"Nothing is impossible. Do you really think that reaching the second level of the Divine Attainment realm allows you to do whatever you please?"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If it weren't for your connection to Yuqing Mountain, I would have acted long ago. I wouldn't have waited until now."
"So you were faking it!"
With a sinister gaze, Zhang Feng looked at Lu Fan, exuding a killing intent. "So you deliberately waited for me to come!"
"You are correct!"
Lu Fan nodded. "Since you came to kill me, how could I let you go easily? Today will be your grave!"
"You want to kill me!"
Zhang Feng's eyes turned incredibly sharp, and he burst into laughter. "Do you know the punishment for killing a Yuqing Mountain disciple? How dare you!"
"So what?"
Lu Fan sneered. "You came to the handyman quarters to attack me, and then I killed you in self-defense. I doubt the gods of Yuqing Mountain will care too much. They might even take me into Yuqing Mountain on merit due to my exceptional talent, and you were just a stray dog!"
"You..."
Zhang Feng's face turned ugly. Lu Fan's words indeed reminded him, making his expression solemn.
This was no trifling matter. If it escalated, it could cause significant trouble.
"So, are you feeling the presence of death now?"
Lu Fan's lips curved upward, a hint of amusement in his tone. "If you kneel and beg for mercy now, I might spare your life. Otherwise, this place will be your burial ground today!"
Seeing this, everyone was stunned and lost in thought. Lu Fan's words were exceptionally arrogant.
"Why not let this matter rest?"
Zhao Xiaoyu stepped forward. "Why must it end in a life-or-death struggle?"
"Sister Xiaoyu, haven't you realized? He has no intention of letting me go!" Lu Fan retorted. "If I could defeat him today and only barely survived, how can I let him go so easily!"
"If you kill me, you might also perish!" Zhang Feng stated directly. "As long as you let me leave, I will never bother you again."
"You are not qualified to say such things now!" Lu Fan's eyes were icy. "You are already my defeated opponent. What right do you have to negotiate with me?"
Zhang Feng's face turned extremely grim. He never expected someone from the handyman quarters to be this powerful, catching him completely off guard. His intention in coming to the handyman quarters was to take Lu Fan's life, but everything that unfolded was too abrupt, leaving one in awe.
At the same time, everyone clearly felt that Lu Fan's aura had become extraordinary.
"Do you truly intend to kill me!" Zhang Feng's expression darkened, and he looked at Lu Fan again with coldness.
"You are correct. I do intend to kill you!" Lu Fan sneered. "After all, you made the first move. How can I let this go unchecked?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone trembled. They were taken aback by Lu Fan's resolute tone, and their hearts were stirred.
"Is Old Ten really going to kill Zhang Feng?" Fat Third Elder frowned. "If the gods of Yuqing Mountain find out about this, it could lead to great disaster. What will happen to Old Ten then?"
Liu Dabang frowned, unsure of what to do. The situation had reached a point where he, too, felt concerned.
As they spoke, Lu Fan had already made a decisive move, striking Zhang Feng into a mist of blood with a single palm. His expression remained indifferent, as if these actions were of no consequence to him.
Zhao Xiaoyu stood frozen, her face paling, utterly stunned. If Lu Fan had shown mercy, there might still have been a chance, but now, all hope was lost, and it would likely lead to endless trouble.
"This has gone too far, truly too far!" Liu Dabang's brow furrowed, his emotions a mix of feelings. He had thought Lu Fan was merely bluffing, but he hadn't expected him to be serious, which sent a tremor through his heart.
"It's alright. I'm responsible for what I've done. I will bear any consequences!" Lu Fan's expression was nonchalant. He didn't believe the gods of Yuqing Mountain would be unreasonable. Moreover, his action of killing Zhang Feng was justifiable, and under normal circumstances, Yuqing Mountain had no right to blame him.
At the same time, everyone's hearts were filled with mixed emotions, never expecting things to escalate to this point.
"Killing a Yuqing Mountain disciple is a grave offense!" Zhao Xiaoyu frowned. "You must come with me immediately to see the Divine Lord Rufeng. Perhaps he can find a way to save you. If other Divine Lords find out, your life might be in danger!"
"It's fine. Since I've caused this, I will bear it alone!" Lu Fan's expression was calm, his words devoid of any hesitation, as if all of this were ordinary in his eyes.
Zhao Xiaoyu said no more, grabbing Lu Fan and heading towards the Divine Lord Rufeng's palace, her expression grave. The situation had reached this point, and this was her only recourse, perhaps the only way to save Lu Fan's life.
Some time later, Zhao Xiaoyu arrived at the palace. Two disciples blocked her path. "The Divine Lord is meditating. Come back tomorrow if you have something to discuss!"
"There's no time! This matter is of utmost importance. I must see Divine Lord Rufeng today!" Zhao Xiaoyu pleaded.
The two disciples exchanged glances before going to inform him. Divine Lord Rufeng held Zhao Xiaoyu in high regard, so they dared not delay.
Not long after, an old man slowly emerged, exuding a powerful aura that made everyone present feel a surge of pressure and shock.
"It's so late, and you've come suddenly. Is there something important?" Divine Lord Rufeng asked.
"Divine Lord, he is from our handyman quarters and accidentally killed Senior Brother Zhang Feng. I implore you to bring justice for him!" Zhao Xiaoyu said earnestly, not daring to show any negligence.
Upon hearing this, Divine Lord Rufeng's brows furrowed. He then looked at Lu Fan. "If I recall correctly, Zhang Feng is a disciple of Yuqing Mountain and is at the second level of the Divine Attainment realm. How could this young man possess such capabilities!"
"My Lord, you may not know, but Senior Brother Zhang came to kill someone late at night and was subsequently killed!" Zhao Xiaoyu quickly explained. "It's likely that the Enforcement Divine Lord of Yuqing Mountain will come to our handyman quarters to demand him soon. By then..."
"To be able to kill a disciple of Yuqing Mountain is no simple feat!" Rufeng smiled and looked at Lu Fan. "You have truly surprised me!"
"Thank you for your praise, Divine Lord!" Lu Fan cupped his fists. "I was left with no choice. After all, someone intended to harm me, so I had to counter with all my might. That's why my actions were a bit too heavy."
"I think you didn't just act a bit heavily; you had murderous intent!" Divine Lord Rufeng stated directly, without any reservation.
