Lu Fan was suppressed beneath the Dharma Seal, his entire being weak and depleted. However, he did not compromise; even if he were to fall in battle here, he would never yield easily.
"Sect Master, please strike him down! We absolutely cannot let him escape!"
The elders of the Tianshui Pavilion spoke, their eyes filled with a chilling glint. In their view, if Lu Fan survived, he would undoubtedly become a significant threat to the Tianshui Pavilion in the future.
Facing these words, the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion did not hesitate. In the blink of an eye, the Dharma Seal was unleashed to its fullest extent.
Lu Fan's aura was locked down, and he felt a deep sense of helplessness. He knew that escaping this calamity today was likely impossible.
At that very instant, Lu Fan's body was continuously pressed downwards, appearing incredibly disheveled. He had never expected things to escalate to this point, nor that he would perish here.
"Ignorant fool, daring to be so arrogant upon arriving in the Central Continent!" the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion sneered, a cold light in his eyes. It seemed that in his view, all of this was insignificant.
Lu Fan struggled to hold on. Even though he had unleashed his domain power, he still found it difficult to resist the overwhelming pressure. Helplessness gnawed at his heart.
However, at that precise moment, a divine radiance surged forth. The powerful fluctuations caused everyone present to look on in confusion, wondering what had happened.
Simultaneously, the young master of the Tao family, holding the Tongtian Mirror, stood tall in the sky, directly forcing the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion to retreat.
The Tongtian Mirror continued to awaken, its power appearing terrifying to the extreme. This left everyone present utterly bewildered, unsure of what was happening to cause such a dramatic turn of events, which was quite shocking.
Upon seeing the figure of the young master of the Tao family, Lu Fan's heart filled with joy. He had never expected the young master of the Tao family to appear here.
"Brother Lu, are you alright?"
The young master of the Tao family spoke, his gaze falling upon Lu Fan. His expression was grave; had he been a moment later, it could have led to unforeseen disaster, which would undoubtedly have been a catastrophe for Lu Fan.
"Brother Tao, why are you here?"
Lu Fan rose, his joy deepening. With the Tongtian Mirror present, he was completely unharmed. Moreover, even if the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion wanted to deal with him, he would now have to reconsider.
"Who are you, and why are you interfering with me?"
The Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion looked towards the young master of the Tao family, his eyes filled with a chilling glint. However, he dared not be overly arrogant, as the young master of the Tao family possessed a peerless divine weapon. Once activated, it would undoubtedly cause endless trouble.
"He is my friend. No matter what happens to him, I will not let you harm him!"
The young master of the Tao family stated coldly, "I hope you do not seek death here!"
"Your words carry quite a bit of weight!"
The Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion said coldly, "My Tianshui Pavilion has never suffered such humiliation. Do you show any regard for my Tianshui Pavilion by acting this way?"
"I never consider others when I act. I advise you not to offend me here!" the young master of the Tao family stated coldly, "Otherwise, you will surely regret it, and even the entire Tianshui Pavilion will regret it!"
Faced with these words, the expressions of everyone present shifted. They had never expected the young master of the Tao family to utter such words, which left them somewhat shocked and incredulous.
At the same time, the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion's face instantly turned grim. He had never imagined that the young master of the Tao family would be so assertive, completely disregarding him in his speech. How could he accept this?
"Sect Master, he possesses a peerless divine weapon. If we act against him, it will likely cause endless trouble!" a white-haired elder interjected, his brow furrowed. He had truly not expected things to turn out this way, catching them completely off guard.
Meanwhile, the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion's face was ashen. He had never expected someone to come to Lu Fan's rescue. It had seemed certain that Lu Fan was doomed, but now things had taken such a turn.
At that precise moment, the young master of the Tao family once again fixed his gaze on the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion, "I have already made myself clear. I hope you do not provoke me, or I will show no mercy!"
"I don't care what relationship you have with him. He killed one of my Tianshui Pavilion elders and must pay the price he deserves!" the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion said coldly, "Do you think you can do as you please just because you wield a peerless divine weapon? If so, you underestimate the Central Continent too much. Within the Central Continent, peerless divine weapons are not the absolute authority!"
"You talk too much!"
The young master of the Tao family's expression was indifferent as the might of the peerless divine weapon gradually unfolded, exuding an overwhelming aura that was exceptionally terrifying.
The head of the Huo family, witnessing the scene from not far away, furrowed his brow slightly, unsure of what to do. Clearly, he had not anticipated that Lu Fan would have such backing.
Behind the young master of the Tao family were more than a dozen elders. These elders were not weak. If they were to make a move, the people of the Tianshui Pavilion would not be able to withstand it.
These elders were sent by the ancient aristocratic families to protect the young master of the Tao family, hence each of them possessed extraordinary strength.
To ensure the safety of the young master of the Tao family, even the Tongtian Mirror was personally carried by him. This was enough to show how high the expectations of the Guanggu Tao family were for their young master.
"Brother Tao, please do not come into conflict with them!" Lu Fan said, "This matter is ultimately mine, and I cannot implicate the Tao family!"
"We are sworn friends, and your affairs are my affairs!"
With a serious look, the young master of the Tao family stated directly, "Therefore, you need not worry too much. With me here, no one will be able to harm you!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly at these words, not saying much more. Some things were simply like this, with no need to be overly explicit.
"Are you truly going to stand up for him?" the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion looked at the young master of the Tao family, "If that is the case, you will likely receive special treatment throughout the Central Continent in the future!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Are you threatening me?" the young master of the Tao family narrowed his eyes, "I fear threats the least. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
Faced with these words, the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion's face turned ashen, and he seemed at a loss for words. These statements left him somewhat bewildered.
The people of the Tianshui Pavilion exchanged glances but dared not say anything more. The situation had reached this point, filling them with apprehension.
After all, this was a peerless divine weapon. Once activated, it would be world-destroying, something they could not resist.
At this moment, the head of the Huo family, with a cold expression, could only leave helplessly. He knew that facing a peerless divine weapon, the Sect Master of Tianshui Pavilion had no recourse and could only compromise, refraining from saying anything further lest he be affected.
