necessarily, we don't even know your true form. Besides, Lily asked me to kill her, not you..."
His legs were trembling, but he still had a calm expression on his face, "Oh, so you won't believe that I'm a human? Then what exactly do you want, Cloud Spring Mercenaries Leader, Daniuis?"
"I want you to withstand a single strike from me! If you do, you're free to leave or join my Cloud Spring Mercenary!" Daniuis stopped emitting pressure on him.
Davis widened his eyes, unable to keep a calm expression anymore, "Are you kidding me? You want me to die? I can't even withstand your pressure..." He knew he would be killed if Daniuis even casually attacked him.
All he understood was that the other party was likely stronger than a Low-Level Sixth Stage Cultivator!
"Of course, I'll be using my Soul Cultivation!" Daniuis
"Husband! You can't do this!" Su Hualing stood in front of Davis and blocked her husband.
"Then I'll gladly take up on your offer, Mercenary Leader Daniuis..." Davis smiled.
He had the confidence to defend a soul attack from the other party. After all, the soul was the hardest to cultivate. He knew there shouldn't be too much disparity between their Soul Cultivation, but he didn't dare to probe either.
"Good!! Stand aside Ling'er!" Daniuis said and flicked his hands.
Su Hualing looked worriedly at Davis, only to see him nodding his head with a smile.
To this woman who saved him from the clutches of death, he was grateful and didn't want to cause her any trouble.
"Wait!" Davis shouted.
Daniuis looked at him, "What?"
"Give me a few minutes. My soul is injured and I have to recover it, or your attack might leave me retarded for all we know..."
Daniuis narrowed his eyes, "... Alright."
Su Hualing shook her head as she moved aside, "I'm telling you, he's definitely a human child!" She sent a soul transmission to Daniuis.
"I'm just making sure..." Came back a reply, causing her to relax.
In the few minutes he got, he pretended to swallow a pill but instead, refined the Peak-Level Young Soul Stage he absorbed from Lily.
From the looks of it, he guessed that Lily had been giving equal attention to all her cultivation systems.
Soon, he healed his soul from the refinement and stood before Daniuis.
"Davis, withstand my attack!" Daniuis uttered as he made a hand gesture and pointed at him.
Daniuis shouted, "Variable Feather Thrust!"
A silvery glowing feather formed before his finger before it silently floated. It then moved slowly towards him.
Davis's expression changed, 'Not good!'
He could feel the enormous amount of soul force contained in that feather and now he could deduce his opponent's Soul Cultivation level.
Daniuis had reached the Low-Level Elder Soul Stage, the Fifth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation.
Davis whispered and a glowing light surrounded him, "Sacred Soul Shield..."
The silvery glowing feather approached the barrier and suddenly enlarged, causing his pupils to dilate.
*Boom!*
A large explosion echoed out, causing Daniuis to have a dumbfounded expression on his face as he uttered, "Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage?"
He wanted to stop but it was already too late.
Daniuis sensed his Soul Cultivation level when he cast the soul barrier and couldn't believe his senses.
Last time, he vaguely felt Davis's soul force fluctuate when Davis killed Lily, but couldn't deduce his Soul Cultivation when he probed. So he was half sure that Davis was an old expert disguising as a human child to do something, but now it didn't seem like the case.
Even though Su Hualing had already told about his Soul Cultivation level, he just couldn't understand how Davis managed to hide his Soul Cultivation from him as he was almost a major realm above, leading to his current suspicions.
The silvery light which engulfed Davis disappeared and an unharmed glowing figure appeared in everyone's sight.
Davis smiled as a proud grin could be seen on his face, "I successfully withstood your strike..."
The Sacred Soul Shield shrank until it was only a few centimetres apart from his body, and the result was its defensive prowess increased to a tremendous degree.
With that, he was able to successfully withstand the soul attack from the other party without getting harmed.
Daniuis smiled as he watched his move get blocked but inside he was quite shocked by the fact that a human child of this age could block his attack.
Since Davis had revealed his Soul Cultivation, Daniuis could at least confirm that he hadn't disguised his race and age.
Now that he had confirmed that Davis was a kid, he confidently believed that a junior couldn't possibly put a disguise in front of his cultivation level.
"Since you have successfully withstood my attack, you are either free to leave or join us." Daniuis calmly uttered, his tone was more like a command.
Su Hualing came forward and smiled, not at all surprised by his strength, unlike her other two sisters who had their mouths wide open in shock.
