"Little fellow, I am a War King realm expert. If you were to face me, your survival would be uncertain!"
The old man sneered, "It might still be possible to beg for mercy on your knees now!"
"Old sir, you shouldn't speak too soon!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "If you can injure me even a little today, then you'll truly be accomplished within the Juling Kingdom!"
"What an arrogant brat!" The white-haired old man stepped forward, showing no mercy.
Not only was Lu Fan arrogant, but he was also sharp-tongued. He wouldn't be soft-hearted towards someone like him.
"He's courting death!"
Baili Qianshan sneered. He knew the white-haired old man's strength best; dealing with Lu Fan would be a simple matter.
Feeling the sharp gust of wind, Lu Fan did not dodge. Instead, he charged directly at the old man.
Seeing this, the white-haired old man's gaze became even sharper. If Lu Fan had dodged, he might have had a chance to survive. But with Lu Fan's current posture, he was giving himself no opportunity.
"Let's see who else dares to oppose the Baili family in Juling City in the future!"
Baili Qianshan sneered, his expression growing more indifferent, as if he didn't take the matter seriously.
Among the crowd, many martial artists watched but dared not speak rashly. The Baili family was not to be offended; they were well aware of this.
*Boom...*
A loud noise echoed, and the white-haired old man was sent flying, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
In contrast, Lu Fan remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
"How is that possible!"
Baili Qianshan stood frozen. The old man before him was a War King realm expert of the Baili family, such a peerless master was a top expert even within the Juling Kingdom.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Bai Huaxue said coldly, "Lord Lu is renowned in the Outer Domain Battlefield, having consecutively slain over ten War King realm experts. Your Baili family simply cannot afford to offend him!"
"Slay over ten War Kings?"
Baili Qianshan's legs went numb. If that were true, his Baili family truly couldn't afford to offend him.
If it were before, he wouldn't have believed Bai Huaxue at all, but having witnessed Lu Fan's methods now, he had no choice but to believe.
"Pfft..."
The fallen old man spat out blood, his face instantly paling. If Lu Fan had not held back, he would likely have met his demise.
"Well, do you still want to compete?"
Lu Fan looked at Baili Qianshan, his expression turning cold.
As the young master of the Baili family, he did not contribute to the Juling Kingdom and instead bullied others. Lu Fan would not take someone like him seriously.
"Although your strength is formidable, this is Juling City!"
Baili Qianshan feigned composure, "You injured a member of the Baili family, and the Baili family will not let this matter rest!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan instantly sneered, "If that's the case, then it seems you no longer need to exist!"
Baili Qianshan was startled, and the others were also shocked. Lu Fan's words sent a chill down their spines.
"You don't mean to eliminate us, do you!" Baili Qianshan probed.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. If Lu Fan truly intended this, they would have nowhere to escape today.
With Lu Fan's previous display of skill, their escape was impossible.
"Why not?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, "Since you are seeking death, I will naturally fulfill your wish!"
"Please, Your Excellency, show mercy!"
The injured white-haired old man quickly said, "It was the Baili family who erred first. I hope Your Excellency will not hold a grudge!"
"What you say is probably useless!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "What happened today was caused by him, and it should be him who speaks!"
Baili Qianshan's face darkened, "This is Juling City. It's impossible for me to apologize!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan moved like a phantom, appearing before Baili Qianshan in an instant. Before he could react, Lu Fan struck out with his palm.
Baili Qianshan hurriedly met the palm strike with his own.
*Boom...*
The sound echoed all around. Baili Qianshan was forced back, his arm even began to bend, and his face instantly turned pale.
"My hand!"
Baili Qianshan cried out, then roared. He had never suffered such humiliation since he was young.
"This is just a warning for you today!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If it weren't for the Grand Elder, what is the Baili family to me!"
Baili Qianshan's eyes were filled with malice as he, along with other members of the Baili family, left dejectedly.
Many martial artists nearby were astonished. They hadn't expected Lu Fan's methods to be so powerful, capable of intimidating even a War King realm expert.
"This storm is probably not over yet!"
Gu Wen shrugged, "The Baili family, as one of the three great families, must have a formidable family head!"
"Even if the Baili family head personally intervened, he would not be your master's opponent!" Han Qiushui said lightly.
"Indeed!" Bai Huaxue nodded, "With Lord Lu taking action, it wouldn't be difficult to destroy the Baili family!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, "Some things are not as simple as they seem!"
"Lord Lu, why be so modest!"
Bai Huaxue smiled, "However, you are esteemed guests in Juling City, yet you encountered such a matter! It is my Baihua family's negligence!"
"This has nothing to do with the Baihua family!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "My mood is ruined now. Let's head to the City Lord's Mansion early. After this feast, it's time to leave!"
"Where is Lord Lu planning to go?"
Bai Huaxue said seriously, "No matter where Lord Lu goes, I will follow! My father has already agreed that I can venture out."
"To the various kingdoms!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "By forming alliances with the various kingdoms, we can resist the Canglong Kingdom and no longer be coerced by them!"
"That's a good idea!"
Bai Huaxue nodded seriously, "No wonder Lord Lu came to Juling Kingdom!"
"This alliance is just a stroke of luck!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "As for the other kingdoms, I don't know what their attitude will be!"
"As long as Lord Lu takes action, you will surely succeed!"
Bai Huaxue's expression was solemn, and she had great faith in Lu Fan.
Not long after, they headed towards the City Lord's Mansion, appearing somewhat hurried.
Meanwhile, within Juling City, it was as if a pot had exploded.
They had clearly seen Lu Fan suppress the young master of the Baili family just now. Such a thing had never happened in the past few hundred years.
Under normal circumstances, people in Juling City would not dare to offend anyone from the Baili family. Yet Lu Fan had broken the young master Baili's arm. If this news spread, how would the Baili family maintain its dignity?
By then, there would surely be a good show.
Outside the Baili family's courtyard, Baili Qianshan arrived in a fury. He had never suffered such humiliation; it made him utterly ashamed.
"Young Master, are we just going to let it go like this!"
The guard captain spoke, "Even you were taught a lesson. How can the Baili family establish itself in Juling City."
"Shut up!"
The white-haired old man said with a grim face, "If it weren't for you, how would this have happened! You're just sowing discord here. That person is the true guardian god of Lord Lu of the Dragon Kingdom, and his strength is extraordinary. There will be no good outcome from opposing him!"
