"Still didn't expect, this bracelet suits you quite well!"
Elder Madam Yang said with a smile, "Actually, Xiao Fan is a good person. If you two can live well, this old woman will be happy!"
"Grandma, don't worry, we will get better and better!"
Lin Ke nodded solemnly, but then frowned, looking around as if searching for something.
"What's wrong? Xiao Ke?"
Elder Madam Yang asked curiously, "Are you looking for something?"
"Grandma, if something happens later, you hide."
Lin Ke said, slowly taking out the Frost Sword. He could sense the Ghost Hall's aura getting closer and closer.
Seeing Lin Ke's expression, Elder Madam Yang also frowned. She knew that the world was not as peaceful as she imagined. Lin Ke's seriousness must mean a crisis was imminent.
At that very moment, a powerful aura surged forward, and the man in black, wielding a long sword, lunged directly at Lin Ke.
The entire riverside instantly erupted into chaos, with everyone scattering and dodging, unsure of what was happening.
The black-clothed attacker was frozen into an ice sculpture by Lin Ke, completely immobile and devoid of life.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present gasped in shock and hid, not daring to delay.
Meanwhile, Lin Ke's gaze swept around, extremely vigilant. That person was definitely a probe; there was a more powerful presence yet to act.
"With just you, it's unlikely you can protect this old woman!"
A loud laugh rang out, and Hei Yu transformed into a streak of light, lunging towards Lin Ke, bringing a powerful internal force with him.
"It's you!" Lin Ke frowned, shielding Elder Madam Yang behind him. He would not allow anyone to harm Elder Madam Yang, not for any other reason than that she was Lu Fan's grandmother and could not be harmed.
"What's happening on the shore?"
Yang Zixin spoke, holding his camera and aiming it towards the opposite bank. He noticed the crowd on the other side fleeing in all directions as if it were the end of the world.
"This is bad, it's people from the Ghost Hall. They're going after Lin Ke!" Long Yi exclaimed, his expression grave.
Lu Fan didn't hesitate, stepping out forcefully and heading towards the shore.
At this moment, Lin Ke's figure slowly ascended, and the Frost Sword was wielded to its utmost. He dared not be careless against Hei Yu.
"Now it's just you alone, and you still can't stop me!"
Hei Yu waved his hand and slammed it towards Lin Ke. As a ninth-level War Emperor, his words were not empty.
Lin Ke unleashed his full power but was still sent flying by the palm strike, with no ability to resist. In the face of a ninth-level War Emperor, he appeared so helpless.
"Pfft..."
Lin Ke spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale. Hei Yu's strength was ultimately beyond his ability to cope, otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
"Xiao Ke, are you alright!" Elder Madam Yang stepped forward, looking quite alarmed.
"I'm fine!" Lin Ke shook his head and struggled to get back up.
At this moment, Elder Madam Yang stood in front of Lin Ke, looking at Hei Yu. "I don't know who you are, but you cannot harm him. If you truly want my life, I can give it to you now!"
"Old woman, you're quite loyal!"
Hei Yu sneered, "I don't want your life, but the item in their hands. However, since you've delivered yourself, I can't miss this grand gift!"
After speaking, Hei Yu lunged towards Elder Madam Yang, his expression cold.
Sensing such an aura, Elder Madam Yang did not retreat an inch, continuing to stand by Lin Ke's side. Even if it meant being shattered into pieces, she would not yield.
Blocked by Elder Madam Yang, Lin Ke was deeply moved. He never expected an elder to possess such strength, all for the sake of protection.
Clang!
However, at that very moment, a powerful stream of light erupted. Before Hei Yu could get close, he was violently repelled, even sustaining a minor injury to his lip.
Lu Fan and Long Yi combined their swords, emitting an extremely formidable aura that was astonishing.
"You have quite the audacity to enter the city!"
Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an invisible aura. Within this city, he received significant national destiny blessings, greatly enhancing his strength. Hei Yu's choice to act here was clearly unwise.
"I really didn't expect you two to arrive so quickly!"
Hei Yu shrugged his shoulders. "Originally, I planned to capture this old man, which would force you to yield!"
"It seems your plan is about to fall through!"
Lu Fan sneered, "You entered the city without giving the Dragon Dynasty a second thought. You suffered a considerable loss at the North Sea Summit last time. Are you trying to test us again this time?"
"Quite the boastful words!"
Hei Yu's expression turned cold. As a ninth-level War Emperor, he was naturally very proud.
"It looks like you intend to fight here!" Long Yi narrowed his eyes. "However, if that's the case, you might die a miserable death, especially since our national destiny blessings are extremely high within this city."
"You don't want to fight here because you're afraid of damaging the city's foundations. I, however, have no such reservations."
With a faint smile, Hei Yu said directly, "But you can rest assured, I won't choose to fight you here, as it would be of no use to me."
"If that's the case, why are you still here?" Lu Fan said coldly. "Are you trying to force me to act?"
"Certainly not. I'm just here to tell you that if you want to save someone, come find me at Wuli Slope outside the city. And if you don't come, that person will definitely not survive!" Hei Yu said with a cold smile before turning to leave.
At this moment, Lu Fan frowned and looked at the others. However, none of the people present had been captured.
"Who exactly did he capture, and why is he so confident?" Long Yi asked in surprise. "Should we just act and take him down here!"
"Don't be rash!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Acting within the city is not a wise choice, moreover, it would harm innocent people. We absolutely cannot do that!"
Long Yi felt somewhat helpless but didn't dare to say much more. After all, Lu Fan was the Lord of the Dragon Dynasty, and he naturally had to obey Lu Fan's words.
"What exactly happened?"
Yang Zixin and Yang Shiyun arrived late, looking completely bewildered. They had been taking photos and sensed something was wrong, which prompted them to hurry over.
