"You presumptuous brat, do you think your exceptional talent makes you invincible?"
Lu Tiannan's icy voice rang out, his powerful aura crushing down on Lu Fan. As a peak Saint realm expert, his strength was naturally extraordinary, and Lu Fan, at his current level, was no match for him.
In that instant, Lu Fan felt an immense pressure, so potent that it was difficult to endure.
"Is this the aura of a peak Saint?"
Lu Fan muttered, furrowing his brow. The sheer might of a peak Saint had exceeded his expectations. He had initially believed only Saint King level experts could pose a threat to him, but it seemed that was not the case.
"He's finally making his move!" Elder Hua frowned. "It's a shame, though. With such talent, this young man would undoubtedly achieve great things in time."
Seeing the unfolding scene, Fairy Baihua felt helpless. She longed to rescue Lu Fan, but the Xuan Guang Holy Land was an entity she could not contend with.
In that very moment, Lu Tiannan broke into Lu Fan's Saint Domain, emanating an overwhelming force. In the blink of an eye, Lu Fan was forced back over a dozen paces, his face turning ashen.
Simultaneously, the onlookers gasped in shock, astonished by Lu Tiannan's formidable power.
Lu Fan had stood his ground against the combined might of four elders, yet Lu Tiannan's single move had instantly put him at a disadvantage, clearly demonstrating the vast disparity in their strength.
"It seems I underestimated you!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Being a Grand Elder of a Holy Land indeed makes one vastly different."
"You not only underestimated me, but you also underestimated the entire Xuan Guang Holy Land!" Lu Tiannan said coldly. "The Holy Land is not to be trifled with or defied. Now that you have offended it, even the King of Heaven cannot save you!"
"A laughable statement. Do you truly believe you can kill me?"
Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze sharpening. It seemed that even with Lu Tiannan's personal intervention, he might not be able to suppress him.
"I've seen the arrogant, and I've seen the ignorant, but I don't know which category you fall into!"
Lu Tiannan chuckled coldly, a surge of fierce energy emanating from him, his expression utterly indifferent.
Following these words, Lu Fan burst into laughter. "My title is Heaven-Born Killer. The Saint realm assassins of the dynasty have never feared anything. If you truly possess the skill, then come at me. I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
"Ignorant fool!"
Lu Tiannan roared, stomping towards Lu Fan. Where he passed, a sharp wind followed.
Lu Fan did not dare to be careless. After evading, he fled towards the outskirts of Hua City. Since Lu Tiannan had made his move, he could not linger any longer, lest his life be in peril.
Within Hua City, not only Lu Tiannan but also other elders of the Holy Land were present. Lu Fan dared not take any risks. If anything were to happen, it would be beyond his control.
Seeing Lu Fan effortlessly break through the formation, Lu Tiannan's brow furrowed slightly, and he gave chase.
At the same time, the people of Hua City followed suit, their eyes filled with anticipation. They were eager to see if Lu Fan could escape the pursuit of the Holy Land.
Fairy Baihua, in particular, had already employed her divine abilities and was rushing in Lu Fan's direction. She did not wish for Lu Fan to meet with misfortune, but the current situation was extremely unfavorable for him.
"We shall pursue together and ensure this brat does not escape our grasp!" declared the four elders of the Xuan Guang Holy Land.
Lu Fan's youthful cultivation was already so profound that he had suppressed them. If he were allowed to grow further, it would be detrimental to the entire Xuan Guang Holy Land.
News of this incident spread like wildfire, causing a considerable stir in the Eastern Domain. The Xuan Guang Holy Land had deployed five elders to deal with Hao Tian of the Killer Dynasty.
More importantly, Hao Tian had managed to escape. This was tremendous news for the entire Eastern Domain. Never before had anyone been known to escape from the clutches of a Holy Land.
Many even speculated that perhaps the Xuan Guang Holy Land dared not offend the Killer Dynasty, and that was why they allowed Lu Fan to escape. Only this explanation seemed plausible.
Gui Ying and Mu Dan exerted their utmost speed, rushing towards Lion Peak. All they could do now was to inform Jian Bei of the matter as quickly as possible, thus saving Lu Fan's life.
After all, how could Lu Fan, alone, possibly resist so many powerful experts from the Xuan Guang Holy Land?
Meanwhile, the entire Eastern Domain was in turmoil, with many exclaiming in disbelief. No one had ever caused a Holy Land to act so directly, to be besieged by five elders, and to escape a formation. Such a feat left everyone utterly bewildered.
To intercept Lu Fan, the five elders split into five formations, attacking him from different directions.
Since they had decided to act against Lu Fan, they would show no mercy. Having reached this point, their sole objective was to eliminate him completely.
Lu Fan clearly sensed their intentions and revealed a cold smile. With five elders forming five formations to encircle him, wouldn't he be able to break through one easily, or even slay an elder?
With this thought, Lu Fan did not hesitate. His body shifted instantly, and he surged towards another direction. This direction radiated the weakest aura, and he might even be able to silently eliminate that elder, thereby freeing himself from the threat.
More importantly, Lu Fan knew very well that these people would not relent. If he wasn't decisive, how could he protect himself?
High in the sky, an elder with white hair moved at extreme speed, pursuing Lu Fan's location. However, in that instant, he felt an unparalleled killing intent, causing him to abruptly halt. Fear flashed in his eyes.
In that very moment, Lu Fan's palm erupted with spiritual energy, and the Gui Xi technique was unleashed to its fullest. Before the elder could react, Lu Fan forcibly struck him down.
Concurrently, Lu Fan moved towards other directions, his killing intent radiating intensely. These individuals harbored no intentions of showing him mercy, and Lu Fan, in turn, would not be lenient.
In that instant, Lu Fan arrived before another elder. That elder's face contorted in shock, naturally not expecting Lu Fan to be so audacious as to confront him directly.
"You have quite a bit of courage, boy. We are pursuing you, and you're walking right into our trap!" the elder said coldly.
