Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Calm in the Face of Danger, Yu Zhibai Uses Tang Tieming as a Shield!

Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he condensed Spiritual Power in his legs and sprinted toward the ice wall. As he neared it, he threw a punch!

"Lu Chen!"

Yu Zhibai yelled sharply, "We are fellow brothers of the Casting Gear Pavilion, why would you attack me!"

He had already guessed that Lu Chen must have heard their conversation and did not expect his words to confuse Lu Chen.

But as long as it disturbed his mind even slightly, his goal would be accomplished.

With a sneer, Lu Chen did not respond, as his fist, already cloaked in flames, was about to smash into the wall!

Spiritual Fire!

If you use ice as a wall, then I will use Spiritual Fire to melt your ice!

The Spiritual Fire Lu Chen commanded had devoured the power of the Earth Vein Fire and Fire Essence; before his fist even made contact, the ice wall had begun to melt away!

"You actually have Spiritual Fire!"

Yu Zhibai’s face changed drastically, and he was even more certain that Lu Chen had intended to kill him from the start!

But where had he slipped up?

Li Yanran had acted because she heard firsthand that he had become a disciple of the Haotian Sect, which was why she chose to take action.

But Lu Chen’s temperament was completely different from Li Yanran’s, and he had only joined the Casting Gear Pavilion a few days ago!

It was impossible for him to harbor such a resolute intent to kill!

So where exactly did things go wrong?

Yu Zhibai’s mind was in turmoil; Lu Chen’s strength exceeded his imagination.

"No, Lu Chen is determined to kill me, and I am currently at a disadvantage, I must not face him in a direct fight!"

Yu Zhibai made a snap decision, and a flicker of Spiritual Power passed through his hands, instantly retrieving the folding fan from within the ice wall!

Taking advantage of the few moments the ice wall would still hold, Yu Zhibai didn’t say another word and dashed to the bottom of the cave!

Unless there was no way out of this cave, he would avoid a fight to the death with Lu Chen!

If he couldn’t overcome him, then it would still be timely to use a proxy wooden puppet!

Lu Chen’s expression turned cold; he hadn’t expected Yu Zhibai to take off so suddenly.

Considering that Li Yanran, Qin Yaotiao, Mo Buwen, and Yu Qingqing were still at the bottom of the cave, Lu Chen felt a twinge of urgency in his heart.

"Spiritual Fire!"

He uttered a low shout, allowing the Spiritual Fire to burst forth from his fist and attach to the ice surface.

Then, he swiftly turned around and pulled the Heavenly Inquiry Spear back to him!

"Silver Spear Like Rain!"

In the span of a single breath, Lu Chen thrust hundreds of spears, puncturing the ice wall with countless holes that, under the torment of the Spiritual Fire, collapsed thunderously!

But by that time, Yu Zhibai had already bolted into the cave. Not daring to delay, Lu Chen followed closely behind!

...

"Tang Tieming mentioned Yu Zhibai... How did those two end up together?"

Kong Wu furrowed his brow. Tang Tieming also mentioned his impending doom, meaning...

They faced danger, did Yu Zhibai harm Tang Tieming?

But the question was.

Did the danger come from someone else, or did they discover some valuable object and then Yu Zhibai killed for it?

"Too bad, I don’t know where they’ve hidden themselves, but they must be nearby."

Kong Wu then relaxed his frown, regardless of what had happened, it posed no real danger to him.

"It seems splitting up isn’t working; we need to regroup to avoid mishaps."

It wasn’t that Kong Wu feared for his own safety, but with fewer people, it would be harder to complete the sect’s mission.

He shook his head, took out another firework, infused it with Spiritual Power, and casually tossed it into the sky!

"Bang!"

The firework soared into the sky, then exploded, forming a large ’Haotian’ character.

Seeing the signal, the other three rushed over.

Since they weren’t far off, it took them less than half the time it would take to drink a cup of tea to convene with Kong Wu.

"Elder Brother Kong, what’s happened?"

The three had thought Kong Wu was in danger and rushed over, only to find him sitting cross-legged on his Magic Artifact, hovering in mid-air.

"How could anything happen to me?"

Kong Wu snorted with a disdainful face, then straightened it and declared solemnly, "Tang Tieming is dead!"

"What?"

The three gasped in shock, for Tang Tieming, come what may, was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

As Inner Sect Disciples of the Haotian Sect, they were well aware of Tang Tieming’s capabilities!

How could he die without a hint of disturbance?
