Chapter 496: Chapter 496: The Sneak Attack Fails, Lu Chen Changes Tactics!

"Kong Wu... Humph, too clever for his own good!"

Lu Chen slowed his pace precisely because he had spotted Kong Wu.

He had thought that Kong Wu could also see in the dark, but seeing that he made no moves, Lu Chen knew at once.

A person with an Innate Taoist Body like Kong Wu would surely have an extremely acute spiritual sense.

As for Pupil Skill...

It was an exceedingly rare technique in the Cultivation World.

And because Pupil Skill could sometimes be useless, most people would not cultivate it.

By the Core Formation Stage, the role of Spiritual Sense would greatly increase, so ordinary cultivators would not practice Pupil Skill.

Realizing this, Lu Chen had a measure of certainty—if Kong Wu was thoroughly prepared, Lu Chen would truly have no means.

But now...

He could turn the tables on Kong Wu!

He tightly gripped the Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

Pretending not to notice anything.

For such stealthy attacks, Lu Chen was well-practiced, climbing from the bottom to the top, he had always won against stronger opponents despite his own weaknesses.

And facing Kong Wu of the same realm, Lu Chen suddenly felt full of confidence!

However, he also knew that he must not take anything lightly!

Compared to Qin Yaotiao, Kong Wu, equally a Taoist Body, possessed a stronger Body of Purity and, being from Haotian Sect, had far more experience than Qin Yaotiao.

From a hundred steps to eighty.

To sixty-five.

Fifty steps.

Lu Chen’s heart had reached his throat as well.

But he dared not be the least bit negligent, his footsteps were as heavy as before, so as not to let Kong Wu detect anything.

Thirty steps.

Twenty steps.

Ten steps.

Lu Chen could already see a trace of alarm in Kong Wu’s eyes, clearly, he was about to make a move!

Under the Heart’s Eye, Kong Wu’s movements were fully in his view.

Seeing the slight movement of his fingers, Lu Chen immediately understood that Kong Wu wanted to use his hand’s Cultivation Technique!

Palm?

Fist?

Or finger?

Lu Chen did not know.

But he knew.

Seven steps away, the spear is faster!

Now was the best moment.

He suddenly strode forward, his spear thrusting out in front!

This time, he used a rarely employed spear technique.

Spirit Snake Emerges from the Cave!

The snake, always hunting with stealth,

Remains still until it strikes with surprising force!

And in this darkness, it suited the nature of the snake even better, Lu Chen’s Spiritual Power flowed silently, and his spear’s tip aimed straight for Kong Wu’s chest!

"No good!"

But Kong Wu, after all, possessed an Innate Taoist Body, and even though there was not a trace of Spiritual Power on Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear, his forceful stride surged with Spiritual Power!

Kong Wu immediately sensed something and transformed his palm into a claw, using his spiritual sense to grab towards the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"Lu Chen, you actually discovered me!"

Kong Wu was shocked, but that was all!

With just the acuity of his spiritual sense, his hand was incredibly precise.

Just as he was about to seize the shaft of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, a mighty force transmitted through his palm!

He had grabbed hold of it.

But in his urgency, he failed to feel the overwhelming Spiritual Power within the spear, a misstep!

The spear’s shaft only slowed for a moment before continuing towards his chest!

Yet Kong Wu was not an easy opponent to match, his footsteps swiftly creating several afterimages!

"Heartless Step Technique!"

Lu Chen only saw a residual image, and Kong Wu’s figure was already at his side!

Had his Heart’s Eye not been Fully Open, Lu Chen wouldn’t have known where Kong Wu had gone!

With his first thrust foiled, he shifted his back foot to the side, quickly changing spear techniques!

"Sweeping Thousands of Armies!"

If stealth had failed, then Lu Chen would confront him openly!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear suddenly flared with light!

This strike, he used the firepower of Spiritual Fire!

In the cramped cave, no matter how mystical Kong Wu’s movement technique was, it would still be constrained by the terrain!

Let’s see how you dodge this!

The light on the Heavenly Inquiry Spear flared intensely!

Through his Heart’s Eye, Lu Chen could see fright plastered over Kong Wu’s face!
