In the distance, Liao Yunfan was still facing off against the Black-Armored Bear King. He saw it too. His pupils contracted, and he roared in horror, "Bureau Chief, dodge!!"
Lu Zhenbei's expression changed. He shot backward, holding his long halberd across his chest as he tried to put some distance between himself and the giant hand of magma.
But the hand was far faster than he had expected. Almost the instant he moved, it was upon him, leaving him no chance to escape.
Lu Zhenbei's face darkened. With nowhere to dodge, he could only meet it with everything he had.
He gripped his halberd in both hands and drove his spiritual power to its limit. A tide of dark energy poured into the weapon.
Then he thrust. Cold light burst from the halberd's tip as it slammed into the giant hand of magma!
Boom!!
The instant halberd met palm, a deafening crash erupted.
Two immense forces collided in midair. Savage shockwaves swept outward, shattering the rocks below.
But the next moment, Lu Zhenbei shuddered. He could not withstand it.
The skin between his thumb and forefinger split open, spraying blood.
He flew backward like a kite with its string cut, coughing up a mouthful of blood as his body traced a long arc through the air.
The giant hand did not pause after its strike. It reached for Lu Zhenbei again, intent on killing him while he was wounded!
But just as it was about to touch him...
The space between its middle and ring fingers split apart. A stream of searing molten rock extended from the gap and formed another, smaller hand that lunged at Jiang Bei to the side!
"Not good!"
Jiang Bei's expression changed drastically.
He tried to dodge, stamping against the air to propel himself backward.
