"This Bewitching Formation is not particularly powerful. The person who set it up for you is likely one of those few individuals from earlier!" Hong Meng the old man stated directly, "Once the Bewitching Formation is broken, you will be able to see their true faces."
Lu Fan nodded slightly and then asked, "How can the Bewitching Formation be broken?"
"To break the Bewitching Formation, you first need powerful spiritual energy," Hong Meng the old man said seriously. "Follow the steps I tell you and walk simultaneously, and it shouldn't take long to break this Bewitching Formation."
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not daring to delay. He had been framed within the formation, and if he was too careless, his life might be in danger.
After receiving guidance from Hong Meng the old man, Lu Fan's spiritual energy surged, and he finally broke out of the Bewitching Formation.
Outside the Bewitching Formation, Xia Donghai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lu Fan with even more surprise. "I truly didn't expect you to be so formidable not only in alchemy but also in strength, to be able to break my Bewitching Formation!"
"I have no enmity with you, why are you doing this to me?" Lu Fan said coldly. "You were all smiles just now at the Alchemist Guild. As expected, you have wolfish ambitions. Did President Lei instruct you to do this?"
"How could President Lei do such a thing!" Xia Donghai said coldly. "I am waiting here. You have no other intentions. If you cannot break my Bewitching Formation, it will be your death. If you can break it, I will let you live, provided you hand over your Alchemy Tower emblem!"
"So you're after the emblem?"
Lu Fan sneered instantly. "If you have the ability, you can take the emblem yourself. If your alchemy skills are not good enough, you resort to forceful snatching. Isn't this kind of behavior laughable?"
"You talk too much. If you leave the emblem, I naturally won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, your life might be in danger!"
His expression was indifferent as Xia Donghai said coldly.
"This is truly a joke, with just you?" Lu Fan sneered coldly. "You might not realize it yet, but I am not only an alchemist but also a spirit cultivator. My strength is not inferior to yours."
Facing these words, Xia Donghai instantly sneered, "You will have to take responsibility for what you said!"
As soon as the words fell, three old men appeared beside Xia Donghai. These three old men had extremely strong auras and did not seem like ordinary individuals.
Seeing these three old men, Lu Fan frowned slightly. "This is a bit unsportsmanlike. To deal with just me, you've called so many experts!"
"It was a necessary measure!"
Xia Donghai shook his head. "After all, I must have that emblem, and you are being uncooperative, so I have no choice but to do this!"
"Even so, you won't get the emblem!" Lu Fan shrugged, a faint cold glint appearing in his eyes.
"You may not realize it yet, but these three are all peak Great Spirit Masters. With just you, you likely won't be able to escape even with wings!" Xia Donghai said with a faint smile, showing no reservations. Su Dan Novel Network
Since he had decided to act, he would not hesitate or show mercy.
"Peak Great Spirit Masters?"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed. If it were just one, he might be able to fight, but three peak Great Spirit Masters were quite troublesome.
"Young man, do not be too arrogant. If the three of us make a move, you will likely only meet your death!" the white-haired old man said with a smile. "Why not hand over the item and preserve your life?"
"If that were the case, wouldn't it make me a laughingstock?" Lu Fan said coldly. "This emblem was obtained through my own strength. What right do you have to take it away?"
"Stop talking nonsense with him, attack directly!"
With indifference in his eyes, Xia Donghai said coldly, "What I want, I will obtain."
At that very moment, the three old men stepped into the air, like arrows released from a bow. They were already peak Great Spirit Masters, even on the verge of stepping into the Spirit King realm. Such powerful beings were not something ordinary people could contend with.
Lu Fan dodged and weaved. After dozens of exchanges, even his chest bore a wound. With his current strength, dealing with three experts was quite difficult.
"Senior Hong Meng, please think of a way! What should we do now?" Lin Ke asked anxiously.
"It's alright. This kid's potential still needs to be developed. Let him resist for a while longer," Hong Meng the old man said with a smile. "As long as his life is not in danger, it's not a big deal."
Lu Fan stood there, his face instantly filled with embarrassment. He never imagined that Hong Meng the old man would say such a heartless thing, preparing to push him into the fire.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, Xia Donghai sneered, "I think you should stop struggling. Why not surrender obediently? Perhaps your life can be spared then."
"I will not yield easily!" Lu Fan sneered. "Moreover, what kind of ability is it to rely on family power!"
Xia Donghai's expression turned angry, mixed with apprehension and displeasure. He harbored a killing intent towards Lu Fan.
Lu Fan's figure retreated continuously, his eyes showing a hint of panic. Facing the attacks of the three experts, he was somewhat helpless.
At that very moment, Lu Fan stepped forward again but was sent flying by a palm strike from an old man. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned even paler.
If it were just one peak Great Spirit Master, he wouldn't be so disheveled. Facing three experts, he was somewhat hesitant to act.
"Senior Hong Meng!"
Lin Ke looked at Hong Meng the old man with a pitiable expression. He did not wish to see Lu Fan lying dead.
However, just then, a sword shadow appeared before Lu Fan, simultaneously blocking the attacks of the three.
"Junior Brother Lu, are you alright?"
Bi Yao spoke, "I was worried something might happen to you, so I came specifically. I didn't expect my guess to be correct."
"Senior Sister Bi Yao, their strength is not weak!" Lu Fan said. "You must be careful when you act, don't fall into their trap!"
"Don't worry, with just them, they are no match for me!" Bi Yao rubbed her fists, her eyes becoming sharp.
At that very moment, she charged towards the three old men, carrying a terrifying aura.
Sensing such a terrifying aura, the three old men were startled and quickly retreated. However, before they could react, they were repelled by a powerful surge of spiritual energy.
*Puff...*
The three old men spat out blood, looking at Bi Yao with disbelief. "Spirit King, are you in the Spirit King realm?"
"You have some discernment!" Bi Yao nodded slightly. "I am indeed a Spirit King realm expert. Offending me has no good ending. Now, none of you will be able to leave."
The expressions of the three old men changed, and they looked helpless. They knew very well that if a Spirit King realm expert wanted to take their lives, they had no chance of survival.
In the blink of an eye, the three old men met their demise, without any warning. They didn't even have time to cry out, appearing quite terrifying and chilling.
