Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 619 - 617 Unprecedented Test_1

With no companions nearby, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu had no reservations. They just needed to give it their all, since only beasts would be affected by their attacks. This situation was entirely advantageous for them, with no downsides.

However, the Xuanlong Beast seemed unconcerned, showing no pity even when its attacks caught other beasts. Its assaults grew most violent, its sole focus being to eliminate Wang Zhan and Bai Yu as swiftly as possible. After all, it knew very well that Wang Zhan was the most powerful individual on the defence. If it could defeat him here, breaking into the fifth war zone would be merely a matter of time, accomplished effortlessly.

The Xuanlong Beast assumed Wang Zhan was preparing his most powerful strike, but it never imagined Wang Zhan was merely feinting. In an instant, Wang Zhan retreated from the battlefield, and Bai Yu, understanding Wang Zhan's intentions, withdrew at the same time. Neither seemed willing to confront the Xuanlong Beast head-on.

When the Xuanlong Beast detected their movements, its expression instantly became most unsightly; it had clearly been tricked by the pair. By the time it reacted, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu had already sped far away. The Xuanlong Beast roared in fury, its gaze falling upon the beasts before it. "You bunch of useless losers!" it bellowed. "What are you still doing standing around for? Hurry up and chase them! If you let them escape, I'll chop every last one of you into pieces!"

The Xuanlong Beast was extremely brutal, and the assembled beasts, naturally terrified, didn't hesitate. In an instant, they surged rapidly in the direction Wang Zhan and Bai Yu had fled.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu were rapidly approaching the defence.

Just moments ago, I was wracking my brain for ways to deal with the Xuanlong Beast, Wang Zhan thought. But even giving it my all, I'm no match for it. I have a feeling the Xuanlong Beast has become most formidable lately, making it significantly more troublesome to handle. Although Bai Yu is with me, his overall combat power is far inferior to mine. If we clash head-on with the Xuanlong Beast, we'll likely both suffer heavy injuries, and Bai Yu might not even survive.

Wang Zhan's gaze fell on Bai Yu. "Our priority now is to unite with the remaining War Gods. Trying to deal with a Xuanlong Beast with just the two of us is by no means an easy task!"

I might have ways to stall the Xuanlong Beast, Wang Zhan considered, but if this drags on, I know I'm ultimately no match for it. Eventually, I'll be defeated. At that point, no one on the entire defense line will be able to withstand the Xuanlong Beast. When it descends upon the battlefield, everyone will be forced to scatter. Even if some are prepared to fight it head-on, they'll only end up buried here.

"Even with both of us, we can't fight the Xuanlong Beast?" Bai Yu, who hadn't yet used his trump card, frowned. "What exactly are you afraid of? So what if we risk our lives to take down one Xuanlong Beast? If it really comes to it, I'll self-destruct!"

Wang Zhan shot Bai Yu a glare and said in a low voice, "Just do as I say. I've already assessed the situation carefully. Among that horde of beasts, only the Xuanlong Beast can be considered our true enemy; the others are utterly insignificant. So, even if several of us War Gods team up to face one Xuanlong Beast on the battlefield, we can still manage the situation. However, if you and I forcibly engage the Xuanlong Beast alone, we'll likely be annihilated by it!"

"Then why not choose an easier method instead of taking such a risk?" Bai Yu fell silent and turned his face away. We still had a chance to fight just now, he thought. But since Wang Zhan had spoken so decisively, he couldn't argue further. After all, on the current battlefield, everyone had to obey Wang Zhan's arrangements. This was the consensus they had all reached, so not even Bai Yu dared to defy this command.

However, just as the two of them neared the defence, the expressions of Wang Zhan and Bai Yu instantly became most grim. To their utter astonishment, the people on the defense line were already engaged in combat with beasts! And amidst the crowd, there was an exceedingly powerful presence! Its strength could even rival that of the Xuanlong Beast!

Wang Zhan's expression instantly became most grave. After exchanging a look with Bai Yu, they transformed into two streaks of light, speeding towards the battlefield. At that moment, in the center of the distant battlefield, a colossal figure roared incessantly towards the sky, its roars accompanied by waves of power as ferocious as thunder!

