Chapter 471 - 471 443 Cousin Part 1

471: Chapter 443 Cousin (Part 1) 471: Chapter 443 Cousin (Part 1) Dark Night Rose looked at Lu Chuan blocking her attack and her face revealed a trace of surprise.

She didn’t hesitate, a longsword appeared in her hand, and she leaped from the rooftop, soaring toward Lu Chuan to strike.

Lu Chuan, with a look of complete confusion on his face, thought to himself, “Isn’t Dark Night Rose supposed to champion justice?

Why would she suddenly come to kill me?”

I haven’t done anything outrageous or wicked!

There was no time to think further; the Azure Flood Dragon Sword instantly appeared in his hand, parrying the attack of Dark Night Rose.

As their longswords collided, the clanging of metal resounded, and terrifying waves of force dispersed in all directions, knocking Mu Nanqing to the ground not far away and shattering a nearby stone table from the immense force of the impact.

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, knowing he couldn’t continue fighting Dark Night Rose here.

Otherwise, not only would Mu Nanqing be affected, but the medical clinic would also be destroyed.

Without delay, he sent a message to Mu Nanqing, “I’ll lead her away.

Don’t worry about me—although she is powerful, I’m more than capable of handling her.

Wait for my news at home.”

Then he charged toward Dark Night Rose, grabbed her, and took off into the sky, flying toward the outskirts of Cloud City.

Dark Night Rose showed a face full of surprise and asked, “Are you from Penglai Immortal Domain?”

Lu Chuan was quite astonished, not expecting Dark Night Rose to know about Penglai Immortal Domain.

He immediately denied it, saying, “No, why?

Do you think only those from Penglai Immortal Domain can fly?”

Dark Night Rose snorted coldly and took another swing at Lu Chuan.

Although she couldn’t fly, as a Grade 8 Saint, she wasn’t worried about falling from several hundred meters in the air.

Lu Chuan stopped Dark Night Rose and said, “Wait to make your move.

There are only civilians below us.

You are the heroine Dark Night Rose in the people’s eyes.

Surely you wouldn’t commit such a deed that harms the innocent, right?”

Upon hearing this, Dark Night Rose stopped attacking, looking at Lu Chuan with puzzlement and asked, “Dark Night Rose?

What is that?”

Lu Chuan responded, “It’s a nickname the netizens gave you.

What, don’t you use the internet?”

Dark Night Rose snorted again, saying, “These so-called netizens really have no taste, giving me such an awful nickname!”

Looking helplessly annoyed, Lu Chuan asked, “Then what is your real name?”

Dark Night Rose curled her lips and said, “There’s no need for a man about to die to know my name!”

Lu Chuan was speechless and said, “I have no grudge against you, and I haven’t done anything atrocious, so why do you want to kill me?”

Dark Night Rose shouted, “Because you deserve to die!”

At this time, the two had arrived above the outskirts, over a forest rarely trodden by people.

Dark Night Rose, no longer held back, rushed at Lu Chuan with her sword again.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan let go of Dark Night Rose, allowing her to fall from a hundred meters high.

Nonetheless, Dark Night Rose remained unfazed; she waved her sword, unleashing Sword Qi to slow her descent, and ultimately landed gently in the forest without injury.

Lu Chuan dove toward Dark Night Rose, deciding to no longer hold back.

He swung the Azure Flood Dragon Sword over his head, cutting down fiercely at her.

The terrifying Sword Qi instantly tore through the air, charging straight for Dark Night Rose.

Dark Night Rose immediately channeled her power into her longsword, adopting a defensive stance, creating a sturdy defense in front of her.

The Sword Qi tore a trench nearly a meter deep in the ground, but Dark Night Rose managed to withstand the power of the Sword Qi unscathed.

Her gaze hardened, and she launched a fierce attack.

The two clashed intensely, and instantly, the forest was caught in a tempest of power.

The onslaught blasted through trees, rocks, and the ground, emitting deafening roars, sending birds and beasts in the vicinity scattering in fear.

The battle intensified, with their powers clashing and creating a ferocious energy storm.

Each move was filled with intent to kill, each sword strike demonstrating astounding skill and power.

Amidst the forest, their battle seemed to be the center of the world, stirring the forces of heaven and earth.

Lu Chuan roared, and a gigantic azure flood dragon phantom emerged behind him, which let out a heavenly cry in harmony with the Sword Qi, its mighty presence magnified.

He launched a rapid assault with his sword, with Sword Qi like a dragon, breaking through the air.

Dark Night Rose, on the other hand, turned into a streak of light, swiftly weaving through the forest.

Her sword danced like the wind, her Sword Qi like a rainbow, each slash bringing forth a dazzling light.

Her figure flickered, like a rose in the night—beautiful yet deadly.

The fighting went on, their movements as quick as lightning, their Sword Qi crisscrossing in all directions.

In the silence of the forest, each of their exchanges seemed to break the quietness, each move declaring their presence.

Their breaths grew ragged and their heartbeats quickened, pushing their strength to the utmost limit.

After a lengthy exchange, the two separated following a head-on clash.

Dark Night Rose looked at Lu Chuan incredulously and said, “How is this possible?

How can your strength be so great?

Weren’t you only just managing to handle a Grade 4 Saint a short time ago?

How are you now able to fight me to a standstill?”

Lu Chuan, somewhat curious, observed Dark Night Rose.

