Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 589 - 587: A Number in Mind_1

Luo Feng, standing to the side, simply held his tongue. After all, he was the one to blame in this matter. Luo Xue also glanced at Luo Feng, never having expected him to be such a person.

After all, what Uncle Qi said made sense. Wang Zhan was currently risking his life and shedding blood for them. Even if they couldn't help directly, they should at least be cheering Wang Zhan on, not making unkind remarks. Such words were so disheartening, weren't they?

Feeling deeply ashamed, Luo Feng averted his gaze and kept silent. Uncle Qi and the others also ignored him. Soon, everyone's focus returned to Wang Zhan, their hearts clenched with worry.

After all, Wang Zhan had just rejoined the defense line. They had just emerged from the defense line themselves, so they naturally understood what was happening within it. They were all too clear about what Wang Zhan was up against.

Upon thinking of this, Uncle Qi grabbed his longsword, gritted his teeth, and started to rise, saying, "Stay here. I must go over and have a look."

He simply couldn't allow Wang Zhan to risk his life alone. Even if he had to die, he would make sure to die beside Wang Zhan. After all, Wang Zhan was fighting for everyone while they were hiding in the back. If word of such behavior got out, it would certainly bring them shame.

Everyone looked at each other, all ready to rise and leave with Uncle Qi. However, Uncle Qi sternly stopped them. "When I tell you to stay here, stay here. I know what I'm doing. If need be, I believe Wang Zhan will have a way to retreat, and the two of us will come back unscathed. You mustn't act unthinkingly and end up alerting the enemy. Understand?"

Everyone nodded silently, without further comment.

In no time, Uncle Qi dashed towards Wang Zhan's direction. But before he could break into the defense line, Xiang Tian grabbed him, asking, "Why are you here?"

While watching Wang Zhan, Uncle Qi said with furrowed brows, "I can't sit still and just watch you youngsters fight alone for everyone. As your elder, I naturally need to contribute."

Xiang Tian just smiled and said, "Don't worry. Wang Zhan and I have a plan. You just need to take care of the youngsters. There's no need for you to worry about the fight."

"If Wang Zhan encounters unexpected circumstances, I'll be the first one to intervene."

Xiang Tian couldn't match Wang Zhan in terms of strength. However, if he stepped in at a critical moment, he could relieve some of Wang Zhan's pressure.

"But..."

Uncle Qi attempted to object, but the firm determination in Xiang Tian's eyes made him waver. Xiang Tian patted Uncle Qi on the shoulder and said, "Rest assured, Wang Zhan and I have everything under control. There will be absolutely no issues. If you join in, it could disrupt our plans."

Although Uncle Qi wasn't privy to the secrets between Xiang Tian and Wang Zhan, he refrained from saying more given what Xiang Tian had said. Clenching his teeth, he returned to the others' side.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan had already plunged into the defense line, where several beasts glared at him, their eyes filled with shock at his arrival. They were momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, those beasts darted towards Wang Zhan with a mad frenzy. Wang Zhan merely squinted, expressing no fear. The Deep Fire Blade instantly appeared in his hand, and a huge Fire Dragon materialized out of nowhere, crashing down onto the beasts. These beasts were nothing more than ordinary royal-level beasts. How could they resist a strike from the Deep Fire Blade?

Soon, the beasts were sent flying. Wang Zhan capitalized on this momentum, gripped the Deep Fire Blade, and swung. Immediately, several Fire Dragons materialized and rained down in all directions.

The beasts below instantly fell into chaos. Wasting no time, Wang Zhan once again rushed towards the pack of beasts at breakneck speed, resembling a meteor illuminating the Sky.

Just at this moment, Uncle Qi and the rest also noticed everything unfolding before them. Their faces filled with shock as they watched Wang Zhan, who was not far away.

"No wonder he became the ninth War God. He truly has extraordinary means!" one exclaimed.

"But he seems to be about the same age as us. How can he be so strong?" another wondered.

"What in the world is this!" a third cried out.

Everyone began discussing amongst themselves. In their view, it was incomprehensible how Wang Zhan could have achieved such a level. He was so young, yet he was already most powerful, even more so than the other War Gods!

They had all witnessed the other War Gods in action. Currently, the fifth war zone was in chaos. All the important War Gods were fortifying the defense line, but none of them had witnessed such ruthless moves.

Thus, just one glance sufficed to tell that Wang Zhan was far stronger than the others!

