Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 202 - 196: Do you think I would give you that chance?_1

Chapter 202: Chapter 196: Do you think I would give you that chance?_1

A spiritual dragon, composed of Spiritual Power, appeared around Lu Chuan, exuding terrifying majesty from every part of it; this was the lethal manifestation of the Azure Dragon Great Array Formation.

"Die!"

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan and the divine dragon charged towards Wu Gong together.

At this moment, Wu Gong was covered in cold sweat on his forehead. He felt his demonic power severely suppressed within his body, moving sluggishly. Even the urge to kneel in submission surfaced in his mind.

However, he still possessed the strength of the Transcendent Realm Level 9 and was not like the Venom Scorpion, who had submitted to Lu Chuan without any resistance.

Clenching his teeth, he used all his strength to fend off the attacks from Lu Chuan and the divine dragon.

With his current condition, he could only exert about thirty percent of his actual strength, which was roughly equivalent to that of a skillful expert of the Transcendent Realm Level 7.

The forces of both sides erupted, causing a thunderous rumble to resound.

This energy scattered in all directions but did not cause any harm to the medical hall, as it was all absorbed by the defensive barrier formed by the Azure Dragon Great Array Formation.

Lu Chuan focused on Wu Gong, aware that even though his opponent was suppressed by the Demon Suppression Pagoda and unable to exert his normal strength, he was still not easy to deal with.

Only with the assistance of the divine dragon formed by the Azure Dragon Great Array Formation was he barely able to contend with his opponent.

He didn’t hesitate to make another move against Wu Gong.

The two fought for over a hundred rounds.

Lu Chuan pulled out all the stops, thoroughly enjoying the battle with Wu Gong.

This was the most exhilarating fight he had experienced since reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Due to the inherent gap between Cultivators and Martial Artists, when Lu Chuan fought others, he either couldn’t win, or he utterly crushed his opponents. Rarely was he able to immerse himself completely in a fight like this.

And undergoing a battle like this one, was extremely beneficial for his advancement in realm.

Wu Gong, on the other hand, although able to cope with Lu Chuan’s attacks, was suffering immensely from the domain pressure released by the Demon Suppression Pagoda. He had never felt as stifled as he did today.

Under normal circumstances, he could have resolved Lu Chuan with a mere lift of his hand, but now he had to focus all his mind because under the oppression of the Demon Suppression Pagoda’s domain, a single lapse in concentration could result in Lu Chuan inflicting severe injuries on him.

The two exchanged another several dozen moves.

Under the immense psychological pressure, Wu Gong finally revealed a flaw.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Chuan struck out fiercely with a palm.

"Heavenly Palm of Imprisonment!"

Wu Gong couldn’t defend against it, taking the palm to his chest. His body flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood—clearly seriously injured.

He looked at Lu Chuan with a sullen expression, his eyes gradually becoming more ferocious, as if ready to devour someone.

Seeing Wu Gong seriously injured, Lu Chuan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Under the oppression of the Demon Suppression Pagoda against the Demon Tribe, killing Wu Gong would be very easy.

He glanced at Wu Gong and asked with a smile, "Do you have any last words you wish to say?"

Wu Gong’s face was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really think, just because I’m seriously injured, you have a chance to kill me?"

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Do you think you still have a chance to live?"

Wu Gong snorted coldly and said, "Since you’re pressing me this hard, I might as well let you witness the methods of my Demon Tribe!"

"Usually, after we of the Demon Tribe transform, we do not reveal our true bodies unless pushed to the brink because doing so would let our inner beast overcome our rationality, turning us into beings that know only slaughter for a time. However, to take you down today, I can’t worry about that!"

After finishing his words, his aura began to burst forth, and the demonic power around him instantly increased several times.

Behind him, the phantom of a giant centipede began to emerge and gradually solidified, slowly transitioning towards physical form.

Lu Chuan was alarmed at the sight of this centipede phantom; he had never seen such a massive centipede in his life.

Of course, what was more pressing was the sense of oppression radiating from the centipede phantom that quickened his heartbeat.

He had a premonition that if this centipede fully materialized, even with the Demon Suppression Pagoda’s suppression, he would undoubtedly die today!

Wu Gong, seeing Lu Chuan’s reaction, showed a ferocious smile, "How about that, scared yet?"

"Your formation may be profound, and your strength has far exceeded my expectations, but as long as I release my true form, you will have absolutely no chance of survival today!"

"Kid, you’d better kneel and beg for mercy. If you can amuse me, I might even grant you a swift death. Otherwise, just wait to be tormented to death by me, little by little!"

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, his face displaying a mocking smile.

Wu Gong saw Lu Chuan laughing and frowned, "What’s so funny at the brink of death!"

Lu Chuan said with a smile, "If you were to release your true form, I might indeed die by your hands today."

"But do you think I’d give you that chance?"

No sooner had he spoken than a streak of white light appeared, instantly piercing through Wu Gong’s brow.

Wu Gong was about to say something more but abruptly, his eyes widened in horror, as if he had seen something unbelievable, filled with terror.

Immediately after, his gaze became vacant, and the centipede phantom behind him shattered with a loud crash, failing to fully take shape.

Lu Chuan held the flying sword that had emerged from the Sword Nourishing Gourd, approached Wu Gong, and poked him.

