Chapter 264 Killing is an Art
That evening, Lachlan sat cross-legged in the courtyard. His body was surrounded by chunks of Spirit Jade that floated around him. As he practiced the Dragon Soul Immortal Technique, a large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from the Spirit Jade and absorbed into his body with each breath he took.
Unlike other cultivators, Lachlan’s true energy was not obtained through traditional means but rather refined from absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This mixed true energy also contained dragon energy that flowed out of his dragon kidney.
This “mixed true energy” was much stronger and more powerful than regular true energy found in other cultivators’ bodies. Additionally, Lachlan’s physical body had been transformed by nourishing it with dragon energy, making him much stronger than others at his level.
Lachlan named this “mixed true energy” as “True Dragon Energy.” As he absorbed more and more spiritual energy, not only did his liquid field of elixir become denser but the True Dragon Energy also filled up his meridians.
Moreover, a large amount of True Dragon Energy penetrated into his muscles through the meridians to further refine them. His muscle fibers became denser while breaking through their limits again!
As Lachlan sat there cross-legged with clothes fluttering without any wind blowing around him; one could see perfect yet explosive muscle lines beneath them!
The next day at dawn when the sun rose red on the horizon, Lachlan suddenly opened his eyes! Around him were scattered pieces of Spirit Jade that had already been drained dry of their spiritual energy; they now appeared dull and lifeless.
A terrifying divine light shot out like two sharp blades from Lachlan’s eyes before being quickly hidden away again!
With a loud sound like an explosion ringing out twice as he stood up straight; two punches were thrown into thin air compressing it until it twisted under their force!
“What an amazing feeling! Have I reached Uppecia Mid-level?” A smile full of excitement spread across Lachlan’s face as he realized that overnight he had broken through another small realm advancing to mid-level Uppecia cultivation stage!
His liquid field of elixir became even denser!
If initially breaking through to Uppecia cultivation stage felt like squeezing water balloons, then now after cultivating for some time, Lachlan’s field of elixir felt akin to having turned into a mercury ball instead – still containing liquefied true energy but its quality had undergone tremendous improvement!
Not only that, but after nourishing his muscles with the True Dragon Energy once again, Lachlan felt his overall strength increase by more than five times!
It was Saturday today.
After spending several days recovering at Emerald Green Estates and having breakfast, Emerson bid farewell to Lachlan and left. He still had to help Lachlan sell the Nourishing Essence Pills.
Although he had reached an agreement with the Graham family, Lachlan still needed to sell them himself. At the same time, Emerson was also looking for suitable and reliable candidates to train for future work for Lachlan.
Before leaving, Lachlan gave him two pieces of Heavenly Spirit Jade so that he could quickly improve his strength.
“Daddy, it’s Sunday today. Will you play with me?” After finishing her meal, Nora climbed onto her father’s back and cuddled up against his neck.
Lachlan smiled and nodded, “Sure! Where do you want to go?”
Every month when he thought about Nora’s future illness possibility due to her condition, it felt like his heart was bleeding.
He became even more doting towards her as a result while cherishing their happy moments together.
Today there wasn’t anything else going on so of course he would spend all day with his daughter.
“I want to go to the amusement park and ride on a carousel horse or pirate ship!” Nora said excitedly.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Okay then let’s go!” Lachlan picked up his daughter in excitement as they headed towards Marinaland in Edoland around 7am after leaving Emerald Green Estates via a highway bridge.
After driving onto the bridge though, they didn’t realize that a Jeep SUV had quietly followed behind them without being noticed among traffic flow.
Its tracking methods were incredibly sophisticated indicating specialized training from its driver. Beside sat another man who wore an icy expression before asking, “Dagger, are you sure that car ahead is our target?”
Dagger nodded, “I’ve been investigating secretly for many days now. This is definitely our target! President, should we kill him?”
The president snorted coldly before nodding firmly, “Of course we must kill anyone who dares disrupt our mission at Blood Slaughter Association.”
“Damn it, that last mission was supposed to be the first for our Blood Slaughter Association, but this guy ruined it! We have to kill him and prove our strength!”
“President, you’re right,” Dagger nodded in agreement.
The Blood Slaughter Association was a newly formed assassin organization operating in the city. Makhi Davis was its president while Dagger was the leader of the team that failed to take out Dale during their last mission.
But now Lachlan had stopped at a gas station nearby and entered a convenience store while his car got refueled. “President, this is the guy we’ve been looking for,” Dagger confirmed upon seeing Lachlan.
“All right then, leave it to me. Watch how I’ll kill him without anyone noticing,” Makhi said as he took out a miniature timed bomb from his bag.
“Dagger, remember that being an assassin is different from being a mercenary overseas! Killing is an art form and especially here. We must do it without anyone knowing,” Makhi reminded him before placing the bomb under Lachlan’s car discreetly.
As someone who had undergone training as a mercenary himself, Makhi’s skills were impressive.
After planting the bomb successfully beneath Lachlan’s vehicle unnoticed, he and Dagger watched closely from their jeep parked nearby. They waited patiently outside until Lachlan returned with some snacks and drinks in hand.
However, just as he approached his car again, something caught his attention – a faint “drip-drip” sound which made him uneasy all of sudden!
He immediately reached into his pocket pulling out one silver needle before scanning around cautiously.
Pretending to tie his shoelaces, he picked apart a thin wire on the bomb and disassembled the timed explosive device.
