"Hahaha... Since you have such ability, why not strike directly!"
Jian Bei laughed heartily, his expression becoming even more indifferent, as if he hadn't taken the threat seriously at all in his eyes.
"Since you are so indifferent, then I shall kill a few for you to see!"
As Dao Xuan's words fell, an unparalleled divine might turned several assassins' holy swords into ashes. It appeared incredibly powerful, as if in their eyes, the people of the Assassin Dynasty were not even considered human, but rather like livestock to be slaughtered.
Lu Tian Nan, seeing the scene before him, was extremely anxious but also helpless. As the Grand Elder of the Xuanguang Holy Land, he naturally had to consider matters carefully. Unfortunately, before the Supreme Elder, he had no right to speak.
"What you have done today, the Assassin Dynasty will repay tenfold!" Jian Bei sneered, "Just you wait! You will surely pay dearly then!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Dao Xuan shook his head, "Things have already come to this, and you are still threatening me? I think you should worry about yourself!"
Jian Bei's face was ashen, but he didn't say much more. Now that he was defeated, he could only resign himself to fate; this was not something he could resolve.
However, according to the rules of the Assassin Dynasty, they would never let this matter rest, and the Xuanguang Holy Land would inevitably face endless conflict because of it in the future.
"Since you all wish to die, I shall grant your wish!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Dao Xuan circulated the Xuanguang Sword. It appeared to shroud the sky and block out the sun, and a divine might instantly radiated outwards, heading to intercept and kill Jian Bei and the others. At this point, he would not show any mercy.
As for the retaliation from the Assassin Dynasty, Dao Xuan did not give it much thought. The Xuanguang Holy Land was protected by a peerless divine weapon, so even the Assassin Dynasty would not dare to act rashly.
"I am the one you want to kill, why trouble them!"
Just then, a voice came through. Lu Fan stepped forward, appearing completely unconcerned.
"Haotian! This person is Haotian of the Assassin Dynasty!"
Many people spoke, their eyes showing surprise. They naturally did not expect Lu Fan to walk into a trap. If he came, leaving would not be so easy.
"Why did you come back? Didn't I tell you to leave!" Jian Bei exclaimed, filled with blame and anger. He had tried his best to protect Lu Fan, but he never expected Lu Fan to come.
"The Branch Master has shown me great kindness, how can I leave so easily,"
Lu Fan shook his head. "Let me resolve today's matter. This is my own affair!"
Faced with these words, Jian Bei shook his head, not wanting Lu Fan to risk himself so easily. However, with matters having reached this point, Lu Fan probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"You search far and wide, and when you least expect it, it appears. I thought you'd already fled, but you're so conscientious that you stayed!" Dao Xuan praised, "Truly impressive."
"Why say more? The four elders of the Xuanguang Holy Land were killed by me. If you want to deal with me, then try it!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, and his gaze fell upon Dao Xuan, his eyes showing a hint of emotion.
"You have quite the tongue, boy! Do you know what a grave crime it is to kill a Saint of the Holy Land?"
With coldness in his eyes, Dao Xuan spoke without politeness, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. Lu Fan's words just now were full of arrogance, completely disregarding the Holy Land.
"So what if I killed the elders of the Holy Land?"
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. "If they hadn't attacked me first, why would I have attacked them!"
Following Lu Fan's words, Dao Xuan did not get angry but instead laughed, "You killed them, yet you speak as if you are the victim. Do you really think our Holy Land is so easily bullied?"
After speaking, Dao Xuan unleashed an unparalleled aura, and even the Xuanguang Sword was fully awakened, as if intending to flatten the entire Lion Peak.
"The one who killed the elders of the Holy Land is me, and they have nothing to do with it!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Why trouble these innocent people."
"You also represent the Assassin Dynasty. Since I have taken action today, I will not leave any future trouble!" Dao Xuan's expression was cold. He was not only here for Lu Fan today but also for Jian Bei.
"It seems I was thinking too much. You never intended to let me go, nor the Branch Master!" Lu Fan smiled. "The Xuanguang Holy Land coming here today must have been well-prepared!"
"You speak very well!"
Dao Xuan nodded slightly, "Everything is as you say! Since I have chosen to act, I will never turn back!"
"Then have you considered the Assassin Dynasty's revenge?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"As long as you are completely crippled, the Assassin Dynasty will be nothing to fear."
Dao Xuan smiled faintly, further controlling the Xuanguang Sword to its utmost.
Jian Bei was full of helplessness. He was already severely wounded, and before the peerless divine weapon, he could not do anything.
"We shall share the destiny of the Dynasty!"
Ghost Shadow and Peony also arrived before Lu Fan, ready to resist Dao Xuan together. Although they knew they could do nothing against the peerless divine weapon, they would never seek to survive ignominiously.
"Since you have such loyalty, how can I not fulfill your wish!"
Dao Xuan laughed instantly, the power of the Xuanguang Sword growing stronger. With just a wave, not only people, but the entire Lion Peak would likely be destroyed.
"You're forcing my hand. Since you want to go down in flames, then I won't be polite!"
Lu Fan sneered coldly, and his body soared into the sky. It's not as if he didn't have a peerless divine weapon.
Following Lu Fan's words, Dao Xuan dismissed them with disdain. Looking at Lu Fan's demeanor, it seemed he intended to forcibly confront a peerless divine weapon. If that were the case, it would be like a moth flying into a flame.
"Haotian, Haotian!"
Jian Bei repeatedly shouted, his heart filled with despair. This was the most talented killer in their branch. Once he grew up, he would surely lead the Assassin Dynasty to its peak, but he never expected things to come to this.
Ghost Shadow and Peony also showed helplessness. This was their last stubbornness; even if they fought to the death, they would never allow themselves to be insulted.
"I think he's crazy! Trying to face the might of the Xuanguang Sword with his own strength!"
"Who says not! This Xuanguang Sword is a peerless divine weapon. Even without the Xuanguang Sword, Elder Dao Xuan could kill him with a single palm, he's simply overestimating himself."
A string of conversations arose, and the words were earnest. However, there was some admiration for Lu Fan. Facing a peerless divine weapon, he remained so composed, even as if he hadn't taken it seriously at all.
And at this moment, Lu Fan was full of confidence.
