Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1278 - 1278 1238 Final Deadline

1278: Chapter 1238: Final Deadline 1278: Chapter 1238: Final Deadline Lu Shenji looked up at the Swarm of Crows, completely stunned.

The adjutant was also full of panic, shouting loudly: “General Lu, what on earth is going on?

Why did so many crows suddenly appear?”

“I don’t know, it might be related to Lu You.”

“Related to Lu You?

Impossible, she’s already dead, it can’t be related to her!” claimed the adjutant, incredulous.

Swish!!

The next moment, all the crows in the sky dived down, converging and plummeting towards the adjutant’s position.

The surrounding soldiers all panicked and fled, moving away from the area.

Lu Shenji also hastily stepped back two steps, not daring to approach.

Swish!!

The dense crowd of crows landed, enveloping the adjutant.

“General, save me!

What on earth is going on?!”

He screamed in horror.

“Ah!!”

His screams echoed around, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Lu Shenji, nervous, swallowed his saliva while watching the scene unfold before him.

Swish!!

Suddenly, the group of crows that had gathered into a ball dispersed.

Then, what everyone saw was the adjutant turned into a skeleton.

The figure of Lu You emerged, her pair of wings fluttering behind her, lifting her into the air.

However, her lower half was still two severed limbs, and blood was still dripping down.

At this moment, Lu You’s hair had turned white, and her face showed exhaustion.

She slowly lifted her head to look at Lu Shenji.

“Lu Shenji, you are too slow,” she said faintly.

“It’s not that I arrived late…

it’s that he’s too fast,” responded Lu Shenji.

Lu Shenji, still unsettled, looked at her and asked: “What exactly is your situation now?

Can I know?

Are you dead or alive now?”

“Half-dead, I guess…

I’ve exhausted my last bit of lifespan, maybe I can live another four or five days, I’m not sure,” she replied.

“I thought you were feigning death, tricking Lu Chuan to leave before recovering,” said Lu Shenji.

Lu You gave a bitter smile, “There aren’t so many tactics for resurrection from death, this is my final life, I must kill Lu Chuan, and you must cooperate with me!”

Lu Shenji nodded slightly; originally he had planned to lead his troops back, but with Lu You’s appearance, he had to change his plans.

“If you really want to fight that bastard to the end, then I’ll join you.

But…

his strength is very strong, if there is no certain possibility of victory, I won’t fight to the bitter end, I will not do something that needlessly sacrifices lives,” Lu Shenji remained as cautious as ever.

Lu You continued, “We must kill that guy, otherwise I won’t be able to die peacefully!”

She said angrily.

“Well, okay, then let’s fight him one last time!”

“But, in your current state, can you still fight?”

He looked at Lu You with some concern.

Currently, Lu You was still in a weakened state, half her body missing.

If not for a pair of wings, she wouldn’t even have the ability to move.

“Of course I can, setting up Formations is still something I can do easily.”

“Let’s go back to Tang City now.

There are still many Puppets there that Lu Chuan can’t control.

After we regroup, we can form a powerful fighting force.”

Lu Shenji nodded slightly, “No problem, let’s head there now.”

Lu You continued, “I need you to make me a chair, one that can let me move freely.

Using blood wings all the time is exhausting.”

“No problem, I can help you.”

…

Lu Shenji’s army did not return but chose to continue fighting.

At this time, Lu Chuan had also returned to Tang City via Sword Flight.

Looking down at an open space below, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered there.

However, they had all turned into Puppets, already lifeless, supported by the remaining soul fragments within their bodies, thus retaining some of their behaviors and memories from when they were alive.

Lu Chuan, being the commander of this army, naturally had control over it.

He planned to take this army and leave the area, heading back to Bai Yan City to assist with the matters there.

If Lu Shenji were to attack, he could use these Puppets to fight.

Under Lu Chuan’s control, the soldiers left Tang City.

Subsequently, Lu Chuan stretched out his left hand and released the Divine Fire of the Sun.

He planned to burn the entire city to the ground, as there were too many remaining Puppets and the entire city reeked of gloom, lifeless and filled with the walking dead.

If he didn’t burn this place to the ground, it would simply pollute the air.

Lu Chuan gathered a fireball and let it drop towards the city.

Like a golden rain falling, the fireball spread apart, and flames fell, landing on the houses and began burning fiercely.

The burning was quick, and soon the city turned into a sea of fire, continuously burning, resembling a scene from hell.

In the midst of the fire sea, one could still see figures wandering.

These Puppets had lost their sense of pain and were naturally dispersed after being destroyed by the fire.

The whole city seemed like a huge bonfire, with flames raging powerfully.

Right after that, Lu Chuan continued with Sword Flight and returned to Bai Yan City.

Even though it was deep into the night, it did not affect Lu Chuan’s travel at night.

However, continuous battles, Sword Flight, releasing Divine Fire, and another Sword Flight had drained a great amount of Spiritual Energy.

Lu Chuan had to replenish it continuously.

Carrying a Divine Tree branch was like having an unlimited power bank, continuously refilling his energy.

But one problem that couldn’t be changed was physical stamina.

Having busied himself with so many things, both his energy and physical strength were drained, only a sleep could restore him to his peak.

Thus, even unlimited Spiritual Energy did not turn him into a perpetual motion machine.

Lu Chuan continued his journey towards Bai Yan City.

And Lu Shenji and his group arrived at Tang City shortly after.

When they saw the city engulfed in flames, even reflecting the sky red, they were all dumbfounded.

Lu You’s cheeks flushed with anger.

Lu Chuan had literally blocked her last path!

Her Puppets had all been burned in the city, and now she only had one Formation left to use.

And her strongest Formation could not inflict fatal damage on Lu Chuan.

For a moment, Lu You felt somewhat despairing, wondering how she was going to deal with Lu Chuan!

They set up camp on the spot for a brief rest, meanwhile contemplating how to deal with Lu Chuan.

After a night’s travel, Lu Chuan finally settled the Puppet Army in a dense forest near Bai Yan City.

Following that, he returned to the city via Sword Flight.

Inside Dongfang Residence, Lu Chuan landed.

In the courtyard, the figure of Dongfang Cheng sat alone, silently sipping tea, patiently reading.

Lu Chuan landed, jumped down to the ground, the sword in the air flipped once before being sheathed.

Having sheathed the Soul Terminating Sword, Lu Chuan approached Dongfang Cheng.

Dongfang Cheng quickly stood up, “Lu Chuan!

You’re back!”
