"Rest assured, Patriarch Shen. Even if experts from the Northern Sea Pavilion come in person, I will ensure the Jiang family's safety!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.
Patriarch Shen's expression shifted. He hadn't expected that even the three great hidden sects wouldn't make Lu Fan flinch.
"Big brother, I don't think this kid will respond to reason!"
Shen Laosan spoke, "Why don't we forcefully eliminate him, to avoid future troubles!"
"Do you think killing him is that simple?"
Patriarch Shen frowned. "With the methods he displayed just now, if we were to truly fight, even I might not be his match!"
Shen Laosan trembled. He hadn't anticipated Patriarch Shen would speak in such a manner.
If that were the case, to what level had Lu Fan's strength reached that caused Patriarch Shen such apprehension?
"Patriarch Shen, you seem to still have reservations?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If you don't dare to make a move, why not go invite experts from the Northern Sea Pavilion to help you!"
Patriarch Shen's face turned ashen. "What an arrogant brat! Today, I'll let you know that words come with a price!"
Patriarch Shen's anger surged. He took a step forward, exuding a formidable aura. As a Grandmaster of Great Accomplishment, his strength was extraordinary.
Shen Laosan's face lit up with joy. Now that Patriarch Shen had finally made a move, they could kill Lu Fan. In doing so, the humiliation he suffered today would be erased.
"I think this fellow's strength is formidable. Big brother might not be his match!"
Shen Lao'er spoke, "Today, the Shen family is likely in great peril!"
"Second brother, look at what you're saying. You and I are well aware of big brother's strength!" Shen Laosan stated directly, "He has more than enough capability to deal with this brat!"
Shen Lao'er felt helpless and did not speak further. In truth, he was acutely aware that while Patriarch Shen was powerful, he would inevitably be defeated when facing an even stronger opponent.
At this moment, Patriarch Shen had already reached Lu Fan, intending to end Lu Fan's life with a single punch.
But in an instant, Lu Fan's figure vanished from his original position, astonishing everyone. They had no idea what kind of technique this was, and their expressions turned grim.
"What's happening? Mr. Lu!" Patriarch Jiang exclaimed.
The others present also looked incredulous. Only Patriarch Shen remained on high alert, knowing very well that he had encountered the most formidable opponent of his life and could not afford the slightest carelessness.
"Big brother, be careful!"
Shen Lao'er shouted, his face instantly changing. Unfortunately, it was all too late.
*Boom...*
A deafening roar erupted. Patriarch Shen was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In the face of absolute power, all of this became meaningless.
"Big brother!"
Shen Laosan rushed forward, holding Patriarch Shen in his arms, his expression filled with regret. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would never have let Patriarch Shen make a move.
Lu Fan stood by, his expression indifferent, completely unbothered.
Among those present, only the Jiang family members cheered, their hearts filled with excitement. They had never imagined Lu Fan's strength to be so formidable.
Jiang Meili was also stunned. Initially, in Longdu, Lu Fan had seemed like an ordinary young man to her. But now, she realized how wrong she had been.
As Patriarch Shen breathed his last, the Shen family members instantly panicked. They knew very well what it meant for their patriarch to be killed.
This was the Shen family's strongest fighter, who had been defeated with a single blow by Lu Fan. How could they accept such a situation?
*Whoosh!*
At that moment, a signal flare, like a firework, shot into the sky. Everyone looked towards the flare with shock in their eyes. Only Shen Lao'er revealed a cold smile.
"This is..."
Shen Laosan blinked in surprise, then his face lit up with joy. "The Shen Family Summoning Order!"
"That's right!"
Shen Lao'er stated, "Once the signal flare is out, the Northern Sea Pavilion will dispatch experts!"
Shen Laosan's face was filled with delight. "With this, they won't be able to escape today. Offending us means certain death!"
The Shen family members were instantly filled with righteous indignation and burning anger. With the support of the Northern Sea Pavilion, they could be fearless and no longer fear Lu Fan.
"The Northern Sea Pavilion's signal flare!"
Third Uncle's face turned ashen. He quickly looked at Lu Fan. "Mr. Lu, please leave quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if our Jiang family is annihilated, we thank Mr. Lu for his life-saving grace!"
"Please leave, sir!"
The Jiang family members clasped their fists and knelt before Lu Fan. Lu Fan had fought for the Jiang family and killed the Shen family patriarch.
If the Northern Sea Pavilion's experts truly arrived, Lu Fan's life would be in danger, and this was something the Jiang family did not wish to see.
"I said before, I'm getting involved in this matter!" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "No one can stop me, no matter who they are!"
The Jiang family members were instantly filled with despair, unsure of what to do. Although Lu Fan's strength was heaven-defying, the Northern Sea Pavilion was from one of the three great sects, with many reclusive experts. Such a powerful force was not something Lu Fan could contend with.
"What a bold statement!"
Shen Laosan said coldly, "You killed my elder brother, and you will pay for it with your blood!"
"You talk too much!"
Lu Fan chuckled coldly. With a mere raise of his hand, he unleashed an internal force that swept towards Shen Laosan.
Before Shen Laosan could react, his arm was severed at the waist, and he let out a pained cry.
"Third brother!"
Shen Lao'er rushed forward, his face turning ashen. With just a wave of his hand, Lu Fan had taken off Shen Laosan's arm. What kind of power was this? It was unheard of, unseen, and it filled him with dread.
"With your actions, our Shen family cannot do anything to you, but the Northern Sea Pavilion will surely not let you go!" Shen Lao'er's expression was icy.
Their Shen family was about to become an affiliated force of the Northern Sea Pavilion, otherwise, there wouldn't be a Northern Sea Pavilion signal flare. Now that the signal flare had been fired, it was likely that many experts from the Northern Sea Pavilion would arrive soon.
Lu Fan remained undaunted, standing in his place like a peerless divine king.
"I'll wait here. Even if experts from the Northern Sea Pavilion arrive, what can they do to me!"
The Shen family members were filled with bloodlust. As long as Lu Fan remained here, he would likely die a violent death before long. Their Shen family's dignity could not be violated.
The Jiang family members had mixed feelings. For their family, Lu Fan had killed the Shen family patriarch and was now offending the people of the Northern Sea Pavilion. If they were truly implicated because of this, how could the Jiang family ever repay him? Su Dan Novel Network.
Jiang Meili stood by, wanting to persuade Lu Fan but unsure how to express herself, she could only watch silently.
After a while, dozens of figures surged from the direction of the Northern Sea Pavilion. Each of them wore black clothes, appearing spirited and exuding an aura of swift killing.
The people present also felt a sense of killing intent, which sent a chill down their spines. The experts of the Northern Sea Pavilion were indeed extraordinary. Even if they were not true high-ranking members, they were enough to awe the martial world.
Looking at the figures in the dark night, Shen Lao'er's expression also turned grim. With the arrival of many Northern Sea Pavilion experts, their Shen family would surely turn the tide.
