Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 621 - 621 581 Lu Family Assassin_1

621: Chapter 581 Lu Family Assassin_1 621: Chapter 581 Lu Family Assassin_1 Lu Ming’s left hand was burned to ashes by the flames.

After falling to the ground, Lu Ming held his own left arm tight, the entire left hand along with half of his forearm had turned to ash, and he lay on the ground clenching his teeth.

At that moment, he had no time to scream in agony or to get angry; he had to turn and flee without hesitation if he was to have any chance of saving his own life.

Otherwise, he feared he would die right there!

With the loss of a hand, his combat power had significantly diminished, and if he lingered there any longer, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He quickly got up and dashed towards the nearby bamboo grove.

He activated his Supreme Phantom Dodge martial arts skill once more, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, charging into the bamboo grove.

In almost a split second, he had vanished from the spot, escaping from there.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan only sneered in disdain and did not intend to pursue him.

Although this guy’s direct combat abilities were mediocre, his speed was still astonishingly fast.

If he chased after him, who knew if the other would have other traps prepared in advance.

So, it was fine to let him escape for the time being.

After all, that guy had lost a hand, which likely meant he would have no plans for the short term.

However, Lu Chuan still needed to be cautious and vigilant; as an assassin and killer, he couldn’t rely solely on using daggers and brute strength in combat.

These types of people always have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves, and as long as they are not dead, one always needs to be extra careful.

Lu Chuan dusted off his clothes and prepared to continue searching for the Spirit Communication Bamboo.

Having driven off Lu Ming, Lu Chuan continued to search through the bamboo grove.

He felt that Lu Ming wouldn’t leave directly but rather continue to stay within Flower City.

From the brief encounter they just had, Lu Chuan could tell that this guy was proud and arrogant, not the type to accept defeat easily.

So, after this setback, he would certainly regroup and wait for the next opportunity.

Lu Chuan wasn’t too concerned; as long as he stayed on guard, he wasn’t afraid of this guy at all.

In the dark bamboo grove, after a while of searching, Hua Qianwu and Gu Xiaorou Gu Xiaosang arrived.

“Lu Chuan, I just heard sounds of a fight here.

Nothing went wrong, did it?”

Gu Xiaorou hurried over, getting close to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan turned and quickly said, “Nothing went wrong, I just encountered an assassin who wanted to make a move on me.”

Gu Xiaorou immediately widened her eyes, “Who has the guts to do something like that here?

Where is that person?

Are you injured?”

Gu Xiaorou looked over Lu Chuan with a worried face.

“Of course, I’m not injured.

However, I disabled one of that guy’s hands, and he has fled.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “That’s good.

With a hand gone, he likely won’t dare to come back any time soon.”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “I think that this guy will wait for an opportunity to make a move on me again.”

Hua Qianwu and Gu Xiaorou both curiously looked at Lu Chuan, “Why?”

“Because he is from the Lu family, his name is Lu Ming, and he holds a very high status in the assassin realm.

He cannot tolerate his own failure.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaorou turned to look at Hua Qianwu and asked, “Isn’t this Lu Ming the same one you mentioned during the day?”

Hua Qianwu’s expression turned serious as she nodded slowly and said, “Yes, definitely him.

I didn’t expect it, but he has actually returned to Flower City, and this time, his target was you.”

“So, this is the so-called number one assassin?

He doesn’t seem that strong.”

Lu Chuan said dismissively.

Hua Qianwu’s expression grew grave as she spoke slowly, “Maybe to you his strength seems ordinary, but to Flower City, he is a nightmare we don’t wish to relive.”

“His speed is incredibly fast, and he kills unseen.

Many do not even get to witness his appearance before they die by his blade.”

“Back then, in Flower City, he would kill anyone he wanted to kill.”

“Who would have thought that, here with you, he’d become so fragile.”

Hua Qianwu was surprised as she looked at Lu Chuan; she couldn’t even see any wounds on him.

He had nearly defeated Lu Ming without a scratch and had even disabled one of his hands.

The disparity in strength was truly significant.

“Forget about him.

Even if he came back a hundred times, he wouldn’t be my match.

Let’s continue searching for the Spirit Communication Bamboo,” Lu Chuan said before preparing to turn around and resume the search.

Just as he turned, he saw Gu Xiaosang carefully examining a slender piece of bamboo.

She was so attentive and meticulous in her observation that when others called her name from beside her, she would be startled and took a moment to come back to her senses.

“Xiaosang, have you found something?” Gu Xiaorou approached her.

Gu Xiaosang turned to look at Gu Xiaorou and said, “Sister, this looks like the Spirit Communication Bamboo, doesn’t it?

It’s got a very unique appearance.”

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried over, and after a close examination, they indeed noticed a faint blue luminescence throughout the bamboo.

Most importantly, as they got closer to the bamboo, they could feel a faint Spiritual Energy emanating from it.

“Clearly, this is the Spirit Communication Bamboo.”

Hua Qianwu looked at the three of them and said with a smile, “My friends, it seems we are quite fortunate today; we’ve managed to find both materials.

Now, let’s head back.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, and then the four of them started on their way back home.

Traveling at night was not easy.

Once on the horse-drawn carriage, the weak light provided by the oil lamps hanging on it was the only illumination they had.

When they passed by an inn, Hua Qianwu was shocked to see the scene at the entrance.

Bodies were strewn everywhere, and Flower City had sent a few officials to investigate and handle the situation.

“This is definitely Lu Ming’s doing.

That bastard really has a taste for killing.

He has no humanity at all!” Hua Qianwu said bitterly.

The carriage continued on its way, and by the time they arrived in Flower City, it was almost midnight.

Meanwhile, in the bamboo forest.

Lu Ming was fleeing in a sorry state, heading to where Zhao Changjun was.

Zhao Changjun found a rock to sit on, waiting for Lu Ming’s return.

He remembered Lu Ming’s words when he left, telling him to wait here.

Gradually, Lu Ming’s figure emerged from the darkness and walked toward Zhao Changjun.

Seeing this, Zhao Changjun quickly stood up and walked towards Lu Ming.

“Senior, how did it go?

Were you successful?”

Having waited anxiously for a long time, he couldn’t wait to know the answer.

But soon, Zhao Changjun saw Lu Ming’s left hand, and upon seeing the burnt stump of the left hand, his eyes widened in shock.

“Senior, your left hand?”

“That bastard disabled my left hand.

I won’t forgive him!

I will use his life to pay for my lost arm!” Lu Ming said fiercely, his voice filled with malice and his body radiating a killing intent that made Zhao Changjun feel a bit scared.

“Who…

who did this?

Hua Qianwu shouldn’t be able to defeat you, right?” He asked, puzzled.

Lu Ming looked at Zhao Changjun, bewildered and asked, “What are you rambling about?

Hua Qianwu?”

“Didn’t you say that your assassination target today was Hua Qianwu?”

“When did I say that?

My target was Lu Chuan!”
