Chapter 835: Unfortunately, I’m not worthy.
Lachlan stood there, casting a glance at Manfred and then at Raphael. A trace of subtle coldness flashed in his starry eyes.
On his fists, a mixture of earthy yellow and blue light surged, ready to respond to whatever may come.
“Lachlan, what do you think?” Raphael turned his head and asked again.
“Heh…” Lachlan chuckled indifferently.
In the next moment, his gaze turned sharp, and he thrust his fists forward with great force. Meanwhile, Manfred swung his longsword with all his might.
A fiery red sword radiance tore through space, distorting the air as it shot out.
Pshht!
In an instant, the sword radiance pierced through Raphael, who stood in the middle, without any hesitation. He froze completely, unable to believe what had just happened. His eyes widened in disbelief.
At the same time, two fist imprints rushed forward and collided with the fiery red sword radiance.
Boom!
Powerful energy dispersed, and the two fist imprints vanished instantly. However, the Fire God Sword’s power was reduced to only thirty percent, continuing its trajectory toward Lachlan.
Lachlan snorted coldly and struck out with a punch, dispersing the remaining force of the attack. The Fire God Sword, which could harm a Void Reclusion early-stage expert, was neutralized by Lachlan in this manner.
Phew!
Meanwhile, Raphael’s body fell to the ground.
Lachlan ignored him, took a step forward, and carried a pervasive murderous intent as he charged toward Manfred.
“How is this possible?”
“My move, Fire God Sword, is enough to harm a Void Reclusion early-stage expert! Yet… it was neutralized!” Manfred’s face displayed both unwillingness and shock.
“Just because it can harm a Void Reclusion early-stage expert, does it mean it can harm me?”
“Die!”
Lachlan sneered coldly and activated his physical force field. Powerful gravity acted upon Manfred, causing him, who was still in shock, to stagger forward.
It appeared as if Manfred leaned in, and in conjunction with Lachlan, he received a devastating punch to the head.
Phew!
In the next instant, the solid fist imprint thunderously struck Manfred’s head.
The genius at the peak of the Nascent Soul later stage fell on the spot, dead and without a complete body. Using the Fire God Sword had depleted him greatly.
He couldn’t withstand a single blow from Lachlan and had no power to resist.
He didn’t even have a chance to discard the Boundary Talisman and escape from the Mirror of Trials.
At this moment, Lachlan coldly turned his head and looked at Raphael.
His gaze fell upon the transparent hole in Raphael’s chest, surrounded by charred marks.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
His heart and lungs had long been pierced through.
Even with Lachlan’s Dragon’s Energy Primordial Technique, he didn’t dare claim that he could save such injuries.
Moreover, even if he could, Lachlan wouldn’t save him.
“I told you to get out of the way. This has nothing to do with you.”
“Why did you have to interfere?” Lachlan shook his head, with a hint of mockery and lament in his voice.
How could he not know that Raphael’s actions just now were actually buying time for Manfred?
However, judging from the aura emitted by Manfred during his preparation, Lachlan believed that even if the Fire God Sword was unleashed, he wouldn’t be instantly killed by the opponent.
Furthermore, Raphael had finally done him a favor.
If it weren’t for Raphael introducing Kyrie to him, Nora would have suffered countless pain.
In the end, Lachlan still considered this favor and didn’t directly attack Raphael. At this moment, Raphael lay there, with a strong self-mockery and apology on his face before his imminent death.
“Raphael… I’m… sorry!”
“You are… a friend… worth having…”
“But unfortunately… I, Raphael… am not deserving…”
With those words, Mr. Macdonald took his last breath, losing all signs of life.
The words of a dying man hold great weight!
Raphael truly felt regret before his death.
Indeed!
No matter how much he calculated, he could never have foreseen that he would be the one to scheme his own demise.
He believed that Lachlan, based on their friendship, would spare him.
And in that regard, he was right!
Lachlan indeed did not lay a hand on him.
But he never anticipated that Manfred would be so ruthless. In the moment when the Fire God Sword was ready to strike, Manfred launched his attack without any regard for Raphael’s well-being.
There are many people in this world like that.
Those who care about you, but you don’t care about them, instead seeking the favor of someone who doesn’t care about you at all.
In the end, left with nothing!
How pitiful, how lamentable!
Lachlan shook his head, picking up the scattered Boundary Talismans from the ground, then quickly left the scene.
In this Mirror of Trials, no one can guarantee one hundred percent safety.
A fierce battle erupting here might attract other participants.
And as expected, shortly after Lachlan’s departure, several figures rushed in from different directions.
They even began to fight each other.
Outside, on the spectator stands!
Many people witnessed the outcome of this battle and their faces expressed astonishment.
“Who is this young man? Such formidable combat prowess.”
“Yes, although only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I feel his true combat power far surpasses even the peak of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Even an early-stage Void Reclusion expert probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him.”
“Thunder and Lightning Constitution, Rich Soil Unyielding Form-two extraordinary traits! It’s just hard to discern the embryonic form of the Dao he has mastered.”
“Originally, it was meant to be a collective attack, but in the end, it became a one-man show.”
“This young man seems to be the young master of the Sun Moon Sect!”
“The Sun Moon Sect? The sect that was crippled by the Broken Pulse Sect and relegated to a hidden realm?”
“The Sun Moon Sect, could it be that they have successors and are about to rise again?”
The onlookers observed the entourages of various factions involved in this battle and couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.
As for those who paid attention to Lachlan, including Elder Fiery Dragon, Sullivan of the Broken Pulse Sect, the Ancient Willis family, Claudia, and others, their reactions varied.
However, the Ancient Macdonald family, whose genius had just died, had an elder accompanying them whose face was filled with gloom and anger.
“Damn it! The young master of the Sun Moon Sect, Lachlan, right?”
“To kill the geniuses of our clan without showing any mercy, the Macdonald family will make note of this debt!”
“Let’s wait and see!”
The elder gritted his teeth, his tone and gaze filled with murderous intent.
However, as soon as he uttered those words, a cold voice resounded directly in his ear.
“In the Star Path Seed Selection Tournament, fighting is inevitable!
Any individual or sect that dares to seek revenge afterward will face the harshest punishment from the Orderwarden Organization.
The extermination of sects is not out of the question! Hmph!”
Upon hearing these words, Old Macdonald’s face turned pale, and his whole body trembled.
He looked towards the high platform of the martial arena and saw Elder Skywalker staring at him with a stern expression!
“I dare not!”
Old Macdonald swallowed his saliva, shook his head reluctantly, and suppressed the resentment in his heart!
