Chapter 84 Despair!

Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Despair!

"Hahaha, using the spear shaft to strike me while holding the spear tip? Kid, have you been scared silly by me?"

Old Xu, who had followed close behind, couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he saw this.

But before the laughter died, his expression suddenly became stern!

Little did he know, Lu Chen, in this desperate situation, could only make a last stand!

He employed the Great Roc Spreads Its Wings technique with all his Fire Spiritual Power!

"Whoosh!"

Before the shaft of the spear even came down, a blaze of firelight burst forth!

The dark entrance of the abyss shone as bright as day!

Accustomed to the darkness, Old Xu was instantly blinded by the light. He instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes, only to realize that something was amiss!

Too late!

The extreme heat, carrying an unstoppable force, thundered down upon his head!

"Bang!"

The massive force smashed him heavily towards the ground!

He howled in agony, trying to rise, but Lu Chen, having mastered the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to perfection, did not hesitate after spreading his wings. He angled the spear downwards, planting the shaft on the ground and driving it towards Old Xu’s waist!

Last-minute weapon honing!

Sizzle—

The entire spear was engulfed in flames!

Originally, this technique would have sparked tiny fires on the hard stone spear.

But now, the spear was like a fiery dragon indeed!

Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass remained—it spread like wildfire across fields!

Seeing the approaching flames, Old Xu, ignoring the searing pain of his burns, hastily rolled to the side!

He had completely forgotten that he was a Martial Artist of the Visceral Refinement Realm, capable of externalizing his spiritual power!

Lu Chen’s spear technique far surpassed his understanding of what an ordinary martial artist was capable of!

Lu Chen snorted coldly and swept the spear across with a backhanded strike!

The whistle of the wind rose, and so did the blaze!

With a whoosh, this move, Sweeping Thousands of Armies, seemed to form a horizontal wall of fire!

Old Xu dodged it by leveraging the reaction force, but he couldn’t escape the spreading flames!

This was Fire Spiritual Power!

Not just any ordinary flame!

Merely a touch was like bone-corroding poison. Old Xu frantically slapped the flames on his body, but couldn’t extinguish them!

Because of this, he lost the last chance to dodge!

"Spear Strikes... Like a Dragon!"

Seeing the spear transform into a fiery dragon, while his opponent completely lost his composure, standing still trying to put out the flames on his body, Lu Chen swiftly employed Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!

"Roar!"

Lu Chen thought he heard a dragon’s roar somewhere far away!

He didn’t know if he was imagining it!

But when he saw the Heavenly Inquiry Spear momentarily become a fire dragon, he himself was shocked to a standstill!

This...

Was it truly Spear Strikes Like a Dragon?

The firelight surged forward, and Lu Chen watched dumbfounded as the fire dragon opened its large jaws, revealing fiery red fangs, and then swallowed Old Xu whole!

"Ahh!!!"

The scream echoed from the flames throughout the entire abyss...

Lu Chen gasped for breath, finally realizing how powerful the Heavenly Inquiry Spear could be when governed by Fire Spiritual Power.

But likewise, the toll it took on his body was immense.

Normally, he could have executed dozens of moves with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear.

But just a few moves with the Fire Spiritual Power, and he felt as drained as if he was depleted!

After swallowing Old Xu, the fiery dragon turned into a sea of fire.

It was unclear if it was burning Old Xu, or if it had caught the nearby weeds and shrubs, as the crackling sounds were incessant.

Until the firelight vanished.

A charred corpse remained on the ground.

Only then did Lu Chen snap back to reality as if awakened from a dream.

Looking at his empty hands and at the dark Heavenly Inquiry Spear beside the corpse, Lu Chen shakily stood up.

But unbeknownst to him, someone had appeared before him!

Lu Chen was startled, and instinctively stumbled back several steps!

He had almost forgotten there was another male martial artist besides that woman!

If this person harbored evil intentions, how would he cope?

"Young brother, sorry for scaring you!"

The man apologized sincerely and, to show his goodwill, even picked up the Heavenly Inquiry Spear himself, and holding it in both hands, he respectfully offered it back to Lu Chen!

Lu Chen stared intently at the other man, ready to sprint into the abyss at any sign of aggression!

Though drained, he still had a tiny bit of spiritual power left, enough to infuse into his legs and flee for his life.

Luckily, all seemed normal.

But just as the man was about to hand over the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to Lu Chen’s outstretched hand, he suddenly twisted his body and stabbed the spear towards Lu Chen’s chest!

"Sorry about this, but I’ve taken a fancy to this spear!"

With a sinister laugh, Lu Chen saw a familiar gleam of cold light.

Just as before, the gleam reflected off his own face.

Lu Chen despaired...

He couldn’t escape!
