Chapter 834: Deliberate Delay



Lachlan’s fierceness completely surpassed the expectations of the Macdonald family members.

His combat power was terrifying.

Deep down, Manfred was starting to regret his previous opposition to Raphael’s suggestion of accepting Lachlan.

But it was too late now!

Both sides had already begun fighting, with no possibility of reconciliation.

Only one side could be eliminated or voluntarily withdraw from the Mirror of Trials.

And Manfred absolutely refused to be the one eliminated.

He still had a path to follow.

“Hold him back with all your might! Once I unleash my Fire God Sword, I can definitely kill him!”

Manfred shouted at his companions.

The Fire God Sword wasn’t a Divine Weapon; it was his ultimate move.

Manfred had previously used this move to injure a powerful Void Reclusion expert within the family.

He firmly believed that as long as he used the “Fire God Sword,” he would be able to severely wound or even kill Lachlan.

However, this technique required time to gather true energy and power.

Therefore, he needed others to buy him time.

As soon as Manfred’s words fell, the other seven surviving individuals’ eyes lit up.

Previously, some of them had even entertained thoughts of retreating, wanting to give up the Boundary Talisman and leave the Mirror of Trials.

But when Manfred spoke, they all showed signs of action.

It had been mentioned before that in order to cross from the Nascent Soul Realm to Void Reclusion, one needed to break through to the Internal Fusion Realm and perfect the embryonic form of the Laws of Heaven’s Path.

The Ancient Macdonald family possessed a pool for this purpose, a pool of enlightenment.

Within the pool of enlightenment, the family had extracted liquid from the Enlightenment Bodhi, a divine tree left behind from ancient times.

Meditating and cultivating inside it not only enhanced spiritual power but also greatly improved the comprehension of the Laws of Heaven’s Path.

It was safe to say that the embryonic form of the ordinary Five Elements Path could be perfected into the true Five Elements Path after entering the pool of enlightenment.

Manfred’s promise undoubtedly made people envious. Even Raphael, who had previously withdrawn from the battle, showed a look of longing.

Swish, swish, swish…

Seven figures simultaneously attacked Lachlan, blocking him and creating time for Manfred to gather power.

This time, these seven individuals had become clever.

They didn’t intend to kill Lachlan; their goal was only to delay time.

So, they adopted a strategy of avoiding direct confrontation and focusing on lighter attacks.

At the same time, Manfred held his sword with both hands, the tip pointing towards the sky, his expression solemn as he stood there.

When he awakened, Manfred had a fire attribute physique and possessed the embryonic form of the Fire Path.

At this moment, flames-like true energy surged throughout Manfred’s body.

The true energy within him crazily surged from his dantian, pouring into the long sword in his hand, causing it to emit a red glow.

“Delay me?”

“Just with all of you?”

Lachlan sneered at this moment, facing the restraint of the seven individuals, unleashing an even more formidable combat power. He used his palms as if they were blades, employing the Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan sword technique barehanded.

With the improvement of his strength, the effectiveness of the Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan technique’s attacks, which doubled with each accumulation, gradually diminished. After all, this technique couldn’t be so abnormal as to defy the heavens. Just imagine, if Lachlan reached the Fragmentation Void Realm and the attacks were accumulated to nearly ten times their original power, it would be too terrifying. Therefore, this technique had a significant effect when Lachlan’s realm was low. Even the final strike, which could directly drain all of Lachlan’s true energy, multiplying the attack exponentially, became inconsequential as his strength increased. Nonetheless, the augmentation of the Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan technique’s attacks against Lachlan should not be underestimated. The Ninth Form could still triple Lachlan’s attack power. The extent of this power was unimaginable.

Swish!

Swish! Swish…

Lachlan used his hand as a blade, unleashing the Sky-Cleaving Startled Swan Ninth Form in all directions, sending out waves of blade energy.

Puh, puh, puh…

The bodies of the seven individuals were extremely fragile in the face of the blade energy, utterly defenseless.

Almost every single one of them was annihilated by Lachlan within a time span of less than ten seconds.

Want to restrain him?

Only those with similar strength could achieve that!

In front of Lachlan, they were nothing more than instant kills.

What restraint could they possibly offer?

“You worthless fools!”

“A bunch of worthless fools!”

“Damn it! I was just about to complete my buildup!”

Manfred’s expression twisted with unwillingness and frustration upon seeing this.

In his hand, the sword had already turned a burning red, assuming a semi-transparent state as if it couldn’t withstand the melting.

The Fire God Sword was about to complete its buildup.

However, at this moment, Lachlan had already killed all seven other experts from the Macdonald family and, with a flick of his foot, charged towards Manfred.

Swish!

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed out and appeared between Lachlan and Manfred.

“Lachlan, stop!”

This person was Raphael.

“Hmm?”

Lachlan raised an eyebrow, freezing in place.

“Raphael, what are you doing?”

Raphael’s gaze flickered briefly. He first made eye contact with Manfred, then turned to Lachlan and said, “Lachlan, there’s no need to go to such extremes. You can kill the others, but show mercy to Mr. Macdonald. Otherwise, the Ancient Macdonald family won’t let it slide.”

He then looked at Manfred and continued, “Mr. Macdonald, how about interrupting the Fire God Sword?”

While saying this, he exchanged a glance with Manfred, a look that clearly implied… to let him… continue.

That gaze was clearly suggesting to Manfred…

To keep going.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

That’s right! On the surface, Raphael was trying to persuade Lachlan.

But his true intention was to buy time for Manfred.

Who said restraint had to be achieved through force?

Isn’t it more clever to use words and make Lachlan pause?

Raphael, using the slight bond he had with Lachlan, aimed to help Manfred.

He believed that Lachlan wouldn’t ignore their relationship and kill him directly.

As long as he could delay Lachlan until he could unleash the Fire God Sword and kill him, he would gain Manfred’s favor.

In the future, when he broke through the bottleneck of Void Reclusion, he could spend three days in the Ancient Macdonald family’s Enlightenment Pool!

Such temptation was irresistible to Raphael.

Compared to his meager relationship with Lachlan, what did it matter?
