"Too much nonsense, let's just fight!" Lu Fan shrugged.
"May I ask which sect you belong to, and why are you so arrogant?" Bai Yu asked, looking at Lu Fan. "You should know that the Qingshui Sect is no ordinary force."
"Does being a powerful immortal cultivation sect mean you can do whatever you want?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Today, I will protect them. Anyone who dares to make a move will be killed without mercy!"
"You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" Zhao Dahai couldn't stand it. He stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura. As a Seven-Star Spirit Master, he was a top talent among the younger generation, and he naturally wouldn't take Lu Fan seriously.
Unfortunately, Lu Fan stood his ground, not showing much tension, even appearing calm and composed.
At that very moment, two streams of spiritual energy surged around Lu Fan, forcefully repelling Zhao Dahai, who had no time to react.
Seeing this, Bai Yu was even more shocked. He knew Zhao Dahai's strength very well. For Lu Fan to reach this level, he must not be an ordinary person.
Pfft...
Zhao Dahai spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Lu Fan fiercely. "Who exactly are you? How can you possess such strength?"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you won't be leaving Niutian Village today!" Lu Fan's eyes held a murderous intent. He didn't want to deal with Zhao Dahai, but Zhao Dahai was unappreciative. He didn't mind letting Zhao Dahai meet an untimely end.
"Senior Sister Bai Yu, I'm counting on you!" Zhao Dahai looked at Bai Yu. He knew that Bai Yu was a Nine-Star Spirit Master, an absolute authority within the Qingshui Sect, and no disciple could contend with her.
"Are you sure you want to make a move?" Lu Fan looked at Bai Yu, his eyes filled with murderous intent and a powerful aura.
As he spoke, Bai Yu's expression changed slightly. He could clearly feel Lu Fan's suppression.
"I..." Bai Yu blushed. As the senior disciple of the Qingshui Sect, being threatened like this, she dared not make a move, feeling quite aggrieved.
"Senior Sister Bai Yu, what are you hesitating for!" Zhao Dahai spoke again. "You are a Nine-Star expert!"
"This is your family affair, and I shouldn't get too involved!" Bai Yu said. "I'll wait for you outside!" With that, Bai Yu retreated shamefacedly towards the village exit. She could feel the aura emanating from Lu Fan. If she made a move, her fate would be the same as Zhao Dahai's.
Zhao Dahai stood frozen, utterly incredulous. Bai Yu was known for her arrogance within the Qingshui Sect, but her aura now was completely gone. Facing such a gaze, Bai Yu didn't retort. In the face of life, dignity was worthless. He knew very well that if he made a move, it was uncertain whether he could leave alive today.
Since Lu Fan dared to make a move, he naturally had no fear.
"It seems your last hope is extinguished!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Do you feel desperate?"
"Don't get carried away!" Zhao Dahai said coldly. "Do you dare to kill me? I am a disciple of the Qingshui Sect!"
"Since I dared to make a move, I've never feared anything!" Lu Fan sneered. "Now that you've said that, I can fulfill your wish!" With that, Lu Fan strode towards Zhao Dahai, showing no intention of holding back.
The villagers of Niutian Village stood by, their hearts filled with shock. They had expected Lu Fan to be at a disadvantage, but now they realized they were wrong, terribly wrong.
"I can give you another chance. Kneel down, kowtow, and swear that you will never come to Niutian Village again!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Only then can I spare your life. Otherwise, you might be buried here today!"
"What a huge joke!" Zhao Dahai said coldly. "I am the esteemed inner disciple of the Qingshui Sect. You want me to kneel and apologize?"
"It seems you don't value your life at all!" Lu Fan shrugged helplessly. "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light surged from Lu Fan's palm, carrying an unparalleled killing intent.
"You dare..." Zhao Dahai's voice trembled. He could feel the killing intent, but he still couldn't believe Lu Fan would do such a thing.
"There is nothing in this world I dare not do!" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, and he moved without a care. In an instant, he was in front of Zhao Dahai. Zhao Dahai wanted to retaliate but was sent flying by Lu Fan's palm.
Seeing this, the Zhao family members rushed forward to help, only to find that Zhao Dahai was already dead.
"You... you actually killed the Second Young Master!" The Zhao family members were incredulous. In the entire Qingshui Town, the Zhao family held absolute power, and no one had ever dared to do such a thing. Yet today, it had happened, and so realistically, even Zhao Dahai had met his end.
"Not only will I kill him, but I won't spare you either!" Lu Fan said with a faint smile. "After all, with you people around, I can't leave with peace of mind!" With his words, Lu Fan moved with uncanny steps, eliminating all the Zhao family members in a few swift movements.
Watching the scene unfold, Bai Yu's legs felt weak. Although she was a peerless prodigy of the Qingshui Sect and had experienced battles before, she never expected Lu Fan to be so clean and decisive, never dragging things out.
Within Niutian Village, the villagers were also terrified. The entire Zhao family had been wiped out, and it happened in Niutian Village, which left them stunned.
"You killed Junior Brother Zhao, and Master will not let you go!" Bai Yu's face turned ashen as she spoke.
"If I get rid of you too, won't anyone know it was me?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"No, no!" Bai Yu retreated backward. "I don't want to die yet!"
"If that's the case, then give me a solution!" Lu Fan said with a faint smile. "Or give me a reason not to kill you."
"I have no enmity with you, and besides, if something truly happens, Master will definitely send people here. Even if you leave, the people of Niutian Village will be implicated!" Bai Yu said hastily. "As long as you spare me, I can help you cover it up!"
"How can you help me?" Lu Fan asked again. "If you can give me a plausible explanation, I might consider it."
"Junior Brother Zhao and I were attacked by fierce beasts when we came out this time, and he died in the end!" Bai Yu explained. "After all, such things are normal, and Master won't be suspicious. All the members of the Zhao family have been silenced, so no one will come forward to lodge a complaint!"
"You are very clever!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "That's a good idea. You've successfully saved yourself!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Bai Yu quickly expressed her gratitude. She was utterly terrified, and to be able to keep her life now was already a great fortune.