"Could this big guy be a giant demonic beast?" Wang Zhan had reached Bai Yu's side, and the two quickly regrouped. Zhu Xu and Mu Bing had both sustained minor injuries. Wang Zhan could see their wounds weren't severe, but it was uncertain what would happen if they continued to fight this big guy. And Wang Zhan recognized at a glance just what kind of monstrous thing this big guy before them was!

Zhu Xu nodded grimly, gritting his teeth. "We thought one Xuanlong Beast was troublesome enough, but who would have expected a giant demonic beast to show up here too? Now things have really gotten terrible."

The giant demonic beast, like the Xuanlong Beast, was a level 2 beast of extreme power. Even if several of them joined forces, they would be no match for these two!

Wang Zhan's expression also instantly became most strained. Glancing at Zhu Xu beside him, he gritted his teeth and said in a low, grave voice, "Bai Yu and I just clashed with the Xuanlong Beast. It seems to have gained a significant power boost recently. Even teamed up, Bai Yu and I might not be its match. Only by risking our lives do we stand a chance to fight it."

Although Wang Zhan spoke this way, I'm not actually prepared to fight the Xuanlong Beast to the death, he thought. I've only just arrived on the Star War Battlefield. How could I throw my life away here?

Zhu Xu asked, "You mean the Xuanlong Beast will be here on the battlefield soon?" The giant demonic beast before them was already a handful. If the Xuanlong Beast also arrived, the defense line would completely collapse under their combined assault, and everyone would be slaughtered by the two beasts.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time," Mu Bing interjected, stepping forward with his gaze fixed on the giant demonic beast. "Since the Xuanlong Beast hasn't arrived yet, let's use this chance to team up and kill the giant demonic beast. That might be our only hope of survival!"

But Wang Zhan frowned. "I'm afraid it's too late." At his words, everyone looked up. In the distance, the Xuanlong Beast was already leading a vast horde of beasts, Xu Xu approaching!

At this sight, everyone's expression became most grim.

Zhu Xu clenched his fists. He glanced at the others around him and said through gritted teeth, "It has come to this. Even if we're no match for them, we cannot simply abandon the defense line! There are so many people relying on us behind this line. We can't retreat now!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and prepared to advance towards the Xuanlong Beast and the giant demonic beast.

Just as they were about to move, Wang Zhan stepped in front of them. "If I can hold off the Xuanlong Beast," he asked in a solemn tone, "are you confident you can stop the giant demonic beast?"

"This..." They exchanged glances, their expressions becoming most troubled. Stopping the Xuanlong Beast was no simple task. Although they knew Wang Zhan was powerful, he was only at the Martial King Realm. The Xuanlong Beast, however, was a level 2 demonic beast. From a certain perspective, how could a Martial King possibly be a match for a level 2 demonic beast? Even if Wang Zhan had numerous trump cards, confronting the Xuanlong Beast would be incredibly difficult.

Bai Yu stepped up beside Wang Zhan. "Then let the two of us take on the Xuanlong Beast together," he said. "The others can all focus on the giant demonic beast."

The others nodded. With Bai Yu by Wang Zhan's side, their chances of success against the Xuanlong Beast would indeed increase. They didn't know if the two of them could defeat it, but they could certainly delay it. However, they seemed to have overlooked one crucial issue...

But while they hadn't noticed this problem, Wang Zhan had. He shook his head. "No. If you join me, the two of us combined might be able to contend with the Xuanlong Beast. But then how would we deal with the giant demonic beast? The remaining three alone are definitely no match for it; at best, they could only buy some time. And even together, you and I can't eliminate the Xuanlong Beast quickly. The final outcome would be all five of us perishing here permanently."

Wang Zhan had already identified the flaw in that plan. He patted Bai Yu's shoulder, his heart filled with gratitude. Bai Yu is clearly worried about me, he thought, but this isn't the time for sentimentality.

He looked at Bai Yu again before saying, "Alright! Stop being so hesitant. Since I dare to face the Xuanlong Beast alone, it means I have absolute confidence. Don't worry. Even if I can't defeat the Xuanlong Beast, it won't be an easy task for it to kill me either."

Before Bai Yu could reply, Wang Zhan had already shot towards the Xuanlong Beast. We have to stop either the Xuanlong Beast or the giant demonic beast now, he thought. Only then can we buy some time for the other four. Yet, deep down, Wang Zhan still lacked any real confidence; whether the four of them together could even handle the giant demonic beast remained a significant unknown.
