Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 616 - 614 Gathering of Everyone_1

A glimmer of despair appeared in Luo Xue’s eyes. She never expected Luo Feng to have changed in such a way. She saw Wang Zhan nearby and spoke up, "Brother Wang, don’t waste any more time. He has obviously gone mad. I have no hopes left in my heart. Since we siblings are destined to step into the Netherworld together, please grant us this."

Luo Feng, on the other hand, was coldly watching Luo Xue, wishing he could strangle her then and there. After all, at a time like this, she was still feigning innocence?

Wang Zhan clenched his fists and gripped the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. Of course, he wouldn’t strike Luo Xue. Even though Luo Feng deserved to die, Luo Xue didn’t need to pay with her life.

Zi Yuan continued to stare intently at Luo Feng. She slightly narrowed her eyes, and her gaze fell on Wang Zhan. The two seemed to communicate a message through their eyes. Luo Feng tightened his grip on Luo Xue’s neck, raised his voice and warned, "You two better not try any tricks, or I will kill her right now! Although she values sibling affection, I don’t care about such things. I just want to leave this place!"

Luo Feng was nearly roaring, his eyes filled with ferocity. He hardly cared about familial affection; he just wanted to get out of here alive. After all, he had just entered the ruins, even obtained the secret techniques hidden within. So, why would he give up his life now?

"Brother Wang! Hurry up and make a move!" Luo Xue kept urging, clearly having made up her mind to die. She knew very well that it was impossible for Wang Zhan to spare Luo Feng after everything he had done. Although Luo Feng was ruthless, Luo Xue couldn’t be unrighteous. The same blood flowed in their veins; that fact wouldn’t change!

The next moment, Wang Zhan suddenly clenched his fists. With the Deep Fire Blade in hand, he charged towards Luo Feng, while Zi Yuan nearby also moved swiftly. In an instant, the two had flanked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng didn’t have time to react; he felt a gust of wind on his face, and Wang Zhan and Zi Yuan were now right before him!

Luo Feng’s face turned ghastly. There was no time for him to consider much. Since they disregarded Luo Xue’s life, he didn’t need to go easy either. He tightened his fist and aimed a vicious blow at Luo Xue’s head, yelling, "Since you’re prepared to accompany me to the Netherworld, let’s go together as siblings!"

Luo Feng burst into crazed laughter. His real purpose wasn’t to die with Luo Xue. After all, he was now protected by secret techniques, so why would he easily give up his life here? Wasn’t that a joke?

He merely wanted to use Luo Xue to force Wang Zhan and Zi Yuan to act, hoping that if they shifted their focus from attacking him, he would have enough time to escape quickly. Thinking everything through, he once again increased the strength of his grip. He must first seriously injure Luo Xue to make Wang Zhan and Zi Yuan halt their pursuit!

Everything was within Luo Feng’s calculations. He had overlooked only one thing—the speed of Wang Zhan and Zi Yuan was just too fast. He could confront Zi Yuan, but in the long run, he was no match for her. Wang Zhan, however, was even faster, reaching him in just a few steps. He immediately swung the Deep Fire Blade, slashing down at Luo Feng swiftly!

In fact, Luo Feng, having always been on the defense line, was well aware of Wang Zhan’s capabilities. He had even witnessed Wang Zhan taking down the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast!

That frightening strength not only amazed him but shocked everyone around. As such, it was not only Luo Feng who was intimidated by Wang Zhan; everyone in the camp was also terrified of his capabilities!

The next second, when Luo Feng wanted to react, there was no time left. The Deep Fire Blade in Wang Zhan’s hand was already descending upon him. He swiftly pulled back the hand that was striking at Luo Xue, gathered the dark energy around his body, and swung it towards Wang Zhan.

However, as the dark energy approached Wang Zhan, Wang Zhan’s attack didn’t falter in the slightest. The Deep Fire Blade in his hand unleashed streams of Fire Dragons that instantly surrounded Luo Feng! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

There was no time for Luo Feng to retreat. All he could do was widen his eyes and beg, "Mr. Wang, I truly realize my mistake! Please, for my sister’s sake, spare me! Let me stay at the camp and serve everyone. I assure you, with my means, I can definitely contribute!"

