Inside a lavish mansion in Jiangnan.
Ouyang Shaohui's expression was grim. His plan had stalled because both he and the Dragon Subduing God of War wanted to seize Lin Tianxin.
He and the Dragon Subduing God of War faced the same dilemma, but unlike the latter, Ouyang Shaohui knew firsthand how formidable Yun Fan was.
In his eyes, Yun Fan was second only to himself and the Dragon Subduing God of War. If they were to fight, even if he could defeat Yun Fan, he would be severely wounded.
Therefore, he was in a difficult position. He had originally intended to use the Dragon Subduing God of War to eliminate Yun Fan, and then swoop in like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind.
However, to his surprise, the Dragon Subduing God of War had been all talk and no action, and had yet to make a move.
This impatience was making him anxious.
Just then, his subordinate came to report.
"Young Master, good news!"
"What good news?"
Ouyang Shaohui asked unhappily, annoyed that his subordinate dared to play coy at such a moment.
He knew that if it were the Dragon Subduing God of War, such a subordinate would have died several times over.
His subordinate quickly said, "The Dragon Subduing God of War has gathered his troops and is heading to the Black Dragon Society!"
"Indeed, that is good news!"
Ouyang Shaohui gave a cold smile. This was a perfect opportunity. The two of them were finally going to clash.
His subordinate immediately asked, "Young Master, I will go and gather our men. When they are both weakened, we will take them down in one fell swoop!"
"No!"
Ouyang Shaohui shook his head. "I believe it would be safest to capture Lin Tianxin first!"
His subordinate looked shocked at his young master's plan.
He quickly nodded, "Understood!"
...
The Dragon Subduing God of War had arrived outside the Black Dragon Society.
At this moment, everyone in the Black Dragon Society, except for Yun Fan, wore a solemn expression.
The arrival was not to be trifled with. Their opponent was the youngest God of War in China, capable of mobilizing a hundred thousand soldiers with a single command.
A figure of such stature surrounding the Black Dragon Society in silence was undoubtedly a disaster for them.
Zhao Fanghua intended to do what Lin Tianxin had done.
She prepared to contact reporters, but just as she was about to, she was stopped by Yun Fan, who emerged from the basement.
"Fifth Senior Sister, there's no need to fear. I'm still here, aren't I?"
Yun Fan appeared remarkably calm. He had just interrogated Old Fu, but the old man remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal his master's identity.
"Junior Brother, please don't act rashly. This Dragon Subduing God of War is no ordinary person. His strength might even surpass Ouyang Shaohui's. If we confront him head-on, we will surely be no match for him!"
Yang Xue saw that she had lived in Jinling for a long time and naturally knew how terrifying the Dragon Subduing God of War was. He was an invincible existence.
Therefore, at this moment, she could only urge her junior brother not to act recklessly, lest the consequences be unimaginable.
"It's alright. If anyone dares to provoke me, let alone the Dragon Subduing God of War, even if he were the Crown Prince, I would kill him!"
Anger flashed across Yun Fan's face.
Before the two could stop him, he had already reached the entrance of the Black Dragon Society.
In his eyes, the Dragon Subduing God of War was a foolish man. If he were in the Dragon Subduing God of War's position, he would not have come with such fanfare.
Instead, he would have chosen a stealthy assassination under the cover of night. He couldn't believe this ostentatious Dragon Subduing God of War insisted on a grand entrance. Did he really think he was invincible just because he was conferred the title of God of War?
"Boss, the brothers are all assembled. We'll fight to the death if necessary!"
Hei Long and Lei Bao's eyes flashed with determination. They were not afraid of death, and their strength was close to that of a Grandmaster.
Therefore, they also wished for a glorious battle.
"Everyone, disperse! Why all this fanfare!"
Yun Fan's expression was one of disdain.
"Kid, I admire your composure. You remain so calm even when death is at your doorstep!"
The Dragon Subduing God of War said with a playful smile.
