Lu Fan's aura surged: "Please inform everyone, even if the Sun Sect Master personally arrives, he cannot stop the general trend!"
"Such arrogance!"
The elders sneered. As members of an ancient sect, they possessed inherent pride. With their Sect Master present, why would they show fear?
"If you are a guest, you are welcome. If you are an enemy, we will show no mercy!"
Lu Fan spoke again, his formidable aura erupting. Before the elders could react, they were sent flying by Lu Fan, utterly incapable of fighting back.
Gazing at the spitting elder, Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, devoid of any pity.
"What is happening? He hasn't reached the Battle Emperor realm, yet he possesses such strength!"
An elder rose, feeling his bones about to scatter. He could barely stand steady.
"He must be hiding his strength!" another elder frowned.
Lu Fan stood aside, his gaze growing more indifferent. He had deliberately held back, not wishing to push things too far. Otherwise, these elders would likely have met their demise long ago.
"As expected of the Lord of the Dragon Kingdom, possessing such courage!"
Just then, in the distance, a bridal sedan chair soared through the sky. Outside the sedan chair, four top experts carried it, ascending into the heavens.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan's brow furrowed. While he did not fear Battle Emperor realm experts, the aura within the sedan chair was even stronger than that of the Azure Kingdom's ruler.
"Your subordinate pays respects to the Sect Master!"
The elders cupped their fists, their eyes filled with reverence.
A white-haired woman stepped out of the sedan chair, radiating an immense aura that commanded submission from all who felt it.
"Are you the Sun Sect Master?" Lu Fan frowned. "Your aura is indeed not weak, but if you intend to obstruct the Dragon Kingdom's destiny, I will not yield!"
"Such audacious words!"
The Sun Sect Master sneered, her expression turning icy. The black veil she wore suddenly lashed out, creating gusts of wind wherever it passed.
Lu Fan's figure shot into the sky, his senses on high alert. He was acutely aware that the old woman before him possessed formidable strength, and any underestimation would lead to his utter ruin.
Seeing her attack miss, the Sun Sect Master's brow furrowed. "You do possess some strength, but that is all!"
As she spoke, the Sun Sect Master attacked again. As a third-stage Battle Emperor, she was a top expert among all the ancient sects. Even with Lu Fan's extraordinary talent, it would not be easy for him to gain an advantage against her.
After a period of intense fighting, Lu Fan retreated sharply, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. Even with the Dragon Kingdom's destiny bolstering him, Lu Fan was still outmatched by such immense power.
"Young people are still just young people!"
The Sun Sect Master smiled. "Now, move aside, and perhaps I can spare your life!"
"As an ancient sect, you should know your place!"
Lu Fan sneered. "Good and evil will eventually be repaid. Though your strength is formidable, you must also understand that the Dragon Kingdom's destiny has awakened. Before long, it will surely become a true dynasty!"
"Rest assured, besides the Sun Sect, there are other sects as well. They will absolutely not allow the Dragon Dynasty to rise."
The Sun Sect Master spoke coldly. "The Dragon Dynasty will be strangled in its cradle."
"As I suspected, you harbor ill intentions."
Lu Fan's expression turned frigid. As the acting ruler of the Dragon Dynasty, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
"You are no match for me. Seeing you as a peerless talent, I shall spare you today!"
The Sun Sect Master spoke coldly, then, with her many elders, prepared to force their way into the Dragon Capital. As members of ancient sects, they absolutely refused to allow the Dragon Kingdom to rise. If the Dragon Dynasty were to be established, it would endanger the interests of numerous ancient sects, a prospect they could not bear. Sudan Novel Network
"Do you truly believe you can enter the Dragon Capital?"
Lu Fan let out a cold laugh and abruptly stood up. An ancient aura emanated from him, and a sharp sword appeared on his arm.
"Tai Xu Sword Intent!"
The Sun Sect Master's expression shifted, her brow furrowing slightly. She knew very well the power of the Tai Xu Sword, which possessed world-destroying capabilities even in ancient times.
"The Tai Xu Sword is an artifact of the ancient Lu Clan. If you can control it, do you perhaps carry the Lu Clan's bloodline?" the Sun Sect Master inquired coldly.
"I am a direct descendant of the Lu Clan!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "Otherwise, how could the Tai Xu Sword be wielded by me!"
"A direct descendant of the Lu Clan!"
The Sun Sect Master frowned. "Since you are from an ancient clan, why do you aid a dynasty? Do you not know? In ancient times, dynasties were terrifying. We ancient powers did not wish for dynasties to be established!"
"I am well aware, but for the sake of the dynasty's people, I must stop you here today!"
Lu Fan stated plainly. "If you insist on forcing your way through, I will show no mercy!"
The Sun Sect Master burst into laughter. "In ancient times, the Sun Sect would have bowed in submission. But now, the Lu Clan has long since declined, with very few remaining. How can you threaten me!"
"Since that is the case, then let us fight!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. Holding the Tai Xu Sword, his entire being exuded a formidable aura. Although he had not reached the Battle Emperor realm, with the Dragon Kingdom's destiny bolstering him, he could break through at any moment to reach an extremely high level.
The Sun Sect Master spoke no further, turning and striding towards Lu Fan. Fierce winds accompanied her movements, and as a third-stage Battle Emperor, her powerful aura was enough to awe everyone.
Lu Fan, holding the Tai Xu Sword, showed no intention of evading. Instead, he soared into the sky, a surge of Tai Xu Sword Intent arising spontaneously.
Boom...
The immense impact caused the Dragon Capital itself to tremble. The Sun Sect Master retreated three steps, then looked at Lu Fan again. "How is this possible? You haven't even reached Battle Emperor, yet you possess such strength?"
"Tai Xu Sword Intent combined with the dynasty's destiny is enough to elevate me another tier!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If you leave now, you might escape with your life. Otherwise, you will surely die!"
As Lu Fan finished speaking, the Tai Xu Sword was plunged into the ground, radiating supreme sword intent. Sword marks spread across the land wherever it passed.
The members of the Sun Sect were greatly shaken. While they knew Lu Fan was powerful, they never expected that even the Sun Sect Master would be no match for him. This situation was indeed quite troublesome.
"As the Sun Sect Master, how can I allow you to dictate terms!"
With a cold glint in her eyes, the Sun Sect Master looked at Lu Fan. "I wish to see just how far you can go, to dare to be so arrogant!"
With that, the Sun Sect Master ascended into the air, channeling her powerful internal energy towards Lu Fan. As a third-stage Battle Emperor, she would not easily compromise.
Sensing the powerful gust of wind, Lu Fan's expression turned frigid. The Tai Xu Sword in his hand was instantly unleashed, slashing horizontally towards the Sun Sect Master.
The sound of impact rang out again. The Sun Sect Master, unable to dodge in time, had an arm cleanly severed by the Tai Xu Sword. The sight of the bloody limb was chilling and deeply unsettling.
