Chapter 377 Standing Up for Lachlannovelbin
Among the members of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, there were a few particularly powerfulfamilies: the Hernandez family in Nading State, the Wynter family from Yeginia, Golden Blade Sectfrom Lison City, and Great Origin Sect from Northern Territory.
Arlo was surprised to see Lachlan daring to challenge him. He wondered if he was affiliated withone of the other three families.
"Mr. Hernandez, his name is Landon and he's a participant from the Graham family," said a femaledisciple of Hudpids Sect who sat behind the inn counter with a hint of disdain in her voice.
She had just received Lachlan and his companions and remembered them well.
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar on the first floor of the inn. Everyone looked at Lachlan withdisbelief in their eyes.
Arlo and his entourage even laughed out loud. "Damn it! I thought it was someone powerful comingout of some big clan or sect. It turns out to be that declining Graham family?"
Arlo sneered coldly before asking Lachlan harshly, "If you don't agree with me, then let's have aone-on-one fight."
Lachlan's eyes flashed coldly upon hearing this as he turned to ask that female disciple fromHudpids Sect, "Is this allowed by rules?"
The woman curled her lips, "Although fighting is not allowed before the competition officially starts, ifthere are any deep-seated grudges between participants, then they can apply for a fight where lifeor death doesn't matter."
She continued sarcastically, "What? Do you really want to try your luck against Mr. Hernandez? Heis already at peak Uppecia realm which is only one step away from Core Formation Realm. If youwant to die, then I can register your fight for approval."
Hearing this caused an uproar among everyone present as they looked at Arlo in amazement. "Hereally deserves being part of one of strongest ancient martial arts families - reaching peak Uppeciarealm so young!"
"Young man, you better know when to back down," advised another person. "A weakling like youcoming out here representing the Graham family acting tough isn't going do anything good foryourself."
"Exactly!" agreed another person. "You got kicked by someone belonging to the Hernandez familyso just swallow your pride instead!"
People spoke both maliciously or kindly towards him but all that could be seen was determinationon Lachlan's face as he nodded firmly, "Alright! Then I'll have my one-on-one battle against you!"
At this moment, Lachlan, after absorbing the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, was at the peak of hisUppecia stage again. His true combat power had once again increased compared to when hedefeated Hawkeye Ghost.
He was confident that defeating "Mr. Hernandez" only required him to exert 20% of his strength andwould not expose too much.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Lachlan with a hint of surprise. They didn'texpect him to actually agree.
The female disciple from Hudpids Sect paused for a moment before sneering, "You're really lookingfor death!"
Arlo chuckled and looked at Lachlan with a sinister expression, "Good! Since you want to die sobadly, I'll grant your wish. Let's go outside!"
"Just wait a minute!"
However, just then, a clear voice rang out.
Lachlan heard the voice and turned around in surprise.
He recognized it as Savannah's disguised voice after she dressed up as a man.
The next second, the genius girl from the Graham family walked quickly over with an angry look inher eyes and stood between Lachlan and Arlo coldly saying, "I'll fight him instead of you steppingaside."
"And who are you?" Arlo asked coldly with disdainful laughter.
"I'm also from the Graham family. I will fight you on behalf of him. Do you dare?" Savannah saidcoldly.
She had just finished tidying up her room and decided to go out for some fresh air while admiringthe scenery outside when she witnessed what happened earlier.
To her surprise, Lachlan who previously did not have the courage to fight against the Wood familymembers now wanted to challenge Arlo? Was this guy trying to commit suicide?
Didn't he hear that Arlo was already at Uppecia peak level?
Lachlan looked at Savannah with meaningful eyes; he didn't expect her to stand up for him duringsuch times.
"Tsk tsk... The Graham family only has two participating disciples? Are they all rushing towards theirdeaths?" mocked the female disciple from Hudpids Sect behind their counter.
Hearing this remark caused everyone present there except for Savannah and Lachlan shake theirheads in disapproval.
"Oh? Only two people? Then today I must kill one! Hahaha..." said Arlo arrogantly while grinningwidely.
He flashed a fierce look in his eyes and pointed to the door, saying to Lachlan and Savannah, "Idon't care who comes or if you both come together! Let's go! This guy just said he wants tocompete with me and determine life or death. The girl from Hudpids Sect has already passed ourduel application, so it's too late for her to back out now! Hahaha..."
"I want you guys to know what real strength is! If you don't have the strength but still act arrogant,then you must pay a heavy price."
At this point, everyone looked at Lachlan with disdain and disbelief.
"Yeah, what's the point of acting tough when you have no power?"
"And why would he want to compete with someone else over life or death? The Hernandez familygenius is already at the peak of Uppecia in such a young age. How can anyone compare?"
"Just take a kick and endure it."
"If you're weak, then keep your temper under control."
"Now they only have two people from the Graham family left. If one more falls today they'll bekicked out of Ancient Martial Arts Alliance altogether."
"What an idiot who doesn't understand restraint!"
Hearing these comments made Savannah feel angry towards Lachlan.
But things had come this far; she couldn't let Arlo disable or even kill him. She had no choice but tofight on his behalf.
She was also at the peak of Uppecia later stage; she should have some chance of winning.
Even if she lost, surely she wouldn't lose her life?
"Alright! I'll go out there with you!"
Savannah thought so as she nodded her head readying herself for battle.
Lachlan pulled her back, "I appreciate your kindness but I can handle my own affairs."
Upon hearing this statement, Savannah glared at him furiously feeling annoyed that he was beingridiculous, "Your own affairs? You think I'm willing to help cover up your mistakes? Do you knowhow much the competition means?"
"Because of your impulsiveness, if something happens, we will be done for!"
"Get lost! Move aside!"
Savannah's beautiful eyes turned red as she shouted loudly towards Lachlan.
Everyone watched this scene unfold before them showing expressions filled with ridicule andmockery casting their gaze upon Lachlan which were full of contemptuousness and disdainful looks.
"What's going on here?" Suddenly a cold voice rang out.
Three women walked into the inn, frowning at the chaos they saw.