Yun Fan coldly retorted, "Dragon Subduing God of War, you certainly know how to put on a show. Why are you besieging my Black Dragon Society without any reason?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Subduing God of War mockingly replied, "I don't need to explain my actions to you. Besides, your Black Dragon Society is notorious in Jiangnan, a den of iniquity that everyone wants to eradicate!"
The reason he said this was his fear that Yun Fan would use the same tactic and summon reporters.
However, he now had absolute confidence because he had a justification to eliminate the Black Dragon Society.
He had initially planned to make his move after Ouyang Shaohui acted, but Ouyang Shaohui had been as timid as a turtle.
Therefore, he had to act, deal with the Black Dragon Society, obtain Lin Tianxin, and then deal with Ouyang Shaohui.
"Oh! Do you have any evidence?"
Yun Fan asked calmly. This fellow, despite his lack of wisdom, had just placed a heavy accusation upon him.
This made him extremely angry.
The Dragon Subduing God of War declared, "Your Black Dragon Society is colluding with the Thousand Blades, who assassinated many of China's elites twenty years ago! Now, this God of War will exterminate your entire Black Dragon Society!"
Thousand Blades was none other than Old Fu. Yun Fan hadn't expected the Dragon Subduing God of War to get wind of this so quickly. He had only just captured Old Fu when this fellow found out.
However, what he didn't know was that Thousand Blades was actually a pawn of the Dragon Subduing God of War, so of course, the Dragon Subduing God of War already knew.
At this point, Yun Fan said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're afraid!"
"Afraid of what?"
The Dragon Subduing God of War found it hilarious. A mere country bumpkin daring to say that he, the revered God of War, was afraid.
This was utterly ridiculous.
Yun Fan continued, "If I've guessed correctly, you've come to silence witnesses, haven't you? You're afraid I'll extract too much information from Thousand Blades!"
"Therefore, you're afraid!"
The Dragon Subduing God of War's expression turned cold. That was correct. The reason he had acted so brazenly was his fear that Thousand Blades would leak his secrets.
After all, Thousand Blades not only knew his secrets but also his master's. Over the years, Thousand Blades had done many dirty deeds for him and his master.
If these dirty deeds were exposed, both he and his master would be ruined.
His original plan was to infiltrate the Black Dragon Society stealthily and then assassinate Thousand Blades.
However, he was unsure if Thousand Blades had already disclosed these secrets to Yun Fan. Therefore, he believed that eradicating the Black Dragon Society was the most prudent decision.
Especially at this critical juncture, they absolutely could not afford to give the Four Great Families any leverage.
At this moment, he said to Yun Fan, "Kid, you're quite the guesser! Unfortunately, you've guessed wrong!"
"Guards, exterminate everyone in the Black Dragon Society! Leave no one alive!"
"Yes!"
His men immediately charged forward.
However, before they could even approach Yun Fan, they were sent flying with a single move. Everyone's expression changed, especially those of the Dragon Subduing God of War's men.
They had followed the Dragon Subduing God of War for too long, and their arrogance had grown with time. Yet, they never expected Yun Fan to be such a tough nut to crack.
At this moment, Yun Fan declared, "Dragon Subduing God of War, if you're a man, then let's have a one-on-one fight!"
"One-on-one?"
The Dragon Subduing God of War sneered. "In this world, there are very few who dare to challenge me to a one-on-one fight. Kid, since you've made the request, I shall grant it!"
Yun Fan proposed a one-on-one fight not because he was worried that the Black Dragon Society would be outmatched by the Dragon Subduing God of War's forces.
Rather, it was to avoid a massacre.
Regardless, the outcome of this battle would be decided by him and the Dragon Subduing God of War. Whoever emerged victorious would determine the overall result.
At this point, the crowd parted, and Yun Fan faced the Dragon Subduing God of War.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to do this. Senior Sister will fight with you!"
Zhao Fanghua quickly stood beside Yun Fan.
Yun Fan replied, "Fifth Senior Sister, there's no need. You just watch the show!"
"This..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yang Xue Jian pulled her aside. Indeed, at this moment, Yang Xue Jian knew that her junior brother could not be distracted.
Once distracted, he would quickly fall prey to the Dragon Subduing God of War, a martial genius.
