"So you fear me. I never expected a mighty Emperor-level expert to be afraid of me!" Lu Fan laughed heartily, "It's a pity you are only a Half-Emperor. If you were a true Emperor-level expert, you might actually be able to kill me!"
"What if I'm only a Half-Emperor? I believe it's more than enough!"
The Chen family head sneered, "You are merely a Great Sage. Do you truly believe you can overpower me, a Half-Emperor?"
"Perhaps I can't overpower you, but you will find it's not so easy to capture me!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint within them.
"I have met many arrogant people in my life, but never have I encountered someone as arrogant as you!"
The Chen family head chuckled coldly, "You truly surprise me. To reach the Great Sage realm at your age is already quite an accomplishment. To have such fortune now is… remarkable!"
"Honestly, I didn't want to be your enemy. It's just that your Chen family doesn't seem to think that way!" Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang
Lu Fan shrugged, "Since that's the case, there can only be a fight. Only through battle can everything be settled!"
"A fight?"
The Chen family head burst into laughter, "Are you mad, young man? You wish to fight me? What right do you have?"
"Whether I have the right or not is not for you to decide!" Lu Fan said coldly, "Although you are a Half-Emperor expert, I still want to give it a try!"
At these words, the Chen family head's expression changed instantly, tinged with anger. He had never imagined Lu Fan would be so audacious, to the point of not even taking him seriously, a true Emperor-level expert.
With this thought, the Chen family head didn't hesitate. His aura surged, emanating a powerful pressure that bore down on Lu Fan. Wherever it passed, an immense momentum followed.
Witnessing this, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He retreated backward. He knew very well that his earlier bravado was just that – bravado. If he truly clashed with such a powerful opponent, he would likely meet a grim end.
With this realization, Lu Fan didn't hesitate. He immediately mounted his Heavenly Horse and fled in another direction. The Chen family head had already sealed off the area around Xuandi City. If Lu Fan wanted to return, it was unlikely. Therefore, he had to leave now.
"Trying to escape!"
The Chen family head sneered, "Do you think a Heavenly Horse can help you escape my grasp?"
"Why not?"
Lu Fan gave a cold smile, "Even if you possess heaven-defying abilities, you may not be able to catch me. Feel free to test it if you don't believe me!"
"Insolent fool!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, the Chen family head leaped into the air and pursued Lu Fan. Lu Fan's sheer arrogance irked him greatly. In his eyes, Lu Fan was merely a plaything.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures vanished. Chen Jianbei and the others, who wished to give chase, found themselves with no opportunity, feeling a sense of helplessness. "I had hoped to see this brat meet his doom. I didn't expect him to run so fast. I wonder if Father can defeat him!"
"You underestimate your father too much!" Second Master Chen said coldly, "He is a Half-Emperor expert. ordinary Great Sage experts are nothing to him. As long as he wishes it, that brat is as good as dead!"
"With your words, Uncle, I am reassured!"
Chen Jianbei nodded, his gaze becoming more serious. For their Chen family, things had to end well at this point.
As long as Lu Fan died, their Chen family wouldn't have to worry too much, and their status could be solidified. More importantly, their vengeance for that sword strike would be achieved, bringing them great joy.
"There's something I'm unsure whether to say or not!" Second Master Chen spoke up, "In the future, within Xuandi City, I believe you should still lay low. After all, in recent years, there have been exceptionally talented powerhouses among the ascenders. Offending them is not a good thing!"
"Uncle, those are merely lowly ascenders. Are you afraid of them?" Chen Jianbei disagreed, stating his opinion directly and without reservation.
"It's not that I fear them, but I believe they will become powerhouses in the future, perhaps even surpassing our entire Chen family," Second Master Chen said candidly. "The reason I say this is to make you understand that some things should not be done this way!"
Facing these words, Chen Jianbei nodded solemnly, his expression growing serious. He naturally kept Second Master Chen's words in his heart, but in his opinion, those who ascended from the lower realms were still lowly, without any distinction.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan, riding his Heavenly Horse, arrived at a forest. Within this forest, Lu Fan suddenly stopped. He looked back towards the Chen family head and smiled, "I'm truly sorry, you might have been tricked!"
"Tricked?" The Chen family head laughed heartily, "You brat, you don't actually think you can escape my grasp, do you!"
"That's right!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "What I intend to do, I can achieve. So you should reflect on yourself!"
"What do you mean by that?" The Chen family head narrowed his eyes, "I don't quite understand."
"My true body is not here. What you are chasing is merely an illusion. This means I am already a hundred thousand miles away from you, and you can never kill me!" Lu Fan stated coldly.
"This is utter nonsense. Do you think I would believe your tall tales?" The Chen family head sneered, completely disbelieving. At least in his eyes, Lu Fan's words were clearly meant to deceive him.
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. The important thing is that you cannot kill me today!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
"In that case, I want to see what you've got, you brat!"
The Chen family head moved without hesitation, lunging towards Lu Fan with terrifying force. However, in that very instant, Lu Fan's figure exploded backward, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Still claiming that's not your true body!" The Chen family head laughed, "You almost tricked me."
"Do you know of the 'One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones'?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, "I can manifest three true bodies. Even if you kill one of them, I will still be alive and well!"
"One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones!"
The Chen family head's expression turned grim. Even he was unaware of such a divine technique existing in this world. If this were true, it would undoubtedly be a terrible omen for their entire Chen family, possibly inviting endless disaster.
"If you cannot kill me today, then one day, when I have grown stronger and return, I will make the Chen family pay the price!" Lu Fan said coldly, "And that is not just talk!"
The Chen family head's face turned ashen. He retreated a few steps backward, his expression darkening. If they let Lu Fan go, their Chen family would never know peace.
