Since the Dragon Ascension Talisman contest, Lufan has become a household name, his appearance already etched in everyone's memory. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he changed his looks and aura.
Previously, there were suspicions about his true identity, but during the life-and-death talisman contest, Lufan did not reveal his swordsmanship level; he only showcased his unmatched Fist Technique, which left everyone uncertain.
Now that he has voluntarily removed his disguise, it immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.
"It’s him! The 'Beast' Lufan!"
"Isn't he supposed to be skilled in Fist Technique? How is he so proficient in swordsmanship too?!"
"Yeah, that sword strike that broke a hundred arrows was simply unbelievable."
"I had suspected it long ago. In Qingyang City, who else could possess such combat power at this age besides him? I just wonder why he has clashed with the City Lord's Mansion. Looks like there's going to be a good show!"
"This time there will really be something to watch. The City Lord's Mansion is not to be trifled with; not only do they have the ten elite guards, but City Lord Li Zheng is also a Sixth Rank expert. I wonder if Lufan can hold up."
"In front of the 'Beast', the ten elite guards are nothing. Didn’t you see that one of them was just casually stabbed to death by him? Over the past half month, who knows how much stronger he has become."
"Sigh, this is the terrifying aspect of a peerless genius; you can never know their true strength because every day they are making rapid progress, leaving others in despair."
Upon hearing this, many fell silent, feeling a sense of sorrow for being born in the same era as such geniuses.
Qingyang City is not particularly large, and the City Lord's Mansion has always been a focal point of attention. With such a significant event occurring, news spread quickly, and more and more Martial Cultivators began to rush over to discuss it.
'Beast'—this is Lufan’s current nickname. During the Dragon Ascension Talisman contest, Lufan's fighting style left everyone with the deepest impression: fierce and brutal! Just like the legendary ferocious beast.
Once a Primordial Beast reaches the Seventh Level, it attains a level comparable to that of a Martial Arts Master among humans. Not only does it possess immense strength, but it also gains wisdom, becoming more cunning and ferocious. Thus, people refer to those Primordial Beasts that reach above the Seventh Level as Fierce Beasts.
Lufan earned this nickname entirely through his actions. During the Shenglong Talisman competition, thousands suffered injuries or lost their lives at his hands, and many Loose Cultivators have yet to recover, highlighting the brutality of that time.
As a result, the Martial Cultivators of Qingyang City both respect and fear Lufan. Similarly, the city lord's mansion has held significant power for many years and is seen as an untouchable entity by Loose Cultivators.
On one side stands an extraordinary genius rising like a comet, and on the other is the powerful city lord's mansion. Now that these two forces are facing off, many onlookers are excited, almost ready to cheer them on.
As soon as Lufan revealed his true identity, Li Zheng's eyes narrowed in fury as he exclaimed, "You little bastard!"
Li Zheng recognized Lufan immediately. Ever since he learned that this was the murderer of his beloved son, he had been consumed with thoughts of revenge, wishing to grind Lufan to dust. Now that he suddenly saw his enemy, how could he remain calm?
The Fourth Prince also heard the discussions among the surrounding Martial Cultivators and realized that this was the so-called genius of Qingyang City, rare in a century. His interest piqued, he began to scrutinize Lufan.
Li Zheng's words caused Lufan's expression to darken. With a swift motion, he inflicted another wound on Li Ran: "It seems Li Chengzhu is quite angry. I wonder if this will help you come to your senses."
Li Ran's chest was drenched in blood, but he could only endure in silence, afraid that any sound might provoke this fierce deity and cost him his life.
Seeing Lufan's audacity infuriated Li Zheng; he felt compelled to act. However, upon observing Li Ran's condition, he restrained himself and suppressed his murderous intent.
"I wonder what your intentions are in causing trouble at our city lord's mansion. Not only have you harmed so many of our Guards but also severely injured my son. If you do not provide a reasonable explanation, it will be seen as a blatant provocation against the city lord's mansion and a challenge to the authority of the Silver Moon Kingdom. At that point, even your backing may not be able to protect you!"
