142: One punch shattered a mid-stage Immortal Venerable

"Very well."

Lu Fan uttered these two words lightly.

Hearing Lu Fan agree so cleanly and decisively, Immortal Venerable Chi Yan was stunned for a moment.

But before he could react, he saw Lu Fan take a step and appear on the battlefield.

"I am a great general under the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty. All of you, cease your attacks immediately and submit to our Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, or else, you shall be killed without mercy!"

The moment Lu Fan finished speaking, both the beings of the Holy Realm and the powerful Ghost Illusion Beings fighting on the battlefield looked towards Lu Fan and stopped their attacks.

The beings of the Holy Realm never wanted to fight in the first place; if it weren't for the Gui Huan Clan insisting on invading, they wouldn't have fought back.

The next moment, a figure completely shrouded in eerie black mist appeared opposite Lu Fan. A terrifying aura descended, and it was clearly a Middle Stage Immortal Venerable Great Expert.

A dry, hoarse voice emanated from the figure within the black mist.

"Your Excellency, aren't you being a bit too overbearing?"

Watching the Immortal Venerable Great Expert of the Gui Huan Clan, Immortal Venerable Chi Yan, who was watching from afar, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"That's it, kill him!"

However, to his surprise, Lu Fan just glanced at him indifferently and then spoke in a flat tone.

"I give you three breaths of time. Either submit, or die!"

Hearing Lu Fan's words, the Immortal Venerable of the Gui Huan Clan became enraged instantly.

"Your Excellency has quite an arrogant tone. In that case, let me experience your brilliant skills!"

The moment the Immortal Venerable of the Gui Huan Clan finished speaking, exactly three breaths of time had passed.

Lu Fan did not hesitate any longer. He raised his hand, and a magnificent sun appeared behind him.

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

Lu Fan punched out, and that fist, capable of destroying all things, slammed towards the Immortal Venerable of the Gui Huan Clan.

The Middle Stage Immortal Venerable of the Gui Huan Clan was directly stunned by the pressure of this punch and suddenly realized the danger.

"Senior, stop! My master is the Gui Huan Clan; if you kill me, my master will not let you off!"

"Hmph, do you think you're the only one with a master? If your master dares to come over, my master will just kill him directly!"

Lu Fan snorted coldly, not taking the Lord of the Gui Huan seriously.

In this day and age, who doesn't have a master?

Since the subordinate of the Lord of the Gui Huan couldn't beat him, could the Lord of the Gui Huan beat his own master?

Even if the Lord of the Gui Huan descended in person, he would surely die!

As the punch landed, the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable of the Gui Huan Clan was directly blasted into nothingness.

This scene directly shocked all the Ghost Illusion Beings present.

Although they had been lured by the empty promises of the Lord of the Gui Huan to invade the Holy Realm, they were still sentient beings, after all.

So, upon seeing the most powerful presence on the scene being annihilated, the remaining Ghost Illusion Beings dared not resist any further and all knelt down, declaring their submission to the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty.

However, there were also quite a few Ghost Illusion Beings who, due to their fear of the Lord of the Gui Huan, fled towards the space rift without a word after seeing the Middle Stage Immortal Venerable annihilated, hoping to escape with their lives.

But they had clearly underestimated Lu Fan's strength.

Seeing some Ghost Illusion Beings trying to escape, Lu Fan raised his hand, and a wave of Immortal Venerable power radiated from him, directly blasting those who tried to escape to death.

This instantly shocked the remaining Ghost Illusion Beings who had wanted to escape, and they dared not harbor any thoughts of running away again.

Seeing this scene, the members of the Realm Protecting Army were all shocked, including Immortal Venerable Chi Yan.

However, his shock flashed and vanished, and his expression quickly turned gloomy.

"Damn it, I didn't expect him to be this strong."

"It seems I can only find another way."

"But that's okay. Since he is holding off the Gui Huan Clan, I can focus entirely on my cultivation. Maybe I can quickly Breakthrough to Peak Immortal Venerable and then find the Holy Venerable."

Immortal Venerable Chi Yan thought to himself, then looked at the two deputy generals beside him and spoke.

"Since there is a great expert from the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty guarding this place, it seems we are no longer needed. Let's go."

But to Immortal Venerable Chi Yan's surprise, the two deputy generals who had previously been loyal to him shook their heads.

"Commander, the reason we followed you was because of the invasion by the Gui Huan Clan. Since the invasion by the local Gui Huan Clan has now been terminated, we no longer have any need to continue following you."

"Please allow us to leave."

The two Early Stage Immortal Venerables finished speaking and intended to leave immediately.

But they didn't expect Immortal Venerable Chi Yan's face to show a look of rage at this moment.

"Since you dare to betray me, then prepare to die!"

Having said that, Immortal Venerable Chi Yan intended to slap them to death.

Facing the unreserved strike from Immortal Venerable Chi Yan, the two Early Stage Immortal Venerables had no power to parry.

But just when they were about to be slapped to death, Lu Fan intervened.

"Your Excellency, daring to kill the citizens of my Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty right in front of me, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"

As Lu Fan finished speaking, before Immortal Venerable Chi Yan could react, he was directly slapped away by Lu Fan, who had appeared in front of him.

By the time Immortal Venerable Chi Yan managed to stop himself, Lu Fan appeared in front of him again and slapped him away once more.

For the next half hour, Immortal Venerable Chi Yan endured constant humiliation from Lu Fan, being slapped back and forth, unable to even detonate himself.

In the end, Lu Fan felt bored and stopped toying with Immortal Venerable Chi Yan, finally ceasing his attacks.

"If I see you again, I will kill you without mercy."

Lu Fan glanced at Immortal Venerable Chi Yan with indifferent eyes, leaving Immortal Venerable Chi Yan with no doubt that Lu Fan would truly do what he said.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Immortal Venerable Chi Yan hurriedly turned and fled.

Lu Fan didn't take Immortal Venerable Chi Yan to heart. A mere Middle Stage Immortal Venerable—if he dared to act out, he would just be killed.

Just as Lu Fan turned around, he saw the two Early Stage Immortal Venerables from before appear in front of him.

Looking at these two, Lu Fan frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he didn't expect the two of them to bow down to him without a word.

"Senior, could you give us a chance? We want to follow by your side."

Immortal Venerable Chi Yan's previous actions had broken their hearts, and combined with the powerful strength displayed by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Dynasty, it gave rise to the idea of following him.

After all, it is good to seek shade under a big tree, and since they truly had nowhere else to go, the idea of following Lu Fan was born.
