"You presumptuous brat, do you think your exceptional talent gives you the right to be arrogant?"
Lu Tiannan's icy voice echoed, his formidable aura crushing down on Lu Fan. He was a peak Saint realm expert, his power naturally extraordinary. With Lu Fan's current strength, he was no match for him.
In that instant, Lu Fan felt an immense pressure, so strong that it was almost unbearable.
"Is this the aura of a peak Saint?"
Lu Fan muttered, his brow furrowed. The sheer power of a peak Saint was beyond his expectations. He had initially believed only Saint King level experts could threaten him, but it seemed that was not the case.
"He's finally making his move!" Elder Hua frowned. "It's a pity, such a talented young man. Given time, he would surely become a force to be reckoned with."
Faced with the scene before her, Fairy Baihua felt helpless. She wished she could save Lu Fan, but the Xuan Guang Holy Land was a power beyond her control.
In that very moment, Lu Tiannan breached Lu Fan's Saint Domain, his presence radiating an overwhelming force. In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan was forced back a dozen paces, his face turning ashen.
Simultaneously, the onlookers gasped in astonishment, never imagining Lu Tiannan's strength to be so immense.
Lu Fan had stood his ground against the combined assault of four elders, yet Lu Tiannan's single move instantly put him at a disadvantage, clearly illustrating the vast difference in their power.
"It seems I underestimated you!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "To be the Grand Elder of a Holy Land, one's capabilities are indeed beyond compare!"
"You not only underestimated me, but you also underestimated the entire Xuan Guang Holy Land!" Lu Tiannan stated coldly. "The Holy Land is not a place you can offend, nor a force you can manipulate. Now that you have offended the Holy Land, not even the King of Heaven can save you!"
"What a joke. Do you truly believe you can kill me?"
Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze sharpening. In his eyes, even Lu Tiannan's personal intervention might not be enough to subdue him.
"I've met the arrogant and the ignorant, but I don't know which category you fall into!"
Lu Tiannan sneered, his aura radiating a savage intensity, his expression utterly indifferent.
Following these words, Lu Fan burst into laughter. "I am known as the Heaven-Born Assassin, a Saint-level assassin of the Dynasty, and I have never feared anything. If you truly possess the ability, then come at me. I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
"Ignorant fool!"
Lu Tiannan roared, charging directly at Lu Fan. A sharp, fierce wind accompanied his every step.
Lu Fan dared not be careless. After dodging, he immediately fled beyond the city limits of Hua City. Since Lu Tiannan had made his move, he could no longer linger, lest his life be in peril.
Within Hua City, not only Lu Tiannan but also other elders of the Holy Land were present. Lu Fan dared not underestimate the situation; any mishap would be beyond his control.
Seeing Lu Fan effortlessly break through the formation, Lu Tiannan's brow furrowed slightly, and he gave chase.
Meanwhile, the people of Hua City followed suit, their eyes filled with anticipation. They were eager to see if Lu Fan could escape the Holy Land's pursuit.
Fairy Baihua, in particular, had already unleashed her divine abilities and was pursuing Lu Fan's direction. She did not wish for Lu Fan to meet with misfortune, but the current situation was extremely disadvantageous for him.
"Let us pursue together, we must not let this brat escape our grasp!" the four elders of Xuan Guang Holy Land declared.
Lu Fan's young age belied his cultivation, and he had even managed to suppress them. If he were allowed to grow further, it would be detrimental to the entire Xuan Guang Holy Land.
News of this incident spread like wildfire, causing quite a stir in the Eastern Domain. The Xuan Guang Holy Land had deployed five elders to deal with Hao Tian of the Assassin Dynasty.
More importantly, Hao Tian had managed to escape. This was monumental news for the entire Eastern Domain, as no one had ever heard of anyone escaping the clutches of a Holy Land before.
Many even speculated that the Xuan Guang Holy Land might have been hesitant to offend the Assassin Dynasty, which was why they allowed Lu Fan to escape. It was the only explanation that made sense.
Gui Ying and Mudan, moving at their utmost speed, rushed towards Lion Peak. The only thing they could do now was to inform Jian Bei as quickly as possible, thereby saving Lu Fan's life.
After all, how could Lu Fan, alone, withstand so many experts from the Xuan Guang Holy Land?
Concurrently, the entire Eastern Domain was in turmoil, with many exclaiming in disbelief. Never before had anyone provoked the Holy Land to such an extent, being attacked by five elders and escaping a formation – it was an operation that left everyone bewildered.
To impede Lu Fan, the five elders split into five formations, converging on Lu Fan from different directions.
Since they had decided to act against Lu Fan, they would not show any mercy. Now that it had come to this, they were determined to eliminate him completely, which was their sole objective.
Lu Fan clearly sensed their intentions and let out a cold sneer. With five elders forming five formations to surround and kill him, wouldn't it be easy for him to break through one, or even kill an elder?
With this thought, Lu Fan did not hesitate. He instantly changed direction, surging towards another formation. This formation had the weakest aura, and he could even silently eliminate the elder there, thus freeing himself from the threat.
More importantly, Lu Fan knew very well that these people would not give up. If he wasn't decisive, how could he protect himself?
In the sky above, a white-haired elder was pursuing Lu Fan at extreme speed. However, in that instant, he felt an unparalleled killing intent, causing him to halt abruptly, his eyes widening in terror.
In that very moment, spiritual energy surged from Lu Fan's palm, and the Art of Gui Xi was unleashed to its fullest. Before the elder could react, he was forcibly killed by Lu Fan.
Simultaneously, Lu Fan moved towards other directions, his killing intent intensifying. These individuals had shown no mercy towards him, and Lu Fan, in turn, would not be lenient.
In that instant, Lu Fan arrived before another elder. The elder's face contorted in shock, naturally not expecting Lu Fan to be so audacious as to confront him directly.
"You boy have quite the nerve. We are pursuing you, yet you walk right into our trap!" the elder stated coldly.
