Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 629 - 627: Unexpected Events_1

She knew clearly that even if she used her strength to be among them, she was still being protected and might even continue to hold Wang Zhan back. Moreover, as long as she could follow Wang Zhan, that would be enough. She did not demand much.

Xiang Tian nodded heavily, looked at Luo Xue gratefully before he declared, "All right, since Luo Xue even says so, don't be hesitant anymore. Hurry up and enter the ruins with Luo Tianhong to search for treasure."

"If your strength increases substantially, it will benefit everyone present."

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. They had already left the fifth war zone, yet they didn't know where they were. However, one thing was certain: danger lurked everywhere on the Star War Battlefield. Once they left, if Xiang Tian and Luo Xue encountered dangerous beasts, escaping would be extremely difficult.

Luo Tianhong glanced at him and continued, "What on earth are you thinking about? Your companions have already said so. Do you still intend to waste time here? Let me tell you, the Seven-star Barrier might be broken, and the entrance to the ruins might have appeared, but if we do not seize the time, the barrier will close again. If you want to enter then, it won't be easy."

However, just as Wang Zhan and Luo Tianhong prepared to enter the ruins, a cold sneer suddenly sounded from behind them. "Oh ho, I never thought that humble humans would find the ruins and even open the entrance of the Seven-star Barrier?"

"This is indeed interesting. It looks like humans are developing quite quickly. I thought they were just a bunch of wine sacks and rice bags."

Hearing this voice, Wang Zhan and the others swiftly turned around. Everyone's faces changed at the sight of a humanoid demonic beast standing before them.

Although the demonic beast appeared similar to them, Wang Zhan and the others could discern the differences at a glance. After all, even if a demonic beast transformed into a human, it couldn't hide its monstrous aura.

"So, it's just two Thousand Illusion Beasts," Luo Tianhong said, crossing his arms, his face full of contempt.

"Thousand Illusion Beasts?"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. Although he had only been on the Star War Battlefield for a short time, he had spent a considerable amount of time with Bai Yu and others. Thus, he had a basic understanding of many of the demonic beasts lurking around the fifth war zone and beneath the current interface.

The Thousand Illusion Beast, a level 2 beast, was trickier than ordinary level 2 beasts. After all, it could transform into any form at will. Not only did it possess the robust constitution of a demonic beast, but it could also take on the appearance of a human, blend into a crowd, and deal a fatal blow.

"I didn't expect these humble humans to know my name."

The Thousand Illusion Beast glanced at its companion, then broke into a grin. "I get it now—these worthless humans must have been learning about us, probably even considering how to find our weaknesses. That's why they understand us so well. But, it must be said, trash will always be trash. Their means are simply too weak. Even if they know our identities, what can they do about it?"

"And this mere Martial King in front of me is simply not worth mentioning."

The Thousand Illusion Beast's face was filled with scorn. Obviously, it did not take Wang Zhan seriously, let alone the other three. Luo Tianhong's constitution was unique, and no one could discern his true cultivation. As for Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, their cultivation was far inferior to Wang Zhan's. The beasts even scorned Wang Zhan, so why would they care about Xiang Tian and Luo Xue?

Wang Zhan's gaze gradually turned cold, and a large Deep Fire Blade suddenly appeared in his hand, indicating his readiness for combat.

Meanwhile, Xiang Tian gradually stepped behind Wang Zhan. He shouldn't act impulsively at this moment. He was injured, and Wang Zhan would not let him throw his life away needlessly. If he were attacked, it would inevitably affect Wang Zhan. Therefore, he had to hide behind the others, allowing Wang Zhan to fight without reservations.

"Enough, stop with the pointless posturing in front of me. You're simply wasting time."

The Thousand Illusion Beast disdainfully watched Wang Zhan as he wielded his weapon, the corner of its mouth even curling into a shallow smile. The gap between them was simply too large. It couldn't believe Wang Zhan had the ability to fight it.

After all, a level 2 beast could rampage across the entire interface. Thus, a mere Wang Zhan meant nothing to them.

