197: Chapter 191 Suzumiya Ichikazu’s Confession_1 197: Chapter 191 Suzumiya Ichikazu’s Confession_1 Lu Chuan hurried to Mu Nanqing’s side and asked with concern, “Sister-in-law, are you alright?”

Mu Nanqing shook her head then quickly said, “Go check on Su Ming, he’s been stabbed through by that guy just now.”

Lu Chuan’s expression tensed, and he hurried over to Su Ming, helping him up.

Su Ming still had blood bubbling from his throat, and blood continued to flow incessantly from his chest, but seeing Lu Chuan arrive in time brought a smile to his face.

“Gargle gargle…” He tried to speak, but the blood in his throat prevented him from speaking clearly.

Lu Chuan quickly used his spiritual power to seal Su Ming’s wounds, then began to assess the extent of his injuries.

Upon seeing Su Ming’s heart pierced by the blade, a fierce rage ignited within him.

Without hesitation, he used spiritual power to temporarily seal the wound on Su Ming’s heart, ensuring that he would not lose his life right then and there.

After sealing the wound, Su Ming’s throat stopped bleeding, and he smiled, saying, “Big Brother, I haven’t let you down…”

“However, this time I might really be dying…”

Lu Chuan said gravely, “You haven’t let me down, and I won’t let you die just like this.

Trust me, I will save you!”

As he spoke, he took out a hundred-year medicinal herb from the Demon Suppression Pagoda, quickly extracting its essence with spiritual power and feeding it to Su Ming.

Su Ming smiled as he looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “I believe in you, Big Brother!”

After that, he slowly closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

Lu Chuan felt for Su Ming’s pulse and, after confirming he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he took out silver needles and quickly sealed some of Su Ming’s acupoints, minimizing the wear on his bodily functions to prolong his survival time.

Su Ming’s injuries were severe, with his heart being penetrated by a sharp weapon.

A common person would have likely died already.

All Lu Chuan could do at the moment was to keep Su Ming clinging to life while planning to seek a cure for him later.

After ensuring that Su Ming’s condition had stabilized, Lu Chuan carefully placed him on the ground.

He stood up, turned around to face the two beasts from the Island Country, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

If it weren’t for Su Ming’s desperate efforts to buy time today, Mu Nanqing and the others would probably have fallen victim to these two beasts, and Su Ming would have nearly lost his life, pushing Lu Chuan into a berserk state.

If he didn’t kill these two dogs today, how could he live up to Su Ming calling him Big Brother over and over again!

Kitahara Yuuichi and Kitahara Takumi both stood up, their faces full of wariness.

The strength displayed by Lu Chuan just now was way beyond their imagination, and even if they joined forces, they would not be his match.

Kitahara Yuuichi said, “Friend, we meant no offense, we simply came here to take Suzumiya Ichikazu with us.

How about you hand him over, and we leave right away?

That way, our grudge can end here.

What do you say?”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly, “You almost killed my brother, and now you want to settle this grudge?

Do you think that’s possible?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged towards Kitahara Yuuichi.

Kitahara Yuuichi’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately exerted his full strength to resist Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan overpowered Kitahara Yuuichi with spiritual power, breaking through all his defenses, and then kicked him in the knee.

Crack, Kitahara Yuuichi’s knee shattered completely.

Lu Chuan then kicked out again, breaking his other knee as well.

Kitahara Yuuichi screamed, falling to his knees on the ground.

Kitahara Takumi, seeing this, was terrified out of his wits and shouted, “I’ll have you know, we’re from the Kitahara aristocratic family.

You lowly Cathay people better behave yourselves, or the Kitahara family will not let you off!”

Lu Chuan appeared in front of him in a flash, grabbed his arm, and broke it.

“Lowly Cathay people?

A tiny whelp from the Island Country, where does this confidence come from?”

Kitahara Takumi screamed miserably but still defiantly said, “The Kitahara family is indeed superior to you Cathay people.

If you dare touch me again, my Kitahara…

Ah!!!”

Lu Chuan abruptly broke his other arm, “What about it, if I touch you?”

Kitahara Takumi’s face turned pale with terror as he looked at Lu Chuan, pleading, “I…

I was wrong; please spare me.”

Lu Chuan sneered, “Is that all the backbone you have?

