"Sea Country forces, heed my command! Intercept and kill the strong from the Sky Country! Do not fail!"
With this order, the many experts of the Sea Country looked bewildered, but they dared not disobey Elder Wuji's command.
In that instant, within the Valley of Death, the strong of the Sea Country and the Sky Country clashed. The many strong of the Dragon Country stood by, silently observing it all.
The elders of the Dragon Country also narrowed their eyes. It was quite pleasant not to have to act. The Sky Country was thousands of miles away, and it was likely impossible for them to send reinforcements at this time.
Seeing the experts of the two countries fighting, Lu Fan narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. The many strong of the Dragon Country had already suffered heavy injuries, and it would be best to sever ties between the Sea Country and the Sky Country without expending much effort.
The Sky Country, without leadership, saw many of its experts fleeing, unwilling to face the enemy head-on. If they were foolish enough to persist, their fate would be tragic.
At the beginning, the alliance of the three great nations had the upper hand against the Dragon Country, but that was no longer the case. They would likely be crushed by the numerous strong forces soon.
The many strong of the Sea Country did not dare to be negligent and attacked the experts of the Sky Country. Only by doing so could they have a chance of survival.
After all, Yan Cangtian was dead. In this situation, this was the only way they could be forgiven by the Dragon Country.
"Lord Lu, this matter has nothing to do with the Sea Country. It was all the oppression from the Sky Country. I hope you will spare us!" Elder Wuji said repeatedly.
"The Sea Country is not without its part in this!" Lu Fan said coldly. "I have a pill here. If you eat it, you can live. If you don't, you will not escape death today!"
"This..."
Elder Wuji's face darkened. They thought they had done enough by dealing with the Sky Country's martial artists, but they hadn't expected Lu Fan to have further demands.
"What, you're unwilling?" Lu Fan sneered. "If you're unwilling, don't blame me for being ruthless! The martial arts experts of the Dragon Country all died because of you. I will not let this matter rest!"
"Lord Lu, how could I dare to disobey your words!"
Elder Wuji helplessly took the pill from Lu Fan's hand. The tide had turned, and he was no match for Lu Fan. Resisting further would be meaningless.
After Elder Wuji swallowed the pill, he looked at Lu Fan again, "Lord Lu, I have taken the pill!"
"This pill is called the Poison Heart Pill. I will give you the antidote every three months!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Without the antidote, no one in this world can save you!"
Elder Wuji's expression changed. He had known for a long time that Lu Fan's pills would not be simple, but now that he had swallowed it, he could only accept his fate.
After a fierce battle, many experts of the Sky Country died, and few of the Sea Country's strong remained. For a time, everyone rejoiced.
"That's not right, where are the elders of the Black Bear Country?" Han Bing suddenly spoke.
"They probably fled long ago!" Elder Jiu said. "Seeing that the tide had turned, why would they stay!"
"What a shame!" Han Bing frowned. "The Black Bear Country is just a small nation, yet it dared to join forces with the Sky Country!"
"Don't worry, not a single one who attacked the Dragon Country will be spared!"
Lu Fan said coldly, his eyes filled with a chilling light.
Faced with Lu Fan's words, the many martial arts experts of the Dragon Country were filled with passion. They had fought to protect the Dragon Country, for the day when the Dragon Country could become strong and prosperous, and make other nations pay the price.
After this battle ended, the many martial arts experts of the Dragon Country headed towards the Dragon Country.
In this battle, the Dragon Country had achieved a hard-won victory, with far more martial arts experts sacrificed than other nations.
Although they had won this time, they did not dare to be complacent. They knew very well that the Sky Country, having suffered a loss, would not let this matter rest. If they were to send even more powerful beings next time, the Dragon Country would be in grave danger.
Lu Fan stood on the mountaintop, gazing at the many strongholds of the Dragon Country. His expression grew more serious. If the Dragon Country had more powerful individuals, they would not be treated this way by other nations.
"Brat, we owe you a lot this time!"
Elder Four arrived, "However, after this, the Dragon Country will likely be even more perilous!"
"Don't worry, Elder, I will never let them set foot into the Dragon Country!" Lu Fan's voice was resolute.
"If there were more people like you in the Dragon Country, what would the Dragon Country have to fear in the future!" Elder Four sighed.
"If it weren't for young Lu this time, the Dragon Country would be in a precarious situation. Should we reward him properly upon our return to the Dragon Country?" Elder Nine smiled, "He is a hero for all time!"
"That is only natural!"
Elder Four nodded, his expression more solemn.
"As a person of the Dragon Country, these are things I should do!" Lu Fan chuckled. "Elders, you don't need to worry about it!"
The elders nodded slightly but said no more. Instead, they looked towards the outer battlefield of the Dragon Country, their expressions slightly changed.
On the outer battlefield, the ground was covered with countless corpses. Every deceased was a martyr of the Dragon Country, who had sacrificed their lives for it.
As the many martial arts experts retreated, only a few generals remained to guard the outposts on the outer battlefield.
This battle had been too fierce, and many martial arts experts were injured. They would need to make some adjustments upon their return to the country.
As Lu Fan was about to leave, a graceful figure appeared before him, her clear eyes filled with purity.
"Is it you?"
Lu Fan glanced at her. "Why are you here?"
"My name is Bai Hua Xue, and I am from the Bai Hua family of the Ju Ling Country!" Bai Hua Xue said earnestly.
"Mm!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Is there something you need?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to get to know you!" Bai Hua Xue said with affectionate eyes.
"We already know each other!"
Lu Fan said indifferently and then headed towards the Dragon Country, paying little attention to the person before him.
The Ju Ling Country had always been on friendly terms with the Dragon Country and was its neighbor. However, during the great war of the Dragon Country, the many powerful individuals of the Ju Ling Country had not offered any assistance.
Since that was the case, the bond of friendship between the Dragon Country and the Ju Ling Country was likely just that.
Seeing Lu Fan's indifference, Bai Hua Xue felt a bit dejected. As someone admired by the entire Ju Ling Country, she seemed to have no impact on Lu Fan.
"Miss Bai Hua, he has already left!"
An old man spoke, "There are many experts on the outer battlefield, and it is not safe here!"
"Why, why is he like this towards me?" Bai Hua Xue asked, puzzled. "Is it because I'm not beautiful enough?"
"How could someone with such righteousness only look at outward appearances!" The old man chuckled. "For the sake of the nation, he disregards his own life!"
Bai Hua Xue trembled slightly. Perhaps, as the old man said, some things could not be forced.
"Moreover, with so many martial arts experts of the Dragon Country dead, how could this lord care about personal romantic affairs!" The old man added. "If Miss truly has feelings for him, she should train harder and one day be worthy of him!"
Bai Hua Xue felt enlightened. She now realized that perhaps it was her own lack of strength that had prevented her from catching Lu Fan's attention.
