Chapter 965: Can’t Hold On
Master Chandler had already contacted Harlow, who was waiting there, through special means.
At this moment, realizing that he might be caught by the young strong pursuers before Harlow arrived, he gritted his teeth and stopped.
He wanted to buy time!
In his view, with the terrifying power of the Soul Void Witch, as long as he could delay until Harlow arrived, he would be safe.
“Why are you being hunted down? You know very well yourself!” Lachlan’s face showed a cold expression, and he spoke through gritted teeth.
“The one who broke my Dragon-Trap Large Formation, was it you?” Master Chandler stared at Lachlan, unsure and suspicious.
“Yes! Setting up such a vicious and heinous killing formation, you deserve to die!” Lachlan’s tone was icy.
“How did you break it?” Master Chandler’s eyes flickered as he continued to use words to stall for time with Lachlan.
“Formations are only effective against those whose strength is lower or similar to the one who set it up! When the opponent’s strength completely surpasses the one who set it up, it can be easily broken!” Lachlan sneered.
“Who are you?” Master Chandler’s face turned grim.
Bang!Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
At this moment, Lachlan no longer wasted words with him and charged forward like a cannonball.
“Damn it!” Master Chandler cursed under his breath, not expecting Lachlan to directly choose to attack.
He quickly raised his energy and spirit to the peak. Despite his aged body, a powerful aura emanated from him.
With the strength of Early-stage Hollow Void and his mastery of Earth’s Rules, he pushed his abilities to the limit.
“Get lost!” Master Chandler roared, a skeletal staff emerging from his back and swinging towards Lachlan.
The staff emitted a ghostly wail, forming a ghastly head that lunged at Lachlan with a menacing snarl.
Lachlan snorted disdainfully and punched out!
The ghostly head disintegrated into ashes under his punch.
The attack from an Early-stage Hollow Void was nothing in front of Lachlan.
At this moment, Master Chandler’s pupils contracted sharply, and he was utterly horrified.
He could tell that Lachlan’s Qi Refinement strength was only at Mid-stage Hollow Void.
Although it was one small realm higher than his own, Master Chandler thought he could at least hold out against Lachlan for a while.
But the power of Lachlan’s punch made him feel an extreme sense of danger.
Swish!
At this moment, Lachlan had already closed in, another fist imprint mixed with golden light and lightning snakes crashing towards him fiercely.
Simultaneously, the gravitational field of his body activated!
In his panic and attempt to flee, Master Chandler’s body froze momentarily.
He could only grit his teeth and counterattack, the skeletal staff glowing with earthy yellow and black light, colliding with the fist imprint with all his might.
At the same time, his entire body’s true energy condensed on the surface, forming an incredibly solid protective shield.
Crack!
In the next instant, the fist imprint directly shattered the skeletal staff.
Then, carrying terrifying residual power, it landed heavily on Master Chandler’s body.
Now that Lachlan had comprehended the first key aspect of Divine Beast Wildernesses Fist, his attacks were more than three times stronger than a day ago!
With each punch, his muscles resonated and amplified at a high frequency, delivering attacks in the manner of this physical martial technique.
Even though the attacks were not purely physical but rather fist imprints condensed from true energy, their power still received significant amplification.
Puff!
Master Chandler’s protective true energy was shattered directly by Lachlan’s attack.
Then his entire body was sent flying, spitting blood.
His aged body fell to the ground like a broken sack.
During the Mirror of Trials, Lachlan could effortlessly kill an Early-stage Hollow Void; now it was even easier.
“Ugh!” Master Chandler spat out another mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments. In endless despair, fear, and unwillingness, he felt his already weak life force rapidly draining from his body.
Originally, he had set up the Nine-Cat Life-Prolonging Formation in hopes of extending his life.
But unexpectedly, it brought about his death instead.
Once Lachlan made a move, there was no way he could hold on until anyone came to help him.
The next second, Lachlan walked over to Master Chandler’s corpse, rummaged through it, and found a decent-quality storage bag.
