Chapter 416 Why Should I Fear a Battle?
Lachlan drove the off-road vehicle at high speed, traveling between the foothills.
Although Miranda had said on the phone that if he couldn't make it back in time, Mason could just give up his power, Lachlan was taking a risk byleaving Hudpids Village.
But better safe than sorry!
Lachlan couldn't guarantee that after Mason announced joining the NC Organization at their underground meeting, they wouldn't turn against him orharm his father-in-law. So, taking risks himself instead of those around him seemed like a better option.
Perhaps Lachlan had always been an emotional creature who let feelings dominate over reason. This was evident from when he sold his kidney tosave his daughter and even went as far as to provoke others into attacking him for compensation.
The vehicle sped up and quickly arrived at the outskirts of Hudpids Mountains. It was still a rarely visited place, but along the way, Lachlanencountered several waves of vehicles from other clans participating in the Clan Grand Competition. These people were also leaving Hudpids Villagetoday and returning to their respective clans or sects.
However, at this moment, Lachlan's pupils contracted, and his expression changed. He saw a figure dressed in a green robe appear in the middle ofthe road about a hundred meters ahead of his car. A powerful aura locked onto his vehicle.
Lachlan inwardly sighed and thought that the expected trouble had indeed arrived. The information Hugo had revealed to him turned out to be true.
Taking a deep breath, he slowed down the car and parked it by the side of the read. Lachlan knew that even if he drove his car at the person standingthere without moving, it would be impossible to kill the Golden Core expert.
After getting out of the car, he stood about twenty meters away from the person, looking coldly at the Elder of the Verdant Pine, a hidden elder of theWood family.
"Are you here for me, sir?” Lachlan's starry eyes carried a hint of caution as he spoke in a deep voice.
The Elder of the Verdant Pine looked at Lachlan, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. He didn't expect Lachlan to stop the car himself and comedown willingly. Moreover, he remained so calm in the face of him. However, this only further aroused his killing intent.
He was already aware of Lachlan being a perfect Uppecia in the Clan Grand Competition. This guy had been restraining himself throughout thecompetition and finally burst out with extraordinary strength. And now, he was displaying such calmness.
Such extraordinary talent and a resilient character, if not eliminated, would become a great threat in the future.
"That's right! I'm here for you,” the Elder of the Verdant Pine said with a smiling expression. "I heard that you are a genius with a perfect Uppecia, so Ithought of giving you some advice and testing your strength."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir, but I don't think it's necessary, right? I have some matters to attend to and needto rush back. Next time, I would like to seek guidance from you.”
The Elder of the Verdant Pine coldly snorted and said, “impudent! I kindly offer you some guidance, and you have the audacity to disregard it! Nexttime? Do you think I have nothing better to do than wait for you to seek guidance? Enough nonsense, prepare to defend yourself! I want to see if youtruly deserve the first place in the personal trial and if there's any trickery involved!"Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
As he spoke, a powerful aura surged from the Elder of the Verdant Pine's body, accompanied by a chilling killing intent that enveloped Lachlan.Upon hearing this, Lachlan's face completely darkened. "Sir, are you trying to kill me?”
At this point, the Elder of the Verdant Pine no longer concealed his intentions, and a cold expression appeared on his face
"So what if I am?" he replied.
"If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that you were born into the Graham family! Even if you're a genius, without anyone to protect you, youwon't be able to grow!" he said with disdain
"To snuff out a genius, it must be quite satisfying, isn't it?” Lachlan retorted.
You said you wanted to endure, so why didn't you endure until the end? It seems your character is lacking!” the Elder of the Verdant Pine sneered.“Remember this for your next life, be submissive until you've fully grown! Tuck your tail between your legs!" he added.
Screech! Screech...
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of brakes, several cars also stopped around them. It was evident that they had noticed the situation andwanted to see what was going on
Among the cars, it was none other than Nathaniel, along with Lightless and Black Star.“Nathaniel, isn't that Landon?" Lightless exclaimed in astonishment
Nathaniel nodded. "That old man in the green robe seems to be the representative sent by the Wood family this time. It seems like he intends to harmLandon. doesn't it?”
"What should we do then?" Lightless asked.
Black Star, esitting in the driver's seat,remainecsilent. Although he wasthe head of the NC Orga nization’sheadquarters in Kreanford, hisstatus was the lowest, and he didn'tdare to speak out of turn. Contentbélongs to NovelDrama.Org ~
Nathaniel replied with a touch ofannoyance, "What should we do? Inprevious Clas-Grand Competitions,the representatives sent by the fiveshidden férces were all experts abovethe Golden Core realm. If they wantto dea with Landon, what catywede2-Of course, we'll just stayin thecat and watch the show. Speakingof which, I don't have much of arelationship with Landon, so whyshould I stick up for him?" Contentbelongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Yes, you're right," Lightless reluctantly nodded.
Upon hearing this, Black Star also echoed a few words, indicating his approval and admiring the wisdom of Nathaniel.
The three of them focused their gaze on the scene, thinking that if a Golden Core expert wanted to kill Landon, he would surely be finished.At this moment, the Elder of the Verdant Pine took step by step toward Lachlan, and the killing intent seemed to grow stronger.
It seemed that he was truly enjoying the pleasure of snuffing out a genius, especially a genius from the Graham family.
‘If you kneet down and beg me now,I might.sHow mercy and only crippleyour cultivation, sparing your life,"the Elder of the Verdant Pine saidwith a sneering and cruel sinile.Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Lachlan stared intently at him, his whole being reaching its peak state
In his eyes, there was only an increasingly intense fighting spirit.
“Old man, if you want to kill me, ask the blade in my hand first!" Lachlan declared."So what if you're a Golden Core expert? Why should I fear fighting you?" he continued.
As he spoke, he took out the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade from his mustard seed bag. His momentum soared, and he was prepared to fight tothe death.
He wanted to see if he had the power to fight against a Golden Core expert.
Lachlan had just broken through to the Core Formation Realm and had further upgraded and strengthened his Pulse of the Earth technique.Moreover, he wielded the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade.
He had never thought of sitting around waiting for death, let alone begging for mercy on his knees.
“Young man, I admire your courage! But without strength, it's all just a joke!” the Elder of the Verdant Pine said, revealing a mocking and cruel smile"Since you don't know how to appreciate favors, then I'll send you on your way. Hahaha...”
The Elder of the Verdant Pine laughed wickedly and stomped his foot, turning into an afterimage as he charged toward Lachlan.
Boom!
However, in the next instant, a muffled sound rang out, and the Elder of the Verdant Pine, who had just "taken off," was sent flying.
"Wanted to kill him? Did you ask for my permission?” Following that, a deep and somewhat desolate voice resounded.
