Seeing the Ninth Elder fighting with one arm again, his ancient eyes filled with the will to die, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
After the Ninth Elder had slain two War Kings, he was trapped by three more, a situation of extreme peril where a single misstep could lead to his instant demise.
Many martial arts experts beside him wished to help but were themselves unable to break free, their hearts filled with despair.
With the elders of the Dragon Country present yet still unable to turn the tide of defeat, how could the Dragon Country possibly withstand this assault?
With this thought, a profound sorrow washed over them, driving them to a state of frenzy. Even if they were to be defeated in the end, they were determined to make the Azure Sky Country pay a price.
Perhaps this was their resolve, and their dedication to the Dragon Country.
The Ninth Elder stood alone, blocking three War Kings, stubbornly entangled by them. His severed arm was covered in blood, yet he did not retreat an inch, striking fear into the hearts of the three War Kings.
Even though they were fighting three against one, they were locked in a stalemate. Under normal circumstances, any one of them could have matched the Ninth Elder. However, driven by a death wish, the Ninth Elder's attacks were ferocious and relentless, with no thought of retreat.
These three War Kings were experts from other nations. They had joined the alliance merely to seize a share of the spoils, not to die here. Even with their combined might, they could not suppress the Ninth Elder.
But the Ninth Elder knew all too well that if this continued, he would not last. Having reached his limit while killing the two War Kings earlier, prolonging the fight would only lead to his death.
Sensing the Ninth Elder's waning strength, the three War Kings were instantly overjoyed. Now, they could unleash their full power, and the Ninth Elder would have no means to resist.
After a fierce exchange, the Ninth Elder spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to his knees, his body trembling, his arm mangled. He had lived his life without failing the Dragon Country or its people.
"Ninth Elder!"
Amidst the raging flames of war, shouts echoed from within the Dragon Country's borders. The eyes of the onlookers were filled with killing intent, and seeing the Ninth Elder fall ignited an unyielding defiance.
The three War Kings showed no mercy, their war blades slashing down, each eager to be the one to slay the Ninth Elder. They knew well that whoever struck the first blow against a Dragon Country elder would gain more when the Dragon Country eventually fell.
RUMBLE...
Just as despair gripped everyone, a figure descended from the sky, slamming into the three War Kings and sending them flying. Simultaneously, the entire battlefield was engulfed in a cloud of dust.
The Ninth Elder, on the verge of death, gazed at the scene before him with a flicker of joy in his eyes. "Lu Fan, it's Lu Fan!"
"Those who offend my Dragon Country shall be killed without mercy!"
Lu Fan, clad in battle armor, exuded an aura of supreme power that permeated the entire battlefield with an intimidating presence.
"Those who offend my Dragon Country shall be killed without mercy!"
"Those who offend my Dragon Country shall be killed without mercy!"
"Those who offend my Dragon Country shall be killed without mercy!"
A chorus of shouts erupted. The countless experts of the Dragon Country seemed possessed, their fighting spirit ignited. Their strength surged infinitely, and they faced any foe, even ten to one, without a trace of fear.
In an instant, the entire battlefield echoed with the same chant, for they knew their Dragon Country's guardian god had arrived.
Witnessing the surge in morale, the various elders also showed signs of joy. They had been under immense pressure, a pressure that made it difficult to breathe. Lu Fan's arrival not only inspired the troops but also gave the martial arts experts a glimmer of hope.
"Ninth Elder, I am late!"
Lu Fan expressed his guilt and helped the Ninth Elder to his feet. "Leave this place to me!"
"As an elder of the Dragon Country, one must never flee from battle!"
Despite his trembling form, the Ninth Elder refused to leave. He knew that their presence alone would instill unwavering resolve in the hearts of the people.
"In that case, Ninth Elder, you shall recuperate here. I will deal with them!"
Lu Fan's battle intent blazed, especially as he looked upon the enemies before him, his eyes filled with a murderous glare.
Seeing the dire turn of events, the three War Kings desperately sought to escape. They had heard tales of a Dragon Country guardian god whose strength was immense, a match even for Yan Cangtian. This must be the person before them.
Lu Fan's arrival had instantly boosted everyone's morale, a testament to his charisma. Without profound strength and a solid foundation, such potent influence would be impossible.
"Those who offend my Dragon Country will not escape!"
Lu Fan's expression was icy. In a flash, he appeared before the three War Kings. Having long mastered the Skywalker Art, his speed reached its pinnacle, far beyond the reach of ordinary individuals. Su Dan Novel Network.
"We are merely allies of the Azure Sky Country, not their War Kings!"
The three War Kings quickly declared, "If you let us live, we will depart and never trouble the Dragon Country!"
"If that were truly the case, you would not have set foot within the Dragon Country!" Lu Fan's expression remained cold. "Those who offend my Dragon Country shall be killed without mercy!"
"The three of us War Kings united, you may not be able to defeat us!"
One of them declared coldly, "Do not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Alas, before he could finish his words, Lu Fan flicked a single finger, ending his life instantly and without suspense. In Lu Fan's eyes, the War Kings were no more than ants.
Seeing the grim situation, the other two War Kings parted ways, fleeing in two different directions. This was perhaps their only chance at survival.
However, Lu Fan was now a War Emperor. Ordinary War Kings were like mere ants before him. In the blink of an eye, he dispatched them.
At this moment, the numerous experts brought by the three War Kings also began to flee in all directions. Although they knew the Azure Sky Country was teeming with powerful figures and that persistence would surely lead to the Dragon Country's dismantling,
Lu Fan's formidable power made them unwilling to risk their lives. Thus, in the vicinity of the Ninth Elder, only the experts of the Azure Sky Country were struggling to hold their ground.
On the opposing peak, the three elders, Feng, Yu, and Lei, observed Lu Fan with profound intent.
"To think that in an instant, he could kill three War Kings single-handedly. I fear none of us three could achieve such a feat!" Elder Lei remarked.
"This young man certainly possesses some strength, but what of it!" Elder Feng stated coldly. "I shall personally go and test his mettle, to see what his true strength is!"
"One cannot be careless!" Elder Yu frowned. "That young man is not simple!"
"Let him go!"
Elder Lei said, "Elder Feng is incredibly swift. Even if he cannot win, he can escape."
"Elder Lei, what are you saying!"
Elder Feng shot him a glare. "He is merely a junior of the Dragon Country, how could he be my match? Are you not just bolstering the enemy's morale and crushing our own?"
"I was merely speaking casually. Elder Feng, please do not be angered." Elder Lei quickly smiled. "However, you must be extra cautious!"
Elder Feng said nothing, departing directly. In his eyes, Lu Fan was insignificant, something he had never taken seriously.
