Facing the onslaught of three Great Saint-level powerhouses, Lu Fan did not retreat. Instead, his eyes grew calm. "Actually, I'm very curious if I can fight three at once!"
"Fight three at once?" Hua Yu sneered. "You're quite bold. I wonder if you have the strength! I'll be waiting to see!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, looking meaningfully at the three figures, a faint cold glint in his eyes.
In that instant, the area where Lu Fan was located turned into ruins. Everyone present felt a pang of worry, especially Qing Die and Bai Die, who didn't know what to do. They hadn't expected the three Great Saints to be so powerful, and Lu Fan was killed on the spot without even a chance to react.
Hua Yu and the others stood aside, a faint smile on their faces. They hadn't expected things to be so simple. With the three of them joining forces, Lu Fan was no match at all.
"I thought this kid had some skills! Turns out he's nothing special!" the Cang Ying clan leader sneered. "When people are completely without hope, they eventually head towards their demise and are slaughtered by my beast race!"
"Things might not be that simple!"
Chang Feng shook his head. "A person capable of Great Saint-level strength wouldn't be dealt with so easily!"
"What do you mean by that?" the Cang Ying clan leader frowned. "Are you saying this kid is still alive?"
"Can't you sense it? This aura still exists!" Chang Feng stated directly. "Therefore, he must be alive!"
At these words, Cang Ying's expression instantly turned somewhat grim. If that were truly the case, it would be too terrifying to disappear and conceal his presence right under their noses.
"Since you're not dead, why play these tricks?" Chang Feng sneered, looking around.
At the same time, Hua Yu also looked in all directions, trying to find Lu Fan's hidden figure.
"I am indeed not dead!"
In that very moment, Lu Fan appeared behind them, his gaze even more serious. Simultaneously, the human race members let out a gasp. According to normal circumstances, Lu Fan should have been in trouble, but they didn't expect him to be alive and appear perfectly fine.
"You kid are truly formidable, unable to be killed even by that!" the Cang Ying clan leader said coldly. "However, you managed to dodge the first blow, but you might not be able to dodge the second!"
"Is that so?"
In that instant, another figure appeared. This figure was identical to Lu Fan, appearing completely unreserved, and looking extremely similar to Lu Fan, as if cast from the same mold.
"How can there be two?"
Qing Die blinked slightly, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. After all, they had never seen two figures appear at the same time. Both figures had substance, and each entity was incredibly real.
"How is this possible!" Hua Yu was shocked. "What's going on? Why has it become like this? What methods does this kid have!"
At the same time, Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, looking even more indifferent. "This is a secret art from the Central Continent Academy. This secret art is extraordinary; it can not only transform into a figure but also transform into the true body!"
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean you have an immortal body!" Hua Yu said coldly. "I've never heard of the human race having such a secret art. It's utter nonsense!"
"Then have you heard of 'Yi Qi Hua San Qing'?"
In that instant, another voice sounded. Lu Fan's figure appeared, and a total of three figures stood before them, looking at ease, each with its own soul.
"'Yi Qi Hua San Qing'?"
Many people among the human race exclaimed. If they possessed such powerful means, they would not fear the beast race. This was a great shock to them.
"Let's attack together and kill all three of them. This kid splitting into three people must have weakened his strength!" the Cang Ying clan leader declared.
Hua Yu also nodded slightly. At this point, they had no other choice. However, for some reason, he had a bad premonition, and this premonition was growing stronger.
"'Yi Qi Hua San Qing,' San Qing descends upon all things!" Lu Fan's voice was icy, and he muttered the incantation.
In that instant, the three figures engaged in battle with the three clan leaders. They seemed evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand, which made people suspicious.
"Fighting three Great Saints with one's own strength?"
On the city wall, many people exclaimed, their eyes filled with surging light. In fact, when the beast race slaughtered the Central Continent, they had despaired because the human race was unable to resist. But now, with Lu Fan able to fight three Great Saints single-handedly, didn't this mean their human race had hope?
Qing Die and Bai Die stood stunned, their hearts filled with shock. They never expected that the person who had walked with them was such a powerful expert, which inevitably left them shaken.
Hua Yu continued to attack, his heart also trembling. He never expected Lu Fan to be able to fight the three of them with his own strength. It had only been a year, and within that year, Lu Fan had reached such a level.
After a period of fighting, Hua Yu realized that they could not do anything to Lu Fan. Even one of Lu Fan's clones was enough to contend with them.
"His strength is the most formidable I have ever seen!"
With a serious look in his eyes, Chang Feng stated directly, "With our three strengths combined, we may not be able to defeat him."
