“Wanting to take your spiritual spring and soul essence and go? You won’t have the chance.”

The two Divine Immortal human experts thought that the demonic devil had chosen to flee. However, having spent lots of effort in forcing the demonic devil to such a vulnerable state, it was impossible for them to let it go at this critical moment. Almost as soon as the demonic devil moved, the two of them, with their combat swords, rushed forth and blocked the devil’s path on either side.

“*Roar…* Bastard! You despicable humans!”

The demonic devil cursed furiously. Due to it only thinking about the soul essence, it lost its interest in battling. The devil blocked the attacks casually, but this would not help in defending the joint attacks of the two late Divine Immortal experts. When it blocked one of the sword strikes with effort, another sword was slashed on its body. Despite the demonic devil’s incredible solid physique, it wasn’t invincible to the sharpness of an Immortal Sword. The sword left a cut so deep the bone inside became visible and blood gushed out frantically.

The demon let out a wail and swore even louder. As it had a certain connection with the soul essence, it knew someone was in the cave right now and naturally, this must be related to these two Divine Immortal experts.

In its point of view, the human inside the cave must be a comrade of the two. The two of them had come out to confront it while the third expert sneaked into the cave during their fight.

But then, no matter how furious the demonic devil was, it could never turn the situation around. Its anger had in turn severely affect its mind. Taking the injuries into account, it couldn’t exert out its strength fully. Being blocked by the two experts, one at the front and one from behind, it had no chance of going back into the cave.

Jiang Chen was watching the scene on the other side. His smile was full of delight. He thanked the two human experts in his heart for being so nice to him. If it wasn’t them who stopped the demonic devil, he might have a big problem once the devil rushed in.

There were two parables that were similar to the current situation, namely ‘the mantis stalks the cicada, but behind them lurks the oriole’ and ‘when the snipe and clam grapple, it is the fisherman who profits’. The demonic devil had misunderstood that Jiang Chen was a comrade of the two, whereas the two experts were clueless about Jiang Chen’s existence. If they knew in the end that their painstaking effort was only to grant the other person’s wish and all their efforts would be in vain, they probably would spurt out blood on the spot.

*Roar…* *Roar…*

Outside, the demonic devil roared repeatedly, launching the last intense battle with the two. Despite its severe injuries, it was still domineeringly ferocious. The two experts didn’t dare to neglect it.

However, the two Divine Immortal experts had experienced hundreds of battles. They weren’t nervous while facing the demonic devil. What they intended to do was to slowly torture it to death. The present situation was in their complete favour and the demonic devil would die for sure, so they didn’t need to be hasty about getting the spiritual spring and soul essence. As long as the demonic devil was eliminated, the two treasures would become theirs.

Jiang Chen should have left the place after obtaining the spiritual spring to quickly refine the treasures, but when he saw the scene outside, he decided to stay and watch the battle. What the two human experts would take after killing the demonic devil would be only the demon soul, leaving the remains behind. As such, Jiang Chen’s pagoda would be able to absorb the corpse of the late Divine Immortal demonic devil which by far the greatest nourishment for the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda.

The idea of him hiding in the dark, waiting for them to get rid of the demonic devil, then collect the loot was flawless.

*Chi La…* *Chi La…*

The battle was getting fiercer, but the demonic devil had lost its stand. The human experts were constantly leaving wounds on the devil’s majestic body. The demonic devil’s Qi along with its combat strength were declining rapidly. It could last in this battle for two minutes at best, after that, it would be finished off by the two experts.

“It’s a pity. It’s really a pity.”
