769: Chapter 729 The City Lord’s Son_1 769: Chapter 729 The City Lord’s Son_1 The black-clothed person, who had been stabbed by Lu Chuan, fell to the ground and paused for a moment, as if he briefly succumbed to death.

But soon after, he started to struggle on the ground again, his body convulsively twitching while he let out mournful howls.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly approached, and to his surprise, found that the man seemed to have returned to normal, and the evil spirit within him had been expelled.

It seemed that he had fully recovered, and his entire being had been revived.

He lay on the ground, his face showing a look of pain, and he cried out, “Where am I?

Where is this?”

It appeared that this fellow really had come around, so Lu Chuan squatted beside him and asked, “Who are you?”

“Who am I?

I am a disciple of the Shadow Cult, and who might you be?”

He looked at Lu Chuan, curiously asking in return while cautiously moving backward.

Lu Chuan continued, “I’m the one who is here to save you.

Now that you have recovered, you can leave this place.”

“You…

you saved me?”

“All I remember is a black shadow penetrating my body and then an intense headache…”

“Then…

I lost consciousness…”

He coughed twice, and blood sputtered from his mouth.

Looking down, he was shocked to see that his chest had been pierced by a sharp sword.

When he looked up, he saw Lu Chuan holding a longsword, and on its blade was a layer of blood.

Seeing this, he immediately became panicked.

“The sword wound in my chest, was it your doing!

Are you trying to kill me?”

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “It was only after I plunged this sword into you that I was able to save you.”

“Had I not given you this strike, you would still be unconscious, with no hope of seeing daylight.”

“But…

what am I to do now?

I’ve been seriously injured.

I can’t escape from here!”

He cried out in distress.

Lu Chuan raised his left hand and summoned the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, then quickly placed the flame over the man’s chest.

“Ah…

what is this?”

He looked at Lu Chuan in astonishment, not understanding why he would do such a thing.

However, he felt no searing heat; instead, a sensation of warmth spread through him.

The pain in his chest subsided, and the bleeding stopped instantly.

“The wound has healed?

Just like that?”

He looked at Lu Chuan, surprised, with disbelief written all over his face.

“That’s right, you are now unharmed.

You can leave this place,” Lu Chuan reassured him.

“Thank you for your life-saving help, thank you so much!”

He quickly knelt down and repeatedly kowtowed to Lu Chuan, his emotions causing tears and snot to flow.

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder and continued asking, “Is the City Lord’s son of Myriad Stars City also here?”

“Yes, we set out together originally, having heard about a peculiar Spiritual Medicine in this area, so we decided to come over.”

“But where he is now, I have no idea…”

Lu Chuan scanned the surroundings and saw that the black-clothed men had retreated about ten meters away, all clustered together, watching him with utmost wariness.

Lu Chuan sneered, “You have some sense of the situation, to know so quickly who is stronger.

Now, I will not let any of you escape.”

The next moment, the group of black-clothed men turned and ran, rushing frantically through the dense forest.

Lu Chuan stood up, clutching the Soul Terminating Sword, “Still thinking of running away?

No chance—surrender to your fate right here!”

Lu Chuan looked at the rescued Sect Disciple, “We cannot linger here; you go ahead and leave.

Leave the rest to me!”

Having said this, Lu Chuan charged towards the direction in which the black-clothed men were fleeing.

The rescued Sect Disciple watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but marvel.

“This guy is too fierce, managing to chase so many of them into fleeing by himself.”

He couldn’t help but recall the time when they had just arrived here and encountered the evil spirit.

At that time, an evil spirit scared their souls out of them, and they all lost their footing in the dense forest, scattering in all directions.

Their disheveled appearance then is laughable to him now.

And this gentleman, he turned the situation on its head—alone, he chased a group of evil spirits, showing no mercy and giving them no chance to escape.

He hastily got up and fled the troubled spot.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan pursued into the thick of the forest, where the group quickly dispersed, leaving him with no clear target.

Choosing a direction, he activated Supreme Phantom Dodge, quickening his steps, his figure blurring like an illusion.

In a few moments, he was right behind a man in black.

“Prepare to die!”

The man in black turned to see Lu Chuan suddenly behind him, and trembled convulsively with fear, stopping in his tracks and kneeling with a thud.

“Big brother, spare me!

I won’t dare trouble you again!”

He pleaded desperately.

Lu Chuan looked down at him, with his longsword poised under the man’s chin.

The runes on the blade emitted a dazzling phosphorescence, and the man in black trembled violently, not daring to look directly at Lu Chuan, showing a strong aversion to the precious sword.

It seemed as though there was an intense repulsion between the two, making him reluctant to get close to Lu Chuan’s Soul Terminating Sword.

“If this precious sword cuts into you, your soul will scatter to the winds.

Tell me, what is the identity of the body you’re inhabiting?”

“I…

I don’t know, I couldn’t care less about who he is, as long as I can control him.”

He said nervously.

“Heh, seems you’re no use to me.”

Lu Chuan did not hesitate, swinging his sword directly towards the man’s chest.

Swoosh!!

The blade sliced across his chest, and blood instantly spurted out.

The man fell back, losing consciousness.

Only moments later, his body slowly began to move again.

He opened his eyes and, with difficulty, lifted his arm to rub them.

Lu Chuan stood beside him and asked, “Hey, can you hear me?”

The man shot up, retreating several steps in quick succession, looking at Lu Chuan with a wary face.

“Who are you?”

“I saved you, just now.”

“Saved me…”

He turned his head, scanning the surroundings; the eerie atmosphere here triggered unpleasant memories.

“I remember…

I was here looking for Spiritual Medicine when some filthy things targeted me, and during my flight through the forest, I hit a tree trunk and then blacked out…”

“You were possessed.

I just exterminated the evil spirit inside you, and that’s why you’ve come around.”

“Really?” He stared wide-eyed, curiously at Lu Chuan.

“Now tell me, who are you?”

He quickly stood up, clutching his chest in pain, and said, “Take me down the mountain, take me back to Myriad Stars City!

Quick!”

He spoke anxiously, “Are you from Myriad Stars City?”

“Yes, I’m from Myriad Stars City, I am the son of the City Lord, Zhao Huangqian, Zhao Kanglong!”

He continued frantically, “My rescuer, please take me down the mountain quickly, I need to get home.

As long as I can get back, I’ll give you whatever you want!”

He was very anxious to leave the area, not wanting to stay a second longer.

Lu Chuan remained calm, “No rush.

Once I’ve cleared all the evil spirits from here, I’ll naturally take you down the mountain.”
