"Liu Family Head!"
At this moment, Fang Qianqu suddenly called out.
"City Lord!" Liu Haixun hurriedly responded, a bad premonition arising in his heart.
"You, the Liu Family, were planning to cooperate with City Lord Mansion, weren't you? Now, it's time for you to show your sincerity!" Fang Qianqu stated indifferently.
"Ah?"
Liu Haixun's eyes widened as he asked, "City Lord, do you mean..."
Fang Qianqu said, "It's time for the Liu Family to attack the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array!"
"But... City Lord, our Liu Family truly doesn't have that capability. Even City Lord Mansion couldn't break the Array, we..." Liu Haixun said.
However, before Liu Haixun could finish speaking, Fang Qianqu's brows furrowed: "Hmm?"
Startled, Liu Haixun quickly said, "City Lord, I'll immediately arrange for an attack on the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array."
Afterward, Liu Haixun, not daring to be negligent, dispatched several Liu Family experts to form a Battle Formation. Naturally, their attacks were to no avail.
The Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array was so strong that even the Lin Family members themselves were incredibly astonished.
Previously, many in the Lin Family had underestimated the Array improvements made by Lin Fan, but now, deep inside, they were genuinely convinced of his ability.
Especially the Seventh Elder, who had previously challenged Lin Fan, stepped forward and said, "Youngster Lin Fan, to tell the truth, I, Seventh Elder, rarely admire anyone in my life, but for you, I truly am convinced!"
Lin Zhenxiong said nothing, but couldn't help thinking to himself, "This kid, where did he learn such a formidable Array?"
Over at City Lord Mansion, they had already ceased their attack.
Everyone watched the Lin Family, located merely a stone's throw away, yet they were powerless. Although the experts were unwilling to concede, their feelings of discontent amounted to nothing more.
An advisor of City Lord Mansion stepped forward and said to Fang Qianqu, "City Lord, who would have thought the Lin Family had such a powerful Array? It appears that we cannot break through this Array today. Perhaps we should withdraw for now and plan anew another day."
Fang Qianqu stood there, uttering not a single word, his face darkened to the utmost degree.
Seeing Fang Qianqu silent, the others likewise dared not say anything further.
After a while, Fang Qianqu finally spoke coldly, "If we were to retreat just like this today, what standing would I, Fang Qianqu, have in Heavenly Martial City in the future? What prestige would I have left?"
The advisor asked, "What do you suggest we do, City Lord?"
Fang Qianqu said in a deep voice, "I intend to take action personally to break this 'turtle' Array."
Immediately, the advisor said, "City Lord, that's too dangerous, there's no need for you to take such a risk..."
Fang Qianqu interrupted the advisor's words, waving his hand and saying, "You don't need to say anything, my mind is made up!"
As he spoke, Fang Qianqu's body slowly lifted into the air, then quietly hovered in the void.
Then, a long spear appeared in Fang Qianqu's hand, Spear Intent spreading as if it could pierce the surrounding void.
"It must be said, your Lin Family's 'turtle' Array does have some merit. Today, watch how I break your Array!" Fang Qianqu said coldly, "I will prove to the Lin Family with my strength that in Heavenly Martial City, our Fang Family is the undeniably foremost clan."
As he spoke, Fang Qianqu's spear in hand slowly rose, the spear held level, its tip directed towards the Lin Family.
On the Lin Family's side, the faces of the Lin Family members all became tense.
They all knew that Fang Qianqu was an expert of the Heavenly Profound Realm, but to what extent he had reached in the Heavenly Profound Realm, no one knew, because no one alive had seen Fang Qianqu take action. Those who had witnessed it were all dead.
Many in the Lin Family were worried. Although the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array was formidable, could it withstand Fang Qianqu's attack?
And just as the majority of the Lin Family were anxious, Lin Fan, that fellow, slowly stepped forward.
Lin Zhenxiong grabbed Lin Fan, asking, "What are you planning to do?"