Are all the people in the Kitahara family spineless like you?”

Kitahara Takumi begged, “I’m spineless.

Big brother, daddy, grandpa!

Please spare me!”

Lu Chuan curled his lip and kicked him to the ground.

He then picked up the katana that had fallen on the ground, walked over to Kitahara Takumi, and said, “The same weapon you used to pierce my brother’s body, I’ll let you taste what it feels like!”

Having said that, he aimed the katana at Kitahara Takumi’s heart and thrust it in fiercely.

Kitahara Takumi’s face showed sheer terror, trying to dodge, but was immobilized by Lu Chuan’s spiritual power, unable to move an inch.

Shwick!

The katana pierced through Kitahara Takumi’s chest.

Kitahara Takumi struggled intensely.

Lu Chuan, not feeling this was enough, pulled out the katana and thrust it back in several times.

Kitahara Takumi’s eyes quickly reddened, blood bubbled up from his mouth, and his face turned a ghastly purple from pain.

Soon, he stopped struggling, motionless.

His eyes were wide open—a true picture of dying with his eyes unshut.

Lu Chuan, still holding the katana, moved in front of Kitahara Yuuichi, “Your turn.”

Kitahara Yuuichi also had a face full of horror, even burst into tears, saying, “Big Brother, spare me, I haven’t gotten married yet, I still want to live a few more years, please give me one chance, I will definitely turn over a new leaf!”

Lu Chuan laughed mockingly and said, “You beast, no matter who you marry, you’ll only harm them.

To spare the world one less scourge, it’s better that you die!”

Having said that, he thrust the katana through Kitahara Yuuichi’s heart.

Kitahara Yuuichi’s eyes widened with anger, his body convulsed a few times, and then he died.

After dealing with these two men, Lu Chuan finally felt like he had vented the anger in his heart and felt much better.

Mu Nanqing, Suzumiya Ichikazu, and Zhou Siming all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Chuan turned his head to Zhou Siming and said, “Old Zhou, please take care of these two guys’ bodies.”

Zhou Siming promptly said, “Don’t worry, I will handle it well.”

Lu Chuan nodded, walked over to Su Ming, picked him up, and went into the house.

Mu Nanqing and Suzumiya Ichikazu followed him into the house.

Lu Chuan laid Su Ming on the bed and, observing his unconscious state, sighed deeply.

Mu Nanqing asked with a worried expression, “Xiaochuan, how is Su Ming doing?

Your medical skills are so formidable, you can surely save him, right?”

Lu Chuan said, “His condition is extremely bad, I’ve merely preserved his last breath, it’s hard to say if he can be saved.”

A stab through the heart is a fatal injury, even in the Cultivation World, it’s very difficult to heal.

Lu Chuan had to carefully study his inherited memories to know if he could really save Su Ming.

Upon hearing this, Suzumiya Ichikazu’s eyes reddened immediately.

She knelt down in front of Lu Chuan, full of self-blame, and said, “It’s all my fault.

If it wasn’t for me, Big Brother Su Ming wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Big Brother Lu Chuan, I’m sorry, you can kill me!”

Lu Chuan looked at Suzumiya Ichikazu, reached out, and lifted her up.

“I promised I would help you deal with the Kitahara family, this matter is not your fault.

I’m the one who didn’t consider everything thoroughly.

Don’t be so dramatic.”

Suzumiya Ichikazu’s face flushed with embarrassment as she meekly replied, “Yeah.”

Mu Nanqing turned his head to look at Suzumiya Ichikazu and asked, “Those two said you took something from them, which is why they came after you.

Why haven’t you mentioned this before?”

Suzumiya Ichikazu replied with a shameful expression, “Yes…

I lied.

The reason the Kitahara aristocratic family was so determined to catch me and make me Kitahara Sousuke’s little wife was secondary.

The real reason is that I accidentally took away something extremely precious from the Kitahara family.

I didn’t dare bring it up before because I didn’t know Big Brother Lu Chuan well enough…”

Lu Chuan asked with a smile, “Were you afraid that once I knew, I’d kill you and take the treasure?”

Suzumiya Ichikazu stole a glance at Lu Chuan and, though she knew it was a bad thought, still nodded, “Mhm…”

She then quickly added, “But now I know how righteous, reliable, and trustworthy Big Brother Lu Chuan is!

