Chapter 766: Fragile
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Julian’s personal apprentice, the reason Kai had come to the conference of the families of the two states held by the Campbells wasn’t as simple as breaking up the alliance between the two states and making the major families in Oregon submit to the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
The other reason was to test Lucas’s skills.
Julian could be among the top ten experts in the headquarters of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation was certainly not just because of his martial arts skills.
Since he could reach such a high position, he obviously had a brain.
Last night, he had learned from the Taylors that his brother, Jude, had indeed been killed by Lucas. After causing a bloodbath at the Taylors’, Julian had truly wanted to kill Lucas immediately to avenge his brother.
But just before he went, he forcibly held back his plan.
This was because he learned from Gisele that Lucas had killed Jude in a very short amount of time, and it could almost be considered an instant kill.
Julian was very clear about his brother’s strength. Someone who wasn’t powerful enough absolutely wouldn’t be able to kill him!
He had always been a cautious person, so he had simply given Kai the task of testing Lucas’s ability.
Thus, Kai didn’t take Lucas lightly just because he was a young man under thirty years old. Instead, he was extremely cautious and wary from the start.
If he wanted to seize control of California and Oregon at the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s martial arts compet.i.tion in seven days, Lucas definitely had to die!
“Who are you?” Lucas asked rhetorically while standing with his head held high.
“Me? I’m the one who came to take your life!” Kai shouted before das.h.i.+ng toward Lucas.
He was as quick as a bolt of lightning as he cut a streak in the air and instantly appeared in front of Lucas.
This attack was completely unexpected, and there seemed to be no time for Lucas to react at all.
His purpose was to test Lucas and kill him directly if possible. There was no point in standing there and talking so much nonsense.
Only when Kai appeared in front of Lucas did many people present realize that they had already started fighting over a slight conflict!
“Mr. Gray, be careful!” Edmund exclaimed anxiously.
Beside him, Damon looked at Lucas worriedly.
Noah, standing on the other side, narrowed his eyes slightly.
His mood was a bit complicated now.
On the one hand, Noah didn’t want to admit that this young man in front of him was the Master of California, and all the more, he didn’t want to believe that he was more powerful than Lewis.
Even Lewis had lost to Kai, so this young man named Lucas Gray would definitely not be a match for him!
If he could beat Kai, wouldn’t it mean that the expert he had found was no match for him?
Thus, Noah didn’t want to see Lucas win.
But on the other hand, if Lucas also lost to Kai, the various families present would probably be deterred by the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation’s strength and surrender to them.
When the time came, there would be nothing he could use to compete with the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation for the t.i.tle of the Master of Oregon.
The weak and powerless Campbells would lose all hope!
From this perspective, he still hoped that Lucas could defeat the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation.
No one paid attention to the look of dilemma on Noah’s face, as everyone’s eyes were attracted to Lucas and Kai.
Kai was extremely fast, and he reached Lucas almost immediately. He raised his hand and threw a ferocious hook at Lucas’s face.
But Lucas stood still, seemingly dumbfounded, as he watched Kai’s fist getting closer and closer to him.
“d.a.m.n it. Is this kid scared stupid?! Why is he standing there motionlessly?”
“Is this the Master of California? What a lousy reaction and performance! What kind of expert is this?”
“Why is he standing there like a log! Given his level, any of my family’s bodyguards can easily become the Master of California. How lousy!”
The helmsmen of the wealthy families of Oregon began yelling when they saw Lucas standing still because they had expected better from him.
Seeing Lucas not moving, Kai couldn’t help feeling a touch of disappointment in his heart.
This Master of California’s strength seemed to be much worse than he thought. He couldn’t even dodge a punch from him.
But even if Lucas couldn’t dodge it, Kai had no intention of going easy on him.
If someone was not as good as others, their only fate would be death!
“Go to h.e.l.l!” Kai smashed his fast at Lucas’s fist!
Whoos.h.!.+
But to his surprise, his ferocious punch that was supposed to hit the target suddenly missed!
Lucas, who had been less than 20 centimeters away from his fist, suddenly disappeared in an instant!
Indeed, he seemed to have vanished instantly. So the punch, which contained all the power he acc.u.mulated, hit the air, and Kai lunged forward because of the inertia.
Before he could think about what happened, a strong sense of danger suddenly came from behind him, giving him gooseb.u.mps.
Oh G.o.d!
As this thought flashed through his mind, Kai quickly adjusted his body in the air to avoid the danger.
But it was already too late!
He had just started to move when a ma.s.sive and unparalleled force came from behind him and struck him in the back like a huge mountain!
Bang!
Bang!
Two explosive impact sounds rang out almost consecutively.
The first sound was the sound of Lucas’s leg viciously smas.h.i.+ng into Kai!
The second sound was that of Kai’s body slamming into the floor!
The force of this blow was so great that a deep crater formed in the wooden floor beneath Kai, and countless spider web-like cracks burst around it and spread in all directions.
Kai’s spine was broken, and his face was full of horror, but his life was over!
This scene left everyone shocked!
Everyone looked at the young figure in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time. All that was left was the sound of rapid heartbeats and gulping.
Just a few minutes ago, Kai, an expert of the Peerless Martial a.s.sociation, beat Lewis, the Campbells top expert, to death in two moves.
But now, the young man Lucas killed him in one move!
Did this mean that Lewis and Kai were weak and unable to take a single blow?
No, it only meant that Lucas was far stronger than them!
