Boom…
With a deafening roar, the members of the Dragon Group were sent flying backward. Even Long Aotian couldn't maintain his footing, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Although he was at the peak of the War Spirit realm, he still couldn't withstand the formidable aura and could barely resist it.
Seeing the Dragon Group disintegrate, Lu Fan's face instantly turned grim. It was only now that he realized Elder Shangguan had not displayed his true strength when fighting him earlier.
"To be called a king, how can you ants dare to shake me?"
Elder Shangguan laughed heartily, "A mere War Spirit, how dare you act presumptuously before this venerable one!"
Seeing the Dragon Group severely injured, Lu Fan could do nothing but forcefully attack Elder Shangguan. He now could only hope that this matter would reach the Dragon Country headquarters and that the elders would come. Otherwise, a great disaster would surely befall them today.
"Hmph!"
Elder Shangguan snorted coldly and unleashed a palm strike. Lu Fan's arm went numb, and he was forced to retreat backward, blood once again trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"With you all, how can you stop me!"
Elder Shangguan's aura was imposing as he walked step by step towards Lu Fan. He had been in the Dragon Country for some time, and with Lu Fan right before him, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip away easily.
"Protect Master Lu!"
Long Aotian shouted. Lu Fan carried the Elder's Token, representing the Dragon Country, and no mistake could be made. If he were to die at Shangguan's hands, it would be a dereliction of duty for their Dragon Country.
The members of the Dragon Group stepped forward one after another, attempting to block Elder Shangguan. Unfortunately, in the face of such immense power, these individuals were insignificant and were instantly repelled by Elder Shangguan.
Lu Fan, also severely wounded, stared intently at Elder Shangguan with great unwillingness. He still had many things to accomplish and was unwilling to depart like this.
With this thought, Lu Fan suddenly stood up, his internal energy surging. He looked up at Elder Shangguan again, "Even if I have to die today, I will make you pay the price!"
Elder Shangguan paid him no mind. A whistling sound attacked Lu Fan, directly targeting his vital points.
But at that very moment, the meteorite on Lu Fan's person suddenly erupted with light. Not only did it neutralize the attack, but it also unblocked Lu Fan's meridians, causing him a moment of shock. Sudan Novel Network
After the meteorite's light, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been unblocked, being impacted by some power that instantly gave him formidable strength.
At this very moment, he even felt confident that he would not lose to Elder Shangguan.
"Could I have broken through again?"
Lu Fan muttered in disbelief.
Many people present turned their gaze towards Lu Fan, the light emanating from the meteorite piquing their curiosity.
"How is this possible!"
Elder Shangguan frowned. He had unleashed a killing blow just now, and unless it was someone of his own caliber, they could not possibly have neutralized it. What he never expected was that a mere ordinary meteorite could nullify his powerful strike.
Lu Fan retrieved the meteorite and then looked at Elder Shangguan, "You old scoundrel, you've trespassed into the Dragon Country, which is an invasion of another's territory. I will teach you how to behave!"
"Just you?" Elder Shangguan sneered disdainfully.
Long Aotian stood stunned to the side, sensing something amiss.
"What is going on?" Han Bing asked in surprise. "Master Lu's aura seems different from before."
"It is indeed different, much stronger than before," Jian Ying said, bewildered. "Could it be that meteorite from earlier?"
"This is too exaggerated!" Bei Dou exclaimed in surprise. "To instantly increase combat power, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would believe it."
As they conversed, Lu Fan had closed the distance and was now fighting Elder Shangguan without being at a disadvantage, causing Elder Shangguan's face to turn ashen.
He, the dignified elder of the Sea Country, was pushed into such a predicament by Lu Fan, how could he not be enraged.
What was even more bizarre was that Lu Fan's combat power had increased instantly, something even he had never encountered. And through their exchanges, although Elder Shangguan would not be defeated, he could not suppress Lu Fan either, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
If this continued, the other elders of the Dragon Country would arrive, and coupled with Lu Fan's strangeness, he might indeed be trapped in the Dragon Country today.
With this thought, Elder Shangguan lost the will to fight. He pushed Lu Fan away with a palm strike and fled towards the distant sky, "If the opportunity arises again, I will definitely return."
"Do you think you can escape!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and pursued him directly. Although he could not defeat Elder Shangguan, restraining him was not a major problem.
When the other elders of the Dragon Country arrived, Elder Shangguan would likely have no way to escape.
After all, this was the Dragon Country, and it would not tolerate anyone acting outrageously, let alone a strong individual from the Sea Country.
One chased and one fled, and the onlookers also wanted to go and witness the battle, but they found that their speed was utterly insufficient.
The members of the Dragon Group sat cross-legged, constantly healing. Being injured by such a powerful individual was no small matter.
The Lord of Jiangnan City arrived late and, seeing such a sorry state, quickly asked, "Why have so many experts from the Dragon Group suffered such severe injuries?"
"Lord of Jiangnan City, your intelligence is flawed," Han Bing frowned. "The one who came to the heartland of the Dragon Country was not some expert from the Sea Country, but an elder from the Sea Country!"
"An elder from the Sea Country?" The Lord of Jiangnan City trembled violently. "How is this possible! An elder of the Sea Country carries the destiny of the Sea Country; how dare he infiltrate the Dragon Country!"
"He probably already knew that the three elders were in seclusion," Long Aotian said coldly. "If not, how would he dare to act so presumptuously."
The Lord of Jiangnan City nodded repeatedly but then asked, "Is Master Lu alright?"
"Don't worry, Master Lu is very safe," Jian Ying shrugged. "He is currently chasing down the Sea Country elder."
"Chasing down the Sea Country elder?" The Lord of Jiangnan City was stunned. "Master Lu is… mad? Chasing down the Sea Country elder?"
The others exchanged glances, revealing helpless expressions. They had seen powerful individuals before, but they had never seen anyone so powerful.
After a series of battles, Elder Shangguan arrived at a mountain range. Once he passed this mountain range, he would reach the border of the Dragon Country, and by then, he would be able to leave the Dragon Country.
At this very moment, within the Dragon Country, many individuals from the three hidden sects turned their gaze towards Jiangnan, showing considerable surprise.
Elder Shangguan, with his formidable strength and carrying the destiny of the Sea Country, was being chased and beaten by Lu Fan. This was simply a fantasy.
Experts from the three hidden sects all emerged, observing the situation.
Individuals who reached Elder Shangguan's level had already embarked on the path to the peak. To be beaten so savagely now was something that no one could help but be astonished by.
"I say, old man, you came to kill me, and now it's one-on-one, what are you afraid of!" Lu Fan taunted.
"This is within the Dragon Country. If it were in the outer battlefield, would I be afraid of you!"
Elder Shangguan said coldly and then unleashed his Dark Arts, attempting to evade Lu Fan.
He could clearly feel that experts from the Dragon Country headquarters were mobilizing. If he didn't leave quickly, he might truly be buried here today.
