Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 768 - 768 728 Mass Burial Mound_1

768: Chapter 728: Mass Burial Mound_1 768: Chapter 728: Mass Burial Mound_1 The surrounding environment was eerie, with an ominous chill that seemed to creep up one’s spine.

Ordinary people probably didn’t even have the courage to come near this place.

As Lu Chuan entered, he remained extremely cautious.

Being in the Spirit Splitting Realm, he had ample strength to be confident, but he was still careful of the unseen traps lurking in this somber environment.

The figure standing among the trees, with their back to Lu Chuan, had long, pitch-black hair that floated in the wind.

Lu Chuan carefully approached and asked, “Hey, can you turn around?”

“Are you from the Shadow Cult or Myriad Stars City?”

Lu Chuan slowly walked forward and noticed the person didn’t move, not responding to him at all.

Lu Chuan found it strange, reached behind the person, and tugged at their arm.

Their body was rigid; sensing something was amiss, Lu Chuan quickly pulled on the individual’s arm, turning their body toward him.

After the person turned around, Lu Chuan stepped back in shock.

The thing before him was not a person, but a paper effigy, made of yellow paper with facial features painted in fresh blood.

Lu Chuan swallowed hard.

Weren’t paper effigies used by the younger generation to honor their ancestors?

Among the deceased buried in this mass burial mound, did any descendents still exist in the world?

Lu Chuan lifted his foot and kicked over the paper effigy, then scanned the surroundings and decided to press on deeper.

After walking a bit further, Lu Chuan suddenly felt a coldness creep up his back.

Soon, an indignant voice rang out, chastising Lu Chuan, “Who dares to intrude upon this place seeking death?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan sneered disdainfully, “I’m here for one purpose only: to eradicate the evil spirits in this place.”

Lu Chuan looked around and startlingly noticed behind him a dark figure hiding behind a tree, staring intently at him.

With a slightly transparent body, Lu Chuan recognized at a glance that the individual was an evil spirit.

The Soul Terminating Sword in Lu Chuan’s hand glowed brightly, signifying that there was more than one evil spirit nearby.

The shadowy figure behind the tree emitted a sinister laugh.

“Ahahaha, you think you can kill us?

What makes you think you’re worthy?”

“Even the son of Myriad Stars City’s City Lord will die at our hands, what are you compared to that?”

An evil spirit with such an arrogant tone caused Lu Chuan to tighten his grip on the sword handle, not intending to waste more words with these wicked beings.

“How about the sharp sword in my hand?”

“Dream on!”

The spirit let out a shrill cry of rage, then rushed out from behind the tree toward Lu Chuan!

Whoosh!!

She turned into a black shadow, speeding towards Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan stood his ground with a contemptuous sneer, then suddenly widened his eyes, activating the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil in an instant!

Whoosh!

Golden light seemed to shoot from Lu Chuan’s eyes, hitting the shadow and instantly incinerating it to ash, which dispersed in the wind!

“To think you attempted to attack me with such feeble power, it’s laughable.”

The only regret for Lu Chuan was that he did not manage to accumulate soul fragments as he didn’t kill the evil spirit with the Soul Terminating Sword.

Lu Chuan’s purpose here was to kill as many evil spirits with the Soul Terminating Sword as possible, accumulating plenty of soul fragments within the blade.

In future battles, if he faced grave danger, he would have a life-saving technique at his disposal.

After the death of the evil spirit, the rest all around began stirring restlessly, seemingly gearing up to launch a grand assault on Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan brandished the Soul Terminating Sword in hand, entirely devoid of fear, filled only with anticipation.

Just then, a shadow darted from the thickets on the side.

Whoosh!!

Lu Chuan suddenly became alert and hurriedly looked to the side.

However, the shadow moved with incredible speed, and no sooner had Lu Chuan turned his head than the figure had already fled the area.

Whoosh!!

Suddenly, another shadow flashed by from the side.

Lu Chuan had a bad feeling, sensing that people were gradually arriving to surround him.

Moreover, these people were corporeal beings, not ethereal evil spirits.

Each time they whooshed past, Lu Chuan could see some fallen leaves being stirred into the air.

“Daring to barge in here, I see you’re seeking death!”

“Since ancient times, not a single person who has entered here has ever lived to leave, and you are no exception!”

“Today, you are certainly going to die!

There’s no possibility for you to escape alive.”

“We have already surrounded you, prepare to meet your end!”

Shadowy figures gradually emerged all around, indeed having encircled Lu Chuan, with no way for him to escape.

But Lu Chuan had no intention of fleeing; these mere lackeys were certainly not something he would consider a threat.

“If I’m not wrong, you bunch are ordinary people possessed by evil spirits.”

“You might originally be from Myriad Stars City or the Shadow Cult, but after being possessed, the original owners of these bodies have lost the ability to control them.”

“I’m not wrong, am I?”

The group of people in black around him took a step back upon hearing this, looking at Lu Chuan with a mixture of astonishment and fear.

“How…

how did you know?”

“I’ve encountered many such cases on my way here.

The evil spirits possessing them were all slain by me, one by one.

Your petty skills are not even worth mentioning in my eyes.

To extinguish you, it’s just a matter of lifting my hand.”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, the previously ferocious men in black all grew tense.

They seemed to realize that the person who had trespassed this time was different from all the others.

The previous ones might have stumbled in by mistake or out of curiosity, but this one came specifically to kill them.

These were two completely different kinds of people.

“Hmph, empty bragging.

I see you’re nothing special.

Under our siege, you’ll only have your demise to wait for!”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, one of them, brandishing a longsword, rushed toward Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan raised his hand and parried with his sword, the tremendous force causing the man in black to stagger backward, his face displaying a look of horror.

Then, another person charged at Lu Chuan, swinging an axe in his hand with a ferocious momentum, aiming to chop Lu Chuan down.

On seeing this, Lu Chuan raised his left hand and condensed the Divine Fire of the Sun, shooting it swiftly toward the opponent.

Boom!!

The fierce fire instantly incinerated the man into ashes.

Suddenly another person holding a cleaver charged over.

Lu Chuan raised the Soul Terminating Sword, first accurately parrying, then thrusting out with a strike, precisely piercing the assailant’s body.

At once, a dark soul wriggled out of the man’s body, letting out a shrill scream.

“Ahhhhhh!”

The scream echoed throughout the valley, startling countless black crows into flight.

The evil spirit was slain, and a soul fragment entered the blade of the Soul Terminating Sword.

Seeing this, the men in black around him hesitated, their steps frozen with fear, unsure whether to advance.

They had finally found an excellent host body, been given a chance at a new life, and they did not want to see their past efforts go to waste.

Observing this, Lu Chuan said with contempt, “What’s this?

Have you all gone soft?

Where’s all that bravado from earlier?”
