Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 574 - 534 Killing the Evil Spirit_1

Upon the bed, Yuan Gangquan’s eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of the bronze sword in Lu Chuan’s hand.

"Could this precious sword be the very one that the Carefree Taoist Priest possessed back then?"

Having said that, he turned to look at Caretaker Old Zhao.

Old Zhao had seen the bronze sword before and would certainly be able to recognize it.

"Young City Lord, I can assure you, this bronze sword is indeed the one with which the Carefree Taoist Priest saved your father. I remember it distinctively; there is absolutely no mistake," Old Zhao declared.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gangquan nodded slightly, smiled at Lu Chuan, and said, "Then I’ll have to trouble you, young brother. Once this is over, I will personally visit to properly thank you for your assistance."

Lu Chuan, holding the bronze sword, walked toward Yuan Gangquan, "Leave the rest to me."

The blade stretched out towards Yuan Gangquan, who immediately looked pained.

He furrowed his brows, breathing heavily, feeling an intense discomfort throughout his body as beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

His glabella gradually darkened and his lips became deathly pale, as if he were on the brink of death.

It was at this moment that Lu Chuan saw a black shadow emerge closely attached to Yuan Gangquan’s back.

Though the bronze sword had forced it out, this being seemed reluctant to leave the body, still entwining around him, unwilling to depart.

"This bastard is pretty tenacious, but no matter how tenacious, it’s useless!"

Lu Chuan swung the bronze sword and the blade traversed over the top of Yuan Gangquan’s head.

Whoosh!!

In an instant, the sword was wreathed in a bright light, which thrust toward the shadow and entirely forced it out.

A black, semi-transparent, blurry figure hovered midair, emitting a piercing, miserable scream.

"Bastard!! How dare you ruin my plans, I won’t let you off!"

After screaming, it flew towards Lu Chuan.

Gu Xiaorou quickly cautioned, "Be careful, this thing is very fast!"

Seeing this, Lu Chuan swiftly activated the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil. A beam of golden light shot out, enveloping the black shadow in front of him.

Sizzle~~

The evil spirit was repelled by the Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil, hastily retreating several meters, shielding itself with its arms, emitting a shrill wail.

"Still daring to resist, courting death!"

Lu Chuan advanced with sword in hand, gripping the hilt, and swung it at the evil spirit.

Techniques from the sword manual promptly surfaced in Lu Chuan’s mind. With a series of clean cuts, he decisively severed the limbs of the evil spirit.

The evil spirit collapsed in the corner, emitting a bitter, whining cry.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Gangquan’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.

"It’s this bastard that was parasitic in my body, making me so weak!"

His complexion improved considerably, and his previously bloodless lips gradually regained their color.

He quickly got off the bed and walked towards the evil spirit.

"Beast, what in hell did you want by lodging yourself in my body!"

"I’ll kill you!"

Anger surged through Yuan Gangquan as he pulled a dagger from his waist and moved to stab the evil spirit.

The spirit then uttered a deep, ghostly voice.

"Kill one of me, but there are thousands, millions more of me; you can’t kill them all!"

"Besides, your weapon has no effect on me!"

Having said this, it glanced somewhat nervously at Lu Chuan. From start to finish, it was only Lu Chuan that it feared.

Clenching the dagger in his hand, Yuan Gangquan gasped with rage.

A moment later, he threw the dagger in his hand onto the ground.

"Lu Chuan, you finish him off, this guy shouldn’t exist in the Kunlun Domain."

"Such an evil being’s presence in the Kunlun Domain will only gradually lead to chaos and destruction, making the future unpredictable."

Lu Chuan stepped forward, standing in front of the evil spirit, and curiously asked, "You seem to have a strong sense of self, now tell me, where did you come from?"

He clasped his head with his hands, remained silent, and completely ignored Lu Chuan.

"I’m asking you again, what relation do you have with the Lu family of the Kunlun Domain?"

He then shook his head, "Just kill me, I won’t say anything, absolutely impossible."

Lu Chuan remembered the Carefree Taoist Priest he had encountered on his way up the mountain.

He imprisoned an evil spirit, severing its limbs day by day, incessantly interrogating.

But he still couldn’t wring anything out of it.

Therefore, Lu Chuan did not feel he could accomplish anything in this short amount of time.

Since interrogation was futile, it was better to just kill the spirit.

"If you won’t talk, then we will slowly torture you!" Yuan Gangquan said viciously.

Lu Chuan, however, said directly, "Just kill him, there’s no use keeping him."

Yuan Gangquan looked at Lu Chuan, curiously asking, "This bastard obviously knows something, we can definitely force something out of him."

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, having just listened to the evil spirit’s words, also felt that this guy knew something.

"He claims he won’t say anything, doesn’t that prove he knows something? If you insist on interrogating him, you will definitely get something out, if you are lazy, give me the sword, and I will do the interrogating."

After saying this, Gu Xiaosang gave the evil spirit a wicked smile.

Gu Xiaorou asked patiently, "Is there really no possibility at all?"

Lu Chuan looked at the three people in front of him and said, "No possibility, the Carefree Taoist Priest understands evil spirits better than I do. He has imprisoned one on the mountain for a great many years, yet still, he got no result, so stop thinking about it, there’s no chance."

Hearing this, Yuan Gangquan sighed with a helpless look on his face, "If it’s truly as you say, I’m afraid we really won’t get anything out of him..."

Lu Chuan turned back and looked at the evil spirit, his Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil fixated on it, instantly burning the evil spirit to ashes.

Seeing this, Old Zhao and Yuan Gangquan both thought it strange.

Lu Chuan actually killed the evil spirit without using the bronze sword in his hand.

Even the Carefree Taoist Priest of old did not possess such Divine Skills.

Both wondered in their hearts whether Lu Chuan had received the hidden legacy of the Carefree Taoist Priest, making himself even stronger than the priest.

They were unaware of Lu Chuan’s Indestructible Golden Eye Pupil, so they were full of conjectures but couldn’t think of this possibility.

"Brother Lu Chuan, I truly cannot thank you enough; if you hadn’t come to Carefree Town, I fear I would have indeed died here."

Yuan Gangquan stepped forward, grasped Lu Chuan’s left hand with both of his, and thanked him with a bow.

The debt of saving a life is greater than heaven itself; his gratitude towards Lu Chuan was beyond words.

"Hereafter, in Carefree City, if you have any problems, you can come to me; for any troubles, you can come to me to resolve them."

"A favor for the person who saved my life is definitely something I will help with."

He clasped his hands toward Lu Chuan and said earnestly.

"It’s a promise; if you encounter evil spirits again that you can’t handle, you can still come to me."

Yuan Gangquan nodded eagerly, "No problem!"

"Now that the trouble has been taken care of, how about this—in the evening, come to my residence; I will host a celebration banquet, so we can properly celebrate, drink to our heart’s content, what do you say?"

Having recently attended a banquet, Lu Chuan was somewhat weary of them.

However, since it was the City Lord who would be hosting the banquet, there would be no harm in attending.

After the banquet’s conclusion, everyone in the city would realize the close relationship between the Gu family and the City Lord, which indeed would be a fine thing for establishing prestige.
