Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 620 - 618: Determined to Die_1

Everyone was at the Martial King realm, but the giant demonic beast was a genuine level 2 demonic beast. Although its combat power wasn't as formidable as the Xuanlong Beast's, its defense far surpassed it. This made the giant demonic beast a problematic opponent, as the four of them might not manage to breach its defenses. If that was the case, Wang Zhan would ultimately need to intervene.

When Wang Zhan suddenly moved, Bai Yu and the others followed suit. In an instant, they were beside the giant demonic beast. Simultaneously, they all attacked, rushing towards the giant demonic beast.

Those present were all Gods of War from the fifth war zone; their methods were naturally formidable. The moment they clashed, the very air between Heaven and Earth seemed to shift and distort from their power.

Wang Zhan had also arrived before the Xuanlong Beast. Currently, the Xuanlong Beast was staring coldly at Wang Zhan, its expression incredibly grim. However, after a grim smile tugged at the corner of its mouth, it enunciated each word carefully, "Kid, I admire you. Daring to face me alone despite knowing it's impossible. You truly are an overconfident fool!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"But for your courage, I will grant you the mercy of an intact corpse. What do you think?"

A faint smile touched Wang Zhan's lips, and then he slowly said, "I truly don't know where you get such confidence. Of course, confidence itself is a good thing. We'll just have to see who gets the last laugh."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan materialized the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. Instantly, several fire dragons coiled around the blade, and a brilliant white light enveloped Wang Zhan. Clearly, his Heavenly Dragon Armor had activated, and he was ready for battle.

Wang Zhan stood proudly before the Xuanlong Beast. He promptly raised his hand, and the fire dragons on his Deep Fire Blade shot towards the Xuanlong Beast. The Xuanlong Beast, not to be outdone, swiftly formed hand seals, and a familiar light screen materialized around its body. Wang Zhan knew very well this was one of the Xuanlong Beast's defensive abilities. If he couldn't even shatter this light screen, then killing the Xuanlong Beast would be an incredibly arduous task!

Therefore, Wang Zhan held nothing back, unleashing his trump card in an instant. The first fire dragon soared into the sky and then plummeted violently onto the light screen before the Xuanlong Beast!

With a deafening crash, the Xuanlong Beast was jolted backward several steps. A faint smile touched Wang Zhan's lips. It seems that merging several fire dragons into one does indeed create a much more potent force than before!

With this thought, Wang Zhan swung his Deep Fire Blade once more, replicating the technique!

The Xuanlong Beast, refusing to be outdone, also shot into the sky. It seemed the beast no longer intended to waste time with Wang Zhan. Its earlier defensive posture was merely to show Wang Zhan the disparity in their strength. But now that Wang Zhan could shatter its defensive skill, there was no longer any need to dawdle!

As the Xuanlong Beast soared, a barrage of fierce gales instantly descended upon Wang Zhan. The Heavenly Dragon Armor on Wang Zhan's body vibrated slightly. Then, numerous silver dragons materialized, spinning rapidly around him.

While Wang Zhan and the Xuanlong Beast were locked in a heated battle, on the other side, Zhu Xu and the others had already engaged the giant demonic beast. However, they were immediately pushed into a disadvantageous position. If not for Bai Yu desperately holding his ground, they would have likely been killed by the giant demonic beast by now!

Wang Zhan caught sight of their struggle out of the corner of his eye and lost all confidence in them. It was already a stroke of luck amidst this misfortune that they were managing to delay the giant demonic beast. Expecting them to defeat it was clearly unrealistic. He had to eliminate the Xuanlong Beast as quickly as possible to seize control of the battlefield!

However, the Xuanlong Beast was exceedingly formidable; how could it be defeated so easily? Wang Zhan was already deeply entangled with the Xuanlong Beast, and both were locked in a stalemate.

Suddenly, a resounding CRACK echoed from the sky. Wang Zhan immediately retreated several steps; faint cracks had appeared on his Heavenly Dragon Armor. The Xuanlong Beast stood proudly a short distance away. At this moment, Wang Zhan fully realized that the Xuanlong Beast had been hiding its true strength!

A level 2 demonic beast is indeed incredibly powerful!

Although Wang Zhan had reached the Martial King realm, a considerable gap still existed between him and a level 2 demonic beast. Wang Zhan quickly fell back a few more steps, casting a cold glance at the Xuanlong Beast before him. He began to hesitate. Judging by the Xuanlong Beast's combat power, he was no match for it. Continuing this fight would only lead to his death at its claws!

