Chapter 784 - 784 744 Encounter with a Strong Enemy_1

784: Chapter 744: Encounter with a Strong Enemy_1 784: Chapter 744: Encounter with a Strong Enemy_1 Lu Chuan scolded the shadow ahead of him.

After startling the other party, he suddenly raised his right hand, pointing at Lu Chuan.

“You ruined my grand plan, I will never forgive you!

My century of effort has gone to waste, all because of you.

I will unleash all my rage upon you!”

“Oh, really?

Then bring it on.

I was just worrying I might not have a worthy opponent to fight with.

Let’s see if you’re qualified!”

Lu Chuan said with full confidence, while taking out the Soul Terminating Sword, its blade wreathed in blue light, shining brightly in the dark environment.

“Seeking death!

If it weren’t for the Immortal Artifact in your hand, I would have killed you long ago!”

He shouted arrogantly.

Lu Chuan sneered, “Stop making excuses.

The fact that I could get, and keep, this precious sword, is proof of my strength.”

“Enough talk, your end is not far!”

Lu Chuan looked behind him, where it was empty, not a single person in sight.

The inn’s waiter said he saw a few hundred people going up the mountain; how come no one is here now?

“Hey, where is that guy, Lu Wansheng?

Call him out, I want to kill him!”

“I spared his life, not for him to stab me in the back!”

“Lu Wansheng?

He’s nothing but a tool for my vengeance.”

Lu Chuan laughed, “Both of you are so eager for revenge against me, but even if you join forces, you stand no chance.”

“Answer my question.

Where have Lu Wansheng and the rest of the Lu family gone?”

Li Xunying burst into laughter, “They’ve already descended the mountain, back to Myriad Stars City!”

“Tonight will be the calamity of Myriad Stars City.

They will be slaughtered by the Shadow Kill Army, the city will run red with blood, and a blood mist will cover the sky.

Everyone will die beneath the lost souls of the Shadow Kill Army!”

His unrestrained laughter was full of smugness.

“Let’s see if they get past the City Guards first.”

Lu Chuan’s words only elicited a sneer of disdain from Li Xunying.

The white-clad follower continued, “If they can’t even get past a City Guard, dreaming of slaughtering the city is delusional.

Wake up!”

“Indeed, you’re underestimating the power of Myriad Stars City too much.

Your plan is bound to fail eventually!”

Li Xunying said with disdain, “Lu Chuan, I should be thanking you.

If you hadn’t battered Lu Manor like that, they wouldn’t be in such a desperate situation, giving me such a great opportunity!”

“This time, my Shadow Kill Army was fully resurrected, all thanks to you.

You really are my benefactor, I must thank you properly.”

“How should I thank you?

Ah, by sending you to hell!”

He abruptly raised his hand, flinging his arm forward, and two flying darts shot toward Lu Chuan.

Whoosh!

Lu Chuan quickly lifted the Soul Terminating Sword to block the darts speeding his way.

Clang~~

The flying darts were deflected away, and Lu Chuan, gripping his Longsword, stared at the distant shadow, saying, “I’ve received your gratitude.”

“I should also thank you for providing me with so many evil spirits; it’s been a great help.”

Li Xunying’s voice grew stern as he asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“You recognize the Soul Terminating Sword but don’t know its traits.

It’s designed to slay evil spirits, absorbing the soul fragments they leave behind into its blade.

These accumulate until the right moment when they’re unleashed in a deadly strike.”

“Li Xunying, give up hope.

You can’t win.

At most, you’ll just make me pay a higher price.”

“Dream on!

You actually think I’m not your match?

You’re just a brat with a spear, today I’ll teach you a lesson in humility!”

Whoosh!!

Several more flying darts shot forth in succession, their speed making them nearly impossible to react to.

Lu Chuan also struggled to react in time, but he managed to form several Sword Qi patterns in front of him, fortuitously blocking all the darts.

Lu Chuan held the Soul Terminating Sword tightly, his gaze fixed on the shadow.

“Is that all you’ve got?

That’s it?

Now it’s my turn!”

Lu Chuan raised his left hand, infusing the Divine Fire of the Sun into the blade, and the Soul Terminating Sword instantly transformed into a blazing sword of fire.

Then, Lu Chuan swept horizontally toward Li Xunying’s direction.

Boom!!

A blaze of Sword Qi swept out, surging toward Li Xunying.

Seeing the situation, Li Xunying didn’t try to resist and immediately dodged to the side, his speed so fast that he almost instantly left the attack range.

Lu Chuan, observing this, realized after a brief exchange that this guy was agile, with lightning-fast speed, and skilled in the use of hidden weapons.

In this environment of dense deadwood and darkness, it truly was his home court advantage.

Whish!

Once again, Li Xunying’s figure disappeared from sight, vanishing from Lu Chuan’s field of vision.

Lu Chuan scanned around but could not find any trace of Li Xunying.

“Where did this guy run off to?”

The white-clothed attendant looked around curiously and asked.

“Everyone be careful, this guy will hide in the dark and use hidden weapons.”

Lu Chuan shouted loudly, “And you call yourself a leader of an army, fighting in such a shady manner, you disgrace your title as General.”

“Hahaha, you’re too naive.

Throwing darts and agility are just part of my many skills.

Do you really think that’s all I can do?”

Hearing Li Xunying’s voice, Lu Chuan quickly turned and looked up at the trees beside him.

Although he didn’t see anyone, Lu Chuan activated his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil.

Whish!!

A beam of golden light shot out.

Whish!!!

The next moment, a figure smashed through countless dead branches and fell down.

At this point, Li Xunying only felt a buzzing in his head.

He gasped for air and quickly got up from the ground.

But just then, Lu Chuan rushed over with a swoosh, drawing the Soul Terminating Sword and swinging it at him.

Seeing this, Li Xunying gritted his teeth and shouted, “Seeking death!”

He drew a battle saber from his waist and swung it toward Lu Chuan’s Soul Terminating Sword.

Clang!!!

Dazzling flames scattered around, providing a moment of light in the gloom of the deadwood forest.

And in that instant, Lu Chuan also saw Li Xunying’s facial contour.

A long face, cheeks sunken without flesh, eyes sharp as an eagle’s, thin lips without curve, the entire person looked fierce and ruthless.

Lu Chuan kicked out, sending him flying.

He then launched another fierce attack.

Li Xunying, retreating dozens of steps, steadied himself and clenched his teeth.

The brief exchange made him aware that Lu Chuan was no easy opponent; he couldn’t afford a head-on confrontation.

The next moment, Lu Chuan caught up and thrust his sword toward him.

However, as the blade pierced through his body, Lu Chuan wore a puzzled expression.

“No resistance?

An afterimage?”

The figure of Li Xunying before him turned out to be an illusion; as Lu Chuan’s blade entered, there was no resistance at all.

Lu Chuan withdrew the Soul Terminating Sword, scanning his surroundings.

“Is fleeing your specialty?”

“Still thinking of chasing me by sound?

Not a chance!”

This time, Li Xunying’s voice came from all directions.

Lu Chuan frowned slightly; this guy was indeed troublesome.

Different from the trouble that Lu Wu presented, this kind of trouble made one feel powerless, almost at a loss on how to begin.

Lu Chuan walked over to the attendant.

“Stay alert, everyone.

Kill this bastard and we’ll head back to support the City Guards.”
