Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Reencounter with Liu Ruyan!

Liu Ruyan was indeed taking a moment to regain her breath.

She had just managed to carve off all the scales of the Jiaojie serpent, while also extracting its dragon sinew.

She did it single-handedly and didn’t have a long spear like Lu Chen, which consequently resulted in enormous physical exertion.

Yet she never expected that Lu Chen would come over, and without making any sound at all!

Of course, she had always assumed that the serpent could have died in a fight with other monstrous beasts!

So, in her excitement, she completely lost herself, only realizing after exhausting all her spiritual power that it was time to recuperate beneath a huge rock.

She had only recovered about half of her spiritual power when the sound produced by the sword Lu Chen threw out startled her.

She just took a closer look when Lu Chen came charging over from another side!

"Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!"

The moment Lu Chen saw Liu Ruyan, he immediately launched the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Skill!

Although he only wielded Water Spirit Power in his hand, this sudden attack could severely injure or even kill Liu Ruyan if she were completely unguarded!

By then, even if she only had the advantage of a long spear, she might be able to kill Liu Ruyan outright!

"Lu Chen!"

Hearing the familiar voice and the name of the spear skill, Liu Ruyan was tremendously shocked!

But the speed of Lu Chen was too fast, and a water dragon quickly sprang forth from the tip of the spear, biting towards her midsection!

"Liu Ruyan, let’s see where you can run to now!"

Lu Chen growled, advancing with large strides while the water dragon continued to surge forward!

He never thought that just the spear skill would be enough to kill Liu Ruyan, which is why he was thinking of getting close for hand-to-hand combat!

Although Lu Chen was a cultivator, he did not know any spells, which was the biggest difference between him and Liu Ruyan!

Only by getting close could he ensure that Liu Ruyan, even if she cast a spell, wouldn’t have the upper hand or kite him around!

Several perfect opportunities had been lost because he was too far away, which allowed Liu Ruyan to escape with her life.

And this time, there was nowhere else to hide on the entire beach, aside from that huge rock!

Lu Chen took large strides forward, leaving Liu Ruyan no time to attend to anything else; she didn’t even have time to draw her talismans and could only desperately meet the water dragon with her one arm!

"Xuanji Huaguang Palm!"

At this moment, Liu Ruyan dared not hold back, channeling all the spiritual power within her body into this palm!

Boom!

This palm was Liu Ruyan’s strike of desperation, and the tremendous force of the palm struck the water dragon head-on!

Spiritual Power surged wildly, kicking up the sand violently!

Liu Ruyan swiftly withdrew her spiritual power and her figure astonishingly disappeared amid the sand and dust!

In this urgent situation, this was the best response Liu Ruyan could muster!

Only by buying some time could she regain her breath to face Lu Chen and create distance between them!

But what Liu Ruyan could never have expected

was that Lu Chen possessed the magical Pupil Skill!

Watching the familiar silhouette suddenly vanish, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback, halting his steps abruptly.

But soon, he guessed it was one of Liu Ruyan’s tricks!

If she had such an invisibility technique, she couldn’t possibly have used it all of a sudden after exhausting all her spiritual power!

Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

The water dragon Lu Chen conjured dissipated violently, and he widened his eyes fiercely!

With spiritual power flowing into his pupils, Lu Chen instantly saw the spiritual power swirling within the sandstorm!

"Hmph, you’ve hidden under the sand?"

A glint flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes; to him, Liu Ruyan was nothing short of a joke!

But he also knew that Liu Ruyan was surely waiting for a chance to counterattack. Thinking that she might have some profound talismans, Lu Chen decided to confuse Liu Ruyan, planning to ultimately use his spear, thrust it into the sand, and slay her on the spot!

Thinking this, Lu Chen didn’t hesitate to shout in feigned panic, "Where is she? Where did she go?"

He then frantically looked around, pretending to stumble unintentionally right above where Liu Ruyan was hiding, then quietly turned the spearhead downwards!

At that moment, with just a little force, his long spear would pierce straight down!
