Chapter 571 Absorbing Souls
Lachlan rushed straight into the cave.
Here, there was a formation set up by Wicked Bone, but Lachlan still managed to find Nora's aura and track her down.
Since indirectly defeating the Corpse King and obtaining a strand of merit power, Lachlan's Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique had been upgraded. His many magical techniques had also become even more profound and mysterious.
This time, even Kyrie couldn't detect Nora's presence, but Lachlan saw through Wicked Bone's deceitful tactics.
"Nora..."
Entering the cave and seeing the small figure curled up in a corner, Lachlan felt his heart tremble fiercely.
Shua!
Upon hearing Lachlan's voice, Nora, who was pretending to sleep, instantly sat up. Her eyes widened, and her delicate and cute face was filled with astonishment and disbelief. "Daddy?"
"Daddy, is it really you?"
Nora looked at Lachlan and called out in a fragile voice.
"Wow..."
"Wuwuwu..."
But in the next moment, she cried out, "Daddy! Daddy, you finally came! I thought I would never see you again! Wuwuwu..."
Lachlan's heart ached, and he hurriedly ran over, taking Nora into his arms. Feeling Nora's small body and the genuine sense it brought him, Lachlan felt as if he was embracing the whole world. "Daddy's here! Everything is fine, my precious...'
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Lachlan desperately comforted Nora.
"Yeah, yeah, I knew you would come to save me. Daddy..."
"This place is so scary! There was a bad old man who wanted to search my soul."
"Thanks to that auntie who helped me, otherwise I would have become a fool and wouldn't recognize you..."
Nora nestled her little head against Lachlan's chest. Although she was crying uncontrollably, she had a look of relief on her face.
"It's okay! Everything is over."
"Daddy is here, and no one can hurt my Nora."
Hearing Nora's words, Lachlan's heart was filled with both tenderness and anger.
Fortunately, Nora was safe. Otherwise, even if he tore Wicked Bone to pieces, it wouldn't be able to undo anything.
At the same time, when Nora mentioned Summer, Lachlan's heart sank.
Wicked Bone said that Summer was already dead. Was it true or false? "Hoo..."
However, in any case, Lachlan felt a great sense of relief at the moment.
The main purpose of this journey was to save Nora, and he never expected it to go so smoothly.
Next, it was time for revenge and settling the scores.
Wicked Bone, today is your death day!
Lachlan's eyes emitted a cold and fierce light as his heart filled with a murderous intent.
When he emerged from the cave, he saw Darius had already severely injured Wicked Bone's disciple, Turkeroth.
Several other experts from the Nemesis Pavilion who were accompanying them had also arrived, escorting Kevin.
The people in this village were essentially followers of Wicked Bone. Now, facing these "intruders," a few of Wicked Bone's trusted experts were attacking Darius and the others. However, they were being killed and injured heavily, and most of them had already retreated.
At this moment, Turkeroth, lying on the ground, had suffered two palm strikes from Darius, and he was now weak.
Seeing Lachlan carrying Nora out, Turkeroth's face showed a mix of fear and disbelief.
"Why? How could you find this place?"
"My master has clearly concealed all her auras!"
"How is this possible..."
In his mind, Wicked Bone was like a god-like existence.
Someone being able to see through Wicked Bone's methods made him feel unimaginable.
"Wicked Bone is not invincible!"
"Just like how he can't save you now!" Lachlan said coldly.
"Go to hell!"
Upon hearing this, Turkeroth's expression turned ferocious.
Struggling with his last bit of strength, Turkeroth suddenly jumped up from the ground and charged towards Lachlan, who was holding Nora in his arms.
He was the official disciple of Wicked Bone and had learned many unorthodox methods from him. Especially the poison techniques, which were exceptionally vicious and ruthless.
At this moment, his entire body turned pitch black, activating the Venomstrike Secret Technique, with black light surging in his hands.
His target was none other than Nora
QUT
in Lachlan's arms. He was ordered by Wicked Bone to guard her here Now, unable to complete his mission, he resorted to insane measures, intending to take the child with him to his death.
However, Darius reacted swiftly. Seeing the situation, he struck with full force, sending Turkeroth flying with a powerful palm strike, showing no mercy.
After Turkeroth landed on the ground, black blood gushed from his mouth, mixed with fragments of his internal organs. He struggled for a few moments, his eyes wide open, before finally meeting his demise. "I apologize, senior. No one survived this time," Darius said, cupping his hands towards Lachlan.
Lachlan shook his head. "Well done!"
At this moment, a cold silver light flickered in his eyes as he saw a soul emerge from Turkeroth's corpse. Lachlan extended his hand, and the struggling soul was forcibly restrained and absorbed into his own body.
"Roar!"
Sensing this fresh soul, the dormant Dragon Ancestor's remnant soul awakened instantly, emitting a low roar filled with excitement and joy, directly devouring Turkeroth's soul.
"Kid, not bad! That's it!"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Collect more souls for me to devour, and I will gain the power to resist the Lord of Evil Spirits and save your wife sooner."
Dragon Ancestor's Soul expressed its delight.
"I understand!" Lachlan agreed and shifted his attention to another direction.
Over there, the central building in the village collapsed with a resounding explosion, sending debris flying everywhere. Wicked Bone and Kyrie, two Nascent Soul experts, engaged in a fierce battle.
At this moment, Wicked Bone
emerged from the flying rubble, a
trace of blood staining the corner of his mouth. Despite being in the Nascent Soul Realm like Kyrie, he was only in the early stage and was obviously at a disadvantage against Kyrie, who was in the later stage.
After exchanging a couple of moves, Wicked Bone was heavily injured and had no intention of fighting further. His face twisted with a grim expression and a look of terror as he fled towards a cave behind the village.
"So, Kyrie is Lachlan's sworn brother? It seems this trip was also for that brat."
"I'm no match for Kyrie. Perhaps I can use that brat as a bargaining chip to save my own life."
Unaware that Lachlan had already seen through his true and false tricks, Wicked Bone realized he was no match for Kyrie and intended to use Nora as a means to ensure his own survival.
"Wicked Bone! Where are you running?"
"Return my grandson's life!"
At this moment, an angry and mournful roar suddenly resounded.
Another powerful and terrifying aura intercepted Wicked Bone from a different direction.
Silas, who had lost his beloved grandson, had coincidentally arrived...
