Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 376 - 376 360 Battle with the Great Elder_1

376: Chapter 360: Battle with the Great Elder_1 376: Chapter 360: Battle with the Great Elder_1 Lu Chuan’s figure appeared from behind a distant large tree, and he waved his hand to recall the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Then, he hurriedly took out a bottle of elixir pills, poured out more than a dozen of them, and stuffed them all into his mouth.

Although using the Demon Suppression Pagoda to smash someone was effective, activating it once like this required Lu Chuan to consume eighty percent of his power.

Therefore, he had to rely on elixir pills to restore his power to its peak level to face the battle ahead.

Tu Youming climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and clearly had been injured.

He glared at Lu Chuan, his eyes filled with rage as he yelled, “Kid, you dare to use such tricks in front of me, do you really think you can beat me!”

Lu Chuan curled his lip and said, “Even if it’s a trick, you, a Nascent Soul skillful expert, got injured by a Golden Core Stage kid like me.

And you still talk tough here, isn’t that embarrassing?”

Tu Youming snorted coldly, and his aura burst forth, “Sharp-tongued brat, watch how I deal with you!”

Although he was injured and his combat effectiveness had been reduced, dealing with Lu Chuan, a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, was still more than easy for him.

Lu Chuan’s gaze sharpened as he quickly shouted, “What are you waiting for?

Attack him now while he’s injured!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures dashed rapidly towards Tu Youming.

On closer inspection, it was the Gu sisters, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang!

Tu Youming’s expression darkened when he saw them, and he gritted his teeth, “You two again!”

Gu Xiaorou spoke coldly, “Last time you were lucky to escape death.

This time my sister and I will make sure to take your dog life!”

Gu Xiaosang chimed in, “That’s right, if I don’t kill you, the grudge in my heart won’t be settled!”

After finishing her words, she also gave Lu Chuan a glare.

Lu Chuan thought to himself, it’s not like you’re trying to kill him because I used some means to get you and your sister to help me deal with Tu Youming.

When he first received the news from Mu Nanqing and learned that the Great Elder and Tu Youming had joined forces, Lu Chuan knew he had to find allies to stand a chance against them, or else it would be a death sentence for him and Shen Ruhai alone.

And the first people he thought of were the Gu sisters, who had previously promised to help him deal with Tu Youming.

However, since Gu Xiaosang had left without saying goodbye, he had no way of finding their whereabouts.

Just when he was at a loss, the Tower Spirit told him a way to find Gu Xiaosang using the Love Herb.

Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang had been affected by the enchantment of the Love Herb for a short time, feeling attraction towards each other, and then they kissed.

During that time, their bodies excreted some energy which was absorbed by the Love Herb.

Therefore, in the Love Herb’s perception, Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang were a bound pair.

As the saying goes, those in love are telepathic, so with the Love Herb’s assistance and some methods, it was possible to sense Gu Xiaosang’s approximate location.

It was this method that allowed Lu Chuan to confirm that Gu Xiaosang was still in Tiannan Province, and so he went in search of her.

When Lu Chuan found Gu Xiaosang, the woman was actually in a clothing shop buying Lolita dresses.

He laughed and asked her why she was buying these clothes when she didn’t like them, to which she defensively explained that she had suddenly found them pretty and came to buy them.

Then she was ready to take revenge on Lu Chuan and began to prepare for a fight.

With the help of Gu Xiaorou, the seal in her body had been lifted, and her strength had been restored.

Lu Chuan was there to seek help, so naturally, he could not fight with Gu Xiaosang.

After much persuasion, he managed to calm the lady down and then explained the purpose of his visit.

He wanted to offer the Divine Fire of the Sun as a reward and asked the sisters to take action against Tu Youming.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaosang immediately refused, indicating that she could just capture Lu Chuan now and force him to hand over the Divine Fire of the Sun, thus negating the need to deal with Tu Youming at all.

From his prior observation, Lu Chuan knew that Gu Xiaosang would react this way, but he also knew that the person Gu Xiaosang cared for most was her sister, as well as the one she feared the most.

Gu Xiaorou’s demeanor suggested that she was a sensible and dignified young lady from a reputable family.

If she knew about the previous incident of Gu Xiaosang’s deception and her subsequent rescue by Lu Chuan, she would definitely blame Gu Xiaosang.

Thus, he threatened Gu Xiaosang that he would tell Gu Xiaorou everything that happened between them if she did not agree.

Gu Xiaosang panicked at this, not worried that her sister would find out she fooled Lu Chuan, but fearful that her sister would learn about her pretending to be Lu Chuan’s girlfriend and that they had kissed.

Under pressure, she had to agree to Lu Chuan’s request, and also insisted on being the intermediary, forbidding any direct communication between Lu Chuan and her sister.

Lu Chuan didn’t mind these conditions; as long as the sisters were willing to help, that was all that mattered.

Lu Chuan then told Gu Xiaosang about the general situation and his detailed plan, which Gu Xiaosang relayed to Gu Xiaorou.

Gu Xiaosang agreed to take action with her sister when the time came.

Worried that Gu Xiaosang wouldn’t keep her word, Lu Chuan asked her to make a vow—if she broke the agreement, she would have to let him sleep with her once.

Gu Xiaosang made the vow without a second thought, contemptuously thinking to herself that if vows really worked, the gods would be exhausted.

After all, it was just empty talk; when the time came, she and her sister would simply not take action, and what could Lu Chuan do to her!

