700: Chapter 660 City Focus_1 700: Chapter 660 City Focus_1 Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaosang, gave a faint smile, and said, “If I agree, then I agree.

If I were there, I would certainly have agreed too.”

“Could it be that Guu Lie wants to fight me, and I should just avoid the battle?”

“Since I’ve agreed, then let’s prepare for the battle.”

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan with some worry, “That Guu Lie, I’ve heard he’s quite strong.

Ordinary people are not his match, and there are very few in Dubhe City who can beat him.”

“And like you, he also has a strong control over fire.”

“Dubhe City once had many young people who, unaware of their limitations, thought that with their intermediate Martial King Realm strength, they dared to challenge Guu Lie and ended up severely burned.”

Lu Chuan turned to Gu Xiaorou, asking curiously, “How do you know all this?”

“I heard about it.

The Zhan family’s information network is quite extensive.

I just casually asked one of the Zhan family’s servants.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “It seems this guy is indeed a bit tricky, but I’ve killed opponents trickier than him before.”

“Moreover, he also manipulates fire, which is not his advantage but his weakness.”

Lu Chuan said confidently, “What time does the fight start tomorrow?”

Gu Xiaosang quickly said, “At three in the afternoon, right at the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“The City Lord will personally witness you two duel.”

“There might also be other people from Dubhe City.”

Lu Chuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, “If I go there for the duel, I will inevitably have to take off my mask, and the people of Dubhe City will know that I, Lu Chuan, killed the people from Sky Martial Sect and even fought with Guu Lie.”

“Afterwards, hiding in the Zhan family will no longer be an option.”

“If reinforcements from the Lu family come, I’ll just have to face the battle head-on.”

Lu Chuan stood up and walked toward the room.

“Guu Lie…

your fate will be the same as that of your sect’s Third Elder.

Anyone who dares to obstruct my path is courting death!”

…

The next morning, as soon as the people across the city got out of bed, they flooded the streets and crammed into various breakfast shops.

The most talked-about topic among them was the duel with Guu Lie taking place today.

Almost everyone in the city knew about the news, and many were eagerly anticipating witnessing it with their own eyes.

After all, there was much to learn from a battle between powerhouses.

Quite a few officials and nobles had already asked the City Lord for a favor, so when the time came, they could go to the City Lord’s Mansion and enjoy a vigorous and exciting battle.

Of course, their focus had always been on Guu Lie.

They only wanted to see Guu Lie in action as many of them had never personally witnessed his fighting style and had only heard of it.

Now that the opportunity was before them, naturally, they wouldn’t miss it.

As for Guu Lie’s opponent, they naturally didn’t care much.

How could a completely unknown character become the center of attention?

However, they were also aware that Guu Lie’s opponent wouldn’t be simple, after all, he was the one who killed Huang Yueqing, and was also a top fighter.

Even before noon, quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, many of them looking forward to Guu Lie’s arrival with great anticipation.

At two in the afternoon, Guu Lie’s figure finally appeared leisurely from down the street.

Zhao Shengyang was leading the way in front; having rested for a night, he looked much better.

“Master, please come this way.”

Guu Lie walked slowly, his face showing no ripples, not a trace of unease, seeming completely confident about the duel.

Soon, they arrived at the city gate.

The crowd that had gathered around all focused their attention on Guu Lie.

Guu Lie became the center of attention much like a star.

“Has that bastard arrived yet?”

Gu Lie looked towards Zhao Shengyang to ask.

Zhao Shengyang looked at the crowd and shouted, “Has anyone seen the opponent who’s come to participate in the duel?”

“No…”

“They probably haven’t arrived yet.”

“Could they have decided not to come?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, they agreed to it.

If they don’t show up, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to the City Lord?”

“It’s hard to say, after all, the guy is facing Guu Lie of the Sky Martial Sect.

It wouldn’t be incomprehensible if he chickened out at the last minute.”

“Ah, I was really looking forward to watching this grand duel.

Don’t let me down.”

“Just wait a bit longer, it’s almost three o’clock.

If that guy doesn’t show up by then, I think we can all go home.”

…

After a long wait, Lu Chuan’s figure finally sauntered out.

Gu Xiaosang led the way, sprinting to the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.

When she saw that Guu Lie had already been waiting there for some time, she smiled smugly.

“Yo, I didn’t expect you’d actually have the guts to come for a one-on-one challenge.”

Hearing this, Zhao Shengyang clenched his fists in anger, “What did you say?

The ones lacking courage should be you guys!”

Gu Xiaosang continued, “Don’t be in a rush to make a scene.

You’ll have plenty of time to cry when the fight starts.”

“Bullshit, my master is invincible under the heavens, and we fear no trash like you!”

Zhao Shengyang shouted furiously.

With a sigh of resignation, Guu Lie said, “Disciple, don’t bother arguing with him, it’s a waste of energy.”

Zhao Shengyang took a deep breath and returned to Guu Lie’s side.

Shortly afterward, Lu Chuan walked over slowly, this time without his veil.

Today he would let everyone in Dubhe City know who destroyed the Lu family and who killed Huang Yueqing.

And also, who was about to kill Guu Lie!

As Lu Chuan approached, bystanders who saw his face could not help but express surprise, staring at him in disbelief.

Indeed, as soon as Lu Chuan made his appearance, he was recognized by everyone present.

After all, the bounty posted by the Lu family was still fresh in their minds; how could they forget so quickly?

When Guu Lie saw Lu Chuan approaching, his eyebrows knit tightly, and his heart sank.

It was just as he suspected—the murderer was Lu Chuan!

“Lu Chuan!

It’s you…

it was you all along!”

“You possess the Divine Tree branch, you killed Elder Huang, you deserve a thousand deaths!

If you had died earlier, our Sky Martial Sect would have already joined the ranks of the first-rate sects in the Kunlun Domain!”

“Today, I shall be the one to execute you!

You scoundrel!”

He roared furiously, his anger reaching its peak.

The crowd immediately became excited.

They had originally thought this would be a one-sided crush, and just watching Guu Lie in combat would have been a treat.

But to their surprise, Guu Lie’s opponent turned out to be Lu Chuan himself!

This man, with a hefty bounty on his head from the Lu family, had also killed the Third Elder of the Sky Martial Sect; he was undoubtedly a formidable opponent!

For a moment, the spectators turned their eyes to the two men, their hearts surging with excitement.

Lu Chuan looked at Guu Lie with a serene smile, “Today, I’ll send you to join the Third Elder and keep him company in the next life.”

“You insolent fool, how dare you speak to me like that!

I will not spare you!”

“Today, I shall use your blood as a tribute to my junior brother!”

“Get inside the City Lord’s Mansion, and watch how I deal with you!”

With a cold snort and a flick of his sleeve, he walked towards the interior of the City Lord’s Mansion.