The Cang Ying clan leader also nodded slightly at these words. He saw this very clearly, but he found it somewhat unbelievable, especially the events unfolding before him, which left him deeply shocked.
At the same time, on the human race's city wall, two figures suddenly appeared: Elder Wu Ming and Elder Ban Dao. Seeing Lu Fan perform 'Yi Qi Hua San Qing,' their hearts were filled with shock. This was a secret art of the Central Continent Academy, and 'Yi Qi Hua San Qing' required extremely high comprehension to be performed to its fullest extent.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a year, this kid has reached this point!" Elder Wu Ming said with a wry smile. "It seems our hopes were not in vain!"
"Yes! 'Yi Qi Hua San Qing,' this is truly 'Yi Qi Hua San Qing'!" Elder Ban Dao exclaimed excitedly. He knew very well what this represented.
"Elders, I'm about to collapse. If this barrier isn't opened soon, I'm going to die here!"
Seeing the two elders, Wu Ming and Ban Dao, Lu Fan quickly spoke, looking somewhat aggrieved. Fighting three Great Saints alone was extremely taxing for him. Although his 'Yi Qi Hua San Qing' could resist Great Saints, it had not yet reached the highest level. If he made even the slightest mistake, his life could be in danger.
"Open the barrier!"
Elder Wu Ming's voice rang out, his eyes filled with anticipation. Lu Fan's powerful return was a great event for them. At least, in their opinion, with Lu Fan holding the fort, their human race would not have to worry so much.
Without any hesitation, everyone infused their spiritual energy, forcefully opening the barrier.
Seeing that the barrier had been opened, Elder Wu Ming and Elder Ban Dao rushed out and engaged in battle with Hua Yu and the others. Now that their strength surpassed that of the beast race, they were naturally fearless, especially since the other Great Saints of the beast race had not yet arrived.
"Not good, we are no match for them!" Hua Yu frowned. "Let's leave here first. Once the other Great Saints gather, we will fight the human race to the death!"
Everyone present nodded, not daring to be negligent. They knew very well that Lu Fan's strength was so formidable that he alone could hold them back. With the addition of the two Great Saints of the human race, they had no chance of winning.
Seeing them flee in disarray, the human race members let out a cheer, their hearts filled with joy. This was the first time they had defeated the beast race, and it held extraordinary significance for them.
Seeing the Great Saints of the beast race flee, Lu Fan had no intention of pursuing them. After all, the strength of the three Great Saints should not be underestimated, and he naturally did not dare to be careless.
"Quick, enter the barrier!"
Elder Wu Ming reminded them. If the other Great Saints of the beast race were to arrive at this moment, it would be a disaster for the human race. They knew very well that even with Lu Fan's arrival, they could not contend with the entire beast race.
Qing Die and Bai Die stepped into the city without hesitation, their eyes filled with the hope of survival. Before, they had been as good as dead, but now their thoughts had changed.
At the same time, Elder Wu Ming looked at Lu Fan. "You kid are truly formidable. Reaching this stage is quite surprising, but you still haven't broken through to Great Saint. It's best not to be too ostentatious!"
"I don't want to be ostentatious, but I can't help it!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "They kept chasing after me, so I had to fight them. Moreover, I came to human territory, and no one opened the barrier, which is why this happened!"
"It is all my ignorance that caused such a grave mistake!" the white-haired elder quickly stepped forward, looking extremely fawning. If he had known earlier that the person before him was Lu Fan, he would never have done such a thing.
"You were also thinking of the human race's safety, so I don't blame you!" Lu Fan waved his hand and then said to Elder Wu Ming, "Are so many humans in the Central Continent buried by the beast race?"
"That is inevitable!"
Elder Wu Ming shook his head helplessly. "Even if we were to intervene, we couldn't stop this catastrophe. If not for the protection of the ancient formations, the entire human race would probably be wiped out!"
"If that is truly the case, what should we do!" Lu Fan frowned. "The beast race has wolfish ambitions and has likely been coveting our human race for a long time!"
"That being said, our human race has produced many talents. In the past year or so, many young people have rapidly broken through. Under this pressure, they are also eager to gain power!" Elder Wu Ming stated directly. "It's just that our time is running out. This barrier will likely break in another two years, and by then, the beast race can directly enter the Eastern Region!"
Lu Fan stood aside, his brows furrowed. With his current strength, saving the entire human race was probably like a drop in the bucket. Su Dan Novel Network
"However, you kid don't need to worry too much. As the saying goes, the boat will reach its destination naturally. Our human race has been passed down for millions of years, so how can we be destroyed!" Elder Wu Ming said to comfort him.
