"You think you can trick me? You're not capable of that!" the Gu family Saint sneered, showing no regard in his words as he charged towards Lu Fan.
He was a Saint, a genuine one at that. How could Lu Fan's petty tricks fool him? While the Shen Huang Ding was powerful, it was incapable of opposing a Saint.
However, the moment he drew near, the Shen Huang Ding controlled by Lu Fan instantly unleashed an unparalleled aura that surged towards him. Furthermore, the deterrence of this Shen Huang Ding was even more potent than a Saint's aura.
Upon seeing this, the Gu family Saint's expression immediately turned grim and uncertain. He had never imagined that the methods Lu Fan employed could reach such a level. With the Shen Huang Ding, he could even threaten him.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
The Gu family Saint retreated continuously, his eyes filled with horror. He had never expected Lu Fan to be able to injure him. Just moments ago, with the aura of the Shen Huang Ding, Lu Fan had wounded him, something he could not tolerate.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I told you earlier that this Shen Huang Ding can even slay Saints. You must know by now that I wasn't lying to you!"
The Gu family Saint's face turned ashen. He was already severely injured, with one arm cleanly severed by a divine radiance from the Shen Huang Ding. Having roamed the Tai Yan Dynasty for so many years, he had never suffered such a loss.
"If you don't leave now, I will truly kill you!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Don't think that just because you're a Saint, I won't dare to act. Don't forget that several of your Gu family members have already died by my hand!"
"As a dignified Saint, how could I possibly be threatened by you!" the Gu family Saint sneered. "Even if I die a tragic death today, I will never compromise with you!"
"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back!"
Lu Fan soared into the sky, his aura reaching its peak. His eyes turned sharp. He wanted to see just how far the might of the Shen Huang Ding could go, whether it could truly help him kill a Saint.
If it truly had such miraculous effects, he would not let the Gu family Saint off easily.
At that very instant, the might of the Shen Huang Ding continuously emanated, its aura even permeating the entire Tai Yan Dynasty, causing many powerful figures to observe, wondering what had happened.
"What a powerful aura!"
The Gu family Saint was filled with shock. He had never imagined that the might of the Shen Huang Ding would be so terrifying. Perhaps even a Saint would be insignificant before this Shen Huang Ding.
"The aura of the Shen Huang Ding!"
Liuli frowned. "Could it be that Lu Fan has gone to war with the Gu family Saint? Otherwise, why would there be such a powerful aura?"
"How can he be a match for a Saint alone!"
Bi Qing's brow furrowed slightly. "You all return to Tongtian Academy first. I'll go see what's happening."
"If you're going, we're all going!"
Liuli stated directly. "We all came out together, so naturally, we go together!"
"That's right, we will never seek to survive by betraying our companions!" Shen Yehong nodded. "If anything happens to Lu Fan, how can we live with ourselves!"
Bi Qing was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "Since that's the case, then we shall all go together!"
And at this very moment, the deterrence of the Shen Huang Ding controlled by Lu Fan grew stronger, even extending into the Imperial City.
Within the Imperial City, everyone felt a sense of unease, not knowing what had happened to cause such a terrifying aura. They had never experienced such divine power before.
Lu Fan, controlling the Shen Huang Ding, felt his face turn pale. Although he now possessed half-Saint combat power, fully controlling the Shen Huang Ding was still extremely strenuous. He could even feel the Shen Huang Ding constantly absorbing his spiritual energy. If this continued, his life would be in danger.
However, at this moment, Lu Fan was unable to control the Shen Huang Ding, nor could he retract its aura, leaving him in a highly passive state.
The Gu family Saint suddenly rose, attempting to forcefully resist the divine radiance of the Shen Huang Ding, but was instantly slain by a divine radiance from the Shen Huang Ding, without any pause.
Seeing this scene before him, Lu Fan felt a surge of panic. Now that the Gu family Saint was dead, he still couldn't control the Shen Huang Ding. If this continued, he would likely explode.
"Kid, you have to hold on!"
The voice of the ancient elder Hong Meng rang out. "This Shen Huang Ding possesses boundless power, it is an ancient divine weapon that is gradually awakening. If you can control it, you will become its master. If you cannot control it, you will likely be annihilated by its divine radiance!"
"The Shen Huang Ding's aura is so powerful, how can I possibly resist it alone!"
Lu Fan's expression was grim. "Old man, hurry and think of a solution! If this continues, I will surely explode!"
"This Shen Huang Ding has been with you for many years, it should not harm you!" the ancient elder Hong Meng said helplessly. He also had no solution. For such an ancient divine weapon, if it were to fully awaken, let alone the entire Tai Yan Plaza, even the entire Eastern Region would tremble.
And at this very moment, throughout the Eastern Region, various great holy lands were observing, not knowing what had happened to cause even the entire Eastern Region to begin to shake. It was likely a divine weapon emerging, otherwise, there would not be such divine power.
Countless powerful figures rushed out, their hearts filled with greed. They knew very well what divine weapons were. If one could obtain a divine weapon, they could even establish a great holy land.
And in the land of the Eastern Region, the dignity of the holy lands was inviolable. Whether it was a dynasty or Tongtian Academy, they were merely morning dew before the holy lands.
Now, supreme experts from the holy lands were dispatched, all in search of this divine weapon.
At the same time, Bi Qing and the others arrived before Lu Fan. Seeing Lu Fan supporting the Shen Huang Ding, they quickly said, "Junior Brother Lu Fan, why don't you retract this Shen Huang Ding?"
"The Shen Huang Ding possesses boundless power, even I cannot control it!" Lu Fan shook his head. "Hurry and leave, do not come any closer!"
"But with the power of this Shen Huang Ding, how can it be stopped?" Shen Yehong asked anxiously. He did not wish for anything to happen to Lu Fan.
"The Shen Huang Ding contains divine power, it cannot be easily moved."
Lu Fan said seriously. "You all leave quickly, I have my own way of dealing with this!"
Bi Qing and the others frowned, but showed no intention of leaving. Lu Fan had left the academy with them, so how could they abandon Lu Fan.
Meanwhile, within the Imperial City of the Tai Yan Dynasty, many experts reported, "Your Majesty, many powerful figures from the Eastern Region have infiltrated the Tai Yan Dynasty. I fear it is detrimental to the dynasty!"
"This matter is beyond the dynasty's control!" The Tai Yan Emperor frowned slightly.
