In the years spent in Qingyang City, Lufan had always focused solely on matters that could enhance his own strength, remaining completely unaware of the terrifying Top Ten Ironclad Guards at the lord's mansion.
He first targeted the Guard clad in black armor because the latter was blocking Li Ran's path.
As for who this person was and what reputation they held, it mattered little to him; all he needed to know was that this was an enemy.
With a swift thrust of his sword, he executed a simple yet direct attack aimed straight at the throat.
However, with Lufan's current mastery of Sword Technique, even this ordinary thrust was as fast as lightning, like a white horse darting through a gap. The air exploded as his sword pierced through it, and by the time the Ironclad Guardian reacted, the tip of Lufan's sword was almost touching his skin.
The Ironclad Guardian was struck with terror; from just this one strike, he sensed the taste of death. Every hair on his body stood on end as an unprecedented aura of death enveloped him.
What kind of Sword Technique is this! The Ironclad Guardian barely had time to think this thought before Lufan's single strike had already forced him into a desperate situation!
Under the threat of death, the Ironclad Guardian could not afford to hesitate. He leaned back rapidly, trying to create distance from the incoming sword while his Primordial Energy surged within him in a mysterious manner. His body erupted with a series of rapid cracking sounds; it was the sound of his bones colliding against each other.
At that moment, he unleashed a special Secret Technique designed to tap into hidden potential. This technique could instantly multiply a Martial Cultivator's power several times over, but at the cost of significant damage to their bones afterward, potentially affecting future advancements. It was truly a method that overdraws future potential.
Thus, under normal circumstances, the Ironclad Guardian would never use this Secret Technique unless absolutely necessary. Since advancing to Fourth Rank, this was the first time he had employed it.
In an instant, after activating the secret method, the Ironclad Guardian burst forth with immense power drawn from his overdraft potential, filling him with boundless confidence. He firmly believed he could evade this deadly strike and then counterattack!
With a powerful stomp, he shattered the Azure Brick beneath him. The air exploded with sound as the Ironclad Guardian seemed to teleport sideways to the right, leaving only an afterimage behind.
He dodged! The Ironclad Guardian felt a surge of joy; after all, he was merely facing a Third Rank Realm novice. No matter how exquisite Lufan's Sword Technique might be, it would still falter in the face of overwhelming power.
Now it was my turn to attack!
Feeling an unprecedented surge of strength within him, as soon as the Ironclad Guardian appeared to Lufan's left side, he wasted no time launching his assault. He gripped his blade with one hand and stomped down again on another Azure Brick, propelling himself forward at high speed toward Lufan.
The Ironclad Guardian chose to attack from Lufan's left side not without reason; at that moment, Lufan's left arm was occupied holding Little Girl, which would undoubtedly leave him vulnerable on that side—his greatest weakness.
However, what sent chills down the Ironclad Guardian's spine was that just as he unleashed all his power to attempt simultaneous strikes against Lufan and the little girl before Lufan could react, Lufan's Azure Mantis Sword almost simultaneously thrust forward again in a direct stab, piercing through the air with a shrill whistle!
This is impossible! The Ironclad Guardian barely had time to think this thought before Lufan’s sword struck with a speed that combined with his own full-force burst, leaving him no chance to react as he was pierced through the head by a single blow.
The people on the street, still reeling from the shock of the deaths of one hundred twenty-one guards, were immediately plunged into an even greater astonishment.
A figure feared by many Loose Cultivators in Qingyang City, renowned and possessing Fourth Rank Bone Refining strength, was effortlessly killed by that young man with a single thrust of his sword, without any resistance.
This was simply unbelievable. Who exactly was this young man? Everyone felt this thought rising again.
The Ironclad Guardian could not comprehend why Lufan could so easily predict his attack direction and respond in time; everything seemed preordained, as if he were just waiting for him to take the bait.
Onlookers also struggled to understand what had happened. To them, it appeared as though the Ironclad Guardian had willingly walked into the tip of Lufan’s sword, seeking his own demise.
At that moment, Lufan suddenly uttered a baffling statement: “Strength is not always better when it’s greater.”
The power displayed by the black-armored guard earlier was indeed impressive, nearly comparable to what he had encountered with the Black-hearted Tiger, and even slightly superior in speed.
Unfortunately, excessive strength often indicated a lack of control; Martial Cultivators typically could not perfectly harness power that exceeded their own realm.
If this Ironclad Guardian had faced another opponent, this would not have been considered a weakness. Yet he encountered Lufan, a freak who could achieve Senses Unified at the level of a novice martial artist.
In Lufan’s perception, after the Ironclad Guardian forcibly overextended his potential, the surging vitality was glaringly obvious, like a guiding light in the darkness. He was already fully aware of the next moves; thus, it was no surprise that the guardian met such an unclear end.
However, Lufan had no intention of explaining the reasons to anyone. He moved swiftly and stood before the dazed Li Ran, while the remaining guards had long since fled.
At this moment, Li Ran was still trapped in shock. Although he had committed many evils and had even tortured people to death with cruel methods, he had never witnessed such a bloody scene before; he was utterly terrified.
It wasn’t until Lufan approached him that Li Ran snapped back to reality. Looking at Lufan, he instantly resembled someone who had seen a devil, his face displaying extreme fear as he desperately tried to retreat.
“Don’t come any closer! Don’t come any closer!” Li Ran shouted while backing away, trembling all over and completely devoid of his earlier arrogance.
Unfortunately for someone like him, Lufan felt no pity whatsoever. Just based on his previous words, Lufan found no reason to spare him. If it weren’t for luring out Li Zheng, he would have killed him with a single strike from the very beginning.
However, this current display was indeed quite repulsive. Lufan decided to cripple one of his legs instead and swung his sword toward Li Ran’s ankle to sever his tendons.
“Stop!” A furious shout rang out; it was Li Zheng and others finally emerging from the estate.
"Ah!"
However, this angry shout did not cause Lufan to pause for even a moment. In the shocked and furious gaze of Li Zheng, Li Ran's tendons were still severed by a single strike.
At this moment, Li Zheng could hardly believe what he was witnessing. From the time the butler reported to him until he came out, how much time had passed? How could it be that more than half of his guards were suddenly dead, and even one of his personal bodyguards had been killed? What in the world was happening!
This was not even the most important part. What made his anger boil was the tragic state of his son, Li Ran. Not only had he lost a hand, but even after Li Zheng had shouted to stop, someone had still crippled one of his legs!
This was no longer just a slap in the face; it had escalated into a situation where there would be no turning back. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ran was still in his hands, Li Zheng would have immediately torn this brat to pieces!
"Father! Save me! Save me!" Seeing Li Zheng and the others come out, Li Ran frantically shouted.
"Shut up!" Lufan pointed his sword, and Li Ran's cries abruptly ceased. Now, all that remained in his heart for this cold-blooded youth was immense fear; he dared not defy him in the slightest.
"Kid, who are you? Do you know what you're doing? Be sensible and release him immediately; otherwise, today Qingyang City will be your grave!" With Li Ran in the opponent's hands, Li Zheng could only threaten.
"Finally out, huh? It took longer than I expected. The Lord's mansion isn't all that impressive," Lufan said leisurely. "As for who I am, let me show you something. Do you recognize this?"
As he spoke, Lufan released his control over the muscles on his face, revealing his true appearance.
Instantly, everyone gasped in shock!