Li Zheng's words surprised the Loose Cultivators; they did not expect the typically domineering Li Zheng to soften his stance. Given his usual behavior, anyone who dared provoke him would have already faced immediate action.
Now that half of the Guards were dead or injured, his restraint seemed suspicious.
In truth, Li Zheng had his own difficulties. He wished nothing more than to capture Lufan immediately; however, Li Ran's life was in Lufan's hands, and he was uncertain whether Lufan had come on his own accord or under someone else's orders. Thus, for now, he dared not act rashly.
This time, Lufan did not rush to answer the question but turned his head to the side. "I say, can you help protect them? I might not be able to spare a hand later."
Everyone was puzzled. At that moment, A Qi stepped out from the crowd helplessly. "I say, being so high-profile makes it difficult for me. After all, I am an assassin, and this is not fitting for my identity in such a public place."
"Aren't you supposed to be an assassin under the sun? Isn't this situation just right?" Lufan said while handing Little Girl over. "Be good, this Big Brother is also a good person. He will protect Little Girl and Grandpa. I'll come back after I finish off the bad guys."
"Okay, then come back quickly." Little Girl was very understanding; she did not cry or make a fuss and remembered Lufan's words, keeping her eyes closed tightly while hugging A Qi.
"Leave it to me. By the way, the opponent seems quite tough; are you confident?" A Qi casually asked. Protecting two ordinary people was still an easy task for him.
"It's hard to say; we'll know once we fight."
"You're impressive!" A Qi gave a thumbs up and turned to walk back.
Everyone watched this bizarre scene, unsure of what was happening, frequently casting their gaze toward A Qi, this unfamiliar person who had never been seen before and was somehow connected to the 'ferocious beast.' In their minds, he could not be an ordinary person.
Unfortunately, they were destined to see nothing unusual. No matter how they probed, in their perception, A Qi was merely a low-level Martial Cultivator with only First Rank cultivation—nothing special at all.
However, Li Zheng looked somewhat uncertain. The earlier discussion about assassins had indeed stimulated his nerves.
"Alright," Lufan turned around and said, "now we can talk."
"However, you mentioned reasons; there isn't really anything special about them. I just heard that you commissioned someone at Seven Kill Tower to take my life and that the only way to cancel this commission is for the client to die. So I had no choice but to come kill you."
A stir of discussion arose among the crowd.
"I must have misheard. Did he say that someone from the Seven Kill Tower is hired to assassinate him?"
"What does it matter? Hasn't he done enough sinister things over the years?"
"You all missed the most important part. The 'Fierce Beasts' said they want to take down Li Zheng!" one Loose Cultivator exclaimed excitedly.
"How is that possible? A Third Rank against a Sixth Rank? No matter how talented, it's impossible for anyone to defy the heavens to that extent. Talent isn't omnipotent!" another Loose Cultivator expressed disbelief.
"But that's the 'Fierce Beasts'! They single-handedly toppled thousands! What can't they do?" The speaker clearly had blind confidence in Lufan.
"Well, we’ll just have to watch. If someone comes to kill him and he doesn't dare to act immediately, no matter what Li Zheng does this time, he'll definitely lose face. The deterrent power of the Lord's Mansion will surely decline. Let's see how he responds."
Everyone turned their gaze to Li Zheng, eager to see how he would respond.
Li Zheng's expression changed, but how could he possibly admit to such a thing? He immediately denied it: "I don't know what you're talking about. Do you have any evidence that I hired someone to assassinate you? As for you, you are indeed disrespecting the authority of the Lord's Mansion. Are you really willing to go against the entire Silver Moon Kingdom, or even the entire Silver Moon Sect?"
"That's right, Lord Li is correct. Offending royal authority is unforgivable!" The Fourth Prince suddenly stepped forward.
"And you are?" Lufan looked at the young man in black who had suddenly appeared.
"I am a member of the Silver Moon Kingdom royal family, the Fourth Prince!" the Fourth Prince declared proudly.
