Qing Die and Bai Die stood stunned, their faces etched with embarrassment. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to boast even when facing imminent death, leaving them speechless and unsure how to respond.
Seeing their disbelief, Lu Fan saw no point in further explanation. With a single palm strike, he sent the charging Saint Beast flying backward.
Witnessing this, Qing Die and Bai Die remained frozen, gazing at Lu Fan with disbelief and even horror. This was a true Saint Beast, and Lu Fan had so casually dispatched it with a single blow.
The other two Saint Beasts rushed forward to help their comrade. However, as they caught him, they discovered he was already on the brink of death.
"You... you human, how dare you slaughter our Bamboo Saint Beast!"
Their eyes glinted with coldness as the remaining two Saint Beasts spoke in hushed tones, their immense auras surging with fury. Saint Beasts were vital to their kind, and their sudden demise was something they could not accept.
"He's dead?"
Qing Die stood dumbfounded, her heart filled with shock. She hadn't anticipated events unfolding so bizarrely, catching them completely off guard.
If it were an ordinary matter, it would be one thing, but this was a Saint Beast, killed so casually by Lu Fan. It was utterly preposterous.
"Let's attack him together and send this brat to his grave!"
The other two Saint Beasts declared coldly, their gazes sharp. The situation had escalated to this point, and they would not retreat.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan shrugged, "I advise you to be sensible. If you insist on fighting, you'll be the ones to suffer. You should be able to sense that my strength surpasses yours. If I truly intended to deal with you, it would be as easy as flipping my hand."
"Such arrogance!"
The two Saint Beasts scoffed, "Since you're so powerful, show us if you truly possess such ability! Kill us both simultaneously!"
"Truly seeking death. I had intended to spare you, but it seems that was a mistake!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression calm. He hadn't harbored any killing intent initially, but it appeared that without demonstrating some power, these individuals would not take him seriously.
The two figures charged at Lu Fan. With a single lift of his foot, he sent them both flying back, crashing hard against the stone wall.
Qing Die and Bai Die stood by, realizing they had vastly underestimated Lu Fan's strength. Their shock was profound, making them question if they were dreaming.
After a long pause, seeing that the two Saint Beasts had not risen, Qing Die finally spoke, "Are they dead?"
"Dead?"
Lu Fan shrugged, "Perhaps!"
"Are they really dead?"
Bai Die blinked in surprise, her heart filled with a chilling realization. If this were true, it was truly terrifying to contemplate the level of Lu Fan's power, to so easily defeat and dismiss Saint Beasts without concern.
"What are you two still waiting for? Let's go!" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "If we linger here, more powerful experts from the Beast Tribe might arrive soon, and we'll have to fight again."
Qing Die and Bai Die snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, not daring to delay. They knew very well that they had narrowly escaped death. Without Lu Fan, they would have certainly perished.
At the same time, within a certain city, Hua Yu and Chang Feng were engaged in discussion when a panicked Beast Tribe member ran up. "Reporting to the Chieftain, traces of humans have been discovered in the Yan Nan Mountain area. One of them possesses immense strength and has already killed three Saint Beasts!"
"Killed Saint Beasts?" Hua Yu shot to his feet. "Under normal circumstances, this shouldn't happen! The human experts have all left the Central Continent, and the rest have been eliminated. For the past year, only humans with weak cultivation have been hiding in the Central Continent. How can there be such a powerful individual?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but based on the situation, it is indeed a human expert, and the Beast Tribe has already lost three powerful individuals!" The man's expression was grave, and he dared not conceal anything.
"Elder Lei Feng, you go personally!" Hua Yu looked towards an elder. "Ensure that person is eliminated. Within the Central Continent, no human experts are permitted!"
"Chieftain, rest assured, I will slay him!" Elder Lei Feng nodded slightly, his gaze sharpening. The situation had reached this point, and he would show no hesitation. Daring to kill Saint Beasts was a provocation to the Beast Tribe's authority, and he would not let such an act go unpunished.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan, leading Qing Die and the others, did not take a detour. They headed directly towards the Eastern Region. Even when intercepted by numerous Beast Tribe experts along the way, Lu Fan dealt with them all, appearing utterly unconcerned.
Qing Die exclaimed repeatedly, her heart filled with trepidation. Traveling with such a powerful individual was truly awe-inspiring.
"There's a ruin ahead. Let's rest there for a while!" Lu Fan glanced forward and spoke. This ruin was once a city, but little remained after the war between the two tribes.
Qing Die and Bai Die exchanged glances and nodded slightly. Since Lu Fan had spoken, they naturally wouldn't refuse.
Upon entering the city, they found a room and settled down to rest, appearing weary. They had been traveling for days, constantly pursued, and were utterly exhausted.
More importantly, this matter was of great consequence, and any carelessness could lead to unforeseen disaster.
"You two rest well. I'll keep watch around. If any Beast Tribe members approach, I'll notify you in advance!" Lu Fan stated.
Bai Die shook her head in response. "You've exerted yourself greatly today. You should be the one resting. I'll stand guard."
"With your spiritual energy, you likely wouldn't even sense a powerful Beast Tribe member approaching!" Lu Fan shook his head, his words devoid of any pretense.
At his words, Bai Die's face flushed with embarrassment. Lu Fan was right; with so many powerful Beast Tribe members, they were beyond her ability to handle.
"Alright, you two go and rest!"
Lu Fan spoke again, his gaze growing indifferent. The situation had reached this point, and there was no need for further discussion.
At Lu Fan's words, Qing Die and Bai Die could only comply with a sense of helplessness. They knew that only Lu Fan could handle this task, and their hearts ached for him.
