As Briggs’ voice fell, the spirit stones flew directly towards Lachlan’s face.
However, Lachlan didn’t even bother looking at these spirit stones.
Although Lachlan had never seen these spirit stones outside, he didn’t consider them precious treasures.
He also didn’t think that Briggs would actually take out any real treasures to compensate him.
Sure enough, while Lachlan remained silent, Samantha suddenly spoke up from behind him, her voice filled with anger. “Mr. Willis, although spirit stones are good cultivation resources, they are not rare items!”
Lachlan nodded and looked at Briggs coldly.
“Heh, Mayer Master, are you trying to brush me off with charity?”
“Although I’ve just entered the sect and don’t understand many things, I’m not a fool!”
“If there’s no sincerity, it seems we’ll have to resolve this in another way!”
After speaking, Lachlan waved his hand, sending the spirit stones back towards Briggs.
Seeing Lachlan’s indifferent attitude, Briggs’ eyes narrowed, and he sneered.
“Lachlan, your words may be harsh, but in our eyes, you’re just a beggar! If I show you respect, you should accept it and take advantage of the situation!”
Briggs’ words were far from polite, filled with mockery.
In his view, Lachlan was just a grassroots cultivator from the secular world without any foundation.
“These ten spirit stones are my compensation to you. Will you accept or not?”
Briggs said, his face full of playful intent as he extended the spirit stones towards Lachlan once again.
The meaning behind it was already clear: if Lachlan accepted the spirit stones, it meant that he would bow down to Briggs, and Solomon’s matter would be considered resolved. But if he refused, then they would directly turn hostile, and there would be nothing more to discuss.
The next course of action depended on Lachlan’s choice.
The other disciples of Prideful Peak around them wore expressions of schadenfreude, as if they were watching a good show.
Solomon smirked with satisfaction, unable to hide the mockery on his face.
Weren’t you arrogant in front of me?
Now that my father has stepped in, why are you suddenly afraid to speak up?
Hahaha! Just a lucky waste that grew up in the secular world, thinking you can compare to a second-generation cultivator like me?
Just as Solomon was reveling in his arrogance, Lachlan looked at the spirit stones in front of him and suddenly sneered.
He spoke calmly, “Mayer Master, I don’t think you understand one thing.”
“That is, I, Lachlan, never eat hard food. If Solomon had shown some humility from the beginning, maybe I would have spared him out of respect for you.”
“But since you all have chosen this attitude, then…”
“There’s no need to talk anymore!”
As his voice fell, before Briggs could react, Lachlan suddenly disappeared from his original position in the bewildered gazes of everyone.
In the next moment, Lachlan appeared next to Solomon.
With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he fiercely punched Solomon’s chest!
Splurt!
A mouthful of bright red blood instantly sprayed out from Solomon’s mouth. His face turned pale, and his expression instantly wilted.
“Lachlan, you’re seeking death!”
Seeing this scene, Briggs couldn’t help but shout in astonishment.
He never expected that Lachlan would actually dare to make a move.
For a moment, he was caught off guard.
And it had to be said, Lachlan’s speed was extremely fast.
Hmph!
Lachlan sneered and struck again, kicking towards Solomon’s legs with great force.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking instantly resounded, and Solomon’s legs were directly kicked off by Lachlan!
In the next second, Solomon, in a miserable state, knelt down before Lachlan!
Even though they were both in the Golden Core Realm, Solomon was in the later stage, yet he appeared completely defenseless in front of Lachlan.
It had to be said that disciples from ancient sects like these often seemed “overweight” in terms of their cultivation level. They relied heavily on accumulated cultivation resources and lacked any real combat experience.
Bullying the weak might be possible for them, but when they encounter someone like Lachlan, who has gone through numerous battles and is ruthless, they instantly become as docile as lambs.
At this moment, Lachlan grabbed Solomon’s head and forcefully pressed it down, causing Solomon to collapse to the ground!
“I told you to kneel, so you must kneel!”
Hiss…
With Lachlan’s forceful action, silence instantly fell around. Everyone widened their eyes, full of shock, as they watched this scene. No one dared to believe that it was real.
Lachlan actually broke Briggs’ son’s legs right in front of him! He made his son kneel directly in front of him!
This was no longer just slapping Briggs’ face; it was a blatant humiliation!
Hiss!
Gasps filled the air, but no one dared to speak at this moment. Everyone looked cautiously at Briggs. When Briggs saw this scene, he was equally astonished.
Then his face turned red with anger, reaching its peak.
“Lachlan!”
A furious roar rose from Prideful Peak, piercing through the sky.
“Do you really think I won’t dare to touch you?”
As Briggs’ voice fell, an extremely powerful aura burst forth from his body.
Immediately after, Briggs’ palm slammed towards Lachlan.
The anger of a Nascent Soul expert brought forth an oppressive force that these disciples couldn’t resist.
The crowd immediately erupted in an uproar, scattering in all directions.
Samantha, sensing the situation was not in her favor, had already taken Nora to a safe place.
She was well aware that her task was to ensure Nora’s safety. In a battle of this level, she was of no use at all. As long as she didn’t cause trouble for Lachlan, it would be fine.
Briggs’ palm, filled with anger, made Lachlan’s expression slightly serious.
He coldly snorted and turned into a blur, quickly evading the attack.
Although Briggs’ strength surpassed Lachlan’s, his combat experience was lacking.
At this moment, after dodging Briggs’ attack, Lachlan’s hand instantly appeared with the Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade. At the same time, he activated the Immortal Technique of Indestructible Earth, preparing to engage in a battle with this Nascent Soul expert in front of him.
It concerned Nora, and even if he knew he was no match, he would still fight.
And Lachlan knew that someone would inevitably intervene!
