Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Turning the Tables, Who Lives and Who Dies!
Lu Chen just stood quietly in the midst of the Fire Swamp, waiting for Liu Ruyan to come over.
Besides not being at the same realm as Liu Ruyan, there was an even more important point— he did not know how many more tricks Liu Ruyan still had up her sleeve.
He had become a cultivator, but his experience was far less than Liu Ruyan’s.
Under such circumstances, he could only choose a more foolproof method!
A sneak attack!
"It’s hard to say when this jade bottle will be full!"
Delay could lead to change, and Lu Chen did not want to leave the timing of his move to the uncertain jade bottle.
After pondering for a moment, he decided to make his move after his vibrational injuries were completely healed.
At the same time, he wanted to ensure a sure hit with one strike!
As his injuries gradually healed, Liu Ruyan was also slowly approaching the jade bottle.
However, Liu Ruyan was very cautious, not because she was afraid of Lu Chen, but because she feared that if her body even slightly emerged from the field, the Spiritual Liquid would rush out and harm her.
It was this caution that gave Lu Chen no opportunity to strike for the time being.
Fortunately, Lu Chen’s patience was sufficient.
But waiting indefinitely was not an option.
"Or, should I make a feint first to test her?"
Feeling that his body was almost fully recovered, Lu Chen carefully grasped the spear and then gently shook it.
"Whoosh—"
Upon the Fire Swamp surface, ripples immediately appeared, capturing Liu Ruyan’s attention.
"Are there still beasts lurking beneath?"
Liu Ruyan looked alert and retreated slightly.
Contrary to his intentions, Lu Chen was startled by the wariness of cultivators which surpassed his expectations.
"This won’t do!"
Lu Chen immediately furrowed his brow, knowing that if she moved too far away, the plan he had just thought of would fall through!
But after much thought, he still had no better idea and simply decided to go all in!
So, Lu Chen tightened his grip on the spear and gave it another shake.
Whoosh—
Whoosh—
The Fire Spirit Liquid was stirred, causing ripples to scatter, but beyond that, nothing unusual occurred.
After a while, although Liu Ruyan grew suspicious, she gradually let her guard down and slowly moved back again.
Lu Chen knew he must not miss this opportunity. If Liu Ruyan became wary again, it would be difficult for him to act.
So, he gripped the spear with one hand and continued to shake it while using the momentum to suddenly shoot upwards, reaching out to grab Liu Ruyan’s arm!
His goal was to drag Liu Ruyan into the Fire Swamp!
He wasn’t affected by the Fire Swamp, but Liu Ruyan’s caution indicated she was at a major disadvantage there!
The suddenness of Lu Chen’s attack startled Liu Ruyan!
And when she saw that the sneak attacker was Lu Chen, Liu Ruyan was even more shocked. How could Lu Chen hide within this terrifying Fire Swamp for so long?
Either this boy had some mysterious technique, or he possessed a magical protective artifact!
"You think you can, you brat?"
Seeing Lu Chen reaching for her, Liu Ruyan decided to go along with it, pretending not to notice, while preparing her whole body. The moment Lu Chen dared to grab her, she would also pull him out!
Then, she would crush him with one palm and search his body!
As both had their own calculations, Lu Chen successfully grabbed Liu Ruyan, but before he could exert any force, she fiercely grabbed his other hand!
Suddenly, like a fish on a hook, Lu Chen was dragged out of the Fire Swamp forcefully!
Lu Chen’s face changed dramatically; he had not expected the opponent’s strength to be so great.
This was where he misjudged the strength of a cultivator!
Although Liu Ruyan looked like a weak woman, she was a cultivator!
A cultivator in the later stages of Qi Refinement, whose Spiritual Power far surpassed Lu Chen’s!
"If she drags me up there, I’ll be dead for sure!"
Lu Chen was horrified, feeling his hand grasped as if by an iron vice. If he didn’t break free now, there would be no chance later!
But the disparity in strength made it nearly impossible for him to resist.
In his struggle, Lu Chen’s peripheral vision caught sight of the jade bottle embedded in the field.
On impulse, his other hand swiftly reached out and grabbed the bottle!
"Thinking of treasures even at death’s door!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, but as her words fell, she saw Lu Chen aiming the mouth of the bottle at her!
A wave of scorching heat surged from the mouth of the bottle!
Could this be...
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan’s expression changed drastically. She wanted to flee but was unable to do so!
Because Lu Chen’s other hand was also tightly grabbing her!
