"Too much nonsense, let's just get to it!" Lu Fan shrugged.
"May I ask which sect or school you belong to, and why you are so arrogant?" Bai Yu spoke, casting his gaze towards Lu Fan. "You should be aware that the Qingshui Sect is no ordinary power."
"Does being a powerful immortal cultivation sect mean you can do as you please!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Today, I will protect them. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be killed without mercy!"
"Truly ignorant of heaven and earth!" Zhao Dahai could not tolerate it. He stomped forward, exuding a powerful aura. As a peak seventh-star Spirit User, he was an outstanding figure among the younger generation, and how could he possibly put Lu Fan in his eyes?
Unfortunately, Lu Fan stood his ground, not showing much tension, even appearing calm and composed.
At that very moment, two streams of spiritual energy surged around Lu Fan, forcefully repelling Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai didn't even have time to react.
Bai Yu was even more shocked by this scene. He knew Zhao Dahai's strength all too well. For Lu Fan to reach such a level, he must be no ordinary person.
*Pfft...*
Zhao Dahai spat out a mouthful of blood, his gaze snapping towards Lu Fan. "Who exactly are you? How can you possess such strength?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you will not leave Niutian Village today!" Lu Fan's eyes held a killing intent. He didn't intend to deal with Zhao Dahai, but Zhao Dahai was uncooperative. He didn't mind sending Zhao Dahai to an untimely death.
"Senior Sister Bai Yu, I'm counting on you!" Zhao Dahai looked towards Bai Yu, knowing that Bai Yu was a peak ninth-star Spirit User, an absolute authority within the Qingshui Sect, with no disciple able to contend with her.
"Are you sure you want to make a move?" Lu Fan looked at Bai Yu, his eyes filled with killing intent and a formidable aura. With these words, Bai Yu's expression changed slightly. He could clearly feel Lu Fan's suppression.
"I..." Bai Yu's pretty face flushed. As the senior disciple of the Qingshui Sect, being threatened like this, she dared not make a move, feeling quite stifled.
"Senior Sister Bai Yu, what are you hesitating for!" Zhao Dahai spoke again. "You are a ninth-star expert!"
"This is your family matter, and I cannot get too involved!" Bai Yu said. "I'll wait for you outside!" With that, Bai Yu scurried away towards the village exit. He could feel the aura emanating from Lu Fan. If he were to make a move, his outcome would surely be the same as Zhao Dahai's.
Zhao Dahai stood frozen, utterly incredulous. Bai Yu was known for her pride within the Qingshui Sect, but her imposing aura had completely vanished. Facing such a gaze, Bai Yu did not flinch. In the face of life, dignity was worthless. He knew very well that if he made a move, it was uncertain whether he could leave alive today.
Lu Fan dared to act, so he naturally had no fear.
"It seems your last hope has been extinguished!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Are you feeling despair?"
"Don't get cocky!" Zhao Dahai said coldly. "Do you dare to kill me? I am a disciple of the Qingshui Sect!"
"Since I dare to act, I have never feared anything!" Lu Fan sneered. "Now that you say that, I can fulfill your wish!" As Lu Fan finished speaking, he stepped towards Zhao Dahai, showing no intention of holding back.
The villagers of Niutian Village stood by, their hearts filled with shock. They had expected Lu Fan to be at a disadvantage, but now they realized they were wrong, terribly wrong.
"I can give you one more chance. Kneel down, kowtow, and swear that you will never come to Niutian Village again!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Only then can I spare your life. Otherwise, you will likely perish here today!"
"What a joke!" Zhao Dahai said coldly. "I am the esteemed closed-door disciple of the Qingshui Sect. You want me to kneel and admit fault?"
"It seems you don't value your life at all!" Lu Fan shrugged helplessly. "Since that is the case, then do not blame me for being merciless!" As soon as the words fell, a stream of light surged from Lu Fan's palm, carrying an immense killing intent.
"You dare..." Zhao Dahai's voice trembled. He could feel this killing intent but still couldn't believe Lu Fan would do such a thing.
"There is nothing in this world I dare not do!" Lu Fan's expression was cold, and he paid no mind. In an instant, he was in front of Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai wanted to retaliate but was sent flying by Lu Fan's palm.
Seeing this, the Zhao family members rushed forward to help, only to find that Zhao Dahai was already dead.
"You... you actually killed the Second Young Master!" The Zhao family members were incredulous. In the entire Qingshui Town, the Zhao family held absolute sway, and no one had ever dared to do such a thing. Yet today, it had happened, and so realistically, even Zhao Dahai had met his end.
"Not only will I kill him, but I won't let you go either!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "After all, with you existing, I cannot leave with peace of mind!" With his words, Lu Fan moved with uncanny steps, and within a few exchanges, he had dealt with all the Zhao family members.
Bai Yu looked at the scene before him, his legs growing weak. Although he was a peerless prodigy of the Qingshui Sect and had experienced some battles, he had never imagined that Lu Fan would be so clean and decisive, never dragging things out.
Within Niutian Village, the villagers were also greatly frightened. The entire Zhao family had been wiped out, and right here in Niutian Village, leaving them in shock.
"You killed Junior Brother Zhao, and Master will not forgive you!" Bai Yu's face turned ashen as he spoke.
"If I deal with you too, then no one will know it was me!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"No, no, no!" Bai Yu retreated backward. "I don't want to die yet!"
"In that case, tell me a solution!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "Or give me a reason not to kill you."
"I have no enmity with you, and moreover, if anything really happens, Master will surely send people, and even if you leave, the people of Niutian Village will be implicated!" Bai Yu quickly said. "As long as you spare me, I can help you cover it up!"
"How will you help me?" Lu Fan asked again. "If you can give a good reason, I might consider it!"
"Junior Brother Zhao and I were attacked by a demonic beast this time, and he died in the end!" Bai Yu said. "After all, such things are normal, and Master will not be suspicious. All the members of the Zhao family were silenced, so no one will go to complain!"
"You are very clever!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "This idea is not bad, you have successfully saved yourself!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Bai Yu quickly expressed his gratitude, having been thoroughly terrified. To be able to keep his life now was already a great fortune.