However, after she made the oath, Lu Chuan quietly pulled out the Love Herb from behind.

He then explained to her another function of the Love Herb: If a couple makes a vow in front of the Love Herb, they will receive its blessing, making the vow contractually binding.

Upon fulfilling the oath, one would be rewarded by the Love Herb, yet should they betray the vow, whatever punishment they promised at the time of swearing would truly be inflicted upon them.

This effect of the Love Herb only worked on couples, and by a strange twist of fate, Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang were precisely the couple recognized by the Love Herb.

Gu Xiaosang was dumbfounded after hearing Lu Chuan’s words, and then she felt the Love Herb exert a force upon her, which was clearly the power of the oath.

She immediately tried to snatch the Love Herb to smash the damn plant that brought harm to people.

Unfortunately, Lu Chuan was faster and directly stored it inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Even though Gu Xiaosang was stronger than Lu Chuan, it was absolutely impossible for her to retrieve the Love Herb from the storage space of the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Thinking that if she did not complete the agreement, she would have to let Lu Chuan sleep with her once, she had no choice but to put her scheming aside and seriously discuss the matter with Gu Xiaorou.

Gu Xiaorou originally intended to help Lu Chuan deal with Tu Youming, hoping in return, Lu Chuan would lend her the Divine Fire of the Sun to resolve her troubles.

She was completely unaware of the incidents that had occurred between Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaosang, so she agreed without a second thought.

And that oath was precisely the reason Gu Xiaosang had glared at Lu Chuan earlier.

She was, after all, the future aunt-in-law of Lu Chuan, and this bastard actually wished to bed her, which was simply preposterous!

Yet she couldn’t do anything to Lu Chuan, so her anger was directed entirely towards Tu Youming instead.

Tu Youming’s face turned extremely ugly as he watched the sister duo attack.

Now being wounded, whether he could withstand them was debatable.

Moreover, he felt that the elder sister seemed quite normal, but the younger sister appeared to harbor endless resentment, which seemed to greatly enhance her combat power, making it even harder for him to cope.

He cursed inwardly that the woman must have gone mad.

He looked at the Great Elder and shouted, “I can’t handle these two women on my own, hurry up and take down Lu Chuan, then come help me!”

The Great Elder did not hesitate, immediately giving the command, “Surround and attack Lu Chuan at once, show no mercy!”

The members of the Profound Sect were about to strike at Lu Chuan.

At this moment, Shen Ruhai, leading the Shen family forces, also charged over, intercepting the disciples of the Profound Sect.

Shen Ruhai looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Leave these people from the Profound Sect to me.

Focus on dealing with the Great Elder, I guarantee no one will interrupt you!”

Lu Chuan nodded, his gaze settling on the Great Elder as he said icily, “Now, it’s time to settle the score between us!”

The Great Elder, seeing the Shen family rushing to assist Lu Chuan, cursed inwardly and then retorted, “You, a junior, dare to speak to me like this?

If there’s an account to be settled, it is I who should be doing the reckoning!”

He directly released the aura of the Grade 2 Saint Realm, sweeping towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan, sensing this aura, furrowed his brow, “You’ve broken through?”

The Great Elder laughed heartily and said, “Indeed, I am now a Grade 2 Saint.

I’d like to see how you’ll contend with me!”

With that, he swung a palm towards Lu Chuan.

After a brief moment of surprise, Lu Chuan quickly regained his composure.

Even though the Great Elder had broken through to the Grade 2 Saint Realm, he was still undaunted!

The spiritual power within his body circulated, raising the surrounding temperature by several degrees, revealing the might of the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body as he too sent out a palm, colliding head-on with the Great Elder.

Their palms clashed, releasing a terrifying force that exploded outward, forcing both to retreat.

After this exchange, Lu Chuan was not at all at a disadvantage!

The Great Elder’s expression changed as he exclaimed, “How is this possible!

I am already a Grade 2 Saint, yet you can withstand my palm?”

Lu Chuan scoffed and replied, “Aside from your higher realm, in what aspect can you surpass me?

I can take not just one of your palms but also claim your old life!”

No sooner had his words fallen than the Azure Flood Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and he swung without a second’s hesitation.

Green Lotus Sword Method!

A massive sword shadow slashed towards the Great Elder’s head, making the heavens and the earth tremble.

“A Sky Rank martial arts skill?” The Great Elder narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, then two hands converged with power and with a fierce grip, he smashed a fist forward.

“Sky-Shattering Fist!”

A Sky Rank mid-grade martial arts skill!

A huge fist shadow emerged, colliding with the sword shadow.

They were locked momentarily, and then both shattered with a thunderous explosion.

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan darted towards the Great Elder, thrusting his sword toward his chest.

The Great Elder blocked the sword with his bare hand, and the sword struck his palm, clashing with a metallic ring.

Even against the incomparably sharp Azure Flood Dragon Sword, his palm remained unscathed!

Using every trick at their disposal, the two fought hundreds of moves, neither gaining the upper hand.

Eventually, due to his inferior realm, Lu Chuan began to show signs of strain after the prolonged battle.

Knowing he could not drag on any longer, lest he lose to the Great Elder, he hesitated no more.

Sheathing the Azure Flood Dragon Sword, he then stimulated the seed of the Divine Fire of the Sun within his dantian.

A fireball, comprised solely of the Divine Fire of the Sun, appeared in the palm of his hand, and slowly began to grow larger.
