"So this is the Cang Qiong Kingdom, and this is why they attacked the Long Kingdom!" the Fourth Elder said coldly. "You believe the deaths of the first three elders were foul play, and that gives you the right to attack the Long Kingdom?"
"All the experts of the Long Kingdom have perished, and the ones in charge are incompetent. A nation like this, even if the Cang Qiong Kingdom didn't act, other nations wouldn't stand idly by!"
Yan Cangtian sneered, "Therefore, those who understand the times are the wise ones. Fourth Elder, you should consider carefully. Fighting against our nations will inevitably lead to the destruction of the Long Kingdom, and you will cease to exist. If you can surrender to the Cang Qiong Kingdom, perhaps you can still save your lives."
"This is utter nonsense!" the Fourth Elder said coldly. "The three elders of my Long Kingdom are alive and well, merely in secluded cultivation. How dare you slander them!"
"Indeed, the three elders have been in seclusion for many years. When they emerge, they will surely avenge today's humiliation!"
The Seventh Elder said coldly, "You won't be able to be arrogant for much longer!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the three elders of the Long Kingdom have been in seclusion for over ten years!" Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes. "Ten years of seclusion without any appearance is a massive lie, and the originator of this lie is your Fourth Elder!"
"Utterly preposterous!"
The Ninth Elder's face turned ashen. In truth, as Yan Cangtian had said, they hadn't seen the First, Second, or Third Elders in over a decade. The Fourth Elder had always claimed they were in seclusion, but they harbored suspicions.
However, they dared not speculate rashly. Perhaps it was most beneficial for the Long Kingdom if the elders were in seclusion.
"I will reiterate, the three elders are alive and well!"
His gaze turned sharp, and the Fourth Elder looked at Yan Cangtian, "One day, my Long Kingdom will flatten the Cang Qiong Kingdom!"
"Since you insist on lying, then so be it!"
Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes, "In any case, with today's battle, the Long Kingdom will fall. Your lie is of no use!"
The Fourth Elder said no more and directly attacked Elder Wuji with a fierce aura. He had clashed with Elder Wuji many times before, and today, he was determined to settle the score.
At this very moment, Lu Fan also looked at Yan Cangtian, "They fight their battles, and we'll fight ours! If we don't settle this today, I will never give up!"
"Do you think this old man is afraid of you?"
Yan Cangtian's aura was imposing, and he instantly charged at Lu Fan. His long saber transformed into a sharp sword, exuding a piercing sword energy.
Meanwhile, the numerous martial powerhouses of the Long Kingdom in the Valley of Death were filled with fervor. Not only was Lu Fan present, but the elders of the Long Kingdom had also arrived to support them. Such a powerful lineup gave them hope.
Elder Wuji and the Fourth Elder engaged in a fierce battle, shaking the heavens and earth as they fought from the north to the south of the Valley of Death. Lu Fan and Yan Cangtian were engaged in a similar struggle.
The other elders of the Long Kingdom were occupied with the Grand Elder of the Black Bear Kingdom, maintaining a stalemate.
"Will he be in danger?"
On a nearby mountain peak, Bai Huaxue frowned, looking towards Lu Fan's position with deep concern. She knew very well how powerful Lu Fan's opponent was.
"He won't be. He is the guardian god of the Long Kingdom, how could anything happen to him!"
The many women beside her spoke. Some sat on butterflies, while others rode on giant birds. Each of them was agile and spirited. As prodigies of the Ju Ling Kingdom, their talents were extraordinary.
They had secretly run away to the outer realm battlefield this time. They had never witnessed such a grand and ancient scene before and were naturally quite curious.
"I hate invaders the most!" one of the women said. "Why don't we go down and help them?"
Seeing the martial experts of the Long Kingdom, full of righteous anger, falling one after another at the hands of the three major alliances, the women felt a surge of sympathy.
"Absolutely not!" Bai Huaxue warned. "If the Ju Ling Kingdom offends the Cang Qiong Kingdom, it will not be good. Moreover, this is their battlefield, and we must not get involved!"
"The Ju Ling Kingdom and the Long Kingdom have always been on good terms. Why wouldn't the Ju Ling Kingdom help when the Long Kingdom is in trouble?" one woman asked in surprise. "Besides, the Cang Qiong Kingdom and the Ju Ling Kingdom are not on good terms!"
"These matters are not for us to decide!"
Bai Huaxue shook her head. "And certainly not for us to influence. If we rashly join the battle, it will cause endless trouble. At that time, upon returning to our kingdom, we will undoubtedly be punished!"
Hearing Bai Huaxue's words, they suppressed the anger in their hearts. Filled with dissatisfaction, they dared not say more and could only watch silently.
The gazes of the many young women remained fixed on Lu Fan's figure. Lu Fan, despite his young age, had become the guardian god of the Long Kingdom, making him the idol admired by countless young girls.
Meanwhile, within the Valley of Death, Lu Fan continuously dodged sword energy while absorbing inner force. He had only one chance to unleash the Great Desolation Annihilation Heaven Palm and kill Yan Cangtian with a single blow.
Only by doing so could he salvage the situation, otherwise, the Long Kingdom was in peril.
In fact, even he doubted whether the first three elders of the Long Kingdom truly existed. If the Long Kingdom had no such elders, they were the last line of defense. Once this defense collapsed, the entire Long Kingdom would face invasion by foreign enemies.
"You boy, constantly dodging, are you perhaps afraid of something!"
Yan Cangtian said coldly, "If you are truly scared, then go cool off somewhere else!" Su Dan Novel Network
"I've let you off so many times, yet you haven't hit me once!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "It's truly disappointing!"
"What a big mouth!"
Yan Cangtian's expression instantly turned cold, filled with displeasure. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so ignorant of his own limitations, still speaking so boastfully when clearly at a disadvantage.
"Since you are determined to seek death, I shall send you on your way!" Yan Cangtian swung his battle saber again, showing no mercy.
After exhausting his opponent, Lu Fan's figure suddenly soared into the sky. A powerful surge of inner force was absorbed around him, and a colossal phantom appeared behind him, seemingly darkening the sky and plunging the Valley of Death into darkness.
Numerous martial powerhouses watched, their expressions filled with awe. This was because above them, behind Lu Fan, a massive five-fingered palm hovered, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura.
"Martial Skill!"
Yan Cangtian's face changed, and he desperately tried to flee. He had already exerted a lot of energy to deal with Lu Fan, and now he was at his limit. Lu Fan had been holding back his ultimate move, likely for this very moment.
"Is this a martial skill!"
Many martial powerhouses watched. They had heard of martial skills before, and seeing such a majestic aura, their hearts were greatly shaken.
On the nearby mountain peak, Bai Huaxue's body trembled, her heart filled with excitement. She had never witnessed the techniques Lu Fan was employing, but with such immense power, Lu Fan was certain to slay Yan Cangtian today. With this, Lu Fan would be out of danger, a fact she clearly understood.
