"With just the few of you, you think you can block my path!" Yan Cangtian said coldly, "Do you think too highly of yourselves!"
The expressions of the three elders changed. Yan Cangtian had only used one move to put them in such a sorry state. If Elder Wuji and the Great Elder of Black Bear Country attacked together, they would be unable to resist.
Indeed, the overall strength of Dragon Country was too weak, and compared to other countries, it was even more vulnerable.
"Elder Yan, finish them off quickly!" Elder Wuji urged, "That brat should be arriving soon. Once we kill him, the many martial artists of Dragon Country will surely be routed!"
Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes, a surge of powerful energy coursing through his palm. He would not be merciful, especially at this critical juncture.
The Third Elder's face was grim. The gap between them and Yan Cangtian was too great. Even if they wanted to resist desperately, it would be of no use. In the face of true powerhouses, the weak would become mere ants.
The many martial arts experts of Dragon Country also engaged in fierce combat. Seeing the crisis of the three elders, they were filled with despair. They knew very well that if the elders were defeated, the entire Outer Realm battlefield would fall into the hands of the three alliances.
Rumble...
A massive collision sound echoed. Everyone thought that the three elders of Dragon Country were about to be killed, but a towering figure appeared, blocking in front of the three elders. With a powerful inner force, he clashed with Yan Cangtian.
In that instant, Yan Cangtian and Lu Fan retreated, both inwardly shocked, their gazes fixed on Lu Fan.
Among the many War Kings, there were probably very few who could withstand his palm strike. Yet, Lu Fan could clash with him, even holding his own. This made his expression turn grim.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the guardian deity of Dragon Country!" Yan Cangtian sneered, "No wonder you have such a title. You are indeed no ordinary person!"
"I dare not accept such praise," Lu Fan shrugged, "This is a great honor, but I cannot bear it!"
"Little Lu, be very careful, this person is extremely powerful!"
The Ninth Elder spoke, "Do not try to be a hero!"
The other elders also nodded. After a fierce struggle, they were already heavily injured and could not help Lu Fan. For a moment, they suddenly felt how useless they were. As elders of Dragon Country, they could not protect it. If not for Lu Fan's presence, Dragon Country's stronghold would have already been shattered.
"Don't worry, elders. With me here, I will not let him act recklessly!" Lu Fan nodded and smiled, "You can rest and heal on the side!"
"What arrogant words!" Yan Cangtian narrowed his eyes, "Do you really think you can control me!"
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but the 10 War Kings who came from Cang Qiong Country to reinforce have all died by my hand!" Lu Fan chuckled, "You will be next!"
"It seems my guess was correct!" Yan Cangtian's expression turned cold, "You dare to kill the elders of Cang Qiong Country!"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Cang Qiong Country invades Dragon Country, how can I let you have it easy!"
"Very good!"
Yan Cangtian nodded, "You will pay the price for your actions!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "If you truly have the ability, feel free to attack. Since I dared to kill them, I dare to kill you as well!"
Yan Cangtian was furious. Let alone Lu Fan, even within Cang Qiong Country, no one dared to speak to him like this. He was only one step away from becoming a War Emperor, a supreme being in the world. How could he tolerate being insulted?
With that thought, Yan Cangtian drew his battle saber, and a powerful saber aura slashed towards Lu Fan. It appeared like surging waves, creating a chasm in its wake. Many martial arts experts retreated, and those who couldn't escape in time would perish, whether they were from Dragon Country or the three alliances.
"What powerful domineering aura!"
The Great Elder of Black Bear Country exclaimed in surprise, "With Elder Yan's skills, he will surely kill him!"
"I don't think so!" Elder Wuji shook his head, "This brat is extraordinary and not an ordinary person. Last time I fought him, his strength was not as good as mine. Now, when I face him, I am not his match. If he continues to grow at this rate, he will surely be a great threat in the future."
"In that case, let us attack together!" The Great Elder of Black Bear Country said, "If we cannot kill him, our Black Bear Country will also be quite apprehensive. If one day he causes trouble for Black Bear Country, wouldn't that be even more troublesome!"
"I have the same intention!" Elder Wuji stated, "Now is the best opportunity."
As soon as the words fell, Elder Wuji kicked towards Lu Fan. As one of the most powerful elders of Hai Country, his strength was not to be underestimated. Although not as good as Yan Cangtian, he was not far off.
The Great Elder of Black Bear Country also joined the battle, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan with intense killing intent. Since they had already attacked Dragon Country, they could not give Dragon Country a chance to recover, otherwise, Black Bear Country would surely face annihilation in the future.
He was very clear about this, otherwise, he would not have been so diligent.
"Bullying the young and the weak, ganging up on the few, this is your usual practice!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
Even with his immense power, he was at a disadvantage facing three such formidable opponents.
Lu Fan had not yet stepped into the Emperor realm. If he were to face Yan Cangtian alone, it would be an even match. With the addition of these few, in a prolonged battle, Lu Fan might not be able to withstand it.
"Do they really think Dragon Country has no one!"
Just then, a vast voice sounded, and the Fourth Elder appeared. His hair was white, and he wore ancient armor, exuding an imposing aura.
"Fourth Elder!"
The many martial arts experts of Dragon Country were shocked and filled with joy. They had not expected the Fourth Elder to come to the Outer Realm battlefield.
Among the many elders of Dragon Country, apart from the three elders in seclusion, the Fourth Elder was the strongest, infinitely close to the War Emperor. With the Fourth Elder here now, they had a greater chance of winning.
"Fourth Elder of Dragon Country!" Yan Cangtian sneered, "It seems Dragon Country is truly depleted, even their stationed experts have come out to fight!"
"Cang Qiong Country is truly audacious. Three elders of our Dragon Country are in seclusion. Once they complete their seclusion, we will hold you accountable for this matter!" the Fourth Elder said coldly, "Dragon Country is not a nation to be bullied!"
"The Fourth Elder has a good tongue!" Yan Cangtian sneered, "If Dragon Country truly had three elders, they would have come out of seclusion long ago, and would not have reached this desperate situation!"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Seventh Elder frowned, "Are you questioning my Dragon Country?"
"I want to ask, among the many elders, have you all seen the top three elders of Dragon Country?" Yan Cangtian said coldly, "Our Cang Qiong Country has records stating that the top three elders of Dragon Country have already passed away. Dragon Country's concealment of this information was merely to preserve its national destiny and deter other countries from acting rashly!"
The elders of Dragon Country trembled and looked at the Fourth Elder. Even they began to doubt whether Yan Cangtian's words were true.
