When Vincent reappeared in the dark tunnel, he immediately activated blood law and started absorbing Darren’s demonic aura and life force into his body.

Darren’s reaction speed had become very slow under the control of the blood law; he was almost unable to retaliate.

Just as Vincent was about to achieve a complete victory, the rock walls in the tunnel suddenly crumbled. Three figures covered in black robes suddenly appeared and surrounded Vincent and Dave.

Dave, who was following behind Vincent, finally realized how accurate Vincent’s earlier worry was. He did not expect there to be a hidden ambush in the surrounding rock walls!

“Vincent, be careful!”

Dave quickly brandished his blade and turned around. He stood back-to-back with Vincent and watched out for the figures that had surrounded them.

Meanwhile, Vincent was controlling the blood law to extract Darren’s life. He squinted his eyes and looked at the two figures that had appeared behind Darren. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes instantly. He said to Dave in a hurry, “It really is a trap. You retreat back into the space tunnel first; I’ll deal with them!”

Although Dave was still very worried after hearing Vincent’s order, he was also afraid that he would become a burden to Vincent. Hence, he raised his hand and drew a line in front of him. He was preparing to open the space tunnel.

However, at that moment, the three figures suddenly took out their staff. Three rays of light shone from the staff. The lights merged with one another, completely sealing off the space where Vincent and Dave were.

“Sky Demon Forbidden Region!”

Following the three low roars, Dave felt his vision suddenly darken. At the same time, the space door that he was preparing to reopen had failed!

Despite that happening, Dave could clearly feel that his modification authority had not lost its effect. It was just that he was unable to use any space-related abilities temporarily.

Dave reminded Vincent loudly behind him, “They have sealed off this space. I am unable to open the space tunnel!”

Vincent could not help but frown when he heard that. He quickly made a decision and said in a deep voice, “Then prepare to fight. We will fight our way out!”

Suddenly, Darren, who was controlled by Vincent, shouted crazily, “Hahaha, it’s too late! This is a trap prepared by God Gajero for you. You will definitely not be able to escape!”

“Huh?”

Vincent could not help but frown when he heard that. At the same time, he increased the speed of absorbing Darren’s vitality.

The strength of the three opponents that had suddenly appeared was unknown. Vincent did not dare to be careless. He only wanted to get rid of Darren as soon as possible. After that, he would bring Dave to resist the other three figures and return to the surface as soon as possible before creating more chaos.

This was because he did not know what kind of backup plan the other party had prepared underground!

Darren did not seem to care about his own life at that moment. He took off all the rings on his ten fingers casually and threw them into the air. The ten rings flew toward the three figures around him.

When Vincent saw this, his expression could not help but turn grim. The other party’s intention was obvious. They wanted him to stay underground and fight to the death with them!

Otherwise, once Vincent and Dave escaped, the other three would immediately sacrifice the storage rings containing the Origin Divine Earth.

After seeing the scene, Dave also knew that escaping was no longer an option. He immediately held his knife with both hands and asked resolutely, “Vincent, what should we do now?”

Vincent was using his left hand to activate blood law. He used his right hand to pull out the Return Journey of the Dead and stabbed directly toward Darren’s heart.

“There’s no other way, kill them all!” shouted Vincent loudly.

At the same time, he used the blade in his hand to pierce through Darren’s chest and stirred it forcefully.

However, Darren had already become a demon. If Vincent did not find his core, he would not be able to kill off the other party completely.

After Vincent’s fatal slash, he was able to determine that Darren’s core was not located at his heart.

Dave became extremely determined after hearing Vincent’s bold response. He swung his blade toward the mysterious figure in front of him.

“World Domination!”

Dave once again used the eight forms of Heaven’s Will. This time, he did not hold back at all. He went all out right from the start. He wanted to fight to the death with the opponent in front of him.

Dave knew that this trap was specifically set up to target Vincent. As these figures were instructed to kill Vincent, their strength had to be at least above level 40. It was even possible for their levels to reach level 45.

Dave, who was relatively weak, really wanted to help Vincent. However, he knew that he would only have one chance to attack. He needed to use his strongest move to take down the opponent with thunderous momentum. Only then would he be able to ease Vincent’s pressure on the battlefield.

Otherwise, once the other party attacked with their full strength, Dave knew that it would not only be difficult for him to protect himself, but it would also bring even more trouble to Vincent!

After seeing that Dave was the first to attack, the three mysterious figures guarding Vincent slammed their staffs heavily onto the ground. At the same time, the three of them took out strange-looking weapons from under their loose robes.

