Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Slaying the Dragon Scale Beast, An Unexpected Reward?

Even Lu Chen hadn’t expected that this strike would go so smoothly!

He brought Xu Xiuqi’s corpse here with the aim of luring the Dragon Scale Beast to stretch its claws into the cave!

But what he hadn’t expected was for it to go so smoothly!

It was also slightly surprising for Lu Chen that his spear had also pierced into the stone wall!

If he pulled it out, Lu Chen would have a ready weapon, but the Dragon Scale Beast would also be able to free itself.

But if he didn’t pull it out...

He could trap it here completely!

With a firm resolve in his heart, Lu Chen decided to play it safe for now!

The Dragon Scale Beast had extremely high intelligence, which was evident from its caution!

Just for the sake of having a spear in hand, the risks were too great; he’d rather win by landing messy punches.

After all, what he cultivated was Spiritual Power!

With this thought, Lu Chen no longer hesitated and dashed out of the cave!

With its forelimbs nailed inside the cave, the body of the Dragon Scale Beast lay on the ground, its movements limited; it had no choice but to flap around wildly!

"Xiaosun said that the scales of the Dragon Scale Beast are extremely hard... then I’ll start by blinding your eyes!"

Lu Chen took a deep breath, leaped up, and straddled the beast’s neck!

Then, with one hand gripping the horn on top of its head, no matter how the Dragon Scale Beast struggled, Lu Chen still punched it in the eye!

The Dragon Scale Beast had anticipated Lu Chen’s intentions and quickly closed its eyes!

"Roar!"

With a roar, Lu Chen’s fist landed squarely on its eyelid!

His knuckles hurt!

"This won’t do, my body is still in the Bone Refinement Realm..."

Lu Chen shook his hand and thought that he could command Spiritual Power.

If he could infuse Spiritual Power into the spear, why not try infusing it into his punches?

No sooner said than done, Lu Chen thought of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear technique, mobilized Spiritual Power into his fist, and then smashed down hard!

Bang!

There was still a rebounding force on his fist, but compared to before, it was much weaker and at least within Lu Chen’s tolerance!

"Excellent!"

Excited, Lu Chen relentlessly pounded with his fists!

Although he was not skilled in boxing and did not know how to use his force,

With the addition of Spiritual Power, even if the effect was slight, it was more than the Dragon Scale Beast could withstand!

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Under the barrage of punches and because of the Fire Spiritual Power, each blow emitted a bit of firelight!

The Dragon Scale Beast kept roaring furiously, but gradually, hints of pleading mixed into the roar!

"Plead for mercy now? Too late! The moment you wanted to kill me before, you sealed your fate for today!"

Lu Chen laughed coldly; though it was a single fist, it struck like a rain of blows!

At first, he was rusty, but as he continued to punch, he became more adept.

Not only could Lu Chen precisely land his fist on its eyelid, but he also began to sense a subtle control over the Spiritual Power within him!

If previously he had used full power of Spiritual Power for ten percent effect,

Now, he was using thirty percent of his Spiritual Power to achieve twenty percent effect!

"I refuse to believe I can’t blind that eye of yours!"

Lu Chen hammered away for an hour.

Finally, with his last punch, he broke through the Dragon Scale Beast’s eyelid, his whole palm sinking in!

"Roar––"

In pain, the Dragon Scale Beast roared again!

The sound carried far away, almost tearing through the veil of darkness in the abyss!

"Hmph!"

Lu Chen scoffed coldly, aiming his fist at its other eye!

With growing mastery over Spiritual Power, piercing through the eyelid this time took only half an hour!

The Dragon Scale Beast was blinded!

This was not a fatal wound, but Lu Chen already had a plan!

He leaped down and rushed back into the cave, grabbed the spear with both hands, and pulled it out!

"Ow!"

The Dragon Scale Beast suddenly found it could move again, but blinded, it could only run blindly in one direction!

But how could Lu Chen let it have its way?

"Spear Strikes the Sky!"

Blind and struggling with the terrain, the Dragon Scale Beast couldn’t run fast at all!

The sound of the wind whistled by, and the next moment, the spearpoint pierced into its backside!

Amidst its agonized howls, Lu Chen stepped forward, pushing off the ground with powerful force!

The Dragon Scale Beast, knowing it couldn’t escape, swung its remaining claws at Lu Chen in a last attempt!

This was nearly its most powerful strike!

But how could it touch Lu Chen under his watchful eye?

Lu Chen deftly dodged, his body seeming to blend into the darkness!

In the next moment, he was grasping the spear again, leaping up!

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

In that moment, the torrential Fire Spiritual Power surged out of his body, quickly forming a fire dragon that bit towards the Dragon Scale Beast’s neck!

Not only did the spearpoint stab in, but the fire dragon also engulfed the Dragon Scale Beast’s head completely!

Lu Chen didn’t stop there.

Being merciful to his enemy was cruel to himself!

"Immortal Guides the Way!"

"Great Roc Spreads Its Wings!"

"Silver Spear Like Rain!"

"..."

After Lu Chen had used every spear technique he knew, the Dragon Scale Beast finally collapsed onto the ground!

Its body still emitted a slight scorched smell!

Indeed, no matter how strong it was, how could it be stronger than Spiritual Power?

Only now, faint black light flowed over its scales, as if they had been refined by a sacred fire!

Lu Chen stood firm, a strange light dancing in his eyes...

Could there be an unexpected windfall?
