"Kill me or skin me alive, I have nothing to say now that I've fallen into your hands," Tie Bao said directly.
The disciples of the Tie Shan Sect faced death as if it were their destiny. Now in a desperate situation, they had nothing to fear. Sect struggles were like this; to grow, one had to step over the corpses of their enemies to advance.
"We do not wish to be involved!"
Lu Fan spoke, "Please mind yourselves!"
"Little fellow, you think you can avoid involvement just because you don't wish to participate?"
The bald man sneered, "My Beiji Sect is not someone you can offend. With just those words you spoke, you deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces."
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, becoming even more indifferent, "I'm afraid you cannot touch me."
"This is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant!"
The bald man laughed loudly and strode towards Lu Fan, intending to take his head. In the Triangle Domain, such incidents were common, and no one found it strange. Those with lower strength could only be bullied, their lives even precarious.
Boom...
Before the bald man could get close to Lu Fan, he was sent flying by a powerful surge of internal energy, not even knowing what had happened.
Pfft...
He spat out a mouthful of blood and died tragically. The crowd was even more terrified, especially Elder Hu Qiu. As an elder of the Beiji Sect, how could he tolerate such a thing happening?
"I am not a member of your sect, yet you seek to exterminate me."
Lu Fan said coldly, "It seems I've been too lenient?"
"Attack together and deal with this brat."
Elder Hu Qiu spoke coldly. Lu Fan's actions were simply slapping the Beiji Sect in the face, and he could not tolerate it.
At that very moment, the members of the Beiji Sect stepped forward, surging towards Lu Fan with overwhelming auras.
Lu Fan, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, dared to kill someone from the Beiji Sect. Today would surely be his death day.
"You retreat to the side."
Lu Fan said to Hu Yu, his aura instantly radiating outwards. In the blink of an eye, those who approached him were reduced to nothingness, burned to ashes.
"How is this possible!"
Elder Hu Qiu was greatly shocked. He could not have imagined that Lu Fan's strength was so formidable, capable of killing many powerful figures from the Beiji Sect in an instant, and without mercy.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Since you insist on causing me trouble, then all of you will stay here today; not a single one will be allowed to leave."
"What an arrogant tone!"
Elder Hu Qiu snorted and prepared to act personally. As a Venerable, his status was extremely noble. In his eyes, Lu Fan was merely an ordinary powerful individual, whom he would not take seriously at all.
"Young brother, be careful!"
Tie Bao reminded him, "His strength is not weak. You should flee quickly to avoid undeserved disaster."
"Thank you for the reminder, but they are not qualified to do so."
Lu Fan smiled coldly, and the holy fire on his palm surged again. Let alone a mere Venerable, even an Earth Venerable, Lu Fan would not put them in his eyes.
At that instant, Elder Hu Qiu stopped abruptly, a look of terror on his face. He could clearly feel that Lu Fan's strength was extraordinary and not something he could contend with.
Judging by his aura alone, Lu Fan had already firmly suppressed him, and coupled with that strange holy fire, it was even more terrifying.
"Go, quickly go!"
Elder Hu Qiu shouted, his heart filled with panic. He had wanted to kill Lu Fan to establish his authority, but now it seemed he had been too naive. Lu Fan's strength was far superior to his, and he was not someone he could kill.
"Trying to leave, it's not that easy!"
Lu Fan smiled coldly, his eyes becoming even colder, "The moment you chose to attack me, you were destined not to escape."
"I am a person of the Beiji Sect."
Elder Hu Qiu said coldly, "If anything happens to me today, the Beiji Sect will never let you go."
"Do you think I care about that?"
Lu Fan shrugged, "When you chose to attack me, you were destined to die here."
Lu Fan suddenly strode out, and in an instant, he was beside Elder Hu Qiu.
"You can't kill me!"
Elder Hu Qiu shouted, his spiritual energy surging wildly, filled with desperation. He knew very well that if Lu Fan unleashed his full power, he would not be able to resist.
With a scream, Elder Hu Qiu died tragically.
Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Beiji Sect were filled with fear. They had clearly not expected Elder Hu Qiu to die so miserably.
"Men of the Tie Shan Sect, obey my command! Surround and kill the members of the Beiji Sect, do not let any of them leave!"
Seeing that the opportunity had arrived, Tie Bao shouted to the members of the Tie Shan Sect and charged out, even though he was injured.
The members of the Tie Shan Sect, as if injected with chicken blood, surged towards the disciples of the Beiji Sect. They had been in a desperate situation moments ago, filled with despair. Lu Fan's appearance had given them a turning point.
In an instant, the forest was filled with the sounds of fighting, and all the disciples of the Beiji Sect perished.
Witnessing this scene, Tie Bao was even more overjoyed. What was supposed to be a certain death situation had now been broken by Lu Fan.
"I wonder which sect you belong to, my lord?"
Tie Bao cupped his fists, his eyes serious.
"No sect, no affiliation!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "If there's nothing else, I should be going. As for my intervention, you do not need to thank me, as I did not act for your sake!"
"My lord speaks wisely!"
Tie Bao quickly nodded, "I presume you are not from the Triangle Domain. This Triangle Domain is full of mixed powers, and one needs connections for even the slightest matter. If you don't mind, you could come with me to the Tie Shan Sect, and perhaps our Sect Master can get acquainted with you!"
"Tie Shan Sect?"
Lu Fan frowned slightly, "In the Triangle Domain, does your Tie Shan Sect count as first-rate?"
"This..."
Tie Bao chuckled awkwardly, "It cannot be considered so. It's only a second-rate force!"
"Never mind, I'm not familiar with the Triangle Domain. Why don't you lead the way? I can visit the Tie Shan Sect on the way!" Lu Fan shrugged.
"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, my lord!"
Tie Bao quickly expressed his gratitude, filled with joy. Lu Fan had no affiliation, and with such strength, if he were to join the Tie Shan Sect, even becoming a Deputy Sect Master, no one would dare to object.
Thinking of this, Tie Bao felt he had made a huge profit on this outing.
"Aren't we going to Tongtian Academy?"
Hu Yu asked in surprise, "Why are we going to the Tie Shan Sect?"
"Tongtian Academy is in the Triangle Domain, but we don't know its location!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "Let's follow them back to their sect, and then we can ask for clarification!"
"I see!"
Hu Yu instantly understood and quite approved of Lu Fan's approach.
"My lord, you are so young yet possess such strength. You must be someone of considerable status!"
Tie Bao stepped forward and said with a smile, "If I were to suggest to the Sect Master that you become the Deputy Sect Master of our Tie Shan Sect, what would be your inclination?"