"This God of War achieved fame at a young age. I joined the army at eighteen, and now at thirty, I am unrivaled in this world!" Su Dan Fiction Network.
The Dragon Subduing God of War said proudly, "Kid, it is your honor to die by my hand. From another perspective, you have also achieved fame!"
Yun Fan disdainfully scoffed, "I've met many powerful individuals in this world, but you are the first one to boast so grandly!"
Undoubtedly, in Yun Fan's eyes, aside from his strength, the Dragon Subduing God of War was a brainless and arrogant fellow.
His master had already reached the Innate realm, yet he dared not claim to be invincible. To think this fellow dared to call himself unrivaled.
Were all Gods of War so arrogant? No wonder these Gods of War were so famous. It wasn't because of their strength, but because of their big mouths.
"Hmph!"
The Dragon Subduing God of War snorted coldly. "Kid, you will pay the price for your actions!"
In an instant, he attacked Yun Fan, accompanied by an invincible aura that made the Black Dragon Society members' expressions falter.
Was this the Dragon Subduing God of War? He was simply too powerful. The heights the Dragon Subduing God of War stood at were beyond their current reach.
In fact, their astonishment was not unfounded. After all, when he was conferred the title of God of War back then,
If it weren't for the considerable dilution of power, he would have almost been conferred the title of Marquis of Victories.
One could imagine how terrifying his talent and strength were. In the eyes of many, the Dragon Subduing God of War had the potential to become the strongest God of War in China within a century.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived before Yun Fan.
"Bang!"
After one palm strike, both of them retreated a few steps. A single move was enough to showcase their immense power.
They were truly top-tier powerhouses, but no one knew who had gained the upper hand in this move. It appeared to be an evenly matched contest.
The Dragon Subduing God of War frowned. His objective was to finish off Yun Fan in one move, but after the first exchange, Yun Fan could already match him.
This was beyond his expectations.
Yun Fan then said, "You boast so much, but your strength is only so-so!"
At these words, everyone was shocked. To think that the dignified Dragon Subduing God of War was being verbally humiliated by Yun Fan.
The arrogance of the Dragon Subduing God of War paled in comparison to Yun Fan's arrogance; it was like comparing a drop of water to the vast ocean.
"Kid, you're very good!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew the Dragon Subduing God of War was enraged. When a God of War rages, blood splatters for a thousand miles. When the Dragon Subduing God emerges, rivers and mountains are overturned.
In this world, few could withstand the wrath of the Dragon Subduing God of War.
If Yun Fan could hear their thoughts, he would surely retort, "What do you mean, 'few'? I know of dozens of people myself!"
At this moment, the Dragon Subduing God of War unleashed a punch, as if capable of shattering Mount Tai. Years ago, a God of War from an enemy nation had challenged the Dragon Subduing God of War,
And was obliterated by a single punch from the Dragon Subduing God of War.
This punch made even Zhao Fanghua and Yang Xue Jian change color. Their strength was not on the same level as the Dragon Subduing God of War, so they were unsure if Yun Fan could withstand this peerless blow.
"Bang!"
They exchanged another punch. Surprisingly, they still could not determine a winner.
Only now did everyone realize that Yun Fan was not merely arrogant but was actually a formidable opponent who could contend with the Dragon Subduing God of War.
"Long live Boss!"
"Boss is awesome!"
Hei Long and Lei Bao cheered for Yun Fan.
"Go Boss, smash this dog of a God of War!"
Hearing this, the Dragon Subduing God of War almost coughed up blood. In the past, who dared to insult him like this?
But the grass on their graves was already three meters high.
His rage was fully ignited, and he unleashed his full strength, intending to kill Yun Fan.
In the blink of an eye, they were locked in combat. Their strength was incredible, and their destructive power was astonishing.
The entire outer courtyard of the Black Dragon Society was razed to the ground.
However, the onlookers could not clearly see the two figures at the center of the maelstrom, as their movements were too swift.
Dust and smoke billowed around them as they exchanged dozens of blows amidst the chaos.
"Boom!"
