701: Chapter 661 Duel Begins_1 701: Chapter 661 Duel Begins_1 Guu Lie couldn’t wait to walk into the City Lord’s Mansion.

He only wanted to quickly avenge his junior brother, Huang Yueqing, and it wasn’t just for Huang Yueqing’s sake, but also to preserve the face of the Sky Martial Sect.

If the sect’s Third Elder is killed and they do nothing, then people will say that the members of the Sky Martial Sect are all cowards.

Guu Lie entered the City Lord’s Mansion and was surprised to see that a dueling arena had already been set up in the courtyard.

His fight with Lu Chuan could start at any time.

Even the spectators nearby had all arrived.

The person most looking forward to this duel, of course, was Zhu Qingcheng.

He was eager to see the extent of Lu Chuan’s real strength.

He had wanted to recruit Lu Chuan, but made one wrong move and let the Zhan family take advantage of the situation.

However, after the bounty was issued, he felt a bit better.

In his eyes, Lu Chuan was both a talented individual and a potential threat.

If he offended the Lu family trying to get on good terms with Lu Chuan, it would be a loss-making affair.

Zhu Qingcheng had to give many benefits to City Lord Yang Jie to get the chance to watch this fight.

As Guu Lie walked into the courtyard and saw the assembled spectators, he felt somewhat displeased but did not say much.

City Lord Yang Jie made a good profit from this opportunity and collected many favors, effectively allowing him to amass wealth in the process.

As soon as Guu Lie stepped in, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

Right after, Lu Chuan’s figure slowly walked in.

Zhu Qingcheng, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but sigh, “This Lu Chuan, to think he even killed the Sky Martial Sect’s Third Elder, he truly fears neither heaven nor earth.”

“But it’s strange.

When did he offend the Sky Martial Sect?

Isn’t this his first time in Dubhe City?”

Zhu Qingcheng felt curious and puzzled.

Someone beside him continued the conversation, “I’m guessing, there must be some secret hidden in this Lu Chuan, which is why both the Lu family and the Sky Martial Sect are after him.”

“Perhaps, he was forced into killing in self-defense.”

“If that’s the case, then this Guu Lie isn’t exactly moral, is he?

He sends someone to trouble someone else and ends up getting killed in return, and still acts so indignant.”

“Indeed, provoking someone first and then being killed in return is quite laughable.”

“Hey, keep your voice down, don’t let Elder Guu hear you, be careful not to cause trouble.”

Guu Lie completely ignored the murmuring voices of the crowd.

He now had only one goal, and that was to avenge Huang Yueqing by killing Lu Chuan!

As for how Huang Yueqing died, he no longer cared.

Even if they were the ones who provoked the other party first, as long as an elder of the Sky Martial Sect died, then the sect was bound to seek revenge.

Guu Lie stepped onto the arena and turned to look at Lu Chuan, saying, “Get up here, this will be your execution ground.”

Lu Chuan gazed at Guu Lie and walked leisurely onto the dueling arena.

“Elder Guu, you all covet something I possess and even tried to kill me just to get it.

Am I not allowed to defend myself?”

Upon hearing this, Guu Lie huffed coldly, “Don’t waste so many words with me.

I only know that you killed Huang Yueqing, our Sky Martial Sect’s Third Elder, and for that, you must pay the price!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I understand now, so one Third Elder isn’t enough for you; you, the Second Elder, also want to come here to die.

Since that’s the case, then I shall accommodate you.”

“Such arrogance, you petty villain, daring to speak to me like this, let me see how I’ll deal with you later!”

Immediately, he drew a longsword from behind him, gripping it tightly in his hand.

On the blade, one could faintly see patterns of flames, and the handle was dark red, as if stained with blood.

“This old man’s Flaming Blood Saber hasn’t been unsheathed for quite some time, but today, I will use your fresh blood to consecrate my blade!”

Lu Chuan drew the Soul Terminating Sword from behind him.

Although the Soul Terminating Sword was still in a sealed state, it was, after all, a genuine Immortal Artifact.

If he really had to fight Guu Lie, merely in terms of the weapon, he was definitely not at a disadvantage.

City Lord Yang Jie stepped forward, looking at the two men and said in a deep voice, “Are both of you ready?

Today, under the witness of everyone present here, you will engage in a life-and-death battle.”

“No matter life or death, it will have nothing to do with me or anyone else present.”

“If you are ready, you can start at any time.”

Yang Jie stepped down, leaving the dueling arena to the two contestants.

Guu Lie gripped the hilt of his saber tightly and slowly advanced towards Lu Chuan.

“Dare to kill an elder of the Sky Martial Sect, today, I will make you pay!”

The next moment, he suddenly charged at Lu Chuan.

He didn’t release any martial arts skills or footwork.

Charging directly was merely to test Lu Chuan’s strength.

Having killed Huang Yueqing and withstanding the Lu family’s bounty, it was enough proof that the man before him was certainly no small fry.

Although Guu Lie was arrogant in his words, when it came to a serious fight, he still proceeded with caution.

“You think you can defeat me with that broken sword?

You underestimate me far too much!”

Guu Lie’s gaze rested on the bronze sword in Lu Chuan’s hand, which immediately infuriated him.

He had brought out his finest weapon for combat, and his opponent was countering with such a trashy weapon, which made Guu Lie feel humiliated.

The surrounding audience also focused their attention on the bronze sword in Lu Chuan’s hand.

“He’s actually using a longsword made of bronze material, isn’t that a bit too shabby?”

“Indeed, I’m almost tempted to sponsor him a better sword.

How can he fight Guu Lie with that kind of weapon?”

“Looking at it now, he’s already one level behind just on the weapon front.”

“I’m estimating that in the first clash, Lu Chuan’s longsword is probably going to break on the spot.”

…

In the crowd, Gu Xiaorou, Gu Xiaosang, Zhan Tianyu, Zhan Tianheng, and others had all arrived.

Among the four, only Zhan Tianheng was worried for Lu Chuan.

Having dealt with people from various families in Dubhe City for years, he was naturally aware of Guu Lie’s strength.

In his opinion, Guu Lie was counted among the top-tier martial masters of Dubhe City and could be considered one of the strongest in the city.

He had a deep understanding of Guu Lie, but he had not seen Lu Chuan fight before, which was why he was anxious for him.

Whereas Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, who trusted Lu Chuan the most, sat watching the dueling arena with hardly any pressure.

“I heard that Guu Lie also has control over flames; I wonder how strong he really is.”

Gu Xiaosang said.

“If it’s about controlling flames, then I’m afraid no one can compare with Lu Chuan.

After all, he has two Divine Fires inside his body; at least in Dubhe City, nobody could be his match.”

Gu Xiaorou watched Lu Chuan with confidence.

Just then, Guu Lie’s saber swung down with rapid, ferocious momentum, forcing Lu Chuan to quickly retaliate.

He placed the Soul Terminating Sword in front of him, blocking Guu Lie’s blow with sheer force.

Clang!!!

The crowd turned their attention and were surprised to find that Lu Chuan’s bronze sword was intact, effortlessly parrying Guu Lie’s fierce strike.
