Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Forcing Lin Miaoyin to Retreat!

"Not good!"

As spiritual power struck him, Lu Chen’s heart lurched, and the Ice-Strange Fire, which had been dormant, chose this moment to awaken!

In a moment of urgency, Lu Chen frantically activated his spiritual power, drawing forth the Bingji Fan in a craze.

At this moment, he had no spells to speak of, his whole focus was on forming a thick wall of ice centering around the Bingji Fan!

"Boom!"

A spirit sound, tangible as reality, smashed heavily onto the ice wall!

The ice wall shattered with a loud crash, and the Bingji Fan too was marred with cracks!

Following that, a voice seemed to emerge from the depths of the purple mansion, ethereal and encompassing, targeting the very bottom of Lu Chen’s sea of consciousness!

Lu Chen instantly felt his body stiffen, and terror gripped his heart—if he didn’t leave now, he feared he’d be trapped here!

The thought had barely formed when Lu Chen spun around without hesitation, but as he took a step, a figure flashed by; Lin Miaoyin, playing her jade flute, had already blocked his retreat!

I was too careless!

Lu Chen clenched his teeth. He wanted to cover his ears, to prevent the spirit sound from invading.

But then he thought that the spirit sound aimed directly at the sea of consciousness, worrying that covering his ears might be useless. He raised his half-clenched fists and threw a straight punch towards Lin Miaoyin!

His fists flew like twin ghosts knocking on doors!

The fists, heavy with ice spiritual power, attacked from both sides, aiming straight for Lin Miaoyin’s cheeks!

"Giggle giggle—"

The jade flute emitted a sharp, mocking laugh, and Lin Miaoyin’s figure drifted backward. Lu Chen’s blow missed, and his body felt a slight heaviness once more.

If he delayed any longer, he feared he would lose control over his entire body and become Lin Miaoyin’s prey!

"Heavenly Inquiry Spear!"

Lu Chen could no longer care for anything else; if he wanted a chance at survival, his only option was to return to the icy grounds!

If he couldn’t land a punch, then he would use the longer Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

An inch longer, an inch stronger!

Lu Chen had never used the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in front of Lin Miaoyin, who had always believed that the Bingji Fan was his lifebound magic weapon. So when she had struck, she did not hold back at all, focusing first on shattering the Bingji Fan.

Seeing Lu Chen throw another punch, she had no sense of caution and instead revealed a scornful smirk.

Only when Lu Chen’s fist, just as before, nearly reached her, did a sudden change occur—Lin Miaoyin’s smile froze on her face!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear suddenly appeared in Lu Chen’s hand, its tip aiming straight for the jade flute at her mouth!

"You’re not Yu Zhibai!"

The abrupt turn of events caught Lin Miaoyin off guard. To prevent her lifebound magic weapon from being destroyed, she quickly removed the jade flute from her lips.

The tip of the spear missed its mark, the spirit sound halted abruptly, and in its place was Lin Miaoyin’s cry of surprise!

Feeling his body regain mobility in an instant, Lu Chen thrust forward with his spear in one fluid motion!

"Immortal Guides the Way!"

Endless spiritual power formed a ray of ice that went straight for Lin Miaojian’s chest!

"A mere Core Formation, courting death!"

It was too late for Lin Miaoyin to play the spirit sound again. She held the jade flute across her body, and with a clang, it struck the spear tip!

The burst of ice from the spear’s tip changed direction, but Lu Chen swiftly adapted, shaking the shaft of the spear and launching into the air!

"Great Roc Spreads Its Wings!"

The ice light on the spear tip carried up a wall of ice, as if to trap Lin Miaoyin right there. She stepped back twice only to see Lu Chen bring down the spear from overhead!

The change in move was so swift—it was either the profoundness of the spear technique or Lu Chen had mastered the technique to perfection!

"Young man, to think you’ve hidden your skills so deeply!"

Having confirmed that Lu Chen wasn’t Yu Zhibai, Lin Miaoyin was not surprised.

Nevertheless, Lu Chen’s reflexes and combat experience had given Lin Miaoyin a whole new perspective on him!

"If I hadn’t hidden them, I’d probably be dead by now!"

Lu Chen shouted lowly, not at all surprised that Great Roc Spreads Its Wings had no effect. His spear missed, but he used the rebound force to slice directly at Lin Miaoyin’s waist!

"Sweeping Thousands of Armies!"

Combination after combination, Lu Chen didn’t give Lin Miaoyin any chance to counter, forcing her towards the valley!

She was waiting for a chance.

Waiting for the Ice-Strange Fire to fully recover, or...

Driving Lin Miaoyin into the icy grounds!

But Lin Miaoyin was, after all, at the Nascent Soul Stage, with rich experience. Though she didn’t know Lu Chen’s next move, she realized her position was becoming increasingly difficult, and she knew that further retreat would be dangerous!

Besides, she had been to the ice lands before—the memory of You Lingang pressing her to use her blood essence to command the Blood Flute was still fresh!

Lin Miaoyin’s expression turned stern as she began to think of a countermeasure.

Soon, she reached into her ring and retrieved a talisman!