Yun Fan unleashed a palm strike towards the Dragon Subduing God of War.
The Dragon Subduing God of War hastily blocked it, only to discover that Yun Fan's strike possessed the power to shatter mountains and rivers. Even he was forced back several steps.
After regaining his balance, "Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spewed out, and the scene froze.
"The God of War is injured?"
The crowd erupted in shock. No one had expected the invincible Dragon Subduing God of War to be injured.
Undoubtedly, this was an unacceptable reality for the Dragon Subduing God of War's subordinates.
After all, the Dragon Subduing God of War had served in the army for over a decade and had always been invincible, an unmatched existence.
His debut had been at his peak, and his attacks were swift and deadly. No enemy had ever forced him to expend so much effort.
To think that the one who ended up injured was him, it was simply unbelievable!
"No, although the God of War is injured, it's only an external wound. That kid might have internal injuries all over!"
"That's right, it must be!"
The Dragon Subduing God of War's subordinates tried to console themselves. Yes, this was the only outcome they could accept; otherwise, they would collapse.
But even so, it was enough to inspire terror. To force the Dragon Subduing God of War to this extent, Yun Fan's strength was simply astonishing.
After all, aside from Yun Fan, no opponent in the past, no matter how powerful, could push the Dragon Subduing God of War to such a degree.
"Will something happen to Junior Brother?"
Zhao Fanghua's eyes were filled with worry. Allowing Yun Fan to fight the Dragon Subduing God of War alone was too risky.
If anything were to happen to Yun Fan, how could she live?
Yang Xue Jian analyzed, "He should be fine. Although I am far inferior to Junior Brother, I can see that Junior Brother and the Dragon Subduing God of War are evenly matched!"
After all, both Yun Fan and the Dragon Subduing God of War were beyond the Grandmaster realm, a level far above them. Beyond her cognition, she could only rely on her intuition.
Just as everyone's nerves were on edge, the Dragon Subduing God of War suddenly roared in fury, "Kid, this God of War has underestimated you!"
"Your strength is quite good, but the better you are, the more this God of War must kill you!"
The Dragon Subduing God of War absolutely refused to allow a prodigy like Yun Fan to exist in China, especially since Yun Fan was much younger than him.
If Yun Fan were not eliminated today, he would undoubtedly become his greatest enemy in the future, as their enmity had already been forged.
Even if there were no existing animosity between them, he would not let Yun Fan go, because with Yun Fan's current performance, he would sooner or later steal his glory.
"You are not worthy!"
Yun Fan retorted disdainfully.
Through the dozens of exchanges just now, he had already grasped the Dragon Subduing God of War's approximate strength.
That is, he had barely entered the Houtian realm.
Therefore, during his exchanges with the Dragon Subduing God of War, he had carefully controlled his strength to be on par with the latter.
The Dragon Subduing God of War was enraged. He was ranked among the top one hundred on the Earthly Rankings, yet he was being so humiliated by Yun Fan.
The Heaven, Earth, and Human rankings – those who made it onto these lists were undeniably figures who could command an entire region. The Human ranking mostly consisted of Grandmasters, while the Earthly ranking comprised Houtian masters who surpassed Grandmasters.
The Heavenly ranking was above Houtian. However, throughout history, anyone who made it onto the Earthly ranking was a renowned figure.
Therefore, at this moment, he was completely provoked by Yun Fan.
At this instant, he went berserk. Others needed drugs to trigger their berserk state, but he did not.
Because at his level of strength, he could fully unleash his potential without any aid.
At this moment, his strength reached an entirely new level.
Such a level was so profound that even a wisp of his aura could induce despair.
"Not good!"
Just as Zhao Fanghua and Yang Xue Jian realized something was amiss, the Dragon Subduing God of War attacked, charging directly at Yun Fan.
His immense power seemed intent on tearing Yun Fan apart.
"Has he grown stronger?"
Yun Fan scoffed disdainfully and met the Dragon Subduing God of War head-on.
To everyone's surprise, even though the Dragon Subduing God of War had reached such a formidable level, Yun Fan could still match him.
