In previous years, there were indeed talented individuals who managed to kill all the experts in the ancient battlefield, emerging with ten spirit pearls. Such people were terrifying and extremely ruthless.
As they walked forward, Hu Xian'er's voice suddenly sounded, and her gaze fixed ahead: "Is that Zhao Tiannan? He seems to be under siege!"
"This..."
Xu Kuo also slightly froze. Seeing Zhao Tiannan being attacked and even showing signs of exhaustion, he felt a pang of worry. After all, Zhao Tiannan was from the Eastern Region, and it would be a shame if something truly happened to him.
Noticing the eyes of the others, Lu Fan spoke, "If you wish to offer assistance, then by all means, step forward!"
Xu Kuo and Hu Xian'er exchanged glances, their resolve evident as they moved towards Zhao Tiannan. While Zhao Tiannan was a Holy Son, those who entered the ancient battlefield were no ordinary individuals. Therefore, it was likely extremely difficult for him to contend against multiple opponents alone.
Lu Fan remained standing aside, showing no intention of intervening. After all, this matter did not concern him, and with Hu Xian'er and Xu Kuo present, it was more than enough.
After a fierce battle, Zhao Tiannan gradually gained the upper hand. He felt a sense of gratitude for the help from Xu Kuo and Hu Xian'er. If they hadn't intervened, Zhao Tiannan would likely have perished.
However, at this very moment, five or six more figures sprinted towards them, blocking Zhao Tiannan, Hu Xian'er, and the others. Their aura was exceptionally formidable.
"It's over, it's over, Big Sister is surrounded!" Hu Yu shouted, looking towards Lu Fan, hoping he would step in.
Lu Fan's expression remained calm, with no intention of acting. Instead, he stood by and quietly observed.
Hu Yu also felt helpless and rushed forward. Despite being the weakest, he had no other choice. He knew Lu Fan and Zhao Tiannan had a past conflict, making it unlikely for Lu Fan to offer help.
After a period of entanglement, Hu Xian'er and the others found themselves surrounded, their energy growing weaker. They had never expected the ancient battlefield to be so perilous. They had not fallen to the killing formations, but were now facing death at the hands of their competitors.
"I've dragged you all down!"
Zhao Tiannan blamed himself, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a predicament."
"This is not the time for self-reproach!"
Hu Xian'er shook her head. "We must break through the encirclement to have a chance of survival!"
"Don't worry about me, just leave," Zhao Tiannan glanced at Lu Fan nearby. He knew that as long as Hu Xian'er and the others returned to Lu Fan's side, they would be safe.
Unfortunately, their attempts to break through the encirclement were proving futile. These were seasoned fighters, each a peerless prodigy. Such individuals were by no means easy for ordinary people to contend with.
Seeing Hu Xian'er and the others struggling, Lu Fan shook his head and then looked at Young Master Tao. "Let's make a move! Otherwise, they might say we were unhelpful. After all, regardless of anything else, they are people from the Eastern Region!"
"Since Brother Hao Tian says so, then we shall act together!" The Young Master of the Tao family nodded slightly.
In that instant, Lu Fan and the Young Master of the Tao family joined the fray, their auras instantly expanding, appearing incredibly fearsome.
Seeing Lu Fan's appearance, Zhao Tiannan was somewhat taken aback. He had never expected Lu Fan to intervene and offer assistance.
After all, he had provocatively challenged Lu Fan back in Liuli City. Lu Fan's current act of helping left him somewhat bewildered.
After the situation was brought under control, Lu Fan spoke, "It's too chaotic here. Don't act rashly. Let's go!"
With that, Lu Fan stepped further into the depths of the ancient battlefield.
Zhao Tiannan, however, spoke, "Why did you come to my aid?"
Lu Fan blinked, then looked at Zhao Tiannan. "Because you are from the Eastern Region. And besides, I wasn't saving you just now; I was only saving them!"
Zhao Tiannan stood there, a hint of awkwardness on his face. Although Lu Fan said this, regardless of the reason, if Lu Fan hadn't intervened, his life would likely have been in peril. Thus, he felt a degree of gratitude towards Lu Fan.
"Having more friends means more paths!"
Hu Xian'er smiled. "If you join us, at least our combat strength will increase. You saw it yourself, everyone is forming teams!"
"But..."
Zhao Tiannan looked at Lu Fan, his expression becoming more solemn. He was acutely aware that with his own strength, joining this group was not solely his decision.
"Since we're going the same way, let's go together," Lu Fan shrugged. "However, I can't guarantee you'll get the spirit pearls!"
"Thank you!"
Zhao Tiannan bowed slightly, feeling a sense of shame. He regretted his actions at the Drunken Immortal Tower.
However, at this point, he had nothing more to say.
"If I'm not mistaken, the depths of the ancient battlefield are where the true tests lie!" Lu Fan gazed ahead. "I sense a great deal of spiritual energy ahead, and this formidable aura carries a killing intent. It might be a killing formation. Everyone must be careful!"
The others nodded in unison. If Lu Fan said so, they knew it must be true, and they had no doubt about it.
"If it's a killing formation, why do we have to go through here?" Xu Kuo asked, puzzled. "The desolate ancient battlefield is vast; can't we take a detour?"
"That may be true, but haven't you noticed that there's a significant killing formation ahead, while on our left and right, we sense the presence of fierce beasts? This means there's no way to bypass it regardless of the path taken!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Follow me closely, and if we can break through the killing formation together, perhaps we can obtain the spirit pearls!"
The people present nodded slightly, a flicker of anticipation in their hearts. Within the entire ancient battlefield, most of the entrants had already suffered heavy casualties. Everyone was heading towards the deepest parts of the ancient battlefield, as they were well aware that only by obtaining spirit pearls could they enter Zhongzhou Academy.
Since ancient times, Zhongzhou Academy had been eternal and had nurtured countless experts. Therefore, the prospect of entering Zhongzhou Academy filled them with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.
Not long after they began walking, Lu Fan and his companions were suddenly alarmed. A formation instantly materialized, rendering them immobile. Within the formation, there was also an aura of supreme destructive power. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Everyone be careful!"
Lu Fan issued a warning. "This formation is extremely peculiar. I've never seen anything like it. It must have been left behind from ancient times. Any slight misstep could cost us our lives!"
Everyone present nodded, their expressions growing solemn, and they dared not act recklessly. They knew very well that life was singular.
