Chapter 1032 - 1032 992 A Major Blow to the Ming Family

1032: Chapter 992: A Major Blow to the Ming Family 1032: Chapter 992: A Major Blow to the Ming Family Sword Qi flames burst upon the guard’s body, instantly engulfing him in fire.

“Ah!!!!”

The guard immediately let out a scream of agony, flinging away his precious sword and frantically slapping the flames on his body.

However, his struggles were ineffective as the flames furiously burned on his body without any sign of weakening.

He had sensed the power of the Divine Fire of the Sun from the beginning, but his pride was too great; he still fearlessly charged at Lu Chuan.

Consequently, he was consumed by the Divine Fire of the Sun without any power to resist, destined to burn to ashes within the flames.

After a struggle and a series of screams, he knelt on the ground, seemingly drained of all his strength, gradually slumping and losing all signs of life.

The other guards who had come along, seeing such a ghastly sight, were all trembling, with some even wetting themselves.

Lu Chuan ended the man’s life with a swift stroke of his sword.

For those around him, this event was tremendously shocking, but for Lu Chuan, ending this man’s life was a trivial matter.

This man’s martial arts skills were mediocre at best; it was apparent he had recently advanced to the Martial Saint Realm and though he could exchange blows with Lu Chuan in swordsmanship skills,

his weapons and martial arts skills were basically at the level of the Martial Emperor Realm.

Thus, under the onslaught of Lu Chuan’s Divine Fire of the Sun, his martial arts skills seemed particularly weak, utterly unable to withstand a direct confrontation.

After ending his life, the surrounding guards dispersed in panic, rushing to leave without daring to linger.

For them, if their captain could die so miserably, they certainly had no chance.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Dongfang Cheng hurried over, “All these people have run away, should we detain them and deal with them all?”

“There’s no need; those are all servants of the Ming family.

Killing them serves no purpose.”

“Let them go back and report what happened here.

I’m curious to see how the Ming family will react.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “But if the Ming family is driven to desperation and they use all their power against us, what should we do?”

Lu Chuan slightly furrowed his brow and pondered, “The Ming family would likely not dare to risk everything; for even if they won, they would enter a long period of weakness.”

“At that time, they would be just setting themselves up to be taken advantage of by the Su family or other clans.”

“However, if they don’t use all their strength, they’ll hardly pose any threat to me.

It all depends on how they decide.”

“Right now, the initiative is in our hands.”

Lu Chuan smiled and then began to make his way towards the Yu Residence.

Dongfang Cheng, following behind Lu Chuan, also calmed his emotions.

“Now we’ll see how the Ming family handles it; they’re definitely enraged and likely won’t hold back anymore.”

…

On the streets, the other passersby had witnessed everything, leaving them profoundly shocked.

In their minds, the Ming family and Su family were among the most elite aristocratic families in Cloud Sea City,

the kind that no one dared to provoke or challenge!

Yet now, someone had indeed come forward with the courage to challenge the Ming family, which was utterly astonishing.

Lu Chuan returned to the Yu Residence and immediately saw Qiming approaching.

“Young Master Lu, I just received the news that you all had returned!”

“Ming Zongsheng was killed, and their family’s strongest guard also lost his life!”

“This must drive the Ming family insane.”

“However, they will surely strike back at us more cruelly now.”

As Qiming and Lu Chuan walked together inside the courtyard, Qiming’s face was filled with worry.

Despite being pleased with the news of Ming Zongsheng’s death, he was also concerned about what might happen next,

Lu Chuan turned to him and said, “I need you to do something for me now: put the Ming family on the grill and add fuel to the fire.”

“What should I do?” Qiming curiously asked.

“Send people from our family to post notices everywhere, informing the Ming family that they must face us in a duel to the death, asking their patriarch to come forward personally as I want to challenge him!”

“Is that really wise?

The patriarch of the Ming family certainly won’t come out to fight just like that.”

Lu Chuan laughed, “If he doesn’t dare to come out and fight, then in the eyes of the city, the Ming family will have chickened out, which will embarrass them greatly.”

“If he dares to accept, I will use all my strength to kill the patriarch of the Ming family!”

“Once the Ming family loses their leader, we will have a chance of winning.”

Qiming nodded heavily; “Don’t worry, leave it to me, I’ll handle it and ensure it’s sorted out by tonight!”

Thus, he hurriedly turned and left, calling the caretaker to prepare everything together.

By evening,

Notices from the Yu family were plastered all over the streets and alleys of the city.

The first line of each notice was a call to challenge.

The Yu family challenges the Ming family, requesting the Ming family patriarch to come out and duel, with the victor taking all and the loser losing everything!

The pedestrians who saw these notices began discussing it heatedly, as a large crowd of onlookers was highly intrigued.

Such a challenge to the Ming family by a lesser family was practically a slap in the face!

Meanwhile, inside the Ming Family Residence,

In the Council Hall, the patriarch of the Ming family, Ming Baixuan, and all the core members of the family gathered together, each with grave expressions, in a very tense atmosphere.

“The events of today have completely humiliated our Ming family!”

Ming Baixuan, sitting in the main seat, angrily slapped the table, veins bulging on his forehead.

He looked around at everyone and said, “Do you all realize that my youngest son was killed, killed by that scoundrel Lu Chuan?

That bastard is detestable; if I don’t kill him, I do not deserve to carry the Ming surname!”

He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

“Moreover, our family’s strongest guard was also killed by him; that bastard is indeed formidable, and we must deal with him harshly!”

He shouted angrily.

Then, a person beside him stood up and bowed, suggesting, “Respected Patriarch, this guy has openly issued a challenge, clearly seeking a fight to the death with you.

He must be very confident in his own strength; I think it would not be wise to accept this challenge.”

“Of course, I won’t accept; what right does he have to duel with me?”

“We, the Ming family, are like a giant carriage, while the Yu family and Lu Chuan are just mantises blocking the way.”

“They think they can stop the wheels of our advance, which is nothing but a fool’s dream.”

“The Yu family…

thinks they can do whatever they want just because they’ve hired a fighter, but I’ll show them that they’ve messed with the wrong people!”
