Chapter 288 On the Brink of Death
Lachlan’s gaze was incredibly heavy at this moment!
Not only was this blood-robed old man unfathomable in strength, making it impossible for him to see through, but the killing intent emanating from him was also terrifying. This person had an extremely strong desire to kill him!
“Who are you?” Lachlan asked in a deep voice.
“What kind of person am I? You killed my disciple and already forgot so soon?” Hawkeye Ghost asked with a fierce tone.
Lachlan’s expression froze as he suddenly thought of something. “You’re Butch Ghost’s master?”
The evil aura emanating from the old man was very similar to that of Butch Ghost, which made Lachlan guess what was going on.
“Now that you know, come and I’ll take your life!” Hawkeye Ghost said fiercely.
As he spoke, he carried a terrifying and violent aura as he charged towards Lachlan. He slapped his palm towards Lachlan with blood-red light surging over his hand like wearing bloody gloves.
Lachlan’s pupils shrank dramatically as he felt powerless against this attack! He shouted angrily and quickly raised both arms to block it while mobilizing the thick dragon true energy within his body to form a solid protective energy around his body surface.
Pong pong!
Only seeing those solid arms of Lachlan being easily pushed away by Hawkeye Ghost’s palm without any suspense. With an open door before him, Hawkeye Ghost heavily imprinted on Lachlan’s chest!
With a muffled sound accompanying it, Lachlan’s body flew out instantly while spitting out blood in mid-air. The protective energy surrounding his body surface had been directly shattered by Hawkeye Ghost’s palm strike.
After landing on the ground again, there were thick horror colors revealed in his eyes. His Uppecia mid-stage strength couldn’t even withstand one blow from the opponent?
The old man turned out to be… a Core Formation stage powerhouse?
“Hmm? No wonder you could kill Butch; turns out you’re an Uppecia powerhouse!”
“I have to admit that having such strength at such age is indeed extraordinary!”
At this point, there appeared a cruel grin on Hawkeye Ghost’s old face which looked like wrinkles squeezed together resembling that of some bloody ghost during broad daylight giving off an eerie feeling.
“But! I love killing geniuses most! Hahaha…”
Lachlan snorted coldly with unwillingness filling up in his eyes.
Now well aware of his own physical condition, the strike from the opponent just now had dealt severe damage to his internal organs. The vast power gap between a mid-Uppecia and a Core Formation opponent was enough to induce despair.
Lachlan wasn’t one to give up easily, even when faced with a huge power gap against his opponent in the mid-stage of Uppecia battling Core Formation.
“You won’t kill me that easily!” he shouted as he charged towards his opponent with a crazed look in his eyes. He knew running away wasn’t an option, so he had to fight for his life.
With a loud boom, Lachlan’s foot slammed into the ground just two meters away from his opponent and unleashed Pulse of the Earth – his strongest attack yet.
This mystic technique not only possesses formidable power but also has a brief stunning effect. Moreover, it can bypass certain surface defenses, directly injuring the opponent’s internal organs. As Lachlan took a step, the earth seemed to tremble, and the surrounding ground cracked in a horrifying manner.
Hawkeye Ghost grunted, feeling a buzzing sensation in his head, and his blood surged within his body.
“Kill!”
Seizing this opportunity, Lachlan gathered all his strength and delivered a fierce blow to Hawkeye Ghost’s chest. Accompanied by a muffled sound, Hawkeye Ghost’s body was sent flying. However, the next moment, a look of horror appeared in Lachlan’s eyes.
A deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart!
Stomp, stomp, stomp!
After landing, Hawkeye Ghost retreated a few steps and stood firm. His face also revealed a trace of shock. A unhealthy flush passed over his face.
The combination of Pulse of the Earth and Lachlan’s full-force strike had managed to inflict a minor injury on him.
“I never thought that, crossing such a significant realm, you could still injure me?” Hawkeye Ghost’s face showed a mix of surprise and anger. He then sneered, “Good! Good! This makes it even more interesting! Killing such a cultivating genius will be truly fulfilling! Hehehe…”
As he spoke, accompanied by a sinister wind and ghostly laughter, Hawkeye Ghost transformed into a blood-colored afterimage and attacked Lachlan.
Lachlan roared, ready to fight to the death. However, a solid blood-colored palm imprint was already harshly pressed against his abdomen, sending him flying once again.
In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, struggling seemed to become utterly meaningless.
“Wow!”
Upon landing this time, Lachlan felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and blood gushed out in large spurts. Mixed within was some minced internal organs. Even bloodstains seeped from his nostrils and ears.
As the man a Core Formation expert, these two palms were not to be taken lightly.
The first strike had already left Lachlan severely injured!
The second palm brought the smell of death to Lachlan’s nose.
At this point, his internal organs were shattered and displaced, and his entire meridian system was in disarray. Even the true energy within his body seemed to have been dispersed as if by a violent shock.
“Hmm? You’re not dead yet?” Hawkeye Ghost was surprised to see that Lachlan had not been killed yet.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The next second, he snorted coldly and cruelly, “Just struggling to survive! In that case, I’ll add another palm!”
As he spoke, Hawkeye Ghost took step by step towards Lachlan, his eyes filled with an increasing amount of murderous intent.
The blood-red true energy on the palm became more powerful and terrifying!
Lachlan sat there, gritting his teeth and glaring at the old man.
Just beneath the surface of his eyes, there was a hint of despair.
At this point, he was almost dying. Lachlan knew that if he were to receive another slap, he would undoubtedly die!
Hehe, am I going to die right here today?
The curse inside Nora’s body had not been lifted yet!
The great revenge of his parents had not been taken yet!
There were still many things that had not been completed…
“Stop!”
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
Swipe!
Looking towards the sound, he saw an old man with a tall stature and dressed in a cyan robe rushing towards them at high speed.
He deliberately exuded a powerful and intimidating aura from his body.
As Hawkeye Ghost was about to take down Lachlan, he suddenly noticed a change in his opponent’s expression and hesitated for a moment.
“Hmm? A strong cultivator in the mid-stage of Core Formation?” He said with uncertainty and suspicion.
Lachlan, who had already smelled the scent of death, also showed a look of doubt and uncertainty.
“Stop!”
After the old man in the cyan robe rushed over, he stood directly between Lachlan and Hawkeye Ghost, and shouted at the latter in a stern voice.
“Who are you? Are you going to help this guy?” Hawkeye Ghost asked in a cold and sinister tone.
“I am Raul Graham, former head of the Graham family. Friend, you have committed murder within our territory. Have you asked the Graham family about this?” The old man in the cyan robe asked coldly!
