Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 622 - 620: The Mystery of Luo Tianhong_1

At this moment, it wasn't just Wang Zhan watching Luo Tianhong; all eyes on the battlefield were focused on him.

After all, the scene they had just witnessed was terrifying. Even with their combined efforts, Wang Zhan and the others couldn't handle the Xuanlong Beast and the giant demonic beast. Yet, with just a few effortless moves, Luo Tianhong had unbelievably eliminated both demonic beasts. How could this not shock everyone?

"Who exactly are you?"

There wasn't a hint of the joy of victory on Wang Zhan's face; instead, it was replaced by a touch of caution. His gaze kept sweeping over Luo Tianhong. Luo Tianhong's every appearance seemed too coincidental. The combat prowess Luo Tianhong had just displayed far exceeded his imagination. With such power, Luo Tianhong surely possessed the absolute ability to eliminate everyone present.

However, these were not the main points. What Wang Zhan was most concerned about was how Luo Tianhong managed to suppress his strength, and how such immense energy could be concealed beneath a seemingly unremarkable exterior.

Naturally, Wang Zhan grew curious about Luo Tianhong's identity. To Wang Zhan, Luo Tianhong was an enigma, and this uncertainty made him very uncomfortable. After all, he still didn't know if Luo Tianhong was friend or foe. Although Luo Tianhong had helped them out of their predicament, even eliminating the Xuanlong Beast and the giant demonic beast, this didn't prove he was their ally.

"Bro! I just saved you all. Shouldn't you thank me first? Instead, you're here interrogating me. Seriously, do you have any manners?"

Luo Tianhong spoke impatiently, then crossed his arms and walked to the side. "If you don't believe me, fine. I'll leave now. Anyway, this isn't the first time we've argued, nor the first time we've parted ways. I'm already used to it. But when you run into trouble next time, I won't step in so easily, you hear!"

With that, Luo Tianhong turned and walked towards the back of the crowd, seemingly completely indifferent to everything there. And indeed, that was the case. If Wang Zhan hadn't been present, Luo Tianhong wouldn't have even intervened. His main reason for being there was solely because of Wang Zhan.

Luo Tianhong wanted to leave, but Wang Zhan clearly had no intention of letting him. Luo Tianhong had only taken a few steps when Wang Zhan quickly dashed in front of him, raised his Deep Fire Blade, and immediately blocked his path. Staring coldly, Wang Zhan said, "If you don't explain yourself clearly, leaving won't be an easy matter. At the very least, you'll have to get past the blade in my hand!"

"Heh…" Luo Tianhong sneered, then shook his head and said, "Bro, what game are you playing with me? Didn't you just witness my means? You think you can stop me? Isn't that just wishful thinking?"

"I have to admit, you are indeed very strong. Even the Xuanlong Beast and the giant demonic beast were no match for you. But that's not the point. If you don't tell us your identity, then I naturally cannot let you leave."

At this moment, the Fifth Battlefield was in a fragmented and broken state. Wang Zhan naturally couldn't allow any threats to remain within the Fifth Battlefield, and Luo Tianhong's presence made him more vigilant. Clearly, in Wang Zhan's eyes, Luo Tianhong was the greatest threat.

Luo Tianhong frowned slightly. "I'm in a good mood right now and don't want to argue. If you continue to obstruct me, don't blame me for taking action." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Wang Zhan retorted, "Although you did indeed help me greatly in the past, that doesn't mean you can act as you please in front of me!"

As these words were exchanged, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Luo Tianhong.

The surrounding crowd instinctively took several steps back, their eyes filled with shock. None of them had expected Luo Tianhong's small frame to contain such immense energy. Most importantly, they couldn't even discern Luo Tianhong's cultivation level!

Wang Zhan quickly raised his Deep Fire Blade to block the intimidation emanating from Luo Tianhong. Despite this, Wang Zhan still felt a formidable force surging wildly towards him. The Deep Fire Blade in his hand immediately began to vibrate intensely, and in the next second, Wang Zhan himself was sent flying backward!

Fortunately, Luo Tianhong seemed to have no intention of harming Wang Zhan. Although Wang Zhan had been sent flying by this force, his life was not in danger. The Deep Fire Blade, however, had been knocked from his grasp.

