"None of you will escape today!"
With cold light in his eyes, the old man in black exuded an imposing aura, carrying a murderous intent. Lu Fan and the others were already trapped like fish in a barrel. Moreover, since Lu Fan had disrupted his plan, how could he possibly let Lu Fan leave easily?
"That depends on whether you have the ability!" Lu Fan shrugged and said, "If I can break your killing formation, I can just as easily play you in the palm of my hand!"
Chu Qingqing and Hu Xian'er and the others were stunned, their expressions changing instantly. They clearly hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so arrogant, showing no fear even when facing a Saint King.
"I've seen the arrogant, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you!"
The old man in black laughed heartily, "If I cannot suppress you today, how can I wield dominion over the heavens and earth!"
"Too much nonsense, bring it on if you dare!" Lu Fan smiled faintly.
Without further words, the old man in black transformed into a gust of wind and strode directly towards Lu Fan, carrying a powerful force.
"Be careful!"
Hu Xian'er shouted, her heart filled with alarm. This was a Saint King expert, and being struck by one could be life-threatening, even leading to endless trouble.
Lu Fan, however, was unfazed. He directly unleashed his fist wind towards the old man in black, carrying a sharp and piercing energy as he advanced, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
Boom...
A loud collision sound echoed. The old man in black was sent flying violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lu Fan with dread, having never imagined that Lu Fan, who appeared so ordinary, possessed such a formidable physique.
"How is this possible? How can your physique be so strong!"
His heart filled with shock, the old man in black stared directly at Lu Fan. After all, the methods Lu Fan had just displayed were completely beyond his imagination, leaving him deeply shaken.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "You have already lost, and lost completely. If you still wish to fight me, you will likely have to pay with your life!"
Hu Xian'er and Chu Qingqing stood aside, their hearts also filled with shock. While they knew Lu Fan's strength was extraordinary, they had never expected him to achieve such a feat, leaving them awestruck.
"He can actually match a Saint King? Could he truly defeat a Saint King!"
Hu Yu exclaimed, his heart filled with shock. If this were true, it was truly bewildering.
Lu Fan was merely a Saint. If he could truly contend with a Saint King, wouldn't that be too terrifying?
"Haotian, the Killer Dynasty, truly lives up to being an Ancient Divine Physique!"
Hu Xian'er commented, "Such a terrifying aura is indeed formidable. A person this powerful, if they grow up, will surely be a great disaster for the Ancient Families!"
Hu Yu nodded solemnly beside her. Such a monstrous talent, once grown, would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the Ancient Families.
More importantly, the Killer Dynasty and the Ancient Families were already irreconcilably opposed. If the two sides were to engage in conflict, it would lead to endless disaster.
"Fortunately, the Hu family has not offended him!" Hu Xian'er chuckled, "When I return to the family, I must inform everyone not to make an enemy of the Ancient Divine Physique, lest their lives be in peril!"
Hu Yu nodded seriously, strongly agreeing with Hu Xian'er's words. If it were before, he might not have taken Lu Fan seriously, even thinking him to be arrogant. But now, it seemed their perception was too superficial.
More importantly, Lu Fan possessed a peerless divine weapon. How could the old man in black before him be Lu Fan's opponent?
"Your strength is so great, you've truly made me underestimate you. It's a shame I haven't reached my peak, otherwise you wouldn't be my match!"
The old man in black spoke coldly, his figure turning into an afterimage, and he vanished from his spot, seemingly having used some secret technique.
Just as Lu Fan was about to give chase, he saw that the man in black had already disappeared. His expression changed instantly. After all, he had intended to capture the man in black and question him thoroughly, but now this had happened.
"He got away in the end!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Otherwise, I could have exposed him and found out who the mastermind behind this was!"
"It's good enough that you're alive. Aren't your demands a bit too much?" Chu Qingqing remarked, "However, your strength is indeed impressive. I thought you were only slightly stronger than me, but I didn't expect you to be able to fight a Saint King!"
"You're just a frog in a well; there's much you haven't seen!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Anyone who can enter the Central State Academy is a peerless prodigy. Without such strength, how could they earn the admiration of others!"
Hearing Lu Fan's words, Chu Qingqing's expression flickered, but she couldn't refute them. At this point, the situation had indeed exceeded her expectations.
Lu Fan said no more, turning to leave directly. He was still quite displeased that the old man in black had escaped.
Meanwhile, in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, Huo Dong's expression changed slightly as he saw everyone returning, clearly unsure of what had happened.
Lu Fan also entered the Drunken Immortal Pavilion at this moment, looking towards Huo Dong and saying, "I didn't see you in that killing formation earlier. Were you in league with that man in black?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's spirits were roused, and they looked towards Huo Dong. In truth, they harbored the same question. Huo Dong had led them there, and it was they who entered the killing formation in the end, while Huo Dong had disappeared.
However, this was the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and their strength was low, so they naturally dared not question Huo Dong directly. But with Lu Fan speaking, they were no longer afraid.
"What do you mean by that?"
Huo Dong narrowed his eyes. "I don't quite understand? Are you implying that I deliberately harmed you? Lured you in?"
"Wasn't it?" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "If not, then what was it?"
"What a huge joke! Why would I do such a thing?" Huo Dong said coldly. "I am the young master of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Why would I do this?"
"That's a question you'll have to answer!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "I'd also like to know why you did it!"
"Baseless accusations without evidence!"
Huo Dong said coldly, "I knew that place was fraught with danger, so I returned. Is there a problem with that!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, narrowing his eyes. He paid no heed to Huo Dong's words, as they carried a significant degree of suspicion.
"You clearly entered the killing formation, yet you suddenly disappeared. This proves you are an accomplice of that man in black!" Ghost Shadow said coldly.
