The Jiang family head's face was ashen. He was immensely renowned in Zhongzhou, and being reduced to such a state filled him with shame.
In the blink of an eye, the Jiang family head stamped his foot and fled towards a large building.
However, Lu Fan, like a war god, charged directly into the building, attacking the Jiang family head.
Even the entire building began to shake. The Jiang family head narrowly dodged Lu Fan and fled for his life.
His only objective now was to distance himself from Lu Fan, because Lu Fan was too terrifying, someone he could not afford to provoke.
In the Jiang family courtyard, all members of the Jiang family had been killed. Although the Jiang family had deep foundations and many experts, apart from the head of the Jiang family, there were no other grandmasters. However, both Gu Wen and the Han family head were genuine grandmasters, far beyond their ability to contend with.
Bei Dou looked at the horrific scene before him, feeling some self-reproach. If he hadn't been so careless, he wouldn't have had his acupuncture points sealed by Lu Fan.
"Where did master and the others go?" Gu Wen asked.
"Lord Lu's strength is formidable; dealing with the Jiang family head will be no problem!" the Han family head stated. "Many Qingyun Sect disciples are injured. Let's escort them to safety first!"
Gu Wen nodded in agreement. "My Gu family has excellent medicinal herbs, and I happen to be skilled in medicine!"
The Zhao family head and the Han family head nodded slightly. With Gu Wen personally offering, it was difficult for them to refuse, especially given the critical situation.
"Qiushui, you take the Qingyun Sect members to the Gu family for treatment. I'll go investigate!"
After the Han family head spoke, he strode out of the Jiang family. The Zhao family head did not hesitate either.
They were both grandmaster experts, and if Lu Fan needed them, they certainly wouldn't slack off.
Shortly after they left, Han Bing and Jian Ying arrived late. They looked at the annihilated Jiang family with no surprise.
"Why are you only arriving now?" Bei Dou's face turned grim. "This doesn't seem like your usual speed!"
"We were delayed on the way!" Han Bing said with an embarrassed smile. "What happened? Why were your acupuncture points sealed?"
"Someone forcibly sealed them!" Bei Dou frowned. "Quickly help me unseal them!"
"A dignified member of the Dragon Group, the pride of the younger generation in Dragon Country, actually had his acupuncture points sealed," Jian Ying quipped. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly wouldn't have believed it!"
"Lord Lu of Jiangnan's strength is no less than ours!" Bei Dou stated directly. "The Jiang family has been destroyed, and we bear the responsibility for failing to protect them. Why are you still so calm?"
"It's not that we're calm, it's that we can't do anything!" Jian Ying shrugged. "That fellow's strength is incredibly strange; it's not guaranteed we can suppress him!"
"Are we just going to let him run amok like this?" Bei Dou's expression changed. "What will happen if the captain finds out?"
"The boss is not in Zhongzhou; he's gone to handle something!" Han Bing smiled. "As long as we don't mention what happened tonight, he won't know!"
"You've already decided then!" Bei Dou gave them a look. "Deceiving the boss, if it's found out, the sin will be immense!"
"If you don't say it, and I don't say it, how will the boss ever know!" Jian Ying said softly. "Besides, if it really comes to a fight, we can't win either!"
Bei Dou stomped his foot in anger. The dignified Sword Shadow of the Dragon Group, admitting defeat before even fighting, if this were to spread, what would happen to the reputation of the Dragon Group.
"Most importantly, the boss even wants him to become the deputy captain of the Dragon Group. If that really happens, we'll be under his command!" Han Bing said helplessly.
"Deputy captain of the Dragon Group?" Bei Dou looked astonished and somewhat disbelieving.
"There's no other meaning to all this talk; let this person do what he needs to do," Jian Ying said seriously. "We shouldn't get involved."
"So you guys came so late because you already knew about this!" Bei Dou glanced at them. "And you kept me in the dark?"
"What are you saying, members of the Dragon Group are a family; how could we keep you in the dark!" Han Bing smiled. "Lord Lu wants to deal with the Jiang family, and if the Dragon Group doesn't intervene, it wouldn't seem right!"
Bei Dou's heart chilled. It seemed he had become cannon fodder.
On the streets of Zhongzhou, the Jiang family head fled madly, his heart filled with despair. Even though he was a grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation, before a true master, he was like a dying dog.
Lu Fan leisurely pursued him, somewhat enjoying the sensation.
Arriving at the lakeside in Zhongzhou, the Jiang family head stopped, panting heavily, seemingly having no strength left to run.
"It seems you are truly old!" Lu Fan smiled. "Since that is the case, accept your death!"
On both sides of the Zhongzhou lakeside, quite a crowd had gathered. These were all martial arts experts. They thought the martial arts tournament would be the most exciting event, but what they witnessed today was likely more shocking than the tournament.
"Sir, please show mercy!"
Just then, a voice called out. A middle-aged man stepped forward, accompanied by several figures.
These figures were extraordinary, and they exuded an aura of righteousness.
"City Lord Yang, save me!" The Jiang family head shouted repeatedly. "He disregarded Dragon Country's rules and killed my Jiang family experts; he cannot be let off easily!"
Yang Xing Tian frowned. He was the City Lord of Zhongzhou and a grandmaster at the peak of his cultivation, responsible for guarding the area, which was under his jurisdiction.
"Your strength is immense, but this is Zhongzhou after all! Such conduct is not appropriate!" Yang Xing Tian stated directly. "As the City Lord of Zhongzhou, I will not allow you to act recklessly!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Is the Dragon Group greater, or is the City Lord greater?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"The Dragon Group?" Yang Xing Tian frowned. "That is the core organization of Dragon Country. In any capital city, they have the authority to execute first and report later. Naturally, the Dragon Group is greater."
"Since that is the case, why do you dare to stop me?" Lu Fan said coldly. "Just now, a Dragon Group member almost died by my hand!"
Yang Xing Tian trembled violently. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so audacious, not even putting Dragon Group members in his eyes.
"You have a big mouth!" a subordinate next to him spoke. "Dragon Group members are top-tier experts; how can you contend with them!"
Lu Fan sneered, "If you don't believe me, you can try!"
The subordinate immediately fell silent. To force the Jiang family head into such a state, his strength could be imagined. Although the subordinate was a grandmaster, he had only recently advanced and dared not risk it easily.
"If you dare not, then step aside!" Lu Fan spoke again. "The Jiang family will be annihilated today!"
"This is Zhongzhou City!"
Just as Yang Xing Tian was about to speak, Lu Fan's silver needles shot out like arrows from a bow towards Yang Xing Tian.
Feeling the threat of death, Yang Xing Tian quickly retreated. His muscles instantly bulged with power. These silver needles were too terrifying. With his years of experience, if he didn't use his full strength, even he would die a violent death today.
Another silver needle directly shot towards the head of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family head, already exhausted, had no strength to cope and instantly perished on the spot.
Many martial arts experts present were deeply shocked. They had never seen such a powerful individual.
