Soon, Lu Fan entered the deep mountains, and two graves appeared ahead, like lonely souls guarding a gate, one on each side. As soon as he entered, a chilling sensation enveloped him.
Lu Fan bowed to the two graves and then walked further inside.
When Cang Weng arrived before the graves, a flicker of doubt crossed his eyes. Graves in the deep mountains? This young man was already so strong at such a young age. Could it be that he had encountered some miraculous opportunity here? Thinking this, Cang Weng felt a surge of excitement and quickly followed.
If he could seize an opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster realm, he would surely become an invincible existence. As far as he knew, among the masters he was acquainted with, no one had surpassed the Grandmaster realm. Many believed that the Grandmaster stage was the limit for ordinary people.
Throughout history, there had been countless Grandmaster experts, but no one had ever been heard to surpass this realm. Perhaps... he would be the first person in China! To become stronger and get rich, the more Cang Weng thought about it, the more excited he became, and his steps even quickened.
A moment later, Lu Fan arrived before the stone monument of the Luoyan Sect at the burial site. He bowed several times to the monument: "Esteemed seniors, this junior has come to disturb you again."
Behind Lu Fan, the gaunt-fingered Soul-Snatching Cang Weng slowly approached. Upon seeing the three characters "Luoyan Sect" written on the monument, his heart was filled with surprise. This小子 had indeed found a miraculous opportunity, no wonder he was so strong! But, hehe! All of this would soon be mine!
"You finally decided to show yourself!" Lu Fan suddenly turned around, looking at Cang Weng and saying calmly.
"Hahaha!小子! What have you obtained here? Hand it all over now, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse. Otherwise, I'll dismember you and take your belongings." A fierce glint flashed in Cang Weng's eyes.
He had been careless last time and was injured by Lu Fan. However, this time, he wouldn't be so lenient with this小子.
"Hmph! A defeated foe, and you dare to try and snatch my things?" Lu Fan sneered.
"小子! Don't get too cocky. Last time, it was just my carelessness. This time, you won't be so lucky." As Cang Weng spoke, an aura, an inexplicably awe-inspiring aura, emanated from him.
Grandmaster! This was the aura of a true powerhouse!
"Hmph! To be so arrogant at your age! I defeated you once, and I can defeat you a second time. However, your killing intent is too heavy, so I have no intention of letting you leave alive. Before I make my move, tell me, was it the Lin family who ordered you to do this?" A killing intent also appeared in Lu Fan's eyes.
Since this fellow could track him here, who knew if he would attack those close to him. Luring him to this place was indeed a plan to ensure he wouldn't escape.
"Hmph! No one can order me around. Except for money!" Cang Weng's lips curled into a cold smile. His bony hands instantly transformed into sharp claws, and with a whoosh, they tore through the air, lunging towards Lu Fan.
"Last time I held back because I didn't want such a bloody scene in front of so many people. This time, you won't be so fortunate!" Lu Fan sneered, and with a leap, he charged forward as well. The two instantly clashed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Both of them no longer held back, and the sound of wind generated by their fists and feet was incessant.
Lu Fan was somewhat shocked. He wondered how this old fellow had cultivated his Eagle Claw technique. His claws were as hard as iron and truly formidable. If not for his abnormal senses, dealing with this old man would have been difficult.
It seemed that last time this old fellow had indeed been careless, thinking he was just a little kid and easy to deal with. As a result, he had lost an arm and given Lu Fan the advantage.
However, isn't there a saying: "All martial arts are invincible, only speed cannot be broken!" Hmph! I am simply faster than you.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... A sinister smile appeared on Lu Fan's lips. His fists and feet moved like the wind, launching a fierce assault on Cang Weng. Bang, bang, bang... Before long, Cang Weng was hit by several of Lu Fan's punches, and his stance and footwork became somewhat disordered.
Whoosh... Cang Weng took a deep breath, steadying himself, his eyes filled with even more killing intent. Swish... A thread as fine as a hair suddenly appeared in his hand!
Unbreakable Sky Silk!? Lu Fan's mouth twitched. This kind of thing only existed in legends, and he never expected someone to actually possess it.
"小子! Die!" Cang Weng was completely enraged. He closed the distance instantly, and with a swish, his hands moved in tandem, the Sky Silk in his grasp wrapping around Lu Fan. The Sky Silk was exceptionally tough; if one's limbs were entangled, they could be severed in an instant.
"Old fellow! You have quite a few treasures on you!" Lu Fan suddenly smiled slyly and rapidly retreated.
"Hmph! It's not so easy to escape!" Cang Weng immediately gave chase. However, after only a few steps forward, his feet suddenly felt soft, and with a whoosh, he began to fall downwards.
"Hehe!" Lu Fan chuckled and, with a whoosh, jumped into the opening as well.
Cang Weng felt his vision go black, his body plummeting rapidly, and with a bang, he crashed onto the ground. Looking up again, he saw Lu Fan straddling the opening above, looking down at him with a grin.
The light was dim, with light only present in the area of the opening. The surroundings were pitch black. And Lu Fan was blocking the opening, making the light inside even dimmer. The opening was also at a height that an ordinary person couldn't reach even by jumping. How infuriating!
"小子! What is this place? Let me out, and I can spare your life." Cang Weng felt a hint of fear, but being a Grandmaster, he quickly calmed down. He looked up at Lu Fan and said.
"Bah... Presumptuous. I have no intention of letting you go!" Lu Fan spat down from above.
"Hmph! It's not so easy to kill me! When I get out, I will still kill you,小子. Not only will I kill you, but I will also kill everyone around you." Cang Weng roared in anger.
"You should worry about how to get out alive." Lu Fan held a delicate dagger in his hand, straddling his legs and guarding the opening. If this old fellow managed to climb up, he would kill him with a single stab. If he couldn't, hehe! He would see how the twelve stone figures would grind him into blood tofu!
Swish... Swish... Swish... Suddenly, a rustling sound came from all around. Cang Weng was immediately alarmed. His eyesight was not as good as Lu Fan's. It wasn't until the twelve stone figures were almost upon him that he could clearly see they were twelve stone figures.
Whoosh... Suddenly, the stone figures began to attack. Although their initial speed was very slow, Cang Weng's eyes couldn't see in the dark... nor had he learned the Twelve Close-Combat Styles...
Bang... Bang... At first, Cang Weng could still resist by listening, but the stone figures' speed and ferocity increased with each passing moment. Although Cang Weng's claws were as hard as iron hooks, it didn't mean his body was as hard as iron. A moment of carelessness and contact with a stone figure was unbearable!
After a while, Cang Weng was stumbling around, beaten by the twelve stone figures, with multiple fractures. The Sky Silk in his hand was useless.
After enduring for a while longer, with a splurt... splurt... Cang Weng took two more hits, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
"小子... Save me... Save me..." Cang Weng kept shouting, and with a thud, he collapsed onto the ground.
Bang, bang, bang... The stone figures did not stop. They kicked Cang Weng flying again. However, he was not as lucky as Lu Fan, who could use the force to leap out of the opening. He was kicked flying, fell back down, and was then kicked up again...
Damn it... This is too bloody! Lu Fan covered his eyes directly. It looked like he would need to scrub the ground later.
"What the hell... Stop playing, or he'll really become blood tofu!" Lu Fan was overwhelmed, not knowing how to control these stone figures to stop.
