Dragon Martial Sovereign

However, Lin Fan quickly understood what had happened here before.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, he muttered to himself, "It seems these were people from the Liu Family. They must have wanted to strike at me while I was immersed in comprehending the Heart Realm, but in the end, they were killed by someone!"

Naturally, Lin Fan knew that the person who had killed these men was someone Hu Feifan had secretly sent to protect him.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "It seems having a secret protector can be beneficial in many situations. It saves me the trouble of dealing with many problems myself."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan's face as he continued forward.

Meanwhile, as Lin Fan was moving ahead, somewhere in front of him, Hu Kui of the Hu Family stood silently with a cold expression on his face.

"How is it? Has that guy arrived yet?"

Hu Kui asked the person beside him.

The person beside Hu Kui responded, "We just received a report. That guy has set out from the cave, and, additionally, we've received some bad news."

"Hmm?"

Hu Kui's brow furrowed slightly as he asked in a deep voice, "What news?"

The person explained, "When that guy was comprehending within the cave, people from the Liu Family showed up. They wanted to kill Lin Fan. What they didn't expect was that they would all end up dead, mysteriously slain by someone."

Hu Kui inquired, "It wasn't Lin Fan who killed them?"

The person nodded and said, "No, if things are as expected, an expert is protecting Lin Fan in secret. The Liu Family members were killed by this secretly protecting person."

Hu Kui laughed and said, "Actually, it's normal for someone to be protecting Lin Fan in the shadows. All this is within my expectations."

"Oh?"

The person beside him looked at Hu Kui with a hint of surprise.

Hu Kui stated, "For some reason, Hu Feifan holds Lin Fan in high regard. Therefore, it is normal for him to arrange for Lin Fan's protection in secret. It would be abnormal if he didn't arrange for anyone to protect Lin Fan."

The person asked, "Sir, what should we do next? We planned to use this Array to kill Lin Fan. What if there is an expert with him? Wouldn't that spoil our plans?"

Hu Kui sneered and said, "Don't worry. This Array is a naturally occurring phenomenon. We are merely employing some techniques to utilize this Array. The power of this Array is extraordinary and matchless. Even if it's someone sent by Hu Feifan to protect him in secret, once they enter this Array, they are destined to die!"

Saying this, Hu Kui paused slightly, then continued, "No matter what, Lin Fan is doomed this time. Even if he had wings to fly with, once he enters this Array, he'd be on a one-way path to death. And this valley is an inevitable route for Lin Fan."

After finishing, Hu Kui laughed coldly, his face showing a cruel expression.

At this moment, Lin Fan was not far from the canyon.

A black-clad individual secretly protecting Lin Fan suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Young Hero Lin Fan!"

The black-clad person said to Lin Fan, "Ahead lies the legendary Death Canyon. You should know, there's a natural great Array there. If someone is lying in ambush, even we would be powerless to protect you. Therefore, please consider making a detour."

Lin Fan shook his head, unconcerned, and said, "It's of no consequence!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan continued to walk forward.

The man in black said, "But... Young Hero Lin Fan..."

Lin Fan interrupted the man in black, saying: "Thank you for protecting me in secret, but I need to tell you that even if there truly is an ambush ahead in the canyon, it's not a big deal."

Lin Fan naturally knew about Death Canyon up ahead.

In his past life, Lin Fan had killed people within Death Canyon and was very familiar with the inside of it.

Seeing that Lin Fan wouldn't heed his advice, the man in black was helpless, could only watch Lin Fan leave, and ultimately shook his head in resignation.

Another man in black also appeared and asked, "What should we do? Are we just going to watch him walk to his death?"

The previous man in black replied helplessly, "Now, we have no other choice but to protect him with our lives. Hopefully, there won't be any ambushes in Death Canyon ahead, otherwise..."

He didn't say the rest of his words, simply shook his head. But it was evident from his tone that he was filled with worry.

Lin Fan continued onward and finally reached the edge of Death Canyon.

When he saw Death Canyon again, his heart couldn't help but stir with excitement because in his past life, when Lin Fan had come to the Ten Thousand Mountains, he had just encountered an extremely powerful enemy hunting him. In the end, Lin Fan had used the natural Array of Death Canyon to kill that enemy. Otherwise, in his past life in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Lin Fan would have already been killed by his enemies.

Therefore, Lin Fan still felt somewhat sentimental towards Death Canyon.

Seeing Death Canyon again in this life, his heart inevitably surged with emotion.

"Hmm?"

In the next moment, Lin Fan's brows slightly furrowed as he murmured softly, "The natural Array within Death Canyon now seems to have weakened a lot. If I'm not mistaken, beneath Death Canyon, there must be some special object maintaining the operation of this natural Array, and the energy within this special object is rapidly depleting, causing the Array to gradually weaken."

The next moment, Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all, took a step forward, and directly entered Death Canyon.

On top of the high mountain, Hu Kui and many experts of the Hu Family were there.

To be honest, when Lin Fan was lingering outside just now, they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, worried that Lin Fan wouldn't enter Death Canyon.

But now, seeing Lin Fan finally enter Death Canyon, they became extremely pleased.

Hu Kui said with a cold sneer, "The fish has bitten the hook. What we need to do next is… use the natural Array here to kill him!"

After saying this, Hu Kui paused slightly and then continued coldly, "Make your move. If necessary, I will personally step in to cut down this guy."

"Yes!"

The group standing behind Hu Kui all responded respectfully.

The next moment, their figures vanished, also entering the canyon.

Hu Kui smirked softly, "Lin Fan, you've willingly delivered your life into my hands. Under such circumstances, if I don't kill you and make an achievement, I would truly be letting down your enthusiasm, heh heh..."

Hu Kui was very confident.

This time, killing Lin Fan would be without any trouble.

After Lin Fan entered the canyon, he remained calm and continued to step forward.

Whoosh...

A shadow suddenly appeared beside Lin Fan. The blade in his hand seemed capable of shattering the void, instantly reaching in front of Lin Fan, and in the next moment, the blade shadow would completely strike down upon Lin Fan's body.
