The Medallion novel Chapter 1025

Soon, another figure came out of the ancestral temple. He was tall and robust, and his aura was of the Heavenly Stage.

"Rocky, long time no see!" the figure called out to Rocky.

"Dunn?" Rocky recognized that the man at once. Dunn was a spy in the Crimson Dragon Group for many years under Alyssa's order. Then, after his identity as a spy had been discovered, he returned to the army of the Timber Deity Empire.

Logically speaking, since Dunn was a spy arranged by Alyssa, he could be considered a trustworthy person for her. However, Rocky did not expect that Dunn would betray her. The traitor thought that he was doing the right thing by using the opportunity to improve his strength and social rank.

"Now you can't deny it, can you?" Geoffrey stared at Rocky gleefully.

Rocky shrugged and smiled. Since Geoffrey had even bribed such an important witness, then Rocky had no reason to refute. Instead of responding, he turned to Queenie and said, "This is none of your business. Just go back to the Cao Mansion!" He wanted her to stay somewhere safe because he knew that a fierce battle could erupt at any moment. He didn't wish to involve Queenie or the Cao Clan in his problems.

"No, I won't go back. I can't let them gang up on you." Queenie didn't care about Rocky's true identity. Her only thought was that she couldn't let Geoffrey and others browbeat Rocky.

Of course, Rocky would not give her any chance to be willful. He seized her, released a wave of his domineering spiritual power to lock the spiritual power inside her body, and then summoned Robin.

"Take her back to the Cao Mansion," Rocky ordered as he threw Queenie on its back.

"No, let me go!" Since her spiritual power was locked, Queenie couldn't do anything to fight back. That didn't stop her from glaring at Rocky and struggling, albeit uselessly.

Meanwhile, Robin looked around warily. It could probably tell that its master was in danger, so it was unwilling to leave him. However, under Rocky's insistence, it howled mournfully, then took Queenie out of the crowd, quickly flying away with her on its back.

On the other hand, Geoffrey didn't order anyone to chase after Queenie because he didn't want to get her involved either. After all, she was a member of the Cao Clan. Even if the clan wanted to protect Rocky, he had used despicable means to kidnap Queenie, so there was no need to make things too complicated. Anyway, he only had one target, and that was Rocky. His top priority was to defeat Rocky and then use him to beat Woods. And even if Queenie went back to the Cao Mansion to ask for help so they could save Rocky, they didn't have enough time to stop him. Rocky would be in their custody before the Cao Clan arrived here with their people. If by some stroke of luck, the Cao Clan could make it, Geoffrey was sure that they wouldn't want to have anything to do with a strong enemy of the Timber Deity Empire like Rocky. The plan he made from the start had considered everything. No one would have the chance to help Rocky again.

"Please go ahead, Master Sherman." At this time, Geoffrey suddenly nodded to Sherman.

Sherman took a deep breath, and then his aura of the Divine Stage suddenly rose. He waved his hands in the air, and spiritual lights flashed like lightning, as the air around them gained greater strength.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of odd-shaped wooden pillars rose within a hundred meters radius of the ancestral temple.

Spiritual currents crisscrossed like an electric net and covered the sky above the crowd with heavy spiritual clouds, like an enchanted barrier, which completely blocked the area within the one hundred radius.

"Now, you can't escape even if you have wings!" Geoffrey glared at Rocky darkly, and if looks could kill, Rocky would have died.

Rocky knew that Geoffrey was worried that he might use his ability to hide, so he asked Sherman to set up an enchanted barrier. Although Rocky's ability to hide allowed him to be invisible, it couldn't help him pass through the enchanted barrier. Sure enough, Geoffrey was well prepared to hunt him down!

Besides that, he had seen that Rocky had a very powerful mysterious spirit-manipulated beast before, so to make sure of his success, he brought with him two masters at the Divine Stage, Sherman and Alexander.

With all these efforts, Geoffrey was confident that Rocky could not escape. He had so many warriors at the Supernal Stage, and had already cut off most of his escape routes.

Geoffrey had given all he could for this mission. It was no easy feat to pull together such a powerful lineup to catch Rocky, who was only at the Supernal Stage!

In other words, he might have thought too highly of Rocky.

"Go ahead. You will be rewarded handsomely if you take him down!" Geoffrey didn't waste time, ordering all his men to move.

More than twenty figures surrounded Rocky at his behest, most of them spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage. However, they weren't there because they hated Rocky. All of them had eyes on the bounty that Geoffrey would give to them.

Without any hesitation, Rocky tightly clutched the Frozen Wind Dagger between his hands, and in an instant, it turned into a crescent-shaped Flaming Blade. He didn't even blink, as he faced down all the spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage from all directions. Instead, he rushed to meet the fastest approaching figures. He waved the Flaming Blade like it was an extension of his hand, and soon, he clashed with a spirit manipulator who had moved a second too slow. The latter was on fire before he could react, and the Evil Flame danced all over his body. With the fire burning more and more intensely, the man turned to ashes within a few seconds.

Since Rocky broke through to the Supernal Stage with the help of Alyssa, his power of Fire nature had soared, which made the Evil Flame more powerful. It was difficult for ordinary spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage to resist it.

When they realized what had happened, the other spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage hesitated in their movements, as a look of horror shadowed their faces. After all, only a ridiculously powerful person could kill such a warrior in a few seconds. However, they took courage in the fact that they outnumbered him, and quickly regained their momentum. At the same time, they summoned their spirit-manipulated beasts to assist in the battle. Dozens of shadow beasts flocked to attack Rocky.

With Rocky's current strength, not even forty spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage were a threat to him, let alone just twenty of them. Thus, he met them in battle with courage and determination. This was the difference between the strengths at the Supernal Stage and the Heavenly Stage.

Soon, more than half of the twenty spirit manipulators had been killed or injured, while Rocky was yet to break out in a sweat.

"What are you waiting for? Attack him together!" Geoffrey's face darkened. He signaled to the masters at the Supernal Stage who were still standing there furiously, trying to get them to attack Rocky.

Generally speaking, spirit manipulators who had reached such a stage had great pride for their craft. It meant that they were rarely willing to attack weaker people, especially when there was only one spirit manipulator on the other side.

Therefore, several masters at the Supernal Stage looked at each other, speechless. At first, they were unsure whether they should gang up on a single person. After a few moments of hesitation, two masters at the primary stage of the Supernal Stage took the lead to attack Rocky. Perhaps, in their opinion, with the help of the two relatively weaker masters, it would be more than enough to take Rocky down.
