Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 917 - 917 877 Disparity in Strength

917: Chapter 877: Disparity in Strength 917: Chapter 877: Disparity in Strength Nangong Tian’s offensive was extremely fierce, forcing Lu Chuan to keep retreating, leaving him no choice but to resist stubbornly.

Lu Chuan stepped back repeatedly, his eyes fixedly staring at the longsword in Nangong Tian’s hand.

This guy’s speed and strength were both a level higher than his own.

If he didn’t concentrate fully, he would risk serious injury with just a slight carelessness.

After several rounds of sword moves, Nangong Tian stood still, gazing at Lu Chuan.

“Seeing how you’re panting, this is the extent of your strength,” he said.

“Fighting against me is truly a death wish.

When I learned you wanted a duel, I was quite surprised.

I thought it incredible that someone so ignorant of their own limits still existed in this world.”

“But seeing how young you are, I understand.

Youth know no fear, this courage has its pros and cons, and now you must taste the bitterness.”

“Now, I will cripple you and then rescue my children!”

He spoke indifferently, without the earlier anger.

Once he felt sure of his victory, his heart calmed down.

This feeling of controlling everything made him comfortable and at ease.

The people around saw that Lu Chuan looked weak and shook their heads with sighs.

Lu Chuan’s strength was still lacking; he was completely overwhelmed in the fight.

The outcome seemed certain, with seemingly no suspense left.

Dongfang Cheng, standing in the midst of the crowd, watched Lu Chuan with furrowed brows and a grave expression.

Though he trusted Lu Chuan, seeing him in such a state still caused him some concern.

Standing to the side, Dongfang Ming looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “Young master, this doesn’t look good at all.

If this continues, the result is self-evident, there’s hardly any suspense.

Does he really have any chance of turning the tide?”

Dongfang Cheng nodded significantly, turned to Dongfang Ming, and said with a weighty tone, “I trust his strength.

If he dares to challenge such an opponent to a duel, knowing the opponent’s strength, then it proves he definitely has the confidence and the ability.”

“So, I believe in him.

He absolutely has the means to contend with his opponent!”

“Alright, although I don’t know what other cards he holds, I trust your judgment.

Since you think so highly of him, I won’t say anything.

But you should know, if Lu Chuan loses, it will also be bad news for Dongfang Residence.

When that time comes, handling this will be difficult.

We need to be cautious,” Dongfang Ming replied.

Dongfang Cheng took a deep breath and placed his hand on Dongfang Ming’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, the Nangong family isn’t bold enough to do anything to our Dongfang family yet!”

“They might not dare to confront us directly, but if they side with the Lu family, becoming their vassals or their pawn, that will be bad news for us,” Dongfang Ming cautioned.

Dongfang Cheng’s eyes fixed on Lu Chuan’s figure.

“I believe he can do it.

He will definitely beat his opponent.”

…

The rest of the audience felt anxious for Lu Chuan.

At that moment, Lu Chuan’s clothes were slashed in many places during the recent combat.

Even his abdomen had some minor wounds that were already bleeding.

Though the injuries were not severe, they had already set the tone for the disparity in strength between the two.

Lu Chuan’s physical strength was definitely not on par with Nangong Tian’s.

This was beyond question.

As Nangong Tian watched Lu Chuan, he suddenly became curious.

“The wounds on your body are only slightly bleeding yet they heal immediately.”

“As someone who has fought for years and incurred countless wounds, this rate of healing is definitely not normal!”

“I see you still have many secrets, and probably many treasures too.

If I could defeat you, it would be a huge opportunity for the Nangong family, maybe helping our family rise a notch higher.”

“Just the Immortal Artifact in your hand has enough allure!”

Nangong Tian eyed Lu Chuan greedily, viewing him at that moment as if he were a delectable piece of meat.

Lu Chuan, holding the sword in one hand, slowly walked toward Nangong Tian.

“If you think to take something from me, you better be prepared to pay with your life!”

Lu Chuan lifted the Soul Terminating Sword in his hand.

He no longer intended to continue the struggle.

Continuing the fight would only become increasingly disadvantageous for Lu Chuan.

If the fight continued, Lu Chuan would not only expend a great deal of physical strength, but he would also sustain varying degrees of injury!

Therefore, the best option was to end the battle as quickly as possible.

If it dragged on too long and he managed to defeat Nangong Tian, he would still be severely injured.

At that time, seeing his weakened state, the remaining members of the Nangong family would probably take advantage of the situation.

Lu Chuan lifted the Soul Terminating Sword.

Engraved with obscure runes was a thin line at the very center of the blade.

Lu Chuan placed his left thumb on the line and slid it from the base towards the tip of the sword.

Whoosh!!!

As he traced the line, the runes emitted a faint blue glow.

Suddenly, it was as if a crack had opened within the sword itself, a deep, dark fissure fully revealed.

Whoosh!!

This seemed like a spatial rift leading to another world; from the moment it opened, endless energy surged forth.

The blade vibrated violently as a powerful beam of light shot out from the fissure, with Lu Chuan gripping the hilt with both hands, using all his strength to control the Soul Terminating Sword.

Hum~~~

Nangong Tian seemed to sense something amiss and shouted loudly, “What are you doing?”

“Damn it!

This energy is absolutely extraordinary!”

As Nangong Tian felt the astonishing energy released from the Soul Terminating Sword, he immediately furrowed his brow, and drenched in sweat, he charged frantically towards Lu Chuan.

He absolutely could not just sit by and watch as Lu Chuan prepared his killing move.

Whoosh!!!

Nangong Tian exerted all his speed, swiftly flying towards Lu Chuan.

Seeing this, everyone also sensed something extraordinary.

The amazing energy released by the Soul Terminating Sword in Lu Chuan’s hand astonished everyone present.

Although their perception ability was not as good as Nangong Tian’s, they clearly felt the power emanating from Lu Chuan’s precious sword.

Nangong Tian, mad with urgency, charged at Lu Chuan.

Reaching Lu Chuan, he lifted his precious sword to strike him down.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately raised the Soul Terminating Sword to block.

Clang!!

The swords collided, and at the moment of their confrontation, an explosive sound was produced.

Bang!!

Nangong Tian’s precious sword instantly broke in half!

Whoosh!!

The shortened sword flew out, landing on the nearby ground with its sharp blade embedding into the stone pavement.

Shocked by the force, Nangong Tian staggered back over ten meters.

He stopped, staring at Lu Chuan, teeth clenched.

“What exactly are you doing?

Why did such fierce power suddenly erupt?”

Looking at the broken sword in his hands, he was rendered utterly speechless.
