Chapter 1397: Chapter 1356 Qualified Family Head

“How does it feel? Not too pleasant, right?”

Lu Chuan curled the corner of his lips, expending all his strength to suppress Grand Elder Huang Quan beneath him. The radiant blood hole in his chest grew even more ferocious under the burning of the Divine Fire. Grand Elder Huang Quan gritted his teeth tightly, his face flushed red.

“This… this cannot be possible!”

Seeing the fox tail suddenly sprouting from Lu Chuan’s back, Grand Elder Huang Quan was incredulous.

At this point, Lu Chuan still held another trump card? How dare he!

“I told you, today, only one of us will walk out of this cage alive. And that person will be me!”

“This isn’t over, not yet!”

Grand Elder Huang Quan roared, the Spiritual Power within his body surged wildly, a powerful shockwave instantly sent Lu Chuan flying. Xiu Niang reached out casually, her silk wires weaving into a giant net that intercepted Lu Chuan.

“Are you hurt?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

The fox tail behind Lu Chuan remained swaying slightly. Seeing this scene, Xiu Niang couldn’t help but find it somewhat strange.

It wasn’t that the sight was particularly jarring—rather, when paired with Lu Chuan’s face, there truly was an alluring touch of fox spirit charm, deeply captivating.

Her cheeks flushed slightly red as Xiu Niang quietly turned her head away, no longer looking at Lu Chuan, and said seriously, “Be careful. He’s likely about to use his ultimate move.”

“No problem, he won’t hold out much longer.”

Having his heart almost completely pierced by the Flame Spear, to this day, Lu Chuan had never encountered anyone capable of recovering from injuries caused by the Divine Fire of the Sun—no exceptions, not even Grand Elder Huang Quan!

Watching the Blood Sea gradually gathering beneath Grand Elder Huang Quan’s feet, Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a sense of foreboding suddenly surged within him.

No wonder he was once a calamity to the world—a formidable man capable of rising from defeat, his strength unbelievably profound.

If, today, it were not just Grand Elder Huang Quan’s Divine Sense that escaped but his physical body as well, fully restored and able to unleash his entire power, Lu Chuan might not stand much chance against him!

But now, victory has already been decided.

Faced with the overwhelming, sky-covering waves of the Blood Sea, Lu Chuan had no intention of confronting it head-on. With a flick of his hand, the Ink Cage instantly disintegrated. Lu Chuan seized Xiu Niang’s slender waist and turned, fleeing without hesitation!

Seeing this, Grand Elder Huang Quan’s face instantly turned ashen, gritting his teeth in fury!

He was already at his last stand, and this attack was meant to be his swan song. He had thought that whether or not Lu Chuan would perish alongside him, he could at least severely wound him!

But Lu Chuan just ran away like this!

The humiliation, the anger—such overwhelming emotions intertwined and filled Grand Elder Huang Quan, driving him to the brink of madness. He tried to forcibly activate the Blood Sea to chase after Lu Chuan, but in that instant, a long blade came from behind, striking with immense force and pinning Grand Elder Huang Quan to the ground, killing him in an instant!

“Finally… finally!”

Only then did Grand Elder Huang Quan realize that the Head of the Miyamoto Family, who should have fallen long ago, had somehow survived by unknown means!

“The Miyamoto Family will make you pay the price!”

Gongben Taro, with a savage expression, pounced on Grand Elder Huang Quan, biting into his neck and violently ripping out a chunk of flesh!

“You’re still alive?!”

“You slaughtered over two thousand of my Miyamoto Family members. If I don’t avenge them, even in the netherworld, I will crawl back to do it!”

Gongben Taro curled his lips into a grin, a hint of triumph flashing across his face.

“Remember, your life was claimed by me!”

…

In the distance, seeing the Blood Sea dissipate, Lu Chuan finally exhaled a long breath.

“Looks like it’s over.”

“Shameless…”

“Huh? How am I shameless? Speak clearly!”

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, lightly smacking Xiu Niang’s Tun’er. Xiu Niang, unwilling to yield, grabbed Lu Chuan’s tail and tugged hard. In that instant, Lu Chuan felt a sudden rush, letting out an uncontrollable sound.

It was peculiar. The tail wasn’t his, yet Lu Chuan could vividly feel the sensation.

“You… don’t touch that.”

“I’ll touch it, just to spite you. What can you do about it?”

“If you don’t want me to exact justice on the spot, you better behave. Do you hear me?”

Grinding his teeth, Lu Chuan suppressed the raging fire within himself before retracing their steps.

The Earth Amulet was still in Grand Elder Huang Quan’s possession. Moreover, Lu Chuan needed to confirm that Huang Quan was truly dead. This man had too many cunning tricks up his sleeve, and only by witnessing his demise with his own eyes would Lu Chuan feel at ease.

Before long, returning to the ruins of the Miyamoto Family, Lu Chuan found Grand Elder Huang Quan’s corpse, and beside it, the badly battered and gasping Gongben Taro, slumped amidst the debris.

“Head of the Miyamoto Family?”

“…Ah, Mr. Lu Chuan. Thank you for striking a mortal blow against this beast, allowing me to… cough cough! Allowing me to deliver the final blow. With this… I can die without regrets.”

Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately rushed forward to check Gongben Taro’s pulse.

His aura was faint—practically undetectable. Clearly, he was already nearing the end of his strength.

“Mr. Lu Chuan, don’t waste your energy. I know the state I’m in. My body is gravely wounded, my soul fragmented, and my Nascent Soul irreparably damaged. There’s no chance for recovery.”

Gongben Taro spat out blood, his mouth tugging into a smile.

“Unless Mr. Lu Chuan possesses the legendary Immortal Pill, there’s no saving me.”

Lu Chuan remained silent.

Gongben Taro wasn’t wrong. With Lu Chuan’s current skills, there was no way to save someone teetering on the edge of death. Besides, Gongben Taro’s Nascent Soul was so shattered that even rebuilding his physical body was impossible.

“The Miyamoto Family… all 2,715 members gave their lives fighting the Yin Ghost Sect. We annihilated the sect entirely, including its Sect Master… hahahaha! Mr. Lu Chuan, you don’t mind if I steal your credit, do you?”

“Of course not. Grand Elder Huang Quan perished at your hands.”

Crouching down, Lu Chuan took out several elixir pills. Though they couldn’t heal Gongben Taro fully, at least they could keep him alive for a few more days.

But before Lu Chuan could place the pills into Gongben Taro’s mouth, it seemed his final wish had already been fulfilled. With a smile on his face, he passed away completely.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan sighed deeply and gently closed Gongben Taro’s eyes.

“He was a worthy Family Head.”

Lu Chuan was sure that when the Yin Ghost Sect attacked, Gongben Taro must have had the chance to flee alone. But instead, he chose to fight to the death against them. Until the very end, he landed the decisive blow against Grand Elder Huang Quan. He was worthy of respect, and Lu Chuan could not—would not—let him simply be left exposed in the wilderness.

Lu Chuan decided to erect an anonymous monument for Gongben Taro, and for each member of the Miyamoto Family.
