Those who possess great skill may also possess great courage.
The four individuals who dared to remain obviously relied on their own strengths and were exceedingly cautious, discerning that amidst this conflict lay great opportunities.
Whether it be Ao Yu from the North Dragon Sect, Li Mo from the Li Fire Sect, Chu Zhongtian from the Xuanyun Sect, or Nian Ciyun from the Xuanji Sect, each was a rare genius seldom seen in the world.
Indeed, they were not blessed with Kong Wu’s Innate Taoist Body, but the fact that their sects had sent them here spoke volus.
And the most surprising of them all was Nian Ciyun. The Xuanji Sect was but a second-rate sect, and it was even managed by the Qingyun Sect, making her presence here all the more extraordinary.
At that mont,
each of them was sizing up the Qi Cyclone ford by the condensing mist, each preparing their own powerful spells and techniques. Despite their common goal at the mont, the mont an opportunity arose, they wouldn’t hesitate to make their move, to kill or to seize the treasure!
In the midst of the fog, Lu Chen’s struggle with the Earth Fire had reached a fever pitch.
Endless streams of Water Spirit Power surged towards the fire lance.
anwhile, the Earth Fire within the lance continued to emit its power.
In comparison, the intensity of the fire was even greater.
But Lu Chen’s advantage lay in his nearly inexhaustible Spiritual Power.
As long as there was Spiritual Energy in the air, Lu Chen would be on invincible ground.
The Earth Fire knew this as well and was looking for an opening.
It had tangled with Lu Chen in his Dantian before and hadn’t expected Lu Chen to decisively pull out the Taoist Body.
Thus, Earth Fire knew even better that to kill Lu Chen and break free from this entrapnt, it had to use the Taoist Body lance!
It continued to search for an opportunity, circling around Lu Chen.
But Lu Chen was no pushover. His remaining eye was already employing the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique. In reality, it was the Heart’s Eye Fully Open, allowing him to see every move of the fire lance as it circled, missing nothing from his sight.
As a naturally occurring Spiritual Object, the Earth Fire’s instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm made it cautious about acting rashly; it would not strike unless there was a sure opportunity.
Once it made a move, it would only have one chance!
The caution of the Earth Fire and Lu Chen’s endurance made the situation at the bottom of the pit even more tense.
The swirling fog spread out from the pit, enveloping the four others and affecting their vision.
"Fairy Nian, do you have any insights?"
Ao Yu asked Nian Ciyun, his hand already forming an intricate spell, ready to be unleashed.
"Daoist Ao, the situation is unclear, it would be better to wait,"
Nian Ciyun had patience, but Li Mo said, "In my opinion, if we wait any longer, it may not be wise. No one knows if this misty Qi Cyclone is the prelude to that young man’s profound spell. If he has laid out preparations, we might be affected."
As he spoke, a fla suddenly sprang up from his hand.
The fla flickered tirelessly, its outer portion interweaving blue and red, emitting a high temperature. The fog around him also retreated instantly.
"I agree with Daoist Li. When it’s ti to make a move, we must not hesitate, lest it be too late later!"
Chu Zhongtian also opened his palm, revealing a small sword as thin as a finger.
"Daoist Chu, could that sword possibly be the legendary Shadowless Sword?"
Hearing soone in agreent, Li Mo naturally leaned in closer, his fla pushed back as he got a clear view of Chu Zhongtian’s Magic Artifact.
Chu Zhongtian smiled, "Daoist Li’s Li Fire is also impressive, it looks to be nearly perfected!"
Li Mo raised an eyebrow and leaned in to whisper, lowering his voice, "The Earth Fire is mine, and the lance is yours. How about that?"
"Agreed!"
While Chu Zhongtian’s artifact was indeed a sword, he wasn’t a Sword Cultivator. If he could incorporate the lance into his Shadowless Sword after refining it, the power would increase by at least thirty percent!
This was exactly what he wanted!
Li Mo’s Li Fire might not be Spiritual Fire, but its power was comparable. If he could devour the Earth Fire, his strength would surge as well!
Hadn’t they co from afar to the Haotian Secret Realm exactly to seek opportunities for their own strength to grow?
Suddenly, the four beca divided into two factions. Their whispered voices were not heard by Ao Yu and Nian Ciyun.
But their keen minds guessed that these two would join forces.
Because Ao Yu and Nian Ciyun had also drawn closer to each other, quietly discussing how they should intervene if the other two decided to attack.
At this ti, Lu Chen only knew that there were people outside the pit but had not seen any movent.
However, he was completely composed and not the least bit worried.
With the thick fog making it difficult to enter, not to ntion his Heart’s Eye Fully Open, as soon as they stepped within the range of the pit, they would surely be detected by him first!
But what Lu Chen could never have anticipated was that those four would start fighting among themselves first!
