"Victory!"
"'Fierce Beasts' actually won!"
"A miracle, this is a true miracle!"
"It is a great fortune to witness this battle!"
"My life is not in vain!"
"Haha, now I can brag when I go out."
Everyone from Qingyang City went wild. Before today, no one believed that Lufan had any hope of defeating Prince Yu, not even a fleeting thought.
For the past three days, the most discussed topic was whether Lufan would dare to accept the challenge or if he would secretly flee. Most people believed he wouldn't last through the three moves agreement.
What people admired was his courage and determination to challenge the Martial Arts Master.
Even just before the battle began, everyone was cheering him on, shouting to drive Prince Yu out of Qingyang City, but most still held onto rationality and did not truly harbor such extravagant hopes.
Even Uncle Fu did not consider that Lufan had any chance of winning.
However, in such an unfavorable situation where no one had faith, Lufan repeatedly overturned people's perceptions with miraculous methods, clearly showing everyone how he broke the iron laws of the cultivation world and defeated the immensely powerful Martial Arts Master.
This was a miraculous comeback and a hard-fought victory; Lufan came close to falling several times.
But it was precisely this that made it all the more thrilling and uplifting.
Thus, the crowd fell into complete madness!
Some cheered, some roared, some jumped, some embraced, some tore their clothes, and some waved their fists. Everyone expressed their excitement in their own way.
Even the usually carefree Duanmu Xue couldn't help but hug Mikomi Ran, crying tears of joy. Zhao Xingjian and a few others drew their weapons and wildly waved them above their heads.
It was incredibly difficult; Lufan's victory in this battle was truly hard-won.
Indeed, among those present, some had past grievances with Lufan and had been adversaries during the Dragon Ascension Symbol contest, yet they too were cheering.
This was unrelated to grudges or personal feelings; it was purely out of respect for a strong opponent.
Countless people looked at Lufan with admiration as he approached. Although he walked unsteadily and appeared weak, it did nothing to diminish their reverence for him.
After today's battle, Lufan would undoubtedly become the most esteemed person in Qingyang City. Forget about the Silver Moon Kingdom; even the words of the Silver Moon Sect would carry less weight than those of Lufan.
As Lufan gradually drew near, the crowd began to quiet down, instinctively parting to reveal a path to the city gate.
Only Uncle Fu and a few others remained unmoving at the front of the crowd.
"I have lived up to my mission and returned alive," Lufan said with a smile, though he quickly grimaced in pain.
The sensation of torn meridians was indeed unpleasant.
"You pushed yourself too hard; are you trying to throw your life away?" Uncle Fu frowned after sensing Lufan's condition, clearly displeased.
Lufan was currently extremely weak, even weaker than an ordinary person, which of course could not escape Uncle Fu's keen perception.
"The opponent is a Martial Arts Master at the Perfect Realm; if I don't risk it, how could I possibly win?" Lufan shook his head and said seriously.
"You only need to hold on for three moves; with me here, he won't be able to turn the tide!"
"Since there was a chance to win, I had to give it a shot. Even if the cost is high, it's worth it. Besides, we have Huang Lao, a master of alchemy; this level of injury shouldn't be a big deal."
Uncle Fu let out a cold snort and fell silent, which was an acknowledgment of the path. Just as Lufan had said, being able to engage in a life-and-death battle with a martial arts master, not only surviving but also winning, brought unimaginable gains in martial arts experience and skills. No matter the cost, it was worth it.
Old Huang could only smile wryly: "You really think highly of me. Your martial arts foundation has been depleted, your self-exploding technique has damaged your Dantian, and your meridians are torn. The situation inside you is a complete mess; it's not an exaggeration to say you're on the brink of death. Not to mention me, even a master alchemist wouldn't dare claim absolute confidence in curing you."
The people around were shocked, not expecting Lufan's condition to be this severe.
Duanmu Xue tightened her grip on Old Huang's sleeve, her face filled with worry. "Old Huang!"
