Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Battle with Nian Ciyun in the Ice Land!

Both of them had their own schemes, yet regarding their immediate goal, they were united. Thus, compared to Li Mo and Chu Zhongtian, their relationship seemed somewhat more solid.

Nian Ciyun recognized Ao Yu’s Innate Taoist Body and, having personally experienced such marvelous techniques, she couldn’t help but think that the Earth Fire might be completely suppressed. It seemed that Earth Fire’s opponent, if not dead, was probably close to it.

But where would she know that Lu Chen was not only unharmed but without a single scratch!

After using ice power to suppress the Earth Fire, he no longer exerted Spiritual Power from his body, as his Sky-piercing Spiritual Power had almost fully restored his Spiritual Power.

Moreover, Lu Chen, wielding the long spear under Imperial Command, was as if he were in the interstitial space of the ice power, creating an independent area.

With Heart’s Eye active, Nian Ciyun was instantly discovered as soon as she entered the range of the pit.

"Want to snatch the treasure?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and gripped the Hateful Heaven Spear tightly. Earlier, when Ciyun had identified herself, Lu Chen was already on guard.

Who would have expected her to dare to come here alone?

Furthermore, recalling the icy terrain here, Lu Chen speculated in his mind that it must be a coordinated action between him and North Dragon Sect’s Ao Yu!

"It seems this woman is not weak; born from a second-tier sect, yet she joins such a cultivator and even dares to come here by herself!"

Lu Chen glanced back at the Earth Fire which, apart from the faint glow of flames, revealed the Taoist platform as slender as a finger.

This indicated that the Earth Fire could go out at any moment.

If he got entangled with Nian Ciyun and with Ao Yu’s assistance, he might waste a lot of time. By the time the Earth Fire was within his grasp, it could quickly slip away—wouldn’t he lose big then?

Lu Chen originally intended to ambush here and surprise the approaching Nian Ciyun.

However, due to the pressing situation, he had to give up the idea, planning to seize the Earth Fire first while the other party was unfamiliar with this icy land!

The treasures that caught my eye, Lu Chen’s eyes, and even more those that I took out from within my Dantian, would I let them go to you?

Lu Chen made a snap decision and quickly ran towards the Earth Fire.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Spiritual Power moved on Lu Chen’s body, it was detected by Nian Ciyun. The Xuanji Movement Technique was extremely profound. Under Lu Chen’s Heart’s Eye, he saw her dodging and weaving like a fluttering peach blossom, already rushing right behind him!

"So fast!"

Lu Chen was also startled. He paused his step and swung the Heavenly Inquiry Spear behind him!

"Immediate spear return!"

This was also a move from the Hateful Heaven Spear Technique, used for abrupt stopping and killing, with a posture as upright as a rearing warhorse, an imposing presence, and the center of gravity fully within the feet!

The force wasn’t great, but it won by making the opponent run into it!

Yet again, the Xuanji Movement Technique defied Lu Chen’s expectations. With a graceful twist of her body, Nian Ciyun dodged like a swift snake, her face peach blossom-like as she reached for Lu Chen’s face!

At that moment, Lu Chen felt as though he saw a sea of peach blossoms covering his single effective eye!

"Giggle giggle, my fellow Daoist really doesn’t appreciate romance. This little lady came to help you! Now that you can’t see with this eye either, let’s see how you’re going to hurt me," Nian Ciyun chuckled, for she had noticed the Earth Fire about to extinguish upon finding Lu Chen. Not wanting to get entangled with him, she temporarily blinded him so she could seize the Earth Fire first and let the fiery spear recognize her as its master.

But how could she know that Lu Chen had long since stopped relying on his eyes to see?

This was precisely the purpose of Heart’s Eye!

If Nian Ciyun hadn’t used this spell and had instead directly attacked Lu Chen, she might have achieved a surprising effect by depleting Lu Chen’s Spiritual Power.

But one move can define the game in a cultivators’ duel, and sometimes it’s a matter of a single breath!

Lu Chen was shocked for a moment before he snapped out of his relief, realizing that Nian Ciyun intended to bypass him to snatch the Taoist platform, the long spear, and the Earth Fire. Naturally, Lu Chen was not going to let her wish come true!

He twisted his body back and swept the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in passing!

"Sweeping Thousands of Armies!"

His mighty Spiritual Power surged directly towards Nian Ciyun’s slender waist!

"This isn’t good!"

Nian Ciyun didn’t expect Lu Chen to react so swiftly, halting her steps while simultaneously bending down!

With her hands swiftly supporting herself on the ground, she just barely dodged the thrust of the spear. Then using her hands for leverage, her legs swept upward, delivering a forceful and heavy kick aimed for Lu Chen’s chin!

"Let’s see how you dodge this one!"

Nian Ciyun’s pretty face frosted over, like peach blossoms in early spring that were blooming yet facing the chill of spring snow!

With her silent and swift legs, she seemed to see Lu Chen’s chin shatter, envisioning his face smeared with blood...
