Chapter 46

Lu Fan tilted his head to the side, barely dodging the first sword strike from the green-robed swordsman. The second strike followed immediately, and dozens of strikes came in rapid succession, like a torrent of wind and rain pouring down on Lu Fan.

"Your sword technique is quite good," Lu Fan said calmly, his two fingers together, striking the spine of the green-robed swordsman's sword with a series of clinks, effortlessly blocking the rain of sword strikes.

In the sky, Lu Fan suddenly felt a drop of coolness on his face, followed by two, three... The rain began to drizzle, and the green-robed swordsman's expression turned even colder. His sword grew faster and faster, so fast that it left afterimages in the air!

But Lu Fan remained calm, his two fingers acting like an insurmountable barrier, preventing the green-robed swordsman's sword from advancing even an inch!

The long sword swept horizontally, cutting through a curtain of rain. At the end of the sword, Lu Fan lightly landed on the tip of the sword, his expression indifferent as he looked at the green-robed swordsman and shook his head. "Unfortunately, you still lack the skill to kill me!"

In Luoyang, a woman in a red robe took a scroll from the leg of a black eagle, examined it for a moment, and then called out in a delicate voice, "Pass the order, prepare to set out!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The red-robed woman chuckled to herself, "As expected, he's still in this area!"

...

By the stone bridge, Lu Fan, who was leisurely fighting the green-robed swordsman, suddenly heard a shrill system notification:

"Ding, please note, the will of this world has detected an abnormal loss of fortune energy and is beginning to alter the course of the world. Your position has been exposed. Please return as soon as possible! Please return as soon as possible!"

"What? What's going on?" Lu Fan was startled.

"Challenging and peeking to obtain meaningless secret manuals is considered a way to farm fortune points, which can easily provoke the hostility of the world's will!"

"Damn! Why didn't you say this earlier!" Although he didn't know what the will of the world was, the name alone suggested it was something he couldn't contend with at his current level.

He no longer had the leisure to continue the fight, and coldly said to the green-robed swordsman, "If you have no other skills, then you can die!"

The green-robed swordsman's expression grew even colder. He took a step forward and swiftly struck a sword past Lu Fan. Lu Fan's sword, which had been sheathed, was now out, forming a flower with a flick, and a drop of blood fell. The green-robed swordsman looked down at his chest and saw a thin line of blood.

"It seems I need to speed things up!" Lu Fan muttered to himself, slowly sheathing his sword and leaving with the two others.

Along the way, they were constantly obstructed. Lu Fan's expression remained cold, and he killed as many as came. Although these martial artists couldn't hurt him with his current martial arts skills, it greatly slowed his progress.

Fortunately, it was now the time of the Heroes' Assembly in the "Return of the Condor Heroes," and most of the righteous martial artists had gone to the assembly. Otherwise, even more would have come to cause trouble for Lu Fan!

Nearly ten days had passed, and the more people Lu Fan killed, the more the martial artists realized he was not to be trifled with. However, they did not give up. More and more evil martial artists began to gather, and under the leadership of a newly promoted first-class evil martial artist, they finally cornered Lu Fan and the two others in a valley called Wolf Valley.

"Lu Fan!" The leader of the evil martial artists was a tall, thin man with a broad frame, wielding a large ghost-head saber. He raised his saber, his eyes filled with ruthlessness, and shouted, "Hand over the secret manual, and I'll leave you a whole corpse!"

"Are you all determined to die?" Lu Fan's voice was as cold as the coldest winter. He was already anxious, not knowing what kind of force the "Return of the Condor Heroes" world would send to clean up, and whether he could withstand it. He needed to get Xiaolongnü away as soon as possible, and he had even considered forcing her, but the evil martial artists were different from the righteous ones. They would use any means necessary, and Lu Fan had already been ambushed several times while sleeping. If they attacked him while he was busy, it would be a disaster.

Hundreds of evil martial artists stood in front of him, and there might be a few righteous ones mixed in to take advantage of the situation. But facing hundreds of people was not new to Lu Fan. His face was as calm as water, and he drew his sword and charged forward.

"Who gave you the courage to block me, mere ants?" With a roar, Lu Fan swung his sword and cut down several people!

Lü Wushuang's crescent moon saber technique had reached the beginner level, and every time a blade of light flashed, a spray of blood followed. The crescent moon saber was a relatively quick technique to learn, and even against a group of second- and third-rate evil martial artists, she could defend herself. As for Xiaolongnü, her current strength was even greater than when Lu Fan had faced three hundred evil martial artists alone. She was at the peak of the acquired stage, bordering on the innate stage. If a specific level had to be given, it would be pseudo-innate. And Shendiao was also much stronger than two years ago. Therefore, even with hundreds of people, they posed no threat.

