Lu Fan finished speaking and prepared to head to the next stronghold. The thirty-six strongholds of the Dragon Country had all been attacked, and he dared not delay.
"Wait!"
Just then, a voice rang out. Bai Huaxue descended from a giant butterfly. "I admire you! Among the younger generation, you are the most spirited person I have ever met!"
Lu Fan glanced at her but paid no mind, turning to leave. For a powerhouse like him, being liked by a young girl seemed like a perfectly normal occurrence.
Seeing Lu Fan leave, Bai Huaxue was not disheartened but instead felt a strong sense of interest.
In the Juling Country, he was a proud son of heaven, admired by countless people, and had never been looked down upon.
The feeling he experienced just now stirred something within Bai Huaxue, as if a proud son of heaven had been scorned.
However, he found himself somewhat anticipating this feeling.
"How rude!"
The young man from Qihu frowned. "Even Bai Huaxue was ignored! She is the dream goddess of everyone in the Juling Country!"
The other youths nodded slightly. Bai Huaxue had many suitors in the Juling Country, yet she had never been ignored like this before.
However, based on Lu Fan's methods earlier, it was understandable that he wouldn't pay too much attention to Bai Huaxue.
A prodigy like Lu Fan would undoubtedly have countless admirers in the future as well.
After Lu Fan left, the elders present finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Fan had carried an aura of killing intent just now, and if he had acted, they would not have been confident of returning to the Juling Country alive.
In a certain stronghold, Han Yunhai was fighting alongside a group of experts, his body stained red, but this was the blood of their enemies.
After training in the Outer Domain battlefield these days, he had already become a Battle Spirit expert. To injure him, at least a Battle King expert would need to appear.
However, he was under immense pressure. The enemy country had many experts, and even as a Battle Spirit expert, he could not make any significant difference because the enemy country had more Battle Spirit experts.
As the battle intensified, the stronghold was being gradually swallowed. If they did not receive reinforcements from the Dragon Country experts soon, the stronghold would inevitably be encroached upon by the enemy country.
They understood very well what the strongholds represented, which was why the martial arts experts of the Dragon Country were rushing forward, protecting the territory of the strongholds with their blood.
"If this continues, we will all be annihilated!"
"Even if we are annihilated, we will never let them set foot on Dragon Country territory!"
Many martial arts experts shouted, with a resolve to die.
Watching the increasing number of martial arts experts from the enemy country, Han Yunhai also felt deep despair. Even with the many experts from the Qingyun Sect, they could not prevent this misfortune, as the enemy country simply had too many experts.
Just as they were sinking into despair, a group of people suddenly rushed towards them. Their momentum was magnificent, kicking up dust everywhere.
"This is..."
Han Yunhai looked at the many reinforcement experts in front of him, but was instantly puzzled. These people did not seem to be from the Dragon Country.
"The Xuanwu Country, with a hundred Grandmasters, has come to aid the Dragon Country!"
A booming shout echoed, and many figures joined the battlefield, bringing with them boundless momentum and endless sounds of killing wherever they went.
"Xuanwu Country!"
The martial arts experts of the Dragon Country were slightly startled, and then a surge of joy followed.
The Xuanwu Country was a close neighbor of the Dragon Country, and the relationship between the two nations had always been good. However, it was unexpected that the Xuanwu Country would provide aid to the Dragon Country under such circumstances.
After all, this was a war between nations, and regardless of victory or defeat, the losses would be immense. The camaraderie shown by the Xuanwu Country would surely be remembered by the Dragon Country for life.
For many years, the Xuanwu Country and the Dragon Country had called each other brothers, sharing much affection, as if there were some unseen connection.
As the many experts from the Xuanwu Country joined the battle, the morale of the Dragon Country's martial arts experts instantly soared.
They would surely remember the favor of the Xuanwu Country in their hearts.
After repeated efforts, Lu Fan helped more than ten strongholds repel the powerful enemies, and the situation in the Dragon Country instantly turned around.
At the Dragon Country headquarters, the Fourth Elder and others were overjoyed upon receiving the news.
The Dragon Country had averted crisis, and Lu Fan's contribution was undeniable. After this battle ended, the Dragon Country would undoubtedly hold a grand celebration banquet.
"Lu小子 truly did not disappoint us!" the Fifth Elder remarked. "If he hadn't turned the tide, the Dragon Country would probably be in grave danger!"
"Although the strongholds are gradually being secured, the crisis may not be over!" the Fourth Elder stated. "Since the Cangqiong Country has decided to act, it won't be so simple!"
"Are you implying that the Cangqiong Country will send more experts?" the Fifth Elder frowned.
"I am not entirely sure, but one thing is certain: the Cangqiong Country will not give up easily!" The Fourth Elder produced a document. "This is what I had people investigate. The leader of the Cangqiong Country this time is Yan Cangtian!"
"Yan Cangtian?" the Fifth Elder was startled. "Rumor has it that he holds a high position in the Cangqiong Country and is a powerful expert about to step into the Battle Emperor realm. If Lu小子 encounters him, his life will be in danger!"
"This is also my concern!" the Fourth Elder stated. "Lu小子 has repelled enemy experts, but if he encounters Yan Cangtian, he will be in great peril!"
"At such a critical juncture, why don't we awaken the three elders!" the Fifth Elder said solemnly. "Perhaps only they can withstand Yan Cangtian!"
"That is precisely my intention!" the Fourth Elder nodded. "Unfortunately, I have already been there, but I was blocked by formations. The three elders must be in a critical period and cannot be easily disturbed!"
"If that's the case, what should we do!" the Sixth Elder frowned.
"I will personally go to the Outer Domain battlefield!" the Fourth Elder declared. "You two guard the Dragon Country headquarters!"
"This!"
The Fifth Elder's expression changed. "With the three elders in seclusion, and you, Fourth Elder, needing to manage affairs, shouldn't I go?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Your strength is too weak. In front of Yan Cangtian, you will likely be unable to resist!" the Fourth Elder shook his head.
"But even if you, Fourth Elder, go personally, you might not be able to defeat Yan Cangtian!" the Fifth Elder frowned.
Although the Fourth Elder was not weak, there was still a gap between him and Yan Cangtian in terms of matching strength.
"It's fine, isn't Lu小子 still there!" the Fourth Elder smiled. "He was able to kill more than ten Battle King experts alone, he will surely help!"
The two elders exchanged glances. Although they were reluctant, they had no other choice but to let the Fourth Elder go to the outer domain.
Meanwhile, in the Outer Domain battlefield, the enemy experts had all retreated and were gathering towards the Death Valley in the Outer Domain battlefield.
The experts from the various strongholds of the Dragon Country, led by Lu Fan, had also set up camp not far from Death Valley.
This competition between nations would certainly not end quickly. If the martial arts experts were scattered, it would be a great military taboo.
This was why Lu Fan was able to turn the tide of the battle single-handedly.
On Bailipo, many experts from the Dragon Country were gathered, along with numerous tents. Lu Fan stood on the mountain peak, gazing towards Death Valley.
Since the three great nations had made their move, they would not retreat easily. Their arrival here must have been well-prepared.
"Lord Lu, the martial experts from the thirty-six strongholds are gradually converging, and we will all obey your orders!" a general stated.
