Chapter 65 - 65 65 Self-Blame of Ning Xin_1

65: Chapter 65 Self-Blame of Ning Xin_1 65: Chapter 65 Self-Blame of Ning Xin_1 Chern Long felt a sense of danger rising in his heart as he sensed a heaven and earth-shattering change in Lu Chuan’s aura.

“Impossible!

Even if you had a breakthrough on the battlefield, you couldn’t have become this strong.

How did you do it?”

Instinctively, he tried to withdraw his hand but was shocked to find that he could not resist at all!

Lu Chuan laughed, “Telling you wouldn’t make you understand.”

He casually struck out a palm, hitting Chern Long squarely in the chest.

Crack.

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

Chern Long was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Everyone was stunned.

“How did Lu Chuan suddenly become so strong!”

“That palm seemed light as a feather, but it shattered bones upon impact; it’s terrifying!”

“This turnaround is defying the heavens!”

…

Xiao Yun was wide-eyed and speechless, disbelieving, “How could this be?

Chern Long is a Grade 4 Grandmaster.

How could this guy suddenly become stronger during the fight?”

Ning Xin’s eyes shone brightly, and she cried out excitedly, “I knew he could do it!

Sob, sob, sob, I won’t ever do this again.

After he wins, I will definitely make it up to him.”

Lu Chuan approached Chern Long, looked down at him and said, “Were you thinking of breaking all the bones in my body earlier?”

Fear shone in Chern Long’s eyes; he knew he was completely no match for Lu Chuan now.

Without hesitation, he quickly knelt on the ground and started to plead for mercy, “I was wrong, please spare my life, I can be your underling, work for you!”

Lu Chuan sneered, “We’ve already signed the life-and-death agreement, do you think begging for mercy will help?”

He grabbed Chern Long’s arm, forcefully twisted it, and with a crack, broke it off.

Chern Long screamed in agony.

Onlookers couldn’t help covering their eyes.

Lu Chuan showed no sympathy for Chern Long and proceeded to break his remaining arm and both his legs.

Barely clinging to life, Chern Long’s eyes were fixed on Lu Chuan, “Before you kill me, can you tell me how you did it?”

Lu Chuan leaned in to his ear and whispered, “I am a Cultivator.”

Chern Long’s eyes bulged.

Lu Chuan supported Chern Long’s head and with a twist, broke his neck.

The crowd gasped in shock!

Ning Xin excitedly ran up to Lu Chuan, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with guilt, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.

I almost got you killed.

I was so foolish.

Can you forgive me?”

Lu Chuan, having difficulty breathing from the tight embrace, looked down, then quickly turned his head away, saying, “Have some decorum, everyone is watching.”

Realizing this, Ning Xin let go of Lu Chuan, hanging her head in guilt like a child who had done something wrong, “I really didn’t mean to…”

Lu Chuan smiled, “Don’t worry, I don’t blame you.

This was actually a good opportunity for me.”

Ning Xin’s eyes lit up, “Really?”

Lu Chuan nodded.

Ning Xin immediately brightened up and hugged Lu Chuan again, giving him a kiss.

Lu Chuan looked helpless and pushed her away.

People gathered around, casting admiring glances at Lu Chuan.

Qi Zhenyun said with a laugh, “Lu Chuan, I didn’t expect you to turn defeat into victory.

After today’s battle spreads, your name will be known throughout the martial arts world!”

Lu Chuan smiled and turned his gaze to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun hadn’t figured out how Chern Long had lost yet.

Seeing Lu Chuan looking at him, he shivered in fright.

Lu Chuan walked towards Xiao Yun and said coldly, “To kill me, you really plotted with great care.”

Xiao Yun swallowed and stammered, “It…

It was Chern Long who wanted to challenge you, it’s got nothing to do with me…”

Lu Chuan bellowed, “Wasn’t he the surprise you prepared for me?

Now that he’s dead, do you want to have a life-and-death match with me too?”

