Guiying sat cross-legged, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He did not wish for Lu Fan and Mudan to sacrifice their lives for him, but it seemed no matter what he said, Lu Fan and Mudan would not leave.
At the same time, a large crowd had gathered outside the forest, their hushed discussions creating a lively atmosphere.
Unfortunately, they were unaware that Uncle Zhou had already locked onto them. Every single presence was within his control. Once Lu Fan and the others were dealt with, these onlookers would also have to die to prevent any leaks about today's events.
"This matter started because of me. Can you, for my sake, spare their lives?"
Just then, the Hundred Flowers Fairy arrived, her expression grave. She looked towards Chu Yunju, knowing he harbored feelings for her, and perhaps his words would carry weight.
"So it's the Hundred Flowers Fairy!" Chu Yunju smiled faintly. "Do you truly wish to save them?"
"Although I'm not well acquainted with them, we've met before. How can I stand by and watch them die tragically!" the Hundred Flowers Fairy stated directly. "If you are willing to let them go, I will fulfill any request you have in the future."
"Really?" Chu Yunju chuckled softly. "Are you willing to spend a night with me?"
The Hundred Flowers Fairy's brow furrowed, her expression shifting instantly. She clearly hadn't expected Chu Yunju to be so shameless in front of such a crowd.
"If you're unwilling, why bother to intervene?"
Chu Yunju sneered. "Moreover, as the Holy Son of the Xuan Guang Holy Land, it is your honor that I fancy you. Yet, you still show such disdain!"
"Holy Son, please don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant!" the Hundred Flowers Fairy shook her head. "However, what you're proposing is too embarrassing. Can we find another way?"
"Don't worry. Even if you were willing, I wouldn't spare them!"
Chu Yunju said with a cold smile, "Besides, there's no woman I desire that I cannot obtain."
"This has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!" Lu Fan said to the Hundred Flowers Fairy. "After all, if the Holy Son of the Xuan Guang Holy Land dies today, it will likely implicate you."
"This..."
The Hundred Flowers Fairy was slightly taken aback. Lu Fan's words seemed to hold a hidden meaning, making it difficult for her to discern his intentions.
Beside her, Bai He tugged at the Hundred Flowers Fairy, constantly pulling her backward. She was naturally terrified. Neither the Assassin Dynasty nor the Xuan Guang Holy Land were forces they could afford to offend.
"Judging by your tone, you intend to kill me today?" Chu Yunju said coldly. "I've seen arrogance before, but never such blatant arrogance. Your words are bold, but I wonder if you have the strength to back them up!"
"Won't we know if I have the strength by trying?" Lu Fan shrugged. "Your words are indeed quite bold. Today, I will show you the might of our Assassin Dynasty."
As soon as his words fell, Lu Fan's figure soared into the air, exuding an unparalleled dominance. He had now reached the Saint realm and had never easily made a move. Today presented a perfect opportunity, one he would not easily miss.
Uncle Zhou's aura was formidable, but Lu Fan felt a sense that Uncle Zhou was nothing to him. If he truly decided to act, Uncle Zhou would not be able to resist.
Sensing the terrifying aura, Guiying's heart jolted. He hadn't expected Lu Fan's strength to be so immense. It was no wonder he had been favored by the leader; he was truly an exceptional talent.
Uncle Zhou's brow also creased slightly. He hadn't anticipated that Lu Fan, despite his unassuming appearance, would display such an extraordinary aura, one that ordinary people could not contend with.
"This young man's aura is strong. Holy Son, be careful."
Uncle Zhou stood beside Chu Yunju, concerned for his safety. After all, he was the prospective Holy Son of the Xuan Guang Holy Land. Any harm to him would be an insult to the Xuan Guang Holy Land, and he himself would bear unavoidable responsibility.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. His aura is strong, but with you here, I feel at ease!" Chu Yunju smiled. "Besides, he's only a nascent Saint, while I am a mid-tier Saint. How could he possibly harm me?"
"Let me deal with the one named Zhou. You go deal with Chu Yunju!" Mudan interjected.
"They can break the Gui Xi technique, and they are high-tier Saints. You cannot handle them," Lu Fan shook his head. "You just protect Guiying. Leave the rest to me!"
Mudan was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Fan to say this, leaving her unsure how to respond.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy also frowned, her concern for Lu Fan growing. She knew that Uncle Zhou was an elder of the Xuan Guang Holy Land, possessing extraordinary strength that was not easily matched. If Lu Fan were to forcefully engage, he would undoubtedly bring trouble upon himself. Su Dan Novel Network.
"You guys go, don't mind me!" Guiying's face was pale. "Otherwise, you'll all die here!"
Lu Fan remained silent, his gaze fixed on Elder Zhou. "Make your move. Let me witness the capabilities of a high-tier Saint!"
"Do you think you're worthy of me displaying my skills?" Elder Zhou sneered. "Those who boast have never met a good end. You, young man, despite your talent, should not be so presumptuous. Today is your death day."
Elder Zhou's aura surged, his eyes sharpening, as if everything appeared mundane to him.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan's figure moved again. A powerful Saint force surged around him, enveloping the area within a hundred-mile radius, astonishing everyone. Even Elder Zhou was perplexed, unable to fathom how Lu Fan's Saint force could extend so far.
"Saint Domain! Could this be a Saint Domain?"
Exclamations erupted. The crowd turned their gazes towards Lu Fan, their expressions filled with awe. The technique Lu Fan had unleashed caught them off guard.
"How is this possible? How can there be such a terrifying Saint Domain?"
Chu Yunju frowned. One could activate a Saint Domain upon reaching the Saint energy level, but very few could truly achieve it. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to directly unleash such a formidable Saint Domain, which was truly shocking.
Guiying and Mudan were also surprised. They knew Lu Fan possessed extraordinary talent, but they were unaware that he could unleash a Saint Domain, catching them completely off guard.
"Wrath of Thunder!"
Lu Fan roared, and the surrounding energy exploded. Lightning filled the hundred-mile radius, causing everyone to tremble, unsure of what was happening.
At the same time, Elder Zhou's expression turned grim. "How is this possible? How can he be so strong? He's merely a nascent Saint, yet he possesses such a powerful Saint Domain!"