Luo Tianhong, on the other hand, had been standing with his arms crossed the whole time. He glanced at Wang Zhan beside him before saying, "I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to consider me your comrade? If you miss this chance, I believe the price the three of you will pay is your lives."

After all, two level 2 beasts stood before them. In other words, their current circumstances were similar to the situation they had faced on the defense line that day. So, just as before, Wang Zhan was no match for two level 2 beasts now. What awaited them was nothing but death—it was just a matter of time.

"You're still thinking of threatening me, aren't you?" Wang Zhan gave Luo Tianhong a disgruntled look and gritted his teeth. "Even if I die here, I wouldn't beg you for help, not even once!"

"Why are you so stubborn? Just admit that we're on the same team. Is it really that hard? Remember, we joined forces to open the Seven-star Barrier, and I'm even planning to take you into the ruins. You're really letting my kindness go to waste."

"But I'm not the type to beg, either. If you don't want my help, I won't waste my time here. The Seven-star Barrier will only remain open for a limited time. If we enter late and the barrier closes, accessing the ruins won't be simple."

"I believe you're aware of all this. I won't waste any more time talking nonsense."

After speaking, Luo Tianhong turned to leave, but Xiang Tian quickly stepped beside him, his face pleading. "Wait! I'll apologize on behalf of Brother Wang."

He understood Wang Zhan's character clearly. Although Xiang Tian used to be as fearless as Wang Zhan, the situation was different now. If Luo Tianhong left, they would struggle to get away. He absolutely could not hold Wang Zhan back again.

"What? Willing to ask for my help now?" Luo Tianhong squinted at Wang Zhan, completely ignoring Xiang Tian beside him.

Xiang Tian nodded firmly, then said, "Since we've all come this far, it shows we're linked by fate. We also just opened the Seven-star Barrier together. You couldn't just stand by and watch us die, could you?"

However, before Luo Tianhong could respond, one of the Thousand Illusion Beasts approached them impatiently, its cold voice echoing in their ears, "What are you dawdling around here for? Did you think I was playing house with you?"

The two Thousand Illusion Beasts also wanted the treasures inside the ruins. They knew that the level barrier within the Seven-Star Barrier would close soon, so their priority was to eliminate the humans before them as quickly as possible and enter the ruins.

With this in mind, the Thousand Illusion Beast didn't waste any more time talking. It quickly rose and rushed towards Luo Xue, who was the weakest.

The other demonic beast also didn't waste time and hurriedly charged towards Wang Zhan.

The two of them had clearly defined their targets, each finding a breakthrough point. Wang Zhan also acted decisively. He raised his Deep Fire Blade, and as the blade was slowly lifted, fiery Fire Dragons began to roam the surrounding Sky.

The next second, the fiery Fire Dragons, seemingly with minds of their own, swiftly descended upon the Thousand Illusion Beast.

After all, they had to use every trick they knew. Only a one-hit kill could buy them some time.

But it had to be said, Wang Zhan's attack, though fierce, was still nothing in the eyes of the Thousand Illusion Beast. After all, there was a huge cultivation difference between them. The Thousand Illusion Beast was a level 2 beast; how could its cultivation be matched by Wang Zhan?

Fortunately, even if Wang Zhan was no match for the Thousand Illusion Beast, the beast would still find it difficult to eliminate him quickly.

In fact, if it weren't for Xiang Tian and Luo Xue beside him, Wang Zhan would have had a fairly good chance of escaping unharmed.

Not far away, the other beast had approached Xiang Tian. It quickly raised its hand, and streaks of light gradually appeared on it, causing the surrounding space to vibrate.

"Insignificant ants, die now!"

Without any hesitation, the demonic beast directed its vast energy towards Xiang Tian.

Seeing that Xiang Tian was about to be seriously injured by the demonic beast before him, Wang Zhan, not far away, also noticed. The Deep Fire Blade in his hand immediately shot out, speeding towards the demonic beast's body.

BOOM!

With a loud roar, the Deep Fire Blade quickly reached Xiang Tian's side. Then, fiery Fire Dragons spread out from the blade, rushing towards the beast.

The demonic beast also sensed the danger and subconsciously retreated a few steps, allowing Xiang Tian to narrowly escape.
