Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Battle Against Lu Jiuxuan

Lu Jiuxuan was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhang Beiyuan’s corpse, but then his eyes gradually widened as he dashed over, propped up Zhang Beiyuan’s body to confirm it once more, "My good disciple... no!!!"

Bloodshot quickly spread in his eyes, and his expression gradually twisted into one of ferocity, as a murderous aura began to rise around his body.

"How dare you kill my disciple!"

Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "I opposed your marriage to Shen Lingdie in the Shen Family, and he wanted to kill me for that. I had no choice but to kill him first."

Lu Jiuxuan clenched his teeth, "If my disciple wanted to kill you, it must have been because you deserved to die. What gives you the right to kill him!"

Chen Fan was speechless, "So he can kill me, but I can’t kill him, what is the reasoning in that? By the way, the reason I came here is to persuade you to give up on marrying Shen Lingdie. Shen Lingdie does not wish to marry you, and you cannot force her."

Lu Jiuxuan’s expression darkened, "What I do is none of your business!"

"You bastard, killing my disciple, I will avenge him now!"

As he finished speaking, he began flicking his hand gestures, conjuring a ball of fire and hurling it at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan flipped his hand and deflected the fireball aside, which fell to the ground and exploded with a bang, blasting a large hole in the ground.

"Since you are not one for reasoning, then I can only let my fists do the talking."

Lu Jiuxuan snorted coldly and launched several more fireballs at Chen Fan, then addressed the crowd behind him, "Everyone, today before your very eyes, I will execute this fiend. Please step back to avoid any collateral damage!"

All the true persons immediately retreated to the edge of the courtyard.

They looked at Chen Fan with contemptuous expressions.

"This boy really has the audacity. He dares to kill Master Lu’s disciple, he’s undoubtedly bound to die today!" Zou Zhengyan commented.

"Considering the skills he displayed earlier, he must also be a person of substantial Dao practice. To be so young, he could have been the Pride of Heaven. How could he be so foolish to provoke Master Lu?" Lin Yushan sighed with regret.

Xu Tongwei snorted coldly, "Even if he is somewhat talented, what does it matter? Master Lu has stepped into the Nine Revolutions True Person Realm for many years, and his power is now unfathomable. He is no match for such an impetuous youth."

...

Chen Fan neutralized those few fireballs and did not bother to be polite with Lu Jiuxuan, throwing out several talismans.

Lu Jiuxuan’s face was full of arrogance, "Playing with talismans in front of me, don’t you think you’re a bit green?"

He flicked his hand gestures, intending to control Chen Fan’s talismans and counterattack.

However, to his surprise, his techniques had no effect whatsoever.

"How can there be no reaction?" Lu Jiuxuan frowned.

The next second, those few talismans exploded around Lu Jiuxuan, and the Power of Thunder instantly enveloped him.

Lu Jiuxuan’s pupils contracted, and a golden barrier quickly appeared around him, blocking the thunderous forces, but his complacency had left him looking somewhat disheveled.

After neutralizing the forces of thunder, Lu Jiuxuan looked at Chen Fan with a heavy expression and asked, "Such terrifying talismans are rare in this world; who exactly are you?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I am a friend of Shen Lingdie, and at her request, I have come to dissuade you from the idea of marrying her."

Lu Jiuxuan snorted coldly and then stepped back a few paces, raising nine Formation Flags into the air where they spun rapidly.

A myriad of strange forces began emanating from within the flags, quickly enveloping the entire compound.

Chen Fan sensed a deadly aura permeating the air.

Zou Zhengyan and the other onlookers gasped at the scene.

"The Nine Palaces Extermination Formation! Master Lu is using such a deadly Formation to deal with this boy; it seems he truly intends to kill!"

"Nine Palaces Extermination, reputed to be an extremely powerful Killing Formation. Once activated, nothing can grow within its range. Even we might not survive a few breaths inside this Formation!"

...

After activating the Formation, Lu Jiuxuan looked coldly at Chen Fan and said, "Boy, dying within my Formation is something to be proud of. You killed my disciple, and I will surely take your life. As for Shen Lingdie, I intend not only to marry her but also to make her my slave. No one can stop what I, Lu Jiuxuan, want to do!"

