"Now can you tell me how you know Long Jianye?" Long Aohai asked Su Fan again.
Long Aohai's voice pulled Su Fan back from his thoughts.
"Don't rush, I don't even know who you are yet. Which member of the Long family are you?" Su Fan waved his hand, having been asked several questions by the other party before asking one himself.
"I am the Patriarch of the Long family, Long Aohai!" Long Aohai said directly, hiding nothing from Su Fan.
"The Patriarch of the Long family! My apologies, my apologies!" Su Fan exclaimed in surprise. However, he thought, the Patriarch of the Long family only had this much strength, it was nothing much. Su Fan was not too concerned.
"And who are you?" Long Aohai still didn't know Su Fan's identity.
"I am Su Fan. I presume you have heard my name," Su Fan said with a smile. He wasn't afraid of the other party getting angry upon hearing his name. The situation was already beyond reconciliation, so what was there to fear from a little more animosity?
Long Aohai had naturally heard of the name, but he never expected the person before him to be Su Fan!
"You killed Long Jianchuan, the Long Ying brothers, and Long Chuan?" Long Aohai asked Su Fan grimly, confirming the matter.
Su Fan nodded.
"It's not my fault. Long Jianchuan brought it upon himself. He was arrogant and conceited, and even tried to steal my things and kill my friends. Was I supposed to not fight back?"
"As for the Long Ying brothers, they were equally arrogant and conceited, holding my friend hostage to threaten me. Was I supposed to wait for them to kill me?"
"As for Long Chuan, I don't need to say much. It's a common trait of your Long family, arrogance and conceit." Su Fan explained calmly.
"It seems you admit it." Long Aohai slowly walked towards Su Fan.
Su Fan was taken aback. *You're already recovered?* He checked his own condition. He could fight, but he wasn't sure about Long Aohai's state.
"Hey! Don't push yourself, be careful not to aggravate your wounds!" Su Fan warned Long Aohai, who was slowly approaching.
"Although I haven't fully recovered, killing you in your current state is as easy as flipping my hand!" Long Aohai said coldly to Su Fan.
"Take your unwillingness with you and apologize to my Long family in the underworld!" Long Aohai suddenly charged at Su Fan, his sword stabbing towards Su Fan's vital points without hesitation.
Su Fan's eyebrows shot up. He noticed that Long Aohai wasn't using a lot of his true qi, meaning his injuries hadn't healed much! Su Fan's heart leaped with joy. He immediately retreated, easily dodging Long Aohai's unavoidable sword strike.
Long Aohai was shocked. He thought Su Fan hadn't recovered, but it seemed he had recovered quite a bit.
"You have no honor! You ambushed this old man of twenty-three!" Su Fan said angrily after dodging the attack.
"How did you recover so quickly?" Long Aohai was quite surprised that Su Fan not only easily dodged his attack but also had the spare energy to retort.
"If you waited a little longer, I could have even ripped the crown of your head off. I advise you to leave quickly, or I won't be polite anymore!" Su Fan threatened Long Aohai.
Long Aohai actually hesitated for a moment, then realized. Su Fan was bluffing. If he had such ability, why didn't he act earlier? Why was he spouting such nonsense here?
"Hmph! I see you're just a spent force!" Long Aohai, unwilling to believe it, attacked Su Fan again.
Su Fan smiled slightly. He had just remembered something. He was very weak now, but his clones each possessed one-third of his full strength, and there were three of them. Attacking Long Aohai in his current state with three clones would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
"Clone Technique!" Su Fan immediately used the Clone Technique, and three clones split from his body.
Long Aohai's charging momentum immediately halted as he braked sharply.
"Little ones, go and kill him!" Su Fan wouldn't be polite to Long Aohai and directly signaled his clones to attack.
The three clones, under Su Fan's command, charged at Long Aohai. Su Fan wielded the Azure Dragon Sword, and his clones also used the Azure Dragon Sword. The three clones used the Instantaneous Movement Step, surrounding Long Aohai from three directions, blocking his retreat.
"Divine Sunflame!" Golden flames erupted on the Azure Dragon Sword. A hint of panic appeared on Long Aohai's face. He felt a threat to his life. He wanted to retreat, but his escape route was blocked by the clones, leaving him no room to withdraw.
"Fire Dragon Annihilation!" The three clones directly unleashed Fire Dragon Annihilation, attacking Long Aohai from all sides. Long Aohai used his newly recovered true qi to fly upwards, dodging the fire dragon's attack.
"Horizontal Stance, Single Flash Slash!" The three clones simultaneously launched martial skills at Long Aohai. The three clones instantly vanished, transforming into a golden sword light that pierced through Long Aohai's body. Long Aohai was heavily wounded, struck once from behind and twice in the chest. Blood gushed out uncontrollably.
*Pfft!* Long Aohai spat out a large mouthful of blood, his aura weak, his life force rapidly diminishing.
"Su Fan, I'll remember you. Don't you dare leave!" Long Aohai knew he had no chance of resisting and roared at Su Fan.
Su Fan sneered dismissively. "You're about to die, what's the point of saying that?" Su Fan wasted no more words and prepared to deliver the final blow to Long Aohai.
"Vertical Stance, Mountain Splitting Sea Breaking!" The three clones raised their swords and brought them down with immense force towards Long Aohai's head. Three massive sword energies instantly enveloped Long Aohai. Long Aohai immediately turned into a streak of light and shot upwards, breaking through the three sword energies and fleeing towards the formation.
Su Fan was shocked. He's still alive? He couldn't believe it. Long Aohai, so heavily injured, could still escape? But there was no corpse on the ground. That streak of light was definitely Long Aohai's figure. However, Su Fan's current state didn't allow him to pursue, nor could he chase.
On the formation platform, Long Aohai fell headfirst from the sky, landing face-first on the ground. Su Fan had forced him to the point of using a life-saving talisman. Unforgivable! Every Patriarch of the Long family possessed a one-time use life-saving talisman that, in a moment of mortal danger, would provide the user with a sturdy shield and allow them to break out of the battlefield and fly towards the Long family. However, because the Long family was outside the formation, he could only fly to this location.
Long Aohai struggled to get up and, following a specific footwork, opened a teleportation gate and walked out.
"Patriarch!" The Long family elders waiting outside were shocked to see their Patriarch so injured and rushed forward to support him.
"Patriarch, what happened to you?" The Great Elder looked at Long Aohai's injuries with great concern.
"Su Fan! It's Su Fan inside!" Long Aohai recounted his encounter with Su Fan.
"Patriarch, we will go in and avenge you!" The Long family members immediately prepared to enter and seek revenge on Su Fan.
"Stop! Do you have the ability to withstand the pressure within the ancestral land? Even if you could enter, what then? Could you find Su Fan? And even if you found him, if he recovered his strength, would you be his match inside?" Long Aohai's series of questions silenced everyone.
