Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 847 - 847 807 Ambushed Halfway

847: Chapter 807: Ambushed Halfway 847: Chapter 807: Ambushed Halfway The group in front of him was blocked by Lu Chuan, and their words all aroused suspicion.

Lu Chuan had already determined that it was this group who had made their move; both attacks yesterday were most likely their doing!

Lu Chuan no longer planned to let this group leave, he was determined to end them all right here.

“City Lord, I originally intended to take him out but decided not to bother since he seemed honest enough,”

“Who would have thought that he would actually make the first move against me, how amusing.

Is this guy brave or not?

Or is it that someone else has emboldened him, just like Lu Baixuan did?”

“I don’t know, but I no longer need to doubt when it comes to you people; you are the murderers, the assassins sent by Wan Changdong!”

Upon hearing this, the captain immediately drew his cleaver from the saddle, “Lu Chuan, don’t provoke us any further, we’re not afraid of you.

You may be in the Martial Saint Realm, we know how formidable you are, but our group of over a dozen is not to be trifled with!”

“Is that so?

Then come on, show me what you’ve got!”

Not only was Lu Chuan unafraid, but he continued to arrogantly instigate them, leaving the entire City Guards squad at a loss.

They truly dared not start a fight.

Although they had never witnessed the strength of the Martial Saint Realm, they had heard of the formidable combat power possessed by those within it.

That strength was overwhelmingly dominant when faced with the Martial Emperor Realm.

Lu Chuan gripped the Soul Terminating Sword tight, and with his left hand, unleashed the Divine Fire of the Sun, readying himself for battle.

The captain dismounted, cleaver in hand, and on its blade, a sharp current of air was gathering and coalescing.

He locked eyes with Lu Chuan and asked again, “Lu Chuan, do you really want to fight us?

You, a strong fighter of the Martial Saint Realm, might not necessarily gain the upper hand against us!”

“Do you think it’s just me in the Martial Saint Realm who will fight you?

If it was only me, the City Lord wouldn’t be afraid, nor would he stoop to such sneaky actions.”

“What?

What do you mean by that?

Could it be that there is another strong fighter in the Martial Saint Realm within Forest City?”

Meanwhile, Dongfang Cheng curiously looked towards Li Xunying, “With your strength in the Martial Saint Realm, combined with Lu Chuan, you should be able to crush the opposition, right?”

Li Xunying simply nodded his head in silence, then gripping a dagger, he stepped out from the bushes.

As he emerged, the entire City Guards squad all turned to look at him.

When they saw Li Xunying, they couldn’t help but murmur among themselves.

Could it be that this man in black was also a strong fighter in the Martial Saint Realm?

“Lu Chuan, you really want to fight us, is that right?

If you choose to fight us, it means you would be declaring war on Wan Changdong, and our conflict will be irreconcilable!”

Lu Chuan said with disdain, “Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!”

Whoosh!

Lu Chuan pressed the Divine Fire of the Sun onto the body of the sword.

The intensely hot and bright flames danced continuously on the blade.

Seeing such high-temperature flames caused everyone’s heart to race and filled them with trepidation.

Whoosh!!

Lu Chuan didn’t waste words and directly flung out the Soul Terminating Sword, the fierce Sword Qi shot forth instantly towards the crowd.

“Get out of the way!”

The captain shouted, then swung his long blade, and a stream of air was released in a flash, retaliating against the Sword Qi Lu Chuan had fired.

Bang!!!

The clash of the blades and streams of air collided, creating a piercing noise.

However, the captain’s air stream was engulfed by the flames and almost instantly vanished.

Whoosh!!

The flame-imbued Sword Qi struck the captain’s chest.

In the next moment, the captain was blasted away, crashing heavily onto the ground.

His chest was a blur of blood and charred flesh; even his sturdy chest armor was shattered, unable to withstand Lu Chuan’s assault.

In order to dodge the Sword Qi, the crowd scattered in disarray as they clumsily fled, immediately breaking formation.

Suddenly, Li Xunying’s figure appeared behind one of them.

“You are already dead.”

Li Xunying’s tone was ice-cold as he emotionlessly murmured.

Swish!

The next moment, a dagger flashing with cold light was swung out, instantly beheading someone.

Right after, Lu Chuan launched another attack, giving this group no chance to catch their breath.

One after the other, like wolves among sheep, they started a merciless slaughter against these people.

Dongfang Cheng, who was watching the battle from the side, couldn’t help but sigh after witnessing the bloody scene.

The power disparity between the Martial Emperor Realm and the Martial Saint Realm was simply astonishing.

In less than five minutes’ time, most of this group had fallen dead or wounded.

A moment later, Lu Chuan had slain the entire group, with only one person casting aside their armor.

Amidst the fierce fight, they seized the opportunity to escape from the scene.

Lu Chuan took out a handkerchief and wiped the bloodstains off the sword.

After cleaning, he slid the blade back into its sheath.

Li Xunying approached Lu Chuan, respectfully asking, “Boss, do you want me to chase after the survivor?”

“No need, let him go back and report.

I want to see if Wan Changdong dares to trouble me.”

“Then let’s let him off.

Now that the enemy is eradicated, our mine can operate normally.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “The key still lies with the City Lord.

If he doesn’t continue to cause trouble, then we can operate normally.”

“Boss, let’s just storm in and kill that bastard,” Li Xunying suggested.

“Almost all of his men are dead now, and the leftovers are worthless trash, which makes them even easier to clean up.”

Lu Chuan turned to look at Dongfang Cheng and said, “Let’s head back to the city first.”

Dongfang Cheng emerged from the bushes and walked towards the scattered horses.

“We might as well ride these people’s horses back, or else we’ll have a long walk ahead of us.”

Dongfang Cheng found a somewhat docile black horse, mounted it, and then flicked the reins, preparing to return to Forest City.

Lu Chuan and Li Xunying each found a horse as well.

Once mounted, they began making their way towards Forest City.

On the way, they didn’t see the fleeing figure, guessing that the individual had probably hidden away in the desolate land nearby.

Lu Chuan didn’t bother with such concerns and rode directly back to Forest City.

Upon returning to Lu Manor, Lu Chuan began to prepare a plan for how to kill the City Lord.

Meanwhile.

Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, a figure hurriedly ran back.

They had cast aside their armor, discarding all of their gear, left with only the thin clothes underneath.

The person ran towards the City Lord’s Mansion, distraught, while shouting, “Disaster has struck!”

Soon, they were brought inside the City Lord’s Mansion and then to the study within.

In the study, Wan Changdong was sitting in a wooden chair, reading an unidentifiable ancient text.

“Honorable City Lord, disaster!

Disaster!

Our entire squad, they’re all dead!”

He walked in with a look of grief.

Upon hearing this, Wan Changdong hurriedly stood up and walked over to him.

“What happened?

Why is everyone dead?

What occurred?”

“It was Lu Chuan, he ambushed us halfway and killed us all, he knew it was us!

He’s known all along!”
