"Sect Master!"
The crowd shouted, their voices filled with terror. They could never have imagined that the Sect Master Lieyang would have an arm severed. They knew he was a third-tier Battle Emperor, even more formidable than ordinary Battle Emperors.
Sect Master Lieyang retreated slightly, clutching his severed arm, his resentment palpable. "You dare to lay hands on me! And so mercilessly!"
"I already said, if you insist on this, then do not blame me for being ruthless!" Lu Fan said coldly, "I always keep my word, never dragging my feet!"
"The Lieyang Sect will remember this debt!"
Sect Master Lieyang spoke with a chilling tone, "One day, I will tear you to pieces and make the entire Dragon Dynasty pay!"
Sect Master Lieyang's face was ashen, filled with immense displeasure. Unfortunately, he was no match for Lu Fan and could only retreat for now. Dealing with Lu Fan would have to wait for another day.
"I did not wish to take your lives, but you spoke such words!"
Lu Fan sneered, "If I let you leave easily today, will I not have to bear your wrath in the future?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Sect Master Lieyang paused, his eyes burning with anger. He had never been treated this way before. Having his right arm severed by Lu Fan was an immense humiliation.
"Naturally, I mean to take your lives!"
Lu Fan's sword intent surged, and he charged towards Sect Master Lieyang. If the roots are not removed, they will grow back with the spring breeze. Lu Fan deeply understood this saying.
He had not intended to kill, but Sect Master Lieyang's words were enough for Lu Fan to show no mercy.
Sect Master Lieyang was greatly shocked. He never expected Lu Fan to want him dead.
The members of the Lieyang Sect were also stunned, and they all moved to resist.
Sect Master Lieyang was severely wounded. With Lu Fan's overwhelming power, a single mistake could lead to his demise at Lu Fan's hands.
*Swish, swish, swish!*
A series of whistling sounds filled the air. Several powerful figures from the Lieyang Sect instantly met their end, unable to withstand Lu Fan's powerful onslaught.
"Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother!"
Sect Master Lieyang cried out in grief and indignation. Lu Fan's ruthless actions filled him with a desire for vengeance.
"If the Lieyang Sect had not intervened, this would not have happened!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Since the ancient sects wish to interfere in the affairs of the dynasty, today the Lieyang Sect will be our banner!"
As Lu Fan's words fell, several more figures fell. Only Sect Master Lieyang remained alive. All other members of the Lieyang Sect had turned to dust.
"Your actions will eventually be repaid!"
Sect Master Lieyang roared. With his current strength, he could do nothing to Lu Fan and could only vent his endless complaints.
"You brought this upon yourselves. If you had not trespassed into the Dragon Capital, you would not have met such an end!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "You all deserved to die."
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, showing no regard. If he did not make an example of them, many other sects from the ancient sects would come to provoke them, and the Dragon Dynasty would find it difficult to cope.
Sect Master Lieyang said no more. With his severe injuries, he wanted to flee. As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn. If he could escape, he would surely return for revenge.
However, how could Lu Fan, who was so astute, let him leave so easily? In the blink of an eye, he had surrounded Sect Master Lieyang. The Tai Xu Sword Intent crisscrossed, forming a massive sword formation.
Sensing the Tai Xu Sword Intent, Sect Master Lieyang's face turned ashen. With his current wounded state, how could he resist Lu Fan's might?
*Boom...*
With a deafening roar, Sect Master Lieyang was sent flying backward and met his demise. In the face of a true master, all strength turned to nothing.
Looking at the person before him, Lu Fan remained unmoved. If they had not courted death, they would not have met such an end. He had no pity for these people.
Meanwhile, at the North Gate, several elders of the Dragon Country personally took action, suppressing many experts, but they were filled with worry.
Within the entire North Gate, there was still a group of people who had not acted, quietly observing them. These were the beings with the strongest auras. If they were to act, the elders might not be able to resist them.
They understood this clearly and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
"I truly did not expect a mere Dragon Country to aspire to become the Dragon Dynasty!"
Among that group of people, a man in black said coldly, "Are you not digging your own graves?"
"This is the affair of our Dragon Dynasty, what concern is it of yours!" the Third Elder said coldly, "If you retreat, the Dragon Dynasty will not pursue the matter further. Otherwise, we will make you pay the price. Trespassing into the Dragon Capital without permission, the Dragon Dynasty will never let it slide!"
"With you useless people?"
The leader of the black-clothed men sneered. Where he passed, a chill wind blew, making it impossible to guard against. His ghostly figure was truly unsettling.
"Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, you must be very careful. These people are likely not to be trifled with!"
The Third Elder spoke, his gaze filled with seriousness. "If anything goes wrong, retreat quickly, do not engage them in a prolonged fight!"
Upon hearing this, the elders nodded, their expressions slightly perturbed. They could clearly see that these people meant trouble.
Although they had approached the realm of Battle Emperors through the blessing of national destiny, they were also acutely aware that the people before them were extraordinary. It was likely that there were Battle Emperor experts among them. If that were the case, their combined strength of three might not be enough to control the situation.
After a fierce struggle, the three elders suddenly retreated, their faces instantly becoming grave. These people attacked with extreme ruthlessness, and a moment's carelessness could lead to severe injuries.
"Resolve them quickly!"
A hoarse voice sounded. The leader of the black-clothed men remained expressionless, standing still without making a move. If he were to act, the elders' strength would be utterly insufficient.
The several black-clothed men did not hesitate. In the blink of an eye, they appeared before the Third Elder. Like ghosts, as the Third Elder was about to strike, the figure instantly vanished. However, behind the Third Elder, a surge of internal energy was hidden, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
*Boom...*
A bombardment sound suddenly erupted. The Third Elder was sent flying, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth. He looked behind him in shock but saw no one.
At this very moment, the Fourth Elder and Seventh Elder were also severely wounded. These people possessed strange movements and were no ordinary individuals. Dealing with them would be no easy task.
"With just this little strength, you dare to establish a dynasty!"
The hoarse voice sounded again. The leader of the black-clothed men's expression was indifferent. The elders were merely playthings in his hands.
"Even if we die, we must not let them pass!"
The Third Elder spoke with a resolve to die. The situation had reached this point, and they would not retreat an inch, even if it meant their demise.
"Seeking death!"
The leader of the black-clothed men's expression was cold as he transformed into a stream of light and moved towards the three elders.
