The other elders' faces turned ashen, the strength Lu Fan had just displayed was enough to shock them. If Lu Fan were to make a forceful move, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to stop him.
"Why does the Dragon Country have such a powerful expert!" an elder grumbled, his face pale. "How can we possibly contend against him!"
The other elders' expressions also shifted. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so powerful, so much so that they themselves felt fear.
"The Sky Country has always bullied the weak. Today, I'd like to see how you exert your strength!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
These dozen or so Battle King experts, though not weak, were nothing in his eyes. As long as Lu Fan willed it, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Meanwhile, in Death Valley, Yan Cangtian was enjoying his wine when a man approached him. "Elder Yan, the helicopters carrying the elders who came for reinforcements were destroyed. It seems something major has happened, and we've lost contact!"
"How could this be?"
Yan Cangtian's face turned grim, and he stood up abruptly. "Who dared to do this! Who has such audacity!"
"Elder Yan, could it be someone from the Dragon Country!" Elder Wuji interjected. "The Dragon Country produced a Guardian God. I've crossed swords with him before, and he was no match for me, nor could he have possessed such power. However, judging by the current situation, his strength must have greatly increased!"
"Hmph! The Dragon Country's Guardian God!" Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes. "I'll see what this brat is capable of!"
"I share the same sentiment!" Elder Wuji spoke up. "Striking now is the best opportunity. We can eliminate all the personnel at the Dragon Country's overseas stronghold. This way, we can also enter the Dragon Country's homeland as soon as possible!"
Yan Cangtian wasted no time. He immediately summoned many experts. In an instant, martial arts powerhouses poured out of Death Valley, carrying a sky-shattering aura.
The Dragon Country's many martial arts masters had long been ambushed in the vicinity, waiting for an opportune moment. They knew very well that there was no retreat; today, they could only fight to the death.
If the Three Great Alliances did not retreat, the Dragon Country would surely perish. When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact.
A hundred miles outside Death Valley, Lu Fan had forcefully killed seven or eight Battle King experts. The remaining three or four Battle King experts' faces changed, and they kept retreating. An expert like Lu Fan was enough to strike fear into them.
"Let's go, we need to leave quickly!" an elder exclaimed in terror, fleeing for his life. He knew very well that if they didn't leave now, endless disaster would befall them.
"Do you think you can escape?" Lu Fan's expression was cold. "I never intended to let you leave!"
This single sentence sent shivers down their spines, and their expressions changed. They knew exactly what it meant.
"We'll fight him to the death, even if it means mutual destruction!" One of the elders, with a fiery temperament, swung his great saber and charged directly at Lu Fan.
Lu Fan smirked. With a single palm strike, he killed the elder. Lu Fan's actual combat power was likely something that ordinary Battle Kings could not resist.
The remaining two Battle Kings looked on in panic and astonishment. They could never have imagined that Lu Fan would be so powerful. Even if the ten of them had attacked together, they would still have died at Lu Fan's hands.
After completely dealing with them, Lu Fan looked towards Death Valley and let out a cold laugh. "Since you want to play, I'll play with you to the end!"
Lu Fan's voice was chilling, carrying wisps of cold light. The Sky Country wanted to destroy the Dragon Country, and Lu Fan would never agree. Now that it had come to this, there was only a fight.
Inside Death Valley, as Yan Cangtian was about to leave, shouts of battle suddenly erupted from all directions, deafening to the ears. The men, undeterred, charged forward, leading the way towards the Three Great Alliances.
The experts of the Three Great Nations were startled. They had always been the invaders of the Dragon Country, but they never expected the Dragon Country to counter-attack this time, and with such imposing momentum, as if it were a fight to the death.
For a time, many experts of the Three Great Nations were greatly frightened, and some even harbored thoughts of retreat. They were invaders, after all, and their resolve was not firm. Compared to the people of the Dragon Country, they were far inferior.
"Everyone, hold your ground!"
Elder Wuji stepped into the air, instantly unleashing his internal energy and forcefully killing several fleeing Grandmasters. Only then did the others regain their senses and engage in battle with the Dragon Country's forces.
Yan Cangtian's expression turned cold. "It seems this was all calculated by them!"
"Even without the reinforcements from Elder Cangqiong, we would still be able to annihilate them!" Elder Wuji said coldly. "Elder Yan, you surely won't doubt my words!"
"What you just said is exactly what I was thinking!" Yan Cangtian smiled. "They've walked right into our trap, saving us quite a bit of trouble!"
"Yan Cangtian, Elder Wuji, I hope you are both well!"
The Seventh Elder cupped his fists and said with a smile, his expression appearing even colder as he glanced at the other elders.
"The Dragon Country truly has no one, to send you as the leader to command on the extraterritorial battlefield!" Yan Cangtian glanced dismissively. "When I broke through to Battle King, I was merely a Grandmaster. What makes you think you have the right to argue with me here now!"
"Elder Yan has a good memory!" the Seventh Elder smiled. "It's been 30 years. Thirty years ago, the Dragon Country and the Sky Country were on friendly terms. When you came to my Dragon Country as an envoy, your attitude was not like this!"
"Thirty years ago is thirty years ago. The current Dragon Country is no match for us. Do you still want to act like the boss in front of the Sky Country?" Yan Cangtian sneered. "I advise you not to resist; perhaps you can still save your lives!" Sudán Novel Network
"We are all people of the Dragon Country. Our lives mean nothing to us!" Long Aotian said coldly. "Defending the capital is our dream!"
"With just you lot?"
Yan Cangtian sneered and soared into the sky. The people of the extraterritorial stronghold were all here, and he wouldn't hold back now.
Elder Wuji and the Great Elder Black Bear chuckled, then stood not far away, waiting for Yan Cangtian to make his move. With Yan Cangtian's strength, let alone a few Battle Kings present, even more would likely not be enough.
The Seventh Elder and the others wore solemn expressions, not daring to be careless. They knew very well how powerful Yan Cangtian was. If they were even slightly negligent, they would all be buried here. This was the might of a Battle King expert.
"We'll just tie him down; don't confront him head-on!" the Ninth Elder advised. He knew very well that Yan Cangtian's strength was too formidable. With their limited numbers, they might not be able to suppress Yan Cangtian.
The others nodded in agreement, as they also understood that dealing with Yan Cangtian was not that simple.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Cangtian charged towards the elders like a gust of wind. The Dragon Country had a total of five Battle Kings on their side.
With a single move, Long Aotian and Elder Yeshan were heavily injured, spitting blood and their faces turning instantly pale. They had only recently broken through to Battle King, and under Yan Cangtian's fierce offensive, they appeared too fragile.
Even the faces of the Dragon Country's three elders changed, and they were blown back.
