Chapter 815: Chapter 813: Splitting Into Three Groups

Jiang Yin’s face suddenly turned much more unsightly, and he tightly clenched his fist, preparing to charge towards Wang Zhan.

After all, he could sense the terrifying power contained within that black longsword.

But as soon as he reached Wang Zhan’s side, he was blocked by a wave of black light screen.

Wang Zhan also noticed the anomaly behind him. After glancing at Jiang Yin, he spoke indifferently: "I can handle this myself, just take care of yourself."

Jiang Yin nodded without saying a word.

Things had reached a point beyond what he could withstand.

Now all hope was pinned on Wang Zhan.

In a flash, Wang Zhan’s body shimmered with two different lights. As he clasped his hands together, the Deep Fire Blade in the sky began spinning rapidly.

And with each spin of the Deep Fire Blade, flames could be seen plummeting towards the leader-level beast.

Yet it couldn’t cause any harm to that leader-level beast.

The leader-level beast squinted its eyes, dusted off its body, then looked toward Wang Zhan, and said: "I thought, after inheriting the cultivation from Azure Dragon Venerable and Vermilion Bird Venerable, your powers would be terrifying. But now it seems you’re no match for either of them. Do you dare to provoke me with just this level of power?"

The leader-level beast slowly raised its hand, and the black longsword in the sky swooped down towards Wang Zhan again.

Wang Zhan, unwilling to be outdone, moved his mind, and the Deep Fire Blade shot towards the black longsword.

Upon impact, the sky flickered with colorful lights.

Beside him, Jiang Yin clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, muttering to himself: "I never thought Wang Zhan’s power would have reached this level. In this kind of struggle, I can’t even intervene."

When Jiang Yin and Wang Zhan separated initially, Wang Zhan’s strength was nowhere near what it is now. But in less than a month, his power advanced rapidly to such a degree, revealing the gap between them.

Even with some fortunate encounters, it was beyond Jiang Yin’s imagination.

The leader-level beast raised its finger again, flicking it, and the black longsword in the sky suddenly intensified its attack, slicing the Deep Fire Blade away with a single stroke.

Wang Zhan’s face changed, then quickly retreated several steps. As the Deep Fire Blade fell from mid-air to the ground, Wang Zhan felt a sharp pain in his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Just now, he’d poured all his power into the Deep Fire Blade, meaning he had completely fused with it, sharing both glory and loss.

Yet he never imagined that under such circumstances, he couldn’t stop the leader-level beast.

After arrogantly glancing at Wang Zhan, the leader-level beast waved its hand, causing the black longsword in the sky to fall into its palm, coldly saying: "What’s wrong? Can’t hold on anymore?"

Wang Zhan clenched his fist and said, furrowing his brow, "You old bastard, you don’t even know how many years you’ve lived, your cultivation is unfathomable. What’s the point of arguing with me here?"

"If you really have the skills, then kill me now?"

The leader-level beast’s face changed in an instant, and it raised the black longsword, aiming it at Wang Zhan. "Then go to hell!"

In the next second, as the black longsword was about to reach Wang Zhan’s neck, a sudden twist occurred!

Wang Zhan quickly pulled out two black beads from his chest and unexpectedly hurled them towards the leader-level beast!

The leader-level beast hadn’t reacted yet, but seeing the two black beads reaching him, he instinctively raised the black longsword to his chest, because he could sense the terrifying power contained within those black beads!

Yet despite this, when the black beads touched the longsword, they exploded with a roar.

Jiang Yin hadn’t reacted yet, but saw Wang Zhan quickly rushing to him, knocking him to the ground, and shouting in his ear, "Watch out!"

Suddenly, the entire space trembled quite violently.

The two black beads detonated, sending the leader-level beast flying several meters away, his body charred black, even blood flowing from wounds.

Jagged gashes were extremely terrifying!

Amid the cacophony of explosions, Wang Zhan also slowly got up, glanced at the leader-level beast, and his face changed. He clenched his fist and said, frowning, "Damn it. I didn’t expect under these circumstances, he could still hold on?"

