It wasn't just Valentine who was shocked by Clemente's question.

The people of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom, who were confronting the people of the two empires on the ground, began to laugh loudly when they heard Valentine's words.

​​

Although they were afraid of Bartholomew's brutality, everyone knew how terrifying Bartholomew's strength was!

When they heard someone ask why Bartholomew was so confident of winning, they couldn't help but laugh.

When the people of the Orencia Empire heard the other party's laughter, their expressions turned ugly. They were also very angry. They looked at the people of Slaughter Divine Kingdom and wished they could rush up and fight them to the death.

However, they couldn't find any words to refute the other party's laughter.

Clemente was the target and role model of the younger generation of the Orencia Empire. However, they also did not think that with Clemente's strength, he would be able to defeat Bartholomew.

After all, Bartholomew's battle achievements over the years were not something that the four great geniuses could compare to.

It was said that Bartholomew had once arrogantly challenged all the geniuses in the Slaughter Divine Kingdom. Although he had ultimately failed by a small margin, that was more than a hundred opponents!

Moreover, each of them was the strongest genius in the Slaughter Divine Kingdom!

At that time, Bartholomew had never lost in a one-on-one challenge. Moreover, he had defeated all his opponents within ten moves, and most of them had been defeated in one move.

It was only until Wilfrid appeared and defeated him.

Bartholomew laughed for a very long time before he gradually stopped.

"Clemente, your joke is very funny. If we weren't in the lost kingdom, I would have let you go," Bartholomew said with a smile as he looked at Clemente.

Clemente's expression was calm. There was no change in his expression. He simply said, "Unfortunately, what I said wasn't a joke."

The moment he said this...

The atmosphere on the stage froze once more. All the voices died down. Even the people from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom stopped laughing at him.

The entire stage fell into a deathly silence. Everyone could even hear their own breathing and heartbeats.

Hearing this, Bartholomew's smile froze on his face and then turned into an ice-cold expression.

His gaze towards Clemente was filled with killing intent as if it had already taken form. It was like a sharp blade stabbing towards Clemente.

"I hope your strength can compare to your arrogance," Bartholomew said through gritted teeth.

Ever since he had started cultivating, other than Wilfred, no one else had dared to say such words to him.

If it wasn't for the fact that Clemente was the number one genius of the Orencia Empire, he would have already killed Clemente in an instant.

However, Clemente and Valentine were both the number one geniuses of their respective empires. He wanted to personally experience their strength.

Although he didn't think that these two people would be his match if they joined forces, in his eyes, there was only one person who could be his opponent, and that was Wilfrid.

However, he still wanted to fight with these two people. In the Slaughter Divine Kingdom, there was no one else who could withstand ten moves from him.

He hoped that these two people could bring him a carefree battle!

This was also the only reason why he could tolerate Clemente's arrogance.

At this moment, he did not wait for Bartholomew to make a move.

Clemente held his longsword and took the initiative to make a move. His entire body turned into a ray of light and shot towards Bartholomew.

Valentine was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately reacted and rushed over together with Clemente.

Seeing this scene, Bartholomew laughed lightly and shook his head.

"It seems that I'm overthinking things. You guys don't have the ability to bring me a happy battle."

Bartholomew muttered to himself in a low voice, looking a little disappointed.

'I'll let you four so-called geniuses see the true gap between us.'

With this thought in mind, Bartholomew looked at the two people who had turned into streams of light and shot over. Bartholomew did not resist at all.

Instead, he closed his eyes and opened his arms, as if he was welcoming the attacks of the two people.

Seeing this, Valentine was pleasantly surprised. Bartholomew was so careless. The two people might really have a chance to defeat him!

If this attack of theirs killed Bartholomew directly, then they would definitely cause a huge wave in the plane of slaughter!

His name, Valentine, would forever be engraved in history!

As for whether the Slaughter Divine Kingdom would take revenge?

He was overthinking.

As long as he could kill Bartholomew, it would prove that he was stronger than him!

The Slaughter Divine Kingdom would only choose to recruit him, not kill him!

This was the logic of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom's powerhouses!

Simple yet effective!

When Clemente saw this scene, he frowned, unlike Valentine.

Although Bartholomew was crude, no one who had come this far was an idiot. He also didn't think that Bartholomew had done this out of arrogance.

He felt that there must be a reason why Bartholomew dared to do this.

Perhaps this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to make them lower their guard!

A bad premonition rose in Clemente's heart but he couldn't stop.

This attack could only move forward! He could not retreat!

In an instant, the two of them gripped their longswords tightly and thrust them at Bartholomew's body.

Clang!

Clang!

Two crisp sounds of metal clashing rang out.

The loud sound even caused ripples to appear in the air, as though a stone had been thrown into the calm surface of the water.

Although the people from the two empires could not see clearly because of the spatial ripples, they did see the two geniuses stab Bartholomew!

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

Was what they saw real?

Everyone was stunned and stood rooted to the ground.

After that, everyone reacted and a huge surprise appeared on their faces.

The number one genius of the two empires had actually stabbed Bartholomew?

It seemed like the super-genius of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom was not as powerful as the rumors said!

They were saved!

However, unlike the people from the two empires, Clemente and Valentine, who were holding long swords, had solemn expressions on their faces.

They could feel that the long sword in their hands did not pierce into Bartholomew's body.

Instead, it was as if it had pierced into another even harder weapon!

Not long after, the space ripples that had been stirred up gradually calmed down.

When everyone saw the scene clearly, all the pleasant surprises disappeared, and everyone was stunned again.

A deep sense of despair rose in everyone's hearts.

They saw that Bartholomew was still standing in his previous position.

Two holes appeared on the armor on his chest, and two wisps of white smoke rose from it.

But there was not the slightest bit of blood!

Through the holes, everyone saw that there were only two faint white marks on Bartholomew's chest where he had been stabbed. Even his skin had not been scratched.

The number one genius of the two empires could not even cause a wound on him?
