At this moment, Delma was in a very awkward position. If he were facing a great expert, even one who was very experienced, he would have various methods to deal with it. If he couldn't win, he could still retreat calmly.
As a high-ranking heir of the Lena People, he still had some skills.
But just now, he and his bodyguards, both great experts, had to face several times the number of enemies. Each of those enemies was enough to give them a hard time. Now he had multiple wounds bleeding, and his body felt like it was ablaze, a clear sign of serious injury.
However, in this unfavorable situation, Delma keenly noticed that when he thought he could hold on no longer, the few great experts from the Hall People suddenly reduced the intensity of their attacks.
This discovery reignited the hope in Delma’s already despairing heart.
He quickly figured out the reason for their actions.
Delma thought of two points: the first was that the Hall People did not want to be the ones to kill him personally. If the incident was exposed later, most of the blame could be shifted onto the Su Clan.
The second point was that they might want him alive. After all, the main force of the Lena People was about to arrive, and they might not want to push things to the extreme.
Regardless of which point it was, it was good news for him.
Not to mention the second point; as long as he didn't die, even if captured, there was a great chance of survival. The key was the first point. If they intended to provoke the Su Clan into action, Delma felt he had a considerable chance of surviving, because only two great experts from the Su Clan were involved in the attack against him, while another rebel from the Dragon Race was dealing with his bodyguard.
As for the two great experts, one was Jie Su from the Su Clan, who had little impact during the fight... their strengths were still primarily in formations.
And while Pao Bai was quite annoying, as an assassin, he had limited effectiveness in a direct confrontation.
So… opportunity!
Delma felt that his chance had come. He had a method to swiftly leave the battlefield, but it required a little preparation time.
So when Jie Su and Ye Zhongming approached, he felt neither fear nor concern about how to deal with them; instead, he had already chosen his escape route in advance.
He knew that as long as he left, Kiersail Ting would find an opportunity to escape as well; no one could stop them. As for his bodyguards and others, he couldn't care less about their fates.
Just then, Delma suddenly felt a sense of danger, stronger than when he faced the siege earlier.
He discovered that a massive hand had emerged beneath him, gripping his lower body, while in front of him, Jie Su threw down two formation disks beside him.
As for Luo Zixin, Ye Zhongming would not be stingy towards his brother.
Delma quickly withdrew the small equipment that could aid his escape, and redirected all his energy downward.
Several beams of light burst forth from the enormous earth-type hand, rendering the previously almost unstoppable grasp of destiny severing ineffective. Once the light shone through, that ability began to dissipate.
But Jie Su's formation disks began to take effect, extending over ten green vines from the surrounding ground, using the brief moment when Delma was unable to move to entangle his body.
One must admit, the high-ranking heir of the Lena People was indeed formidable; even in such an unfavorable situation, he responded quickly. For some reason, sparks ignited on his equipment, setting the vines ablaze and causing that ability to lose effect within seconds.
From the moment Ye Zhongming launched his attack, Delma was bound to the ground for no more than five seconds.
But that time was enough for Pao Bai to launch many attacks.
Two cold beams of light shone from the darkness, one slicing towards Delma's neck and the other stabbing at his heart.
Thick, black, viscous substance emerged from Delma's hands, precisely blocking the attacks and preventing the two beams from reaching him.
