Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 823 - 823 783

823: 783 823: 783 Wan Changdong clenched his fists, this unprecedented power filled him with immense excitement and fervor.

Now filled with the will to fight, he only wanted to battle Lu Chuan to the death.

However, the admonitions of Lu Baixuan made him hesitate.

He looked at Lu Chuan, unsure of what to do next.

“The long-desired Martial Saint Realm, I finally broke through!”

“This power inside me, unprecedentedly strong, I have never felt something so wonderful.”

He raised his longsword and waved it a few times, a look of intoxication on his face.

“But now, to run away, that’s something I absolutely cannot do.”

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, he charged towards Lu Chuan.

After struggling internally, he had decided to fight Lu Chuan to the end.

Seeing this, Lu Baixuan was filled with despair, feeling his heart turn to ashes.

Lu Chuan picked up the Soul Terminating Sword and also rushed toward Wan Changdong.

Swoosh!

Their first clash, swords colliding, sparked dazzling sparks.

Lu Chuan shockingly noticed, on his opponent’s back, dense black tattoos, which likely weren’t tattoos but the external signs of possession by an evil spirit.

“So it’s the path of evil, what kind of combat power can your Martial Saint Realm achieved through such breakthrough possibly have?”

Lu Chuan knocked away the opponent’s longsword and suddenly swept his sword from below.

Wan Changdong hastily retreated, but still got nicked by the sword edge, a wound appearing on his lower abdomen, beginning to bleed.

“Your strength and speed are only so-so, even if you broke through to the Martial Saint Realm, you’re still no match for me.”

Wan Changdong felt conflicted inside; his hard-earned breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm still seemed no match for his opponent.

The chasm-like disparity made it difficult for him to accept.

“I don’t accept this!

Being in the same Martial Saint Realm, it’s impossible that I’m weaker than you, I who have been through a hundred battles, how could you compare to me?”

He swung his longsword continuously, unleashing various sword techniques, the fierce momentum momentarily forcing Lu Chuan to retreat, somewhat unable to resist.

Seeing this, Li Xunying hastily shouted, “Young Master Lu, do you need my help?”

“Not for now, let me let this guy see the reality, acting like he’s invincible after being City Lord of Forest City for so many years.”

Lu Chuan was considerably stronger than Wan Changdong, and as he blocked continuous sword strikes, Wan Changdong’s hands began to tremble slightly.

“The fight isn’t over yet, why the pointless talk?

The outcome is still uncertain!”

He said confidently, evidently very confident in his Martial Saint Realm capabilities.

Lu Chuan coldly smiled, “If you can’t even force out my flames, and you still think you can win, you’re seeking your own death!”

Lu Chuan raised his left hand, and the Divine Fire of the Sun appeared in the center of his palm.

The blazing flames appeared, instantly dispersing the chill of the night.

Feeling the terrifying heat, Wan Changdong’s heart tightened, and his grip on the sword softened.

“I told you, run back while you still can, we’ll still have a chance!”

Lu Baixuan still gritted his teeth and shouted.

Li Xunying immediately became impatient, throwing him to the ground and pressing his knee on his neck.

Instantly, Lu Baixuan was put into a state of suffocation, his cheeks turning red and his breathing becoming difficult.

“Young Master Lu, should I just kill this bastard?”

“No rush, take it slow.”

Lu Chuan said indifferently.

Then, he dropped the Divine Fire of the Sun onto the blade of his sword, the flames dancing on the sword excitedly.

Lu Chuan walked toward Wan Changdong.

“City Lord Wan, you cooperated with the wrong party.

Now tell me, what did Zhao Huangqian write to you in his letter?”

Wan Changdong froze in place, his heartbeat speeding up as he furrowed his brow, recalling continuously.

“Zhao Huangqian… he told me to befriend you, to cooperate with you, to take good care of you.”

Lu Chuan sneered, “His earnest advice didn’t persuade you?”

“He doesn’t know the situation in Forest City.

My choice to cooperate with Lu Manor is also normal.”

“Lu Chuan, you can’t withstand Lu Manor.

Do you think that by siding with the Dongfang family, everything will be alright?”

“In the eyes of the Dongfang family, you are merely a tool to be used.”

Lu Chuan gave a faint smile, “It’s mutual usage, you might also call it cooperation.

It’s just a title.”

“But you insisted on killing Dongfang Lian, so this cooperation also ends here.”

Lu Chuan shrugged, “Before I bring down Lu Manor, they won’t break with me.”

“You still want to cooperate with them?

Do you trust them that much?”

Wan Changdong asked, quite puzzled.

“Do I trust them?

Otherwise, why didn’t I bring anyone from Dongfang Residence for this operation?”

Wan Changdong looked at Li Xunying, who was wrapped in black clothes, unrecognizable.

But most likely not from Dongfang Residence.

“Would you continue to struggle?

With this sword strike, you won’t bear it!”

Wan Changdong bowed his head, as if the excitement had just passed.

He suppressed the surge of excitement he just had and began to ponder.

He looked up at Lu Chuan, sighing helplessly, “This one, is also at the Martial Saint Realm, right?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Correct, you see clearly.

He is indeed at the Martial Saint Realm, otherwise, he couldn’t suppress Lu Baixuan.”

“I… I concede…”

He put down his weapon, throwing the longsword on the ground, and raised his hands.

Lu Chuan shook his head and smiled, “I thought you would fight with me to the end.

Seems you know the times well.”

“Lu Chuan, I concede.

Spare my life.”

Lu Chuan put away the Soul Terminating Sword, “Whether I can spare you, I can’t say for sure now.

First, cooperate with me and do some things.”

“I… will cooperate.”

At this moment, Lu Baixuan, pinned to the ground, glared with furious eyes.

His face flushed red, he shouted hoarsely, “Wan Changdong, what on earth are you doing?

Are you betraying me?”

“Big Brother Lu, compelled by circumstances, I surely can’t put my life at stake to fight him to the death, can I?”

Lu Baixuan roared, “You coward, aren’t you the City Lord?”

“It wasn’t easy for me to reach the Martial Saint Realm.

Am I supposed to just flash in the pan?

I want to live; this is a forced move.”

“As for you, Big Brother Lu, you’ve also reached the end of your life; your death won’t be a pity.

You’ve enjoyed the style of a lifetime, while I am just middle-aged.”

Lu Baixuan, furious, wanted to curse, but Li Xunying firmly restrained him, rendering him speechless.

Lu Chuan approached him, looked at Li Xunying, and said, “Let him sit up.”

Li Xunying grabbed Lu Baixuan by the neck, pressed him against a withered tree, and made him sit on the ground leaning against the trunk.

Lu Chuan squatted in front of him, sizing him up.

“Old man, I’m going to ask you some questions in a bit.

You’d better tell the truth, or you’ll suffer.”

“In your dreams!”

Lu Baixuan, suddenly enraged, picked up his own longsword and stabbed it toward his abdomen.
