Chapter 787: You, Deserve to Die!
In fact, with Lachlan’s true strength, killing Aidyn and his father and son would have been an easy task. Even in the later stage of Nascent Soul, they could be easily killed with a single mistake.
Moreover, they were pseudo-Nascent Soul and pseudo-Golden Core experts who had enhanced their strength by absorbing the power of blood essence.
However, being in the Bloodline Ancient Domain, Lachlan suppressed his own strength when not facing a life-threatening situation. “Consider it a honing of my combat skills,” Lachlan thought to himself as he engaged in a relatively intense battle with the Neal family father and son.
Finally, after dozens of exchanges, Lachlan seized an opportunity.
He swung his metal staff, forcefully knocking Obadiah’s weapon out of his hand and smashing it hard against his head.
The sound of the skull shattering filled the air, and red and white matter scattered.
Among the three members of the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association, Obadiah, the weakest in strength, was instantly killed by Lachlan’s strike.
“Obadiah!”
“Brother!”
Barret and Aidyn cried out in anger upon witnessing Obadiah’s death.
Especially Barret, seeing his second son dying before his eyes, filled him with even greater grief and fury. Despite his cold nature, it was still his own son.
Aidyn’s eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness as he launched a full-scale attack on Lachlan. Lachlan repeatedly claimed to have killed Ryan, which drove Aidyn to the brink of madness.
Clang! Clang! Clang! For a while, the air was filled with energy, blood surged, and the sounds of weapons clashing were incessant.
After completely eliminating the Azure Wolf squad, other members of the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association joined the battle, and Lachlan had already fought with the two for over a hundred moves.
Finally, at this moment, Lachlan seized the opportunity. With his suppressed strength, he unleashed the Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan Ninth Form with his metal staff. This strike, even with Lachlan’s suppressed strength, was devastating.
At the same time, it sent Aidyn and Barret flying. Both of them coughed up blood in mid-air. Upon landing, Barret’s chest collapsed, and his body twitched a few times before he ceased to breathe, meeting his demise.
Aidyn, whose strength had reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, managed to vomit a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up. However, at that moment, a foot came down heavily on his head.
“Lachlan! Lachlan!”
“I’ll kill you! Ahh!”
“I’ll kill you…”
Aidyn’s face was pressed against the ground, his features distorted, and he let out a resentful roar. “Kill me? Just because you think you can outwit me and play both sides? Do you know that in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are meaningless?”
Lachlan sneered, his tone mocking and taunting.
Aidyn desperately struggled, but he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. His body writhed, but his head remained firmly pinned to the ground. At this moment, he finally realized that he was no match for Lachlan.
Seeing his father and younger brother dead, and realizing he might not escape death himself, Aidyn’s greatest concern now was the fate of his son, Ryan.
“Lachlan, tell me! Is Ryan really dead?” At this moment, a glimmer of humanity seemed to emanate from Aidyn’s despicable nature. He asked the question that weighed heavily on his mind.
“Yes!” Lachlan nodded, his tone resolute.
“How did Ryan die?” Aidyn growled, his voice filled with sorrow and anger.
“Just like this.” Before Lachlan’s words even finished, he lifted his right foot and stomped down heavily.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Aidyn hadn’t even grasped the meaning of those words when his head exploded. He was stomped to death by Lachlan, just like his son. “Fiona, Uncle Morrison, I guess I helped you let out a sigh of relief!”
After killing Aidyn, Lachlan muttered softly. In the next moment, with cold eyes, he scanned the members of the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association.
In an instant, all the members of the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association revealed their weapons, ready for a formidable enemy.
Thelma glanced at the bodies of Barret and his sons, her beautiful face filled with fear and horror as she stared at Lachlan.
Seeing their stance, Lachlan sneered and asked Thelma, “What’s the matter? Do you want to avenge them?”
Thelma’s eyes flickered, and she quickly shook her head, saying, “No! I don’t!”
“No? You’re also a Neal by name, aren’t you related to them?” Lachlan asked. Thelma swallowed her saliva and said, “I’m distantly related to them, not just a distant relative. As you can see, my strength in the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association is not high. If you kill them, it doesn’t concern me! As long as you spare us, we have no intention of seeking revenge.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the others in the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association looked at each other and put down their weapons.
Jokingly, even Aidyn, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, was no match for Lachlan, let alone all of them together.
Besides, even though Thelma and Aidyn were not close relatives, even if they were, Thelma wouldn’t sacrifice herself for Aidyn’s sake, knowing full well that she was no match for Lachlan.
Seeing the reactions of these people, a mocking smile appeared on Lachlan’s face. He surveyed them once again, his gaze finally falling on Thelma.
In a chilling tone, he said, “Spare you? Others may be considered, but you?”
At this point, Lachlan let out a cold snort and uttered two words, “Equally damned!”
This Thelma, he had saved her life before. And she should have known that Barret and Aidyn wanted to plot against him, but she didn’t offer any help.
He didn’t expect her to fight against the Neal father and son, but at least she could have secretly warned him or helped him escape.
Yet Thelma stood by so coldly, waiting to see how the Neal father and son would kill him. This ignited a strong desire for vengeance in Lachlan’s heart towards this woman in blue.
With that said, he walked step by step towards Thelma. Thelma felt Lachlan’s killing intent and immediately paled, panicking as she retreated. The others in the Frigid Dawn Wandering Cultivators Association, seeing this, scattered, afraid of being implicated. “No! Don’t kill me!” she pleaded.
“As long as you spare me, I’ll tell you where the ‘Lachie Fire’ Security Group is! Don’t kill me, I’ll tell you everything!”
