After being sent flying by Lu Fan, the Tiger Clan leader quickly clasped his fists and said, "As long as you spare our lives, we will serve you like oxen and horses and never utter another word!"
"Yes, yes!"
The Divine Snake Clan leader also nodded repeatedly, his plea carrying an even greater urgency. Things had reached this point, and he was beginning to feel fear. Lu Fan's strength was too formidable, so powerful that even he felt a sense of dread. Such immense power naturally instilled a sense of apprehension.
Meanwhile, everyone could clearly sense that the aura around Lu Fan was extraordinary, and his power was terrifying. Nine-Tails and the others showed joy on their faces. They had been worried, but it seemed there was no need for concern. The strength Lu Fan displayed was enough to crush them. Even if the two clans joined forces, they would not be Lu Fan's match. Perhaps this was destiny.
"If you had been obedient from the start, perhaps I might have spared your lives. Unfortunately, you were not!" Lu Fan shrugged and said, "So, naturally, I cannot let you go!"
"We are all subordinates of the Divine Dragon Clan. If you truly kill us, the Divine Dragon Clan will never let this matter rest!" the Divine Snake Clan leader stated directly. "If you let us go, you can pretend nothing happened. This might not be a bad thing for you!"
"The Divine Dragon Clan?" Lu Fan glanced over, a cold smile appearing on his face. "Do you think I would be afraid?"
Faced with these words, the Divine Snake Clan leader's face instantly turned ashen. He had never expected Lu Fan to speak in such a manner, leaving him speechless and unsure of what to do. At the same time, everyone could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from Lu Fan, a naked aura that permeated the entire scene.
"Spare their lives!" Nine-Tails suddenly spoke, her expression resolute, her gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
"But they all deserve to die!" Lu Fan shook his head, his gaze shifting to Nine-Tails. He couldn't quite understand why Nine-Tails would speak up, and with such earnestness.
"I know that, but you should also know that the Divine Dragon Clan is not to be trifled with. If you kill them, you will offend the Divine Dragon Clan and invite certain death!" Nine-Tails reminded him, taking this matter very seriously. After all, this was no trivial matter. If Lu Fan insisted on this course of action, it would likely lead to endless trouble.
"I do not care about the Divine Dragon Clan!" Lu Fan smiled slightly and, in one swift motion, struck the Tiger Clan leader into a mist of blood. He acted without hesitation, as if all of this appeared utterly commonplace in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, the Divine Snake Clan leader's face changed dramatically. He retreated step by step, clearly feeling an immense pressure bearing down on him, making his scalp tingle.
"Do you think you can escape?" Lu Fan looked at the Divine Snake Clan leader, a cold smile gracing his lips, tinged with an icy chill. It seemed that in his eyes, no one could evade his grasp.
"You will regret this!" the Divine Snake Clan leader roared, his voice filled with righteous indignation. Lu Fan's ferocity had surprised even him, but Lu Fan's actions would ultimately come at a price. After all, the Divine Dragon Clan was not merely a name; they were truly allied. As subordinate forces of the Divine Dragon Clan, how could they simply let this go? They would surely make Lu Fan pay, and at that time, everyone would understand the power of their alliance.
Rumble...
With a tremendous roar, the Divine Snake Clan leader instantly perished, his demise appearing exceptionally brutal, leaving him with no power to resist. Perhaps, in the face of true strength, this was the most realistic outcome.
Seeing their leaders fall to their deaths, the members of the two great clans were instantly filled with panic. They had resorted to any means necessary to deal with the Fox Clan, and now, with the deaths of their two leaders, they suffered a significant blow.
"Fox Clan members, obey my command and slay these individuals!" Nine-Tails' voice rang out, her eyes flashing with cold light, carrying an overwhelming aura, as if everything was within her control.
The Fox Clan members clasped their fists in response, their own powerful auras surging. At this point, they would show no hesitation and would fight with all their might. The demise of the two opposing powerhouses was a great blow to them. With the Fox Clan now taking action, they were sure to strike with thunderous force.
Seeing this, the members of the two great clans began to flee, their faces etched with terror and panic. They were acutely aware that if they did not escape immediately, they would likely perish here today. Lu Fan was no ordinary individual; even the two clan leaders had died at his hands. Who among them could possibly be his match? They would be at his mercy.
"Leave none alive!" Nine-Tails' voice echoed again, this time laced with a chilling killing intent. These individuals had stopped at nothing to deal with the Fox Clan, and now, how could she let them off the hook? She would make them pay, and only then could they restore the honor of the Fox Clan.
After a fierce battle, the Divine Snake Clan and the Tiger Clan were completely annihilated, leaving countless corpses scattered across the battlefield. The Fox Clan's valor was due to Lu Fan's support, making all of this seem insignificant in their eyes.
"From now on, our Fox Clan is your subordinate, and we can be dispatched by you personally!" Nine-Tails looked at Lu Fan with earnestness, her expression deeply serious.
Lu Fan, however, shook his head at her words. "You have your own affairs to attend to, and you don't need to worry about this. Today's events were merely a small favor!"
"You have saved the Fox Clan from dire straits multiple times. This is what the Fox Clan should do!" Nine-Tails stated directly. "If you refuse, the entire Fox Clan will likely force you to agree!"
"Why must it be this way!" Lu Fan shook his head, feeling a sense of helplessness. He had intervened to save the Fox Clan, not for power or influence. He hadn't expected Nine-Tails to speak in such a manner, which caught him by surprise.
"Our Fox Clan was saved by you. Without you, the Fox Clan would have long since perished!" the Fox Clan elder said. "We implore you, sir, do not refuse!"
"This is everyone's heartfelt wish. Why don't you accept their wishes?" Six-Tails said with a smile. "Perhaps in their eyes, you are the guardian deity of the Fox Clan, having saved us from peril time and again!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly at these words, understanding the sentiment behind them. However, some matters were not as simple as they seemed. He might not stay with the Fox Clan for long, as he likely had other matters to attend to. Seeing the Fox Clan's demeanor, it seemed they had already set their minds on him, which left Lu Fan feeling quite resigned.