Zhuque and Ye Feng, who had just arrived, looked on with astonishment.
Of course, aside from astonishment, Zhuque's eyes were filled with worry. She knew how powerful the Dragon Subduing God of War was and feared that Yun Fan would suffer.
Especially the berserk Dragon Subduing God of War, who was an existence that could kill gods and buddhas alike.
Ye Feng noticed her concern and quickly said, "Leader, please don't worry. Although the Dragon Subduing God of War is powerful, I have witnessed Yun Fan's strength. He can fight with anyone for a few rounds, but ultimately, they all fall before him. Therefore, he will surely win in the end!"
"If you're wrong, I'll tear you into eight pieces!"
Zhuque glared fiercely at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was speechless. He regretted speaking up. He should never have made such a wild analysis. If he were wrong, he would definitely be dealt with by his leader.
Although they belonged to the Nightfall organization, they were here for the Black Dragon Society today because Zhuque had fallen out with the Dragon Subduing God of War.
And as Zhuque's subordinate, he naturally followed his leader in falling out with the Dragon Subduing God of War. Although Ye Feng's strength was only average, at most at the level of a king soldier,
But let's not forget, he was a branch of the Ye family in Jinling.
At this moment, their battle had reached a fever pitch.
The berserk Dragon Subduing God of War's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't expected that even in his berserk state, he couldn't defeat Yun Fan.
His body was like tempered steel. Against any opponent of the same level, he could tear them apart, yet he couldn't do anything to Yun Fan.
At this moment, it was impossible for the Dragon Subduing God of War not to feel dejected.
"Boom!"
With another strike, they both retreated.
For the Dragon Subduing God of War, if he couldn't defeat Yun Fan soon, he would be finished once his berserk state ended.
Although even in his weakened berserk state, he was still superior to a Grandmaster, Yun Fan was not a Grandmaster. How infuriating!
His numerous subordinates were forced to re-evaluate Yun Fan's combat power. Although they were unwilling to admit this reality,
The facts had already proven that Yun Fan was definitely stronger than the berserk Dragon Subduing God of War.
However, no one knew what kind of formidable entity Yun Fan was. He was so much younger than the Dragon Subduing God of War yet could match him.
According to this trend, he had already surpassed the Dragon Subduing God of War.
Zhao Fanghua and Yang Xue Jian also breathed a sigh of relief. They finally realized they had underestimated their junior brother.
After coming to their senses, they realized how foolish they had been. Since their master had passed on the position of Ghost Valley Sect Leader to Yun Fan, it was proof enough that Yun Fan possessed the strength to bear it.
As for the strength of the Ghost Valley Sect Leader, there was no need for further explanation. Just know that it meant invincible and formidable.
As for Hei Long and Lei Bao, they were complete fanboys of Yun Fan. They didn't need to remember anything else, just that their boss was the strongest.
At this moment, Yun Fan said leisurely, "Boasting God of War, I was just playing with you earlier. Now, I'm getting serious. Are you ready?"
At these words, the entire crowd was stunned. If Yun Fan had said this before the battle, they would have dismissed it as boasting.
But now, a look of shock filled their eyes. Could this not be Yun Fan's true strength?
Then how powerful would Yun Fan be?
The Dragon Subduing God of War roared angrily, "Kid, in my opinion, you're already at your limit. You're just holding on now!"
"In the next move, this God of War will instantly kill you!"
He refused to believe that Yun Fan, after fighting so many rounds with him, showed no signs of fatigue. Therefore, in his view, Yun Fan might be at the end of his rope.
At this moment, he launched a surprise attack on Yun Fan.
"Ignorant!"
Yun Fan moved swiftly, unleashing a crushing blow.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the aura emanating from the two alone was so intense that it made it impossible to open one's eyes. No one knew how powerful this strike was.
All they knew was that anyone caught in the epicenter of this storm would likely be blown to smithereens. This move undoubtedly represented the pinnacle of martial arts.
After a single move, a scream was heard.
Before the crowd could react, the Dragon Subduing God of War's body, like a kite with a broken string, was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The invincible God of War had lost.
