"So this is the Cang Qiong Kingdom, and this is why they attacked the Long Kingdom!" the Fourth Elder said coldly, "You believe the first three elders died unnaturally, and therefore you can attack the Long Kingdom?"
"The experts of the Long Kingdom have all perished, and the successors are incompetent. A nation like this, even if the Cang Qiong Kingdom doesn't act, other nations will not sit idly by!"
Yan Cangtian sneered, "Therefore, those who understand the times are the wise. Fourth Elder, you must consider carefully. Fighting against our nation will inevitably lead to the destruction of the Long Kingdom, and you will cease to exist. If you can surrender to the Cang Qiong Kingdom, perhaps you can save your lives."
"You are spewing utter nonsense!" the Fourth Elder said coldly, "Our Long Kingdom's three elders are alive and well, merely in seclusion. How dare you slander them!"
"Indeed, the three elders have been in seclusion for many years. When they emerge, they will surely avenge today's humiliation!"
The Seventh Elder said coldly, "You will not be arrogant for much longer!"
"If I am not mistaken, the Long Kingdom's three elders have been in seclusion for over 10 years!" Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes, "Having been in seclusion for over 10 years without appearing, this is a colossal lie. And the instigator of this lie is your Fourth Elder!"
"Utterly preposterous!"
The Ninth Elder's face turned ashen. In truth, as Yan Cangtian said, they had not seen the First, Second, or Third Elder in over 10 years. The Fourth Elder had always claimed they were in seclusion, but they too had their doubts.
However, they dared not speculate rashly. Perhaps it was most beneficial for the Long Kingdom if the elders were indeed in seclusion.
"I reiterate, the three elders are alive and well!"
His gaze turned sharp, and the Fourth Elder looked at Yan Cangtian, "One day, our Long Kingdom will flatten the Cang Qiong Kingdom!"
"Since you insist on lying, then so be it!"
Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes, "In any case, with today's battle, the Long Kingdom will fall. Your lies are of no use!"
The Fourth Elder said no more, directly attacking Elder Wuji with great force. He had clashed with Elder Wuji many times before, and now was the time to decide the victor.
At this very moment, Lu Fan also looked at Yan Cangtian, "They fight their battles, and we fight ours! If we don't settle this today, I will not rest!"
"Do you think I fear you?"
Yan Cangtian's aura was oppressive as he immediately charged towards Lu Fan. His long saber transformed into a sharp sword, emitting a piercing sword energy.
Meanwhile, within the Death Valley, many martial experts of the Long Kingdom were filled with fervor. Not only was Lu Fan present, but the elders of the Long Kingdom had also come to assist. Such a powerful lineup gave them hope.
Elder Wuji and the Fourth Elder engaged in a fierce battle, shaking the heavens and earth as they fought from the north to the south of the Death Valley. Lu Fan and Yan Cangtian were also engaged in a similar struggle.
The other elders of the Long Kingdom were entangled with the First Elder of the Black Bear Kingdom, and only by doing so could they maintain parity.
"Will he be in danger?"
On a nearby mountain peak, Bai Hua Xue frowned, looking towards Lu Fan's location with deep concern. She knew very well how powerful Lu Fan's opponent was.
"He won't be. He is the guardian deity of the Long Kingdom. How could anything happen to him!"
Many women beside her spoke. Some were seated on butterflies, while others rode on giant birds. Each of them was quite agile. As prodigies of the Ju Ling Kingdom, their talent was extraordinary.
They had come to the outer battlefield this time by sneaking out. They had never witnessed such an ancient and grand scene, and were naturally quite curious.
"I hate invaders the most!" one woman exclaimed, "Why don't we go down and help them?"
Looking at the passionate martial experts of the Long Kingdom who were falling one after another to the Three Alliances, the women felt a sense of sympathy.
"Absolutely not!" Bai Hua Xue warned, "If the Ju Ling Kingdom offends the Cang Qiong Kingdom, it will not be a good thing. Moreover, this is their battlefield, and we must not participate!"
"The Ju Ling Kingdom and the Long Kingdom have always been on good terms. Why doesn't the Ju Ling Kingdom help the Long Kingdom when it is in trouble?" one woman asked in surprise, "Besides, the Cang Qiong Kingdom and the Ju Ling Kingdom are not on good terms!"
"These matters are not for us to decide!"
Bai Hua Xue shook her head, "Nor are they for us to influence. If we rashly join the battle, it will cause endless trouble. When we return to our kingdom, we will surely be punished!"
Hearing Bai Hua Xue's words, they suppressed their anger and dissatisfaction, but dared not say more, and could only watch quietly.
The gazes of many young women remained fixed on Lu Fan. Lu Fan, at such a young age, could become the guardian deity of the Long Kingdom, making him a god admired by countless young girls.
Meanwhile, within the Death Valley, Lu Fan continuously dodged sword energy while absorbing inner energy. He had only one chance to unleash the Great Desolation Exterminating Heaven Palm and kill Yan Cangtian with a single blow.
Only by doing so could he turn the tide of the battle, otherwise, the Long Kingdom was in grave danger.
In fact, even he doubted whether the first three elders of the Long Kingdom truly existed. If the Long Kingdom had no three elders, they would be the last line of defense. Once this defense was broken, the entire Long Kingdom would be invaded by foreign enemies.
"You boy, dodging everywhere, are you perhaps afraid of something!"
Yan Cangtian said coldly, "If you are truly afraid, then go cool off somewhere else!" Su Dan Novel Network
"I've let you off so many times, but you haven't hit me once!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "You are truly disappointing!"
"Such a big mouth!"
His expression instantly turned cold, and Yan Cangtian was filled with displeasure. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so ignorant of heaven and earth, still daring to boast when clearly at a disadvantage.
"Since you are determined to seek death, I shall send you on your way!" Yan Cangtian swung his battle saber again, showing no mercy.
After exhausting a wave of his strength, Lu Fan suddenly soared into the sky, his body absorbing a violent surge of inner energy. A massive phantom appeared behind him, seemingly obscuring the sun, and the Death Valley was plunged into darkness.
Many martial experts watched, their expressions filled with shock, for in the sky above, Lu Fan had a giant five-fingered palm behind him, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Martial skill!"
Yan Cangtian's expression changed, and he immediately tried to flee. He had already expended considerable strength to deal with Lu Fan, and was now at his limit. Lu Fan had been holding back his ultimate move, likely for this very moment.
"Is this a martial skill!"
Many martial experts watched. They had heard of martial skills before, and seeing such a magnificent display, their hearts were greatly shaken.
On the mountain peak not far away, Bai Hua Xue's body trembled, and her heart was filled with excitement. She had never seen the techniques Lu Fan displayed, but with such a colossal aura, Lu Fan was bound to kill Yan Cangtian today. Thus, Lu Fan would be safe, and she saw this clearly.
