Dragon Martial Sovereign

In that instant, Hu Kui finally realized that he had miscalculated, and also understood why Lin Fan could silently kill his subordinates before.

Could it be that Lin Fan could control this natural Array?

In that moment, remorse finally started to creep into Hu Kui's heart.

If he had known earlier that Lin Fan could control this natural Array, even with ten times the courage, he would not dare to ambush Lin Fan here.

But alas, he only realized his regret now, and it was clearly too late…

As Hu Kui retreated, he was horrified to feel as though a powerful force was acting on his body, deeply affecting his speed and rendering him unable to retreat.

He could only watch helplessly as the gray vortex swept towards him.

"No!"

Hu Kui let out a desperate shout.

The next moment, without any suspense, the gray vortex successfully enveloped him.

Immediately, Hu Kui mobilized all the Array forces he could muster to try to block the gray vortex from devouring his body.

But soon enough, Hu Kui realized that all his efforts were futile.

In the end, the gray vortex still devoured his body, as he watched his own body starting from the feet, slowly turning into dust.

At this moment, Hu Kui even forgot the pain.

In his heart, there was only endless panic and despair.

"Ah..."

After a final scream of agony, Hu Kui's entire body was enveloped by the gray vortex in the last instant, completely turning to dust.

Just like that, Hu Kui perished.

Originally, Hu Kui came confidently wanting to kill Lin Fan, but he could never have dreamed that he would end up being slain by Lin Fan.

And moreover, he died without a whole corpse.

"Lin Fan, you will die a miserable death, opposing our Hu Family, you will regret it!"

From the surrounding void, Hu Kui's resentful roar could be heard.

Although Hu Kui's body had perished, his soul did not immediately follow; in his final moments, he still emitted roars and warnings, attempting to salvage the last vestige of his dignity.

Lin Fan calmly stood in the void, scoffing, "Your Hu Family? If you don't remain subdued, I will eradicate your Hu Family as well."

Of course, Lin Fan's words fell on deaf ears to Hu Kui.

For after making his final cry, Hu Kui's soul completely dispersed and vanished.

The two men in black secretly protecting Lin Fan approached him.

The thinner man in black said to Lin Fan, "Young Hero Lin Fan, who would have thought you're so formidable? It seems our worries before were needless."

Lin Fan responded, "Thank you to the two seniors for protecting me in secret."

The thinner man in black said, "We were merely following orders, but I have something I'm unsure whether I should say."

Lin Fan said, "Speak freely!"

The thinner man in black said, "Now that Young Hero has killed Hu Kui of the Hu Family, who although only a collateral relative, still holds a high position within the Hu Family, they will inevitably be greatly shaken. I'm certain they will spare no expense to kill you, so the road ahead will undoubtedly be even more perilous."

Pausing here, the thinner man in black looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, "I am already aware of what you are saying, focus on the key point."

The thinner man in black said, "We suggest that if possible, Young Hero should consider changing his appearance and at least avoid the eyes of the Hu Family. That way, he could avoid a lot of trouble. Moreover, the Liu Family won't be idle either."

After saying this, the thinner man in black stopped speaking.

He believed that Lin Fan understood his meaning.

At the same time, he also believed that since he had made his point so clear, Lin Fan would surely act according to his suggestions.

After all, if one changes appearance, it would indeed reduce a lot of trouble.

However...

What the man in black never expected was that Lin Fan simply shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, up to now, I have no plans to change my appearance. I think it's good to continue moving forward like this."

"Huh?"

After hearing Lin Fan's words, the eyebrows of both men in black slightly furrowed.

The other man in black, who had been silent, spoke up, "Why?"

They suddenly felt that Lin Fan was simply a fool - why pass up the shortcut?

Lin Fan said indifferently, "Originally, I chose to walk the journey for the sake of experience. If I change my appearance, how can I achieve the purpose of gaining experience? The Hu Family and the Liu Family might seem formidable in your eyes, but in my eyes, they are nothing - merely opportunities for my training."

"What?"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, both men widened their eyes.

At that moment, they suddenly felt that Lin Fan was being utterly unreasonable.

To tell the truth, if it were not for Hu Feifan's orders to protect Lin Fan, they would really want to withdraw and not care about Lin Fan's safety.

After sweeping his gaze over the two, Lin Fan clearly understood what they were thinking.

Lin Fan didn't say much else, clasped his fists, and said, "Gentlemen, I bid you farewell!"

After finishing his words, Lin Fan turned around and left at a steady pace.

The two men in black stood there; their expressions were somewhat ugly, suddenly feeling that Lin Fan was not only arrogant but also extremely conceited.

To underestimate the formidable Liu Family and Hu Family like that?

And to claim these families were merely for his training?

It might be understandable if said by a powerful Saint Ascension-level master, but the problem is...

Lin Fan's Cultivation is merely at the Perfect stage of the Wheel Vein Realm, and he hasn't even reached the Elemental Mansion Realm, yet he speaks such words, which was truly courting death.

Originally, Lin Fan thought that he would definitely encounter ambushes from the Hu and Liu Families next; he was prepared to fight at any moment.

However...

What Lin Fan never expected was that the path ahead turned out to be extremely tranquil, without any obstructions.

This caused Lin Fan to be somewhat doubtful—had there been a mistake? Or had the people from the Hu and Liu Families chasing him lost their way?

That day, Lin Fan arrived at a place where there was a stone bridge ahead.

Moreover, the stone bridge was the only way forward.

If Lin Fan wanted to continue on, he must cross the stone bridge.

However, at that time, there were two young men playing chess on the bridge, one in white and one in black. Both were exceptionally handsome, undoubtedly lady-killers. Perhaps to others, these two youths were just two ordinary people, but Lin Fan could tell that these two were certainly not simple.

Even...

Lin Fan felt that the two were there specifically for him.
