"Erod, these two are Green Lotus Sect cultivators. We must kill them and not let them escape!"
Orzoth’s eyes were bloodshot, his expression equally vicious and ruthless.
Kenny Lin’s scalp tingled with fear.
He whispered to Amalia, "We’re in trouble. These two devils are not weak. We might not be their match. I’ll hold them off while you escape."
Amalia glanced at him, "You should really lower your voice. It’s not very loud, but it’s not quiet either. Unless these two devils are deaf, they still can hear you."
He really was taking his acting too far.
Sure enough, the two devils grinned triumphantly, unaware they were being played.
"Amalia, go quickly!"
Kenny Lin immediately started pushing Amalia.
Amalia gave him a look, signaling him to stop.
Kenny Lin ignored her, continuing to push her away.
"None of you are leaving," Erod and Orzoth, growing impatient.
They charged at them and surrounded them in an instant.
Erod’s aura was extremely concentrated, and his blade swung down from above.
Orzoth blocked their escape route on the left, his eyes were fixed on them, "Die!"
This strike harnessed all of Erod’s power, which nearly reached his strongest ultimate move.
The farce had ended, everything that needed to be said had been said, and everything that needed to be explained had been explained.
There was no longer any need for these two cultivators from the Green Lotus Sect to remain.
The blade light that was shot toward the sky contained an extremely powerful aura.
Even if you are wearing top-grade armor, being struck by it would leave you severely injured even if you are not dead.
Amalia was being pushed by Kenny Lin, and before she could react, she was thinking of kicking him away.
Just then, his sword appeared in his left hand with a clang, clashing with the blade and creating intense sparks.
The force created by the clash of the two powers also dispersed the surrounding thick fog, forming a vacuum area centered around the four of them.
Erod saw Kenny Lin blocking his strike, and although a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he wasn’t shocked.
Blocking his attack could still be a matter of luck.
"Erod, kill him!" Unaware of the situation, Orzoth thought Erod was holding back, the same as when he was toying with Ajit Wan before.
Erod didn’t explain.
In his view, Kenny Lin and Amalia were as good as dead.
After the first strike failed, he launched a second one.
He gathered the surrounding spiritual energy to enhance his blade light.
Amalia observed and roughly understood Erod’s true strength.
Though the blade was formidable and could easily kill an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator, it would be challenging if the opponent had top-grade armor.
In short, this devil named Erod was quite strong, but not enough to be considered an extraordinary genius, just an ordinary one.
"Stop playing around. If Ajit Wan escapes, he’ll likely bring reinforcements soon. We don’t have much time," Amalia said to Kenny Lin.
Kenny Lin hadn’t reacted yet when Erod heard this and felt his heart skip a beat.
A sense of foreboding spread through him.
Could it be that this guy named Tangy Taffy had been pretending to be foolish all along?
But how would that benefit him?
While Erod was lost in his thoughts, Kenny Lin spoke up, "I’m not playing; I’m serious. You should run. If I die, don’t forget to bring Senior Brother Chang and the others to avenge me."
These words were like a reassurance to Erod.
So, they were talking about escaping.
Of course, how could this guy have been hiding his strength all this time?
Erod had overthought it.
The blade light instantly slashed down, seemingly tearing through the void.
A sharp beam of light shot up from below, colliding with Erod’s blade light.
The blade light only held for two seconds before a subtle crackling sound came from the intense light, and then the blade light was shattered.
The sword beam flew towards Erod without any pause.
Erod, completely caught off guard, could only utter a single "No" before the sword light struck him.
As the sword light pierced through his body, time seemed to stand still.
Erod’s body remained motionless in mid-air, his eyes fixed on Kenny Lin, the blood pouring out like a fountain from the bloody hole in his chest.
"How could this..."
Before he could finish the sentence, blood gushed from his mouth, and his body fell from the sky.
"Erod!" Orzoth reacted, realizing Erod had been hit by the sword.
The entire process took less than a few seconds.
Erod was dead, his lifeless body crashing to the ground without a trace of breath, and even his primordial spirit failed to escape.
Orzoth looked sharply at Amalia and Kenny Lin, utterly terrified.
These damn cultivators from the Green Lotus Sect—they had been pretending all along.
That dreadful sword light was just like the one that had pierced his grandfather’s body years ago, sharp and invincible, unstoppable.
The most crucial issue was that the fiercest sword energy of these Green Lotus Sect sword cultivators was almost the nemesis of their devils.
Their sword energy didn’t just break through their defenses and bodies.
Once the sword energy entered the body, it would rampage, shattering their primordial spirits and preventing them from escaping or possessing another body.
This was why the Green Lotus Sect cultivators were so feared by devils.
If Orzoth had known that this guy was one of the most formidable sword cultivators from the Green Lotus Sect, they would never have confronted him head-on.
The Green Lotus Sect’s sword cultivators were almost invincible against devils of the same rank.
"A tiger doesn’t show its might, and you think I’m a sick cat," Kenny Lin said, his face turned pale as if using that sword strike had left him very weak.
Amalia couldn’t stand it anymore and slapped the back of his head.
Kenny Lin instinctively dodged, and Amalia missed the hit.
Orzoth’s fear peaked, and he didn’t even dare to collect Erod’s body.
He turned around and fled swiftly.
