Getting Stronger By Fighting
Chapter 800 - 798: White Tiger Venerable_1
Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "You should first recover your cultivation. After all, we have a fierce battle ahead, and we still don’t know what lies beneath the ground. We can’t afford to be careless."
Luo Xue looked at Wang Zhan gratefully. He understood the sacrifice Wang Zhan was making. However, seeing Wang Zhan’s determined attitude, he didn’t press the matter further and simply resolved to remember this kindness.
"But, Brother Wang, have you ever wondered what exactly is beneath us? Why haven’t we reached the bottom yet, even after descending hundreds of meters? Could it simply be the movement of the earth’s crust?"
Luo Xue looked doubtful, glancing down at the seemingly bottomless chasm beneath his feet.
Just as Wang Zhan was about to respond, he heard a tiger’s roar. Frowning slightly, he instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. "It seems there might be a tiger down there?"
"I think it might be more complicated than that," Luo Xue smirked. "Merely hearing this sound is enough to instill fear; its actual strength must be incredibly terrifying. Moreover, if this chasm was indeed created by it, then we truly need to consider our approach carefully."
"What will we do if the two of us combined still can’t defeat that creature?"
Wang Zhan shrugged his shoulders, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Isn’t it simple? We just run away."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue burst out laughing. "I thought with your kind of strength, Brother Wang, you would never resort to running. I didn’t expect you to have such a disreputable side!"
Wang Zhan shot Luo Xue a sideways glance and then said, "I’m human, not a god, so I also know fear and terror. When faced with such situations, naturally, I also think about retreating unscathed."
Luo Xue simply grinned, not saying anything more.
Just as they were preparing to move forward, they saw a streak of light rushing towards them at high speed.
In the darkness, the fire screen Wang Zhan had created was exceptionally dazzling, but that streak of light was even more brilliant.
Wang Zhan’s expression changed. He subconsciously brandished the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. Due to the suppressive force of the surrounding strong winds, he dared not be negligent. He directly swung his blade and roared fiercely: "Fatal One Slash!"
With a loud bang, the massive blade light directly collided with the dazzling streak of light. But what Wang Zhan hadn’t expected at all was that his technique actually had no impact on that streak of light; it didn’t even halt its advance.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhan’s expression instantly changed. He clenched his fists and said word by word, "Be careful. This thing is a bit strange."
Luo Xue, beside him, nodded heavily. Without daring to hesitate, he quickly formed hand seals and charged towards that streak of light.
The combined power of their simultaneous attacks was enough to destroy heaven and earth. But what Wang Zhan had never imagined was that even with their joint effort, they were still no match for that streak of light. Moreover, both of them were sent flying.
Luckily, they were not too badly injured.
However, their combined attack this time did manage to stop the streak of light. As the glow around it gradually receded, Wang Zhan slowly began to see clearly what the entity before him was.
Beneath the fading light was a human figure a full two meters tall. The figure was entirely snow-white, and on its forehead, the character for ’King’ was inscribed, looking extremely strange.
Especially its pair of white pupils, which made one shudder without feeling cold.
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to identify this entity for the moment.
Luo Xue, standing to the side, subconsciously asked, "Brother Wang, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you happen to know what this thing is?"
Wang Zhan shook his head and said with a vigilant expression, "For now, I can’t tell what this thing is either. But I can feel waves of powerful intimidation emanating from its body. This chasm was likely created by it. Let’s first probe its capabilities. But if we feel we’re no match for it, don’t get entangled in a fight. We’ll head towards the top of the chasm immediately."
Jiang Yin was above the chasm. Additionally, Han Junxiong and the others could also provide some assistance. So, Wang Zhan had naturally made thorough preparations.
Luo Xue nodded heavily.
However, after the figure swept its gaze over the two of them, it suddenly clutched its head and began to shake its body frantically.
Wang Zhan and Luo Xue exchanged puzzled glances, evidently neither understanding what was happening.
"Has this thing suddenly gone mad?" Luo Xue asked with a furrowed brow.
Wang Zhan warily watched the man before him. After hesitating for a good while, he finally said, "I think he must have some hidden affliction, which is why he has become like this. But his strength is exceedingly formidable; we cannot afford to underestimate him."
