"Hahaha... Since you have such skill, why not make a move directly!"
Jian Bei laughed heartily, his expression even more indifferent, as if in his eyes, he had never taken this threat seriously.
"Since you are so nonchalant, then I shall kill a few for you to see!"
As Dao Xuan finished speaking, a supreme divine might turned several assassins into ashes. He appeared incredibly powerful, as if in his eyes, the people of the Assassin Dynasty were not even considered human, treated like mere beasts to be slaughtered.
Lu Tiannan, witnessing this scene, was filled with anxiety but also helplessness. As the Grand Elder of the Xuan Guang Holy Land, he had to consider matters carefully. Unfortunately, in the presence of the Supreme Elder, he had no right to speak.
"What you have done today, the Assassin Dynasty will repay tenfold in the future!" Jian Bei sneered, "Just you wait! You will surely regret this!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Dao Xuan shook his head, "Things have already come to this, and you are still threatening me. I think you should worry about yourself!"
Jian Bei's face was ashen, but he said no more. He was now a defeated opponent and could only resign himself to fate. This was not something he could resolve.
However, according to the rules of the Assassin Dynasty, they would never let this matter rest. In the future, the Xuan Guang Holy Land would inevitably be plunged into endless conflict because of this.
"Since you all wish to die, I shall grant you your wish!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Dao Xuan channeled the Xuan Guang Sword, its power seemingly darkening the sky. A divine might instantly emanated from it, striking towards Jian Bei and the others. At this point, he would not show any mercy.
As for the retaliation from the Assassin Dynasty, Dao Xuan did not give it much thought. The Xuan Guang Holy Land was protected by a peerless divine weapon, and even the Assassin Dynasty would not dare to act rashly.
"The one you wish to kill is me, why trouble them!"
Just then, a voice echoed. Lu Fan strode forward, appearing utterly unconcerned.
"Haotian! This person is Haotian of the Assassin Dynasty!"
Many people exclaimed, their eyes showing a mix of emotion. They had not expected Lu Fan to walk into a trap. If he came, leaving would not be so easy.
"Why have you returned? I told you to leave!" Jian Bei's face was filled with accusation, and he was furious. He had tried his best to protect Lu Fan, but he never imagined Lu Fan would come.
"The helmsman has shown me immense kindness; how could I leave so easily?"
Lu Fan shook his head, "Let me resolve today's matter. It is my affair!"
Facing these words, Jian Bei shook his head, not wishing for Lu Fan to take such a risk. Unfortunately, at this point, Lu Fan might not be able to escape.
"I searched high and low and found you not, yet you appear when I least expect it. I thought you would have fled long ago, but you are so loyal and stayed behind!" Dao Xuan praised, "Truly impressive."
"Why say more? The four elders of the Xuan Guang Holy Land were killed by me. If you wish to deal with me, then try it!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, and his gaze fell upon Dao Xuan, his eyes showing a hint of emotion.
"You have quite the nerve, boy! Do you know what a grave crime it is to kill a sage of the Holy Land?"
With a cold look in his eyes, Dao Xuan spoke without reservation, staring directly at Lu Fan. Lu Fan's words just now were full of arrogance, completely disregarding the Holy Land.
"So what if I killed the elders of the Holy Land?"
Lu Fan shrugged, "If they hadn't attacked me first, why would I have attacked them!"
Following Lu Fan's words, Dao Xuan laughed instead of getting angry, "You killed them, yet you speak as if you are the victim. Do you truly think my Holy Land is so easily bullied?"
After speaking, Dao Xuan unleashed his supreme aura, and even the Xuan Guang Sword was fully awakened, as if intending to flatten Lion Peak.
"The one who killed the Holy Land elders is me, and they have nothing to do with it!" Lu Fan stated plainly, "Why trouble these innocent people."
"You also represent the Assassin Dynasty. Since I have made my move today, I will not leave any loose ends!" Dao Xuan's expression was cold. He was not only here for Lu Fan today, but also for Jian Bei.
"It seems I was overthinking. You have no intention of letting me or the helmsman go!" Lu Fan smiled, "The Xuan Guang Holy Land's arrival today, I presume, was well-prepared!"
"You speak very well!"
Dao Xuan nodded slightly, "Everything is as you say! Since I have chosen to act, I will never turn back!"
"Then have you considered the retaliation of the Assassin Dynasty?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"As long as you are completely crippled, the Assassin Dynasty will be nothing to fear."
Dao Xuan smiled faintly, further controlling the Xuan Guang Sword to its utmost.
Jian Bei was filled with helplessness. He was already severely injured, and in the face of the peerless divine weapon, he was of no use.
"We will live and die with the Dynasty!"
Ghost Shadow and Peony also arrived before Lu Fan, ready to jointly resist Dao Xuan. Although they knew they would be of no use against the peerless divine weapon, they would never cower and live.
"Since you have such camaraderie, how can I not fulfill your wishes!"
Dao Xuan suddenly laughed, the power of the Xuan Guang Sword growing stronger. With a single swing, not only would people perish, but the entire Lion Peak would likely be destroyed.
"You forced my hand. Since you want a fight to the death, then I won't hold back!"
Lu Fan smiled coldly, his body ascending into the air. It wasn't as if he didn't possess a peerless divine weapon.
Following Lu Fan's words, Dao Xuan was disdainful. Judging by Lu Fan's demeanor, he seemed intent on forcefully confronting the peerless divine weapon. If that were the case, it would surely be like a moth to a flame.
"Haotian, Haotian!"
Jian Bei repeatedly shouted, his heart filled with despair. This was the most talented assassin in their branch. If he were to grow, he would surely lead the Assassin Dynasty to its peak, but he never imagined it would come to this.
Ghost Shadow and Peony also showed helplessness. This was their final act of defiance; even if they had to fight to the death, they would not allow themselves to be insulted.
"I think he's gone mad! He actually wants to confront the might of the Xuan Guang Sword with his own strength!"
"Who says not! This Xuan Guang Sword is a peerless divine weapon. Even without it, Elder Dao Xuan could kill him with a single palm. He's simply overestimating himself."
A stream of conversations arose, the words spoken with seriousness. However, there was a hint of admiration for Lu Fan. Facing a peerless divine weapon, he remained so calm, even as if he didn't take it seriously at all.
And at this very moment, Lu Fan was brimming with confidence.
