Lachlan didn't know what Master Flame had in mind when he left those words for the Ward family's ancestor. Was it with the intention that when the Ward family was in dire straits and had no way out, they would open his tomb? Would that solve their troubles? Hmm... it seemed plausible!
Releasing such an unrivaled Corpse King would indeed solve all their problems by killing everyone...
At this moment, Lachlan focused his gaze and his pupils couldn't help but shrink. Even with his current strength, he felt a sense of palpitation when faced with the overwhelming aura of death emanating from the figure.
Lachlan wasn't sure if he would be able to hold his ground against this Corpse King in battle. So he decided to observe the situation and refrain from acting hastily.
Just then, he saw a figure rushing towards him at high speed. It was Joseph.
Joseph, who was filled with panic and fear, had the expression on his face as he approached Lachlan. He was the strongest member of the Ward family and didn't even spare a glance for the core members who were just slaughtered.
"Joseph, where are you going?" Lachlan looked at him coldly and asked with a playful tone.
Joseph was momentarily stunned when he saw Lachlan. He didn't expect this young man to come back.
"Get lost!" Joseph shouted directly, not in the mood to waste time talking with Lachlan.
Lachlan coldly snorted and said in a low voice, "Go back! Have a little confrontation with this Corpse King."
Joseph cursed, "Fuck off! You can go by yourself."
Hearing this, Lachlan chuckled and his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Boom!
In the next moment, a solid fist imprint flew out of nowhere and ruthlessly struck Joseph's body. Joseph, who was in the midst of a rapid escape, came to a halt, his eyes widening as he looked at Lachlan.
At that moment, a bloody hole appeared in his chest where Lachlan's punch had landed.
"You... you..."
Joseph's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He never expected that the young man who had allowed him to attack freely earlier would... kill him with a single punch?
"I can endure you for a long time! It only takes a second to kill you."
"You wanted me to fight you, right? Now, I can grant your wish!" Lachlan said expressionlessly.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph's body crashed to the ground, his life force rapidly fading away.
Lachlan sneered disdainfully, as if he had done something trivial, and continued to focus on the Corpse King over there.
The reason he didn't kill Joseph earlier was because he thought he might still be useful. He had sensed something dangerous hidden in Master Flame's tomb. That was why he had Erik hand over the key and allowed the Ward family to open the tomb, considering it a "trial" for these people.
Keeping Joseph and the others was to let them face this danger first, so that Lachlan could plan and act accordingly.
However, this rubbish only wanted to escape and didn't even have the courage to fight the Corpse King. How could he help Lachlan "test the waters"?
In that case, let him... die!!
At this moment, chaos had already engulfed the entire Ward Residence.
