Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Nian Ciyun’s Miscalculation!

Had Lu Chen not learned the Heart Eye, this strike would have likely fulfilled Nian Ciyun’s desire.

These legs were not only utterly unexpected but also silent and incredibly fast, hidden in a blind spot of the vision!

Bang!

A brittle sound echoed.

Nian Ciyun’s leg kicked against something extremely hard.

Her expression changed from surprise to pain!

It was the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

In a critical moment, Lu Chen once again presented his spear horizontally for defense, demonstrating the Strength that Pulls Rivers and Mountains!

However, originally, the Strength that Pulls Rivers and Mountains was meant to block attacks from above, but Lu Chen ingeniously adapted it to the situation, and it proved surprisingly effective!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear was refined from an entire precipice of black iron that spanned over ten Zhang in height, not only forged by Lu Chen himself but also further refined by Zhu Chongjiu with the Earth Fire!

Ordinary people couldn’t see through this, and Nian Ciyun was no exception!

Force is reciprocal, she wanted to shatter Lu Chen’s jaw with her kick, but instead, all her force rebounded onto her own leg!

"Crack—"

A faint snapping sound was Nian Ciyun’s calf bone fracturing!

"You can still see!"

She cried out in surprise, finally realizing what had happened!

If Lu Chen’s counterattack was an instinctual reaction, such a sophisticated defensive maneuver spoke volumes!

"I never said I couldn’t see!"

Lu Chen sneered cold-heartedly, pushed his hands down, causing Nian Ciyun to crash heavily onto the icy surface, then kicked her firmly, sending her flying away.

With both legs injured, Nian Ciyun could no longer use the mysterious Xuanji Movement Technique. Lu Chen didn’t desire her death but realized that the spiritual power fluctuations from their fight caused the last flame of the Earth Fire to flicker precariously!

It was too late!

Lu Chen stepped forward, feeling that even reaching out to snatch it wouldn’t be fast enough. Desperate, he swiftly converted the spiritual power within his body into Fire Spiritual Power and then, through the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, transformed these into Spiritual Liquid!

He wanted to try and see if the Earth Fire could absorb the Fire Spirit Liquid, thereby buying more time!

Whoosh—

The Fire Spirit Liquid was released, and swiftly the surrounding ice started to melt.

Turning to water, it then surged back towards the Fire Spirit Liquid!

Lu Chen’s face changed; he had never considered this possibility.

What surprised him even more was that the sudden temperature change also alerted Ao Yu!

Ao Yu might not have clearly perceived the spiritual power oscillations during the previous combat, as Lu Chen was not primarily using Water Spirit Power, and Nian Ciyun herself lacked a Water Spirit Root.

However, seeing the ice he had condensed with his Mysterious Ice Dao Body melting, in addition to the fire power different from the Earth Fire, he realized that something must have gone awry at the bottom of the pit!

"Nian Ciyun can’t have an accident. If he gets into trouble, I won’t have anyone to protect me during my period of weakness!"

At this moment, the two of them were in the same boat.

Ao Yu had to take advantage of his remaining strength to rescue Nian Ciyun while he still could.

Ao Yu let out a cold shout, as the extreme cold quickly began to crystallize toward Lu Chen’s location.

At the same time, the thousands of ice blades on the periphery slowly flew over!

"Don’t even think about it!"

Lu Chen, seeing this with the Heart Eye, also turned chill, but since all the Five Elements Spiritual Power in his body had already been converted into Fire Spiritual Power, he simply turned around and took his stance with his spear. He was like a sentinel at a pass, unassailable by tens of thousands!

The Earth Fire might go out at any moment, and his use of Fire Spirit Liquid was a desperate measure.

If the temperature dropped further, and more ice power struck, he feared all his efforts would have been in vain!

Would he let the Earth Fire, within his easy reach, be ruined by someone else?

By now, the initially released Fire Spirit Liquid had completely enveloped both the Earth Fire and the long spear on the Daoist platform, stabilizing the Earth Fire significantly. Only then did Lu Chen put aside his worries and focused entirely on the incoming ice blades!

These ice blades, originally linked into a layer of ice, were not moving quickly at this point, giving Lu Chen a much-needed chance to catch his breath.

He stomped fiercely on the ground with his right foot, and the ice beneath cracked open with a cacophony of snaps.

Immediately after, Lu Chen leveraged this and thrust the Heavenly Inquiry Spear forward!

"Silver Spear Like Rain!"

Innumerable sparks burst from the tip of the spear, transforming into streaks of spear shadows, clashing with the thousands of ice blades!
