"Lord Lu, this is the Jiang family estate. How dare you make a move here!" The Jiang family head's expression was frigid. "Do you truly believe my Jiang family has no one to stand against you?"
"And what if I kill someone from your Jiang family?" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "I have come today to let your Jiang family know the consequences of associating with the Black Shadow organization!"
"Such an imposing presence!"
The Jiang family head sneered. "Even the Dragon Nation would not dare to treat my Jiang family like this, yet you act so brazenly within my domain!"
"Where are the disciples of the Qingyun Sect!"
Lu Fan's words carried a cold edge.
"We are here!"
The disciples of the Qingyun Sect cupped their fists, exuding immense power. After enduring so much training, they were no longer the Qingyun Sect of old.
"Leave no one from the Jiang family alive!"
At his command, the Qingyun Sect disciples surged forward, their intent to kill palpable.
The many experts of the Jiang family felt a surge of terror, like sheep facing a lion.
They knew full well that the Jiang family head was no match for Lu Fan. While the Jiang family might not fear the Qingyun Sect in terms of overall strength, their patriarch's inability to suppress Lu Fan meant the ultimate outcome would be defeat.
"Lord Lu, do you truly intend to go this far?" The Jiang family head's face turned ashen.
"There is only one hope for your Jiang family's survival now!" Lu Fan stated coldly. "Tell me, where is the Black Shadow organization's stronghold!"
"I do not know!" the Jiang family head replied with a cold demeanor. "Although the Jiang family has had dealings with the Black Shadow organization, how would I know their specific locations? Lord Lu, are you intentionally making things difficult for the Jiang family?"
"Since you do not know, why speak further!" Lu Fan said icily. "Then take your Jiang family into hell, along with your secrets!"
"You infuriate me!" The Jiang family head roared in anger. "Do you truly think my Jiang family is made of mud?"
The Jiang family head stepped forward, his punch carrying an overwhelming aura of killing intent as he lunged at Lu Fan.
As a martial arts family from the central region, the Jiang family had never suffered such humiliation. They would not yield to Lu Fan's actions.
"Foolishness!"
Lu Fan's eyes glinted with cold light as he met the charge with a punch of his own.
In an instant, a deafening roar echoed. The Jiang family head was sent flying backward, his face a mask of disbelief and fury. After the impact of that single blow, his arm bent at an unnatural angle. He was no match for Lu Fan.
That single exchange had instantly incapacitated him.
"You are not my opponent!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Do you truly wish to see your Jiang family destroyed?"
The Jiang family head's expression shifted. Gazing at his clansmen being cut down one after another, his heart seethed with rage. "My Jiang family will never forgive you!"
"Hmph!"
Lu Fan let out a soft snort, his body moving like lightning as he assaulted the Jiang family head once more. S U D A N NOVEL. C O M
But at that critical moment, a figure appeared, blocking the Jiang family head and meeting Lu Fan's punch head-on.
The exchange was even, and the man felt a surge of shock, never expecting Lu Fan's strength to be so formidable.
"Who are you?" Lu Fan frowned slightly. "When did the Jiang family acquire such a powerful expert?"
"I am Beidou, a member of the Dragon Group!" Beidou stated directly. "I presume you are Lord Lu!"
"A member of the Dragon Group?" Lu Fan's heart skipped a beat. No wonder he could match him. Those who entered the Dragon Group were no ordinary individuals.
"Thank you for the rescue!" the Jiang family head said with gratitude. "My Jiang family is a lineage of martial artists. In the future, we will contribute to the Dragon Nation's strength. We cannot afford to face any mishaps!"
"There is no need for further words, Patriarch Jiang!"
Beidou waved a hand, then turned to Lu Fan. "Lord Lu, why must you press this matter? It is merely a minor dispute. Let us put an end to it here!"
"This is a conflict between myself and the Jiang family. What does it have to do with the Dragon Group?" Lu Fan's tone was displeased. "Are you implying the Dragon Group wishes to interfere in martial affairs?"
"The war in the Outer Domain is pressing, and in the future, we will require many martial arts experts!" Beidou said seriously. "As a member of the Dragon Group, it is my duty to safeguard peace in the central region!"
"If he reveals the location of the Black Shadow organization's stronghold, I will not trouble the Jiang family further!" Lu Fan stated plainly. "But if he insists on withholding it, the Jiang family will be annihilated today!"
"This..." Beidou frowned slightly. "I fear this may not be appropriate!"
"It seems you wish to be my enemy?" Lu Fan's expression was icy. "Even if you are a member of the Dragon Group, I will show no mercy!"
"Lord Lu, why go to such extremes!" Beidou offered a wry smile. "I have no intention of becoming your enemy. However, if it is a spar you seek, Beidou is willing to oblige!"
Lu Fan was direct. He stomped his foot on the ground, and an invisible shockwave, like a fierce dragon, surged towards Beidou.
Simultaneously, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect and the Jiang family's experts were engaged in fierce combat.
Beidou, as a member of the Dragon Group, possessed strength at the level of a War Spirit. Yet, under Lu Fan's fierce assault, he was gradually showing signs of being overwhelmed.
The Jiang family head was inwardly astonished. He had already believed Lu Fan to be powerful, but to suppress a member of the Dragon Group was beyond his expectations.
After a few exchanges, Lu Fan blasted Beidou back with a palm strike, stating coldly, "If you interfere again, I will not hold back!"
Beidou's expression changed. After their brief confrontation, he realized he was still no match for Lu Fan. If this continued, the situation would only become more perilous.
With this thought, Beidou retrieved a signal flare and sent it soaring into the sky. This was a specialized signal flare of the Dragon Group, typically used only in moments of dire crisis.
"Lord Lu, it seems your expectations will be disappointed today!" The Jiang family head sneered. "Other members of the Dragon Group are arriving soon. You likely cannot touch my Jiang family!"
"You celebrate too soon!" Lu Fan chuckled coldly, turning his gaze towards Beidou. "I don't have time to play games with you!"
As his words fell, Lu Fan appeared beside Beidou in an instant. Beidou had intended to surprise Lu Fan, but Lu Fan's speed was astonishing. He quickly sealed Beidou's acupoints, rendering him immobile.
The Jiang family head's expression shifted, recognizing the gravity of the situation, and he stepped towards the exit of the Jiang family estate.
Judging by Lu Fan's momentum, he likely intended to kill him before the Dragon Group members arrived. If he remained within the Jiang family, his chances of survival were slim.
"Trying to leave? It's too late now!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and pursued the Jiang family head. With the situation firmly in his grasp, Lu Fan was unconcerned.
"You cannot kill me! My Jiang family is a venerable martial arts lineage. If you dare to harm me, the elders of the Jiang family will never let you off lightly!" the Jiang family head threatened.
"Even now, you still attempt to threaten me?" Lu Fan chuckled coldly. "Even if the King of Hell himself appeared, you would not escape your fate today!"
Outside the Central Prefecture Tower, the Jiang family head fled, knowing that in a place with many people, Lu Fan would be more hesitant.
After all, resorting to lethal force in front of civilians was something the Dragon Nation would never permit.
"Isn't that the Jiang family head?" exclaimed a man. "Why does it look like he's being pursued?"
Following his exclamation, many eyes turned, and the onlookers were filled with shock. The esteemed Jiang family head, a figure of the Martial Arts Heavenly Rankings, was being pursued for his life. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would scarcely believe it.
Momentarily, numerous martial arts experts began to follow and observe, their hearts alight with excitement. Pursuing a top-ten Heavenly Ranking existence was something they had never witnessed in years.
