"How is this possible? Not even at the seventh stage of War Emperor, why would he possess such strength!"
Hei Yu was shocked internally, but at this moment, he could not afford to think too much. His figure leaped up fiercely, while frantically circulating the aura within his body. He knew very well that if he could not withstand this powerful strike, his life might be in danger.
Boom...
A huge sound echoed outside the ancient well, and the entire North Sea was covered by light, looking like the end of days.
At this very moment, Hei Yu's figure exploded and flew out. He was like a kite with its string cut, smashing fiercely against the stone wall, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and even his arm was immobile. He was pale to the extreme.
The other numerous black figures from the Ghost Hall flew out violently. Under the powerful aura, they appeared so fragile, as if they were not worth mentioning at all.
"This..."
The Crab stood to the side, its heart filled with immense shock. The other people from the North Sea Village also cried out in surprise. Although they knew that the item left by the ancients must be extraordinary, they did not expect it to unleash such power.
This was only the combination of three swords. If all five swords were to appear together, perhaps even the sun and moon of the universe could be shattered.
"My heavens, is this the power of divine swords?"
Big Fish exclaimed in fear, "It's truly enviable. If I could obtain this divine sword, I would die without regret!"
"What are you talking about here!"
The old village chief glared. "This is an item of the ancient tribes. We people of North Sea Village must not covet it, or we will never be forgiven!"
"I was just saying, Old Village Chief, please don't take it seriously." Big Fish quickly apologized with a smile.
At this very moment, Hei Yu slowly awoke, supporting his severely injured body, and looked at Lu Fan. "I truly did not expect you to have such might. It seems I underestimated you!"
"Ghost Hall will be destroyed one day!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "I will also avenge the annihilation of my entire clan."
"Just by you all?"
Hei Yu sneered, "Although I am no match for you, there are countless true powerhouses in the Ghost Hall. At that time, you will experience what helplessness means!"
After speaking, Hei Yu transformed into a stream of light and stepped out towards the peak of the North Sea, not daring to linger. He knew very well that if he did not leave, his life might be in danger.
Through the battle just now, he could clearly see everything.
"We can't let them escape!"
Long Yi spoke, about to draw his sword to pursue, but was stopped by Lu Fan. "Forget it! Since they have left, then so be it!"
"But we finally managed to injure him, and we're just letting him go like this!"
Lin Ke frowned, "I'm a bit unwilling."
"Although he is severely injured, he is still a ninth-stage War Emperor. If we were to fight him alone, we might not be his match."
"Well said!"
Ye Shisan nodded. "Now that the Dragon Roar Sword is in hand, it is already fortunate."
"By the way, since the five swords can merge, why didn't you make a move just now?"
Long Yi looked at Ye Shisan, "Do you not have a sword on you?"
"When did you ever see me carry a sword?"
Ye Shisan waved his hand. "To be honest, the divine sword of the Ye Clan has always been in safekeeping and has not yet emerged!"
"So that's how it is!"
Long Yi nodded slightly. "I misunderstood you, but now that the Ghost Hall is acting recklessly, why hasn't the Ye Clan's sword emerged?"
"The Ye Clan's sword is naturally reserved for the grand finale!"
Ye Shisan smiled. "When all five swords are gathered, they will possess world-shattering power."
"You think quite perfectly!"
Lin Ke glared. "But it makes sense. The Ye Clan has many experts. It's understandable that they would keep the divine sword safe."
"Everyone, I am very happy that you were able to wait for the divine sword," the old village chief spoke. "I am already seventy years old, and I was severely injured today, so I likely won't live much longer. This old man suddenly has an unreasonable request."
"Old Village Chief, please speak directly. As long as we can fulfill it, we will not disappoint you!" Lu Fan quickly said.
"Now that North Sea Village has offended the Ghost Hall, there will likely be many hardships in the future. This old man will not live for many more years, and only asks that when North Sea Village is in trouble, you all lend a helping hand!" the old village chief said solemnly.
"North Sea Village offending the Ghost Hall is also because of our five great ancient clans. We will definitely keep this matter in mind!"
Ye Shisan spoke. "Village Chief, there's no need to worry so much."
"Indeed, if it weren't for the people of North Sea Village being able to stop the Ghost Hall members, we wouldn't have been so smooth."
Lu Fan said solemnly, "If North Sea Village is in trouble in the future, how could we stand by and do nothing?"
"With your words, this old man can rest assured!"
The old village chief nodded slightly, his expression becoming even more serious. He knew very well that the Ghost Hall would never give up.
After returning to North Sea Village, after Lu Fan and the others had dinner, they went to the old village chief's room. The old village chief lay on the bed, looking somewhat weak. Lu Fan had brought some pills specifically and also performed acupuncture on the old village chief.
"You don't need to fuss over me anymore. I've reached this age, and I probably won't live much longer," the old village chief waved his hand. "However, to be able to witness your growth, this life is without regret."
"Village Chief, please don't say that. If something happens to you, what will the people of North Sea Village do?" Long Yi said with a smile. "Therefore, you must not have any accidents. Moreover, after we eliminate the Ghost Hall, we will also invite you to celebrate together!"
"Well said, well said!"
The old village chief smiled, looking even more benevolent.
Leaving the old village chief's room, Lu Fan and a few others came to the big tree at the entrance of North Sea Village. Sitting on the tree, they looked up at the vast starry sky, their eyes filled with anticipation.
"The air in North Sea Village is really good!" Lin Ke smiled. "After things are done, why don't we settle down in North Sea Village?"
"Okay!"
Lu Fan chuckled. "As long as you like it!"
Holding Lin Ke in his arms, Lu Fan revealed a satisfied smile.
"Ahem... what are you two doing?" Long Yi glared. "Don't you consider the people around? Such public displays of affection are probably not appropriate."
"That's right!"
Ye Shisan nodded. "I, the young master of the Ye family, am also being shown affection."
"You two only know how to make sarcastic remarks!"
Lin Ke glared. "But I think the two of you have quite compatible personalities. Why don't you two give it a try?"
"Us?"
Long Yi's expression changed drastically, and he felt somewhat awkward. Although he was handsome and had been the senior disciple of Canglong Academy, he had never been in a relationship. Now, with Lin Ke saying this, he felt quite embarrassed.
"It's too late, I'm too sleepy. I'm going to bed first!" Long Yi said, and then turned to leave, looking somewhat hurried.
"I think he's shy!" Lu Fan shrugged. "I've never seen him like this before."
