Clyde's Despair

As he relentlessly slaughtered the charging guards, the ground was soon carpeted with their corpses. Blood soaked him from head to toe, and the bodies piled higher and higher. In the end, even these rigorously trained guards no longer dared to step forward.

Linley's eyes were bloodshot, blood still dripping from his body. Everywhere he passed resembled a living hell. He came before Clyde. In Dragonblood Transformation, no expression could be seen on his face; only a bloodthirsty madness could be read in his icy gaze. Clyde lay paralyzed on the ground, without even the strength to crawl, vomiting blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Seeing Linley draw closer and closer, Clyde used all his strength to shift his body, hoping to get farther away from Linley. But his injuries were too severe, and both his legs had been severed by Bebe. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move even an inch.

Linley stepped on Clyde's thigh.

Crack

"Aah..."

The sound of bone breaking was crisp, so clear that even the guards nearby heard it distinctly. Clyde's screams filled the entire manor. Some guards had been about to rush forward, but upon seeing Linley's icy gaze, all of them could not help but retreat.

Hearing Clyde's screams, these guards, who had been educated from childhood to protect him, wanted to save Clyde. Yet their instincts drove them backward, step by step. No one dared to come forward.

"Speak! Who did you hand my mother over to?" Linley said coldly.

"It's useless. Hahaha, if you find out, you'll only die faster." Clyde said miserably. Knowing there was no way he could survive, Clyde threw caution to the wind.

He knew that whether he spoke or remained silent, he would die. Perhaps if he said nothing, he could still preserve his family and their rule over the Fenlai Kingdom.

Linley had also seen through Clyde's thoughts, but he still did not want to end his life so easily. He wanted Clyde to suffer to the fullest before dying.

"Crack! Aah!"

"Will you speak or not? I'll make sure you enjoy this properly." Linley coldly looked at Clyde, whose body had become so utterly distorted that no one could tell the man lying on the ground was once the majestic King Clyde.

He lay on the ground like a beggar, his entire body trembling, yet he still showed no intention of answering Linley.

"Demon... you're a demon!" Clyde roared. His voice was faint, but everyone heard it clearly. Looking at the icy figure before him, Clyde felt that Linley was like a death-bringer from the Underworld.

"Crack! Crack!"

Linley forcibly snapped Clyde's right index and middle fingers, then casually tossed them onto the ground.

"Aah, aah..." The ten fingers were connected to the heart. Unable to bear the agony of having his fingers forcibly broken, Clyde howled.

"Clyde, let me tell you this: you are definitely going to die." Linley said calmly.

"You have two choices now. The first is to die after suffering endless torture. The second is to tell me who you gave my mother to, and who killed my mother. Then I'll let you suffer a little less." Linley said indifferently.

"Your Majesty!" Some guards could not help rushing forward, but faced with Bebe's attacks, they only added several more cold corpses to the ground. They could do nothing but increase the casualties.

Perhaps realizing he would not get the answer he wanted, Linley directly smashed Clyde's head apart with his dragon-scaled hands, ending his life. Once he saw that Clyde no longer showed any signs of life, the knot in his heart, long bound by hatred, was released. The gloom in Linley's heart suddenly cleared, and his mind became lucid. He felt much lighter, and the killing intent around him was no longer as intense as before.

After calming down and looking at the corpses strewn across the ground, Linley felt no remorse. He had come for revenge, and those who chose to protect their king could not avoid such an outcome. He knew this was the stronghold of the Bright Church. Having killed a king in full view of everyone, he had completely fallen out with the Church.

Now that Clyde was dead, the calm Linley understood the gravity of the situation. He had to leave at once. He removed the spatial ring from Clyde's ring finger.

"Bebe, let's go. We need to leave Fenlai City immediately, or it'll be too late." Ignoring the guards surrounding them in several layers, Linley immediately sent the words to Bebe.

"All right, Boss. I'll listen to you," Bebe replied.

Just as the two were preparing to flee Fenlai City, an unexpected incident occurred.
