"Your strength is indeed extraordinary, boy. I never imagined you could reach such a level!" the elder leading them said coldly. "But you don't think this will allow you to escape the Heavenly Water Pavilion, do you?"
"I never thought of that!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "And I've never feared the Heavenly Water Pavilion!"
"Very well. In that case, we shall see!" the leading elder said coldly, preparing to leave. They were no match for Lu Fan, and any attempt to force their way would likely be futile.
At this moment, only their Pavilion Master could suppress Lu Fan.
If Lu Fan hadn't killed an elder of the Heavenly Water Pavilion, none of them would have dared to act so rashly. After all, Lu Fan's strength was truly exceptional.
"You attacked me, and you think you can just leave like this?"
Lu Fan glanced at them and asked meaningfully, his gaze sweeping over the elders of the Heavenly Water Pavilion.
"What do you mean by that?"
The leading elder narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that you are displeased and intend to strike me down!"
"You guessed correctly. I am indeed displeased!"
Lu Fan sneered. "You want to leave? It won't be that easy!"
The elders of the Heavenly Water Pavilion burst into laughter. "You killed Elder Xuan Yue, and you won't let us go either? If that's the case, have you considered the consequences?"
"I never consider consequences. If others offend me, I will offend them!" Lu Fan said coldly. "If it weren't for that, Elder Xuan Yue wouldn't have died by my hand!"
The leading elder frowned slightly and looked at the other elders. "Pay him no mind. Hurry back to the Heavenly Water Pavilion and report this matter to the Pavilion Master!"
The elders of the Heavenly Water Pavilion nodded one after another and prepared to force their way out. However, they discovered that Lu Fan had activated his domain power. This domain power was accompanied by the fury of thunder, appearing exceptionally terrifying and causing their expressions to change.
"Are you truly going to attack us?"
Their faces turned ashen. The leading elder looked at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with immense anger. He had never expected Lu Fan to act this way, without any hesitation.
"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Lu Fan shrugged. "The Heavenly Water Pavilion doesn't intend to let me go, so why should I let you go?"
"We are elders of the Heavenly Water Pavilion. If we truly die here, do you think you'll still be alive?"
The leading elder sneered as he looked at Lu Fan, a chilling intent in his gaze.
At the same time, Lu Fan remained unfazed. He unleashed the full power of his thunderous domain. Since he had decided to deal with these people, he would not hold back. The arrogance of the Heavenly Water Pavilion elders warranted a good lesson, otherwise, how could he live up to their presence?
Boom...
A series of thunderous roars echoed, obscuring the sky. All escape routes for the elders were sealed off, making them appear quite disheveled. Clearly, they hadn't expected Lu Fan to actually intend to deal with them, and with such a lack of restraint.
"You will regret this. You will definitely regret your actions!"
With cold light in their eyes, the elders spoke, their dissatisfaction evident. In their view, Lu Fan's actions were akin to seeking death.
"Whether I regret it or not is no longer important. What's important is that you will all die here!"
Lu Fan chuckled coldly, his domain power growing even stronger. Since he had decided to act, he would not easily stop.
The elders of the Heavenly Water Pavilion felt the immense power of his domain, and their faces turned ashen. If this continued, their lives would be in peril, and their lifelong cultivation would be ruined.
Lu Fan's gaze was indifferent. Already displeased from his inability to find the Ghost Shadow, the arrival of these Heavenly Water Pavilion members meant he would certainly not show them any leniency.
However, at this very moment, Lu Fan could clearly sense that his aura had been locked onto. Furthermore, this aura was incredibly powerful, even instilling a sense of fear in him.
Sensing this aura, Lu Fan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to escape quickly but found himself already locked down. Even if he unleashed his most potent movement techniques, he wouldn't be able to break free from this lock.
"You dare to attack the elders of my Heavenly Water Pavilion? You will not escape today!"
A cold voice rang out. An elder appeared directly in front of Lu Fan, looking like an immortal, exuding an aura of righteousness.
"We pay our respects to the Pavilion Master!"
The elders quickly cupped their fists, joy evident in their eyes. They hadn't expected the Heavenly Water Pavilion Master to appear at this moment, and his timing was impeccable.
The Heavenly Water Pavilion Master said nothing more, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. "Young man, you have quite the audacity to kill my Heavenly Water Pavilion elders, and even with so many of my Pavilion's elders present, you still dare to act like this!"
"I have no enmity with the Heavenly Water Pavilion, yet Elder Xuan Yue of the Heavenly Water Pavilion sought to kill me. Should I not resist?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent as he asked coldly, his eyes sharp.
"In the face of true power, the weak can only obey or die!"
The Heavenly Water Pavilion Master sneered, his gaze locked onto Lu Fan, radiating an overwhelming aura. In his eyes, Lu Fan was already a corpse.
The elders of the Heavenly Water Pavilion also sneered. This outcome was exactly what they desired. With the Heavenly Water Pavilion Master present, dealing with Lu Fan would not be difficult.
Lu Fan's brow furrowed. With his aura locked down, he felt a sense of unease. If anything were to go slightly wrong, he might be annihilated. Lu Fan was acutely aware of this.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Huo Guang observed the scene with a faint smile. "The Heavenly Water Pavilion Master has not disappointed me. This brat is surely dead today. Without a peerless divine weapon, let's see how he can escape!"
The experts from the Huo family nodded in agreement, their smiles chilling. Lu Fan's demise was their deepest desire.
Under the Heavenly Water Pavilion Master's lock, Lu Fan could not move an inch. His face was somewhat ashen. He hadn't expected the Heavenly Water Pavilion Master's strength to be so formidable. Without the enhancement of a peerless divine weapon, he was no match for the Heavenly Water Pavilion Master.
"If you kneel and beg for mercy, boy, perhaps I can grant you a chance to live!"
The Heavenly Water Pavilion Master said coldly. "I will make you a slave of my Heavenly Water Pavilion. If you refuse, today will be your death day!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan burst into laughter. "You underestimate me too much. I am not someone who is easily deceived. Even if I have to fight to the death today, I will never compromise with you!"
"You have backbone. Truly, you have backbone!"
The Heavenly Water Pavilion Master laughed heartily. "In that case, I shall send you on your way and fulfill your wish!"
As soon as his words fell, the Heavenly Water Pavilion Master formed a hand seal, radiating immense power.