As his words fell, nine black dragons, formed of malevolent energy, suddenly appeared in the sky, shrouding the heavens in darkness.

The sound of dragon chants rose, seemingly piercing through one’s eardrums.

Chen Fan felt the might of the formation and his lips curved into a slight smile, for he noticed traces of some powerful formations from the Cultivation World within this one. It seemed that Lu Jiuxuan truly had some skills.

The nine black dragons crisscrossed through the air, all diving toward Chen Fan at once.

Chen Fan did not dare to take this lightly and immediately twisted his hand gestures, his pupils turning a dark gold. Two beams of intense light shot out, sweeping across the nine black dragons.

Candle Dragon’s Eye!

The two beams of light ignited the nine black dragons with raging flames, and instantly their momentum weakened.

Lu Jiuxuan furrowed his brow upon seeing this, "What kind of technique is this?"

Without hesitation, he infused mana into the formation flags, which began to spin, and the flames on the nine black dragons quickly extinguished before they charged toward Chen Fan once again.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, murmuring, "I didn’t expect the might of the Candle Dragon’s Eye to fail to resolve these nine black dragons. It seems I’ve underestimated this formation."

Lu Jiuxuan said coldly, "Boy, with your level of Dao practice, you won’t be able to break through my Nine Palaces Extermination Formation, so just accept your death quietly!"

Chen Fan gave a cold smile, "Then you’d better watch carefully how I break your formation!"

After that, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, brought his hands together, and began to gather his strength.

Soon, all the spiritual energy contained within Azure Dragon Mountain began to converge towards Chen Fan, and in a short time, a golden divine dragon formed behind him, emitting a golden light.

Upon seeing this golden dragon, Lu Jiuxuan’s pupils suddenly constricted, "The power of heaven and earth! You can actually condense the power of heaven and earth!"

Chen Fan cracked a smile, "Though your formation is powerful, your understanding of the art of formations is too simplistic. Formations are merely means to borrow the power of heaven and earth for one’s own use."

"I have just extracted all the power of heaven and earth nurtured by your Azure Dragon Mountain. Fortunately, this is a geomantically blessed place, rich in the power of heaven and earth, which should be enough to break your formation!"

Having said that, he waved his hand, and the golden divine dragon soared into the sky, entangling with the nine black dragons.

The golden light on the divine dragon had the effect of purifying the evil energy, and before long, the nine black dragons became extremely weak.

Taking advantage of the momentum, the golden divine dragon shot up into the sky, breaking through the Nine Palaces Extermination Formation.

A beam of golden light suddenly shone down in the courtyard, which had been dark as night, forcing everyone to hastily close their eyes.

The nine formation flags in the air gradually stopped spinning and then fell to the ground.

The nine black dragons and the golden divine dragon simultaneously dissipated into the air.

Lu Jiuxuan’s face turned several shades paler, looking at Chen Fan in disbelief, having never expected this youngster to solve his Nine Palaces Extermination Formation.

Zou Zhengyan and others were also full of shock.

"Master Lu’s Nine Palaces Extermination Formation... has actually been broken?"

"How can this boy be so powerful? Could it be that even Master Lu is no match for him?"

"Without the Nine Palaces Extermination Formation, how will Master Lu deal with this boy? Could the title of Gang City’s number one in spells be changing hands?"

...

Chen Fan walked up to Lu Jiuxuan and said, "If the formation just now was your strongest move, I advise you to concede now."

Lu Jiuxuan’s eyes fixated on Chen Fan, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

Chen Fan asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Jiuxuan’s expression returned to calm, and he sneered, "I hadn’t expected to encounter someone with your strength here in Gang City, fine, although I didn’t plan to let the outside world know of my true power just yet, given the circumstances, there’s no point in hiding it any longer."

Once he finished speaking, his hair began to dance wildly, and his aura started to climb. Soon, a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire courtyard.

"Hiding your true power, eh?" Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, sensing a hint of danger from Lu Jiuxuan.

Zou Zhengyan and others nearby looked on with faces full of astonishment.

Zou Zhengyan exclaimed, "Half-Step Divine Realm! Master Lu has actually stepped into the ranks of the Half-Step Divine Realm! He is truly a formidable presence that gallops between heaven and earth!"
