A fierce battle was inevitable!
“Damn it! Let’s attack!”
“Matthias, you and I will deal with Ollie!”
“The rest of the Graham family, fight on your own!”
“Mason, protect your parents with your own men.”
Raul cursed through gritted teeth and shouted at the other skilled members of the Graham family and Mason.
In the next moment, he joined Matthias and faced Ollie head-on, despite knowing that not everyone was as formidable as Lachlan, who could surpass opponents of higher cultivation levels. For most cultivators, crossing even a small realm was as difficult as reaching the heavens. Facing Ollie, who was in the later stage of Core Formation, Raul and Matthias had no chance of winning in their hearts.
However, regardless of the odds, they had to fight to the death today. The Graham family had already been entrusted by Lachlan to protect his family. Without Lachlan’s support, the Graham family would have likely been expelled from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance and even faced the possibility of annihilation by the Wood family.
Lachlan had done a great favor for the Graham family, so they couldn’t stand idly by or escape today. Moreover, Ollie made it clear that the Graham family couldn’t escape responsibility for Arlo’s death. They would surely face trouble from the Hernandez family afterward. So, no matter what, the Graham family couldn’t stay out of it today.
Boom!
In the next instant, the two sides clashed with Ollie. A muffled sound was heard as Ollie struck with both palms, attacking Raul and Matthias separately. Despite being outnumbered, Ollie had the advantage and easily pushed the two back.
At the scene, the three strongest experts engaged in a fierce battle together. The other dozen or so skilled members of the Hernandez family fought against the Graham family members, Mason, and the others. Although Jeremy and Dennis had been injured by Ollie earlier and lost their combat effectiveness, Mason still had other subordinates. Additionally, the guards and skilled members of the Lowe family joined the fray.
However, there was a significant disparity in overall strength between the two sides. Although the Graham family and the Lowe family had the numerical advantage, they were completely inferior in terms of high-end combat power. The dozen or so skilled members Ollie brought with him were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Against ordinary warriors, these experts, with the lowest cultivation level being in the early stage of Uppecia, could easily handle ten opponents each.
“Who dares to harm my family! I’ll fight them!”
“Kill!”
Apart from Matthias and Raul, Mason’s peak late-stage Uppecia strength made him the strongest among them. This once pampered Mason now had a cold and fierce expression, displaying unparalleled bravery and ferocity. He stood beside Emmanuel and Cara, single-handedly holding off two skilled members of the Hernandez family. His peak late-stage Uppecia strength was fully unleashed, and for the moment, he was not at a disadvantage against the two opponents-one in the mid-stage and the other in the late-stage of Uppecia.
However, the situation for the others was not as optimistic. A single skilled member of the Hernandez family in the Uppecia Realm could easily send Mason’s subordinates and the guards of the Lowe family flying with a casual strike. Even with a strategy of surrounding the enemy, they couldn’t gain any advantage.
In just a few breaths of time, several people lay on the ground, with their fates unknown. The situation was equally grim for the skilled members of the Graham family. Due to the difference in cultivation resources and various techniques accumulated over the years, the Hernandez family’s skilled members in the Uppecia Realm generally had a combat strength that was one level higher than the Graham family’s.
Boom!
“Father!”
At that moment, a scream echoed through the air.
Scarlet’s beautiful face turned pale, and her voice trembled.
Eduard, the lord of the town, found himself facing the invading enemies and bravely rushed forward, wanting to contribute to resolving this crisis.
At present, he had reached the peak of the later stage of Transmutation Force, which was equivalent to the half-step Grandmaster realm. Such strength in the urban area was unquestionably formidable.
However, the opponents he faced were genuine cultivators from the Ancient Martial Arts family, not ordinary practitioners.
In just one exchange, Eduard was sent flying by a mid-stage Uppecia expert, coughing up blood.
To make matters worse, the mid-stage Uppecia expert, seeing that Eduard held a high position, chased after him relentlessly, intending to deliver a fatal blow, leaving Eduard in dire straits.
The situation was extremely critical!
Seeing her father’s life hanging by a thread, Scarlet screamed and her face turned pale in fear. Disregarding her own safety, she ran towards her father, hoping to intercept the enemy’s attack.
Mason, who was currently engaged in a battle against two skilled members of the Hernandez family, heard Scarlet’s voice and his whole being trembled.
With a furious roar, he exerted all his strength to force the two opponents back.
Upon seeing Scarlet’s delicate and beautiful figure rushing towards danger like a moth to a flame, Mason’s eyes widened with anger.
“Scarlet, don’t!”
“I’ll handle it!”
As he spoke, he burst forth with his fastest speed and rushed towards Eduard.
Boom!
In the next moment, accompanied by a dull sound, Mason arrived in time and hugged Scarlet, using his back to shield her and Eduard from the attack of the mid-stage Uppecia expert.
Puff!
Although his strength surpassed his opponent by a small margin, taking this hit head-on made Mason’s throat feel sweet as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It even splattered onto Scarlet’s face.
Scarlet felt a warm and bloody breath rushing towards her, causing her beautiful eyes to instantly moisten.
“Mason! Are you alright?”
Scarlet asked in a shocked voice.
“Dodge!”
Without time to say anything more, Mason, at this moment, couldn’t care about anything else. He pushed Scarlet far away and turned around, sweeping his leg towards the mid-stage Uppecia expert.
Boom!
The opponent succeeded in his attack but, sensing Mason’s strength was not weak, he chose not to confront him head-on. After blocking with his arm for a moment, he used the force to retreat.
As soon as he forced the opponent back, Mason didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around, rushing towards Emmanuel and Cara.
The two skilled members of the Lowe family who were fighting against Mason just now had cruel expressions on their faces, ready to attack Emmanuel and Cara.
Today, Ollie came with the intention to kill Lachlan’s family members, so Emmanuel and Cara were naturally the primary targets.
“Get lost!”
“How dare you!”
Mason shouted fiercely as he rushed forward.
Boom!
However, at that moment, the mid-stage Uppecia expert who had just attacked Eduard saw Mason change his target and direction. Seizing the opportunity, he struck Mason from behind with a palm.
Mason, who was solely focused on saving his parents, was caught off guard and was hit by the opponent’s attack.
Agh!
He vomited another mouthful of blood, but Mason didn’t dare to stop. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to Emmanuel and Cara’s side, protecting them in front of him.
