Chapter 741: Chapter 741 Lure and Kill an Ancient Beast!

As soon as the Ice-Strange Fire appeared, the temperature around swiftly dropped. A host of monstrous beasts paused slightly in their movements, all turning their gaze toward Lu Chen.

"Roar..."

A monster let out a low roar, and soon after, one of the beasts turned around and lunged toward Lu Chen!

"Just one is coming?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and quickly understood the reason behind this.

Since he hadn’t revealed the aura of his Nascent Soul, the leader of the ancient demonic beasts naturally thought he might just be a cultivator who could command the Ice-Strange Fire.

In plain terms, they had underestimated Lu Chen!

"If they all swarmed me, I wouldn’t stand a chance. Tricking one to come over is already a win!"

Lu Chen made a decisive decision, immediately formulated a plan in his mind, retracted his Spiritual Power, took up the Ice-Strange Fire, and started running down the hill.

"Roar—"

The one in pursuit was a beast resembling a leopard-tiger. As Lu Chen fled, its line of sight was blocked by the slope, naturally prompting it to let out an urgent roar and hasten its pace.

Lu Chen sneered inwardly as he gripped the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in his hand. Under his Imperial Command, the Ice-Strange Fire was gathered into the body of the spear!

He didn’t escape too far, as it was enough to have the slope shield him from the sight of the other monstrous beasts.

He raised the spear slightly, with the tip pointing toward the top of the hill.

Hearing the footsteps drawing near and feeling the timing was about right, he whispered in his heart, "Spear Spirit, extend!"

Whoosh—

The sound of piercing the air echoed as the Heavenly Inquiry Spear suddenly extended, its tip stretching straight toward the top of the slope. In just the blink of an eye, the tip was ready.

At that moment,

The leopard-tiger beast suddenly leaped up, landing right where the spear thrust forward!

Lu Chen watched intently. He didn’t need to actively employ the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique anymore. With a slight adjustment of the spear’s direction, the beast seemingly rammed its soft underbelly onto the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

Pu’ch!

The greatest trait of ancient demonic beasts was that they were covered in scales. The moment the leopard-tiger beast charged, Lu Chen had already spotted its weakness: the underbelly!

No sooner had the spear entered its belly than Lu Chen’s thoughts shifted, and the Chaos Spirit Power, passing through the shaft of the spear, was completely transformed into Ice Spiritual Power!

The leopard-tiger beast couldn’t even let out a miserable howl before it was frozen by Lu Chen into a statuesque ice sculpture!

Then, the Ice-Strange Fire also rose from inside the spear, burning directly into the monster’s body and freezing the demon pill!

The source of demonic power now frozen, the beast had no strength to struggle. Lu Chen’s Ice Spiritual Power became even more solid until the Ice-Strange Fire burned away the demon soul hidden within the demon pill, leaving the beast utterly lifeless!

And Lu Chen hadn’t given away too much of a trace of his Spiritual Power.

"Hmph!"

Everything went as Lu Chen had anticipated. He retrieved the Heavenly Inquiry Spear, and the ice sculpture began to tumble down from the top of the slope. Lu Chen channeled the chaotic power within him, gently supporting the falling ice sculpture and placing it at the bottom of the valley on this side, making as little noise as possible to avoid alarming the group of monsters.

After he had done all this, he climbed the hill again, but this time, he took a different direction.

This time, he didn’t use the Ice-Strange Fire, but summoned his own Earth Fire!

Feeling the presence of the flames, the lead monstrous beast also looked toward Lu Chen, a hint of confusion appearing in its eyes.

The ancient demonic beast, with an intelligence comparable to humans, was ironically outwitted by its own cunning.

Facing a distinctly different flame and Lu Chen not revealing any Spiritual Power, the leading monster thought that someone had come to aid Qingyun Sect.

"Roar—"

It let out another low roar, and another beast burst out from the herd, racing toward the direction of Lu Chen!

Lu Chen watched carefully.

This beast had but one eye and six legs on its belly, with an elongated tail full of barbs dragging behind it.

It was slower than the leopard-tiger and didn’t seem very agile, but it appeared to have no obvious weakness on its body.

The previous method definitely wouldn’t work.

The tip of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear was sharp indeed.

But whether it could pierce the scale of this monster, Lu Chen himself wasn’t sure.

"Then let’s draw it even further away!"

Even though Lu Chen was driven by a grand cause at this moment, his own safety was also a priority.

He quickly ran down the slope, and when the beast appeared at the top, confirming that it had seen him, he then ran towards a direction away from Qingyun Sect.

But unexpectedly,

The beast’s solitary eye suddenly shot out a Demon Light, aiming straight at Lu Chen’s back!

The Demon Light arrived in the blink of an eye, startling Lu Chen into a cold sweat, and while he was also wary of revealing his presence, he had to tumble to the side in a roll!

"Roar—"

At that moment, the beast let out a thunderous roar, leaping from the top of the hill and pouncing toward Lu Chen!
