"Who are you?"

Su Chen had long been aware of the presence of the three people and slowly retracted the Profound Water power in his palm, asking coldly.

If it was before, he might have been very wary of them, but now, with the help of Profound Water, his confidence was at an all-time high. He was confident he could kill them in ten rounds.

Spirit Maiden was taken aback and then suddenly flashed a slightly embarrassed smile on her beautiful face, softly saying, "Little brother, you truly have impressive skills. May I know your name?"

In critical times, faces change quickly; Phoenix looked at the innocent expression of Spirit Maiden, smirked, and thought to herself.

Su Chen didn't respond to Spirit Maiden; instead, he slowly fixed his gaze on the cold-faced Phoenix.

She was a beautiful yet cold woman, tall and slim in figure, possessing a peculiar charm, with delicate features and an ethereal pride in her countenance that tolerated no disdain. Her elongated autumn-water-like eyes and thick curled lashes caused people to lose focus unconsciously.

Seeing Su Chen staring motionlessly at her, the coldness in Phoenix's eyes faded slightly, replaced with a hint of confusion. Although her heart still held a slight annoyance, she became a bit puzzled: Is he staring at me because of my beauty?

"You still haven't told me who you are and what you intend to do to me."

Su Chen withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

"Little brother, you've misunderstood. We just saw the water column in the pool shooting up strangely, so we came to investigate. We didn't expect to be mistaken for bad people by you."

At this point, Spirit Maiden purposely wrinkled her pretty nose and showed an aggrieved expression as if about to cry, sighing, "A companion, after many days together, has fallen to the underworld just like that, I..."

Hearing her faint cry, Su Chen's gaze sharpened slightly as he asked blandly, "Is that really true?"

"No, it's not."

Before Spirit Maiden could interrupt, Phoenix coldly replied, "We came to kill you because you absorbed the Profound Water!"

"What are you saying, Phoenix?"

Spirit Maiden was shocked, staring incredulously at Phoenix's determined face, gritting her silver teeth, "Don't let Dragon's death cloud your mind with rage!"

Su Chen suddenly turned to Spirit Maiden, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes!

"If you're here to kill me, then there's no need for disguises. If you can kill me, go ahead!"

Saying this, he leaped high from the back of the North Nether Divine Fish, harnessing the wind force from his body surface, and dove rapidly toward the shore!

But at that moment, a vast black triangular shadow suddenly swept in from the shore, and Su Chen couldn't stop himself from crashing right into it!

Time seemed to freeze instantly!

A mysterious triangular black shadow covered the water surface area, forming a diagonal pair with the shadow on the shore, creating a shadow restraint that could restrict one's movement!

Su Chen looked blankly at the short man with a sinister smile in front of him, his eyes showing a trace of panic, as he discovered he was unable to move!

Black Crow put away his magic staff and slowly walked forward from the center of the black flag, his eyes flashing with a greedy light.

"You brat, quite the bravery to come alone to the Divine Dragon Pool?"

"Black Crow, why have you restrained even us? Bastard! Quickly release my restraint!"

Spirit Maiden's angry voice came from a distance, echoing endlessly along the shore.

Black Crow snorted coldly, no longer looking at Su Chen, and instead walked straight toward Spirit Maiden and Phoenix. Similarly using the Wave Plate, he drifted lightly to their side and dragged them back to the shore, one in each hand.

"Quickly release my restraint, you brainless fool!"

Spirit Maiden, unable to repress her anger, cursed furiously, her beautiful face covered in beads of sweat, making her appear even more stunning.

Black Crow swallowed, seemingly ignited by a flame within his eyes, and laughed dryly twice.

"You..."

Spirit Maiden widened her beautiful eyes, staring in astonishment at the suddenly unfamiliar Black Crow, with a terrifying thought flashing through her mind!

Indeed, Black Crow smacked his crooked mouth, sticking out his tongue to lick his dry lips, saying, "I've long been attracted to you, but you always ignored me. Hehe, now that I've finally caught an opportunity, do you think I'd let you escape from my grasp?"

"You... What do you want? Black Crow, I warn you, if you dare harbor ill intentions towards me, I will never let you off!"

Spirit Maiden reprimanded fiercely, but her pale face had long betrayed her inner panic.

Though she would often send flirty glances unintentionally due to her temperament, she never expected it would lead to her downfall at the hands of the lascivious Black Crow.

Black Crow walked forward, leaving Su Chen and Phoenix staring blankly behind, unable to utter a word.

"Let go of me! You bastard! Animal! You won't die well!"

The triangular shadow, losing control, vanished without a trace. The two exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

"The restraint is lifted; could it be that Black Crow is already dead?"

Phoenix's blush faded, only left with endless astonishment. Although Black Crow's strength wasn't exceedingly high, he was at least a one-star Beast Master, and he possessed extraordinary talent as an Astrologer, capable of creating powerful restraints beyond his level. Encountering him usually meant getting beaten.