She apparently knew about his recent power level, which meant she had come prepared.

However, he hadn’t anticipated such a rapid improvement in his own strength.

Nevertheless, he racked his brain but couldn’t figure out just who Dark Night Rose was; he never remembered offending such a person.

He smiled at Dark Night Rose and said, “What, can’t I make a breakthrough?

And who told you that I can only fight you to a standstill?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned dark gold, launching a mental attack at Dark Night Rose.

Considering sheer martial strength, it would indeed be somewhat difficult for him to defeat a Grade 7 Saint, but he wasn’t just a Martial Artist; he had more methods than just martial strength at his disposal.

Once he used the Divine Skills of a Cultivator, Dark Night Rose was no match for him.

Dark Night Rose felt dazed in her mind, and by the time she regained her senses, she found that Lu Chuan was already upon her, striking fiercely with a palm.

Her face changed drastically as she hadn’t expected Lu Chuan to have such an attack method at his disposal; she hastily made a move to block it.

But as her spirit had been attacked, her reactions had slowed considerably, and coupled with the suddenness of Lu Chuan’s palm strike, she was still a bit too slow and failed to withstand the force of his palm, being sent flying away.

Lu Chuan pursued his victory, forming seals with both hands, no longer relying on mere brute strength but instead employing a spell.

Sea Covering Seal!

A massive seal appeared in mid-air, descending ferociously towards Dark Night Rose.

Dark Night Rose, looking at the seal in the air, felt her heart pound with fear.

The power of this technique had reached the level of a high-grade martial arts skill.

If she allowed the seal to suppress her, she would lose half her life, if not die outright.

With no other choice, she unleashed all her power to counter Lu Chuan’s strike.

But she was acutely aware that once her power was exhausted, she would become fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at Lu Chuan’s mercy.

The battle between the two ceased, and Dark Night Rose sat on the ground in weakness, her face showing utter fatigue.

Knowing that Dark Night Rose was at the end of her tether and no longer a threat, Lu Chuan still quickly moved forward and released a wave of power to seal her Dantian.

With a grave face, Dark Night Rose looked at Lu Chuan and said, “I really didn’t expect you to be so strong.

It seems we all underestimated your potential!”

Lu Chuan smiled and replied, “Thanks for the compliment.

Since you understand me so well, it seems you came especially for me.

Tell me, just who are you!”

Dark Night Rose turned her face away, clearly unwilling to speak, “I lost to you; it’s my incompetence.

Kill or flay me, it’s up to you.

As for my identity, you have no need to know!”

Seeing her this way, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, remarking, “I didn’t expect you to be so tsundere.”

He walked up to Dark Night Rose, grabbed her wrists, and pressed them firmly against the ground.

Dark Night Rose’s face showed panic, and she quickly shouted, “What are you doing, let go of me!”

She struggled fiercely but could not escape his grasp due to her sealed Dantian and depleted strength.

Lu Chuan leaned in close to Dark Night Rose, their faces only a few centimeters apart, close enough to feel each other’s breath.

His lips curved into a smile as he said, “Such a beautiful woman like you, and a hot-topic heroine on the internet, it would be such a pity to kill you.

If you refuse to reveal your true identity, then I’ll just have to deal with you right here, shame and torment you, turn you into my personal plaything.

I think for a proud woman like you, that would be the truly terrifying outcome.”

Hearing Lu Chuan’s words, Dark Night Rose became desperately anxious, grinding her teeth as she said, “You son of a bitch, if you dare touch me, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”

Lu Chuan, smiling, said, “You don’t have the strength to resist me now, so don’t bother with the tough talk.

If you really don’t want to reveal your identity, I’m going to start.”

Dark Night Rose’s face was a picture of conflict, her breathing quickened, and she couldn’t dare to look Lu Chuan in the eyes.

She kept on struggling, but aside from causing her body to twist about, it was ineffective.

Lu Chuan looked at her struggling form, and released two streams of power to pin her hands to the ground, then reached for the clothes at her chest.

“Looking at your figure, you seem quite well-endowed.

I wonder how the view will be once I strip this layer off.”

He gripped Dark Night Rose’s collar, where with just a bit more force, he could expose Dark Night Rose’s secrets to the air.

Just as he was about to exert the force, Dark Night Rose bit her teeth and shouted, “Stop!”

Lu Chuan stared at her, “Give me one reason.”

Taking a deep breath and struggling within herself for a long time, Dark Night Rose had to reveal her identity to preserve her honor, “I…

I’m your older cousin!

If you do this to me, get ready to be scorned by the world!”

Lu Chuan was immediately taken aback, “My older cousin???”

With her face blushing, Dark Night Rose admitted, “Yes!

Now let me go!”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Even if you can’t find a suitable excuse, there’s no need to claim kinship with me.

I certainly never knew I had a cousin like you.”

Dark Night Rose was somewhat annoyed and shouted, “My name is Lu Qingshuang, do you believe me now?”

“Lu Qingshuang…” Lu Chuan repeated the name, a spark of realization shooting through his mind, and he quickly caught on.

His eyes fixed on Lu Qingshuang, he asked, “Are you from the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family?”

Lu Qingshuang snorted coldly, “At least you have some brains.

Now let me go!

Keep straddling me, and I…

I won’t let you off the hook!”

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and said to Lu Qingshuang, “If you’re from the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family, then I have even more reason not to let you go!”