"Hehe!"
Lin Fan smirked and said, "Let me see what tricks Fang Qianqu has up his sleeve!"
What?
After hearing Lin Fan's words, everyone was astonished!
At the same time, everyone felt that Lin Fan was overestimating himself.
To know, Fang Qianqu is a powerful being of the Heavenly Profound Realm.
Yet Lin Fan is merely at the level of the Initial Profound Realm.
If Fang Qianqu were likened to a Heavenly God, then Lin Fan is nothing more than an ant.
Now, the ant dares to challenge the dignity of the Heavenly God; isn't this seeking death?
Lin Zhenxiong immediately said: "Lin Fan, my boy, don't act rashly. If your father were here, he could easily defeat Fang Qianqu, but if you step forward, you'd be seeking your own death."
Lin Fan said: "Grandfather, don't forget, our Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array has been improved by me!"
"Ah? What do you mean?" Lin Zhenxiong asked somewhat puzzled.
Lin Fan continued: "With the help of the Array's power, even if I'm no match for Fang Qianqu, I will not be defeated, so rest assured!"
"This..."
Lin Zhenxiong still hesitated.
But after thinking it over, he let Lin Fan go.
Lin Fan continued to walk step by step toward the front, until he reached the very edge of the city wall. He looked over at Fang Qianqu and spoke indifferently: "The Family Head of the Fang Family, right? Do you dare to fight me?"
What?
The people from the City Lord Mansion and the Liu Family were stunned by Lin Fan's seemingly ignorant and arrogant words!
Lin Fan of the Initial Profound Realm actually dares to challenge Fang Qianqu of the Heavenly Profound Realm?
That's like an ant challenging a Heavenly God; it's completely an act of seeking death!
"What?" At first, Fang Qianqu was also taken aback, but in the next moment, Fang Qianqu was infuriated to the point of exploding. An Initial Profound Realm trash daring to stand up and challenge him?
Where does that leave his dignity?
"Good, very good!" Fang Qianqu laughed out of anger, speaking loudly, "An Initial Profound Realm trash dares to provoke me like this? It seems you don't know the gap between yourself and the Heavenly Profound Realm. With a wave of my hand, I could turn you to ashes!"
From Fang Qianqu's body, the oppressive aura of a Heavenly Profound Realm expert rolled towards Lin Fan.
However, Lin Fan stood there as if he did not feel any of this pressure, still indifferent.
"Humph!"
In the next moment, Fang Qianqu no longer wasted his thoughts on Lin Fan. He planned to break the Array first. Fang Qianqu had already decided in his heart, that after breaking the Array, he must make Lin Fan suffer a fate worse than death.
"Break for me!"
"Pegasus Meteor Spear!"
Fang Qianqu's spear finally made its move.
In an instant, it seemed as if Fang Qianqu had thrust out thousands of spears, and with each thrust, a streak of spear light would appear. In the blink of an eye, thousands of spear lights surrounded Fang Qianqu.
Afterward, these spear lights converged into an even larger spear light, emitting dazzling white light, like the blazing sun, causing many on the Lin Family's side to squint their eyes.
In the next moment, the colossal spear light, like a soaring fierce dragon, carried with it endless roaring sound, rushing towards the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array.
At this instant, even Lin Zhenxiong's heart started to worry.
Could the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array really withstand such a formidable spear thrust?
Boom...
A loud bang!
The Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array trembled slightly, and then endless white light appeared, absorbing Fang Qianqu's powerful spear light.
Even Fang Qianqu's mighty spear thrust was still unable to affect the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array in the slightest.
"How is this possible?"
Fang Qianqu's eyes widened, incredulous at the sight before him.
He really couldn't believe that the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array remained intact under such an attack.
To know, with that spear thrust, Fang Qianqu had already used up more than ninety percent of his energy, almost going all out, but still, he was unable to make any impact on the Lin Family's Mountain Protection Array?