"HEH..." Wang Zhan laughed coldly. "So, how should we settle the matter of the person you killed last night? Don’t we owe that person an explanation? We all have flesh and blood, born and raised by our parents, yet you committed such a shameful act. Do you really think I’d let you go?"

Wang Zhan had also been hesitating just moments before. After all, Luo Feng was Luo Xue’s brother. If he were to kill Luo Feng, it would naturally cause Luo Xue psychological trauma. But after seeing Luo Feng’s demeanor, Wang Zhan was no longer prepared to show mercy. Such a ruthless and ungrateful wretch was truly not worth letting live!

With that thought, Wang Zhan showed no hesitation. His Deep Fire Blade was used to its fullest, numerous Fire Dragons piercing through Luo Feng’s body!

Amidst cries of agony, Luo Feng lost his life energy and then dissipated, disappearing from the top of the defense line. What puzzled Wang Zhan was that after Luo Feng died, a wisp of black smoke unexpectedly appeared from his body and quickly vanished into the darkness. It was, admittedly, a bit eerie.

However, Wang Zhan did not dwell on it at that moment. After glancing at Luo Xue beside him, he quickly walked over to her and inquired, "Are you okay?"

If Wang Zhan had not acted swiftly, Luo Xue would have suffered severe injuries, if not died, in such a critical moment. This showed just how ruthless Luo Feng was; for his own survival, he was even ready to sacrifice his own sister’s life!

Luo Xue responded with a wooden shake of her head. She stood where Luo Feng had died, looking rather pale. Soon after, she began to cry. Although Luo Feng had done some wrong things, Luo Xue was, after all, his younger sister, and in her eyes, she had always regarded Luo Feng as her older brother. He had been very kind to her throughout the years, despite his shady practices. This was one of the main reasons for Luo Xue’s grief.

"You saw what just happened. If I hadn’t killed him, you would most likely be lying in a bloody puddle by now. Also, yesterday’s victim was killed by Luo Feng, so the matter had to be settled. After all, there are so many eyes on the defense line, and the victim from last night had teammates. So, even if I hadn’t killed Luo Feng, their anger would not have been easily appeased," Wang Zhan simply explained the stakes.

However, Luo Xue appeared to ignore his words entirely, bowing her head, lost in thought.

Wang Zhan knew that she needed some time to process everything. He motioned towards Zi Yuan beside him and said, "Luo Xue most likely won’t sleep tonight. You should arrange for some people to stay with her. Although we’ve dealt with Luo Feng, his means were indeed somewhat strange. I fear there may be subsequent incidents. Now that someone has already died on this defense line, we absolutely cannot allow anyone else to suffer an accident."

Zi Yuan instantly nodded in agreement. "Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything here. Besides, we women can communicate more easily. If you stay here, it might cause unnecessary complications."

Wang Zhan nodded in acknowledgment; he understood Zi Yuan’s intentions. She simply wanted him to rest and gather his energy, given that a major battle was imminent and there was absolutely no time to waste.

Soon, Wang Zhan returned to his room. The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, they resumed fortifying the defenses. After forty-eight hours of preparations, the defense line was back to its original state. Although it wasn’t indestructible, it possessed great defensive capabilities.

Wang Zhan had gone to look for Luo Xue, but she had not returned the entire night. When he arrived at the place where Luo Feng had died, Luo Xue was still nowhere to be seen. Not far away, Zi Yuan, noticing him approach, said, "She has gone to sleep in another military tent. Don’t worry, everything has been arranged. I believe she will slowly come to terms with it. Don’t let these trivial matters bother you."

Wang Zhan nodded without uttering another word.

During the next day, Wang Zhan’s people continued to survey the surrounding situation. With various problems still plaguing the area around the defense line, Wang Zhan needed to nip them all in the bud.

He needed to get everything sorted before the Xuanlong Beast returned. Only then could he face the Xuanlong Beast in a life-or-death battle without any reservations.

Time passed, second by second, and twenty-four hours went by in the blink of an eye. To everyone’s delight, the long-awaited Zhu Xu and Mu Bing finally arrived.

「Inside the main camp.」

Wang Zhan and the others were sitting around a table, warming themselves by a fire. Zhu Xu and Mu Bing sat on either side. Since Xiang Tian had taken over Bai Yu’s position, Bai Yu had already returned to the defense line. Zi Yuan was also seated nearby. Everyone was now present, all aware that the major battle was imminent.
