Chapter 531: Chapter 531 Anomalies in Earth Fire, Changes in the Spear of the Dao Platform!

The clash between the flames and ice blades caused no commotion.

Under Lu Chen’s all-out effort, the temperature here gradually began to rise.

The layers of ice that had initially formed around them were melting at an ever-faster rate.

"Ice Spiritual Root, huh? That’s all there is to it!"

Lu Chen still considered Ao Yu on the same level as Yu Zhibai in terms of Spirit Roots, but he did not underestimate his opponent.

He maintained the same posture, with Spiritual Power transforming into streaks of firelight constantly surging forth.

After colliding with the ice blades, mist began to fill the area once again.

But it didn’t affect Lu Chen in the slightest.

Even so, Lu Chen could see the Earth Fire had somewhat stabilized.

"I can’t let him recover anymore, lest he turns around and strikes back later!"

Lu Chen quickly analyzed the situation, realizing that Ao Yu seemed to be running out of strength and wasn’t increasing his offensive.

This could be felt from the slowly rising temperature around them.

"I’ll secure the Earth Fire first, and maybe I can leave before dealing with you all one by one!"

A flash of killing intent swept through Lu Chen’s eyes.

Compared to everything else, the Earth Fire was somewhat more important.

Seeing that his ’Silver Spear Like Rain’ had hammered out a vacuum in the area in front of him, Lu Chen judged he had a moment to seize the Earth Fire!

However, he didn’t plan to absorb the Earth Fire into his Dantian to refine it like before, not only because he worried it would affect his escape but also because the damage it had caused when contained within his Dantian was still vivid in his memory.

His plan was to use the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to lift up the long spear from the Taoist platform and then seize the opportunity to leave this place!

By that time, traveling on his spear, with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear carrying the long spear from the Taoist platform, everything would be under his control!

Once he reached the hiding place of Qin Yaotiao and Li Yanran, even if their strength was quite inferior, he would still have some reserve power and wouldn’t be single-handedly struggling as he was now!

After all, the whereabouts of Li Mo and Chu Zhongtian were still unknown!

As he thought this, Lu Chen’s keen eyes suddenly spotted a shadow moving at the edge of his vision!

Nian Ciyun!

His heart turned cold, preparing to kill her first, but unexpectedly, Nian Ciyun was not heading towards him but leaping towards the outside of the pit!

In that moment of shock, Nian Ciyun had already escaped from the bottom of the pit!

"Has she recovered?"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but regret; Nian Ciyun must have some kind of spirit pill that could heal bones swiftly, and the time spent battling Ao Yu with Ice Spiritual Power wasn’t short by any means!

"I was somewhat careless this time. Now that she’s escaped, it’s impossible to know what exactly happened to the Xuanji Sect and why such an outstanding disciple entered the Haotian Secret Realm."

He had had dealings with disciples from the Xuanji Sect; the most memorable one was Shang Xiu, Qin Yaotiao’s fourth senior sister.

Her schemes were so deep that if he wasn’t always on alert, he might have fallen for them too!

"Forget about it for now, I will ask Yaotiao about it when I get back!"

Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Lu Chen quickly withdrew his spear technique and then turned and strode forward, sticking to the plan by using the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to lift the long spear from the Taoist platform out of the Fire Spirit Liquid!

But just as he set foot on the spear, ready to use his Spear Control to burst out of the pit, something unexpected happened!

The lingering flame, struggling to stay alive, suddenly ignited the entire long spear from the Taoist platform and then drilled straight into his Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

The extreme heat and the spreading flames engulfed Lu Chen in an instant!

"Not good!"

Lu Chen’s face changed drastically, but he didn’t dare to linger, desperately channeling Spiritual Power, ignoring the flames on his body, and charged straight out of the pit!

In the eyes of those four people, Lu Chen was like a fireball, rushing into the distance!

They were stunned; was he refining his body with fire?

Lu Chen was moving too quickly, so much so that the four of them didn’t quite understand what was happening before he turned into a point of fire and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

"Fairy Nian, let’s kill them first!"

With the treasure snatched away, Ao Yu naturally sought self-preservation. He let out a light shout, taking advantage of the many wisps of water-converted Spiritual Power still in the pit, and once again used his Mysterious Ice Dao Body to try to trap Chu Zhongtian and Li Mo there!

"Hmph, Brother Chu, let’s go!"

Li Mo quickly released a clump of fleeing fire to block a streak of icy power, then hastily fled with Chu Zhongtian!

This place was disadvantageous for them, and without any treasure left to claim, fighting a life or death battle was pointless.

"Let’s go!"

Chu Zhongtian’s figure flashed, stepping onto his Shadowless Sword like hovering in the void, and alongside Li Mo, they both fled into the air!

"Fairy Nian," Ao Yu finally exhaled in relief and said, "Could you take me to a place to recover?"

As he spoke, his gaze was sharply fixed on Nian Ciyun, but finally, it fell upon her smooth shins, causing him to be momentarily startled.

"Rest assured, Brother Ao!"

Nian Ciyun took out another spirit pill and swallowed it, then helped Ao Yu up and flew off in another direction.