"Attack! Kill him!" The man with the ghost-head saber shouted while retreating. Lu Fan, using the Lingbo Microstep, moved through the crowd like a killing machine. In a short time, dozens of people were dead, and the evil martial artists couldn't even touch his clothes!

With another sword strike, Lu Fan killed the person in front of him, licked the blood from his sword, and a cold smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the retreating man with the ghost-head saber.

"Can you run away?" The martial artists surged forward like a tide, and Lu Fan's smile grew wider.

"Break, Array, Technique!" Without needing to look, Lu Fan was already familiar with the weapons and techniques of those around him, and he knew the weaknesses of each person! His long sword swept horizontally, moving with a unique rhythm, not fast, but it passed through everyone, without a single miss! Then, Lu Fan's feet moved, and he became a blur, passing through the crowd. The man with the ghost-head saber didn't even have time to shout before a sword pierced his throat!

The Break Array Technique was a move Lu Fan had developed after mastering the Nine Swords of Dugu. He understood the techniques of everyone around him and could break through any formation with a single sword!

At that moment, the martial artists who had been swept by the long sword suddenly had blood appear on their vital points, either on their chests or throats, and they all fell to the ground!

In the sky, the eagle continued to circle overhead. Lu Fan turned and charged back into the crowd!

Without a leader, the hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers had no morale and began to flee. Several miles away, a black-clothed scout looked at the eagle in the sky and reported, "Commander, the target is ahead!"

"En!" The red-robed woman waved her hand, and thousands of armored soldiers marched forward.

After another incense stick of time, the valley was filled with corpses, with nearly half having fled and the other half killed by Lu Fan!

Lu Fan tore a strip of cloth from a corpse's clothes and gently wiped the blood from his sword, his expression calm.

A rumbling sound came from outside the valley. Lu Fan looked up and saw a group of black and red-armored soldiers marching into the valley. At the front was a woman in a bright red robe riding a chestnut horse.

Strangely, although Lu Fan had never seen her before, she seemed familiar.

A thousand archers drew their bows, their arrows pointing at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan, his hands stained with blood, raised his sword and asked, "Who are you?"

A man in military attire beside the woman shouted, "Bold rebel! Surrender now, or the Commander will ensure you have no place to be buried!"

The red-robed woman pinched her thumb and ring finger, and a bright light flashed between them. Lu Fan immediately recognized her!

"It's you?" Lu Fan remembered the red-robed eunuch he had met in the palace a year ago. Now, his skin was smooth, and he had all the features of a woman, a sign of the full mastery of the Kuihua technique!

"Have you recognized me?" The red-robed woman's voice was sweet and lazy, but it gave Lu Fan goosebumps.

Lü Wushuang, curious, stepped forward and asked, "Brother Lu, who is this woman? Is she an old lover of yours?"

"Rubbish!" Lu Fan glared and shouted, "She's an eunuch! An eunuch!"

"Find death!" The lazy voice seemed extremely angry, and she shouted, "Kill him!"

The officer beside her shouted, "Archers, ready, fire!"

A rain of arrows fell, and the group quickly raised their swords to block. At the same time, thousands of armored soldiers charged forward.

After two rounds of arrows, the short-range combat began. Lu Fan was not afraid of these soldiers, but the red-robed woman flicked her fingers, and several fine needles shot toward Lu Fan!

Lu Fan's expression remained cold, and he tapped the needles with his middle finger, causing them to shatter in mid-air. The red-robed woman quickly turned her head, and the sword qi from the Zhongchong sword cut a strand of her hair.

The red-robed woman lightly stepped on her horse's back and floated toward Lu Fan. She pulled a few red threads, and the shattered needles flew back into her hand. The light around her dissipated, and Lu Fan's figure flickered, the needles passing by his side and embedding in the ground behind him. Another needle shot toward him, and with no way to dodge, Lu Fan met it with his sword. "Ding!" The needle and the sword tip collided, producing a clear sound.

Lu Fan's figure blurred, like a light mist of red and white, escaping the needle's trap and appearing behind the red-robed woman in an instant.

The red-robed woman waved her sleeve, and a tearing sound was heard. Her sleeve split, and Lu Fan's sword passed by her throat by a hair's breadth!

She flicked her fingers, and several needles shot out. Lu Fan used the Lingbo Microstep to move to the Kan position, and the red-robed woman's slender hand followed like a leech.

Lu Fan crouched and slashed horizontally, dodging the hand and counterattacking. The red-robed woman lightly jumped, and suddenly, a sword light from Lu Fan's sword rose, and the horizontal slash disappeared like a mirage!

Lu Fan's face showed no panic. His body moved strangely in the air, narrowly avoiding Lu Fan's sword. His movements were graceful and composed, and he launched several attacks, his wide red sleeves fluttering like blooming roses, bright red as blood.