Luo Tianhong glanced at Wang Zhan, then continued, "Alright, I don't have time to waste with you here, nor do I want to get entangled with you. Let me leave before I lose my temper."

The moment his words fell, Luo Tianhong headed towards the outskirts of the crowd. Wang Zhan wanted to pursue him, but Bai Yu, who was standing nearby, quickly moved to his side, grabbed his arm, and said, "Alright, stop. We're simply no match for him, can't you see? If we continue to obstruct him, he might grow to resent us, and that wouldn't be good for us. As for his identity, we can investigate it thoroughly later."

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. After all, there was no better solution at present. Besides, regardless of Luo Tianhong's identity, as long as he poses no threat to me, it's fine. I can see that he helped me out of that predicament. I don't know if it was out of consideration for our past acquaintance or because he has a particularly good feeling about me, but either way, he helped.

Since the Xuanlong Beasts and giant demonic beasts had all been dealt with by the group, there were no longer any beasts on the defense line capable of threatening them. Although the beasts had not completely retreated, under the vigorous pursuit led by Xiang Tian and the others, practically all remaining beasts on the defense line perished there.

A day passed, and not even the shadow of a single beast could be seen along the entire defense line. Wang Zhan and the others were sitting in the main camp. Bai Yu, gripping his Dual Guns, laughed and said excitedly, "This battle was truly exhilarating! I never thought we'd eliminate so many beasts. This is an unprecedented grand situation in the history of the fifth war zone!"

"Of course, all of this is thanks to Wang Zhan. If he hadn't led us in resisting the Xuanlong Beasts and the others, we probably wouldn't have had the chance for such a great victory!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, as this great victory was indeed largely due to Wang Zhan. However, only Wang Zhan knew that if it hadn't been for Luo Tianhong's sudden appearance, they would have already been killed by the Xuanlong Beast and the giant demonic beast.

Wang Zhan's spirits were not high. Although everyone was injured, they still wanted to drink and celebrate their success. Wang Zhan, however, paid them no mind and walked directly outside the defense line.

Wang Zhan sat on a col outside the defense line, gazing at the stars in the sky. The image of Luo Tianhong surfaced in my mind again. Although I've been on the Star War Battlefield for some time, Luo Tianhong is undeniably the most powerful person I've ever met. Most importantly, he always conceals his true strength; I can never see through his actual cultivation level. Another thing puzzles me: Luo Tianhong seems to always be around me. Whenever I'm in danger, he appears at the first possible moment. Is there some connection between us? However, in my memories, I don't recall ever having contact with Luo Tianhong, nor do I remember anyone around me ever mentioning him. Could it be merely because we once entered some ruins together? But I remember what Luo Tianhong said back then—that his strength was insufficient, so he naturally needed companions, and I was just a tool in his hands. Yet, the combat power Luo Tianhong displays now is far beyond what I can match. So why would he have needed to share the treasures from the ruins with anyone? He could have easily entered the ruins alone and taken everything for himself. Wouldn't that have been far more satisfying?

Wang Zhan was deeply troubled. He lay back on the col, his expression gradually becoming gloomy again. Although all the problems in the fifth war zone had been resolved, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm. Even gazing at the star-filled sky brought him no joy.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps nearby. Wang Zhan subconsciously glanced behind him and saw Xiang Tian limping over from the side.

As Xiang Tian had been injured previously, he naturally hadn't recovered yet; his body was still wrapped in many bandages. He walked over to Wang Zhan, sat down beside him, and then asked, "Are you still thinking about Luo Tianhong's situation?"

"What else?"

Wang Zhan turned his face away, sighed, and then said, "Luo Tianhong's identity is extremely bizarre. Right now, we don't even know what his intentions are. With his means, he absolutely doesn't need to remain in the fifth war zone, nor would he be trapped here. Yet, he insists on staying and has even helped me out of predicaments multiple times. However, concerning the affairs of the fifth war zone, he has always remained aloof. Don't you find that a bit strange?"

"What's so strange about it?"

Xiang Tian said with a smile, "Actually, in my opinion, it's quite simple. It's nothing more than this: Luo Tianhong came to the fifth war zone and wasn't ready to leave yet. He happened to encounter you, took a liking to you, and so he has stayed by your side to protect you. Is that really so hard to understand?"
