Chapter 708 - 708 668 Head-On Confrontation_1

708: Chapter 668: Head-On Confrontation_1 708: Chapter 668: Head-On Confrontation_1 Bai Hao’s voice came from all around, audible but nowhere to be seen, making it impossible to discern his location by sound.

Lu Chuan stood up and looked at the empty courtyard, saying indifferently, “As an assassin, you sure make a big scene when making your move.”

“You call yourself a qualified assassin?”

“Do I need pointers from an amateur like you?

I’ve made the necessary preparations to kill you, which is why I am so confident.”

Lu Chuan just smiled faintly and then continued, “How did you know that I killed Huang Yueqing?”

Bai Hao had been aware of Huang Yueqing’s death since Lu Chuan left Flower City, which was indeed curious.

“In fact, I knew you killed Huang Yueqing before you even arrived in Dubhe City!”

“So, I set a trap halfway to kill you directly!”

“You might be confused about how I knew, so let me explain.”

“When you killed Huang Yueqing, you also killed Lu Ming.”

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows lifted slightly as he asked, “You knew Lu Ming?”

“Nonsense, we’re both assassins; it would be strange if we didn’t know each other.”

“I knew he was coming to Flower City, so I specifically came to visit him.”

“We caught up on old times, and from him, I learned about his target for this mission and that he was going to join forces with Huang Yueqing.”

“He promised to meet me at the tavern after the deed was done, but I never got to see him.”

“That’s when I knew it was you who killed Lu Ming and Huang Yueqing!”

Bai Hao sneered, “This Lu Ming, an assassin from the Lu family, actually met his end in Flower City; what a waste.

In the end, it seems I have to take matters into my own hands.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see, so if you knew all along, why didn’t you tell the Sky Martial Sect?”

“Do I have to answer everything you ask?

You’d better think about how you’re going to get out of this courtyard!”

Lu Chuan let out a cold laugh, “It seems you’ve had a falling out with the Sky Martial Sect.”

“The traps you set up are futile against me.”

“Such arrogance.

Last time was in an open area, and my traps couldn’t display their full effect.

Now, I will show you my true power!”

Just then, suddenly a figure appeared on top of the surrounding wall.

The next moment, he swung his hand fiercely, and five slender silk wires shot out from his fingers towards Lu Chuan.

Whoosh!!

The silk wire emitted a sharp breaking sound, indicating that the attack was extremely ferocious just from the sound.

Lu Chuan quickly sidestepped to avoid Bai Hao’s attack.

Boom!!

The silk wire struck the stone table beside Lu Chuan, exploding on impact and shattering the table.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan turned and grew more cautious, aware that his opponent was indeed strong.

The key was that his opponent’s moves were too fierce, each one impressively powerful.

If that attack had hit him, even with his exceptional physical quality, he would have sustained considerable damage.

Lu Chuan looked up at the wall and saw that Bai Hao’s figure had vanished.

The next instant, a silk wire as thin as a hair shot towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan’s sensory perception was pushed to its limit, just barely sensing the incoming fine thread.

He quickly sidestepped the shooting silk wire.

Immediately afterward, without hesitation, Lu Chuan activated the Divine Fire of the Sun within his body.

Boom!!

Flames enveloped his body, the bright and intense Divine Fire of the Sun burned furiously on Lu Chuan.

Shoulders, chest, waist, abdomen, knees, all were covered with the Divine Fire of the Sun.

The extreme heat caused the silk wires to melt instantly before they could get close to Lu Chuan.

“Let me see what other skills you have!”

Lu Chuan’s gaze swept around, and whenever he spotted Bai Hao’s figure, he didn’t hesitate to use the Supreme Phantom Dodge to rush up and engage in close-quarters combat.

At that moment, Bai Hao’s figure leapt onto the top of the wall again, this time looking down at Lu Chuan with a cold and sinister smile.

“You are surrounded!

Wait for your death!”

Lu Chuan stretched out his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined, and pointed towards Bai Hao.

Instantly, the Divine Fire of the Sun shot from his fingertips towards Bai Hao.

Whoosh!!

Bai Hao, seeing this, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, his feet forcefully propelled himself, quickly fleeing the scene.

After barely dodging Lu Chuan’s attack, he gasped for air, his head covered in cold sweat.

He couldn’t help but murmur nervously to himself, “Battling such a powerful opponent is like walking a tightrope, the slightest inattention could mean hanging by a thread!”

Immediately after, he started to control the silk wires he had laid out, drawing the Heaven-Earth Net toward the center of the courtyard.

Clack.

Suddenly, a brick fell down, crashing to the ground.

Lu Chuan turned his head to look and was shocked to see a large net formed by countless interwoven silk wires converging on him.

The silk wires had pierced through the wall, causing the entire courtyard wall to collapse with a thunderous sound.

Boom!!

All three walls of the courtyard collapsed, the sounds of shattered bricks and tiles falling one after another, the noise alerting the Zhan Residence and also startling Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang inside the house.

“What was that noise?”

Gu Xiaorou frowned slightly, listening intently.

Gu Xiaosang rubbed her chin and said, “It sounds like something collapsed, could it be the walls in the courtyard?”

They went to the window and looked out, shocked to see the walls collapsing in succession.

The broken pieces of the wall were extremely smooth and flat when cut, obviously the handiwork of Bai Hao.

When Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang spotted Lu Chuan and saw that he was unharmed, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

“It seems quite dangerous out there, should we escape further away?

If Bai Hao, that bastard, finds us, we’ll be in trouble.”

Gu Xiaosang suggested to Gu Xiaorou.

Gu Xiaorou thought deeply for a moment.

Although she didn’t want to flee and leave Lu Chuan behind, after careful and rational consideration, she realized that staying here would serve no purpose.

Not wanting to become a burden to Lu Chuan, she chose to escape.

“Let’s go, let’s head over to Old Master Zhan for a while and see if they can offer some help.”

Gu Xiaorou took Gu Xiaosang and left the place.

…

In the courtyard, Lu Chuan looked around disdainfully and chuckled.

“Is this your Heaven-Earth Net?

It’s nothing special.”

Among the ruins of the walls, Bai Hao’s figure emerged from the dust.

“Lu Chuan, aren’t you underestimating me a little too much?

Do you think my reputation as the number one assassin of Dubhe City came for nothing?”

“If I hadn’t killed so many strong opponents, would I have risen to this position?”

“You’re just one of them, after all.

Once I’ve killed you, I’ll have another big score on my record!”

He raised both hands in the shape of claws, his eyes filled with ferocity and murderous intent as he looked at Lu Chuan.

“Today is your day to die!”

“If the Lu family can’t deal with you, I will!”