Uncle Qi's pupils also narrowed slightly, and he said excitedly, "It seems that we will truly be able to hold the defense line this time!"

He hadn't previously believed Wang Zhan's words. After all, the defense line was entirely occupied by beasts, including some terrifying beings. How could just a few of them possibly hold the defense line? But now Wang Zhan was single-handedly holding off so many beasts. What could be impossible then?

With this in mind, Uncle Qi became most excited. He wished he could draw the longsword in his hand right then and start fighting those damned beasts.

After all, they had been extremely suppressed during this period, constantly besieged and intercepted by beasts. They were like homeless dogs; though this was their territory, they had been forcibly driven out, all because of these hateful beasts.

But the most ridiculous thing was their own lack of strength. Wanting to fight against those beasts was just a pipe dream, so they ultimately had to pin their hopes on the rear of the war zone.

But now they didn't need to worry about these things; they just needed to follow Wang Zhan's lead closely, and all problems could be swiftly resolved.

Uncle Qi stopped overthinking and once again looked at Wang Zhan. At that moment, Wang Zhan was waving the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, sending beams of Fire Light straight up into the Sky. The night seemed to be illuminated by this Fire Light. Wherever Wang Zhan swung his blade, the beasts retreated like rats seeing a cat. Those that were slow to retreat met an untimely demise!

At this moment on the battlefield, Wang Zhan, gripping his Deep Fire Blade, stood erect in mid-air, coldly watching the beasts before him, his eyes devoid of emotion.

The fifth war zone had become what it was, their homes—on which they relied for survival—destroyed, all because of these beasts. Only by swiftly eliminating them could peace be restored for everyone.

With this thought, Wang Zhan once again quickened his pace and then plunged towards those beasts. His entire body crashed heavily onto the ground like a meteorite from outer space. In an instant, a massive Fire Dragon soared into the Sky from the ground, and powerful energy fluctuations emanated, knocking back all the surrounding beasts.

This scene once again shocked Uncle Qi and the others. Xiang Tian, who was to the side, felt the intense intimidation, and now he fully understood how vast the gap between him and Wang Zhan truly was. Although their levels seemed the same, in actual combat, he wasn't even one percent as good as Wang Zhan.

However, Wang Zhan was continuously moving back and forth within the fighting circle, obliterating beasts wherever he went.

Just at this moment, Wang Zhan shot into the Sky again, immediately swinging the Deep Fire Blade in his hand. During this time, he repelled all the beasts on the defense line.

Only in this way could peace be restored to the defense line and the interior of the fifth war zone be prevented from being assailed by these beasts.

After all, the deployment of the war zone's defense line was somewhat systematic. Once any defense line was breached, the beasts could quickly rush into the interior of the war zone through the torn opening. If that happened, dead bodies would litter the ground, and the entire defense line would collapse.

Wang Zhan absolutely would not allow such a situation to occur.

Just as Wang Zhan was clearing out these beasts, suddenly, a flash of lightning occurred in the distance, followed by a Thunder Beast—Xu Xu—gradually appearing.

However, the Thunder Beast in front was utterly different from the one Wang Zhan had encountered before.

Wang Zhan had dealt with a Thunder Beast previously, but that one, though on the verge of stepping into the ranks of level 1 demonic beasts, had unfortunately not completed its final transformation.

However, the Thunder Beast in front was obviously most formidable, significantly more so than the previous one. From the energy fluctuations it emitted, it was clear that this Thunder Beast had already entered the ranks of level 1 demonic beasts.

The difference between a level 1 demonic beast and a regular beast was as vast as a chasm.

With the emergence of the level 1 demonic beast, the Thunder Beast, the expressions of Uncle Qi, Xiang Tian, and the others turned increasingly grim. They also felt that intense intimidation wash over them—a pressure far beyond their ability to resist.

Fear gripped Luo Xue, and she covered her mouth, her gaze dropping. At the same moment, Uncle Qi, also startled, exclaimed, "This is not good! It's a level 1 demonic beast! What do we do?"

After all, when they had left the defense line, there were no level 1 demonic beasts here; the most ferocious Thunder Beast at the time had only taken a half-step into the ranks of level 1 demonic beasts.

But now, a level 1 demonic beast had suddenly appeared, which was far beyond their expectations. They didn't believe Wang Zhan could handle a level 1 demonic beast.

After all, even the veteran War Gods in the war zone couldn't always deal with a level 1 demonic beast, let alone Wang Zhan.

Although Wang Zhan indeed had many trump cards, so what?