However, withdrawing from the battlefield now wouldn't be difficult. But if he left, the Xuanlong Beast would rampage unchecked across the defense line; no one there could stop its advance. Furthermore, the giant demonic beast would also break free from their encirclement. At that point, if the giant demonic beast and the Xuanlong Beast joined forces, not only would this defense line be unable to hold, but all defense lines in the fifth war zone would collapse. The people stationed further back would inevitably become casualties, their souls lost!

Although Wang Zhan wasn't on the best of terms with everyone in the fifth war zone, he had Xiang Tian and Bai Yu with him. Besides, even if he wanted to take Xiang Tian and leave, Xiang Tian would likely refuse to abandon his loved ones, who were all in the fifth war zone. He would probably rather die than leave. So, even if he did manage to take Xiang Tian away, what then? Wouldn't Xiang Tian just end up heartbroken and grieving for no reason?

The Xuanlong Beast gave Wang Zhan no time to hesitate. In the blink of an eye, it was upon him again, launching another barrage of frenzied attacks!

Wang Zhan, however, continuously retreated, apparently trying to conserve his strength. After all, he still hadn't decided whether to clash head-on with the Xuanlong Beast!

The combatants on the battlefield were thoroughly entangled! Across the entire defense line, the ground was soaked with the fresh blood of the fifth war zone's warriors and the beasts. The air was thick with the nauseating stench of gore.

"Kid, you're not thinking about running away, are you?"

The Xuanlong Beast, observing from the side, seemed to have seen through Wang Zhan's actions. A smirk touched the corner of its mouth, and it sneered loudly, "I thought you were a man of unyielding courage, but I see that at such a critical moment, you're still thinking of self-preservation. I knew it; you humans are all the same. They say we beasts are cold-blooded, but look at you! In times of crisis, you're even more heartless than we are!"

The Xuanlong Beast's voice boomed, and everyone near Wang Zhan and the beast heard its words. Their gazes immediately fell upon Wang Zhan, filled with a mixture of emotions: mockery, disdain, some reluctance, and even pleading!

Everyone knew that if Wang Zhan were to leave the battlefield, they would face certain death. Now, all their hopes rested on Wang Zhan; he was of crucial importance.

"Stop spouting such ridiculous lies!" Wang Zhan retorted, noticing the surrounding gazes. "Do you think anyone will believe you? I stand with everyone here, to live or die together! When did I ever say I was leaving?"

At this moment, he absolutely could not let morale waver. Otherwise, it would give the beasts an opening to exploit. And then, the entire defense line would truly fall under the dominion of the beasts.

The Xuanlong Beast sneered, "You know perfectly well what you're thinking; I don't need to spell it out. Of course, if you truly wish to flee, I doubt these fools could easily stop you. However, I can offer you another option. After all, leaving won't be that simple. You'd at least have to get past me!"

The Xuanlong Beast regarded Wang Zhan with cold eyes, a frigid smile playing on its lips. Then it spoke again, "Though we are not of the same race, I can discuss with my clan about making you my second-in-command. As long as you're willing to sign a contract and serve me as your master for life, you won't have to die today!"

"Heh..."

Wang Zhan scoffed and shook his head. He had two paths before him: either leave decisively now, or eliminate the Xuanlong Beast. The latter, of course, would not be easy. But regardless, he would never side with the Xuanlong Beast. After all, back when he was on Earth, he had already witnessed the savage cruelty of the beasts. How could he possibly align himself with them? Wouldn't that be a betrayal of his own family and friends?

"Don't be so overconfident," Wang Zhan declared. "I haven't even used my trump card yet. You think you've already beaten me? Truly laughable!"

"Trump card?"

The Xuanlong Beast shook its head and scoffed, "If you had a trump card, you would've used it long ago. Why else would you let me continue to dominate you? Kid, stop trying to put on a brave face for these people. The outcome won't change, understand?"

The Xuanlong Beast was supremely confident in its own strength. While it might not be the absolute strongest among demonic beasts, dealing with a mere Wang Zhan was hardly a difficult task.

It advanced towards Wang Zhan step by step, speaking again, "I'll ask you one last time: will you surrender or not?"

Wang Zhan ignored its words, raising his Deep Fire Blade once more. At this moment, he was prepared to die fighting. Since he had already chosen to stand with the people of this war zone, to live or die together, there was no need for any lingering wishful thinking!

Instantly, ripples of energy spread out from Wang Zhan's body.
