Chapter 673: Pretending To Be Weak To Eat Tiger (Part 2)

Erod displayed a sinister smile, his gaze towards Kenny Lin as cold as a venomous snake’s.

"Don’t worry, now that we know who he is, there’s no reason to let him go."

"I want him to suffer a fate worse than death!" Orzoth said through gritted teeth, his face twisted with malice.

"Rest assured," Erod said, extending his crimson tongue to lick his lips with ill intent, "There’s no way he’ll die so easily. If I don’t flay him alive, I won’t be called Erod."

Kenny Lin’s eyes widened, his face gradually turning pale, and his body started to tremble slightly, giving the impression that he was terrified.

Trying to appear calm, he spat out fierce words, "So what? We will not only kill your elders but also kill you and wipe out all the devils!"

Idiot, putting on airs at a time like this, without the strength to back it up.

Ajit Wan scowled.

He had initially hoped this person could save him, but now he seriously needed to think about how to escape.

Seeing that the devils’ attention was all on Kenny Lin, he discreetly retreated, preparing to find an opportunity to flee.

Although the spiritual pool was incredibly valuable, he wouldn’t risk his life for it.

If he stayed alive, he could seek revenge and reclaim the spiritual pool in the future.

"Still talking tough at the brink of death? Let’s see if your mouth can still spout words later," Erod sneered.

"Senior Brother Wan, let’s fight together. The two of us combined might not be their match," Kenny Lin immediately said to Ajit Wan.

Erod and the others couldn’t help but look towards Ajit Wan.

Ajit Wan nearly cursed out loud.

He was almost at a spot where he could escape, and now this person was calling out to him, drawing the devil’s attention his way.

Could this be intentional?

Ajit Wan couldn’t help but speculate, thinking it was highly likely.

"Trying to escape? None of you are leaving today!"

Erod noticed Ajit Wan’s subtle movements and immediately knew what he was planning, revealing a sinister smile.

Ajit Wan’s face turned ashen.

Hardened with resolve, he decided to make a break for it.

He was in a perfect position; before anyone could react, he turned around and fled, throwing a final remark to Kenny Lin, "If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you. But don’t worry, if you die, I’ll tell others you died while trying to save me!"

His speed was impressive, like a gust of wind, using all his recovered spiritual energy to escape.

"You two, go after him! Don’t let him get away!" Erod immediately ordered the two devils beside Orzoth.

If this person escaped and spread the news about their discovery of the spiritual pool, they would face numerous hunters in the next twenty-odd days since the Double Cavern Secret Realm had just opened.

The two devils immediately gave chase.

The severely injured Ajit Wan was already like a fish in a barrel; even one pursuer would be enough to handle him.

However, to be safe, Erod sent both devils after him.

"Senior Brother Wan, how can you abandon me? I fought them to save you..."

Ajit Wan had already vanished from sight, along with the two devils that were chasing him.

Kenny Lin continued shouting, his face displaying perfect shock and anger.

"Stop shouting. He’s already gone. He can barely protect himself, so how could he join you in fighting us? A Green Lotus Sect sword cultivator, so naive. Looks like we can kill a few more this time."

Erod’s smile grew more sinister.

Kenny Lin gritted his teeth, his face turned pale.

Despite his obvious fear, he stubbornly stood firm.

Below, Amalia shivered.

This guy was really into his act.

In a moment of carelessness, her hand slipped, lightly bumping the edge of the spiritual pool and making a faint noise.

"Who’s there?" Erod’s sharp ears caught the sound instantly.

He turned his head towards the source of the noise, his eyes flashing with a sharp gleam.

In that direction, apart from the spiritual pool and the corpse of the Black Star Beast, there was nothing else.

Yet Erod felt something was off.

"Erod, the spiritual pool, the spiritual pool..." Orzoth suddenly wore a horrified expression, staring at the pool and stammering.

"The spiritual pool, how..."

Erod suddenly stopped, his pupils dilating as he finally realized what was wrong.

The water level in the spiritual pool had dropped.

What was once a full pool had decreased by at least half a meter.

Erod glanced at Kenny Lin’s astonished expression, his own face darkening.

"We’ve been tricked. He does have accomplices!"

Orzoth’s face changed drastically as he shouted, "How can that be? If he had an accomplice, we would have noticed!"

They had suspected this before, but when their opponent was close to defeat, no one else appeared, so they thought they were overthinking it.

Realizing they’d been discovered, Amalia stopped hiding her presence and stepped out from behind the Black Star Beast’s corpse, walking over to Kenny Lin.

This action undoubtedly confirmed that they were indeed in cahoots.

Seeing her, Erod’s eyes flickered, and he felt a slight sense of relief.

The reason was simple: this human cultivator was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

If she were at the mid or late stage, they would have been in real trouble.

"So, this is your backup? An early-stage Golden Core cultivator?"

Erod sneered at Kenny Lin, his eyes full of mockery.

"Analia is very powerful. Don’t underestimate her," Kenny Lin immediately defended.

"Amalia?" Erod smirked evilly, "Then I must see if she’s really that formidable. The spiritual pool’s water level dropped because of you, right?"

His gaze turned cold as he looked at Amalia.

Amalia raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything. If you dare take something from me, I’ll make you spit it out even if you have to crawl," Erod said, his brows furrowing with a sinister intensity.