"Especially in a frenzied state, that strength can be enhanced even further."
Luo Xue, standing to the side, nodded.
Suddenly, the man looked at the two of them and said in extreme pain, "Quick, kill me now while you still can."
Wang Zhan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"My body is no longer under my control. If you don’t kill me now, once I descend into madness again, it will be extremely difficult for the two of you to survive. Moreover, if I manage to break out of this chasm, I might slaughter the entire Star War Battlefield. I don’t want to commit such a terrible wrong. So, if you kill me now, it’s not only for your self-preservation but also a boon for the entire Star War Battlefield."
Hearing this, Luo Xue retorted disdainfully, "Aren’t you thinking a bit too highly of yourself? There are so many experts on the Star War Battlefield. With just you, at most, you’d kill some ordinary people. Slaughter the entire Star War Battlefield? Do you really think you’re qualified for that?"
Wang Zhan didn’t speak, merely staring at the man before him.
The man beside them frowned and said, "What do you two understand? This place has multiple regions. The region I’m in now is merely a low-level plane. How strong can the people here possibly be?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhan’s expression changed slightly. He could tell that the man before him indeed had a very deep understanding of the Star War Battlefield. And judging by his strength, his words were likely not false.
After clenching his fists, Wang Zhan then continued, "I do have a way to help you suppress the energy in your body, but I don’t know if you’re willing to try?"
Hearing this, the man’s eyes widened, and he quickly asked, "What way?"
Wang Zhan directly took an elixir from his robes and tossed it to the man. In an instant, the elixir was caught by the man. However, he looked at Wang Zhan with confusion, then at the elixir in his hand, and finally inquired, "What does this thing do?"
Wang Zhan replied calmly, "It can temporarily suppress the cultivation within your body. In that state, you will become a cripple with no cultivation. But rest assured, it won’t take long for your cultivation to recover. I have quite a few of these elixirs. If you want to suppress your cultivation continuously, I can help you with that."
Upon hearing this, the man hesitated for a moment. He stared at the elixir for a good while, then, without the slightest hesitation, swallowed it directly.
This scene indeed shocked Luo Xue. She glanced at Wang Zhan beside her and then said with surprise, "It seems he had no intention of deceiving us. He really seems to be seeking death; otherwise, he wouldn’t have swallowed the elixir you gave him so easily."
Wang Zhan nodded. He could also see that the man before him seemed to be in extreme agony. However, he didn’t understand how the man had ended up in this state.
But it had to be said, this man didn’t have many malicious intentions; he had even prepared for them to kill him just now. If not for this, Wang Zhan naturally wouldn’t have let him off so easily.
Indeed, after the man consumed the elixir, the strong winds around them also gradually dispersed. Wang Zhan quickly grabbed the man’s arm; otherwise, the man would have fallen back into the endless Abyss.
After glancing at the man before him, Wang Zhan then asked, "Who exactly are you? How can you possess such formidable strength?"
The man replied flatly, "I wonder if you’ve heard of the White Tiger Venerable?"
Upon hearing this, both Wang Zhan’s and Luo Xue’s expressions changed instantly. Wang Zhan, in particular, subconsciously asked, "Then do you know the Azure Dragon Venerable?"
"And the Black Tortoise Venerable?" Luo Xue also moved closer and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the White Tiger Venerable looked at the two of them. He stared at them for a good while before asking with confusion, "Your bodies actually carry the aura of my old friends?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhan instantly understood. The man before them was clearly one of the Four Venerables.
Wang Zhan smiled and said, "The two of us are, naturally, the inheritors of the Azure Dragon Venerable and the Black Tortoise Venerable."
As he spoke, Wang Zhan directly clenched his fist and suddenly slammed it towards the wall to the side.
Only to see a series of dragon roars resound from mid-air.
"Indestructible Azure Dragon Spell?!"
The White Tiger Venerable beside him instantly widened his eyes. He looked at Wang Zhan in shock for a good while before exclaiming in surprise, "You, a mere human, were actually able to obtain the Azure Dragon Venerable’s inheritance?"
"One should know, this Indestructible Azure Dragon Spell is his signature technique! Even those juniors of the Dragon Clan haven’t been able to touch it. You kid are truly fortunate!"
