Han Bing and the others looked pleased, wondering which expert from the Dragon Country had arrived with such an impressive display.
As the voice echoed, an old man appeared, standing beside Lu Fan. "Little fellow, I'm here to lend you a hand!"
"Old Oddball!" Lu Fan exclaimed happily. "You've been missing in Zhongzhou for so long, and now you decide to show up?"
"What else could I do!" Old Oddball said helplessly. "With people from other countries being so arrogant, if I didn't step in, how could I face my countrymen!"
"It's you!"
Jian Ying exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you one of the people the Dragon Group was pursuing?"
Old Oddball glanced at him. "With a great enemy before us, do you still intend to deal with me?" Sū Dān Novel Network
"Senior, you jest. We can barely protect ourselves now, how could we possibly dare to attack you," Jian Ying said with a hasty smile.
In their current desperate situation, Old Oddball was clearly on their side. Jian Ying dared not offend him easily; he was a lifesaver.
Judging by Old Oddball's current aura, he was no ordinary expert. Another War Spirit level expert would be of utmost importance to them.
"I say, old man, this matter has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to get involved?"
Ouyang Qingmu said coldly, "If you leave now, perhaps there's still time!"
"What a joke. I, this old man, am from the Dragon Country. If you dare to set foot in the Dragon Country, how can I stand by and do nothing?" Old Oddball said coldly.
"It's not about arrogance!" Ouyang Qingmu sneered. "Do you think you can turn the tide of the battle with your abilities?"
"How will you know if you don't try!" Old Oddball narrowed his eyes. "The girls from the Sea Country are beautiful, but their hearts are as venomous as a scorpion's!"
"Sea Rakshasa members, obey! Kill this old man first," Ouyang Qingmu said coldly.
Han Bing and the others also frowned. Although Old Oddball was not weak, dealing with them forcibly would not be an easy task.
"Leave these people to me. Go and deal with that woman!" Old Oddball said, looking at Lu Fan. "Should be no problem, right?"
"No problem!" Lu Fan nodded. "But with so many experts, are you sure you can handle it alone?"
"Are you kidding me? I, this old man, am not made of mud," Old Oddball said with a cold expression, launching his attack towards the crowd.
Jian Yu and the others were already heavily injured and dared not make any moves. They were initially filled with worry, but seeing Old Oddball handle the situation with ease, they finally felt relieved.
"This old man's strength is not weak; he should be able to hold them off for a while," Han Bing said. "It seems we misunderstood him earlier!"
"Indeed!" Jian Ying nodded, while blood flowed from his body. Earlier, the three of them had faced numerous experts and almost died. If not for Lu Fan's forceful suppression, they would not have survived.
Ouyang Qingmu frowned. With Old Oddball's strength alone, he could fend off over a dozen War Spirit experts. Such formidable power was likely no less than his own.
"It's your turn now!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I had reservations earlier, but not anymore. You'd better be prepared."
"We don't know who will emerge victorious yet," Ouyang Qingmu said coldly.
Lu Fan didn't say more and unleashed a palm strike. Earlier, for the safety of everyone, Lu Fan had been distracted, which prevented him from suppressing Ouyang Qingmu. Now, with Old Oddball holding the line, he could unleash his full strength to kill Ouyang Qingmu.
Feeling Lu Fan's powerful offensive, Ouyang Qingmu's face turned ashen, clearly struggling to maintain his stance.
Han Bing's eyes gleamed. Even with their combined strength, they might not have been able to defeat Ouyang Qingmu. Yet, Lu Fan, on his own, had him completely suppressed.
"Such powerful means!" Jian Ying exclaimed in awe. "No wonder he's so highly regarded by the boss!"
"Naturally!" Bei Dou said. "If the boss personally intervened, he might not even be able to suppress him!"
"Hurry up, kid, I can't hold on much longer," Old Oddball said. "These little brats have powerful dark arts, and I'm still injured!"
Lu Fan didn't say more. His internal energy surged madly, and a palm strike directly hit Ouyang Qingmu's chest, forcing him to retreat continuously. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning even more ashen.
"How about it? This palm strike has good force, doesn't it?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You dared to step into the Dragon Country; today, you will never return!"
Ouyang Qingmu was heavily injured and no match for Lu Fan. With Old Oddball joining the fray, he began to consider retreating.
It was likely that not long from now, many more experts from the Dragon Country would arrive, making it difficult for them to retreat safely.
With this thought, Ouyang Qingmu fled first, not daring to linger. He was no match for Lu Fan, and it was not the opportune moment to fight him.
"It's not that easy to escape!"
Lu Fan stepped forward and grabbed at Ouyang Qingmu, only to find it was a piece of clothing. Ouyang Qingmu had already fled far away.
Lu Fan frowned, stomping his foot heavily on the ground. A powerful residual force instantly swept outwards.
Although Ouyang Qingmu had employed his dark arts, he was still affected by the powerful residual force, blood constantly flowing from his lips.
At this moment, the other assassins from the Sea Rakshasa, sensing that something was wrong, prepared to flee.
"Old man, don't let them escape," Lu Fan said. "Anyone who steps into the Dragon Country will be pursued, no matter how far!"
"These brats understand dark arts; capturing them won't be easy," Old Oddball said.
"No one is leaving today!"
Lu Fan took out his Bagua disc and simultaneously stepped towards various locations around Baiyun Peak, seemingly conjuring a formation.
This Bagua disc was a spiritual artifact that Lu Fan had acquired from an antique market. It could generate the Bagua formation, but it required sufficient time. Now, with Old Oddball holding the line, he was buying Lu Fan considerable time.
"Quick Hand!"
The Sea Rakshasa members sensed that something was amiss and began to flee. However, for some reason, their dark arts instantly lost their effect on Baiyun Peak, revealing them to everyone.
"I've been studying this Bagua Dragon Locking Formation for a long time," Lu Fan said, his eyes narrowed. "Today, I'll open your eyes to it!"
After speaking, Lu Fan launched a punch towards a War Spirit expert. Before the expert could react, he was dead. The others were instantly filled with panic.
Within this Bagua Dragon Locking Formation, Lu Fan seemed invincible, while the Sea Rakshasa members were like lambs to the slaughter, all being killed within the formation, unable to even resist due to the immense suppression from the array.
Ouyang Qingmu, having narrowly escaped death, looked at the fallen War Spirit experts on Baiyun Peak with malice in his eyes, his killing intent towards Lu Fan growing even stronger.
In the blink of an eye, the many experts of the Sea Rakshasa were dead. The Sea Rakshasa had no presence left within Baiyun Peak.
Witnessing Lu Fan fighting like a god of slaughter, everyone's blood surged, their eyes filled with envy. Many grandmasters were filled with extreme admiration, realizing that without Lu Fan, they would likely have perished today.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ouyang Qinghuo, who was locked in a fierce battle with Long Aotian, received news from Ouyang Qingmu, causing his expression to turn grim.
