The Zhao family, within Chu Prefecture, was a formidable power that no force dared to offend. Now, the Zhao family was backing Lu Fan, which made things quite interesting.
Under normal circumstances, the Zhao family would never mobilize its family forces for a single individual unless that person possessed profound backing.
Lu Fan's ability to have numerous Zhao family experts accompany him, with even the Zhao family head showing him respect, suggested his identity was far from ordinary.
"Patriarch Zhao, that's a true Grandmaster!"
A man on the mountaintop spoke, "It seems there's a good show to watch today!"
Others also looked on with anticipation. A one-sided crush would be meaningless; only when strengths were comparable would it be the most exciting.
Jin Guang stood tall on the peak, looking at the Zhao family head, his brow furrowing slightly.
Previously, in Chu Prefecture, Jin Guang Martial Hall and the Zhao family had maintained a policy of non-interference. Now, with the Zhao family stepping forward for Lu Fan, it caused him some displeasure.
Although he hadn't reached the Grandmaster realm before, the Zhao family head had been quite polite to him. The reason for this was the connection to his master.
Du Qianqiu, thirty years ago, was renowned throughout the nation, even considered a pinnacle existence in martial arts. As Du Qianqiu's disciple, he was naturally held in high regard.
"Why does this figure look so familiar?" Young Master Zhu looked towards Lu Fan.
Yang Haibo also observed, his expression filled with surprise, "It's him! The one at Niutou Mountain was him!"
Young Master Liu also frowned, "Could the person fighting with Master Jin Guang be him?"
"If that's the case, then it couldn't be better!" Yang Haibo's face lit up with joy. "I spent a full ten million, and Thirteen Swords of Life-Taking didn't even make a move. If he can die at Master Jin Guang's hands this time, I won't have to spend this ten million!"
"He dares to challenge Master Jin Guang just like that?" Young Master Zhu scoffed, "I really don't know where he gets his confidence from!"
"You can't say that!" Young Master Liu shook his head. "He doesn't seem like someone without self-awareness. Perhaps he truly has the strength!"
"Give me a break!" Yang Haibo sneered. "He might have some skills, but wanting to be an enemy of Master Jin Guang is simply seeking death!"
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Fan leaped directly to the summit of Qinglong Mountain, looking at Master Jin Guang and asking, "What, has your master come today!"
"To deal with you, I alone am sufficient!" Master Jin Guang smiled faintly. "My master is such a distinguished figure; how can you see him just because you wish?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "Since that's the case, you likely cannot escape your doom today!"
"Don't speak too soon!" Master Jin Guang said coldly. "Over the years, many have challenged Jin Guang Martial Hall, but they all ended up defeated. You will be no exception!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, standing with his hands behind his back. Since he had come today, he would not back down.
"Make your move! Let me see your skills!" Master Jin Guang said coldly. "As a senior, I will let you have three moves!"
"Are you sure?" Lu Fan shrugged. "How about I let you have three moves instead? After all, I need to let you die with some understanding!"
"Arrogant!"
The many disciples of Jin Guang Martial Hall said coldly, "How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Unfortunately, Lu Fan ignored them, looking at Master Jin Guang and asking, "What, not making a move yet!"
"So young, yet so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
With a chilling voice, Master Jin Guang stepped forward, moving like a gust of wind.
The Zhao family head was also slightly surprised. "Grandmaster, he actually broke through!"
"That's right, my master has successfully broken through to Grandmaster in the past few days!"
A disciple of Jin Guang Martial Hall said proudly, "Now, this battle, Jin Guang Martial Hall is bound to win!"
The onlookers were also slightly surprised. They had heard before that Master Jin Guang had reached a bottleneck. Now it seemed that was indeed the case. Breaking through to Grandmaster before a major battle was simply defying fate.
The Zhao family head said nothing more, nor did he appear worried. He knew Lu Fan's capabilities better than anyone. Even the combined forces of the four Grandmasters from Jiangnan and Qingzhou had been unable to defeat Lu Fan, and Lu Fan had even killed one Grandmaster. How many people in the world could achieve such strength?
Master Jin Guang's figure was like a phantom, and in an instant, he was beside Lu Fan, only to be violently repelled by Lu Fan's formidable power, unable to even stand steady.
The crowd was even more astonished, not knowing what had happened. Master Jin Guang being repelled was almost unbelievable to them.
"Martial Grandmaster!"
Master Jin Guang looked at Lu Fan sharply. "You are also a Martial Grandmaster?"
"Does it matter if I am a Grandmaster?" Lu Fan smiled. "Today is your death day. After you die, I presume your master will appear, and he can exact revenge for you!"
"You wish!"
Master Jin Guang's internal energy surged, and his Grandmaster power instantly radiated outwards. "You are not the only one with Grandmaster abilities!"
"Tsk tsk!"
Lu Fan sneered disdainfully, not taking it seriously at all. Let alone someone who had just entered the Grandmaster realm, even an old-time Grandmaster would not be taken seriously by Lu Fan. Su Dan Novel Network.
Master Jin Guang knew Lu Fan's strength was formidable and dared not be careless. He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and the ground moved without wind, turning fallen leaves into sharp swords that shot towards Lu Fan. These swords contained powerful internal force.
On the mountaintop, Lin Xiaojia looked on nervously. With such fierce combat, if one was not careful, they could lose their life.
"Don't worry, this kid is very strong, he'll be fine!" Granny Poisonous Snake chuckled. "I've never been wrong!"
Lin Xiaojia nodded slightly, looking towards the mountaintop.
However, at this moment, besides Master Jin Guang, there was no other figure to be seen on the summit.
"He ran!"
The many disciples of Jin Guang Martial Hall looked around suspiciously, then burst into laughter. "I thought he was so powerful! He actually fled in panic!"
Master Jin Guang, however, did not rejoice. He looked around vigilantly. He knew very well that Lu Fan's strength was extraordinary and he would not leave just like that. He must have used some kind of technique!
As expected, when Lu Fan reappeared, he had already unleashed a powerful palm strike. Master Jin Guang was sent flying, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The faces of the many disciples of Jin Guang Martial Hall turned grim. They could not have imagined that Lu Fan possessed such a method, hiding invisibly, making him impossible to guard against.
"I lost!"
Master Jin Guang staggered and said, "You are not a Grandmaster, but a mighty being!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Jin Guang knelt on the ground and died instantly.
The many martial arts experts present were in an uproar, even disbelieving. Killing a Grandmaster with a single palm strike was something even contemporary powerhouses might not be able to achieve to this extent.
Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression even colder. Master Jin Guang was correct; with Lu Fan's strength, he was far from being a mere Grandmaster.
"You killed the Hall Master, and Jin Guang Martial Hall will be irreconcilable with you!"
A man stepped forward, shouting at Lu Fan. However, before his words even fell, he turned into nothingness.
The many experts observing from Chu Prefecture were stunned. They had never imagined that Lu Fan's methods were so powerful, and that he was so unconcerned.
