Chapter 852: Chapter 850: Skyfire Venerable

"What? Are you scared?"

Obviously, Huo Xuan Yi also heard the conversation among the few people.

After glancing at them, Xu Xu began to speak slowly: "It’s good you know fear, obediently surrender and I might spare you, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude."

Upon hearing these words, Xiang Tian’s face immediately changed. He clenched his fist, then widened his eyes and said word by word: "Brother Wang, enough chatter with him. Even if his reinforcements arrive, you have the ability to kill him, act quickly!"

Wang Zhan, in mid-air, did not hesitate at all. He quickly raised the Great Void Divine Sword, a sword light descended, directly striking Huo Xuan Yi.

The next second, Huo Xuan Yi was seen falling to one side, heavily smashing onto the ground.

Several wounds appeared on his body.

With a cold gaze at Wang Zhan, he immediately clenched his fist, shouting word by word: "Damn bastard."

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, "Didn’t expect this guy to withstand it?"

Just now, he had used eighty percent of his power, but never expected Huo Xuan Yi could block that sword, proving Huo Xuan Yi’s strength is remarkable.

It goes to show how terrifying the people within Skyfire Mountain are.

Sword Spirit slightly frowned, looked at Wang Zhan, then said in a deep voice: "I can sense it, those people are rapidly approaching us, don’t get bogged down in battle, leave quickly."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Zhan heavily nodded, then glanced at the two beside Xiang Tian and said, "Retreat!"

However, just as they were about to leave, a Fire Light from above fell, crashing heavily toward them!

With imposing momentum!

"Not good!"

Wang Zhan uttered a low cry, quickly gave a signal to Xiang Tian, and hurriedly said, "You leave first."

Xiang Tian and the two did not hesitate. After all, staying here would only be a burden to Wang Zhan, leaving first is the greatest help to him.

In the blink of an eye, the two had swiftly headed outside Skyfire Mountain.

Wang Zhan stood arrogantly in place, glanced at the approaching elder, and coldly said, "I have no intention of being enemies with your Skyfire Mountain, but your people keep pressing, forcing me into a desperate situation, so I have no choice but to act."

Though Wang Zhan is not afraid of trouble, this is the most dangerous place in the Star War Battlefield, and it’s someone else’s territory, he needs to use his brain and definitely shouldn’t act impulsively.

"Skyfire Venerable!"

Huo Xuan Yi immediately looked toward the elder and shouted: "Skyfire Venerable, quickly kill him, definitely can’t let this kid leave!"

Skyfire Venerable ignored Huo Xuan Yi’s words, his gaze fell on Wang Zhan. After slightly squinting his eyes, he said slowly, "At such a young age, able to step into the ranks of Stellar-level experts, shows your talent is excellent, presumably you have backing, right?"

"But I don’t care about your master or where you learn from, but since you’ve harmed our people, you naturally need to pay a certain price, of course, I can show you a bright path, just don’t know if you’re willing?"

Wang Zhan slightly frowned, "What bright path?"

"Simple."

Skyfire Venerable said calmly: "Currently within our Skyfire Mountain, we are also recruiting talents to oversee us. If you are willing to join our camp, I can let today’s matter go, and won’t hold you accountable, even gifting you some Treasures and Pills, but if you’re stubborn and obstinate, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Zhan’s lips curled into a cold smile, obviously not taking Skyfire Venerable’s words seriously.

Standing aside, Sword Spirit glanced at Wang Zhan, then whispered: "Do not believe this guy’s words. I can sense he’s only at the Stellar-level full state, hasn’t broken through beyond Stellar-level, so if you want to go head-to-head with him, it’s not without opportunity. Presumably, he knows this himself, that’s why he offers you an olive branch."

Wang Zhan nodded, then raised the Great Void Divine Sword, aiming at Skyfire Venerable, then said: "Since that’s the case, it seems I have no other choice, don’t waste time, act now."

"I’d also like to see what level the experts in Skyfire Mountain are at."

Skyfire Venerable slightly frowned, looked at Wang Zhan, then said in a deep voice: "Kid, it seems you really are prepared to go head-to-head with me?"

As he spoke, figures appeared behind Skyfire Venerable.

Then, they had already appeared in front of Skyfire Venerable.

"Skyfire Venerable, why bother with this nonsense?"

One of them directly said: "Such an arrogant person, just kill him. No need to talk much, save us time."

