"Since things have come to this, why waste so many words."
Lu Fan squinted his eyes. "It's better to just make a move. I'd like to see if your Chen family and the Li family combined can kill me!"
"You brat are too arrogant, who do you think you are? You think our two great families would bother to deal with you?" Chen Jianbei said coldly. "You really think highly of yourself!"
Lu Fan smiled slightly. "I may be nothing, but one day I will make your Chen family pay the price!"
Lu Fan's figure shot up into the sky, wanting to forcefully break through to the outside of the city. He knew very well that as long as he left, the two great families would not easily lay hands on Ling'er.
"You want to leave? Let's see where you go!" The Chen family head's voice was icy, and he reached out to grab Lu Fan, exuding a powerful aura.
At the same time, the Li family head attacked the Zhao family head. This was the only way to control the Zhao family head, and only then could he be of use. After Lu Fan was dealt with, the entire Xuan Emperor City would belong to him. This was naturally a great joy for him.
Ling'er's eyes were filled with worry. Lu Fan's directness might cause endless trouble, and he might even lose his life on the spot.
"What should we do!"
His face instantly turned ashen. Lei Batian spoke, "What should we do? If this continues, we might not even be able to defend the Xuan Emperor Mansion!"
"No matter when, do not panic!" Steward Wu spoke. "Even in this moment, you should remain calmer. Only then can you handle things!"
Lei Batian nodded slightly, but his heart was filled with worry. The situation had reached this point, which unsettled him greatly. To protect Ling'er's safety, they were prepared to go all out.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan was trying to break through the formation but was instantly repelled. This formation was extremely strange and not something Lu Fan could easily deal with. At the same time, the Chen family head laughed heartily, "Since I've already set up this formation here, I never thought you could leave. You brat are likely trapped with no escape today!"
"I really didn't expect you to go to such lengths to deal with me!" Lu Fan squinted his eyes. "However, I wonder if you can completely suppress me!"
"Your courage is great, so great that it surprises me!"
The Chen family head said coldly, "Dealing with you is as simple as waving a finger. The fact that you escaped before was due to my momentary carelessness. But now it's different!"
"I don't think anything is different!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze even more indifferent, as if in his eyes, all of this was ordinary.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The Chen family head snorted and directly lunged at Lu Fan. His attack was incredibly sharp, and a gust of wind followed his every move.
Facing this ferocious attack, Lu Fan quickly dodged. However, against a Half-Emperor, he was still too weak and had no power to resist.
Boom…
With a resounding boom, Lu Fan was slammed violently against the city wall, his body sinking deeply into it. He had never expected the Chen family head to be so powerful, far beyond his capabilities.
"Lu Fan!"
Ling'er cried out, her heart filled with anxiety. She had never imagined that things would turn out this way, catching her off guard.
"Today, I will make you die!"
The Chen family head's voice was cold, and he stepped forward again, exuding a powerful aura. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Lu Fan again, intending to kill him.
At the same time, Ling'er stepped in front of Lu Fan. "If you want to kill him, then kill me first. I want to see if you have the guts!"
"Miss Ling'er, don't force my hand!" The Chen family head's voice was chilling as he looked at Ling'er, his gaze filled with killing intent.
"If you have the ability, then act. Why are you being so hesitant!"
Ling'er did not flinch, her eyes solemn. It seemed that in her eyes, all of this was insignificant, or perhaps she believed the Chen family head would not dare to act rashly.
"Since you are seeking death, then do not blame me!" The Chen family head did not hesitate. A surge of spiritual energy from his hand shot directly towards Ling'er. With the Xuan Emperor no longer present, dealing with Ling'er was simply a matter of his fingertips.
With the entire Xuan Emperor City about to change hands, Ling'er's life or death was of no importance to him, and he would not care.
Sensing the powerful aura, Ling'er's eyes were filled with disbelief. She never expected the Chen family head to attack her, and so brazenly, clearly intending to not stop.
"Miss!" Steward Wu and the others shouted, their hearts filled with extreme anxiety. They had never imagined that things would escalate to this point, completely beyond their control.
"Protect the young lady, we must not let anything happen to her!" Steward Wu's voice rang out, and many guards from the City Lord's Mansion stepped forward, not daring to delay. They knew very well that if Ling'er were to die tragically, it would be their dereliction of duty, a disgrace to them.
As guards of the City Lord's Mansion, if they couldn't even protect their own master, how could they possibly protect anyone else.
It was a pity that before these guards could get close, they were sent flying by a palm strike from the Chen family head, appearing to have no resistance whatsoever. "You lowly fools dare to block my path!"
The Chen family head walked step by step towards Ling'er. He hadn't intended to kill Ling'er, but since she was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, trying to protect Lu Fan, he would not stand for it.
In that instant, the Chen family head's fist struck out with immense force, blasting towards Ling'er. There was no hesitation whatsoever. In the blink of an eye, this aura surged. Before anyone could react, Ling'er's figure vanished from her original spot. When everyone looked around, they discovered another figure of Lu Fan, carrying Ling'er to an open space, having seemingly escaped this calamity once more.
"How is this possible!"
Chen Jianbei, seeing the scene before him, his eyes filled with a hint of panic. He had clearly seen Lu Fan being smashed into the city wall earlier, so how could there be another figure now? And judging by his appearance, he didn't seem to be injured.
"Yi Qi Hua San Qing!"
The Chen family head frowned. He had not expected Lu Fan to do such a thing right under his nose, and he found it unacceptable.
"You are correct, it is indeed Yi Qi Hua San Qing!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression quite meaningful, as if in his eyes, all of this was insignificant.
"You brat have quite the guts!" The Chen family head said coldly.
