Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Take Action, Kill Yu Zhibai First!

Lu Chen held his breath, fully retracting his Spiritual Power into his body, not daring to use the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

Fortunately, his pupils naturally allowed him to see in the dark; as long as the two men weren’t too thorough in their search, they shouldn’t be able to find him in the dimness of the cave.

With Tang Tieming leading the way, it couldn’t have been better news for him.

What he wanted was to strike down Yu Zhibai with the speed of lightning, giving him no chance to use his wooden puppet as a substitute!

Ta ta ta...

The sound of footsteps grew ever closer, echoing constantly in Lu Chen’s ears.

Tang Tieming was also on high alert, straining his eyes in an attempt to see more clearly.

Lu Chen was incredibly tense, feeling his own heartbeat quicken.

Both Tang Tieming and Yu Zhibai were afraid that too much noise would alert the person inside too soon.

What lay at the bottom of the cave, they had no idea; thus, their attention was completely focused ahead, never suspecting that they had just passed by Lu Chen!

"Now’s the time!"

Lu Chen gently turned his head, fixing his stare on Yu Zhibai’s back.

But at that moment, Yu Zhibai seemed to sense something, stopping in his tracks and saying to Tang Tieming ahead, "Wait a moment, Senior Brother Tang!"

"What is it, Junior Brother Yu?"

Startled, Tang Tieming hurriedly stopped and turned around, his face full of confusion.

"I’m not sure, but I feel like there really might be someone in this cave, though I’m not certain it’s Li Yanran."

Yu Zhibai was very familiar with Li Yanran; even if she hid her Wood Spirit Power, he could clearly sense that unique Vitality Force of hers.

Lu Chen didn’t possess it, so Yu Zhibai was uncertain.

"Should we notify Senior Brother Kong?"

Tang Tieming thought for a moment, then raised the Sound Transmission Charm in his hand.

Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed sharply, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, should he strike down Yu Zhibai now...

Or should he kill Tang Tieming first!

After deliberating, he decided to kill Yu Zhibai first!

Even if Tang Tieming used the Sound Transmission Talisman, Kong Wu and the others might not be able to rush over immediately, and that was his opportunity.

After slaying both men, he would then lay in wait outside the cave!

Having made his decision, Lu Chen couldn’t act immediately; he still needed the right moment.

A moment when Yu Zhibai was distracted!

That would be when Tang Tieming activated the charm!

He shifted his gaze, focusing on Tang Tieming’s hands.

But unexpectedly, Yu Zhibai said, "Let’s not inform him for now, I might have sensed it wrong. If Senior Brother Kong comes, you’ll lose your chance at credit! Maybe I’m just mistaken."

Yu Zhibai was actually speaking the truth; he hadn’t seen anything.

But for Lu Chen, with the arrow already notched to the bowstring, there was no turning back!

And at that moment, it was also his chance to strike!

Just as Yu Zhibai was about to speak further with Tang Tieming, Lu Chen swiftly drew out his Heavenly Inquiry Spear and strode determinedly towards Yu Zhibai!

In his right hand, Spiritual Power surged fiercely, lighting up the cave with a greyish-white brilliance!

"Spear Strikes the Sky!"

Though the cave was spacious, his Spear Strikes the Sky could fill it entirely.

No matter how they responded, they had to withstand Lu Chen’s full-powered blow!

The long spear wailed like a dragon’s cry!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear seemed like a true dragon, charging towards Yu Zhibai and Tang Tieming!

"Lu Chen! It’s you!"

Feeling the familiar aura, Yu Zhibai knew all too well who it was, yet the distance was simply too close, and there was no room to dodge!

But Yu Zhibai remained unflustered in the face of danger, quickly retreating two steps, using Tang Tieming as a shield!

By the time Tang Tieming realized what was happening, an immense force struck him from behind!

At that critical moment, Yu Zhibai had used him as a human shield!

With his life on the line, Tang Tieming understood Yu Zhibai’s malicious intent all too well!

But, it was too late!

"Yu Zhibai, may you die a horrible death!"

Knowing he couldn’t withstand the attack, Tang Tieming instantly triggered the Sound Transmission Talisman he had prepared, while shouting out loud!

But immediately after, he was struck in the chest by the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and overwhelmed by the torrent of Five Elements Spiritual Power!

Taking advantage of the delay caused by the spear strike, Yu Zhibai gained a precious moment to catch his breath.

He opened his folding fan, using his own spell.

"Melting Ice Technique!"

The next moment, in front of Yu Zhibai and centered around the folding fan, a wall of ice materialized out of thin air, blocking Lu Chen’s Five Elements Spiritual Power!
