As Elder Feng departed, Elder Yu spoke, "Our mission this time is to overthrow the Dragon Kingdom. Within three days, the Dragon Kingdom will be under our control!"
"We cannot be careless!"
Elder Lei interjected, "The Dragon Kingdom has persisted to this day, so it must have its unique strengths. However, this endeavor must achieve its objective. Otherwise, upon our return, we will have no standing!"
"Elder Lei, please be at ease."
Elder Yu chuckled lightly, "The Azure Kingdom has made thorough preparations. Even if there are masters within the Dragon Kingdom, they will surely be intercepted. This matter will proceed smoothly!"
Meanwhile, in the battle involving the Ninth Elder, the experts from the Azure Kingdom were in low spirits. Three Battle King powerhouses had been dealt with. Such formidable combat strength was beyond their capabilities.
However, they dared not retreat an inch. Their presence in the Dragon Kingdom was under orders from headquarters. If they were defeated, a return would likely mean certain death.
"Defend our capital, by blood we swear!"
Lu Fan, clad in battle armor, stood at the center of the fray, exuding an imposing aura. His surrounding energy field instantly reached its zenith, striking awe into the hearts of the Azure Kingdom's experts, causing them to retreat in droves.
The Dragon Kingdom's warriors were instantly filled with patriotic fervor, their combat strength soaring. This cast a grim expression upon the faces of the Azure Kingdom's forces. Yet, with the Azure Kingdom boasting a multitude of formidable experts, even the fearless Dragon Kingdom warriors found no advantage.
"What an audacious young man, to single-handedly slay three Battle Kings! You truly impress me!"
A chilling voice echoed as a white-haired elder stepped forth, his gaze dismissive, radiating a powerful aura that further intensified the chaos of the battle.
"It's Elder Feng!"
The Azure Kingdom's experts rejoiced. They had not anticipated Elder Feng personally intervening to oversee this engagement.
The Ninth Elder, who was cross-legged and recovering, frowned upon sensing Elder Feng's presence. "Lu kid, you must be extremely careful. He is definitely not simple!"
"Rest assured, Ninth Elder!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, then looked towards Elder Feng. "The Azure Kingdom truly knows how to invest. They've dispatched a Battle Emperor. It seems they are determined to conquer our Dragon Kingdom!"
"What is the mere Dragon Kingdom to us? If you surrender, we might spare your life!"
Elder Feng's voice was cold as he looked at Lu Fan, "Otherwise, it's a dead end!"
"Although the Azure Kingdom is powerful, as a son of the Dragon Kingdom, how could I possibly compromise with you!"
Lu Fan's eyes blazed with killing intent. "Those who offend my Dragon Kingdom shall be killed without mercy!"
"Well said, 'killed without mercy'!"
Elder Feng burst into laughter, his eyes filled with coldness. Lu Fan's words incited his amusement rather than anger. The Dragon Kingdom was utterly insignificant in the eyes of the Azure Kingdom, yet Lu Fan dared to be so arrogant.
Meanwhile, in other battlefronts, many of the Dragon Kingdom's warriors had fallen, appearing outnumbered. The other elders were also in peril, their faces grave.
Lu Fan wasted no more time, launching himself directly at Elder Feng. He discarded all finesse, engaging in close-quarters combat with bare hands. Only this way could he fell the elder before him in a short span.
Many martial arts experts were astonished. They were well aware that Elder Feng of the Azure Kingdom was a Battle Emperor. Lu Fan's disregard for this fact demonstrated his unwavering resolve. Su Dan Novel Network.
Feeling the fierce offensive, Elder Feng's expression turned icy. As an elder of the Azure Kingdom and a Battle Emperor, how could he be so disrespected?
In the blink of an eye, he clashed with Lu Fan. The scene was magnificent, the very surrounding rocks cracking under the impact.
Nearby martial artists quickly retreated. The battles of Emperor-level experts were beyond their influence, and such immense power caused them considerable alarm.
*Boom...*
An explosive sound erupted. Lu Fan was sent flying backward, while Elder Feng also retreated sharply, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He glared at Lu Fan with icy eyes, "I truly did not expect such a powerful individual to exist within the Dragon Kingdom!"
"There are many more things you haven't expected!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Today, I shall see how you intend to destroy my Dragon Kingdom!"
"Hmph!"
Elder Feng said no more. He stomped his foot on the ground, and a fierce gust of wind erupted. Many Dragon Kingdom warriors were instantly killed by this powerful gale.
Sensing the potent surge of energy, Lu Fan's expression faltered slightly. Such a formidable wind forced even him to temporarily evade its brunt.
The Dragon Kingdom's warriors were filled with apprehension. Lu Fan was the soul of the Dragon Kingdom. If anything happened to him, the Dragon Kingdom might truly be finished.
Seeing Lu Fan constantly evading, Elder Feng chuckled heartily. While he gained no advantage in close combat, his overall strength was not inferior. If it came to a full-fledged contest of power, he would not be weaker than Lu Fan.
"Azure scoundrel!"
Lu Fan cursed, rising into the air like an arrow loosed from a bow, hurtling towards Elder Feng. He had been accumulating power, and now his momentum was established; he would show no mercy.
Sensing a mortal threat, Elder Feng's expression changed instantly. He stepped towards the mountain peak ahead, intending to lure Lu Fan towards Elder Lei and the others. This way, the three of them could join forces to eliminate Lu Fan.
"What is happening?"
Elder Yu frowned. "Elder Feng is at a disadvantage!"
Elder Lei waved his hand. "Elder Feng's speed is exceptional. Even if he is at a disadvantage, his life is not in danger!"
However, in that very instant, they sensed something was amiss. Lu Fan was closing in on Elder Feng, who was desperately fleeing. Despite employing his utmost skill, he could not shake off Lu Fan.
"Not good!"
Elder Lei exclaimed in alarm and hastened his steps. Lu Fan had employed some unknown movement technique, surpassing even Elder Feng's speed. If this were truly the case, Elder Feng would be in grave danger.
After all, Lu Fan's fighting style was entirely a gamble of life for life, while Elder Feng dared not engage in a head-on confrontation, only able to flee. In such a scenario, he was most vulnerable.
Elder Feng's face turned ashen. Among Battle Emperors, he was renowned for his speed, yet he had never imagined Lu Fan would be so swift. If they engaged in close combat, he was no match for Lu Fan. Furthermore, with Lu Fan's current momentum, a single blow could result in lifelong disability or even death.
Lu Fan's expression was equally grim. He had long sensed two powerful presences on the opposite mountain. If he could not eliminate Elder Feng promptly, he would face greater peril once the other two arrived.
Therefore, in that instant, Lu Fan unleashed the Sky-Walking Art. His body moved like lightning, creating gusts of wind wherever he passed.
*Boom...*
Another explosive sound reverberated. Elder Feng's body was sent flying, feeling a searing pain in his back. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the ground, instantly rendered incapable of fighting.
The Dragon Kingdom's warriors rejoiced. Lu Fan had slain an Azure Kingdom Battle Emperor within a few exchanges, dramatically bolstering the Dragon Kingdom's combat strength.
