"You brat are truly courting death!"
Gu Tongtian sneered, his tone filled with a chilling amusement, as if Lu Fan were already a corpse.
Lu Fan, however, remained unperturbed, his expression indifferent even when facing the Sacred City's Old Ancestor.
The City Lord of Snowfall City and others turned ashen, their hearts filled with helplessness. They had never expected things to escalate to this point, catching them completely off guard.
"The Sacred City's Old Ancestor's strength is already at the Heavenly Lord Ninth Realm. It's likely beyond our ability to contend with!"
Bai Di frowned, "Even if Lu kid breaks through to the Heavenly Lord realm and possesses formidable combat power, against a true powerhouse, he might still struggle!"
In response to these words, everyone nodded slightly, their hearts sinking into despair.
Perhaps this was their fate, something no one could alter. All they could do now was await their deaths.
Without any hesitation, the Sacred City's Old Ancestor, with an overwhelming aura, began to crush down towards Lu Fan.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan did not panic. Instead, he forcefully attacked, attempting to block the Sacred City's Old Ancestor.
He had now reached the Heavenly Lord realm, and the power he displayed was naturally extraordinary.
In an instant, two powerful auras collided, unleashing a torrent of energy.
The leading figures were thrown into a state of panic, clearly not anticipating the situation to reach this stage.
With this surge of energy, everyone instantly understood that no one would escape the terrifying spectacle of that day.
Rumble...
With a booming sound, everyone quickly retreated, their expressions grave. They were acutely aware that being touched by that terrifying aura would surely mean a swift demise.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan's figure shot backward, his eyes filled with coldness. He had not anticipated the Sacred City's Old Ancestor to be so formidable, a sight that was truly shocking.
"I truly didn't expect you, brat, to possess such strength!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, the Sacred City's Old Ancestor spoke, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, radiating a sharp killing intent. In his eyes, Lu Fan was already doomed.
"You flatter me!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Actually, even I didn't expect you to have such capabilities. I underestimated you!"
"Ridiculous! I am the Old Ancestor, how dare you question me?"
His expression indifferent, the Sacred City's Old Ancestor sneered, showing no courtesy.
"Since that's the case, then let's fight!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Let me witness the true strength of the Sacred City's Old Ancestor!"
"Hmph!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor snorted with anger. Lu Fan's words were clearly mocking him, something he could not tolerate.
Lu Fan, however, remained composed, as if everything was under his control.
In a sudden move, Lu Fan stepped forward, advancing towards the Sacred City's Old Ancestor with a potent killing intent.
"So strong!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor's face contorted, his heart filled with shock.
The aura Lu Fan projected as he charged was extraordinary, instilling even him with a sense of dread.
"Old Ancestor, what's happening?"
Gu Tongtian exclaimed, his heart filled with confusion. He had never imagined that even the Sacred City's Old Ancestor would show apprehension.
"So powerful, such a powerful aura!"
The Old Ancestor was shaken, "How can he possess such a formidable presence!"
"Invincible beneath the gods!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "What does it matter if you're a Heavenly Lord Ninth Realm expert!"
With these words, everyone trembled, finding it almost unbelievable.
The aura Lu Fan displayed was indeed quite astonishing.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor exclaimed, his heart filled with fear. At least in his opinion, things should not have turned out this way.
"I am already a Heavenly Lord expert, no one can control me!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Therefore, you are destined to lose today!"
Faced with these words, the Sacred City's Old Ancestor was full of disbelief, yet Lu Fan's displayed strength had indeed left him deeply shaken.
"Old Ancestor, this brat is too arrogant, he must be suppressed!"
Gu Tongtian's voice echoed, filled with a chilling edge.
In response to these words, the Sacred City's Old Ancestor shook his head, "His strength is not inferior to mine. How can it be easy to suppress him!"
Gu Tongtian's expression shifted, unsure how to respond. He had not expected the Sacred City's Old Ancestor to speak in such a manner.
"What, you dare not attack?"
The corner of Lu Fan's mouth curved slightly as he spoke, his tone filled with a knowing implication.
"I, this old man, have finally reached the Heavenly Lord Ninth Realm, and I will not put myself in danger!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor stated frankly, "Therefore, this battle ends here. As for the matters of the Sacred City, I will no longer concern myself with them!"
"Old Ancestor!"
Everyone stood frozen, their faces etched with embarrassment. They had never imagined things would turn out this way, leaving them caught off guard.
"I cannot manage your affairs!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor waved his hand, appearing quite disheveled, as if he had seen through everything and no longer wished to remain.
"Old Ancestor, this is the Sacred City. If it is truly occupied by others, won't it be a disgrace to us!" Gu Tongtian pleaded repeatedly, "I implore the Old Ancestor to preside and seek justice for us!"
"You brat, stop yapping! Can't you see? I'm no match for him!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor said repeatedly, his face looking rather unpleasant. If he could defeat Lu Fan, he would have done so long ago and wouldn't be spouting nonsense here.
"This..."
Gu Tongtian stood dumbfounded, utterly bewildered. Under normal circumstances, the Sacred City's Old Ancestor, a Heavenly Lord Ninth Realm powerhouse, was an unparalleled figure, invincible.
Unless a deity descended, but the Sacred City's Old Ancestor's words left him utterly confused and caught off guard.
"What a disaster! I never thought that after living for so long, I would ultimately fall to a young man!" the Sacred City's Old Ancestor said helplessly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have emerged from seclusion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have encountered such trouble!"
The many experts of the Sacred City heard this, their faces filled with bewilderment. They had naturally not expected the Sacred City's Old Ancestor to speak in such a manner, leaving them quite perplexed.
Meanwhile, everyone could clearly sense that some matters were not as simple as they seemed.
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor's words must have had their reasons, leaving people somewhat shaken.
If what the Sacred City's Old Ancestor said was true, then this matter was indeed extraordinary, as Lu Fan's strength was also quite questionable.
"It's probably too late for you to leave now!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Even a Heavenly Lord Ninth Realm expert will likely perish here today!"
"Young brother, I have no significant ties to the Sacred City, and I will absolutely not interfere further in this matter!"
The Sacred City's Old Ancestor smiled, "Please spare my life!"
The assembled crowd was stunned. The dignified Old Ancestor of the current generation was actually behaving so subserviently.
