Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 694 - 694 654 Greed_1

694: Chapter 654 Greed_1 694: Chapter 654 Greed_1 Liang Danian was frightened by Lu Chuan, retreating several steps backward.

Pointing at Lu Chuan with a trembling voice, he said, “You…

it’s you!”

“You’re the one with a bounty on his head from Lu Manor, you’re Lu Chuan!”

Lu Chuan gave a faint smile, “You have a good memory, recognizing me so quickly.”

“Lu Manor…

was truly destroyed by you?

I don’t believe it, you couldn’t possibly have annihilated Lu Manor all by yourself!”

“You’re just trying to scare me!”

He took a few deep breaths, trying his best to calm himself down.

A few days ago, Lu Manor was exterminated, almost stirring up the entire Dubhe City.

There was no one in Dubhe City who didn’t know about it, and naturally, Liang Danian had also heard of such a terrifying incident.

At that time, he was still guessing who could have done such an outrageous act.

Unexpectedly, today he saw the perpetrator.

Still, he was unwilling to believe that Lu Chuan before him had destroyed Lu Manor.

“You’re trying to scare me, right?

I, Liang Danian, have grown this old and have never been frightened by anyone!”

“I’m telling you right now, that bronze sword of yours is gone, lost!

If you want to find it, go dig through the trash can yourself.”

“Stop wasting your words on me and don’t disturb my business!”

He still spoke with an air of justified confidence.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan knew the guy wouldn’t shed tears until he saw the coffin.

Since it was so, there was no need for further words; it was better to just take action against this bastard.

“It seems you’re set on seeking death, so I’ll fulfill your wish!”

Then, Lu Chuan clenched his fist and walked towards Liang Danian.

Liang Danian, seeing this, also called out very sternly, “Guard Squad, where are you?

Assemble over here!”

“Come on, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

After finishing his words, he drew an exquisite longsword from his waist, pointing it directly at Lu Chuan, his aura formidable.

Lu Chuan chuckled coldly, “Still want to resist?

You’re not my match at all!”

What kind of fighting strength could the owner of a high-grade equipment shop possibly have?

Lu Chuan had destroyed a renowned martial arts family all by himself, so why would he fear a mere Liang Danian?

Lu Chuan, without saying another word, charged straight at Liang Danian.

Immediately, his clenched right fist ignited into flames.

The searing heat of the Divine Fire of the Sun instantly struck, startling Liang Danian and giving him a bad feeling.

“Damn it!

What kind of fire is this?”

He quickly retreated; the terrifying heat was extremely dangerous, and if he did not distance himself in time, he could be killed by a single punch.

“You haven’t even reached the Martial Emperor Realm, yet you have the audacity to spout such nonsense here!”

Lu Chuan charged straight for Liang Danian, his fierce momentum unstoppable.

Seeing this, Liang Danian instantly realized that if he didn’t escape right away, death would be waiting for him!

“Guard Squad, get in there and hold off this lunatic for me!”

Immediately, over a dozen fully armed guards stepped forward to cover Liang Danian’s retreat.

However, Lu Chuan immediately used the Supreme Phantom Dodge Skill, his figure flashing rapidly, quickly dazing the guards and instantly appearing behind Liang Danian.

“A bunch of useless idiots, can’t even stop someone!”

Liang Danian cursed angrily, then turned around and thrust his sword at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan dodged to the side and then, with a fierce punch, he struck Liang Danian’s abdomen.

Lu Chuan was extremely fast, so much so that Liang Danian couldn’t react in time, not even to prepare to retreat.

The punch hit Liang Danian squarely in the abdomen, sending him flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

A spurt of fresh blood sprayed from Liang Danian’s mouth with a pu-chi sound.

Lu Chuan slowly walked towards him.

The guards, seeing their Pavilion Master beaten so effortlessly, were too scared to move from their spots, not willing to step forward and become cannon fodder.

Lu Chuan approached Liang Danian, looking down at the Smithy Master Liang, who was in a sorry state.

“Speak!

Where is my bronze sword?”

Lying on the ground, Liang Danian’s features were twisted in pain, the intense pain in his abdomen almost unbearable.

He could barely open his mouth and weakly said, “Spare…

spare me, and I will tell you.”

He had been driven by greed to seize the bronze sword, but he deemed his life too high a price to pay for his avarice, especially from a merchant’s perspective.

Merchants are the group most prone to showing weakness; a little pressure, and they completely collapse.

“Speak, where is the bronze sword?

Only after I get my hands on the bronze sword will I consider whether or not to spare you.”

“The bronze sword is with Wan Ning.

Didn’t you meet that swordsmith yesterday?

It’s with him,” confessed Liang Danian.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then continued, “Why did you change your mind suddenly yesterday and go to the Zhan Residence with me to appraise the precious sword?

Did you already know what the bronze sword really looked like?”

“I…

I did indeed know, which is why I chased after you.”

Zhan Tianyu also came over.

Hearing Liang Danian’s words, he suddenly realized, “No wonder you changed your attitude abruptly.

It wasn’t baseless; you came prepared.”

“You knew the value of the bronze sword, so you became greedy and wanted to keep it for yourself, right?” Zhan Tianyu asked.

With no other options, Liang Danian nodded reluctantly, “Yes, as you said, I wanted to keep the sword for myself.”

“To incite such immense greed in you, the bronze sword must be extraordinary.

Tell me, what did you guys find out upon appraisal?”

Lu Chuan, looking down at Liang Danian, demanded the information.

Liang Danian sighed helplessly, weakened and in severe pain, lacking even the ability to flee, entirely at the mercy of Lu Chuan and his company.

If he were to lie or resist now, his fate would only be worse.

With resignation, he said, “The result is that this precious sword is a top-grade immortal weapon, rare in the Kunlun Domain—the Soul Terminating Sword!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan frowned slightly.

“Soul Terminating Sword?

I’ve never heard of it…”

“Unfortunately, the sword is sealed, and the seal cannot be broken for now.

Therefore, after we acquired the sword, it was quite frustrating.

Without breaking the seal, this precious sword is no different from scrap metal.”

Liang Danian felt powerless, having gone to great lengths to acquire a treasure he couldn’t use, much to his chagrin.

Lu Chuan smirked lightly—these fools naturally didn’t know that although the Soul Terminating Sword was sealed, it wasn’t entirely unusable.

It could still detect evil spirits and exterminate them.

Just that one feature already made it considerably valuable.

Curiosity stirred in Lu Chuan’s heart, wondering how formidable the Soul Terminating Sword’s true effect would be if its seal was fully released?

“Go retrieve the Soul Terminating Sword.

I’ll keep an eye on him here,”

Lu Chuan directed Zhan Tianyu.

Zhan Tianyu nodded slightly and then ran towards the Divine Weapons Smithy.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan, looking down at Liang Danian, said coldly, “Did you think I would spare you?

Daring to mess with my things is asking for death!”

Liang Danian went into a frenzy and yelled loudly, “Bastard!

I’ve cooperated with you fully, what right do you have to renege on your word now!”

“From the start, you should never have been greedy.

Now, it’s time to pay the price for it.”
