Manticore seemed to have seen through Nelly's thoughts, laughing coldly, he said, "Nelly Vader, to think that you're a tier 4 expert, having been the mayor for over 20 years. You should know His Majesty's influence better than I do."
"Do you think that just because you brought him away and found a place to hide, that His Majesty would not be able to find you?"
"Borodin Kingdom's territory covers tens of thousands of miles of land, but it is very vast. Don't forget that His Majesty can summon the entire strength of the kingdom with just a King's will. Even those foreign tribes will be searching for you. No matter where you hide, you will be found."
"Unless you can escape Borodin Kingdom, but that is even more impossible. A huge city with a teleportation array will be heavily guarded. You are only tier 4, with your tier 3 son to take care of as well. Under the circumstances of evading capture, there is no way for you to escape Borodin."
Facing the shower of flowers, Nelly was silent.
Manticore continued, "In addition, even if you are lucky enough to escape from Borodin, the other three kingdoms' Kings are on good terms with His Majesty. You have nowhere to run."
"In addition, don't forget that there is a mysterious organization that spans the entire continent, the obelisk. This organization claims to be omnipotent. As long as you give them money, they will be able to find you in less than half a month."
"So, hand over Laylen Vader now and let me bring him back to the imperial city. Let the King deal with him as he pleases. Maybe the King will let you off easy."
Every word from Manticore was slowly breaking down Nelly's psychological defenses.
Nelly remained silent.
He knew what Manticore had said.
"It's still not too late to escape now," a faint voice said.
Beside Manticore, Ang Li smiled and said.
However, there was a hint of ridicule in his words, especially when he looked at Laylen. It was obvious that he was looking at an idiot.
Ang Li thought of how he had kowtowed to Laylen 200 times until his head was bleeding, but in the end, this guy was teasing him. This made Ang Li Furious.
Now, someone was courting death and offended the high and mighty King.
Even the people from the radiant cult couldn't save him.
With this thought, the depression and anger in Ang Li's heart lessened a lot.
However, when Laylen saw the way Ang Li looked at him, he immediately felt unhappy.
Although he didn't have any interaction with Ang Li, this kind of look really made him very unhappy.
"Escape? Who said I'm going to escape?" Laylen said in a contemptuous tone, "If I'm going to escape when facing a mere transcendent, I won't have the face to continue living if this gets out and my little brother finds out."
Manticore stared coldly at Laylen.
This little brat was simply audacious. Not only did he insult His Majesty the King, he even slashed His Majesty's spiritual imprint.
Right now, he was still feeling quite uneasy. He didn't know if His Majesty would vent his anger on his family.
After all, he was the one who had brought the King's will here. Other than an accident, he hadn't been able to protect the will well.
He had been killed by His Majesty's Magic Spell and had nowhere to go.
If it hadn't been for Nelly stopping him, he would have wanted to kill this little b*stard with one blow.
"You are extremely stupid. Not only did you harm yourself, but you also implicated your father and all the people of the mayor's mansion. Even the lives of the people of Vader City will die because of you. If I were you, I would have killed myself to atone for my crime!" Manticore said coldly.
"Laylen, for the sake of everyone, you can kill yourself." Standing at the side, Ang Li made a sarcastic sarcastic remark, still staring at him as if he was looking at an idiot.
F*ck, why are you still looking at me like that? See if I won't kill you today.
"Sure." Laylen suddenly grinned and revealed a brilliant smile.
People familiar with Laylen would know that someone was going to be in big trouble when Laylen smiles.
"Eh?"
Laylen's answer surprised Manticore, Ang Li, and the others.
Just as they were shocked, Laylen continued, "If you want me to die to atone for my crime, of course you can. However, I want to choose a decent way to die."
Manticore asked, "How do you want to die?"
Laylen pointed at Ang Li and said, "I'll fight Ang Li. None of you should interfere, even if one of us were to die. What do you all think?"
Hearing Laylen's words, all the people present showed surprised expressions.