The space-stopping technique was still maintained. When the three mysterious figures took a step forward, it was equivalent to stepping into a domain. They wanted to fight a battle to the death with Vincent and Dave.

One of the mysterious figures took out a unique soft whip from within his robe. The soft whip was made of countless pitch-black blades and had cross blades connected to the middle axis of all the blades. It looked like a soft tendon that was emitting a scarlet light.

As soon as the mysterious figure shook his whip-wielding hand slightly, the whip grew longer in size and looked like a long snake.

Dave swung his ten-meter-long black blade toward the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure threw his whip aside. However, the whip suddenly grew dozens of meters long out of thin air and wrapped tightly around Dave’s black blade. The mysterious figure twisted the whip with force and broke Dave’s black blade into countless pieces. Dave’s attack soon disappeared into thin air.

“Devil Dragon’s Spine!”

Dave did not have time to feel depressed at that moment. Instead, he looked at the long whip in the other party’s hand and let out a sigh, “This is the holy item of Devil Dragon City! You are the City Lord of the Devil Dragon City, one of the Twelve Apostles, Theodore!”

“Hehehe, kid, your eyesight is not bad. You do have some experience. You can recognize my identity just by looking at my weapon. You’re not simple!”

The mysterious figure let out a roar. He then took off the long robe that covered his body, revealing his face that had already turned into a demon.

When Dave saw this, his face immediately turned ugly. The man in front of him was another one of the twelve apostles who had turned into a demon. This meant that he was a level 45 creature. Even one of him was already very difficult to deal with, however, he still had two helpers who had not shown up yet!

Dave knew that even if he made a move, he would still not be a match for Theodore, so he had no choice but to use words to stall for time.

Dave sighed in compromise, “Since you are one of the twelve apostles and you are willing to hide in the mud to ambush us, I believe that the other two must be of the same status as you.”

He did not dare to look behind him because he had to be always on guard against Theodore.

Theodore laughed and said, “Andre has really given birth to a good son! It’s a pity that he doesn’t know how to train you. He led you down the wrong path and you became a blasphemer with the other races. Today, I can only kill you to console Andre who is already dead!”

Dave could not help but frown after hearing that. Although Theodore did not answer his question directly, he did not deny his guess.

It seemed that the other two mysterious individuals who had not revealed their true identities were also very difficult to deal with. It was very likely that they were two apostle-level powerhouses!

Vincent, who had his back to Dave, heard their conversation clearly. His heart did not waver at all. He withdrew his blade calmly and stabbed Darren in the head again. He was determined to get rid of Darren before the battle officially started.

“Save me, quickly save me!”

Although Darren was crazy, he did not lose his mind completely. After sensing Vincent’s killing intent toward him, he quickly asked the other two figures for help.

The two mysterious figures took out their weapons.

One of them held a codex in his hand. As he opened the pages of the codex, streams of black aura instantly gushed out. At the same time, several formations lit up in the air, and were being created at an extremely fast speed.

The other mysterious figure took out two rings from his robe. The rings were all cut open. The sharp cold light seemed to be able to cut objects into pieces. The figure did not even need to use his hands to hold the rings. Instead, he just turned his hands gently and the two rings had flown straight toward Vincent.

After seeing that the other party had suddenly launched an attack, Vincent had no choice but to retract the blade that was aimed at Darren’s head. He slashed left and right, sending the rings flying.

However, at that moment, the formation that was being set up by the mysterious figure with the codex had completed. A thick black tentacle appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Darren tightly. It quickly escaped from Vincent’s body.

At the same time, the other formations were also activated. Frost, lightning, and demonic flames surged toward Vincent!

Vincent transformed his Hand of God into a round shield that was as tall as a person. It protected his entire body perfectly, blocking all the attacks from the formations. However, Vincent was still pushed back by the huge force. He knocked into Dave who was behind him.

“Ouch!”

Dave was suddenly hit by Vincent and staggered a few steps forward.

The moment he lost his balance, the long whip in Theodore’s hand instantly turned into a long sword, stabbing directly at Dave’s heart.

Dave did not have time to react. He could only stare at the Devil Dragon Spine that was getting closer and closer, and his mind even began to replay his life’s experiences.

Just as Dave was falling into the despair of death, a pitch-black long blade suddenly slashed past his back, blocking the Devil Dragon Spine that was about to stab him. Then, the blade hooked back, bringing Dave to a wall at the side.

When Dave came back to his senses, he saw Vincent with his shield in his left hand and the blade in his right hand. He was shielding him. At the same time, he was on guard against the mysterious figures that were on both sides.