Xiao Yun thought of the moment Chern Long’s neck was snapped, and his body stiffened, then he suddenly fell to his knees before Lu Chuan with a thud.

“Big brother, please spare me!

Your martial skills are unparalleled, and you look so heroic.

I’m just scum, how could I dare to fight you.

Please spare my life!”

Having said this, he started kowtowing with a ‘bang bang bang’.

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Some even took out their phones to record this scene.

“To see the proud eldest son of the Xiao family being scared into kowtowing, this is indeed a first.”

“What a disgrace to the Four Young Masters of Cloud City!

If the other three young masters saw this, they would definitely kick him out of their circle.”

“Tsk tsk, as arrogant as he was earlier, now he’s just as humiliated.

We’ve truly witnessed quite the spectacle today.”

…

Listening to the crowd’s comments, Xiao Yun was seething with indignation inside, but for the sake of staying alive, he had to abandon his pride.

Lu Chuan, seeing Xiao Yun kowtowing to him, raised an eyebrow, “You seem quite skilled at that move.”

Xiao Yun gave an awkward smile.

“Scram, and if you ever think of troubling me again, you’d better weigh your options,” Lu Chuan said.

Xiao Yun nodded hastily, “Thank you, big brother, thank you!”

Afterward, he quickly got up and scurried away in a most undignified manner.

Lu Chuan sighed.

He knew that Xiao Yun only verbally admitted his wrongs, but he would undoubtedly cause trouble for him in the future.

But he couldn’t just kill Xiao Yun like he did Chern Long; without having signed a life-and-death agreement, if he laid hands on Xiao Yun, the Censorate Department would immediately arrest him.

“I’ve been getting close to Mengyao recently, and I fear I’ve attracted the attention of certain interested parties.

Xiao Yun’s targeting of me is most likely at the behest of Long Hao.”

“In that case, I might as well use Xiao Yun as a stepping stone.

Before a direct confrontation with Long Hao, I’ll practice on him first.”

Thinking so, Lu Chuan asked Qi Zhenyun, “Mr.

Qi, what does Xiao Yun’s family do?”

Qi Zhenyun said, “The Xiao family is the leading enterprise in Cloud City’s medical industry.

Their Jerry Pharmaceuticals has significant influence across the province and is quite powerful.”

Lu Chuan was startled, “Jerry Pharmaceuticals?

What’s their relation to Jerry Clinic?”

Qi Zhenyun said, “Jerry Clinic is an enterprise under Jerry Pharmaceuticals.

It’s currently in the pilot stage and, should it be successful, is set to expand throughout the province.”

Lu Chuan revealed a mocking smile, “It seems fate really does make enemies cross paths.”

With that in mind, then Jerry Clinic will be the first to go!

“By the way, Mr.

Qi, thank you for calling the bank to help me withdraw money last time,” Lu Chuan thanked Qi Zhenyun with a bow.

Qi Zhenyun laughed, “It was nothing, don’t mention it.”

Without saying anything more, Lu Chuan grabbed something to eat and then walked out with Ning Xin.

Ning Xin had become unexpectedly obedient and even showed a hint of shyness on her face.

Lu Chuan turned his head to glance at her and asked, “Have you become mute?”

Ning Xin, with her face full of embarrassment, said, “Ah, I did something wrong, didn’t I?

Now I am reflecting on it.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Didn’t I say I don’t blame you?”

Ning Xin replied, “But I still feel bad about it inside.”

Lu Chuan asked, “So how do you want to make it up to me?”

After some contemplative thought, Ning Xin said shyly to Lu Chuan, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to sleep with me…”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened, “Do you really want to sleep with me?”

Ning Xin, her face filled with shame, said, “Who wants that!

Stop talking nonsense, okay?

I can’t be that easy to get.”

Lu Chuan looked at her skeptically, “Then what do you mean?”

Ning Xin leaned closer to Lu Chuan’s ear and whispered softly, “I…

Can I help you with the five finger shuffle?”
