Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 789 - 789 749 End of Battle_1

789: Chapter 749: End of Battle_1 789: Chapter 749: End of Battle_1 The shouting between the two men above and below the city wall grew even more intense, and Zhao Huangqian was infuriated.

He braced his hands on the city wall and glared fiercely at Lu Wansheng below, his eyes seeming to devour Lu Wansheng whole.

“You’re courting death!

No matter what, you’re doomed today, even if it costs me my life, I won’t spare you!”

He bellowed furiously.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Wansheng simply smiled faintly, “Your time is over, now you will learn what real strength is.”

“In front of the Shadow Kill Army, your combat power is negligible.

It won’t be long before you’re breached!”

“The Shadow Kill Army will storm into the city and leave none of you alive!”

Lu Wansheng retorted arrogantly.

“What does their combat power have to do with you, posing as a hero on borrowed power!

If it were a one-on-one fight, I could kill you ten times over!” Zhao Huangqian shouted angrily.

“Hahaha, the person who can change the situation is the one who laughs last, and clearly, I am that person.”

“So what if I’m not as strong as you?

I can seize the opportunity, find the chance to turn the tide, while you can only dutifully guard this city, like a lamb to the slaughter.”

Lu Wansheng continued to shout arrogantly, as if venting all his previous frustrations at this moment.

As both sides prepared for the next round of battle, Lu Chuan rode over on horseback.

“Lu Wansheng, it’s all over, this is the end for you!”

Lu Chuan rode over and shouted at Lu Wansheng.

In the open space beneath the city wall, Lu Wansheng stood among the Shadow Kill Army soldiers and turned his head towards Lu Chuan.

His gaze fixed on Lu Chuan, eyes filled with anger.

“Lu Chuan, you are the root cause of all this!”

“If it weren’t for you showing up in Myriad Stars City, I would still be the big shot here, revered by tens of thousands, but your appearance made everything disappear!”

“I absolutely can’t let you off the hook.

If I get the chance, I will kill you with my own hands!”

In that moment, his previous flattery was gone, and facing Lu Chuan, his naked hatred was on full display.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan was unfazed, knowing full well what to expect from Lu Wansheng’s attitude.

Even before, when Lu Wansheng was kowtowing to him in the Lu Manor, he already knew what Lu Wansheng was thinking.

“Keeping you alive until now was truly a misjudgment.

Hindsight being perfect, I should have killed you from the start, even without an excuse, should’ve taken action directly.”

Lu Chuan dismounted, speaking with a hint of regret.

Surrounding Lu Wansheng, the black-clad Shadow Kill Army soldiers instantly turned their heads towards Lu Chuan.

Atop the city wall, Zhao Huangqian and the surrounding soldiers likewise turned their gazes towards Lu Chuan.

“Lu Chuan, why have you come?

Where is that bastard Li Xunying?”

Lu Chuan looked up at Zhao Huangqian and said, “The farce ends today.

This battle is over.”

Pointing at Lu Chuan, Lu Wansheng rebuked, “You say it’s over and it’s over, who do you think you are!”

“This so-called Shadow Kill Army around you, I alone am enough to annihilate them, but even if I don’t lift a finger, this bunch should stop their actions now.”

Hearing this, Lu Wansheng immediately shouted loudly at the people around him, “Everyone, did you hear what this guy said?

Charge, kill this bastard first, he is the enemy of your General, after all!”

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Kill Army soldiers nearby all drew their battle sabers, advancing step by step towards Lu Chuan.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan could only glance back and say, “Come out, it’s your turn to give orders.”

Immediately, Li Xunying stepped forward and, looking at the crowd, shouted, “Everyone stop!”

A lofty reprimand brought all the Shadow Kill Army soldiers to a halt as they stood their ground, staring intently at Li Xunying.

They couldn’t understand why Li Xunying would so naturally stand beside Lu Chuan.

As for Lu Wansheng, he was stunned; his expression turned incredulous as he looked at Li Xunying.

Pointing at Li Xunying, his fingers trembled uncontrollably as he took two fearful steps back.

“Li Xunying!

You… why are you doing this?

Didn’t we agree on everything beforehand?

Why go back on your word?

If I had known you were this kind of person, I wouldn’t have collaborated with you, you fraud!”

He yelled angrily, as if he had been severely deceived and betrayed.

Li Xunying looked down on him with disdain, “Save your breath, Shadow Kill Army, heed my command—starting now, lay down your weapons and cease the battle!”

The members of the Shadow Kill Army exchanged bewildered glances, at a loss for what to do; they were prepared to fight to the death, but they hadn’t anticipated Li Xunying’s sudden appearance and order to surrender.

“General, what is this?

Are we really going to admit defeat?”

“We’ve come this far with great difficulty; are we to give up just like that?

We cannot surrender, we cannot admit defeat!”

“General, we’ve waited so many years for this day; we want revenge, we cannot surrender!”

“General, this isn’t the attitude you should be having; you’ve never been a man who admits defeat!”

Li Xunying felt ashamed inside, hanging his head, not daring to look everyone in the eye.

“My friends, it ends here.

I am no match for Lu Chuan; he could kill me anytime he wants, and that includes you all.”

At these words, everyone was at a loss, showing confusion on their faces.

For a moment, both sides within and without the city walls were at a standstill, unsure of what to do.

City Lord Zhao Huangqian, from atop the city wall, looked at Lu Chuan and asked in a deep voice, “Young Master Lu, this development isn’t good, is it?

After their surrender, is it to be peace and everyone goes home?”

“The hatred has become irreconcilable; they must atone with their lives to appease the spirits of the fallen City Guards!”

Lu Chuan raised his head to look at Zhao Huangqian and asked, “City Lord Zhao, to continue fighting will only lead to greater losses.”

Zhao Huangqian somersaulted over the city wall and descended towards the ground below.

Bang!!

His feet landed firmly on the ground as he walked towards Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, today it’s either them dead or me alive, there’s no other choice!”

“To let things be, I cannot accept that.”

Li Xunying looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “Young Master Lu, what do you think should be done about this?”

“Whatever I decide, will you have no objections?”

Li Xunying hung his head, sighed, and said helplessly, “I have nothing to say.

As long as you can help me fulfill the vengeance I yearn for, I will accept anything.”

Lu Chuan looked towards City Lord Zhao Huangqian and proposed, “Then let’s handle it this way: the entire Shadow Kill Army, over a hundred people, will all die as atonement, including Lu Wansheng.”

“As for Li Xunying, though he is the murderer of your son, he has completely lowered his stance, submitting to me, with only vengeance left as his sole purpose for the rest of his life; you might as well consider him already dead.”

Zhao Huangqian pondered for a long time, then lifted his head to look at Li Xunying.

“I really want to kill him too, but… since you’ve put it that way, I have nothing to say.”
