"I suggest you two stop exchanging pleasantries," Patriarch Qin said coldly. "The remnants of the Lu family are all here. Today, we shall capture you all!"
As soon as his words fell, many experts from the Qin family converged, with more forces joining in. These individuals, eager to curry favor with the Qin family, naturally wouldn't stand by idly.
"The blood feud of clan annihilation is irreconcilable. Today, even if I have to risk my life, I will make you pay the price."
Uncle Fu spoke with a cold demeanor, radiating immense power. He had endured hardships for this day, and now that the opportunity had arrived, he would not miss it.
"My Qin family alone has a dozen half-Grandmasters!" Old Master Qin stated icily. "How can you possibly contend? Moreover, members of the other four hidden families are also present!"
"And so what?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. He simultaneously looked at Uncle Fu and said, "Today, I alone am sufficient. Uncle Fu, you and the others stand down!"
Everyone present was quite surprised. Facing the imposing presence of the Qin family, Lu Fan remained calm and composed, showcasing his confidence.
"Young Master, this matter is not to be trifled with," Uncle Fu frowned. "We, by your side, can also help alleviate some pressure for you."
Uncle Fu was aware of Lu Fan's capabilities, but the Qin family had an abundance of experts, and dealing with them would not be easy.
"Everything is according to my plan!" Lu Fan's expression was placid. "No one present can harm me!"
Lu Fan's declaration further astonished those present, who wondered where he derived such confidence. Everyone knew the Qin family's strength.
"I never expected he would be the young master of the Lu family from back then."
In a corner of the crowd, Yang Ding Tian exclaimed, "Eighteen years ago in Jiangnan, the Lu family was the foremost power, quite glorious. It's a shame they were plotted against by the other major families, leading to their ruin."
"According to this, doesn't that make him of noble status as well?" Yang Jia Qi frowned. "However, no matter his status, it's unlikely he can leave today."
"That is a given!" Yang Ding Tian nodded. "The Qin family is not a place you can simply come and go as you please. One of the five hidden families of Jiangnan, how could they be an ordinary force?"
Yang Jia Qi nodded inwardly, but her heart was subtly stirred. For some reason, she now hoped that Lu Fan would not meet with misfortune.
At this moment, the Patriarch of the Qin family looked towards the Qin family's numerous experts. "Are you still not acting? What are you waiting for?"
The Qin family members did not hesitate. They leaped from eaves and walls, heading towards Lu Fan. The wind they stirred was sharp and fierce.
The onlookers retreated, their eyes filled with astonishment. The sheer number of martial arts experts from the Qin family was unexpected.
Not only that, but in addition to the Qin family, other martial artists were also involved. These individuals had come to attend the birthday celebration.
The reason they were taking action was clear: they wished to align themselves with the Qin family. This was an excellent opportunity. While the Qin family was not a martial arts lineage, they possessed immense wealth. If they could secure the Qin family's favor, the benefits would be substantial.
Normally, it was difficult for them to get close to the Qin family. Now that they had a chance to join the Qin family's ranks, why would they let it slip away easily?
Gazing at the figures before him, Lu Fan's expression remained cold. He stomped his foot forcefully on the ground, and an invisible surge of energy emanated, causing the branches of nearby trees to sway erratically.
Dozens of leaves were suddenly blown away, carrying with them a potent internal energy, like arrows loosed from a bow, hurtling towards the multitude of experts.
With the deep-seated hatred for the annihilation of his clan, Lu Fan showed no restraint in his actions today.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Clear whistling sounds filled the air. Before many of the martial arts experts could even approach Lu Fan, they felt a terrifying killing intent and hurriedly retreated, their eyes filled with fear.
With just a stomp on the ground, he unleashed such power. Could he be an ordinary person?
Puff!
Puff, puff!
Puff, puff, puff!
Sounds of impact echoed, and many martial arts experts coughed up blood, their hearts filled with dread.
"Projecting internal energy outward and manipulating objects simultaneously! A Martial Dao Grandmaster!"
Shocked voices arose. The martial artists were filled with disbelief.
If it were merely a Grandmaster, perhaps with the combined might of numerous peak martial artists, they might have been able to defeat Lu Fan.
However, the techniques Lu Fan displayed were those of a Martial Dao Grandmaster, even more terrifying than a Grandmaster. He possessed unparalleled abilities, not something that could be overcome simply by numbers.
"A Martial Dao Grandmaster! The Young Master is actually a Martial Dao Grandmaster!"
Uncle Fu was filled with excitement. He had been extremely worried, but Lu Fan's display filled him with joy.
The ability to pluck leaves and inflict harm was something that, even within the entire martial world, could be counted on fewer than five fingers. Furthermore, the path of a Martial Dao Grandmaster had long been considered lost. Throughout history, such practitioners had vanished.
Yang Jia Qi and Yang Ding Tian were inwardly shocked. They had never imagined that Lu Fan could kill so many martial experts in such a short time. How powerful was this ability?
"Is this the power of the Martial Dao?" Bai Xue stood tall, her heart utterly shaken.
She had never witnessed such potent martial power before. Bai Tian Chen, standing beside her, was also startled.
In his eyes, Lu Fan was merely a divine doctor. But the techniques he displayed today were far beyond ordinary, almost unbelievable.
"A Martial Dao Grandmaster? How is this possible? How can this be!"
His eyes wide with horror, Patriarch Qin's body trembled. He even continuously retreated backward. Although he had not entered the martial path himself, he knew the caliber of a Martial Dao Grandmaster. They were simply beyond his ability to contend with.
"With such strength, it's no wonder the Young Master dared to challenge us," Elder Zhao remarked. "It turns out all these years of planning were in vain. With just the Young Master alone, he can control destiny and make the Qin family submit!"
"Indeed, with just the Young Master alone!" Uncle Fu agreed, his eyes filled with delight. "The Lu family has finally produced a dragon. The Patriarch can rest in peace!"
