"Ricky...did Brad just move?" Soar's whisper sounded loud in the silence of the place, as he continued to stare wide-eyed at Brad.
"You are right, but I don't know why Brad attacked Norris. I never thought he would do something like this," Ricky answered him, and from his startled expression, he was as surprised as Soar.
"How...how is this possible?" Even Jasper couldn't believe what just happened. He murmured lowly, "I thought that the Endless Shadow had a strong alliance with the Nether Manor, and it was even rumored that Norris didn't trust anyone, even his deputy chiefs, except for Brad."
"What is going on?" Varying expressions of astonishment could be found on everyone's faces, and their eyes swung quickly from Brad to Norris, then back to Brad again.
At that moment, all of them were as clueless as newborn babies, and only Brad, Winston, and Hubert probably knew the reason behind Brad's betrayal.
All their eyes shifted to Norris, as he slowly got up with a bloodthirsty look on his face. Blood was slowly dripping down his cheeks, which added to the feral and menacing aura he was radiating.
"Brad, you shouldn't have betrayed me!" he snarled at Brad.
"Norris, I know you will never trust anyone, especially in this martial world where the weak fall prey to the strong," Brad sneered.
"You are right. I don't trust anyone. I only trusted you because I wanted to take advantage of the Endless Shadow," said Norris with unusual honesty. Brad might have thought that he outsmarted him, but he had been stringing him all along! He continued, "But I really don't understand why you dared to betray me. There's nothing in it for you, only death! And I never planned to kill anyone from the Endless Shadow."
At that moment, Norris' curiosity over Brad's actions overpowered his anger over Brad's betrayal. He just couldn't understand why Brad chose to betray him.
From what he knew of Brad, he was the kind of person that put profit above all else. He wasn't someone who would sacrifice his life for others. Why would he choose to betray him now?
"Be honest, what kind of person do you think I am?" Brad asked him casually. He could see that Norris was struggling to accept that he was betrayed, and it amused
ncerned, you are talking nonsense.
The reason why our people can cultivate the evil spirit is that our Omnipotent Skill is excellent. Enough about this ridiculous story of us selling our souls!" Norris roared.
"Ha-ha, really? But I believe all the creatures here are clear about what I've said," Brad said with a smile. "Today, you may be able to kill all of us, but the truth of what you do will spread far and wide.
By then, there will be more powerful spiritual emperors who hate devils coming after you. Consider us the stepping stones, if you will."
"You are looking for death! Since you have betrayed me, go to hell!" Norris said angrily. In the next moment, the blood killing power and the wound on his chest completely disappeared, as the evil spirit surged around them.
This was the power of a middle spiritual emperor.
"Let's have a go, then. I suddenly realize that I have never done something as righteous as this before. It would be good for me if I were to die like this," Brad told him, a smirk etched on his lips.
"Brad, thanks for giving us time!" Suddenly, Todd's voice resounded in the battlefield. All three had recovered, and they burst out their momentum at the same time.
As Brad and Norris talked, they had used up all the Treasures from Heaven and Earth and the advanced healing pills they had, so they could recover quickly.
Finally, now that they had recovered, they would have another chance to kill Norris. And this chance would be their last.
