Chapter 752: Demon Beast’s Long Tongue!

Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Demon Beast’s Long Tongue!

Lu Chen’s face changed drastically as he hadn’t expected to be ambushed by this ancient demonic beast. Before his Spiritual Power could surge throughout his body, he was already trapped within a tremendous demonic power, and then a pungent, rotten stench hit his nostrils as the beast’s long tongue had wrapped around his waist!

Having succeeded in its attack, the ancient demonic beast let out an odd, piercing laugh as it tightly wound Lu Chen, retracting him towards its gaping mouth!

As the wind howled past his ears, Lu Chen could see the beast’s cavernous mouth and even deeper, the pitch-black throat, resembling an Abyss!

"Even Lian Qingnan at the late stage of Nascent Soul couldn’t escape, and I, with insufficient Spiritual Power, am I facing a certain death?"

A flash of unwillingness crossed Lu Chen’s mind, yet he was powerless to break free. In a flash of lightning and fire, a blaze suddenly struck from the distance!

Earth Fire!

"Master, quick!"

Earth Fire roared out of nowhere, jolting Lu Chen awake!

Quick...

Quick what?

Lu Chen suddenly snapped to attention, hope flickering in his heart as he also opened his mouth to roar, channeling all his remaining chaotic power into the spell!

"Fire Coexistence Technique!"

In an instant.

An inexplicable force of attraction emerged from Lu Chen’s body, and the velocity of the oncoming Earth Fire surged, plunging towards Lu Chen!

Flames scattered everywhere as Earth Fire rapidly expanded, enveloping Lu Chen completely and once again transforming him into a man of fire!

But the change didn’t stop there, as the Fire Coexistence Art Lu Chen had used earlier had turned him into a flaming giant three zhang tall!

The closer he got to the demonic beast, the larger his body became!

Until, right at the creature’s maw, Lu Chen’s figure was strikingly blocked from entering the gigantic mouth!

"Hahaha," Lu Chen laughed wildly, raising his enormous fiery fist and smashing it directly into the creature’s nostrils!

This demonic beast commander, shaped like a turtle-crocodile, had its nostrils positioned before the gigantic mouth. Though Lu Chen had become a fire giant, his waist was still tightly coiled by the tongue. He didn’t think to free himself but instead smashed right into it!

Boom!

Flames exploded, but even more fire sprayed into those nostrils!

The ancient beast’s body was covered in black scales, but the walls inside its nostrils were not only unprotected by scales but also extremely soft.

And this was its weakest point!

The splattered flames, also part of Earth Fire, were powerful enough to cause the beast to bellow in pain, loosening its tongue from around Lu Chen!

His eyes brightening, Lu Chen knew he’d found the beast’s weakness. There was no way he’d let it go now.

He immediately employed the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, and as the tongue quickly retracted, its speed seemed to drastically slow in his eyes. Lu Chen reached out his other hand, firmly grasped the tongue, and then threw another punch right at the tip of the beast’s nose!

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Punch after punch, Lu Chen continued to hammer his Earth Fire into the nostrils. The beast struggled madly to escape but was tightly grasped by the tongue in Lu Chen’s hand.

It could never have imagined that its attempt to entrap Lu Chen with its tongue would turn into its own restraint!

Just like a person, severing its own tongue requires enormous courage.

The more intelligent a creature is, the more this is the case.

And that tongue was coated with the same crimson, giant scales.

Even if the demonic beast wanted to sever it, it wouldn’t be easy!

Regret and reluctance filled the leader of the demonic beasts’ heart.

The other two demonic beasts, lacking in demonic power, could only watch and sigh!

Lu Chen’s fists grew stronger. This was no mysterious Spell, and it consumed little of his Spiritual Power. The recovery speed of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method far outpaced the consumption, allowing Lu Chen to potentially beat the ancient beast to death!

Once it was killed, the other two ancient beasts would be no threat!

A trace of surprise appeared in Lu Chen’s eyes. This outcome was something he had never anticipated when he first entered Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

But just as the beast’s eyes lost focus, accepting its fate, a cyan sword light suddenly struck from below. It wasn’t aimed at him but at the ancient demonic beast instead!

Lu Chen was momentarily stunned; he knew it was crafted by Qing Nan.

But why then, instead of seizing the opportunity to stab him, did she help kill the beast?

Avenging grievances with virtue was something Lu Chen felt unlikely to happen with such a person!

The sword light was incredibly fast, and with a crack, the grip in Lu Chen’s hand suddenly slackened!

Immediately after, his other punch also missed its mark.

In a moment, Lu Chen realized the truth!

Qing Nan wasn’t aiding him but was helping the ancient beast escape!

"Who would have thought..."

Lu Chen muttered to himself as he activated his mind’s eye, seeing Qing Nan’s battered form below, eyes filled with rancorous spite!

Simultaneously, he saw the ancient beast, now devoid of the courage to confront Lu Chen, plummeting desperately downwards.

Only by reaching the other two beasts could it have a chance to live!

"Had you taken the chance to flee, I might not have been able to catch up with you, but by thwarting me, you’ve also thwarted human affairs..."

Lu Chen’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he flew towards Qing Nan. While still a great distance away, he rained down a powerful punch from above!

Flames burst forth, falling from the sky like a meteor shower of fire!
