Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Woman to the Rescue, Ultimate Counter-Kill!

"How can you do this? He saved us!"

The frail yet angry voice of the woman suddenly came through, and the man’s figure stalled, his long spear just piercing the flesh of Lu Chen’s chest, before getting stuck in his ribs!

The intense pain surfaced, and Lu Chen too forcefully snapped back to reality!

The man wanted to kill him, but the woman wanted to save him!

Perhaps, he could take the opportunity... to counter-kill!

Lu Chen suddenly reached for his chest, tightly grabbing the shaft of the spear, and then channeled all the remaining fire spiritual power in his body into the shaft!

"The spear unleashes... like a dragon!"

He screamed hysterically, almost breaking his throat!

A fire dragon, as if dwelling within his body, powerfully burst forth!

"Kid, you..."

At such a close distance, Lu Chen couldn’t dodge, nor could the man!

Moreover, the man still clutched the long spear in his hand!

But in the blink of an eye, the fire dragon surged along the Heavenly Inquiry Spear’s shaft, the dragon’s head being the spear’s tail, its wide-open mouth instantly biting into the man’s neck!

It was also because Lu Chen had not much fire spiritual power left in his body, and the woman, nearly powerless, tried to save him, Lu Chen naturally didn’t want to hurt his benefactor!

Along the way, there had been those who harmed him, and also those who helped him.

Those who harmed him, he would eradicate completely!

Those who helped him, if not to repay a lifesaving grace like a gushing spring, he should at least hold gratitude in his heart!

This was the principle by which Lu Chen lived.

While the fire dragon did not engulf the man, it did burn his neck directly into a piece of blackened char!

And the hand holding the Heavenly Inquiry Spear was the same!

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the man’s neck and hand turned to charcoal dust, the end of the spear losing its supportive strength, violently shaking several times at Lu Chen’s chest, causing him tremendous pain yet again!

Nearly collapsing, but Lu Chen remained extremely lucid, and then he saw the headless body standing before him, and beneath its feet, the woman had already fainted.

Her whole body was covered in blood, her pale pretty face smeared with tainted blood, but she still maintained a certain charm!

"Huff—"

Lu Chen let out a long breath and slowly sat down on the ground.

His chest was in pain, and he feared that any slight movement would drive the spear tip straight into his heart!

Feeling the solid touch beneath him, Lu Chen felt somewhat relieved, and he again gripped the spear shaft with both hands, clenched his teeth, and slowly started pulling it outwards.

The spear tip was diamond-shaped, and pulling it out felt like a hook in reverse; every little movement pulled at Lu Chen’s nerves, bringing unbearable pain.

Recalling the time he had gouged his own eyes and destroyed his elixir, Lu Chen persisted.

Only when the spear tip, with strands of blood and some flesh, appeared before his eyes did Lu Chen vigorously pull it out!

"Heh!"

He growled lowly, and the entire spear tip finally came into view.

Lu Chen, as if drained, leaned back and lay on the ground, gasping heavily for air!

He survived, he had actually survived!

And this was all within less time than it took to brew a cup of tea since he had thought he was going to die!

"Didn’t expect... I, Lu Chen... could still come back to life!"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel emotional; the man’s greed had taught Lu Chen a severe lesson!

Life and death, it was just that close!

After lying on the ground and getting his breath back for a while, Lu Chen planned to cultivate the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method.

His injuries were severe, but, firstly, these were external wounds which could not heal quickly even if recovered.

Secondly, compared to that, Lu Chen must have spiritual power inside his body to ensure his safety going forward.

Who knew if there would be monsters attracted by the smell of blood? Or perhaps, if someone would barge into this place late at night?

Lu Chen first took a few deep breaths, and once he got used to the pain of the chest wound, he prepared to focus on his cultivation.

Without Xiao Hei to keep watch or a proper hiding place, this was quite risky in the wilderness.

But Lu Chen knew this was a desperate measure in times of urgency.

So, he planned to recover a little and then reassess the situation!

However, just as he was about to begin channeling the Qi refining technique to absorb the spiritual energy from the air, the woman groaned softly, suddenly coming to!
