"What, are you planning to make a move?"
The scar-faced man’s expression turned hostile. "If that's the case, I'll play along with you!"
"Miss Lin, the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Wulong Town, must not be harmed in any way!"
Uncle Biao stated directly, "If you want anything else, I won't stop you, but if you dare touch my young lady, I will never agree!"
"This is the Qingyuan Mountain Range, not a place where your agreement matters!"
With a faint cold smile, the scar-faced man spoke again, "If you refuse today, I will take your head! And you will all be trapped here!"
"Since that's the case, then I'll take your dog head!"
Lin Miaoke was furious. She swung her common weapon, and as a spiritual practitioner, she could not tolerate such humiliation.
The scar-faced man dodged, a hint of ruthlessness showing. "Your skills are not weak; you are also a spiritual practitioner!"
"If you're scared, then get lost now!"
Lin Miaoke said coldly, "Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
"Brothers, take him down!"
The scar-faced man was aggressive and quite displeased. Near the Qingyuan Mountain Range, he was the leader of the bandits, and everyone had to show him respect. Now that Lin Miaoke had threatened him, how could he easily compromise?
Following his words, many bandits surged forward, attacking Lin Miaoke. They did not hesitate to aim for vital points.
"Miss, you go first!"
Uncle Biao, along with the Lin family guards, rushed forward, shielding Lin Miaoke behind them. His expression grew tense. He knew very well that if this continued, they would all perish here.
If only they died, it would be one thing, but Lin Miaoke could not afford to be harmed. Otherwise, they would be letting down the Lin family.
The Lin family had shown them immense kindness, and they would never allow Lin Miaoke to be threatened.
As everyone engaged, Uncle Biao also clashed with the scar-faced man. Both were cultivators at the ninth realm of spiritual power, and their techniques were fierce and sharp. Anyone who dared to be careless would surely meet a violent end, and no one doubted this.
"What powerful saber techniques!"
The scar-faced man said coldly, "It seems I underestimated you!"
"Whether you underestimated me or not, I don't know, but we will never agree to you harming my young lady!"
Uncle Biao’s eyes were cold. "If you retreat now, there might still be room for negotiation!"
"What a joke. We are bandits. If we don't get what we want, why would we easily retreat!"
The scar-faced man said coldly, "Are you thinking things are too simple? Today, it's either you die or I die!"
At that moment, the scar-faced man attacked again. Uncle Biao did not hold back his strength. Unfortunately, the bandits were too numerous, and their cultivation levels surpassed those of the Lin family guards. As a result, more than half of the Lin family guards had already met their demise.
Lin Miaoke was also surrounded by more than a dozen bandits. These bandits were like desperadoes, showing no mercy. With a few turns, Lin Miaoke nearly met her end.
Uncle Biao and the scar-faced man were locked in a fierce battle, and Uncle Biao was extremely anxious. Lin Miaoke being surrounded like this was a dire situation.
However, just then, Lu Fan appeared beside Lin Miaoke. Grabbing her, he instantly moved a hundred meters away, his speed incredibly fast, making it impossible for these bandits to react.
"How can he be so fast!"
One of the bandits was bewildered and became more vigilant towards Lu Fan.
"Are you alright?"
Lu Fan looked at Lin Miaoke. "Leave these bandits to me!"
"Leave them to you?"
Lin Miaoke looked astonished and somewhat surprised. Lu Fan's words carried a certain aura. If it were an ordinary person, who would dare to speak such bold words?
"Are you sure? These bandits are not weak!" Lin Miaoke spoke again.
"It's fine. They won't gain anything from me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand and stepped forward, charging towards the dozens of bandits. He hadn't wanted to act or reveal his identity, but the situation was urgent. If he didn't intervene, Lin Miaoke and the others would be in danger.
Seeing Lu Fan charge at them, the dozen bandits sneered, thinking he had come to die. They fiercely attacked Lu Fan, but in their eyes, he was insignificant. In an instant, they were all sent flying by Lu Fan.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man's face instantly darkened. He hadn't expected the Lin family to have such a master.
He himself couldn't achieve what Lu Fan had done – repelling more than a dozen bandits with a single blow.
Upon witnessing this scene, Uncle Biao was also slightly surprised. They had thought Lu Fan was just an ordinary person, but it seemed he had misjudged. Lu Fan was not only not ordinary, but likely an unparalleled master, otherwise, how could he possess such strength?
After repelling the bandits, Lu Fan drew his Tai Xu Sword. A surge of sword intent swept out, and in an instant, most of the bandits perished. Only the scar-faced man remained standing.
Seeing this, the scar-faced man dared not hesitate. He quickly fled, his face filled with fear. He had never imagined that Lu Fan's strength would be so formidable. Even if he himself had attacked, he would only become a soul under the sword.
"Since I've made a move, it won't be so easy to escape!"
Lu Fan let out a cold smile, his killing intent rising, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
In that instant, the Tai Xu Sword was drawn and thrust towards the scar-faced man. The scar-faced man turned to block, but under the immense sword intent, he instantly met his end.
"Defeated!"
Uncle Biao stared in shock at the scene. The scar-faced man was a nine-star expert, and Lu Fan had dealt with him so easily, which was simply unbelievable.
"They've been dealt with!"
Lu Fan said, "However, the Qingyuan Mountain Range isn't very safe!"
"How can you be so strong?"
Lin Miaoke looked at Lu Fan. "You can even kill a nine-star expert in an instant. Have you reached the Spiritual Master realm?"
"I'm not entirely sure!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "But dealing with a few rabble is not a problem!"
Lu Fan's words left Uncle Biao speechless. Calling nine-star experts mere rabble was not something an ordinary person would say.
"I apologize for my earlier offense. I hope Mr. Lu doesn't mind!"
Uncle Biao said to Lu Fan, extending an olive branch. After all, with Lu Fan's strength, he was not only a top figure in Wulong Town but also in the entire Baishui City.
"We are friends, and it's natural to help each other!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "It's just that I acted too slowly earlier. If I had acted sooner, the Lin family wouldn't have suffered any casualties!"
"This is a natural disaster and a man-made calamity; no one can be blamed!" Uncle Biao waved his hand.
