Chapter 861: The Devil’s Trap

This couldn’t continue. If they kept running aimlessly, it was only a matter of time before the powerful devil lords behind them caught up.

Suddenly, Amalia tapped Kenny Lin on the shoulder, pointing in a certain direction. "Head that way."

"There’s a lot of powerful demonic beast aura there." Despite his words, Kenny Lin’s body faithfully followed her suggestion.

"I remember the sect leader once said that demonic beasts can detect the scent of Heavenly Dew. Strong demonic beasts might resist it, but weaker ones would go mad," Amalia explained.

"You want to lure the demonic beasts here?" Kenny Lin immediately grasped her plan.

"It would be best if we could get the scent of the Heavenly Dew onto the devil," she added. But the devil in question was a lord-level devil, making it difficult for them to get close enough.

Kenny Lin smiled and said, "Naturally, this kind of task is mine to handle, as long as it’s not a Grand Lord-level devil."

"Be careful, and wait for my signal," Amalia replied. She had no other option, otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted Kenny Lin to take such a risk. A Lord-level devil was no simple foe.

At the edge of the demonic beast’s territory, Kenny Lin set Amalia down, and the two immediately split into different directions.

This scene was observed by the Lord-level devil that was chasing behind them, who assumed they were splitting up to increase their chances of escaping. In a cold voice, he ordered, "That Golden Core human is yours. The rest of you, follow me to chase down the Nascent Soul human."

The devils immediately split into two groups, each pursuing one of them.

Kenny Lin judged that the distance was right and abruptly stopped, launching an unexpected attack on the Lord-level devil.

His sword energy burst out in all directions like scattered petals from a celestial maiden.

"Such a petty trick." The Lord-level devil didn’t sense any power capable of destroying him and scoffed coldly.

"Ah! There’s something wrong with this sword energy!"

No sooner had he spoken than his subordinates let out miserable screams, falling from the sky.

"Lord, we can’t dispel this sword energy!" One of the Lord-level devil’s trusted aides was hit by the energy. When he tried to break it apart with his own strength, he discovered it had penetrated his defenses.

In mere moments, several of the Lord-level devil’s subordinates had already died.

The Lord-level devil glared at Kenny Lin in fury. Kenny Lin curled his lips into a smirk, and the sword in his hand suddenly emitted a much stronger glow.

The intensity wasn’t in the brightness, but in the sheer concentration of power.

Black and white intertwined, radiating a deadly aura, an omen of doom.

The Lord-level devil, who initially thought Kenny Lin didn’t possess the strength to pose a threat, finally felt it and his expression changed.

"Could it be that you’re a disciple of the Gren Lotus Sect?"

The indestructible sword energy—it could only belong to a disciple of the Gren Lotus Sect. Despite Kenny Lin’s youth, the way he wielded the sword was unmistakable.

"So what if I am?" Kenny Lin remained cautious, seeing that the devil hadn’t attacked right away. Their behavior was indeed strange.

The Lord-level devil’s eyes flashed with a sharp glint. "A disciple of the Gren Lotus Sect, perfect. Your sect has quite the bounty on its head."

They had been troubled over how to hunt down the disciples of the Gren Lotus Sect, and now one had delivered themselves right to their door, with just the right level of strength.

"Is that so? Then come and try." With a sudden movement, Kenny Lin flew backward.

The Lord-level devil reacted swiftly, chasing after them. Now that he knew they were disciples of the Gren Lotus Sect, he had no intention of letting the two humans escape. Killing them would be a significant achievement.

Suddenly, an immense power burst from the other side. The Lord-level devil’s eyes narrowed as, amidst the shadowy forest, two dragons roared and charged towards him.

One black and one white, they intertwined, forming a yin-yang polarity, releasing a terrifying aura. This was not a technique that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator could wield.

"The sword cultivators of the Gren Lotus Sect are indeed formidable, but unfortunately for you, you’ve met me!"

With a roar, the Lord-level devil summoned a massive axe into his hand. The axe radiated with power as he leaped up and slashed down.

The axe’s force collided fiercely with the black and white dragon energy.

After a brief standoff, the two dragons shattered.

The devils thought their master had won, but the fragmented dragons transformed into countless sword energies that surged forward, dense and inescapable.

Many devils had their skin sliced open by the sword energy. Even the Lord-level devil wasn’t entirely spared, as one of the sword energies grazed him.

Although the dispersed sword energy had weakened considerably, the Lord-level devil snorted and swiftly destroyed the one trying to burrow into his body and wreak havoc.

Once the scene settled, Kenny Lin had already fled.

"Follow me," the Lord-level devil ordered, spotting the direction Kenny had run in. To his surprise, the human hadn’t taken the opportunity to flee but instead went back to find his companion.

When the two forces collided, Amalia had already sensed it. Realizing that Kenny Lin was engaged with the Lord-level devil, she immediately drew her long blade and began wildly slashing at the territory of the powerful demonic beast.

Some of the weaker devils that couldn’t escape in time were killed by the crisscrossing blade energy, and the stench of blood quickly filled the air.

Soon, a powerful demonic beast in the center of the mountain let out a furious roar, echoed by countless other demonic beasts. The ground began to shake violently.

Amalia quickly sheathed her blade and left, heading to the rendezvous point with Kenny Lin.

The two worked together seamlessly. When Kenny Lin arrived, he quickly dispatched the devils chasing Amalia.
