Chapter 955: Begging for Mercy Again
Boom!
With a single punch, Adele’s delicate body was sent flying, blood spurting from her mouth.
Already injured, she now looked like a fragile petal on the verge of shattering.
At the same time, Lachlan grunted, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Divine Demon Regret!
Hurting the enemy also hurts oneself!
Lachlan himself bore half the impact of the strike.
However, with his Sky Shaker physique, this half-impact was manageable.
Though his injuries were not light, they were far from incapacitating him.
In the next second, he stomped forward, rushing towards the fallen Adele.
At this moment, her once ethereal and beautiful face was completely drained of color.
She couldn’t even muster the strength to prop herself up.
Blood continuously oozed from her mouth, nose, and ears.
Her right chest, where Lachlan had struck, had a collapsed and fractured ribcage.
She was on the brink of death.
Seeing Lachlan approach, Adele’s eyes were filled with intense fear and unwillingness.
“What… what kind of technique… is this?” she asked weakly.
“A technique that can end your life!” Lachlan replied expressionlessly.
“Are you… really going to kill me?” Adele looked at Lachlan, her eyes flashing with panic.
“What else? We are already enemies, aren’t we?” Lachlan raised an eyebrow and asked with a faint smile.
“Lachlan… as long as you don’t kill me… I, Adele… am willing to be your partner. Your strength has made me… completely admire and submit to you. Please? Don’t… kill me. I can… be your woman, your right-hand. Penglai Fairy Island… will also become… your ally.”
Adele bit her lip, her eyes showing a hint of pleading.
“Be my partner? Sorry, I don’t need one! I already have a wife.”
Lachlan shook his head, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
Although Adele was as beautiful as a fairy, Lachlan was unmoved.
“Do you really… have the heart to kill me?” Adele asked unwillingly.
“What do you think? Didn’t you just say that you didn’t need my pity? How quickly you’ve changed your tune, huh…” Lachlan smirked.
“You…”
“I surrender. As long as you don’t kill me, I can give you the Four Elements Divine Fire! This Fire God Sword… you can have it too. And my Immortal Grade Golden Bell… it’s all yours… okay?”
Blood trickled from Adele’s mouth as she weakly pleaded with Lachlan.
History often repeats itself.
This scene seemed like a replay of the Mirror of Trials.
“Heh, Adele, you’re really amusing! If I kill you, everything will be mine anyway. Why would I need you to give it to me?”
Lachlan squatted down, looking at Adele with a teasing smile. “Tell me, what other conditions do you have to convince me not to kill you?”
“If you… kill me, it won’t benefit you… Penglai Fairy Island will definitely… not let you go. When you reach Fragmentation Void… my sect will surely come for revenge. My master is at the peak of Late-stage Fragmented Void. But if you don’t kill me… I swear… never to be your enemy again. In the future… whatever you command… I will obey without question.”
Adele struggled to raise her hand, swearing with three fingers together.
Lachlan chuckled: “Alright! You’re right; there’s no need for me to kill you because you’re so weak that you’re no threat to me. There’s no need for me to make an enemy of Penglai Fairy Island.”
In fact, Lachlan had no real intention of killing Adele this time.
His goal was simply the Four Elements Divine Fire.
Although this woman annoyed him greatly, killing her wouldn’t bring him any substantial benefits.
Firstly, it would make an enemy of Penglai Fairy Island. Secondly, it might offend other factions and organizations.
After all, one of the top ten Seed of the Star Path candidates had just been selected and died at his hands.
Although Adele had reached the Shattered Void Realm and was no longer under protection plans, the Orderwarden organization might still harbor resentment towards him.
If it were Isa who had broken through to the Shattered Void Realm in front of him, Lachlan would have torn him apart regardless of offending the Orderwarden organization due to their deep-seated enmity.
But with Adele, there was no such deep hatred between them.
Lachlan wasn’t a bloodthirsty maniac; sparing her was an option.
“Really? You really… are willing to spare my life?” Adele asked with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, still unsure.
“Yes! Hand over the Four Elements Divine Fire and that Immortal Grade Golden Bell.”
Lachlan nodded and casually picked up Adele’s Fire God Sword.
Then he extended his hand towards her for the items.
Although he could spare her life, he still intended to take what he came for.
“Alright… alright… I’ll give them to you…”
Adele agreed repeatedly.
In the next second, with a thought, she presented the obsidian box containing the Four Elements Divine Fire and a palm-sized small bell before Lachlan.
“I’ll help you… sever my connection with the Fire God Sword and Immortal Grade Golden Bell…”
Adele said weakly.
She tried to prop herself up but coughed up more blood and collapsed again.
Seeing this, Lachlan shook his head: “Forget it. Since I’m not killing you, I’ll help you out. Otherwise, even if I spare you now, in your current state, survival is uncertain.”
