Without another word, Black Baleful Devil Lord drove his [Path Opening] divine ability to its limit.
The next instant, he shattered through the void and appeared directly above Lu Chen's head.
"Brat, you actually dared to trick me!!!!!!!!"
Lu Chen once again withdrew the divine light of confinement and shouted, "Go!"
—Screech!
The Scarlet Bird Demon had no choice but to charge head-on toward Black Baleful Devil Lord.
—Slash!
Yet before the Scarlet Bird Demon could even get close, Black Baleful Devil Lord swung his blade backward and cleaved it cleanly into two halves, its soul obliterated on the spot.
"I will leave you without even a whole corpse!"
At this moment, Black Baleful Devil Lord's killing intent boiled over.
He had already realized that this brat would never let them leave. Better to kill him—perhaps he could still claim credit from Heavenly King Li and save his own life.
With that thought, the jet-black blade light suddenly tore through the void, sweeping toward Lu Chen in a horizontal slash.
"Lu Chen!!!!!!!"
At that moment, Lan'er's dragon cry broke into a shriek.
—"Riiip!"
A head flew into the air!!
Black Baleful Devil Lord only felt a chill at his neck, and the demonic flames in his eyes instantly froze.
"How... how is this possible?!"
He simply could not believe it.
His full-force slash had actually torn through the void and struck directly at his own neck!
—"Thud."
His enormous demonic head rolled to the ground.
Only then did Black Baleful Devil Lord realize that gray mist had been roiling around him for who knew how long.
His demonic eyes bulged. "You... you tampered with me long ago? You—when did you discover it..."
Lu Chen looked at him coldly, as if saying: I never trusted you from beginning to end!
