Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1504: Chapter 1463: Combat

"Mistaken, gravely mistaken."

Mr. Lu shook his head, let out a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "This gate itself is not important; what matters are the people this gate protects. The Lu family has borne the duty of the Gatekeeper for generations. If, when the time comes, I choose betrayal, what face would I have to meet my ancestors after my death?"

"Stubborn and unwilling to see reason. Let’s see how long your overly hopeful grandson can hold out. Don’t worry, our struggle is just beginning."

As the man’s words fell, he suddenly flashed in front of Mr. Lu, with an eerie red light gleaming in his hand, aiming directly at Mr. Lu’s heart!

"The same trick from three hundred years ago and you’re still using it? You’ve truly made no progress at all."

Mr. Lu formed a hand into a blade, casually launching a palm strike, causing a burst of clear light that collided with the eerie red, neutralizing each other!

"What’s the hurry? This is just a test."

The man curled his lips, and with just a thought, a black shadow manifested behind him. Upon closer inspection, it was a Nine-headed Golden Lion, lunging forward with a mouth like a Blood Pool!

Seeing this, Mr. Lu’s pupils shook. After a moment of staring blankly, he immediately responded, blending Yin and Yang in his hands to form a barrier that barely withstood the attack of the Nine-headed Golden Lion!

"You actually succeeded?"

"Quite surprising, isn’t it?"

The remnant shadow of the lion dispersed, and the man then spread his arms, transforming into a Roc, attacking at such speed that even Mr. Lu nearly couldn’t react!

If the phantom of the Nine-headed Golden Lion was just a guess for Mr. Lu, then this Roc phantom fully confirmed his suspicion.

To refine the innate abilities of Demon Beasts into a Cultivation Technique suitable for human cultivation—this idea had been around for so long, Mr. Lu never expected someone could truly make it a reality!

"You do have some skill."

"This is merely the tip of the iceberg. I’m not in a rush to decide victory or defeat with you, after all, the real battlefield is no longer here, but on Earth.

As long as I can hold you, my mission is complete."

"Foolish delusion. Today’s Earth is no longer that world from three hundred years ago that could be bullied at will. People have found a suitable way to survive and don’t need others dictating to them. Leave the external matters to my dear grandson, but today, you’re not leaving here!"

Boom!

A muffled sound spread, with Spiritual Power surging from Mr. Lu’s body, dyeing this world in black and white!

"Yin Yang Reverse!"

Mr. Lu shouted, as black and white intermingled between heaven and earth, with an aura as if to obliterate everything in the world!

This move was deeply engraved in his memory.

Three hundred years ago, at this same place, he was defeated by Mr. Lu, precisely due to this move. After that battle, he almost perished and met his doom.

"Unfortunately, three hundred years have passed, and looking back now, it’s not much."

The man took a long breath, cradling the moon in his left arm, transforming his right palm into wings and soaring to the sky.

"Kunpeng Transformation!"

...

An hour before, at the Martial Alliance!

"Senior Nalan, what do you mean by this?"

Cao Heng’s face was as dark as water, staring fixedly at Nalan Xuan and Li Yingnu, speaking in a deep voice, "Senior means that if I do not compromise today, the Martial Alliance shall fall?"

"It has nothing to do with the Martial Alliance, only you, Cao Heng. If you’re unwilling to give up the position of Alliance Hierarch today, the only outcome for you is death. With the looming threat, I don’t have the time or energy to waste with you!"

"Fine, fine, fine, what a splendid strategy to cut off my retreat. Always talking about the impending threat, not uniting to face outward together but instead plotting against me. Senior Nalan, in terms of hypocrisy, you are no worse than I. You want an answer? No problem, I’ll tell you right now!

Giving up the position of Alliance Hierarch? Dream on! Unless I die, otherwise I am the Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Alliance!"

"I knew it, complete waste of words."

Li Yingnu scoffed in response, tightened her grip on her spear, and with a flourish created a spear flower, the cold glint directly pointing at Cao Heng.

"I will send you on your way now!"

Just as Li Yingnu finished speaking, a massive noise suddenly erupted, seemingly enough to spread across the entire world, smashing through clouds and splitting stones, deafening, shaking even the ground!

This sound even propagated directly to the Penglai Immortal Domain, where Lu Chuan abruptly sat up, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

This sound... he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

"Lu Chuan, are you alright?"

Kong Zhaozhao, also awakened, pulled the blanket in front of her, puzzled, "What... what exactly is that sound?"

"I don’t know... but one thing is certain—they’re back! Zhaozhao, go tell the Sect Master that he must be careful!"

"What about you? Are you leaving?"

Kong Zhaozhao bit her lip lightly, clinging tightly to Lu Chuan’s corner of clothing, choking back tears, "Stay here, Lu Chuan, it’s safe. You’ve just recovered from a serious injury, you can’t take risks!"

"I... I can’t."

Though Lu Chuan didn’t know exactly what was happening, there were still so many in the secular world that he cared about and couldn’t allow unexpected incidents to occur!

"Forgive me, Zhaozhao, I’ll come back."

With that, albeit with many reluctances, Lu Chuan could only break away from Kong Zhaozhao, transforming into a streak of light and dashing off!

Watching this, tears flowed endlessly down Kong Zhaozhao’s face.

Of course, she didn’t want Lu Chuan to leave, as there was no place safer than the Penglai Immortal Domain within the whole of Cathay so far, but Kong Zhaozhao also understood, there are always some people, who, even when faced with mortal danger, are truly invaluable to preserve.

Thinking thus, Kong Zhaozhao wiped her nose and rushed towards the Teaching Peak.

At this moment, everyone atop Teaching Peak was still discussing what might have caused such a loud sound when Kong Zhaozhao entered through the door.

"Father, that group... has returned!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Yuanliang’s expression suddenly changed.

Although he had long guessed that the strange noise was nine out of ten related to the Small World mentioned by Lu Chuan, the guess seemed hard to accept when it was confirmed.

"Zhaozhao, how did you know?"

"Lu Chuan has already left the Immortal Domain, and he asked me to tell you, Father, that it’s time to make a decision, whether to stand idly by as onlookers or form an alliance, time is running out for both us and them."

Meanwhile, in the secular world!

As Lu Chuan burst out of the Penglai Immortal Domain’s Array, a gigantic white tower towering as high as heaven and earth suddenly stood in the secular world, with countless Demon Beasts swarming out of the tower body!

Almost in an instant, the voice of the Tower Spirit sounded in his ear; until now, Lu Chuan had never seen the Tower Spirit so lost.

"Lu Chuan, run! It noticed me!"
