"You imbecile!" The Ninth Fiend Emperor was not afraid of the Seventh Fiend Emperor's strength, because it was impossible for the Seventh Fiend Emperor to kill him. However, he was worried that the Defiant Master would be rescued by those humans.
"If you stop me, the Defiant Master would escape. When that happens, you will be responsible for committing a serious crime," the Ninth Fiend Emperor shouted in exasperation.
"Do you think you can deceive me with such a pathetic lie?" The Seventh Fiend Emperor didn't believe it at all.
"What? You can use your fiendish sense to detect it! Dimwit."
"You know my fiendish sense can't reach the distance of about ten thousand kilometers, and you ask me to do that? Come on, let's stop this nonsense. Let's fight. Whoever wins gets to have the Defiant Master!" Afterwards, without hesitation, the Seventh Fiend Emperor launched an attack.
At that moment, the Ninth Fiend Emperor was annoyed. He couldn't believe that such a stupid fiend emperor existed!
Whoosh!
The Ninth Fiend Emperor chose to escape without a fight.
However, the Seventh Fiend Emperor had the space teleportation skill, so he blocked the Ninth Fiend Emperor's way at once.
"You can't escape from me!"
The Ninth Fiend Emperor was growing furious.
His fiendish aura surged. He couldn't stand the idiot anymore and wanted to kill him so badly.
Meanwhile, in the prison, Archer became timid because he knew he stood a chance to survive. He didn't dare to attack at all costs. After so many rounds of fights, he only managed to tie with the five humans.
"You, come and help us!" a human shouted at Darren.
Darren had only been observing for a long time and had a general idea that both sides were probably in the middle-level of the Star God Realm. Thus, he did not dare to intervene.
"Come and help us. We will protect you, so you can attack with all your strength," another human said.
In a heartbeat, Darren turned into a beam of light and rushed forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The god-level blade and sword intents shot out and boosted the strengths of the humans around Darren.
Although Archer was powerful enough, he couldn't ignore Darren's attack at all. At that moment, the balance was broken, and Archer was gradually at a disadvantage.
'I must severely injure the Defiant Master first!' Archer thought to himself. He didn't dare to kill the Defiant Master, but he had to make the Defiant Master lose his fighting ability.
"Roar!"
Archer dashed towards Darren under the five humans' simultaneous attacks.
"Go to hell!"
Darren charged all his black god's power and dark gold god's power to attack Archer.
For several times, Archer was forced to retreat because of the joint forces of the other humans' bombardment and Darren's most powerful attacks. Because of that, he failed to hurt Darren, and he himself was gravely damaged.
At that point, he felt he was at a complete disadvantage. He knew if he continued to fight, he would definitely die.
'Should I just flee or continue to defend myself?' he thought to himself.
"Ninth Fiend Emperor, if you don't show up in fifteen minutes, I will kill the Defiant Master before I die. In that way, you're going down with me!" He had no choice but to threaten the Ninth Fiend Emperor.
Archer's words could indeed jeopardize the Ninth Fiend Emperor's life.
If the Defiant Master escaped, the Ninth Fiend Emperor would still have a chance to chase him back. However, if the Defiant Master was killed, he would surely be held accountable and would be severely punished. If his superiors investigated on the matter, he would be put to death.
A living Defiant Master was an invaluable treasure in the eyes of their superior leaders. Losing one would be unimaginable!
"Archer, I'll be there soon. Just hang on. As long as you can keep the Defiant Master alive, I will protect you," the Ninth Fiend Emperor finally replied.
At that time, he was getting worried.
"Listen, I promise to share the Defiant Master with you and split the merits! If you continue to stand in my way, Archer will kill the Defiant Master. If our superiors found out about it, you would be killed as well," the Ninth Fiend Emperor stopped and said seriously.
"Archer is your subordinate. Does he dare to disobey your order?" The Seventh Fiend Emperor still thought that the Ninth Fiend Emperor was lying.
