Chapter 945: Stepping Through the Air
Adele turned to look at Lachlan, a mocking smile on her face.
“Heh… Lachlan, how could you be so… useless?”
Blood gushed from Adele’s mouth like a spring as she asked with a bitter smile.
While recovering from his injuries, Lachlan retorted, “Aren’t you… the same?”
Adele smiled self-deprecatingly, “I thought… breaking through to Fragmentation Void… would allow me to compete with any strong opponent…
But today… I’m going to die here…
And it’s with you… this bastard… dying… together…”
The proud daughter of Penglai Fairy Island seemed to harbor a trace of resentment towards Lachlan even in her final moments.
“Heh heh…”
Lachlan grinned but ignored her. He looked up at the sky, memories of Miranda’s voice and smile, and Nora’s dependent gaze flashing through his mind.
“Damn it! Are we really done for today? The Dragon Ancestor isn’t responding at all…”
“Wife, if I die, will you remember me? I wish I could see you one last time before I die.”
“Nora, you must stay strong! I fear I have to go ahead first!”
Lachlan had already begun contemplating his own end. He wasn’t afraid of death! What he felt was deep regret and concern!
“Hiss!”
At this moment, the enormous Python Monster lowered its head, its eyes larger than tires staring closely at Lachlan and Adele. There seemed to be a hint of human-like mockery and bloodlust in its gaze!
Its forked tongue slithered over Lachlan and Adele’s faces and bodies, as if savoring the taste of its prey. The stench of blood forced them to tightly shut their eyes.
Both Lachlan and Adele were severely injured, completely at the mercy of the monster.
In the distance, members of the Duncan family heard the silence and saw the massive body of the Python Monster winding around. Despair and panic filled their faces.
“It’s over!”
“Are Lachlan and Adele both done for?”
“Our Duncan family is finished too!”
Everyone was in a state of panic, as if the end of the world had arrived.
However, at this moment, a figure flew through the air at lightning speed towards the vertical-eyed Python Monster. The space around them seemed to shatter under the strain of their rapid movement.
“Vile creature! Prepare to die!”
A voice imbued with the power of heaven and earth echoed in the Python Monster’s ears, causing its massive body to tremble!
Lachlan and Adele, who had been waiting for death in despair, suddenly opened their eyes at the sound. Their eyes were filled with a mix of joy and astonishment!
A figure appeared, stepping through the air without any visible support. Even powerful Fragmented Void cultivators couldn’t fly for long periods unless they were body refiners like Lachlan who had reached the Sky Shaker realm, or… Great Vehicle stage experts!
“Hiss!”
The vertical-eyed Python Monster’s pupils shrank to pinpoints as it glanced at the approaching figure. In the next second, it opened its massive jaws and lunged at Lachlan and Adele, intending to swallow them whole!
This monster increased its cultivation by devouring living beings. Countless lives had been lost in its belly. Devouring strong individuals like Lachlan and Adele would significantly boost its power. It was stuck at the peak of Late-stage Fragmented Void and might break through to Great Vehicle stage by consuming them.
Even if it couldn’t immediately break through, escaping today and digesting Lachlan and Adele would still enhance its strength considerably.
But just then, a palm print descended from the sky. It grew larger with the wind and struck the Python Monster’s body.
Boom!
With a thunderous crash, the massive body of the Python Monster was sent flying by the palm print that seemed to cover the sky. Its jaws opened wide, spilling blood everywhere as it crashed into the ground, creating deep pits upon impact. Large patches of its scales fell off.
This single palm strike left the seemingly invincible monster in a miserable state.
“Hiss!”
While still in mid-air, the Python Monster transformed back into its black-robed human form, shrinking its target size. Its face was pale, with blood staining its mouth and body. Its vertical pupils glanced fearfully at the sky.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“A Great Vehicle stage expert? Damn it!”
“It’s someone from the Orderwarden organization! How did they find me so quickly?”
“How could they be so fast?”
The Black Robed Python Monster burrowed into the ground, fleeing desperately. It didn’t dare confront the figure in the sky.
“Trying to escape? Hmph!”
The airborne expert snorted coldly and descended like a meteor, also burrowing into the ground. They locked onto the Python Monster’s aura, not intending to let it escape.
“Whew…”
Lying on the ground, both Lachlan and Adele let out a sigh of relief.
Adele turned to look at Lachlan, gritting her teeth, “It seems our luck… isn’t too bad… I still have a chance to settle… the humiliation from Mirror of Trials with you!”
Lachlan grinned, “I think… you’ll only end up… humiliating yourself!”
The members of the Duncan family looked up at the sky, overwhelmed with excitement.
“Who is this powerful expert? They sent that monster flying with just one palm strike!”
“Which great figure is this?”
“Our Duncan family is saved!”
“This vile creature will finally be slain by someone!”
“Let’s go check on Adele and Lachlan!”
With that, the members of the Duncan family hurried towards the back mountain. Samantha’s parents, Gerard and Bonnie, exchanged glances and quickly followed.
When they reached the back mountain area, they saw Adele and Lachlan lying on the ground, severely injured!
