Qing Die and Bai Die stood stunned, a flush of embarrassment on their faces. They hadn't expected that even with death looming, Lu Fan would boast, leaving them speechless and unsure how to respond.
Seeing their disbelief, Lu Fan saw no point in further explanation. With a single hand, he struck out, sending the charging Sacred Beast flying backward.
Witnessing this, Qing Die and Bai Die remained frozen, looking at Lu Fan with disbelief, even more so with dread. This was a Sacred Beast, a genuine Sacred Beast, and Lu Fan had so casually sent it flying with one palm.
The other two Sacred Beasts rushed forward to help. However, by the time they caught their falling companion, they discovered the Sacred Beast was already on the verge of death.
"You... you human! How dare you slaughter our Bamboo Sacred Beast!"
Their eyes glinting with cold light, the other two Sacred Beasts spoke in icy tones, their immense auras surging with fury. Sacred Beasts were incredibly important to their kind, and to see one killed so easily was unacceptable.
"It's dead?"
Qing Die stood dumbfounded, overwhelmed and shaken. She hadn't imagined events unfolding so bizarrely, leaving them completely caught off guard.
If it were an ordinary matter, it would be one thing. But a Sacred Beast, killed so casually by Lu Fan? It was utterly absurd.
"Let's attack together and make this brat pay with his life!"
The other two Sacred Beasts declared coldly, their eyes filled with a chilling gleam. With matters having reached this point, they would not back down.
At the same time, Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, "I advise you to be sensible. If you insist on fighting, you'll be the ones to suffer. You should be able to feel that my strength surpasses yours. If I truly wanted to deal with you, it would be as simple as flicking my fingers."
"Such an arrogant tone!"
The two Sacred Beasts scoffed, "Since you're so strong, show us if you truly have the ability! Defeat both of us at once!"
"Truly courting death. I had intended to spare you, but it seems that was unnecessary!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression calm. He hadn't intended to kill, but it seemed these individuals wouldn't take him seriously without a demonstration of power.
Two figures charged towards Lu Fan. With a mere lift of his foot, he sent them both recoiling, crashing hard against the stone wall.
Qing Die and Bai Die stood frozen. Ultimately, they had underestimated Lu Fan's strength, which was why they were so shocked, making them question if they were dreaming.
After a long wait, seeing that neither Sacred Beast had managed to rise, Qing Die finally spoke, "Are they dead?"
"Dead?"
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. "Probably."
"Are they really dead?"
Bai Die blinked in surprise, a tremor of shock running through her. If this were true, it was truly chilling to contemplate. What level of strength had Lu Fan reached to so easily subdue and dismiss Sacred Beasts?
"What are you two waiting for? Let's go!" Lu Fan shot them a look. "If we linger, more powerful beast race experts will arrive, and we'll have to fight again."
Qing Die and Bai Die snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, not daring to delay. They were acutely aware that they had just escaped certain death. Without Lu Fan, they would surely have perished.
Meanwhile, within a certain city, Hua Yu and Chang Feng were deep in conversation when a panicked beast race member rushed in. "Reporting to the Clan Leader, we've discovered traces of humans in the Yan Nan Mountain area. One of them is extremely powerful and has already killed three Sacred Beasts!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Killed Sacred Beasts?" Hua Yu shot to his feet. "Under normal circumstances, this shouldn't be possible! Human experts have all left the Central Continent, and the rest have been eliminated. For the past year, only those with weak cultivation have been hiding in the Central Continent. How could there be a strong one?"
"I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but based on the situation, it is indeed a human expert, and the beast race has already lost three strong individuals!" The man's expression was grave, not daring to conceal anything.
"Elder Lei Feng, you shall go personally!" Hua Yu's gaze fell upon an elder. "Ensure that person is killed. Within the borders of the Central Continent, human experts are not permitted!"
"Clan Leader, rest assured, I will slay him!" Elder Lei Feng nodded slightly, his eyes sharpening. With matters having reached this stage, he would show no hesitation. To dare kill Sacred Beasts was to challenge the majesty of the beast race, and he would not let such an offense go unpunished.
Concurrently, Lu Fan, along with Qing Die and the others, did not detour. They headed directly towards the Eastern Region. Even when intercepted by numerous beast race experts along the way, Lu Fan dealt with them all effortlessly, appearing unconcerned.
Qing Die repeatedly exclaimed in astonishment, a sense of unease growing within her. Traveling with such a powerful individual was truly awe-inspiring.
"There's a ruin ahead. Let's rest for a bit!" Lu Fan said after glancing at their surroundings. The ruins had once been a city, but after the great war between the two races, little remained.
Qing Die and Bai Die exchanged glances before nodding slightly. Since Lu Fan had spoken, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
Upon entering the ruined city, they found a room and settled down to rest, looking exhausted. They had been traveling continuously for days, constantly being pursued, and their bodies and minds were weary.
More importantly, the situation was far from trivial. A single misstep could lead to unforeseen disaster.
"You two rest well. I'll keep watch around here. If any beast race members approach, I'll notify you in advance!" Lu Fan stated.
In response, Bai Die shook her head. "You've already exerted yourself greatly today. You should be resting. I'll keep watch."
"With your spiritual energy, you probably wouldn't even sense a beast race expert approaching," Lu Fan replied, his words blunt.
At his words, Bai Die's face flushed with embarrassment. He was quite right; with so many powerful beast race members, she was hardly capable of dealing with them.
"Alright, you two go and rest."
Lu Fan spoke again, his gaze indifferent. With matters having come to this, there was no need for further discussion.
Hearing Lu Fan's words, Qing Die and Bai Die could only comply with a sense of helplessness. They knew that only Lu Fan could handle this duty, and they felt a touch of concern for him.