Lufan waved his hand, interrupting Duanmu Xue: "I know what I'm doing. As the saying goes, 'no pain, no gain.' This injury is also something I intentionally caused; there's no need to worry too much."
Hearing Lufan say this, although there were still traces of concern on their faces, everyone felt somewhat reassured. They all knew he never undertook actions without certainty, and since he had said so, he must have some degree of confidence.
Only Uncle Fu cast an appreciative glance.
At that moment, Lufan felt a small hand gently tugging at his hand. Looking down, he saw Little Girl timidly pulling at his fingers and worriedly asking, "Brother, does it hurt?"
It seemed the little one had heard part of their conversation. Although she didn't understand the severity of the situation, she knew Lufan was injured and felt distressed.
Little Girl and her grandfather had been called over by Uncle Fu at the beginning; otherwise, without Uncle Fu's protection, their weak wills would have been overwhelmed by the battle's aura long ago.
In reality, those who could come to watch the battle had some level of strength; those without strength were still hiding in the city, afraid to come out. A few days ago, when Prince Yu fought against Uncle Fu and others, it left many with painful lessons.
Watching strong fighters battle also required strength.
"It doesn't hurt." Lufan patted her head and smiled. "Brother chased away the bad guys; isn't that impressive?"
"Yes! Brother is amazing! In the future, Little Girl wants to be as strong as Brother and specifically chase away bad guys!"
Little Girl nodded earnestly while shaking her small fist determinedly.
"Hahaha!" Laughter erupted around them, causing the little one to feel shy and hide behind her grandfather.
Lufan suddenly noticed the young man who had given him wine, nodded, and said, "Thank you, the wine is quite good."
This immediately excited the fellow, and he personally thanked Lufan, which would give him plenty to brag about for a long time.
Lufan looked around the crowd and cupped his hands together. "Thank you all for your support today. Unfortunately, I am quite injured; otherwise, I would treat you all to a meal!"
The crowd immediately felt unworthy of such gratitude.
"Sir Lu, you are too humble. We should be the ones thanking you."
"That's right! You killed Li Zheng and removed a great threat for Qingyang City. We should truly be thanking you!"
"We just shouted a few times in excitement; we feel ashamed to receive such praise!"
"Exactly! You are too polite!"
"You should go take care of your injuries."
Lufan smiled but did not say much more. He understood that it took courage for them to say those words, especially since the other party represented Prince Yu and the Silver Moon Kingdom. Achieving this was no small feat.
"Since that's the case, I won't be overly formal!" After cupping his hands again, Lufan slowly walked toward the city. His injuries were severe, and he needed to seek treatment as soon as possible; delaying was not an option.
The crowd fell silent, watching Lufan and his companions leave as if they were heroes.
It wasn't until Lufan's figure disappeared that the crowd began to chatter again.
"Let's go drink! It's on me; that battle was so damn satisfying!"
"Let's go, count me in!"
"Exactly! At a time like this, drinking is the best way to celebrate!"
"I want to go drink 'Divine Drunkenness.' That scene just now with the 'Fierce Beast' drinking in the rain was so damn cool, it got my blood boiling!"
"I also want to order 'Divine Drunkenness!'"
Everyone surged into the city, and the Loose Cultivators began to occupy various restaurants and taverns, eating and drinking while discussing the battle that had just taken place. The atmosphere was extremely lively, and as they talked more, some even started to get into physical altercations.
Almost everyone, without exception, ordered 'Divine Drunkenness,' causing this usually overlooked expensive drink to run out of stock.
The ordinary people of Qingyang City set up tables filled with delicious dishes, celebrating their joy in their own way.
Even the children ran joyfully through the streets, filled with excitement.
Such a scene would have been impossible when Li Zheng was alive and the lord's mansion still stood.
People were celebrating not only the demise of a great evil in Qingyang City but also the emergence of an extraordinary genius from their city, a future master powerhouse.
The entire Qingyang City was engulfed in revelry.
Meanwhile, in a hidden corner of the city, several mysterious individuals were plotting something.
