Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Those Who Block My Path Shall Die!

For a moment, Lu Chen wasn’t sure whether it was the ninth junior sister’s spell or the terrain here that was to blame.

Since appearing in this forbidden land, Lu Chen had successively been through two different terrains, each with its own unique circumstances.

He had safely gotten through the Fire Marsh, but in the Fire Grassland, he hadn’t encountered any danger perhaps because he had turned his entire body into Fire Spirit Power.

"Could it be, that it’s also because of the Spirit Power here?"

Unable to ascertain the reason, Lu Chen could only speculate as such.

When the ninth junior sister saw Lu Chen trapped in the ground, she did not move any further, but instead, stood guard in front of Liu Ruyan. This made Lu Chen even more certain of his speculation!

She dares not come over!

Thus, it must be the terrain!

Having thought this, Lu Chen immediately used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to peer into the air!

Indeed!

The Fire Spirit Power was still quite dense, but the Earth Spirit Power was very scarce.

It was evident that the lack of Earth Spirit Power was causing the ground here to become loose and collapsible!

Then, what if I converted all the power in my body into Earth Spirit Power?

Just as this thought occurred to him, Lu Chen sensed something wrong.

From the moment he had entered this place, the Fire Spirit Power had been doubled!

If he himself lacked Fire Spirit Power, wouldn’t he then be attacked by those fire elements?

Presumably, the ninth junior sister’s reluctance to move haphazardly was for this very reason!

Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he rapidly assessed the situation.

One could say that by converting all of the Spiritual Power in his Dantian into Fire Spiritual Power, he had become one with this space.

With that logic, this collapsing ground was like a sand pit in the ordinary mortal world!

Upon this realization, Lu Chen was struck with an idea, and took out his long spear, then braced it against the sides of the pit!

Immediately, his body shook, and he stopped sinking.

But this was only a temporary solution to the immediate danger; upon noticing this, that junior sister would certainly attack him again!

Time was running out!

If the opponent used a spell, he feared that he might not be able to cope with it!

With one hand, Lu Chen strenuously hung himself on the shaft of the spear and then took out the jade bottle!

"Junior sister, be careful!"

Seemingly sensing a familiar aura, Liu Ruyan, who was in the midst of healing, suddenly opened her eyes. Upon seeing the jade bottle, the memory of being burned by Lu Chen immediately sprung to mind, and terror arose from the depths of her heart!

"Senior sister, what?"

The ninth junior sister was taken aback, and before she had time to turn around, a strong force suddenly came from behind her, pushing her towards Lu Chen!

At the same time, Lu Chen, with one hand, raised the jade bottle and poured out the Spiritual Liquid inside!

"Whoosh—"

As the Spiritual Liquid left the bottle, it immediately burst into fierce flames, and in the blink of an eye, the jade bottle appeared to turn into a Magic Artifact capable of spewing fire!

The flames quickly engulfed the ninth junior sister, but Liu Ruyan managed to escape calamity as a result!

"You, wait for me!"

Although Liu Ruyan’s injuries had recovered, she still lacked sufficient Spiritual Power and remained apprehensive about Lu Chen’s flames.

She dared not lay a hand on Lu Chen and turned around to continue fleeing forward!

Her quick reaction to use the ninth junior sister as a shield against the fire allowed her to escape unscathed!

Lu Chen could only watch Liu Ruyan escape without any way to stop her!

He found it difficult even to jump out of the sand pit at this moment!

Thus, left with no choice, Lu Chen could only deal with the ninth junior sister.

Although the ninth junior sister had no power to resist, it wasn’t so easy for him, a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, to burn her to death!

And she, having been pushed out of solid ground, her legs stuck in the earth, was no different from a wall of fire!

Watching a fire person struggle and scream before his eyes, there was not a hint of pity in Lu Chen’s eyes!

"Those who obstruct me die, you’ve met this fate because you chose the wrong sect and followed the wrong senior sister..."

Amidst Lu Chen’s murmurs, a stick of incense burned down, and the ninth junior sister was reduced to a blackened skeleton!

"Huh!"

Lu Chen exhaled a turbid breath and then put away the jade bottle.

Every bit of Spiritual Liquid used was one less bit left, and in this forbidden land, there were still many female cultivators.

From Liu Ruyan’s actions, it wasn’t hard to deduce that she would definitely seek out fellow sect junior sisters to ensure her safety!

"I won’t give you that chance!"

A flicker of light passed in Lu Chen’s eyes, and once more, with a thought, he took out his flying sword!

He hung with one hand on the spear while the other hand held the flying sword, tentatively probing the ground surface.

Finally, he found a solid spot and vigorously shook his body, swaying over to it!

Next, he pulled the spear back into his hand and began to cautiously probe the way forward with the long spear.

This time, it took him a full two hours to make his way out of the muddy area and he arrived at the foot of a mine!
