Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 573 - 533: The City Lord is Critically Ill_1

Old Zhao’s words immediately scared Yuan Hun out of his wits, causing his whole body to tremble with fear.

"What? What did you say? You want me to die? Why should I die, I am the City Lord’s son, in Carefree City, it’s not my turn to die!"

He then turned his head to look at Lu Chuan, "What gives you the right to say someone should die and then they die, what right do you have!"

Lu Chuan looked at Old Zhao and said, "I’ll do it myself."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao nodded helplessly, "Then make it clean, don’t waste time going to save the City Lord."

"Make it clean? That won’t do."

Lu Chuan looked at Yuan Hun and drew the bronze sword from behind him.

"It seems you don’t have much sincerity either."

"I’ll listen to you, do whatever you want to do."

When Old Zhao saw the familiar bronze sword in Lu Chuan’s hand, he got somewhat excited inside, knowing that if Lu Chuan could find the City Lord with this sword, he could save the City Lord’s life!

He retreated several steps, clearing a space for Lu Chuan to end Yuan Hun’s life.

"Good, I’ll use you to practice my swordsmanship."

Seeing this, Yuan Hun clenched his fists, "Come on, who’s afraid of you, acting all mystical, you’re no match for me in strength!"

He confidently walked towards Lu Chuan, his fists ready to strike at any moment.

At that moment, Lu Chuan’s eyes turned to a dark golden color as he activated the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil and glared at Yuan Hun.

Swish!

The next moment, Yuan Hun’s brain shook, his spirit gradually crumbling, leaving him barely able to stand up.

He exclaimed in horror, "What... what is this?"

He knelt on one knee, cold sweat densely beading on his forehead.

The Divine Soul Attack from the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil had shattered his will, leaving him powerless.

Now, he was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter.

"With such little strength, you dare to be arrogant in front of me."

Lu Chuan walked up to him and swiftly wielded the bronze sword.

The bronze sword looked old and worn, and its blade hadn’t been sharpened for a long time.

A strike on Yuan Hun’s body caused only a minor wound. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Pulling out any sharp precious sword could easily cut a person in half, but the purpose of the bronze sword was not to chop people, but to execute evil spirits.

Therefore, this strike on Yuan Hun’s body hardly caused any fatal injury.

Immediately, Lu Chuan slashed him with one sword stroke after another, causing hundreds of cuts all over Yuan Hun’s body.

With each slice of the sword, Yuan Hun let out a piercing and miserable scream.

The screaming alarmed nearly everyone in the City Lord’s Mansion.

However, when they saw what was happening, they were all surprised.

An outsider was crazily hacking at the City Lord’s son within the City Lord’s Mansion.

Is there no law left?

As they were about to step in and help, Old Zhao stopped them all, no one was allowed to interfere with Lu Chuan.

With each strike, Yuan Hun became a bloodied figure, his flesh split open and blood flowing from his body in all directions.

Yuan Hun looked at Lu Chuan and pleaded with difficulty, "Spare me... please spare me... I won’t dare to do it again."

Then, Lu Chuan thrust the sword through his chest, putting an end to his life.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sword clean.

"Take care of the body, I suppose I’ve helped you cleanse your house, aren’t you going to thank me?"

Old Zhao quickly bent over and said, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for taking action..."

Then, he hurriedly gestured to the servants nearby, "Quick, carry the body away, don’t block the way."

The people beside quickly stepped forward and carried away Yuan Hun’s corpse.

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, standing next to Lu Chuan, felt somewhat stirred and excited at this moment.

Since childhood, they had imagined the City Lord’s power as unattainable, always greeting the people from the City Lord’s Mansion with the utmost respect.

They never thought that now, they would see such an important person from the City Lord’s Mansion brought so low.

Lu Chuan looked at Old Zhao and said, "You are the caretaker of the mansion, lead the way. I want to see how the City Lord is doing now."

Hearing this, Old Zhao felt as if the stone hanging in his heart had finally touched ground and hurriedly led the way forward.

"Come, follow me this way."

Soon, he had led Lu Chuan to the study.

Ever since Yuan Gangquan was possessed by the evil spirit, his body weakened significantly, and now he could do nothing but lie in bed, even walking was an extravagant wish.

Therefore, he insisted on staying in the study so he could continue working and deal with city affairs.

Pushing open the door, Old Zhao led Lu Chuan inside.

On the sickbed, a figure in a white sleeping gown was holding an ancient book, reading intently.

He appeared to be about forty years old, but his complexion was haggard and he looked almost terminally ill.

"City Lord, I have brought the person over," said Old Zhao.

Yuan Gangquan quickly turned his head to look, and upon seeing Lu Chuan, hurriedly put on a smile, "Please, have a seat."

"Uncle Zhao, bring them a chair over here."

Old Zhao obediently did so, moving a chair over for Lu Chuan.

Once seated, Lu Chuan began to observe Yuan Gangquan attentively.

"You are Lu Chuan, right? I’ve heard about you. You killed Lu Jue and made your way up the mountain to inherit the Carefree Taoist Priest’s legacy."

"Truly remarkable, at such a young age, to possess such strength and to have secured such an opportunity, your future is immeasurable."

His tone was full of praise, as if trying to ingratiate himself with Lu Chuan.

At this point, Lu Chuan was using the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil to examine Yuan Gangquan.

Just like the last time, the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil couldn’t eliminate the evil spirit, which hid itself perfectly within its host’s body.

This was quite different from the lesser demons of the secular world; if the evil spirit didn’t show itself, his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil would not be able to kill it.

To force the evil spirit out, he would have to use the bronze sword.

"The precious sword of the Carefree Taoist Priest is now in my hands. When I descended the mountain, he instructed me to make good use of it."

"What he meant was, I should eradicate the evil spirit upon encountering it."

"That’s excellent, please rid me of the evil within my body, I really can’t stand it anymore, lying paralyzed in bed is too unbearable!"

He pleaded earnestly with Lu Chuan.

"No problem, but I must clarify the situation just now. I killed your son."

Hearing this, Yuan Gangquan suddenly froze, somewhat unable to react.

"What did you say?"

"I said I killed your son, Yuan Hun."

Yuan Gangquan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling less distressed upon hearing it was Yuan Hun.

"During the time of my illness, that good-for-nothing was always up to no good. If I weren’t ill, I would have taken him to task myself."

"Since you’ve killed him, what’s done is done, let’s move past it. At least, he can’t commit evils anymore."

Yuan Gangquan was well aware that it was probably because Yuan Hun had crossed Lu Chuan that he was killed.

It served him right; as a father, he couldn’t say much.

He had a dozen sons, losing one wasn’t too heartrending.

Besides, given the profligate type he was, his death was no great loss.

Then, Lu Chuan took out the bronze sword. He was about to approach Yuan Gangquan when the blade began to emit a glowing light.