In an instant, Wang Zhan didn’t dare to hesitate. He grabbed Jiang Yin’s shoulder and quickly ran toward the distant forest.

Behind him, the leader-level beast kept roaring angrily: "You damn bastard, how dare you scheme against me? I will never let you go. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will capture you and crush your bones piece by piece, making it better to die than to live!"

...

Half an hour later.

Wang Zhan and Jiang Yin had already escaped from the forest and were now sitting quietly on a high peak.

After several hours of resting, the two finally regained some composure.

It must be said that the recent battle had indeed consumed much of Wang Zhan’s energy. If it weren’t for the last two beads helping him regain some control, he would have been killed by the leader-level beast.

Beside him, Jiang Yin was already awake. He glanced at Wang Zhan and said calmly, "I guess we’ve already angered that leader-level beast. Should we hurry back to Flying Cloud City next?"

"If a leader-level beast gets angry, I suppose it would immediately attack everyone in Flying Cloud City. Without our help, those people can’t hold out."

Wang Zhan slowly opened his eyes. He stood up, glanced at the distant forest, and, seeing no movement, felt relieved. Then, he turned to Jiang Yin and said, "Even if we return to Flying Cloud City, we can’t stop the leader-level beast. I think you’ve seen its power. It’s best for us to retreat for now."

Jiang Yin nodded heavily, still feeling a lingering fear when thinking about the recent battle.

Having made up their minds, the two didn’t hesitate and quickly headed towards Flying Cloud City.

Half an hour later, atop the Flying Cloud City’s tower.

Wang Zhan and Jiang Yin appeared simultaneously, and Xiang Tian, who was guarding the city wall, excitedly walked over to them. He grabbed Jiang Yin’s hand and quickly said, "I knew you wouldn’t abandon us and leave."

"Stop saying so much nonsense."

Wang Zhan patted Xiang Tian’s shoulder and said, "First, gather everyone in Flying Cloud City, and then ask them to pack up and get ready to leave here."

"Leave?"

Xiang Tian’s face changed, and he looked at Wang Zhan curiously, asking, "Did something happen?"

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes, glanced into the distance, and frowned, saying, "Just now, the two of us went outside Flying Cloud City where the leader-level beast is. We even fought, but the result was not ideal. Even with us joining forces, we weren’t his match, and there are countless General-level beasts and soldier-level beasts there as well. Now that he’s enraged, it won’t be long before he leads the beasts toward Flying Cloud City. After all, within several hundred miles, there is only this city."

"So quickly have everyone pack up and leave immediately."

Xiang Tian realized the seriousness of the situation and didn’t dare hesitate. He quickly headed back.

Wang Zhan waved to Han Junxiong nearby, and with a worried face, asked, "Has Luo Xue not returned yet?"

At that time, Wang Zhan and Luo Xue parted ways. One went to the beast’s camp while the other went to Tianxiong City to find reinforcements, preparing for a decisive battle.

Given the situation at that time, this was indeed the best plan, but now it is clearly not the best time for a decisive battle.

After all, the leader-level beast is too powerful, and even Wang Zhan can’t withstand him.

It means that if they really enter the battlefield, no one can stop the leader-level beast.

Han Junxiong shook his head and said, "Based on the pace, she should have just arrived at Tianxiong City."

Wang Zhan’s face changed, and he quickly took out the map and began to examine the surrounding terrain.

There are different routes from Flying Cloud City to Tianxiong City, so if they miss each other, Luo Xue and others might return to Flying Cloud City, facing countless beasts.

Naturally, it would lead to heavy casualties, with corpses strewn everywhere.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan lightly tapped his forehead, then looked at Jiang Yin beside him, and commanded, "To avoid separating from Luo Xue, we will split into three paths."

"I’ve meticulously examined the surrounding terrain. There’s a three-path junction that is difficult to traverse but saves a lot of time. As for the mainland route, it’s more standard, and there’s also a waterway. All three paths are essential connections between the two cities."

"Your skills are in the first rank among us, so you take some capable people along the waterway. Although the waterway is hard to navigate and slower, it would be troublesome if beasts chase us."

"I trust you on this route."
