Chapter 660 - 660 620 The Might of Divine Fire_1

660: Chapter 620: The Might of Divine Fire_1 660: Chapter 620: The Might of Divine Fire_1 From the moment flames covered Lu Chuan’s upper body, Bai Hao was scared out of his wits.

When he first saw Lu Chuan on fire, he thought Lu Chuan had gone mad to actually set himself ablaze!

However, when he saw Lu Chuan at the center of the flames, completely unharmed, he was instantly petrified.

This was his first encounter with such a sight, he had dealt with many tough enemies, some with strange abilities of all kinds.

Much weirder than his use of silk wire as a weapon.

Yet, he had never seen anyone who could bathe in flames without suffering the slightest injury.

It was beyond his comprehension.

He watched as his carefully laid silk wires broke one after another, his anxiety burning like a raging fire.

His nearly foolproof assassination plan had been undone so effortlessly by his target!

Bai Hao clenched his teeth and roared, “What right do you have to dismantle my traps so casually!”

As he roared, he burst out of the bushes, swinging his right hand toward Lu Chuan.

As he swung his right hand, you could see five silk wires coiled around his fingers.

The silk wire whipped over like a lash, and if one wasn’t wearing iron armor, a hit by it could slice a body to pieces.

Lu Chuan continued to advance with an unchanged expression, unfazed by the attack.

Seeing this, Bai Hao’s frustration turned to rage.

But the next moment, before the silk wire could even get close to Lu Chuan, it melted instantly, unable to touch his body at all.

Watching this, Bai Hao, who had jumped out, was thrown into complete panic.

Dressed in a grey-yellow hemp robe, he merged perfectly with the wildscape.

Wearing a black veil, his features were unclear, but from the look in his eyes, you could tell he was somewhat alarmed.

He hurriedly turned and fled, his sprinting speed astonishing.

After several bursts through the grass, he had opened up a distance.

Drenched in cold sweat from the shock, he dashed away before suddenly looking back and, seeing Lu Chuan not pursuing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During his escape, his heart was in his throat, terrified of being caught by Lu Chuan.

The blinding flames, in his eyes, were deeply frightening.

At this time, Lu Chuan stood in place, as the Divine Fire of the Sun slowly retracted into his body.

Immediately after, Zhan Tianyu and the others quickly caught up.

“Lu Chuan, that guy actually escaped, shouldn’t we chase him?”

Zhan Tianyu came over in a hurry.

Lu Chuan shook his head indifferently, “No need, let him escape.”

“He’s very fast, if I chased him directly, I could probably catch him, but that would leave you all behind.”

“And if that guy has any accomplices, it could get complicated.”

Having said that, Lu Chuan turned his gaze to Gu Xiaorou, expressing his primary concern for her safety.

Zhan Tianyu nodded slightly, “That guy must never have dreamed his traps would be broken so quickly.”

“In the past, when he faced a strong enemy, his traps would be dismantled too, but before half were undone, the bastard wielding the hidden weapons would have been killed.”

“Luckily, the flames on your body eradicated those traps in an instant.”

Zhan Tianyu sighed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a catastrophe; he almost thought he’d die alongside Lu Chuan.

It was clear now that Lu Chuan was no ordinary man, with even Bai Hao at a loss to deal with him.

Those flames engulfing his body didn’t seem like something any ordinary person could possess.

At this moment, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang approached.

“Lu Chuan, how are we going to get to Dubhe City now, with the carriage destroyed?”

Gu Xiaorou walked up to Lu Chuan and asked.

“Let’s wait a bit and see if we can hitch a ride with someone passing by.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded helplessly.

They were still a long way from Dubhe City, and if they had to walk, they feared they wouldn’t reach their destination even by tomorrow.

So, after walking a distance, they stood by the roadside and began to wait.

Li Jiang looked at Lu Chuan and sighed, “If you hadn’t broken the trap just now, we might all have died there.”

“Wasn’t the target me?

What does that have to do with you?”

Li Jiang smiled and said, “This fellow kills without batting an eye, killing one or two more means nothing to him.”

“And what about Zhan Tianyu?

He is a core member of the Zhan family.”

Li Jiang glanced at Zhan Tianyu, “Master, don’t blame me for speaking frankly, but if we hadn’t broken the trap just now, we really would have all died at his hands.”

Zhan Tianyu’s brows were tightly furrowed, and he nodded slightly, “Indeed, that’s very likely.”

“That guy is naturally cruel, almost devoid of humanity, and has killed at least a thousand people with his own hands.”

“Otherwise, he couldn’t have taken the top spot on the assassin leaderboard in Dubhe City.”

Lu Chuan suddenly seemed thoughtful, paused, and then said, “Since they are all assassins, this fellow might have something to do with Lu Ming.”

“Maybe he knows that I’ve killed Lu Ming, and that’s why he came after me.”

Hearing this, Zhan Tianyu also nodded slightly, “That’s possible, at any rate, we still can’t figure out his motives right now.”

At that moment, a carriage slowly approached from a distance.

The carriage was simple and unadorned, with just one skinny brown horse at the head, moving slowly along.

Zhan Tianyu stood directly in the middle of the road, stopping the carriage.

The coachman looked at Zhan Tianyu and asked, “Sir, do you need something to have stopped us?”

The coachman, with a face full of flattering smiles, could tell that Zhan Tianyu was dressed in no ordinary manner, clearly a man of wealth or nobility, hence he dared not offend him.

“Take us to Dubhe City.

I’ll pay you.”

The coachman counted the number of people in front of him, a total of seven, and immediately frowned, looking troubled as he said, “This…

there are quite a few people, aren’t there?

I’m not sure if there’s enough room.”

“We’re in a rush to get on the road, let’s just squeeze in for now.

When we arrive, you’ll be properly compensated for the journey!”

Without waiting for the coachman to respond, Zhan Tianyu turned back to the others and said, “Let’s go, everyone, get on the carriage.

No point in standing here waiting.”

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, “Get on the carriage, continuing to wait is just wasting time.”

Then, one after another, they all boarded the carriage.

In the carriage, there was only one passenger, a young girl in simple clothes, who became visibly timid when she saw Lu Chuan and the others squeeze on and turned her head to the corner.

After boarding the carriage, Zhan Tianyu shouted to the coachman, “Drive on, and when we get there, I’ll reward you with ten taels of gold!”

Hearing that, the coachman was as energized as if he had been injected with chicken blood and promptly yelled, “All right, boss!

We’re setting off now!”

The carriage moved slowly forward, not fast, but its advantage was its stability.

Gu Xiaosang noticed the girl in the corner and quickly smiled at her.

The girl seemed even more frightened upon seeing this.

Gu Xiaosang looked dejected, “Do I look that scary?”

“No, it’s just that there are too many bad people in this world, and I’m scared…”

“Scared of what?

We’re not bad people!”
