"Since things have come to this, why bother with so many pointless words."
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "It's better to just make a move. I'd like to see if your Chen family and the Li family combined can kill me!"
"You kid are too arrogant. What are you? Worthy of my two great families making a move?" Chen Jianbei said coldly. "You really think highly of yourself!"
Lu Fan, however, smiled faintly. "I may be nothing, but one day I will make your Chen family pay the price!"
Lu Fan's figure shot up into the sky, wanting to force his way out of the city. He knew very well that as long as he left, the two great families would not easily harm Ling'er.
"Trying to leave? Let's see where you go!" The Chen family head's voice was icy, and he simultaneously reached out to grab Lu Fan, emanating a powerful aura.
At the same time, the Li family head attacked the Zhao family head. Only by doing so could he play his part. Once Lu Fan was dealt with, the entire Xuandi City would become his personal property, which was naturally a great joy for him.
Ling'er's eyes were filled with worry. Lu Fan's directness might cause endless trouble, and he might even lose his life on the spot.
"What should we do!"
His face instantly turned ashen. Lei Batian spoke, "What should we do? If this continues, even with us, we may not be able to defend the Xuandi Mansion!"
"No matter when, do not panic!" Steward Wu said. "Even at this moment, you should be even calmer. Only then can you handle matters!"
Lei Batian nodded slightly, but his heart was filled with worry. Things had reached this point, and it touched him. To protect Ling'er's safety, they were prepared to go all out.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan was charging at the formation but was instantly repelled. This formation was extremely strange and naturally not something Lu Fan could easily deal with. At the same time, the Chen family head laughed heartily, "Since I have already set up this formation here, I never thought you could leave. You kid are probably trapped today!"
"I really didn't expect you to be so meticulous in dealing with me!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "However, I don't know if you can completely suppress me!"
"Your courage is immense, so immense that it surprises me!"
The Chen family head said coldly, "Dealing with you is as easy as snapping your fingers. It was my carelessness that you escaped before, but now it's different!"
"I don't think there's much difference!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze even more indifferent, as if in his eyes, all of this was ordinary.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The Chen family head snorted coldly and directly lunged at Lu Fan, his attack appearing incredibly fierce, accompanied by a gust of wind wherever it passed.
Facing this ferocious attack, Lu Fan quickly dodged. However, before a Half-Emperor, he was still too weak and had no power to resist.
Boom...
With a roar, Lu Fan was slammed heavily against the city wall, his body sinking deeply into it. He had never expected the Chen family head to be so powerful, far beyond his reach.
"Lu Fan!"
Ling'er cried out, her heart filled with anxiety. She never expected things to turn out this way, catching her completely off guard.
"Today, I will make you die!"
The Chen family head's voice was cold, and he stepped forward again, exuding a powerful aura. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Lu Fan again, intending to kill him completely.
At the same time, Ling'er stepped in front of Lu Fan. "If you want to kill him, then kill me first. I'd like to see if you have the guts!"
"Miss Ling'er, don't force me!" The Chen family head's voice was icy, his gaze fixed on Ling'er, carrying a killing intent.
"If you have the ability, then make your move. Why are you dawdling here!"
Ling'er did not flinch, her eyes serious. It seemed that in her eyes, all of this was insignificant, or perhaps she believed that the Chen family head would not dare to act rashly.
"Since you are seeking death, then you can't blame me!" The Chen family head did not hesitate, and a surge of spiritual energy erupted from his hand, directly striking towards Ling'er. With Emperor Xuandi no longer present, dealing with Ling'er was as easy as lifting a finger.
With the entire Xuandi City about to change hands, Ling'er's life and death were of no importance to him, and he would not care.
Sensing that powerful aura, Ling'er's eyes were filled with disbelief. She never expected the Chen family head to attack her, and so brazenly, clearly not intending to stop.
"Miss!" Steward Wu and the others shouted, their hearts filled with extreme anxiety. They never expected things to turn out this way, completely beyond their control.
"Protect the young lady, we must not let anything happen to her!" Steward Wu's voice rang out, and the many guards of the City Lord's Mansion also stepped forward, not daring to be negligent. They knew very well that if Ling'er truly died prematurely, it would be their dereliction of duty, a disgrace to them.
As guards of the City Lord's Mansion, if they couldn't even protect their own master, what right would they have to protect others.
It was a pity that before these guards could get close, they were sent flying by a palm from the Chen family head, appearing to have no power to resist. "Do you mere trash dare to block my way!"
The Chen family head strode towards Ling'er. He hadn't intended to kill Ling'er, but since she was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to protect Lu Fan, he would not tolerate such a thing.
At that very moment, the Chen family head's fist struck out fiercely, blasting towards Ling'er without any reservation. In the blink of an eye, this aura surged. Before anyone could react, Ling'er's figure disappeared from her original position. When everyone looked again, they discovered another figure of Lu Fan, carrying Ling'er to an open space, seemingly having dodged this calamity once more.
"How is this possible!"
Chen Jianbei saw the scene before him, his eyes filled with panic. He had clearly seen Lu Fan being smashed into the skeletal remains within the city wall just moments ago. How could there be another figure now, and it seemed he was not injured.
"Yi Qi Hua San Qing!"
The Chen family head frowned. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to do such a thing under his nose, and he found it unacceptable.
"You are correct, it is indeed Yi Qi Hua San Qing!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression quite meaningful, as if in his eyes, all of this was insignificant.
"You kid have quite the nerve!" The Chen family head said coldly.
