851: Chapter 811: First Encounter 851: Chapter 811: First Encounter Lu Chuan arrived at the square and at a glance, saw Wan Changdong’s figure.
He walked toward Lu Chuan, opening his arms wide with an excited smile on his face.
Lu Chuan quickly walked toward him, with Li Xunying following closely behind.
He scanned the surroundings.
Not a single figure was visible around them as he came to Lu Chuan’s side and warned, “There’s no one around here.
I think there’s a trap!”
Lu Chuan responded indifferently, “Of course there’s a trap, but can we not come?”
“Wan Changdong is definitely going to die today.
I won’t let him off,” he said.
Lu Chuan’s tone was firm, his gaze fixed on Wan Changdong’s figure, his expression serious.
Seeing this, Wan Changdong stopped in his tracks and smiled at Lu Chuan, “Young Master Lu, you came looking for someone, right?”
“Dongfang Cheng is with you, right?
I can grant you a quick death.
“You’ve got quite the nerve.
I am the City Lord of Forest City, the authority here.
How dare you speak to me ?”
He looked at Lu Chuan full of confidence.
Lu Chuan laughed scornfully, “Authority?
You’ve overestimated yourself.
I’m sparing your life solely because I don’t want to see Forest City plunge into chaos.
But you just can’t let go, can you?
Well then, since that’s the case, I’ll send you on your way.
This is your own doing.
Dongfang Cheng is in my hands.
If you dare act, I’ll kill this bastard.
I really want to see whether your alliance with him is indeed indestructible!”
Lu Chuan disdainfully said, “I bet you don’t have the guts.”
“I don’t have the guts?
Lu Chuan continued, “If you had the guts, you wouldn’t have chosen to cling desperately to life on the mountain and watch Lu Baixuan die.”
“You’re just a spineless, cowardly fellow.
Your position as City Lord is nothing more than a result of having a bunch of brothers willing to lay down their lives for you, and your somewhat promising talent!”
Lu Chuan went on, “I’m about to attack you now.
Do you dare to fight back?
I’m sure you don’t have the guts!”
Lu Chuan slowly walked toward Wan Changdong.
With each step he took, Wan Changdong’s expression grew uglier.
Wan Changdong stared at Lu Chuan, his eyes darkening slightly, a tinge of anger in his heart.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Lu Chuan’s words had obviously struck a chord in his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.
His eyes locked onto Lu Chuan like a vulture targeting its prey.
“Lu Chuan, if you’ve finished talking nonsense, it’s time to act.
Today, I’ll have a fight with you, just the two of us, one on one, no outsiders allowed.
“As for Dongfang Cheng, I might as well keep him alive for now, not letting him die.
Do you dare to accept my challenge?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan burst out laughing, “Hahaha, to think these words could come from your mouth.
Since that’s the case, then I will take you on in a duel.
I want to see what makes you so confident!”
Lu Chuan quickly walked toward Wan Changdong, who, seeing this, took on a grave expression.
He stared at Lu Chuan, took a few steps back, and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan asked, “Are you scared?”
I didn’t dare to fight you before only because I had just advanced to the Martial Saint Realm and hadn’t fully adapted to the power of this realm yet.
Now I’m fully prepared.
Today, you’re certainly going to die!”
“Heh, I’ve never considered you a worthy opponent.
Fighting me, your only fate is death.
I’m just interested in who’s behind you giving you the confidence to challenge me,”
Lu Chuan asked loudly.
Wan Changdong sneered contemptuously, “You’re not qualified to know yet.
Defeat me first, then you’ll earn the right to know.
He will be an insurmountable peak for you.
You just need to understand that once you entered this Inner City, your only fate is death.
There are no other options!”
“I advise you to see reality clearl—I’m giving you the chance to duel just to practice!”,
He spoke disdainfully, as if he already had the situation completely under control, as if he had already defeated Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan began to seriously ponder in his heart.
The person this guy was relying on must be extraordinarily powerful; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such immense confidence.
Lu Chuan raised his right hand and drew the Soul Terminating Sword from its sheath.
“Soul Terminating Sword, a high-grade Immortal Artifact.
Such a treasure in your hands is truly a waste; you do not deserve to wield such a precious sword!”
Wan Changdong arrogantly taunted and then drew a long knife from his waist.
The blade emitted a silvery white cold light, and its edge was incredibly sharp as if it could cut through hair.
After drawing the long knife, he raised his hand and pointed the tip at Lu Chuan.
“Today, I will let you witness the strength of a City Lord!”
Just then, a figure that resembled a spirit suddenly appeared behind Wan Changdong, attached to his back and emitting a faint luminescence.
The entirely azure-hued spirit moved in sync with his body, changing with the movements of his physique.
He rotated his wrist, handling the long knife, and behind him, the spirit mimicked his movements.
This was the Martial Saint Battle Soul possessed by those in the Martial Saint Realm.
With such a formidable Battle Soul possessing him, his body’s combat ability was greatly enhanced.
During the fight, his speed, strength, and senses all became heightened.
His eyes fixed on Lu Chuan, he scoffed, “Show your Martial Saint Battle Soul, let me see what strength you really have!”
Lu Chuan responded with disdain, “I don’t need to.
Let’s just start the fight.
Today I’ll properly teach you a lesson!”
The next moment, Wan Changdong charged towards Lu Chuan.
His body surged forward first, with his Martial Saint Battle Soul immediately following, mirroring his movements as it positioned itself behind him.
Following that, he swung his long knife, slashing down at Lu Chuan diagonally from above.
Lu Chuan quickly stepped back to avoid Wan Changdong’s attack.
Immediately afterward, Lu Chuan thrust out his sword, stepping forward, its blade fierce and filled with momentum as he launched his attack on Wan Changdong.
Seeing this, Wan Changdong instantly tensed up.
It did not occur to him at all that Lu Chuan would be so fast.
And he hadn’t even activated his Martial Saint Battle Soul yet!
Suddenly, Wan Changdong began to doubt as he watched Lu Chuan.
“Could it be that you do not follow the Martial Path?
No wonder you are so different from me.”
As the sword thrust towards Wan Changdong, he couldn’t afford to delay any longer and quickly retreated dozens of steps, avoiding Lu Chuan’s fierce attack.
Lu Chuan once again surged forward, holding his sword, not giving Wan Changdong a chance to breathe, continuing to unleash a flurry of attacks.
Wan Changdong hastily raised his long knife, swinging continuously, constantly blocking Lu Chuan’s assaults.
Wan Changdong, initially agressive and attacking, suddenly found himself on the defensive.
Although his strength was nearly equal to Lu Chuan’s, Lu Chuan was wielding an Immortal Artifact and possessed the formidable physique of the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, which allowed him to continuously overpower him.
