After a round of exchanges, Lu Fan could clearly feel that these people were not simple and their strength was extremely high.
More importantly, the leader in black seemed to be an Immortal Emperor realm expert. If that were the case, it would not be easy to subdue them.
"Slay him quickly, without fail!"
The leader in black's voice was cold, with a hint of chilling light. At this point, he would not hold back.
After all, he was ordered to come here specifically to take Lu Fan's life.
"Just you lot?"
Lu Fan's lips curved slightly. Although these people were not weak, and some were more than ten Martial Emperor level experts, Lu Fan was no longer what he used to be and could not be dealt with by these few.
In that instant, Lu Fan had already killed several black-clothed men, and his gaze became even sharper.
This was right under the Imperial City, and he was the commander of the Heavenly Dynasty. For someone to attack him here was truly audacious.
Seeing this, the leader in black's eyes instantly became sharp. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so formidable, capable of killing several of the Dark Guard's experts in an instant.
To cultivate these experts, Grand Tutor Wen had put in a lot of effort, but in front of Lu Fan, it seemed insignificant.
"Boss, this person is extremely powerful. With our strength, we might not be able to intercept and kill him!"
A black-clothed man sensed something was wrong and quickly reminded him, his eyes showing a hint of panic. They had not expected things to turn out this way, catching them off guard.
"The order from above is that no matter the cost, he must die!" the leader in black said coldly. "If they return to the Imperial Capital alive, our mission will have failed!"
Facing these words, everyone nodded slightly and dared not say more. Even if they had to fight with all their might, they would not hesitate, as this was an extremely important matter for them.
At the same time, Lu Fan also clearly felt that these people had a determination to die. If that were the case, it would not be a good thing for him.
And in that instant, Lu Fan unleashed his spiritual power in a powerful offensive, killing several more black-clothed men. At the same time, his lips curved slightly: "Just a few of you are no match for me. More importantly, you should know that I possess an ancient artifact, bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor!"
"So what!" the leader in black retorted, pushing towards Lu Fan with a single palm, his eyes becoming even sharper.
He knew very well that if he could not capture Lu Fan today, he would not be able to return to the Imperial City and complete his mission. Therefore, even if they died today, they would die here.
Boom...
With a rumble, the leader in black was violently forced back, his face instantly turning somewhat ashen. He had not expected Lu Fan to be able to block his move without any issue.
He was the leader of the Dark Guard, and an expert in the Immortal Emperor realm. Under normal circumstances, it should not have been like this.
"You lost!"
Lu Fan's voice was cold. "And you are no match for me, even if you are an expert in the Immortal Emperor realm!"
"You have not reached the Immortal Emperor realm, yet you possess such strength!"
The black-clothed leader frowned, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan with a chilling intensity. He had not expected Lu Fan to achieve this much.
"I haven't reached the Immortal Emperor realm, but what can an Immortal Emperor realm expert do to me!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, his eyes growing colder, as if in his eyes, these black-clothed men were simply insignificant.
At the same time, the black-clothed leader's expression turned grim. It seemed that completing the mission today would not be easy. With Lu Fan's strength, they were no match for him.
However, Grand Tutor Wen had given a death order. Even if they had to die today, they could only do so here.
Thinking of this, the black-clothed leader did not hesitate and directly attacked Lu Fan, his eyes sharpening.
And in the blink of an eye, Lu Fan unleashed a powerful offensive, once again sending the black-clothed leader flying. At the same time, he intercepted and killed all the other black-clothed men. In his eyes, these people were like ants, utterly insignificant.
Pfft...
The black-clothed leader spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with unwillingness. Although he had only recently reached the Immortal Emperor realm, he was still an Immortal Emperor realm expert. In front of Lu Fan, he appeared so vulnerable, how could he accept this.
"Speak! Who sent you!"
Lu Fan's lips curved slightly, and he spoke directly, with a chilling glint in his eyes.
"Even if I die today, you will never know!" the black-clothed leader sneered, intending to forcibly self-detonate his spiritual power.
However, in that instant, Lu Fan sealed his spiritual power and swiftly moved in front of the black-clothed man. "I'll give you one more chance. If you tell me who the mastermind is, I won't make things difficult for you, and I might even spare your life. But if you persist in your stubbornness, I have a hundred ways to torment you!"
"I've already said, I will not tell you!" the black-clothed leader replied coldly. "There's no need for you to say more!"
"Very well, very well!"
Lu Fan's words were indifferent, carrying a chilling glint. It seemed that in his eyes, the black-clothed leader's words had completely angered him.
At the same time, the black-clothed leader's expression was calm. Even facing death, he showed no fear.
Lu Fan immediately sneered, "Do you really think I would kill you just like that?"
"Whatever you wish! I will not say a word anyway!" The black-clothed leader closed his eyes, his gaze becoming even colder. He had already prepared himself and was therefore fearless.
Lu Fan said no more, directly taking him back to the military camp. For an Immortal Emperor realm expert to intercept him clearly indicated a desire to kill him. Lu Fan could not tolerate such a matter lightly.
"What is going on?"
The Northern County Princess spoke. "Was it him just now?"
"It should be them!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "More than ten black-clothed men have been completely annihilated by me!"
"There was such a thing?"
Eunuch Xue Long walked over, his brows furrowed slightly. "Is the Commander injured?"
"With just a few of them, they naturally couldn't injure me!" Lu Fan shook his head. "But they are not from the Hell Dynasty, but from the Imperial City!"
"People from the Imperial City!" Eunuch Xue Long was startled, his expression changing. If that were truly the case, it would not be a good thing.
After all, for people from the Imperial City to intercept the Commander was no trivial matter; it was an act against heaven and earth.
Prince Jiu also frowned. "Who exactly dares to be so presumptuous!"
