Within the entire swamp, a sudden resonance of strings vibrated, causing even the dragon's roar to tremble. The terrifying surge of energy sent shivers down one's spine.
Long Yi desperately resisted, his expression heavy. He knew that if he couldn't handle this today, he would perish here. He was unwilling to accept such a fate.
Unfortunately, Instructor Hua's strings were too fast. He wanted to get closer but couldn't. His skin was even cut several times, blood flowing from his arm, and his face turned pale.
"A frog in a well dares to compete with the bright moon!"
Elder Hua scoffed endlessly. As a super expert, he didn't take Long Yi seriously. After all, every instructor at Cang Long Academy was an unparalleled expert, not someone ordinary people could resist.
Although Long Yi was unwilling and wanted to resist desperately, he was ultimately outnumbered and even showed signs of defeat.
However, at that sudden moment, dozens of leaves flew through the air, striking towards Instructor Hua with sharp gusts of wind.
Instructor Hua stood up and retreated. These leaves were like sharp swords; if touched, even he would be injured.
"Are you alright?"
Lu Fan asked, "Why were you so reckless? Someone from Cang Long Academy came, and you went to face them alone!"
Lin Ke was also by his side, with a hint of blame in her voice, "Do you even consider me a sister? How could you face such a dangerous situation alone!"
"I..."
Long Yi didn't know how to respond, but he was deeply grateful. He never expected Lu Fan to appear at his moment of crisis, and so timely.
"Who are you people?"
Instructor Hua stabilized himself. "You have quite the nerve to sneak attack me, but your strength is not bad. To unleash such energy, you are not ordinary individuals!"
"I don't care who you are from Cang Long Academy. This is the sacred land of Long Du, and you are not allowed to run amok here!" Lu Fan said coldly. "I advise you to leave quickly and not cause trouble here!"
"You have quite the mouth. Do you really think you're someone important?"
Instructor Hua sneered. "Even if the three of you are together, you are no match for me!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan shrugged. "How will we know if we don't try!"
Seeing Lu Fan's demeanor, Instructor Hua's face turned grim. As an instructor of Cang Long Academy, he had never been looked down upon like this. If this were to spread back to Cang Long Academy, his reputation would likely be damaged.
"This is my problem. You should leave quickly!"
Long Yi said, "I violated the academy's rules, and this is what I deserve. You don't need to get involved in this!"
"It's alright, we are friends!" Lin Ke said. "As long as we are united, we can definitely defeat him!"
"Impossible!"
Long Yi shook his head. "Instructor Hua is a Quasi-Emperor level expert. With our current methods, we cannot possibly achieve that!"
"Quasi-Emperor level?"
Lu Fan trembled slightly. He hadn't expected the Instructor Hua before him to be so terrifying. In ancient times, Quasi-Emperors were already unparalleled experts, and in the present, they were even more formidable.
At least in Lu Fan's knowledge, this was the only Quasi-Emperor he had ever seen. He felt excited but also a little worried.
"What, are you scared?" Instructor Hua narrowed his eyes. "If you're scared, scram quickly and don't get in the way!"
"Life and death are determined by fate. I will never retreat!"
Lin Ke said coldly. "This is our principle and our bottom line! If you don't want to fight, then leave this place!"
"Little girl, you are indeed cute!" Instructor Hua sneered. "I just wanted to give the young people a chance, but it seems unnecessary now!"
Long Yi's expression was grave. He knew Instructor Hua's strength best. If Lu Fan truly wanted to save him, he would face immense trouble. Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not have a chance.
Zheng...
At that sudden moment, a long zither melody resounded, filling the entire swamp with music. Trees were cut in half, and even the entire Long Du began to tremble, drawing the attention of countless people.
Within the Long Du headquarters, Long Aotian strode in. "Reporting to the Grand Elder, in the swamp to the southeast of Long Du, there is an unparalleled expert confronting someone!"
"Strengthen defenses and do not interfere!" the Grand Elder said. "People from ancient sects have always been ruthless. I wonder why they have appeared here!"
"Lord Lu and Miss Lin are both present!"
Long Aotian cupped his fists again. "If we do not provide support, I fear..."
"What, why is Little Lu here?" Elder Seven frowned. "Could it be that the expert is targeting Little Lu?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but it is certain that Lord Lu and Miss Lin are both present!" Long Aotian quickly cupped his fists.
The Grand Elder also fell into thought. He originally didn't want to get involved, but if the expert was targeting Lu Fan, the headquarters had no choice but to intervene.
After all, in recent years, without Lu Fan's efforts to maintain it, the Dragon Kingdom would have been annexed by the Cang Qiong Kingdom. If the Dragon Kingdom didn't help Lu Fan when he was in trouble, how could it stand in the world?
"Please, Grand Elder, issue your command!"
"Please, Grand Elder, issue your command!"
"Please, Grand Elder, issue your command!"
The elders cupped their fists, ready to face death. Even though they knew they were facing an unparalleled expert, they were not afraid, nor did they fear death.
"Little Lu cares deeply for the Dragon Kingdom. Now that he is in trouble, how can we stand by and do nothing!"
The Grand Elder's aura was imposing. "All elders, heed my command, and follow me to engage the enemy!"
"Obey the Grand Elder's orders!"
The elders all rose, their resolve unwavering.
In an instant, experts from the Dragon Kingdom headquarters emerged, heading towards the swamp with immense authority. Led by the Grand Elder, they appeared magnificent.
At this moment, many martial arts experts in Long Du also looked towards the southeast of Long Du, their eyes filled with gravity. Upon learning that Lu Fan was involved, they were even more worried.
Lu Fan was the soul of the Dragon Kingdom. If anything happened to him, how could they accept it.
As Lu Fan and the other two battled, they soon arrived at the high mountains of Long Du. Several figures leaped back and forth, locked in an intense struggle.
Although Instructor Hua was a Quasi-Emperor expert, Lu Fan and Long Yi had also reached the 9th stage of the Emperor realm in combat power. More importantly, Lin Ke possessed boundless strength, making even Instructor Hua dare not be careless. Just moments ago, he had taken a punch from Lin Ke head-on and was nearly killed.
He had begun to fear such a monster like Lin Ke and dared not be as careless as before. Otherwise, with the slightest mistake, he could perish here.
As an instructor of Cang Long Academy, to truly fall here would be a laughingstock.
