Boom…
With a deafening sound, the members of the Dragon Group were sent flying backward. Even Long Aotian couldn't maintain his stance, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Despite being at the peak of the Battle Spirit realm, he couldn't withstand the formidable aura and was barely able to resist.
Seeing the Dragon Group members crumble, Lu Fan's expression turned grim. It was only then that he realized Elder Shangguan had not unleashed his true strength during their previous exchange.
"To be called a King, how can you mere ants dare to challenge me?"
Elder Shangguan laughed heartily, "A mere Battle Spirit, daring to be presumptuous before this Venerable!"
Seeing the Dragon Group members heavily injured, Lu Fan was helpless. He forced himself to attack Elder Shangguan, hoping that news of this incident would reach the Dragon Country's headquarters and that some elders would come to his aid. Otherwise, a great disaster would surely befall them today.
"Hmph!"
Elder Shangguan snorted and struck out with his palm. Lu Fan's arm went numb, and he was forced to retreat, blood once again trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"With you lot, how can you stop me!"
Elder Shangguan's imposing aura preceded him as he walked step by step towards Lu Fan. He had been in the Dragon Country for some time, and with Lu Fan right before him, he wouldn't let this opportunity pass easily.
"Protect Master Lu!"
Long Aotian shouted. Lu Fan carried the Elder Token, representing the Dragon Country, and no mistakes could be made. If he were to die at Shangguan's hands, it would be a dereliction of duty for them.
The members of the Dragon Group stepped forward, attempting to block Elder Shangguan. However, in the face of such immense power, they were insignificant and were quickly sent flying by Elder Shangguan.
Lu Fan, also heavily injured, stared intently at Elder Shangguan, filled with great unwillingness. He still had many things left undone and was not willing to depart just like this.
With this thought, Lu Fan abruptly stood up, his internal energy surging. He looked at Elder Shangguan again, "Even if I die today, I will make you pay a price!"
Elder Shangguan paid him no mind, and a whistling sound attacked Lu Fan, directly targeting his vital points.
But at that very moment, the meteorite on Lu Fan's body suddenly emitted a radiant glow, not only neutralizing the attack but also clearing Lu Fan's meridians, leaving him in shock. Su Dan Novel Network.
After the meteorite's glow, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been unblocked, as if being impacted by some power, instantly granting him immense strength.
At this moment, he even felt confident that he would not be defeated by Elder Shangguan.
"Could it be another breakthrough?"
Lu Fan murmured in disbelief.
Many people present cast their gazes towards Lu Fan, the light emanating from the meteorite piquing their curiosity.
"How is this possible!"
Elder Shangguan frowned. His previous attack was a sure-kill move, and unless it was an existence like himself, it was impossible to neutralize. What he never expected was that a mere ordinary meteorite could nullify his formidable strike.
Lu Fan retrieved the meteorite and then looked at Elder Shangguan, "You old scoundrel, your intrusion into the Dragon Country is an invasion of territory. I will teach you a lesson!"
"With you?" Elder Shangguan sneered dismissively.
Long Aotian stood by, sensing something amiss.
"What is going on?" Han Bing asked in surprise. "Master Lu's aura seems different from before."
"Indeed, it's much stronger than before," Jian Ying said, bewildered. "Could it be the meteorite from earlier?"
"This is too exaggerated!" Bei Dou exclaimed in astonishment. "To instantly increase combat power, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would believe it."
As they conversed, Lu Fan had already engaged Elder Shangguan. In their battle, Lu Fan held his ground, causing Elder Shangguan's face to turn ashen.
He, the esteemed elder of the Sea Country, was forced into such a predicament by Lu Fan, how could he not be angered.
Even more bizarre was Lu Fan's instantaneous surge in combat power, something even he had never encountered. Furthermore, in their exchange, although Elder Shangguan would not be defeated, he could not suppress Lu Fan, which made him somewhat embarrassed.
If this dragged on any longer, the other elders from the Dragon Country would arrive. Coupled with Lu Fan's peculiar strength, he might be forced to remain in the Dragon Country today.
With this thought, Elder Shangguan lost the will to fight. He struck Lu Fan away with his palm and fled towards the distant horizon, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will return!"
"You think you can escape!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and pursued directly. Although he couldn't defeat Elder Shangguan, restraining him was not a significant problem.
Once the other elders of the Dragon Country arrived, Elder Shangguan would likely have no way to escape.
After all, this was the Dragon Country, and no one was allowed to act wildly, let alone a strong practitioner from the Sea Country.
One chased, and one fled. The onlookers wished to go and witness the battle, but they found themselves unable to keep up.
The members of the Dragon Group sat cross-legged, continuously healing their injuries. Being injured by such a powerful individual was no small matter.
The Lord of Jiangnan City arrived late. Seeing their disheveled state, he quickly asked, "Why are so many strong practitioners of the Dragon Group so heavily injured?"
"Lord of Jiangnan City, your intelligence is flawed," Han Bing frowned. "The one who infiltrated the Dragon Country's heartland was not just any expert from the Sea Country, but an Elder of the Sea Country!"
"An Elder of the Sea Country?" The Lord of Jiangnan City trembled violently. "How is this possible! The Elder of the Sea Country bears the destiny of the Sea Country. How dare he sneak into the Dragon Country!"
"He probably knew that the three great elders were in seclusion," Long Aotian said coldly. "Otherwise, how would he dare to be so presumptuous."
The Lord of Jiangnan City nodded repeatedly, then asked, "Is Master Lu alright?"
"Don't worry, Master Lu is perfectly safe," Jian Ying shrugged. "He's currently chasing the Elder of the Sea Country."
"Chasing the Elder of the Sea Country?" The Lord of Jiangnan City was stunned. "Is Master Lu... crazy? Chasing the Elder of the Sea Country?"
The others exchanged glances, showing helpless expressions. They had seen powerful individuals before, but never one like this.
After a series of clashes, Elder Shangguan arrived at a mountain range. Beyond this mountain range lay the border of the Dragon Country, and once he reached it, he would be able to leave the Dragon Country.
At this very moment, within the Dragon Country, many individuals from the three hidden sects cast their gazes towards Jiangnan, showing considerable surprise.
Elder Shangguan, with his formidable strength and bearing the destiny of the Sea Country, was being chased and beaten by Lu Fan. This was simply unbelievable.
The experts from the three hidden sects all emerged, observing the situation.
Individuals at Elder Shangguan's level had already embarked on the path to the pinnacle. To be beaten so badly was astonishing.
"I say, old man, you came to kill me, and now it's one-on-one. What are you afraid of!" Lu Fan taunted.
"This is within the Dragon Country. If we were in the outer battlefield, would I be afraid of you!"
Elder Shangguan said coldly, unleashing his shadow technique, attempting to evade Lu Fan.
He could clearly sense that experts from the Dragon Country's headquarters were on the move. If he didn't leave quickly, he might truly perish here today.