The remaining nodded in agreement.

Skyfire Venerable waved his hand, gaze fell on Wang Zhan, then said: "See? You are now the target of public criticism. If I hadn’t been protecting you, these people would have already acted against you. A good tiger can’t resist a pack of wolves, especially with my assistance, you’re definitely not our match."

"So perhaps it’s better to abandon darkness for light, early allegiance to my Skyfire Mountain, isn’t it wonderful?"

Ha...

Wang Zhan shook his head with a cold laugh, directly raising the Great Void Divine Sword in his hand, and a sword light suddenly descended!

In just an instant, a bottomless chasm appeared on the ground.

Wang Zhan arrogantly looked at the people in front of him, then opened his mouth word by word: "Enough with the nonsense, if you want to fight, then fight."

After exchanging glances, all their faces turned considerably grim.

Clearly, just through this one move by Wang Zhan, it was already evident where his strength lay.

"Something’s not right..."

The Sword Spirit lowered its voice again, glanced at Wang Zhan, and then said, "It seems like they’re stalling for time?"

"You mean, there’s another expert preparing to come this way?"

A trace of seriousness appeared on Wang Zhan’s face.

After all, a single Skyfire Venerable was already extraordinarily troublesome, and if more joined the fray, the situation might worsen further.

The Sword Spirit nodded and said, "I can sense it; it seems like another expert is rapidly approaching us. With the deep resources within Skyfire Mountain, there are probably some old monsters. We shouldn’t linger here too long."

"How should we leave?"

Wang Zhan slightly frowned.

With a Skyfire Venerable eyeing him like prey, and a group of formidable experts surrounding him, he was clearly caught in a tight trap. If he fled for his life, they would undoubtedly chase relentlessly, leading to even greater consumption of his energy.

If another strong enemy drew near, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I don’t think they will fight you to the death."

The Sword Spirit said quickly, "So, if anyone dares to block your path, you should use a thunderous means to instantly kill them. After all, those at Skyfire Mountain are all officials; their core forces probably won’t appear easily. We can exploit their personality weakness, that is, they are cowardly, which can buy us quite a bit of time."

At this moment, Wang Zhan couldn’t think of a better plan.

After nodding without the slightest hesitation, he turned and headed back.

A Skyfire Mountain expert in the distance exclaimed, "He’s leaving!"

"We absolutely cannot let him leave just like that!"

The Skyfire Venerable gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Let’s all move together to temporarily block him. As long as we stall for some time, our reinforcements will arrive. Then, none of us will have to expend too much energy to take him down."

Everyone nodded, and they all rushed toward Wang Zhan frantically.

Sitting on the ground, Huo Xuan Yi was clutching his chest, looking at the blood on his hands. With a cold glare, he looked at Wang Zhan and gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn bastard, today you will die. You dare wound me so heavily, I will make your death extremely miserable when the time comes."

Meanwhile.

Wang Zhan had already fallen into a chase with the people from Skyfire Mountain.

In a blink, someone had already reached behind Wang Zhan.

However, just as that person was about to make a move, Wang Zhan preemptively raised the Great Void Divine Sword, and a fire light fell violently. The next second, that person toppled straight to the ground, his face horribly grim, lacking even the strength to rise again.

And the strongest among the Skyfire Venerable remained steadfastly behind the group.

Clearly, everything was as the Sword Spirit had said: these people were hoping others would first deplete their strength while they preserved their power. It indeed gave Wang Zhan a chance to catch his breath.

Seeing Wang Zhan take out a person with one strike, the Skyfire Venerable’s face turned much more serious.

And the people beside him also slowed down, not daring to approach Wang Zhan further.

"Useless losers!"

The Skyfire Venerable shouted, suddenly accelerating as he raised his hand, swiftly attacking Wang Zhan’s back!

He was clearly going for a decisive kill.

Though Wang Zhan was fleeing, he kept a constant eye on the Skyfire Venerable. As the Skyfire Venerable’s fist was about to land on his back, Wang Zhan quickly turned, raising the Great Void Divine Sword to defend his chest.

With a loud bang, the next moment saw the Skyfire Venerable being sent flying backward.

However, Wang Zhan was also not in good shape. After retreating a few steps, he felt his internal energy churning violently in his chest.

Clearly, he too was heavily wounded.

After all, his strength was on par with the Skyfire Venerable, and upon clashing head-on, he could not gain any advantage.
