"Even if you kill me, I cannot die!"
Lu Fan sneered, "After all, this is not my true body. You have the skill, why not go after my true body instead!"
"Even if this is not your true body, it is still your Dao body. Erasing this Dao body will surely cause you great harm!"
The Roc Patriarch sneered, "Even if I cannot capture your true body today, I will make your life worse than death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other Great Sages also attacked without any reservation. Since they had decided to act, there was no need to hold back.
Not long after, Lu Fan's Dao body was shattered. The Great Sages paid it no mind.
Meanwhile, in a certain region of the Central Continent, Lu Fan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face looking rather grim.
Although the technique of "Yi Qi Hua San Qing" possessed a powerful aura, the death of his Dao body would still be a significant catastrophe for his true body.
"Lu, are you alright?"
The Patriarch of the Tao family, residing within the spiritual artifact, spoke with concern. He had not expected Lu Fan to be so severely injured.
"I am fine!"
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "However, with my Dao body destroyed, they will surely be able to track my location by following my aura!"
"Then what should we do?"
The Patriarch of the Tao family frowned. He himself was also heavily injured. If the beast race sent powerful experts, they would be in grave danger.
"It's alright, the most dangerous place is often the safest place!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "They would never have imagined that I would not head to the Eastern Region, but instead go to the beast race territory!"
"The dense aura of the beast race can indeed help conceal your presence!"
The Patriarch of the Tao family nodded. "But be cautious in all matters, no carelessness is allowed!"
Lu Fan nodded and said no more. His figure transformed into a gust of wind, heading towards the beast race territory. Only by doing so could he evade the pursuit of the beast race Great Sages.
Near the Demon Subduing Pagoda, Hua Yu's expression turned ashen upon seeing the deceased Divine Turtle Great Sage. This was one of their beast race's Great Sages, and he had perished just like that. This was a significant blow to the beast race.
"I truly did not expect this brat's strength to be so formidable!" Chang Feng frowned and said, "If this continues, it will not be good for our beast race!"
"Mobilize all beast race forces and search every corner. We must find him!" Hua Yu commanded, his voice carrying a sharp edge. He had never expected things to turn out this way.
The beast race had a total of twelve Great Sages, and with the loss of one, this was not a good situation for them.
Following Hua Yu's order, numerous experts from the beast race were dispatched, sweeping across the Central Continent in search of Lu Fan's whereabouts.
At the same time, the Roc Patriarch shook his head and said, "This is not a solution. The brat's Dao body has been broken. As long as we follow this trace of his aura, we will naturally be able to find him."
"You mentioning it reminds me!" Hua Yu suddenly realized. He then held Lu Fan's true body in his palm, simultaneously scanning his surroundings. Unfortunately, he could not sense any aura in the vicinity of the Central Continent, which infuriated him to the point of exploding.
"Could that brat have returned to the Eastern Region?" the Roc Patriarch frowned. "Otherwise, why would it be like this!"
"It's probably not that simple. Moreover, to return to the Eastern Region from here, unless he can teleport, it's a journey of millions of kilometers. Even if he is a Great Sage, it would take some time to traverse!" Hua Yu stated directly. "He must still be in the Central Continent. As long as we search diligently, we will surely find him."
Following these words, the others nodded in agreement. With Hua Yu's assertion, it seemed sufficient. At least, in their opinion, Hua Yu would not make a mistake in his judgment.
Not long after, the entire Central Continent was swarming with beast race experts, constantly searching for Lu Fan's trace. However, with their current strength, they were utterly incapable of finding Lu Fan.
At this very moment, in a certain region of the beast race territory, Lu Fan remained hidden, daring not to reveal his aura. He was acutely aware that this was a critical juncture. If he exposed his presence, the beast race would not let him off, and it would undoubtedly stir up endless trouble.
Within a city on the border of the Eastern Region, Elder Wu Ming and others stood in silence, their hearts filled with worry. Many human race experts had already entered the Eastern Region, but they still had not seen any sign of Lu Fan.
"Did you see clearly? Was he being pursued? Or did something happen to him?" Ouyang Qingqing asked the several experts, her heart filled with anxiety. These individuals were all rescued by Lu Fan from the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
"He told us to go ahead first and he would cover our retreat. After that, we don't know!" the few of them quickly shook their heads, feeling helpless. The situation had reached this point, leaving them bewildered.
Ouyang Qingqing was filled with helplessness and worry. Unfortunately, the barrier was sealed, and Elder Wu Ming would not allow them to leave. She did not know what to do.
"He is the pride of the human race, nothing will happen to him!" Hu Xian'er stated, "So we don't need to worry too much. Everything is destined by fate!"
"It's easy for you to say. If he truly dies, it will be a huge blow to the human race!" Ouyang Qingqing said directly. "You understand this better than I do!"
"I am more anxious than you are, but what can be done!" Hu Xian'er said with a wry smile. "This is not what we wanted to see, but at this point, there is nothing we can do!"
"I thought you had some feelings for him before, but now it seems I misjudged you. You are indeed rather cold-hearted!" Ouyang Qingqing shrugged, her words becoming more indifferent.
Facing these words, Hu Xian'er smiled, her gaze becoming even more distant, as if all of this meant nothing to her, or perhaps, in her heart, she did not believe that Lu Fan had truly met with misfortune.
"Stop arguing. We are all for the human race, so why are we like this!" The young master of the Tao family spoke up. "I do have a way for us to leave the Eastern Region, but even if we leave, going to the Central Continent would be of no use, and might even bring about the danger of death!"
"Then what do we do now? Just wait here like this!" Ouyang Qingqing frowned, feeling rather displeased.
"The only way now is to wait here!" Hu Yu stated directly. "If we go out, we will only cause trouble for the human race. Moreover, I believe in Lu Fan, nothing will happen to him!"
Ouyang Qingqing said nothing and turned to leave, appearing to be somewhat angry.
Hu Xian'er stood there, feeling a sense of helplessness. The situation had reached this point, and it was naturally not what she wished for.