Now, even if Ichikazu had to give up her life, she wouldn’t hesitate!”

Lu Chuan, finding it a bit funny to see the strong desire to live in Suzumiya Ichikazu, asked, “What is the treasure you took?”

Suzumiya Ichikazu said, “A dragon vein…”

Lu Chuan was startled for a moment, “Dragon vein?”

Suzumiya Ichikazu nodded, “The Kitahara family in the Island Country has a total of four such dragon veins, all secretly stolen from Cathay.

The fact that the Kitahara aristocratic family has become one of the top families there is not unrelated to these four dragon veins.”

“The day I was invited to the Kitahara family as a guest, I inadvertently discovered this.

At that time, I didn’t know what was happening, but one of the dragon veins flew towards me.

It was only afterwards that the Kitahara family learned of this.

Since these four dragon veins were a secret of the Kitahara family, they immediately ordered my capture to bring me back.

Given the situation back then, it was very likely that they would have silenced me.

Out of desperation, I fled to Cathay.”

It dawned on Lu Chuan; he had been wondering how a place as tiny as the Island Country could harbor a dragon vein.

It turned out they were stolen from Cathay all along, no wonder they were so eager to bring Suzumiya Ichikazu back.

At the same time, he also understood why capturing a little girl like Suzumiya Ichikazu necessitated the mobilization of two masters of the Transcendent Realm Level 6.

“It seems that this Kitahara family really isn’t anything good, to dare steal our Cathay dragon veins.

Isn’t this the same as stealing Cathay’s fates and fortunes!” Lu Chuan said angrily, turning his head to ask Suzumiya Ichikazu, “Where is the dragon vein you brought out?”

Suzumiya Ichikazu hesitated for a moment, but still honestly said, “It ran into my body.

Originally, there was no movement from it, but on the day I met Big Brother Lu Chuan, I felt it become active.

It seems to really like Big Brother Lu Chuan, so that’s why I am seeking Big Brother Lu Chuan’s help.”

Lu Chuan was somewhat puzzled, “Could it be because of my True Dragon Destiny?”

After a moment of thought, he said to Suzumiya Ichikazu, “We’ll talk about the dragon vein in your body later, I need to think of a way to save Su Ming first.”

Suzumiya Ichikazu nodded seriously, as by now she had essentially entrusted her life and fate to Lu Chuan.

She would have no objections to whatever arrangements Lu Chuan made.

Lu Chuan found a quiet place and began to quickly leaf through his inherited memories, looking for a way to save Su Ming.

…

A hidden location.

Inside a gloomy and deadly cave.

Xu Yuan was kneeling, his face filled with fear and his body trembling, before a sinister man sitting on a throne, wearing a dark red robe, with a long and thin face and sporting two long, beard-like whiskers.

Next to him lay the body of Venom Scorpion.

“How did my brother die?

That Lu Chuan is only at the strength of Transcendent Realm Level 3.

How could he kill Venom Scorpion of Transcendent Realm Level 6!” the sinister man bellowed angrily.

This man was the Pavilion Master of the Secret Kill House, Venom Scorpion’s brother, Wu Gong.

Xu Yuan said in trembling fear, “Pavilion Master, that Lu Chuan has risen rapidly.

A year ago, he was just a delivery man, but a year later, he gained such power that even my elder brother died attempting to curse him, only to be backfired upon.

This can only mean that Lu Chuan possesses a great treasure, and it’s very likely that Venom Scorpion was killed by this treasure!”

He didn’t know precisely how Lu Chuan had killed Venom Scorpion, but as long as he could convince the Pavilion Master of the Secret Kill House to act against Lu Chuan, his purpose would be achieved.

After Xu Cheng’s death, the Xu family was in turmoil.

This was the only method he could think of to get revenge on Lu Chuan.

After hearing Xu Yuan’s words, Wu Gong’s eyes narrowed, murmuring, “A lowly human, what right does he have to possess such a treasure!

Venom Scorpion was my brother in adversity for many years.

Since he died at the hands of this Lu Chuan, then I cannot sit by and do nothing!”

“Issue the Secret Kill Decree immediately, and bring me that Lu Chuan!”

“Yes!” a group of subordinates shouted.

A sly smile appeared on Xu Yuan’s face.
