"Today's Imperial City is exceptionally lively. I never expected anyone would dare to lay a hand on the young master of the Gu family!"
A young man chuckled, "Now that the Gu family's young master is dead, how can the Gu family let this go easily!"
"Who says not!"
Several others nodded. "However, although they are young, their strength is extremely formidable. They are not ordinary people!"
The rest of the crowd also nodded in agreement. To be able to fight on par with the Gu family's Second Master at such a young age, such strength was naturally extraordinary and not something ordinary people could contend with.
At this very moment, even the First Prince of the royal family and others had arrived at Shili Slope. They watched the battle unfolding before them, their brows slightly furrowed.
"Little sister, what is going on here?"
"Big brother!"
Shen Yehong stepped forward. "This is a mission from Tongtian Academy. It has nothing to do with the royal family, so you shouldn't interfere!"
"The Gu family are my supporters. Why are you attacking members of the Gu family?"
Shen Zhanguo's brow furrowed. Seeing Gu Hai, who had already met his demise, he showed even greater displeasure.
"This is an academy mission, not a royal dispute!"
Shen Yehong stated directly. "Big brother, please don't get involved!"
Shen Zhanguo was displeased and was about to speak when he saw Gu Yuntong's figure in the sky retreating rapidly, his face pale.
Lu Fan was channeling the power of Thunderous Blazing Flames, his aura reaching its peak.
"Sacred Fire!"
Gu Yuntong’s voice was hoarse. "And it's a fusion of several Sacred Fires. It seems you've had quite a few fortuitous encounters, kid!"
"You flatter me!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You are one step away from reaching the Saint realm, but unfortunately, you are still a step short. Below Saints, I am king. Today, you are destined to die!"
The figures of everyone present trembled. "Below Saints, I am king." Such bold words were truly moving.
"Is that so?"
Gu Yuntong sneered. "Do you really think you can kill me?"
"What, do you have any hidden moves?"
Lu Fan shrugged, not taking it seriously at all. In his eyes, Gu Yuntong currently posed no threat to him.
"Let me show you the means of a true Saint!"
Gu Yuntong roared with laughter, instantly throwing out a killing array and trapping Lu Fan within. "This is a Saint's killing array, condensed by a Saint of my Gu family. Today, you are doomed and will not escape this calamity!"
Within the killing array, lightning power surged, and dark clouds gathered, filled with the aura of the Great Dao. Lu Fan found it difficult to move within the array, clearly not expecting such immense power from it.
"Saints are indeed not to be trifled with!"
Lu Fan exclaimed. Just a killing array condensed by a Saint made him feel the aura of death. It was imaginable how powerful a true Saint would be.
"Junior Brother Lu!"
Bi Qing's brows furrowed. At the same time, she stepped forward, intending to break the killing array.
"Don't come forward!"
Lu Fan shouted, "The Saint's killing array is extremely terrifying. Don't barge in recklessly. I have my own way to get out!"
With Lu Fan's words, Bi Qing quickly stopped, but she remained very worried, unsure of what to do.
"You kid are already trapped in this killing array, and you still want to get out? Isn't that wishful thinking!"
Gu Yuntong roared with laughter, looking smug. If his Saint's killing array could be easily broken, wouldn't everyone be able to become a Saint?
"Little sister, you come back with me!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Zhanguo said, "With the protection of the royal family, the Gu family would not dare to do anything to you!"
"No, I will never leave!"
Shen Yehong shook her head. "Big brother, Lu Fan is in danger now. Please think of a way to save him!"
"This is a Saint's killing array, how can I save him!"
Shen Zhanguo shook his head. "Little sister, don't forget, the Gu family also has a Saint. They hold immense power in the Great Yan Dynasty. If you don't leave with me now, you might be in mortal danger!"
Shen Yehong shook her head and took a few steps back. She knew very well that if she left now, she would not be able to face Lu Fan and the others.
"Hmph, trapped in the killing array, unless a true Saint appears, who can save him!"
Gu Yuntong said proudly. Now that Lu Fan was trapped in the killing array, no one could threaten him.
"He is a disciple of Tongtian Academy!"
Shen Yehong said coldly. "If you dare to touch him, Tongtian Academy will never let you off lightly!"
"Since he has come to kill me, why would I let him go!"
Gu Yuntong said coldly. "Even if he is a disciple of Tongtian Academy, so what!"
As they were talking, Lu Fan's aura within the killing array surged again and spread towards the array. Even a killing array formed by Saints could not completely suppress him.
"How is this possible!"
Gu Yuntong was shocked. This killing array was immensely powerful and could only be dispelled by a Saint. He had not expected Lu Fan to have a way to break it.
"With just this killing array, it's not that simple to trap me!"
Lu Fan sneered coldly, his figure transforming into a sword light and directly charging out of the killing array.
"This..."
Everyone present was shocked. They had thought Lu Fan was bound to die, but now it seemed they had underestimated Lu Fan's strength.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Yuntong prepared to flee. The strength that Lu Fan had now displayed was beyond his ability to contend with.
"Want to leave? It's not that simple!"
Lu Fan sneered, blocking Gu Yuntong's path in an instant, his gaze sharp.
"You kid, do you really want to kill me!"
Gu Yuntong roared. "I am the Second Master of the Gu family. If I die, will the Saints of the Gu family not easily let you go!"
"You don't need to worry about that!"
Lu Fan said coldly. "Since I dared to attack you, I have already thought of everything. Today, you are destined to die!" Su Dan Novel Network.
Gu Yuntong's expression changed drastically. He wanted to forcefully attack, but Lu Fan repelled him with a palm strike. Even though he was already at the peak of the Half-Saint realm, he was of no use in front of Lu Fan.
"So strong, so strong!"
Several women watching from not far away exclaimed, their eyes filled with admiration. They were very interested in a young prodigy like Lu Fan.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Gu Yuntong's eyes instantly turned sharp, and the spiritual energy around him surged, intending to forcefully suppress Lu Fan.
Unfortunately, with Lu Fan's surrounding flame power and his fierce spiritual energy, it was not something he could control.
In an instant, Gu Yuntong was sent flying again. A powerful spiritual energy transformed into a sharp sword and directly pierced through him, blood continuously flowing out.
"Second Master!"
The members of the Gu family cried out, their expressions changing. They clearly had not expected things to turn out this way.
"Success!"
Bi Qing showed joy and stepped forward, directly taking Gu Yuntong's head.
At the same time, the members of the Gu family also attacked. Now that their young master and Second Master were dead, how could the Gu family Saints spare them? Now, only by fighting to the death could they protect their families. Otherwise, they would be unable to bear the pursuit of the Gu family Saints.
