The Tiger Clan leader, after being sent flying by Lu Fan, cupped his fists and said, "As long as you spare our lives, we will serve you like oxen or horses and never speak another word!"
"Yes, yes!"
The Divine Serpent Clan leader quickly nodded, his plea seemingly more desperate. The situation had reached a point where he felt a sense of fear. Lu Fan's strength was too formidable, so much so that even he felt a tremor of apprehension. Such immense power naturally instilled dread in one's heart.
Meanwhile, everyone could clearly sense that Lu Fan's aura was extraordinary, and his power was terrifying. Jiuyue and the others showed joy on their faces. They had been worried, but now it seemed their concerns were unnecessary. Lu Fan's displayed strength was enough to crush them. Even if the two clans joined forces, they would not be a match for Lu Fan. Perhaps this was destiny.
"If you had simply obeyed me obediently from the start, perhaps I would have spared your lives. Unfortunately, you did not!" Lu Fan shrugged and said, "Therefore, I naturally cannot let you go!"
"We are all subordinates of the Divine Dragon Clan. If you truly kill us, the Divine Dragon Clan will never let this go!" the Divine Serpent declared, "If you let us go, you can pretend nothing happened. This might not be a bad thing for you!"
"The Divine Dragon Clan?" Lu Fan glanced at him, a cold sneer appearing on his face. "Do you think I would be afraid?"
Faced with these words, the Divine Serpent Clan leader's face turned ashen. He never expected Lu Fan to speak like this, leaving him speechless and unsure of how to proceed. At the same time, everyone could clearly feel the killing intent radiating from Lu Fan. That naked aura permeated the entire area.
"Spare them!" Jiuyue suddenly spoke, her expression firm, her gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
"But they all deserve to die!" Lu Fan shook his head, looking at Jiuyue. He couldn't quite understand why she would intercede, and with such conviction.
"I know that, but you should also know that the Divine Dragon Clan is not to be trifled with. If you kill them, you will offend the Divine Dragon Clan and invite a fatal disaster!" Jiuyue cautioned, taking this matter very seriously. After all, this was no trivial matter. If Lu Fan insisted, it would likely lead to endless trouble.
"The Divine Dragon Clan holds no fear for me!" Lu Fan smiled slightly and, in one swift motion, smashed the Tiger Clan leader into a mist of blood. He acted without hesitation, as if all of this were utterly insignificant in his eyes.
The Divine Serpent Clan leader's face changed drastically upon witnessing this. He retreated rapidly, clearly feeling an overwhelming pressure that made his scalp tingle.
"Do you think you can escape?" Lu Fan looked at the Divine Serpent Clan leader, a cold smile on his lips, carrying a chilling edge. It seemed that in his eyes, no one could escape his grasp.
"You will regret this!" the Divine Serpent Clan leader said angrily, appearing righteous. Lu Fan's ruthlessness was something he hadn't anticipated. However, Lu Fan's actions would ultimately come at a price. After all, the Divine Dragon Clan was not just making empty threats; they were truly allied. As subordinate forces of the Divine Dragon Clan, how could they stand idly by? They would surely make Lu Fan pay, and at that time, everyone would understand the strength of their two clans.
*Boom...*
With a deafening sound, the Divine Serpent Clan leader instantly perished, his death brutal and absolute, leaving him no chance to resist. Perhaps in the eyes of the truly powerful, this was the most realistic scene.
Witnessing their leaders fall, the members of the two clans were instantly filled with panic. They had resorted to any means necessary to deal with the Fox Clan, and now with both clan leaders dead, it was a devastating blow to them.
"Fox Clan, heed my command! Annihilate these few!" Jiuyue's voice rang out, her eyes filled with cold light, carrying an imposing aura as if she had everything under control. The Fox Clan members cupped their fists in response, exuding a formidable presence. At this juncture, they would not hold back in the slightest and would fight with all their might. The demise of the two opposing powerhouses was a significant blow. With the Fox Clan now taking direct action, they would surely strike with lightning speed.
Seeing this, the members of the two clans began to flee in a desperate rush, their faces etched with terror. They knew full well that if they didn't escape immediately, they would likely perish here today. Lu Fan was no ordinary person; even the two clan leaders had died at his hands. Who among them could possibly be his match? They would simply be slaughtered.
"Leave none alive!" Jiuyue's voice echoed again, this time with a killing intent. These individuals had stopped at nothing to oppose the Fox Clan, and now she would not let them off the hook. They had to pay the price, and only then could the honor of the Fox Clan be restored.
After a fierce battle, the Divine Serpent Clan and the Tiger Clan were completely annihilated, leaving countless bones scattered across the ground. The Fox Clan's prowess was amplified by Lu Fan's support, making the outcome seem almost inevitable to them.
"From now on, my Fox Clan will be your subordinates, at your personal command!" Jiuyue looked at Lu Fan with seriousness in her eyes, her expression deeply earnest.
Lu Fan, however, shook his head at her words. "You have your own matters to attend to, no need to concern yourselves with this. Today's events were merely a simple gesture!"
"You have saved the Fox Clan from dire straits multiple times. This is what the Fox Clan should do!" Jiuyue stated directly, "If you do not agree, the entire Fox Clan will force you to!"
"Why must it be so!" Lu Fan shook his head, feeling a sense of helplessness. He had intervened to save the Fox Clan, not for power or influence, but he hadn't expected Jiuyue to speak of this.
"The Fox Clan was saved by you. Without you, the Fox Clan would have long since perished!" the Fox Clan elder said, "We implore you not to refuse!"
"This is everyone's heartfelt wish. Why don't you accept their feelings?" Liuyue said with a smile. "Perhaps in their eyes, you are the guardian spirit of the Fox Clan, who has saved us from peril time and again!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly at these words, understanding the sentiment behind them. However, some matters were not as simple as they seemed. He might not stay with the Fox Clan for long, as he likely had other things to attend to. Seeing the Fox Clan's resolute stance, however, made Lu Fan feel quite resigned.
