605: Chapter 565: The Decisive Battle – Part 1 605: Chapter 565: The Decisive Battle – Part 1 Lu Chuan, sword in hand, walked toward Xu Chong’s direction.

At that moment, Xu Chong stood on the stage, picking up the Green Jade Dragon Sword.

He gently caressed the blade, murmuring in a low voice, “Such an exquisite precious sword, these wonderful patterns, the hard cold steel, is truly a rare treasure.”

“For such a treasure to be defiled by a yokel like you, it’s truly heartbreaking.”

“The items auctioned by the Xu Auction House are all true treasures, not something you can insult with a broken sword.”

He swung out his longsword, pointing at Lu Chuan, “Now, come up here, and let me teach you a lesson, to show you what a real precious sword is!”

“Blind fool.”

Having said that, he snorted disdainfully, his eyes full of scorn.

The rest of the Xu family members, seeing this, also did not intervene.

After all, Xu Chong was defending their Xu family’s interests, and they would certainly not stop him.

Lu Chuan advanced toward Xu Chong, going up onto the stage, instantly attracting the attention of the entire audience.

Then, Lu Chuan raised his longsword, speaking earnestly, “Since you have spoken rudely, let me teach you a proper lesson today.”

“Heh, who’s teaching whom, you’ve got it backwards, don’t you?”

His right hand gripping the hilt tightly, he slowly approached Lu Chuan, “Now, I will make you pay the price, to let you know that not everyone can slander the treasures of our Xu family!”

“Take my sword!”

In the next instant, he suddenly lunged forward, taking three swift steps to close the distance, and swung his sword at Lu Chuan.

At that moment, the entire venue held its breath, watching the confrontation earnestly.

The Xu family members all revealed relieved smiles.

Seeing Xu Chong defend the Xu family so vigorously, they felt gratified.

Xu Lingyun, on the other hand, watched Lu Chuan’s figure intently.

She had crossed swords with Lu Chuan before and knew that Lu Chuan was formidable.

The bronze sword he held was also likely to be no ordinary item.

Meanwhile, Hua Qianwu was somewhat worried for Lu Chuan and even prepared to intervene at any moment, to prevent the confrontation from escalating further.

Just then, Lu Chuan countered with his bronze sword.

CLANG!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal striking metal, the blades of the two swords collided, sparking brilliantly.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the audience, Xu Chong’s Green Jade Dragon Sword snapped in two, its blade breaking apart and falling to the stage with a dull thud.

The sharp sound echoed throughout the auction house, and silence fell over the crowd instantaneously, their faces a mix of shock as they stared at Lu Chuan.

At that moment, Xu Chong stood frozen, staring at the broken sword in his hand, unable to come to his senses for a long while.

The Xu family members in the VIP seats were also bewildered, unsure of what to do.

Xu Chong looked down at the other half of the blade at his feet and took two steps back in fright.

He looked up again, eyed the bronze sword in Lu Chuan’s hand, and hastily demanded, “What on earth is that sword in your hand!”

“How can an old bronze sword break my Green Jade Dragon Sword!

Impossible!”

“You must have used some trickery!”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “With the clash of swords, your precious sword broke apart, the result is clear.

Your so-called treasure doesn’t compare to my sword in the slightest.”

“Even if it is a bronze sword, your precious sword is inferior to it, isn’t that even more trash?”

At these words, the crowd began to buzz with discussion.

They even started to suspect that the Xu family was selling forgeries.

“Otherwise, why would such an exquisite precious sword be considered inferior to a broken blade?”

Seeing the crowd’s discussions and even their doubts about the Xu family forging counterfeits, it was absolutely a major blow to the reputation of Xu Auction House.

And as the operator of the auction, what they feared most was damage to their reputation.

Once tarnished, how could they continue to do business in Flower City?

“You!

You bastard, you owe me a precious sword!”

“5000 taels of gold, not one less.

You broke it, so you must pay!”

“Moreover, our Xu family never sells fakes.

We sell only authentic items.

It’s you, the bastard, who used a trick to ruin my precious sword!”

“I won’t accept this.

Such a scoundrel must be punished!”

At this time, Xu Shenghua saw Xu Chong acting so furiously and shook his head in disappointment.

Didn’t this posture only add fuel to the fire?

Xu Chong pointed at Lu Chuan and rebuked, “Hey, are you listening?”

Lu Chuan’s eyes coldly fixed on him as he said, “You’re the one who’s blind.

You couldn’t recognize that the bronze sword in my hand is a genuine precious sword.

You made the wrong judgment and still have the face to blame me?”

“You dare to be so insolent, then let me teach you a lesson.”

Having said that, Lu Chuan walked towards him.

Seeing this, Xu Chong immediately became enraged.

“What?

You want to lay hands on me?

Don’t forget, this is the Xu family’s territory.

Are you seeking death?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Chuan quickly lunged forward, stretching out his right hand to grab Xu Chong’s throat and easily lifted him!

Xu Chong, who was lifted by his neck, felt a wave of suffocation and immediately rolled his eyes, coughing incessantly.

Upon witnessing this, everyone from the Xu family in the VIP seats stood up, pointing at Lu Chuan and scolding him.

“What are you trying to do?

Dare to touch Young Master Xu, and you won’t have enough lives to pay for it!”

“Let go right now, you’re courting death!”

“This is Xu family’s ground; we won’t tolerate your recklessness.

Do you not take our Xu family seriously?”

However, Lu Chuan did not stop, still gripping Xu Chong’s throat tightly.

The intense suffocation made Xu Chong feel a wave of despair, and the fear of death enveloped him like a tide.

Xu Shenghua immediately panicked and drew his longsword from his waist, ready to attack Lu Chuan.

“You bastard, let go of my son!”

He roared, flipping over the table and charging towards the stage.

Just then, Hua Qianwu quickly stood up and reprimanded, “Family Head Xu, please stop!”

Hearing this, Xu Shenghua immediately froze in place, turned his head, and saw Hua Qianwu’s figure, his eyes widening in shock.

“Miss Hua, are you pleading for this man?

He’s too arrogant, so much so that he dares to attack my son on my turf.

You shouldn’t speak for him!”

Hua Qianwu, with an expressionless face, said indifferently, “It was Xu Chong who first spoke rudely, and he was the first to strike.

Lu Chuan was only defending himself and teaching him a lesson; what’s wrong with that?”

“Should Xu Chong be allowed to act arrogantly and forbid Lu Chuan from disciplining him?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shenghua’s spirit deflated, and he sat back down helplessly, his eyes fixed on Xu Chong, fearing any harm might come to him.

Lu Chuan suddenly kicked Xu Chong in the abdomen, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Xu Chong, who had just hit the ground, immediately sprayed blood from his mouth, his body barely hanging on to life.

This scene shocked everyone in the audience, fearing that Xu Chong might just die on the spot.
