"I can't believe Dragon Country has such a strong individual!"
The leader of the black-clothed men sneered, "But you are no match for me!"
"Quasi-Emperor!"
Lu Fan slowly stood up, his brow furrowed. He had never expected the leader of the black-clothed men to be a Quasi-Emperor level expert. Such formidable strength made him feel a sense of unease.
"Xiao Fan, are you alright?"
Lin Ke quickly asked, moving to Lu Fan's side.
"I'm fine!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "But this person is exceptionally powerful. Be careful, we cannot afford any mistakes!"
Lin Ke nodded slightly and looked towards the black-clothed men. Now that he held the Frost Sword, he felt no fear, even when facing an unparalleled expert.
"I advise you not to resist with all your might!"
The leader of the black-clothed men said coldly, "Besides us, there are other experts from the ancient sects. Even if you can fend us off, you won't be able to handle the numerous experts from the ancient sects when they arrive."
"That's none of your concern!"
Lin Ke said coldly, "With the Frost Sword in hand, anyone who dares to make a move will learn my might!"
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say!"
The black-clothed man's expression turned icy, and he strode directly towards Lin Ke, unleashing his full power. He knew very well that before long, countless experts would arrive at the ancient costume street, and a fierce battle would ensue. If he could obtain the Frost Sword beforehand, he would be able to resist effortlessly and treat it as nothing.
Feeling the sharp aura, Lin Ke's eyes turned cold, filled with displeasure. He swung his long sword fiercely towards the black-clothed man, the wind surging wherever it passed.
Boom...
With a loud bang, the black-clothed man was sent flying backward, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had almost turned into an ice sculpture. Before the Frost Sword, he seemed insignificant.
Feeling this power, Lin Ke revealed joy. He knew that the Frost Sword possessed immense power, making it difficult to guard against.
"Retreat!"
The black-clothed man, severely wounded, dared not linger. He quickly moved towards the outside of the courtyard. Lin Ke, holding the Frost Sword, exuded an imposing aura that he could not contend with. Even a Quasi-Emperor level expert could only flee, demonstrating the might of the Frost Sword.
"You think it's that easy to leave!"
Lin Ke leaped forward, his Frost Sword instantly slashing out. In the blink of an eye, several icy energies surged forth, carrying an supreme aura that filled everyone with dread. In an instant, many of the black-clothed men met their demise, without even a chance to resist. Only the leader of the black-clothed men escaped, his eyes filled with despair. He, a dignified Quasi-Emperor, was being toyed with in the palm of someone's hand, an unbearable humiliation.
"What a powerful aura!"
Lu Fan exclaimed in shock. "Xiao Ke, it seems from now on, you will have to protect us!"
"No problem!"
Lin Ke said confidently, a smile appearing on his face. With the Frost Sword in hand, his actual combat strength was such that he didn't even regard Quasi-Emperors, making him quite formidable.
"Let's go!" Long Yi said, "The people from the ancient sects should be arriving soon!"
The group did not linger and moved towards the exit of the ancient costume street. However, as soon as they arrived, several more groups appeared, encircling Lin Ke and the others. Some wore strange attire, while others had killing intent in their eyes. Most were unparalleled experts, rarely appearing for centuries.
"Hand over the Frost Sword, and we will not harm you!"
An old woman spoke, her words laced with killing intent. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Is this what the ancient sects are like?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I am truly gaining insight. To obtain the Frost Sword, they resort to such actions!"
"Enough nonsense!"
The old woman's dissatisfaction grew, and she lunged towards Lu Fan. Lu Fan did not retreat but instead threw a punch, carrying the might of thunder.
Boom...
In that instant, the old woman was sent flying backward, eventually dying on the spot. Under Lu Fan's powerful assault, she seemed insignificant. The other men were also shocked. They were all experts from the ancient sects, but none had reached the Emperor realm. Lu Fan had just casually killed an Emperor realm expert, making them quite wary.
"Even Quasi-Emperor level experts will not gain any advantage!"
Long Yi stated, "If you insist on attacking, you are seeking your own demise!"
The members of the ancient sects exchanged glances but dared not act rashly. Lu Fan's punch that killed an Emperor realm expert was enough to shock them. More importantly, Lin Ke had not yet made a move, holding the Frost Sword, his true combat strength was likely even more terrifying.
"Let's go!"
Lu Fan spoke, leading the group out of the ancient costume street. Although the ancient sects had many experts, they did not dare to act rashly, and they were filled with frustration. It was a pity that there were no top-tier experts among them, or they would not feel so stifled.
After leaving the ancient costume street, Lu Fan and the others returned to the hotel, finally breathing a sigh of relief. They had been surrounded in the ancient costume street, and any slight misstep could have led to their demise.
Back at the hotel, Lin Ke lay on the bed, appearing quite weak.
"Xiao Ke, what's wrong?"
Lu Fan asked worriedly. "Why are you so weak?"
"The Frost Sword requires a tremendous amount of internal energy to use. When I wielded it just now, I overexerted myself, which is why I'm like this," Lin Ke said softly. "But it's alright, I'll recover after a short rest!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly but remained concerned. He knew very well that Lin Ke was quite weak at the moment.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry too much!" Lin Ke spoke again.
"Don't worry, we're not worried about you!" Jiang Meili said with a light laugh. "After all, you're no ordinary person, and you will become an supreme existence in the future!"
After saying this, the few of them moved outside the room.
"We originally came searching for the Tai Xu Sword, but we unexpectedly found the Frost Sword. It's truly a blessing in disguise!" Long Yi chuckled, looking at Lu Fan.
"That is also a good thing!"
Lu Fan stated directly. "After all, obtaining the Frost Sword is a great boon for us!"
"Indeed, if all five ancient swords can be reawakened, we will have no pressure in the future!" Long Yi said solemnly.
"Tomorrow I will patrol Jiangbei again. If I cannot find the Tai Xu Sword, we will return to Dragon Capital!" Lu Fan said directly. "With the emergence of the Frost Sword, I haven't sensed the Tai Xu Sword in Jiangbei at all. It seems what I sensed before was not the Tai Xu Sword, but the Frost Sword."
Long Yi said nothing more, not reacting to Lu Fan's words. After resting for a day in the hotel, Lin Ke felt full of energy. Looking at the Frost Sword beside him, he revealed joy. After a night together, they seemed to have become more intimate.
