Before the wood spirit could even let out half a scream.
—Boom!
Wood met open flame and ignited at once.
Much less when this was no ordinary fire.
It was the immortal divine flame most feared by all wood spirits and monsters in the world—the Samadhi True Fire.
In the blink of an eye.
That sixth-rank wood spirit was burned within the roaring true fire until not even ashes remained, utterly reduced to nothing.
"Who said a fourth-rank can't kill a sixth-rank?"
Lu Chen snorted coldly.
"Take a look at the cards I'm holding."
He gathered his robes, revealing more than a dozen [Talismans for Sweeping Away Calamity] plastered all over his body—
His chest and back were covered in talismans.
"Forget one strike—even ten more strikes wouldn't be enough to stab me to death!"
Lu Chen recalled the Flame Spirit Guards into the Hearthfire Seed.
With a sweep of his spirit eye,
He saw that, after repeated expenditure, less than half the Samadhi True Fire remained within the seed.
Of course, most of it had been used on the way through the third stage of the Exquisite Pagoda.
"It's fine. I'll just replenish it when it runs out."
With a single "Tower, Come," the true fire could be refilled at any time.
He was not worried in the slightest.
But why had this wood spirit targeted him?
Had it discovered that he was the one who destroyed the Spirit-Eye Divine Tree and secretly come to assassinate him?
Hmm, very likely!
After all, this puppet possessed at least some intelligence.
Good thing he had enough treasures and had prepared thoroughly!
With the wood spirit, this hidden threat, dealt with, it was time to handle the real business.
Lu Chen moved, heading straight for the second floor of the Chang family
