Facing Chen Yulan's words, Lu Fan remained indifferent, appearing confident and without excessive worry.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xue frowned, "Can't you see? He's deliberately picking a fight. Why did you agree? This way, even my Zhao family can't openly protect you!"
"If the Ouyang family makes a move, even if the Zhao family wants to help, it won't be that simple," Lu Fan offered a wry smile. "So I want to see what kind of person this Madam Ouyang is!"
"He is a Great Saint peak level expert. Although he hasn't reached the Emperor level, his strength is still extremely formidable. If you decide to fight him, you might be seeking death," Zhao Xue shook her head. "Tonight, I'll find a way for you to leave. After you leave Tianhai City, don't come back. That way, even if the Chen family wants to cause trouble for you, they won't have the chance."
"Since I've already accepted the challenge, I won't run away!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to worry too much. Besides, the fact that I accepted the challenge is enough to show that I have confidence!"
"Confidence?"
Zhao Xue rolled her eyes. "I know you're also a Great Saint, but the gap is too big. After all, he's a peak level expert. It's not an easy matter to fight him."
"I know all of this," Lu Fan nodded, smiling as if he didn't take it too seriously.
Zhao Xue was quite helpless. She wanted to say more, but ultimately she kept silent. She knew very well that this matter was of great importance. Once it escalated, even their Zhao family might not be able to do much.
Chen Yulan returned to the Ouyang family with Chen Jianbei, a faint smile on her lips. She had initially worried that Lu Fan wouldn't accept the challenge, making it difficult for her to act against him. But now, it seemed she had overthought it.
"Aunt, you must also be careful in the decisive battle three days from now!" Chen Jianbei reminded her. "That kid doesn't seem like an ordinary person. If there's any slight mistake, it might cause endless trouble!"
"Don't worry. He's just a naive brat. It's a simple matter for your aunt to deal with him," Chen Yulan waved her hand, appearing even more composed, as if all of this was insignificant in her eyes.
Facing these words, Chen Jianbei couldn't say much more. He had quite a bit of respect for Chen Yulan's strength, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so direct.
At the same time, news spread throughout Tianhai City, with people offering various opinions on this upcoming battle.
However, they greatly admired Lu Fan. As an outsider, he dared to accept Chen Yulan's challenge. She was Madam Ouyang, a Great Saint peak level expert, arguably one of the top five experts in Tianhai City.
In all of Tianhai City, no one dared to offend Madam Ouyang, as she was the consort of a Half-Emperor.
Zhao Xue was very worried about the outside opinions. She also knew that Chen Yulan was so strong, and Lu Fan challenging her head-on would likely lead to trouble.
"Little girl, are you perhaps worried about him?"
Old Master Zhao walked over. "With his strength, he's no match for Chen Yulan. This kid is bound to die!"
"Grandfather, you are a Half-Emperor. Please think of a way, how can we salvage this!" Chen Yulan said urgently.
"This kind of matter isn't something you can just decide!"
Old Master Zhao shook his head. "It involves the Ouyang family. Although the Zhao family doesn't fear the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family also has a Half-Emperor. It's not good to go against them!"
"But if you say that, then there's no hope?" Zhao Xue frowned. "He is my savior."
"Savior? I think it's more than just that!" Old Master Zhao sneered. "You must have taken a liking to this kid, that's why you're scheming so hard. But I'm telling you, I won't agree!"
"Grandfather, don't talk nonsense. I just think he's a good person, and he's also my savior!" Zhao Xue said repeatedly. "Otherwise, why would I be like this!"
"Fine, fine. If you want to save his life, then let him leave Tianhai City!" Old Master Zhao stated directly. "Otherwise, whether he wins or loses, he won't be able to live!"
"Why?" Zhao Xue looked puzzled.
"If he wins, it will be an embarrassment to the Ouyang family. How could the Half-Emperor of the Ouyang family let him go so easily!" Old Master Zhao stated directly. "If he loses, Chen Yulan won't let him live either!"
Zhao Xue stood there, somewhat at a loss, frowning at his words.
"Don't overthink it. If you can get him to leave Tianhai City, this kid might still have a sliver of hope. Otherwise, death awaits him!" Old Master Zhao stated directly.
With these words, Zhao Xue had nothing more to say, only growing more worried in her heart.
Three days later, in Tianhai City, everyone gathered below the arena, wanting to witness this great battle. After all, it was a battle between Great Saint level experts, a scale of combat they had never seen before.
Around the arena, a powerful protective barrier was in place, intended to prevent the internal energy from leaking out. The aura of a Great Saint was extraordinary.
Chen Yulan was already on the stage, silently waiting for everything to unfold. She wanted to avenge her elder brother by defeating Lu Fan, only then could she find peace.
However, after a long time, Lu Fan's figure still hadn't appeared, making people curious if Lu Fan was fearful and had fled.
But this was normal. The person in front of them was Madam Ouyang, not only a peak Great Saint level expert but also the wife of a Half-Emperor. Who could not be intimidated by such a terrifying existence?
"That kid didn't really run, did he!"
Several men from the Chen family spoke, their hearts filled with worry. They had discussed for a long time how to deal with Lu Fan. Now that it had come to this, if Lu Fan truly left Tianhai City, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
Chen Yulan stood on the stage, her brow furrowed slightly. If Lu Fan had indeed left Tianhai City, she would not let him off easily. She would have to intercept and kill Lu Fan to appease the many souls of her Chen family.
Just as everyone was in doubt, Lu Fan, accompanied by Zhao Xue, arrived near the arena, appearing quite calm.
"I thought you were scared. It seems that's not the case now!" Chen Yulan sneered, her gaze fixed on Lu Fan, with a look of satisfaction.
As long as Lu Fan hadn't run, it would be easy for her to deal with him.
Lu Fan smiled, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised."
