"This Bewitching Formation is not very formidable. The person who cast it upon you was likely one of those few individuals from just now!" Hongmeng old man stated directly, "As long as the Bewitching Formation is broken, you will be able to see their true faces."
Lu Fan nodded slightly and then asked, "How can the Bewitching Formation be broken?"
"To break the Bewitching Formation, strong spiritual energy is required first," Hongmeng old man said seriously. "Follow my prescribed steps and walk at the same time. It shouldn't take long for you to break this Bewitching Formation."
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not daring to delay in the slightest. He was being framed within the formation, and any carelessness might cost him his life.
Following Hongmeng old man's guidance, Lu Fan's spiritual energy surged, and he finally broke free from the Bewitching Formation.
Outside the Bewitching Formation, Xia Donghai stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lu Fan with surprise. "I truly didn't expect you to be so formidable, not only skilled in alchemy but also capable of breaking my Bewitching Formation!"
"I have no enmity with you; why are you doing this to me?" Lu Fan said coldly. "Just now, at the Alchemist Guild, you were all smiles. Truly, you have wolfish ambitions. Did President Lei instruct you to do this?"
"How could President Lei possibly do such a thing!" Xia Donghai said coldly. "I am waiting here. You have no other intentions. If you cannot break my Bewitching Formation, it will be your death. If you can break it, I will spare your life, provided you hand over your Alchemist Tower emblem!"
"So you're after the emblem?"
Lu Fan sneered instantly. "If you have the ability, you can take the medal yourself. If your alchemy skills are insufficient, you resort to forceful snatching. Isn't this kind of behavior laughable?"
"You talk too much. If you leave the emblem, I naturally won't trouble you. Otherwise, your life will be in peril!"
With indifference in his expression, Xia Donghai said coldly.
"What a joke, with just you?" Lu Fan sneered coldly. "You probably don't know yet, but I am not only an alchemist but also a spiritual cultivator. My strength is not weaker than yours."
Facing these words, Xia Donghai immediately sneered, "You will have to take responsibility for what you said!"
As soon as the words fell, three elders appeared beside Xia Donghai. These three elders had extremely strong auras, unlike ordinary individuals.
Seeing these three elders, Lu Fan frowned slightly. "This is a bit unsportsmanlike. To deal with just me, you've called for so many experts!"
"It was a necessary measure!"
Xia Donghai shook his head. "After all, I must have that emblem, and you are uncooperative. I have no choice but to act this way!"
"Even so, you won't get the emblem!" Lu Fan shrugged, revealing a faint glint of coldness.
"You may not realize it, but these three are all peak Great Spirit Masters. With just you, you probably won't be able to escape even with wings!" Xia Donghai said without hesitation, a faint smile on his face. Su Dan Novel Network
Since he had decided to act, he would not shy away or show mercy.
"Peak Great Spirit Master?"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed. If it were just one, he might be able to fight, but three peak Great Spirit Masters were quite troublesome.
"Young man, do not be too arrogant. If the three of us attack, you will likely only meet death!" The white-haired elder said with a smile. "Why not hand over your belongings and preserve your life?"
"If that were the case, wouldn't that be laughable?" Lu Fan said coldly. "This emblem was obtained through my own strength. What right do you have to take it away?"
"Stop talking nonsense with him. Attack directly!"
With indifference in his eyes, Xia Donghai said coldly, "What I want, I will get."
At that very moment, the three elders stepped into the air, like arrows released from a bow. They were already peak Great Spirit Masters, even on the verge of stepping into the Spirit King realm. Such powerful beings were not something ordinary people could contend with.
Lu Fan dodged and weaved. After dozens of rounds, even his chest bore a wound. With his current strength, dealing with three powerful individuals was quite difficult.
"Senior Hongmeng, please think of a way! What should we do now!" Lin Ke asked anxiously.
"It's alright. This brat's potential still needs to be tapped. Let him hold on for a bit longer," Hongmeng old man said with a smile. "As long as his life is not in danger, it doesn't matter."
Lu Fan stood there stunned, his face instantly filled with embarrassment. He never imagined that Hongmeng old man would say such a heartless thing. This was clearly preparing to push him into a fiery pit.
After several rounds of fighting, Xia Donghai sneered, "I think you should stop struggling. Why not surrender obediently? Perhaps your life can still be spared then."
"I will not yield easily!" Lu Fan sneered. "Moreover, relying on family power, what kind of ability is that!"
Xia Donghai's expression was indignant and displeased, harboring a killing intent towards Lu Fan.
Lu Fan retreated continuously, his eyes showing a hint of panic. Facing the attacks of the three experts, he seemed rather helpless.
At that very moment, Lu Fan stepped forward again but was sent flying by a palm strike from an elder. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned even paler.
If it were only one peak Great Spirit Master, he wouldn't be so battered. Facing three experts, he was somewhat hesitant to act.
"Senior Hongmeng!"
Lin Ke looked at Hongmeng old man pitifully, not wanting to see Lu Fan die.
However, just then, a sword shadow appeared before Lu Fan, simultaneously blocking the attacks of the three.
"Junior Disciple Lu, are you alright?"
Bi Yao spoke, "I was worried something might happen to you, so I came specifically. I didn't expect my guess to be correct."
"Senior Disciple Bi Yao, their strength is not weak!" Lu Fan said. "You must be careful when you act, don't fall for their tricks!"
"Don't worry, with just a few of them, they are no match for me!" Bi Yao rubbed her hands, her eyes sharpening.
At that very moment, she lunged towards the three elders, carrying a terrifying aura.
Sensing such a terrifying aura, the three elders were startled and quickly retreated. However, before they could react, they were repelled by a powerful surge of spiritual energy.
*Puff...*
The three elders coughed up blood, looking at Bi Yao with disbelief. "Spirit King? You are in the Spirit King realm?"
"You have some discerning eyes!" Bi Yao nodded slightly. "I am indeed a cultivator in the Spirit King realm. Offending me has no good outcome. Now, none of you will be able to leave."
The expressions of the three elders changed, and they looked utterly helpless. They knew very well that if a Spirit King realm cultivator wanted to take their lives, they had no chance of survival.
In the blink of an eye, the three elders met their demise, without any warning, not even a scream could be uttered. It looked quite terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.