Wu Gong instantly slumped to the ground, lifeless.

After confirming Wu Gong was dead, Lu Chuan said indifferently, "Although being in the Transcendent Realm Level 9 is impressive, I never said I lacked means to deal with a Transcendent Realm Level 9. You’ve overestimated yourself."

Upon finishing, he manipulated the flying sword over Wu Gong’s body, and soon enough, a peanut-sized round pill was produced.

This object was Wu Gong’s Demon Core!

"At last, I can refine the 9th Cycle Yang Restoration Pill," Lu Chuan remarked with a hint of emotion, before storing Wu Gong’s body inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

...

Censorate Department.

Inside Yu Qingfeng’s office.

Yu Qingfeng paced back and forth while staring at Wu Gong’s body thrown on the floor.

Every few steps, he would stop and look at Lu Chuan, who was sitting on a sofa drinking tea, staring incredulously for a moment before continuing his pacing, then staring at Lu Chuan again.

This process went on for about twenty minutes.

After finishing his tea, Lu Chuan said somewhat helplessly to Yu Qingfeng, "Senior, you’ve been looking at me for so long, what’s there to see? I know I’m handsome, but even that can’t withstand your gazing."

Yu Qingfeng said with a moved expression, "I simply can’t figure out how you managed to kill the Leader of the Secret Kill House, a person who even the Censorate Department Headquarters finds to be a headache!"

"He was not only a Transcendent Realm Level 9 skillful expert, but also amongst the most formidable in the Transcendent Realm Level 9, very terrifying. One time, the Headquarters dispatched three Transcendent Realm Level 9 experts to hunt him down, and yet he managed to escape."

"And now, he has been killed by you. If his body weren’t right here, I would never believe that you could kill him."

Lu Chuan, smiling, said, "In fact, killing him was a fluke. If it were a normal situation, facing a Transcendent Realm Level 9 expert, I would have no choice but to flee. But Wu Gong, he ran into my ambush, so killing him was a bit easier."

Curiosity flooded Yu Qingfeng’s face as he asked, "What’s different about him? And what method did you use to kill an expert of the Transcendent Realm Level 9?"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly and said, "That’s a secret."

Yu Qingfeng didn’t press further, after all, everyone has their secrets, and to do so would seem impolite.

No matter how Lu Chuan did it, the fact that he killed the Leader of the Secret Kill House was something to be celebrated throughout the martial arts world.

With no Leader, the Secret Kill House would surely struggle to amount to anything, equating to the removal of a malignant tumor.

The Censorate Department always maintains friendly relations with those who uphold justice despite harboring many secrets, since only with more such individuals can the martial arts world remain stable.

Lu Chuan shifted the conversation to Wu Gong, asking, "If Senior Yu were to submit the Leader of the Secret Kill House, wouldn’t that mean receiving a huge amount of credit?"

Yu Qingfeng nodded and said, "Indeed, if I submit Wu Gong, the Headquarters will give me a very large reward. I might even be directly transferred to the Headquarters and enjoy its resources. If that happens, not only would my position rise, but my strength could greatly increase as well."

"And not just for me, you would also receive significant benefits."

Lu Chuan laughed and said, "As for other benefits, I’d rather not, but I wonder if Senior Yu could help me request a Dragon’s Whiskers Herb from your Headquarters?"

Yu Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Dragon’s Whiskers Herb is quite rare, but I seem to recall hearing that it can be found in the Headquarters’ resource vault. I’ll ask for you and apply on your behalf if they have it."

Lu Chuan immediately bowed his hands in gratitude, "Then I thank Senior Yu immensely."

Yu Qingfeng said with a smile, "What are you thanking me for? It’s I who should thank you. I’ve done nothing, yet I’m reaping such great rewards. It’s like something out of a dream."

"If it weren’t for my daughter being such a disgrace, I would marry her off to you in gratitude for your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly said, "Senior Yu, don’t joke about that. If you’re serious, I’ll take my family and leave Cloud City this instant, never to return."

Yu Qingfeng burst into laughter and said, "Rest easy, I’m just fooling around. If you don’t mind, you could wait another eighteen years. I’ve got another child on the way thanks to the medicine you prescribed. If it’s a girl, tell me what type you like, and I’ll raise her according to your standards, then get her married to you in eighteen years, how about that?"

Lu Chuan, caught between laughter and tears, said, "No, no, no, I can’t wait that many years."

After a bit of lighthearted banter, Lu Chuan hurried back to the medical clinic to refine the 9th Cycle Yang Restoration Pill for Su Ming.

Yu Qingfeng submitted Wu Gong’s body to the Headquarters and checked their resource vault, confirming the presence of a Dragon’s Whiskers Herb.

This herb was quite rare, so ordinary people had no right to use it, not even by exchanging contribution points.

Fortunately, killing the Leader of the Secret Kill House was considered a grand merit, so the Censorate Department Headquarters approved the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb for Lu Chuan.

That day, Yu Qingfeng received the Dragon’s Whiskers Herb delivered by the Headquarters and was overjoyed, planning to inform Lu Chuan.

Just then, however, an unwelcome group visited his office.

"Lord Yu, where is that Dragon’s Whiskers Herb? Please, you must give it to me. Such a rare herb would be wasted on that Lu Chuan!"
