*Swish!*
Lachlan Willis’ figure suddenly turned into a blur and rushed straight behind Kelsey Montgomery and Maximus Willis’ group.
His speed was unbelievably fast!
With the rules of Death Thunderbolt, combined with Savannah Graham’s Wind and Thunder Possession state, Lachlan Willis’ speed was twice as fast as someone like Kelsey Montgomery, a later-stage *Fragmentation Void*.
“Senior from the *Broken Pulse Sect*, what do you think about me delivering another strike like I did with the *Northern Territory the Porter Family*?”
Lachlan Willis asked in a deep voice.
As soon as he spoke, Kelsey Montgomery’s eyes revealed a hint of caution, remembering the terrifying strike from Lachlan Willis earlier.
The next second, he coldly turned to Maximus Willis and said, “Since they’ve promised to spare you, give them the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade*. We, the *Broken Pulse Sect*, will ensure your safe departure!”
Upon hearing this, Maximus Willis’ face changed several times.
“Maximus Willis, if you have the guts, crush it right now. I don’t believe you’d be willing to risk your life to die with us!
If you’re afraid, just hand it over now and leave with the *Broken Pulse Sect*. We promise we won’t stop you.
If you hesitate and miss the time window, it’ll be too late for you to leave!” Michael coldly advised.
He was also afraid that, in a moment of impulse, Maximus Willis might actually crush the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade*.
Rather than take that risk, it was better to let him go this time.
Maximus Willis, after hearing this, looked at Kelsey Montgomery and asked, “Kelsey Montgomery, can you guarantee that once I hand it over, you won’t abandon me?”
“I guarantee it! The *Broken Pulse Sect* would be delighted to recruit a *Fragmentation Void* expert like you.”
Kelsey Montgomery said seriously.
At this moment, everyone felt that the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade* in Maximus Willis’ hand was like a ticking time bomb.
Even the *Broken Pulse Sect* wanted to defuse this bomb as soon as possible.
Maximus Willis’ eyes flickered as he weighed the situation in his mind before shaking his head.
“No, I must leave with this *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade*!
If you’re afraid that I’ll crush it once I leave the *Ancient Willis family* domain, you can all leave too.
That way, you won’t have to worry about me taking us all down together!
As for the others trapped in the *Dragon Tomb*, they’ll be my hostages.
As long as you don’t act against me, I won’t crush the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade*, destroy the *Ancient Willis family*, or kill anyone. There’s no benefit to me doing so!”
Maximus Willis gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with madness.
“This is the only condition I’ll accept!
You’ve got ten counts to decide! My time is limited!
If I count to ten and you don’t agree or let me go, I’ll crush the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade* and activate the *World Annihilation Array*!
We all die together!”
At the end, Maximus Willis’ face twisted with rage, and his hand gripping the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade* trembled as if ready to crush it at any moment.
His nature was extremely selfish and paranoid.
In a situation like this, he only trusted himself!
He didn’t believe that once he handed over the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade*, Lachlan Willis and the others would still spare him.
He didn’t trust that the *Broken Pulse Sect* would truly protect him.
So he had made his last demand.
“Maximus Willis, don’t push us!”
“We won’t gamble with the lives of the other clan members trapped in the *Dragon Tomb*. If you don’t hand over the *Dragon-Shaped Black Jade*, you’ll never leave!”
Michael said with a dark, furious expression!
“Ten!”
“We’re all running out of time! I’ve said it, let me go, and you can leave the *Ancient Willis family* domain right away!”
“Not willing? Then we all die together!”
“Nine! Eight…”
Maximus Willis’ eyes were filled with madness as he roared furiously.
As long as Lachlan Willis and the others didn’t stop him, once he left the *Ancient Willis family* domain, he would have time to escape before the countdown ended.
He still had time to completely flee!
“Seven!”
“Six!”
“Lachlan Willis, aren’t you going to step aside? Do you want to die with us?”
“Five!”
Maximus Willis turned around and shouted at Lachlan Willis, who was blocking him from Kelsey Montgomery and the others.
Lachlan Willis took a deep breath and looked toward Michael with a questioning glance.
He didn’t have any particular feelings for the people trapped in the *Dragon Tomb*.
Using them as hostages, leaving the *Ancient Willis family*-Lachlan Willis actually didn’t care much.
Maximus Willis could always be killed next time!
The conditions proposed by Maximus Willis were something Lachlan Willis was leaning towards agreeing to.
After all, he still had many goals to achieve and people to protect. He didn’t want to die in the *World Annihilation Array*.
Nora was still waiting for him in Edoland. He hadn’t seen her grow up, nor had he broken the curse on his daughter.
Miranda Lowe had left him, and Lachlan Willis still wanted answers, dreaming of finding her again.
“Get lost!”
Michael roared in anger and frustration at Maximus Willis.
“Hahaha, I knew it, you’ll only compromise!”
Maximus Willis laughed loudly, smug and mocking.
*Boom!*
But just at that moment, waves of energy fluctuations appeared.
The *Ancient Willis family*’s domain barrier was smashed open from the outside.
A group of people rushed toward them at high speed!
“Hahaha… The *Ancient Willis family* hasn’t been completely destroyed yet?
Did we from the *Tian Shan Sect* arrive too late?
*Broken Pulse Sect*, do you want us from *Tian Shan Sect* to help you out?
Then we’ll split everything from the *Ancient Willis family* evenly, how about it?”
A domineering and arrogant laugh rang out.
The group of people who suddenly appeared were all *Fragmentation Void* experts.
They were the *Tian Shan Sect*, intending to loot the *Ancient Willis family* in the wake of its destruction.
“Hahahaha… We from the *Hall of the Three Realms* also want to join in, you don’t mind, right?”
