In these few days, Lu Fan had been in seclusion in the hotel, but the old eccentric had disappeared somewhere and there was still no news.
The matter of Lu Fan fighting the Jiang family patriarch had spread like wildfire, causing quite a stir.
Whether it was Lord Lu of Jiangnan or the patriarch of the Jiang family, both were Grandmaster realm experts. A battle between such powerful individuals naturally attracted much anticipation.
In these few days, many martial arts experts had come to Zhongzhou, paying even more attention to this matter. Before the Martial Arts Tournament even began, many people were already preparing to watch the show.
In a tavern, the members of the Overlord Saber Sect were drinking, their faces filled with excitement.
They had received the news and were even more thrilled. With the Overlord Saber Sect, it wasn't easy to deal with Lu Fan, but Lu Fan had offended the Jiang family, showing he was courting death.
"Sect Master, this matter was resolved without any effort, saving us a lot of trouble!" an elder said with a smile. "We can go watch the battle tomorrow and see how that Lu fellow is miserably defeated!"
"I originally thought that fellow Lu had some brains, but now it seems he's truly disappointing!" the Overlord Saber Sect Master sneered. "With him alone, he wants to deal with the Jiang family? Isn't that a fool's dream!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Old Master Jiang is a Heavenly Ranking existence. A mere Grandmaster from Jiangnan is simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The members of the Overlord Saber Sect spoke one after another, not optimistic about Lu Fan. At least in their eyes, offending the Jiang family was a dead end for Lu Fan.
Shen Shan sat to the side, but his brow was furrowed. He didn't actually believe Lu Fan would lose.
Among everyone present, only he had experienced Lu Fan's methods, and the memory was still vivid.
Although the Jiang family patriarch's strength was great, Lu Fan was not famous for nothing.
At night, Lu Fan completed his seclusion and was about to go out for a walk when Gu Wen arrived at the hotel.
"Why are you here?" Lu Fan asked in surprise. "Coming so late, could it be something important?"
"Master's attack on the Jiang family this time must be to escalate the situation and draw out Du Qianqiu!" Gu Wen said. "But as far as I know, Du Qianqiu is in the extraterrestrial battlefield, leading a force there!"
"Where did you get that information?" Lu Fan asked curiously.
"My brother is in the extraterrestrial battlefield, and he has a lot of intelligence!" Gu Wen said directly. "The Black Shadow Organization has always been mysterious, and even in the extraterrestrial battlefield, they have a not insignificant status!"
"Black Shadow Organization?" Lu Fan frowned. "I've never heard of it!"
"I came today to remind Master!" Gu Wen said. "My elder brother is afraid of implicating the Gu family, so he doesn't allow me to leave casually!"
"You are very thoughtful!" Lu Fan patted Gu Wen. "Your elder brother did the right thing!"
"Although I am a descendant of the Gu family, I am also a member of the Qingyun Sect. If Master is in trouble, your disciple will definitely protect you with his life!" Gu Wen said with a serious expression.
"With your words, it is enough!" Lu Fan nodded solemnly. "I am confident about the battle by Zhongzhou Lake tomorrow, so you don't need to worry!"
Gu Wen nodded solemnly, his eyes also becoming serious. He did not want Lu Fan to have an accident; this was his most genuine feeling.
After Gu Wen left, Lu Fan wandered alone outside the hotel. He went to a tavern, ordered a few bottles of wine, and didn't pay much attention to the battle tomorrow.
"Captain Long, it's him!"
Not far from the tavern, Jian Ying said, "Lord Lu of Jiangnan, young but with extraordinary strength!"
"If what you say is true, and he is already a Grandmaster at such a young age, then we can consider letting him join the Dragon Group!" Long Aotian said directly. "Recently, many strong individuals in the Dragon Kingdom have fallen, and we need such fresh blood!"
"Naturally, there will be no mistake!" Jian Ying nodded. "Why don't I go and test him myself?"
Long Aotian nodded slightly. He was the captain of the Dragon Group, possessing immense strength, and even in the Dragon Kingdom, he held a significant position.
Lu Fan was drinking when Jian Ying swaggered over. "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"Someone from the Dragon Group?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "An ultimate expert!"
"You've inquired quite clearly!" Jian Ying smiled. "But I'm not an ultimate expert. At least in the Dragon Kingdom, to be called an ultimate expert, one must at least be a War God of the Nation!"
"War God of the Nation?" Lu Fan was surprised. He had never heard of this title.
"That's right, only true powerhouses are worthy of being called ultimate experts!" Jian Ying chuckled.
"I'm not interested in these things!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But why did you suddenly come here?"
Lu Fan's words were sharp. He knew very well that someone from the Dragon Group would only appear suddenly if they had a purpose.
He was always vigilant towards people from the Dragon Group. With such terrifying strength, no one wanted to provoke them.
"Naturally, I'm here to cause trouble!"
As soon as Jian Ying finished speaking, he struck Lu Fan with a palm.
Lu Fan retreated sharply, frowning. He took a step back and moved ten meters away.
"I have no enmity with you, why are you doing this?"
Lu Fan said coldly. "Even if you are an expert from the Dragon Group, you shouldn't be like this!"
"What the Dragon Group wants to do, no one can stop!"
Jian Ying smiled faintly. "So..."
"So you're here to assassinate me?"
Lu Fan sneered and took a step towards the Zhongzhou mountain body. Many people in the tavern were stunned.
The Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin, so it was normal to have martial arts experts, but to disappear with a single step, such a powerful existence was rarely encountered.
"Interesting!"
Jian Ying smiled playfully and followed. Long Aotian's voice transmission could be heard in his ear: "Just a sparring match, don't hurt him!"
"Captain Long, rest assured!"
Jian Ying smiled and increased his speed.
Not long after, Jian Ying arrived in a forest. Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Jian Ying. "You are a member of the Dragon Group after all, I don't want to hurt you!"
"You have quite a big mouth!" Jian Ying smiled. "In the martial world, not many can hurt me!"
"Is that so?" Lu Fan sneered. "Since that's the case, today I will try!"
In the dark shadows of the forest, Long Aotian watched quietly. He was quite satisfied with Lu Fan's demeanor.
"Captain Long, are you testing him?"
Han Bing appeared, wearing a cold ice dress.
"That's right, his foundation is good!" Long Aotian said with satisfaction. "If he joins the Dragon Group, I believe he will have a promising future."
"I saw this person in Chu Prefecture, and he indeed has some ability." Han Bing nodded. "Lord Lu of Jiangnan fought against four Grandmasters with his own strength!"
"Such talent is indeed suitable for the Dragon Group!" Long Aotian nodded with satisfaction.
As they were talking, Jian Ying and Lu Fan had already exchanged several rounds.
To Jian Ying's surprise, in such a short time, he couldn't be sure of defeating Lu Fan.
"People from the Dragon Group are indeed formidable!"
Lu Fan retreated a few meters. "The rumors are not false."
"You also surprise me greatly!" Jian Ying said seriously. "In today's martial world, without the appearance of hidden experts, no one can last more than three moves against me!"
"Jian Ying, that's enough."
Long Aotian stepped forward, and Han Bing followed closely behind.
Lu Fan looked at the person in front of him and immediately became vigilant. He thought Jian Ying was already terrifying, but the man in front of him was even more so.
