"If not for the intervention of Xuanwu Kingdom this time, Long Kingdom would surely be in crisis!"
Elder Seven cupped his fists and smiled, "Xuanwu Kingdom truly lives up to its reputation as a brother nation!"
"When Long Kingdom is in trouble, how can Xuanwu Kingdom not help!" Elder Yeshan spoke, "Without Long Kingdom, Xuanwu Kingdom would also cease to exist!"
"It is indeed admirable that Xuanwu Kingdom holds such sentiments!" Elder Nine voiced his agreement.
Elder Yeshan, however, frowned, "This great battle is no ordinary affair. Even with Xuanwu Kingdom's participation, it might not necessarily give Long Kingdom a greater chance of victory!"
"Rest assured, Elder Yeshan, even if we find ourselves in dire straits, we will never allow the martial experts of Xuanwu Kingdom to be harmed!" Elder Seven stated.
"That is not my meaning!" Elder Yeshan shook his head, "Rather, judging by the current situation, Long Kingdom may not have a decisive advantage!"
"That is indeed true!" Elder Nine nodded, "But as things stand, Long Kingdom has no room for retreat! All we can do is fight with our backs against the wall!"
"Indeed!" Elder Seven nodded, "This matter has no bearing on Xuanwu Kingdom. If Elder Yeshan has concerns, Long Kingdom will never force the issue!"
"Elder Seven, you jest!" Elder Yeshan spoke directly, "Since we have intervened, we intend to see this through with Long Kingdom, to the death. How could we abandon our allies at such a time!"
The elders exchanged glances and nodded with satisfaction.
Before Long Kingdom was besieged, it had assisted Xuanwu Kingdom on many occasions. The bonds forged from these past interactions were now proving to be quite precious.
"Sect Master!"
Just then, Ziyue arrived, holding a secret letter in her hand.
After Lu Fan read it, he turned to Elder Seven, "Following my plan, we will surround the Death Valley! The War King experts from Cangqiong Kingdom will arrive soon!"
Elder Seven’s expression turned solemn as he arranged his men, preparing to march towards the Death Valley.
Lu Fan, however, stepped forward, heading towards the only path leading to the Death Valley.
Although Cangqiong Kingdom had many War King experts, if he could eliminate them in advance, Long Kingdom would suffer less casualties.
Lu Fan had calculated this precisely, daring not to be negligent for even a moment, lest it result in the deaths of countless living souls before his eyes.
Meanwhile, within Baili Slope, numerous martial arts experts were fully prepared, their hearts filled with a resolve to face death.
Their current plan was to launch a counterattack, and the likelihood of returning alive was not high. However, they harbored no intention of retreating.
This was because behind them stood tens of thousands of their countrymen.
In the Death Valley, Yan Cangtian and others were enjoying fine wine. Elder Wuji and the elder from Black Bear Kingdom were also present, along with several other elders.
"Once the War Kings of Cangqiong Kingdom arrive, we will undoubtedly conquer Long Kingdom in one fell swoop!" The elder from Black Bear Kingdom narrowed his eyes, "The thought alone fills me with excitement!"
"Following our esteemed leader brings many benefits!" Elder Wuji chuckled lightly, "Black Bear Kingdom has gained greatly this time. Once Long Kingdom is conquered, we will receive one-third of the resources!"
"We owe our gratitude to both of you!" The Black Bear elder quickly rose, "Allow me to propose a toast to both elders!"
The other elders also raised their wine cups, as if they had already captured Long Kingdom's strongholds.
A hundred miles outside the Death Valley, Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance with sharp eyes. If he could neutralize the reinforcements from Cangqiong Kingdom, there might still be a chance to win today.
Somewhere in the extraterrestrial battlefield, on a helicopter, sat over a dozen elders, each emanating a powerful aura.
"To merely deal with Long Kingdom, they mobilize such forces that even we are dispatched!"
"I've heard that Long Kingdom has produced a prodigy who has slain many War Kings. It's likely Elder Yan will have trouble handling him!"
"Elder Yan has one foot in the Emperor realm. Could Long Kingdom possibly have such a formidable individual!"
The elders engaged in lively discussion, their eyes filled with arrogance, as if they held Long Kingdom in utter contempt.
On a mountaintop, Lu Fan spotted the approaching helicopter. He leaped fiercely, soaring a hundred meters into the air, and struck at the helicopter with a palm.
Boom…
A tremendous sound shook the surroundings. The helicopter instantly disintegrated into dust, flames burning in the sky. The pilot of the helicopter met his end. In that sudden instant, over a dozen figures emerged from the helicopter and descended towards the ground.
These were all War King experts from Cangqiong Kingdom. The moment Lu Fan attacked, they had sensed the danger and evacuated the helicopter beforehand. Fortunately, their vigilance was not misplaced, otherwise, they would have been killed by Lu Fan.
"What an arrogant young man, utterly audacious!" one of the elders said coldly, "Over a dozen War Kings were seated in that helicopter, and you dared to attack recklessly. You truly think highly of yourself!"
"Well said! Who exactly are you, boy! To act so ruthlessly at such a young age. If not for our heightened alertness, we would have fallen into your trap!" another elder sneered.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the War Kings of Cangqiong Kingdom?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "I came here specifically to eliminate you. This way, the pressure on Long Kingdom will be halved!"
"You are that prodigy from Long Kingdom?" the leading elder narrowed his eyes, "Truly courageous to act so directly, showing no regard for us whatsoever!"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come alone!" Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, "Will you end yourselves, or shall I do it myself?"
The elders' faces turned ashen. Even in Cangqiong Kingdom, they were highly respected. To be treated with such disdain upon arriving at the extraterrestrial battlefield was something they could not bear.
"Truly a boastful brat. If not for your surprise attack just now, do you think you could have even startled us with your abilities?" one elder scoffed.
The other elders also showed disdain. Although Lu Fan was hailed as a peerless prodigy of Long Kingdom, they were numerous, and all of them were War King powerhouses. How could they possibly take Lu Fan seriously.
Lu Fan said nothing further. He had no time to waste here. News of the attack on Cangqiong Kingdom's elders would surely reach the Death Valley, and the battle would then erupt. If Lu Fan delayed any longer, it would cause further complications.
Seeing Lu Fan charging at them, the elders were somewhat taken aback. They were all War King experts, and Lu Fan, alone, dared to be so aggressive, which was quite astonishing.
Initially, they had assumed that besides Lu Fan, there must be other hidden experts from Long Kingdom. Now, it seemed they were mistaken.
Two elders moved with uncanny speed, advancing towards Lu Fan first. As elders of Cangqiong Kingdom, they possessed an aura of supreme authority, and how could they fear Lu Fan. Su Dan Novel Network.
As they approached Lu Fan, they felt the terrifying internal energy radiating from him. They involuntarily retreated, only to vanish into thin air in the blink of an eye.
The other War Kings witnessed this with disbelief. The technique Lu Fan had just displayed was incredible. Two War King powerhouses vanishing into nothingness – what kind of formidable power was this.
"Since I dared to come, I will not disappoint you!" Lu Fan's expression was cold as he looked at the remaining elders.
