"I wish I could flay him, draw out his sinews!" Ouyang Qinghuo said coldly, "But to defy the elders, if discovered, I fear..."
"Since that's the case, then forget it," Ouyang Qingmu smiled. "I was just saying!"
Gazing at the outer-domain battlefield, Ouyang Qinghuo gritted his teeth. "Summon all the Hailuosha members. Tonight, we launch a night raid on the Starfall Outpost! After capturing the outpost, we must leave no trace behind!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Ouyang Qingmu cupped his fists, revealing his delight. He had been thoroughly defeated at White Cloud Peak, but he would not miss this opportunity at the Starfall Outpost.
Ouyang Qinghuo harbored a hidden worry. As the leader of Hailuosha, he was acting privately without receiving orders from his superiors. If the elders were to find out, it would surely lead to endless trouble.
Not long after, a precise small team departed from the Sea Kingdom, traversing the forest like phantoms. The leaders were the Ouyang siblings.
Within the Starfall Outpost, Zi Yue made all the arrangements before arriving at the Star Gazing Platform. "Lord Lu, the defenses around the Starfall Outpost have been set up according to your instructions."
"That is for the best!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "One hundred and eight Grandmasters forming the Divine Ghost Bagua Formation. I wonder about its power, but tonight we can test it!"
"Master, will someone really come tonight?" Han Qiushui asked in surprise. "I've never seen such a grand setup."
"The Sea Kingdom's outpost has been captured; how can they give up!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "However, it's always good to be prepared. With the Divine Ghost Bagua Formation gathered, even if I'm not at the Starfall Outpost, it can still injure a War King level expert if they intrude!"
"Is this Divine Ghost Bagua Formation truly that terrifying?" Han Yunhai asked with a hint of surprise.
"This is an ancient remnant formation, naturally it is extraordinary," Lu Fan stated. "Legend has it that the outer-domain battlefield is a remnant of an ancient battlefield. There are many things here, be it mineral resources or other rare treasures, all are priceless. You must not miss these opportunities!"
"Master, rest assured," Gu Wen said with a smile. "It won't be long before we advance further, and then the Azure Cloud Sect will be invincible!"
"If that can be achieved, it would be best!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, and at the same time, he glanced at another direction of the Starfall Outpost, where the Black Shadow Organization's outpost was located. Once he was strong enough, Lu Fan would personally visit it.
The night deepened, and all living things rested. The Starfall Outpost was quite silent, and on another hilltop, Ouyang Qinghuo gazed ahead. "That is the Starfall Outpost. Hailuosha members, heed my command! Infiltrate the outpost and intercept the Grandmasters there! As for the one named Lu, leave him to me!"
"Your subordinates obey!"
The Hailuosha members cupped their fists, facing death with determination. They always carried a death-defying spirit with them on every mission.
Ouyang Qingmu's eyes glinted with delight. With Hailuosha's strike this time, they would surely turn the situation upside down and annihilate Lu Fan and his companions. A half-step War King, about to become an elder of the Sea Kingdom, was undoubtedly unstoppable, not to be compared with mere commoners. Su Dan Novel Network.
When they entered the Starfall Outpost, they were quite surprised. There were no defenses along the way, and even the main gate was unguarded, which was unexpected.
However, the Hailuosha members were not flustered. Even if there were traps, they feared nothing. As War Spirit experts, Grandmasters were ultimately too weak before them, even a hundred of them.
On the Star Gazing Platform of the Starfall Outpost, Lu Fan looked at the crowd, his brows furrowed slightly. "Hailuosha? Are they the only ones?"
"It seems the Sea Kingdom has underestimated us!" Han Yunhai smiled. "Do they not know the Master's strength?"
"Elder Shangguan was pursued by Master that day. It is not widely known in the Sea Kingdom," Han Qiushui stated. "Except for a few elders of the Sea Kingdom. As for Hailuosha, they likely have no right to know, as it is too disgraceful!"
"I wanted to catch a big fish, but it seems I won't be able to fulfill my wish!"
Lu Fan shrugged helplessly and then stepped down.
At that very moment, the Starfall Outpost suddenly lit up. Every Grandmaster emanated a glow, their feet tracing the Bagua diagram, instantly activating the Bagua Formation.
The Hailuosha members were greatly alarmed. This aura alone was enough to make them tremble.
"I truly didn't expect that it would be you who came tonight!"
Lu Fan slowly stepped out, with Gu Wen and the others following behind.
"As expected, there's an ambush!" Ouyang Qingmu smiled. "But with just you, do you think you can surround us Hailuosha!"
"You are too conceited!" Han Yunhai chuckled. "This Divine Ghost Bagua Formation was developed for your elders; you are not qualified!"
"The Azure Cloud Sect is so arrogant?"
Ouyang Qinghuo said coldly, "How can the experts of my Sea Kingdom be slandered by others!"
"Half-step War King!" Lu Fan chuckled. "Your strength is indeed not bad, but you are too foolish."
"How do you know my realm!"
Ouyang Qinghuo's expression drastically changed. If the strength was not superior to his, how could it be so easily seen.
"Because Master is stronger than you!" Han Qiushui sneered. "If you don't even know this, what right do you have to come here looking for trouble?"
"How is this possible!" Ouyang Qingmu frowned. "Although his strength was strong in the battle at White Cloud Peak, he was only slightly stronger than me. How could he be a War King!"
"Your vision is too narrow!" Gu Wen shrugged. "White Cloud Peak is White Cloud Peak, and this is now the outer-domain battlefield; it's two different times!"
Ouyang Qingmu still didn't believe it. To become a War King, one needed great talent, as well as abundant resources, and even more so, immense willpower.
Ouyang Qinghuo, however, said nothing more. He instantly unleashed his dark arts and attacked Lu Fan. He was a half-step War King, and a War Spirit expert was no match for him.
"Master, be careful!"
Zi Yue quickly reminded him. She knew Lu Fan's abilities were extraordinary, but with such a fierce assault, if he was even slightly careless, there might be great trouble.
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent; he did not pay much attention. It was merely a half-step War King. Even a true War King would not be taken seriously by him.
Boom...
In that instant, Lu Fan threw a punch and collided with Ouyang Qinghuo.
Everyone present was shocked by such a powerful aura; even they felt a sense of dread.
When the dust settled, Lu Fan still stood in his original position, appearing unharmed, while Ouyang Qinghuo's face showed the pallor of death. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes widened in shock.
"How can this be!"
Ouyang Qinghuo was filled with disbelief. He, the dignified leader of Hailuosha, was actually defeated by an unknown individual.
He knew that not long ago, he was confident that within the Dragon Kingdom, no one other than the Dragon Kingdom's elders was his match. Now, he had been utterly humiliated.
Ouyang Qingmu knew that things had taken a turn for the worse. Without any hesitation, he took Ouyang Qinghuo and prepared to leave. The numerous experts of Hailuosha also reacted.
The Starfall Outpost was guarded by a War King level expert, which they could not possibly challenge. If they didn't leave quickly, they might lose their lives here, which was not what they desired.
