The other elders’ faces turned ashen. The strength Lu Fan had just displayed was enough to shock them. If Lu Fan were to make a forceful move, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to stop him.
“Why does the Dragon Country have such a powerful individual!” one elder exclaimed, his face pale. “How can we possibly contend against them!”
The other elders’ expressions shifted. They hadn’t expected Lu Fan to be so strong, so strong that they themselves felt fear.
“All along, the Azure Sky Country has bullied the weak. Today, I’d like to see how you intend to show your strength!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
These more than ten War King powerhouses, though not weak in strength, were nothing in his eyes. As long as Lu Fan willed it, they would not be able to escape.
Meanwhile, within Death Valley, Yan Cangtian was drinking fine wine when a man approached. “Elder Yan, the helicopters of the elders who came to reinforce us have been destroyed. It’s likely something major has happened, and we’ve lost contact!”
“How could this be?”
Yan Cangtian’s face turned ashen, and he abruptly stood up. “Who dared to do this! Who has such audacity!”
“Elder Yan, could it be someone from the Dragon Country!” Elder Wuji interjected. “The Dragon Country has produced a guardian god. I’ve clashed with him before; he wasn’t my match, nor could he possess such power. However, looking at it now, his strength must have greatly increased!”
“Hmph! The Dragon Country’s guardian god!” Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes. “I’d like to see what this brat is capable of!”
“That’s precisely what I intend!” Elder Wuji stated. “Making a move now is the best opportunity. We can annihilate everyone at the Dragon Country’s extraterritorial stronghold. This way, we can also enter the Dragon Country’s ancestral land sooner!”
Yan Cangtian said no more, directly summoning numerous powerhouses. In an instant, martial powerhouses from Death Valley poured out, carrying overwhelming might.
Many martial arts experts from the Dragon Country had already ambushed the surroundings, poised to strike. They were well aware that there was no retreat; today, there was only a fight to the death.
If the Three Great Alliances did not retreat, the Dragon Country would cease to exist. When the nest is overturned, how can any eggs remain intact?
A hundred miles outside Death Valley, Lu Fan had forcefully annihilated seven or eight War King powerhouses. The remaining three or four War King powerhouses’ expressions shifted, and they continuously retreated. A powerhouse like Lu Fan was enough to make them tremble.
“Go, let’s get out of here quickly!” one elder exclaimed in terror, fleeing for his life. He knew very well that if he didn’t leave now, endless disaster would befall him.
“Do you think you can escape?” Lu Fan’s expression was cold. “I didn’t plan on letting you go!”
This single sentence sent shivers down their spines, and their expressions changed. They understood perfectly what it meant.
“At worst, we’ll fight him, even if it means mutual destruction!” one elder, with a fiery temperament, swung his great saber and charged directly at Lu Fan.
Lu Fan revealed a wicked smile. With a single palm strike, he killed the elder. Lu Fan’s current actual combat strength was likely beyond the resistance of ordinary War Kings.
The remaining two War Kings’ eyes were filled with dread and astonishment. They never would have imagined Lu Fan to be this powerful. Even if the ten of them had attacked together, they would still have died at Lu Fan’s hands.
After completely dealing with them, Lu Fan then looked towards Death Valley, a cold smile appearing on his face. “Since you want to play, I’ll play with you until the end!”
Lu Fan’s voice was icy, carrying wisps of cold light. The Azure Sky Country wished to destroy the Dragon Country, and Lu Fan would never agree. Now that it had come to this, there was only a battle.
Within Death Valley, Yan Cangtian was about to leave when shouts of battle suddenly erupted from all directions, sounding deafening. The men showed no fear, directly taking the lead and charging towards the Three Great Alliances.
The experts from the three great nations were startled. They had always been the invaders of the Dragon Country, but they never expected the Dragon Country to counterattack with such ferocity and an unwavering resolve, as if it were a fight to the death.
For a time, many experts from the three great nations were greatly frightened, even harboring thoughts of retreat. They were invaders in the first place, and their resolve was not firm. Compared to the people of the Dragon Country, they were far inferior.
“Everyone, hold your ground!”
Elder Wuji stepped into the air, instantly unleashing his internal energy and forcefully killing several fleeing Grandmasters. Only then did the others regain their senses and engage in battle with the Dragon Country’s forces.
Yan Cangtian’s expression turned cold. “It seems all of this was calculated by them!”
“Even without the Azure Sky Elders’ reinforcement, we can still annihilate them all!” Elder Wuji stated coldly. “Elder Yan, you surely won’t doubt my words!”
“What you just said is exactly what I was thinking!” Yan Cangtian smiled. “They’ve walked right into our trap, saving us a lot of trouble!”
“Yan Cangtian, Elder Wuji, I trust you are well!”
The Seventh Elder cupped his fists and smiled, his expression even more chilling. He then glanced at several other elders.
“The Dragon Country is truly devoid of talent, sending you as the leader to command the extraterritorial battlefield!” Yan Cangtian glanced dismissively. “When I broke through to War King, I was merely a Grandmaster. What gives you the confidence to argue with me here now?”
“Elder Yan has a good memory!” the Seventh Elder smiled. “It was 30 years ago. Thirty years ago, the Dragon Country and the Azure Sky Country were on friendly terms, and you, as an envoy, came to our Dragon Country. Your attitude was not like this then!”
“Thirty years ago is thirty years ago. The current Dragon Country is vulnerable. Do you still want to act tough in front of the Azure Sky Country?” Yan Cangtian sneered. “I advise you not to resist. Perhaps you can still save your lives!” Su Dan Novel Network
“We are all people of the Dragon Country. Our lives mean nothing to us!” Long Aotian said coldly. “Defending the capital is our dream!”
“With just you lot?”
Yan Cangtian sneered and soared into the sky. The people at the extraterritorial stronghold were all here, and he had no reason to hold back now.
Elder Wuji and Elder Black Bear chuckled, then stood not far away, waiting for Yan Cangtian to make his move. With Yan Cangtian’s strength, let alone the few War Kings present, even if a few more came, they would likely be insufficient.
The Seventh Elder and the others looked solemn, not daring to be careless. They were all too aware of Yan Cangtian’s immense strength. If they were even slightly careless, they would all perish here. This was the might of a War King.
“We can only stall him. Don’t clash with him head-on!” the Ninth Elder advised. He knew very well that Yan Cangtian was too strong, and with just a few of them, they might not be able to suppress Yan Cangtian.
The others all nodded, also understanding that dealing with Yan Cangtian was not that simple.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Cangtian charged towards the elders like a swift wind. The Dragon Country had a total of five War Kings on their side.
With just a single move, Long Aotian and Elder Yeshan were heavily injured, spitting blood and their faces instantly turning pale. They had only recently broken through to War King, and under Yan Cangtian’s powerful assault, they appeared too fragile.
Even the three elders of the Dragon Country’s expressions changed, and they were sent flying backward.
