"Little fellow, I am a War King expert. If you face me, your life is uncertain!"
The old man sneered, "If you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps it's still not too late!"
"Old sir, you can't speak too soon!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "If you can injure me even slightly today, you'd truly be accomplished within the Juling Kingdom!"
"What an arrogant brat!" The white-haired old man stepped forward, showing no mercy.
Lu Fan was not only arrogant but also sharp-tongued. He would not be soft-hearted towards someone like this.
"Court death!"
Baili Qianshan sneered. He knew the old man's strength best; dealing with Lu Fan would be a piece of cake.
Feeling the sharp gust of wind, Lu Fan did not evade. Instead, he charged directly at the old man.
Seeing this, the white-haired old man's gaze intensified. If Lu Fan had dodged, he might have had a chance to live, but judging by Lu Fan's posture, he was giving himself no room for error.
"I wonder who else would dare to oppose the Baili family in Juling City in the future!"
Baili Qianshan sneered, his expression even more indifferent, as if he didn't take the matter seriously.
Among the crowd, many martial artists watched, but dared not speak out casually. The Baili family was not to be offended; they were well aware of this.
*Boom...*
A loud noise erupted. The white-haired old man was sent flying, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
In contrast, Lu Fan appeared calm, as if nothing had happened.
"How is this possible!"
Baili Qianshan stood frozen. The old man before him was a War King expert of the Baili family, such a peerless master was a top expert even within the Juling Kingdom.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Bai Huaxue said coldly, "Lord Lu is renowned in the Outer Domain Battlefield, having successively slain more than ten War King experts. Your Baili family cannot afford to offend him!"
"Slew over ten War Kings?"
Baili Qianshan's legs felt numb. If that were true, his Baili family truly couldn't afford to offend him.
If it were before, he wouldn't have believed Bai Huaxue, but having witnessed Lu Fan's methods now, he had no choice but to believe.
"*Pfft...*"
The fallen old man spat blood, his face instantly turning pale. If Lu Fan had held back, he would likely have already met his demise.
"Well, do you still want to compete?"
Lu Fan looked at Baili Qianshan, his expression turning cold.
As the young master of the Baili family, he didn't contribute to the Juling Kingdom and instead bullied and tyrannized others. Lu Fan wouldn't spare someone like that.
"Although your strength is formidable, this is Juling City!"
Baili Qianshan feigned composure, "You injured a member of the Baili family, and the Baili family will never let this go!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan instantly sneered, "In that case, it seems you don't need to exist!"
Baili Qianshan was startled, and the others were also shocked. Lu Fan's words sent a chill down their spines.
"Are you perhaps intending to deal with us all!" Baili Qianshan probed.
A trace of fear welled up in his heart. If Lu Fan truly had such intentions, they would truly have nowhere to escape today.
Given Lu Fan's previous display of skill, their escape was nonexistent.
"Why not?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, "Since you've come seeking death, I will naturally fulfill your wish!"
"Please, Lord, show mercy!"
The injured white-haired old man quickly said, "It was the Baili family that erred first. I hope Lord will overlook past grievances!"
"Your words are likely useless!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "What happened today was caused by him. He should be the one to speak!"
Baili Qianshan's face darkened, "This is Juling City. It's impossible for me to apologize!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan, like a phantom, appeared before Baili Qianshan. Before he could react, he unleashed a palm strike.
Baili Qianshan quickly met the strike with his own palm.
*Boom...*
The sound echoed all around. Baili Qianshan was sent flying backward, his arm beginning to bend. His face instantly turned pale.
"My hand!"
Baili Qianshan cried out, roaring in anger. He had never suffered such humiliation since he was young.
"This is just a warning for you today!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If not for the Elder's sake, what is your Baili family worth!"
Baili Qianshan's eyes were sinister. He left with the other Baili family members, looking dejected.
Many martial artists nearby were astonished, never expecting Lu Fan's methods to be so formidable, capable of even intimidating a War King expert.
"This storm is likely not over!"
Gu Wen shrugged, "The Baili family is one of the three major families. Their patriarch's strength is likely formidable!"
"Even if the Baili family patriarch personally intervenes, he won't be Master's match!" Han Qiushui said calmly.
"Indeed!" Bai Huaxue nodded, "With Lord Lu's actions, destroying the Baili family would not be difficult!"
"You mustn't talk nonsense!"
Lu Fan shot them a look, "Some matters are not as simple as they seem!"
"Why is Lord being humble!"
Bai Huaxue smiled, "However, your arrival in Juling City as honored guests has led to such an incident! It is my Baihua family's dereliction of duty!"
"This has nothing to do with the Baihua family!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "My mood is gone. Let's head to the City Lord's mansion earlier. After this feast, it's time to leave!"
"Where is Lord Lu planning to go?"
Bai Huaxue asked earnestly, "No matter where Lord Lu goes, I will follow! My father has already agreed that I can travel freely!"
"To the various kingdoms!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "By forming alliances with the various kingdoms, we can resist the Cangqiong Kingdom and no longer be coerced by them!"
"That's a good idea!"
Bai Huaxue nodded seriously, "No wonder Lord Lu would come to the Juling Kingdom!"
"This alliance is merely fortunate!"
Lu Fan chuckled wryly, "As for the other kingdoms, I'm not sure how they will react!"
"As long as Lord Lu makes his move, it will definitely work!"
Bai Huaxue's expression was serious, and she placed considerable trust in Lu Fan.
Not long after, they headed towards the City Lord's mansion, appearing somewhat hurried.
Meanwhile, within Juling City, it was as if an explosion had occurred.
They had clearly seen Lu Fan suppress the young master of the Baili family just now. In the past few hundred years, such a thing had never happened.
Under normal circumstances, upon seeing anyone from the Baili family in Juling City, people wouldn't dare to offend them rashly. Yet, Lu Fan had broken the young master Baili's hand. If this news spread, how would the Baili family maintain its dignity?
By then, a good show would undoubtedly unfold.
Outside the Baili family's courtyard, Baili Qianshan arrived in a fury. He had never suffered such humiliation, which made him extremely ashamed.
"Young master, are we just going to let it go like this!"
The guard captain spoke out, "Even you were taught a lesson. How will the Baili family establish itself in Juling City."
"Shut up!"
The white-haired old man said with a dark expression, "If it weren't for you, how would this have happened! Stop trying to sow discord. That person is the true guardian of Lord Lu from the Dragon Country, and his strength is extraordinary. Confronting him will yield no good!"
