Linley stared coldly at Clementine.
Despite being faced with a group of eight experts who were attacking him, Clementine was still all smiles.
“If you want this red caltrop diamond, we can discuss it.” Clementine said with a laugh. “However, I must tell you, I have already informed the Chief Sovereign of Light that I have it. If you do this, you will be offending the Chief Sovereign. Consider this carefully.”
“What a joke.” Dunnington laughed coldly. “Offend the Chief Sovereign of Light? Everyone competed for the red caltrop diamond fairly. If just by fighting over it, the Chief Sovereign of Light will be offended, then you taking it for yourself will be offending the Chief Sovereign of Destruction, the Chief Sovereign of Life, and the other Chief Sovereigns!” Which of these Paragons didn’t have a powerful backer?
Perhaps only Linley was here on his own.
Actually, as the other Paragons viewed it, behind Linley was the Chief Sovereign of Destruction of the Infernal Realm.
“Stop wasting time.” Bayer laughed coldly.
Clementine’s face sank. He swept the eight with his gaze, then laughed coldly. “Fine. You want this red caltrop diamond, right? However, how will the eight of you divide it up? I am quite interested in this.”
“Don’t worry about that.” Dunnington’s face sank.
“Everyone, prepare to attack.” Linley said.
Clementine’s face instantly turned cold. He suddenly swung his hand and threw the interspatial ring out, using so much force that it transformed into a blur and flew into the horizon.
“Did he really hand it over?” Linley was startled. This was beyond his expectations. “Or perhaps…the interspatial ring he threw out was fake?” Linley was suspicious, but despite that, he would still go check it out!”
“The red caltrop diamond!”
The eight, Linley included, all charged together, but Linley’s divine sense was activated at all times, and so he clearly noticed that Clementine suddenly charged at high speed towards the Fogdeep continent.
A deep voice rang out. “This interspatial ring isn’t necessarily real. Everyone, don’t let Clementine escape. Let’s stop him first.”
But although they said that, who would actually go stop him?
If someone went to stop him, the others would definitely acquire the interspatial ring. After all…Linley’s group of eight wasn’t truly a cohesive group. Everyone wanted to acquire the red caltrop diamond. This made it so that although everyone knew that Clementine was fleeing, nobody went to stop him.
Everyone went to try and acquire the interspatial ring which Clementine had thrown out.
The closest and fastest were Linley and Bayer. They charged to the front and were about to acquire the interspatial ring. Up till now, Linley still had yet to reveal his true strength.
“Swoosh!” A surge of terrifyingly powerful energy swept towards Linley, and Linley’s speed couldn’t help but slow down.
“Hmph.” Linley willed it, and with a ‘whap’, behind Linley, a two meter long metallic, whip-like draconic tail suddenly emerged. After the transformation, Linley’s draconic tail and scales were now an inky jade color. Under Linley’s control, that draconic tail suddenly extended to nearly four meters long, and as it whipped out…
“Swoosh!” Space was cut through like parchment by a knife, and a very neat spatial rift was created.
“Bang!” Bayer wasn’t able to dodge in time. Struck by the draconic tail, he was knocked flying. Not just him; even the Paragon chasing behind them, ‘Nanessa’, was also knocked aside by Linley’s draconic tail.
Linley stretched his hand over the interspatial ring, and in the same instant, sent a drop of blood into it.
“The interspatial ring…the red caltrop diamond…” Linley couldn’t help but tremble from excitement.
“Everyone, join forces and attack Linley.” Bayer instantly sent to the other Paragons.
Linley’s divine sense instantly swept through the interspatial ring. The insides of it were completely empty; forget about the red caltrop diamond, there wasn’t even a rock inside. Linley’s heart sank, and a surge of rage began to build in his chest. “So this Clementine really wasn’t willing to hand over the red caltrop diamond.”
The other Paragons were preparing to attack Linley.
“This ring is fake!” Linley sent furiously to the others. “We’ve been swindled by Clementine!”
“What?”
The faces of the other seven Paragons changed dramatically. They all had thought of this possibility, but when it really played out, all of them grew furious. Eight Paragons had been deceived at one go. How could they not be enraged?
Everyone had thought of this possibility, and someone had even spoken out to urge them to block Clementine.
But…everyone wanted someone else to do the blocking, while they would go seize the interspatial ring.
Their disunity made it so that Clementine was now able to pull away from them.
“Capture him!” The Paragon of Earth, the big fellow who was four meters tall, bellowed furiously.
The eight, Linley included, charged straight for Clementine.
“Haha, only now did you want to try and capture me? Haha, too late.” Clementine’s voice. It echoed within the minds of Dunnington, Ballmer, Linley, and the rest of the eight. “It really is as I expected; this is the result of your disunity. I just played a simple trick, and all of you were fooled.”
Dunnington, Bayer, and the others had ugly looks on their faces.
Actually, everyone realized that the ring was probably fake, but none of them could resist fighting over it.
“To capture him now is difficult.” A cold voice rang out in the minds of Linley and the others. The speaker was the Paragon of Lightning, Nanessa. “Although we only spent a few moments trying to acquire that interspatial ring, Clementine has already flown more than a hundred thousand kilometers away. Of the eight of us, only four of us are as fast as Clementine, or at most slightly faster. But the distance is too great. It is impossible to catch up.”
Nanessa was quite dispirited.
The other Paragons felt helpless as well. Although they didn’t want to accept it, it was true.
“Haha, I thought I’d have to use a second trick. It seems that is unnecessary. Everyone, thank you for showing mercy and allowing me to acquire the red caltrop diamond.” Clementine sent with intentional mockery.
Quite a few Paragons began to slow down.
Clearly, they had given up.
“I’m not chasing. I won’t be able to catch him.” Dunnington gave up as well.
Linley stared up ahead, his gaze sharp.
“It’s about time.” Linley suddenly willed it, and the wind-type Sovereign power coursing through his body was instantly retracted into his sea of consciousness. And then, Linley activated his fused divine power! The four types of divine power fused into that black divine power, causing Linley’s energy to increase dramatically. Linley then accelerated just slightly…
“Bang!”
Space itself trembled as Linley’s speed increased explosively!
His speed had increased by roughly 30%.
