"I don't think so. If I were the groom, I'd be more suitable!"
As this voice fell, the scene plunged into a deathly silence. Everyone below looked around with a hint of astonishment, wanting to see who the speaker was.
Daring to disrupt Saint Master Zhang's wedding was surely a greater act of courage than seeking death itself.
Only Zhang Fan and Xue Jing's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this voice, as they both sensed over a dozen powerful presences hidden above the lake island.
The concealment techniques of these individuals were so masterful that even Zhang Fan had not detected them earlier.
Lin Haotian and Wuchen Jianxian exchanged glances, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes. Today, something significant was likely about to unfold.
A strange gust of wind suddenly swept across the lake island, howling and whipping the wedding decorations into the air, turning the entire scene into chaos.
The wedding guests also found it difficult to stand against the strong wind. To avoid being blown away, they all crouched down on the ground. Some guests near the lake were even swept into the water.
The guests were filled with panic. This sudden, unnatural gale was far from ordinary and clearly not a natural phenomenon.
Zhang Fan frowned slightly, casting his invisible Disintegration Domain to envelop the entire lake island. The strong wind, met by the domain's resistance, quickly dissipated into nothingness.
With the wind's rampage halted, the scene gradually returned to calm. However, the wedding decorations had been completely destroyed, leaving the venue in ruins, resembling a disaster site.
"Oh? You can actually break my Gale Domain? You have some skill!"
The space rippled, and a group of human cultivators in peculiar attire emerged from the void, appearing above the lake island.
Leading them was a burly, one-armed middle-aged man. They looked down at the panicked crowd below, their calm eyes holding a trace of disdain.
Lin Yun, among the guests, saw this and a flicker of worry crossed his eyes. He sighed, "This day has finally come."
"Who are they?"
The guests below, looking at this group of people in strange clothes emerging from the void, felt both curiosity and a hint of fear.
"Judging by their appearance, they seem to be here to cause trouble for Saint Master Zhang. How dare they be so audacious?"
In the minds of many, Zhang Fan was an invincible existence. He had proven himself in countless battles, and anyone who dared to challenge him had never met a good end.
"You reunite with Mom and Dad and get them off the island as quickly as possible!"
After Zhang Fan said this to Qin Luoshui, he shot into the sky. Simultaneously, figures darted out from the crowd below, standing behind Zhang Fan.
Xue Jing, Lin Yun, Wuchen Jianxian, Lin Haotian, and the three Blood Clan princes.
They exuded powerful auras, standing in opposition to the group of extraterrestrial cultivators.
The massive body of the Blood Demon Flood Dragon erupted from the lake, creating towering waves. It coiled around the shore, sweeping dozens of people onto its back.
Transforming into a blood-red silhouette, the Blood Demon Flood Dragon rapidly flew away from the lake island.
As soon as this group of extraterrestrial cultivators appeared, Zhang Fan had transmitted a message to the Blood Demon Flood Dragon, instructing it to evacuate the guests from the island.
Concurrently, Qin Luoshui, Zhang Xingan, Su Yun, and Ailebela, all of whom had reached the God Realm, could also escort large numbers of ordinary people to quickly evacuate the island.
The group of extraterrestrial cultivators did not intervene when they saw this. In their eyes, those people were insignificant ants. Their sole objective in descending upon the lake island was Zhang Fan.
Once this Saint Master Zhang was dealt with, wouldn't the other humans on Earth be at their mercy?
"There's actually another hidden Golden Core realm expert. This is a bit surprising!"
The burly, one-armed man looked at Lin Yun. Based on the information he had gathered, he had a general understanding of Zhang Fan and the strength of his followers.
However, he had found not a single piece of information regarding Lin Yun, clearly indicating a Golden Core realm cultivator who had never appeared in the eyes of the world.
He could tell at a glance that Lin Yun was a Golden Core realm cultivator who had condensed a third-class Golden Core. Even reaching the peak of the Golden Core realm would have little impact on the overall situation.
"You are Zhang Fan, aren't you?"
"I will give you two choices: surrender to me, or... die!"
The one-armed man's eyes held a hint of indifference as he spoke calmly. Beneath the serene voice lay immense divine power, putting significant pressure on Lin Haotian, Wuchen Jianxian, and the others.
A cultivator at the peak of the second-class Golden Core realm was essentially considered a top-tier expert within the Golden Core realm.
After all, first-class Golden Cores were exceedingly rare, with even the entire Wu Shan Star Domain producing only a handful of first-class Golden Core cultivators in an era.
Zhang Fan took a deep breath, striving to calm himself. His heart was filled with anger, not because of the one-armed man's contempt for him.
It was because, on his wedding day, the first of his life, someone dared to cause trouble!
"Cultivators from the Wu Shan Star Domain, are you? You've come at a truly inconvenient time!"
The anger in Zhang Fan's eyes gradually transformed into boundless killing intent.
"Kill... leave none alive!"
Zhang Fan wasted no more words. He directly gave the order. Xue Jing and the others behind him had been impatient for a fight. At Zhang Fan's command, they all charged forward.
"Interesting. In that case, you all attack as well. Leave one alive." The one-armed man also spoke indifferently.
Zhang Fan's decisive attitude surprised the one-armed man somewhat, but he didn't care. He merely believed that these native inhabitants of Earth had been too complacent as local overlords for too long. They couldn't tolerate even the slightest humiliation. Only by suppressing them with bloody means would they understand that there was always someone stronger.
Xue Jing's eyes held a trace of excitement. His speed was astonishing. Taking the lead, he transformed into a blood-red streak of light and charged directly at the leading one-armed man.
Although extraterrestrial cultivators had always been a major concern, this first arriving team was simply too foolish, daring to seek them out with only two Golden Core realm cultivators.
Xue Jing was filled with excitement. Gripping his blood axe, his eyes blazing with madness, he swung it directly at the burly, one-armed man.
"Hmph! A fool who doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth!"
The burly, one-armed man, seeing Xue Jing dare to charge at him, let out an enraged laugh. His ferocious grin was tinged with cruelty.
He lightly swiped his left hand in front of him, and a gleaming saber appeared in his grasp.
"Begone!"
The one-armed man held the saber in his left hand and unleashed a straight slash, drawing a sharp blade light through the void that collided with Xue Jing.
The fierce collision generated a powerful shockwave that spread outwards. The lake water surrounding the lake island churned into towering waves, surging outwards.
The villa, which had only recently been rebuilt, was swept by the shockwave and completely collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.
Fortunately, the guests on the lake island had been successfully evacuated by the efforts of the Blood Demon Flood Dragon and Ailebela and others. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Xue Jing stamped his feet on the void seven times before stabilizing his figure. The one-armed man, however, remained standing perfectly still.
The disparity in their strength was clear.
