Lu Chen turned to look at Qin Yaotiao and gave her a aningful glance, signaling her to retreat to the other end of the ice house.
Qin Yaotiao, having also heard the sounds, nodded slightly and, dragging the lying Li Yanran with her, they both retreated.
Only then did Lu Chen turn back, raising the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and pointing its tip toward the direction of the sounds.
Based on the varying volus of their conversation, Lu Chen deduced that Chu Zhongtian was close by, drilling, while Li Mo was located a bit further away.
Therefore, he planned to wound Chu Zhongtian first!
He must keep a living witness!
Then, he intended to have Qin Yaotiao guard Chu Zhongtian while he himself would rush out to confront Li Mo!
In the midst of the ice, what use would his Li Fire be?
Lu Chen believed Li Mo would not be a match for him at all, and that he could defeat him in one fell swoop, without taking much ti!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The sounds grew closer and clearer, and Lu Chen held his breath.
Until, in the inner wall of the ice layer, he spotted a flicker of fla!
Li Fire!
Lu Chen forcefully exhaled a breath of foul air, shouted lowly, and activated the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to its utmost limit before thrusting his spear!
He did not use the Hateful Heaven Spear Technique, fearing that it would kill Chu Zhongtian with a single strike!
But as the spiritual power was unleashed, along with the sound of his movent, Chu Zhongtian instantly beca aware and quickly retreated backward.
However, the freezing temperatures of the icy ground, as well as the constant excavation forming the ice house from the ice spiritual power, had already drained him of his strength. Where could he possibly retreat to?
A long spear enlarged continuously before his eyes!
When he realized he couldn’t dodge it, he let out a hysterical roar!
"Li, fellow Daoist, assist !"
Li Mo, not like Chu Zhongtian, had been sowhat distracted all along. When he saw Chu Zhongtian suddenly retreating, he paused in a daze for a mont.
By the ti he heard Chu Zhongtian’s cry for help, he was already half a beat too slow!
There was no ti to employ the Li Fire Curse to help, and he himself also had exhausted a lot of energy. He couldn’t even care about Chu Zhongtian as he turned and fled into the snowstorm!
"Li Mo, may you die a horrible death!"
Chu Zhongtian never expected that his ally, with whom he had fought nurous tis, would desert him so abruptly. Cursing in a fit of rage, he quickly swung the mining pick in his hand towards the spear!
Snap!
While the mining pick was a magic artifact, it was only ant for digging up spirit stones and was no match for the Heavenly Inquiry Spear.
The mining pick snapped upon impact, and Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear had already pierced Chu Zhongtian’s upper abdon!
Between the heart and the lower abdon!
"Chu Zhongtian, cease your resistance, and I will spare your life!"
Lu Chen stepped forward and, taking advantage of the montum, flipped him onto the ground and pinned him to the icy floor!
"Are...are you serious?"
He had been at odds with Lu Chen to the death for a long ti.
The sudden offer to spare his life made Chu Zhongtian realize there must be a reason. Moreover, with no other options at this mont, he was at a complete loss!
"Of course I am," Lu Chen responded.
He glanced in the direction where Li Mo had escaped, only to see him completely transford into a ball of firelight, moving extrely fast, as if the icy terrain did not affect him at all. Lu Chen guessed he must be using so secret technique.
If he had used this technique to fight him just now, perhaps there would have been a fighting chance.
Because he wanted to keep a live captive, this indeed gave him a slight advantage.
But Li Mo didn’t know that and had missed the best mont to grapple with Lu Chen.
Of course, completely killing Lu Chen was absolutely impossible.
After all, they each had a wooden puppet surrogate with them!
Lu Chen diverted his gaze back to Chu Zhongtian.
"How have you considered it?"
Chu Zhongtian had no room for consideration, enduring the severe pain and the loss of spiritual power and said, "I won’t resist, I won’t resist anymore!"
"Very well," Lu Chen chuckled softly, lifting Chu Zhongtian with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear and bringing him inside the ice house. He then threw him onto the ground and ford ice spiritual power to seal the recently broken opening of the ice house.
"Don’t even think of using a trace of spiritual power, or else... don’t bla for being impolite!"
Lu Chen said indifferently as he glanced at Chu Zhongtian’s wound.
"Can’t move, I simply can’t move..."
Chu Zhongtian, recognizing his predicant, didn’t dare make any rash moves.
In fact, he was extrely shocked in his heart. Lu Chen’s spear had perfectly avoided his vitals, and the cold temperature inside the ice had quickly solidified his wound, stopping the bleeding.
This gave him a whole new understanding of Lu Chen.
Just who was this genius of a faction? The feeling he gave him...
Was even more terrifying than the one Kong Wu gave!
