Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Escaped the encirclement of monsters, but ambushed by human cultivators!

"Such a beast, unheard of!"

Lu Chen muttered to himself, his voice steady. At this moment, the beast’s wings were still tightly contracted on its back and had not spread out.

But Lu Chen was accustomed to preparing for the worst case scenario.

That the beast might fly!

The reason he was focusing on this particular beast was that among all the creatures, only this one had no scales but feathers!

By comparison, this beast’s defensive power might be a bit weaker!

The greatest commonality among demon beasts is their formidable demon bodies.

But a strong demon body does not necessarily equate to strong defense.

As strong as the Xuanming Ice Snake, within that icy terrain, most of its defenses did not rely on its own snake scales, but rather its demonic nature condensed ice power, forming a thick layer of ice armor on its body.

Just as Lu Chen was currently doing, covering his body entirely with chaotic power!

"It’s close!"

Indeed, the winged beast was the fastest, and its body was extremely light.

As he called out, the gray-white dragon shadow formed from Lu Chen’s previous spear thrust finally collided with a demon beast!

Boom!

The tremendous spiritual power slammed head-on, emitting a loud bang!

The ground shook from the impact, and the other demon beasts were instantly drawn by this display of force!

Turning their heads to look naturally made their running pace slow down a bit!

"Now is the time!"

Lu Chen’s eyes widened fiercely as he threw out the Bingji Fan and then leaped onto it with a steady step!

The winged beast noticed Lu Chen’s action almost at the same time, squatting low before flapping its wings to take off!

Whooosh—

The sound of the wind followed, and the winged beast had already opened its mouth wide to reveal its sharp fangs, with its huge mouth biting down towards Lu Chen’s head!

"Hmph!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly, and thrust his hands out sharply in front of him!

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear emitted a gray-white light, moving with extreme speed!

Sleek!

The spear tip, without any surprise, stabbed into the mouth of the demon beast, piercing out from the neck!

The demon beast was too fast.

However, it hadn’t anticipated that Lu Chen was leveraging its speed—so fast that it seemed as if it had impaled itself on the spear tip!

Lu Chen did not use any special spear technique.

It was just an ordinary thrust.

Because only by doing so could he retract his force more quickly!

Without waiting to see how the other demon beasts would react, Lu Chen was prompted by a thought, and he withdrew the Heavenly Inquiry Spear back into his palm.

Then, he focused on controlling the Bingji Fan, flying over the head of the beast!

This semi-circular encirclement was easily broken by Lu Chen!

"Roar—"

Seeing the winged beast fall dead, all the demon beasts roared out again!

A mere human had just killed one of their kin with a single blow!

It was completely unexpected!

Before the roar had subsided, the beasts had already turned around and were hungrily chasing after Lu Chen!

But Lu Chen had no intention of entangling with them, controlling the Bingji Fan with all his might, flying in a straight line at the fastest speed!

The wilderness was the same as ever.

The only difference,

was that here the mounds were actually mounds of earth, unlike the completely restrained demon beasts elsewhere.

So what was there to fear?

At his full strength, those beasts that could only run were left behind, nothing but dust!

A few moments later, Lu Chen’s figure was no longer visible!

"That demon beast looked exceedingly bizarre," Lu Chen turned his head back, whispered, and sighed, "What a pity, its demon pill..."

Just as he thought this, Lu Chen suddenly sensed a feeling of impending danger in his heart!

"Not good, it’s an ambush!"

He had no time to discern where this crisis had come from, nor any time to dodge using the Bingji Fan, but instead, he promptly stowed away the fan and plummeted toward the ground!

Whiz—

A beam of spiritual light shot out from a crevice in the ground, aiming for the height where he had just been flying!

"It’s a human, a cultivator!"

As he fell, Lu Chen didn’t only look out for himself; Heart’s Eye Fully Open, he quickly spotted the source of the attack!

That beam of spiritual light, containing both metal and fire attributes—who could it be, if not a cultivator?

As Lu Chen processed this, the attacker did not cease their assault due to Lu Chen’s reaction!

Having missed the first attack, three beams of spiritual light identical to the earlier one shot out from the crevice, arranged in a character ’品’ shape, sealing off Lu Chen’s front, back, and bottom directions!

Knowing he had encountered a formidable foe, Lu Chen did not dare to be negligent.

Fortunately, since the opponent hadn’t gained the upper hand, Lu Chen once again brought out the Bingji Fan, pinpointed the direction of the incoming attack using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, and nimbly evaded it!

However, he had no intention of engaging in mid-air. Lu Chen’s strength was best utilized on the ground!

After dodging the three beams of spiritual light, he took the opportunity before the third wave of attacks arrived to swiftly descend towards the ground!

Yet, no sooner had he steadied himself than the ground suddenly began to shake violently!