Ang Li also looked at Laylen in surprise. He could not understand why he wanted to challenge him?
Although both of them were at tier 3. But he was already half a step into tier 4.
He could even break through at any time.
They were both at tier 3, but there was a huge gap between them.
There was no comparison at all.
However, this was also good. As long as he killed Laylen in the challenge, not only could he take revenge, but even though the injury on his forehead was healed with healing magic, it was still a little painful.
At the same time, he might even receive a reward from His Majesty the King.
Thus, a smile appeared on the corner of Ang Li's mouth and he said, "Okay, I accept your challenge."
Creed had been displeased with Laylen for a long time. If his son could kill him in front of Nelly, and Nelly did not dare to stop him, it would definitely be an interesting matter.
Manticore's voice sounded in Ang Li's ear, "Kill him quickly."
Ang Li nodded slightly.
On the other hand, in the palace, everyone was a little nervous.
After all, no one had seen Laylen make a real move. For a moment, they did not understand why Laylen wanted to challenge Ang Li.
Nelly looked at his son and was also a little nervous. However, when he recalled that Laylen had said that he had already killed a tier 4 expert during the second self-destruction of his meridians, his tense mood eased a little.
Laylen removed the magic array and said, "Come over."
Ang Li walked in front of him and said contemptuously, "Do you want me to suppress my strength a little?"
Ang Li was very confident that even if he suppressed his strength, he could still crush Li Lin.
He was also qualified to be confident. After all, Unli had once killed two late-stage tier 3 cultivators with the strength of an early-stage tier 3 cultivator.
"No need." Laylen shook his head slightly.
Ang Li sneered: "It seems that you really want to die, well, I will grant your wish then, after going to hell do not be too grateful to me."
"Also, use your full strength so you can live a few more seconds."
"Are you sure you want me to use all my strength?" Ang Li asked in surprise
Hearing Laylen's words, Ang Li sneered in his heart. Although the difference between their realms was not big, he believed that he could completely crush him in terms of his attainments in magic cultivation and actual combat experience.
Even if this little b*stard used his full strength, it was impossible for him to survive for more than a minute in his hands.
"Okay, then I'll satisfy your desires to die." Laylen nodded with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Laylen immediately made his move. He activated the nameless origin spell in his body and mobilized the massive amount of magic power that was stored in his body. An invisible wave of air broke out from his body and spread out in all directions.
In the next moment, Laylen rushed towards Ang Li, and at the same time, a series of thunderclap-like loud bangs were heard.
Flying Thunder Spell.
It was a saint-level spell that was unique in terms of movement techniques. After casting it, its speed was extremely fast. Laylen had already cultivated this spell to the point where he could enter the master level. Once he cast it, only the sound of thunder could be heard, but no one could see him.
Even a half-step extraordinary manticore at the peak of tier 4, with the blessing of the eagle eye spell, could not easily capture Laylen's figure.
He only heard the sound of thunder.
The moment Laylen disappeared, Ang Li's expression had already changed drastically, because a strong sense of danger had spread throughout his entire body.
Just as Ang Li mobilized his magic power to cast a defensive magic ring for himself, Laylen came in front of him with the sound of thunder and kicked him in the air. The kick landed on Ang Li's chest.
Ang Li did not manage to block it. A bone-cracking sound came from his chest, and blood spurted out of his mouth as he was sent flying.
Laylen's body followed him around like a shadow. He did not give Ang Li any chance to catch his breath. This time, he punched out with his fist. Magic power gathered on his fist, and the bright purple energy burst out like violent bolts of lightning, smashing fiercely onto Ang Li's head.
Immediately, Ang Li's head exploded, and a cloud of blood mist with a charred smell could be discerned.
In less than a breath's time, with just a punch and a kick, he was able to instantly kill Ang Li. Even if there were two more of the same power as Ang Li, he would have been able to kill them all just as easily as well, all of this with only his power of peak tier 3.
Everyone watching was so shocked that the entire area fell into pin-drop silence.
