Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 634 - 632: Spirit Devouring Beast_1

At this moment, Wang Zhan decided not to hold back any longer. He hurried to Luo Tianhong's side and said in a low voice, "Enough, don't be so greedy. If we can't handle this thing, we should get out of here quickly. We don't even know what's going on, so if something unexpected happens, it'll be hard to escape."

"Do you have any idea how I achieved my current level of cultivation?"

Luo Tianhong glanced at Wang Zhan before saying, "I'll tell you the truth: I've always thrived in adversity, so a minor situation like this doesn't faze me. Besides, I don't need your help. Stand aside so you don't get hurt."

But before Wang Zhan could respond, the statue began to rise slowly. Then, they both saw pieces of stone gradually flaking off its body.

In less than a minute, the statue had transformed into a humanoid figure. Though its feet didn't touch the ground and it remained hovering in mid-air, it was continuously surrounded by energy fluctuations.

Its strength was not to be underestimated.

A solemn expression appeared on Luo Tianhong's face. When the statue was stationary, it couldn't actively attack; it only reflected attacks launched at it. But now that the figure was slowly materializing, it clearly possessed Divine Sense. This means defeating it won't be easy, making our battle even more challenging.

"Ignorant youngsters, to dare trespass into my ruins! Are you truly seeking death?" The figure in mid-air spoke slowly, his voice filled with indifference.

"Old fogey, you've been dead for who knows how many years! No matter how formidable you were in life, you're just a spirit body now. What right do you have to act so arrogantly before me?" Luo Tianhong sneered contemptuously, glanced at the figure, then charged toward it again.

The figure sneered dismissively. "Ignorant youngster, you actually dare to oppose me? Then die!"

The next second, the figure also shot toward Luo Tianhong. In the blink of an eye, they clashed. Undoubtedly, such a battle was beyond Wang Zhan's comprehension.

Streaks of light flashed across the sky.

Luo Tianhong and the figure were locked in a stalemate. It was clear their strengths were comparable. However, Wang Zhan knew that this figure was in an ethereal state; its current power was less than a tenth of what it had been at its peak. Even so, defeating this figure would be no easy task, especially since Luo Tianhong seemed to be running low on stamina.

The figure, however, seemed to possess inexhaustible mental energy and was gradually gaining the upper hand.

If they continued to fight, Luo Tianhong wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

The outcome was predictable.

A loud crash echoed through the sky and, as expected, Luo Tianhong was sent flying. The figure showed no intention of letting Luo Tianhong go and quickly closed in on her again.

Seeing this, Wang Zhan quickly drew his Deep Fire Blade and charged at the figure.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation!" Wang Zhan roared. The Deep Fire Blade shot from his hand, and immense curtains of fire materialized in the sky, instantly enveloping the figure and halting its attack.

"Damn it! Merely an insignificant junior, yet you understand such profound formation techniques. How interesting!" The figure laughed wildly, then added, "But surely you don't think this paltry formation can restrain me?"

"Utterly ridiculous! Utterly foolish!"

The figure roared, and streaks of light erupted from his body, accompanied by booming sounds that echoed through the air.

Only then did Wang Zhan notice cracks already appearing on the fire curtains.

Clearly, even the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation could not easily stop the figure; it could only buy them some time. Given that the figure was not at its peak power, the formation could still delay it for a short period, and that would be enough.

Wang Zhan hadn't expected to defeat the figure with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation alone. After all, this is a peak existence. How could we possibly deal with it, even if it's just a remnant soul? Neither Luo Tianhong nor I can handle that.

He just wanted to buy as much time as possible to escape with Luo Tianhong. That would suffice.

Wang Zhan quickly reached Luo Tianhong's side and urged, "No matter how severe your injuries are, don't waste any more time. We need to go! The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation won't hold for long!"

"You go first. Don't worry about me. This thing wants to kill me? It won't be that easy!"

This time, Luo Tianhong wasn't joking. She wiped the playful look from her face, patted Wang Zhan's shoulder, and said, "I have to admit, your perspective is much broader than mine. I didn't expect you to step forward and help at a time like this. But don't overthink it. Making me leave isn't that simple. After all, how can I just abandon the cultivation that's right within my grasp? It's right in front of me; how could I not take it?"

"So you'd even risk your life for cultivation. Now I understand why your cultivation progresses so quickly."

Wang Zhan's fighting style was often described as recklessly courting danger. He had thrown himself into perilous situations multiple times, but what others didn't understand was that Wang Zhan only wanted to temper his System. That was the only way he could quickly improve his means.

However, Wang Zhan had never imagined that compared to Luo Tianhong, his own methods were insignificant. Right now, Luo Tianhong seemed to be at the end of her rope, yet she still showed no intention of retreating.

"Enough nonsense! Let's go!"

Wang Zhan was getting angry. He grabbed Luo Tianhong's arm, intending to pull her away. They had to leave this dangerous place immediately; any further delay would make escape difficult.

But before they could move, a thunderous explosion ripped through the sky, and massive fireballs rained down on them!

He actually broke through the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation already?

Wang Zhan knew the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation wouldn't hold the figure for long. But he never expected the formation to shatter in less than a minute.

What shocked Wang Zhan even more was that his Deep Fire Blade was now covered in cracks and trembling incessantly.

Wang Zhan hastily picked up the Deep Fire Blade that had fallen before him. He looked at it with a pained expression and said, "If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have come in with you! Anyway, I don't care. If you don't compensate me with a decent weapon, I won't let you off easy!"

Of course, Wang Zhan was just joking with Luo Tianhong.

But Luo Tianhong merely shrugged indifferently. "It's just a trash weapon. Only you would treat it like a treasure. Even if you gave it to me for free, I wouldn't want it."

"You..."

With a formidable enemy upon them, they couldn't continue bickering, so Wang Zhan swallowed his words.

Not far away, the figure was rapidly approaching them.

The figure was clearly angered as well. After all, he had just expended a great deal of his mental energy, and consuming more would do him no good.

"Run!" Wang Zhan shouted, but Luo Tianhong pushed him aside. She then soared into mid-air to confront the figure. The next second, Luo Tianhong suddenly attacked.

They clashed again in the sky. However, Luo Tianhong was already disadvantaged by her previous injuries. Although the figure had consumed considerable mental energy, he still held the upper hand against her.

Luo Tianhong was steadily losing ground. Just as Wang Zhan was about to intervene, a roar suddenly echoed, reverberating throughout the entire space!

Following that, Wang Zhan's pupils constricted violently, his gaze fixed on Luo Tianhong!

No!

Or rather, the Luo Tianhong before him now was not the Luo Tianhong he knew.

The little girl who had been before him just moments ago had transformed into a colossal white snake, dozens of meters long.

"To think that even I, this old one, could be so mistaken?" The figure squinted, a faint smile playing on his lips. "It seems that during the years of my slumber, the world outside has undergone earth-shattering changes. A human brat teaming up with a demonic beast? And what's more absurd, such a formidable demonic beast?"

"Oh, I think I understand. You must have formed a contract with this human, haven't you?"

"Or perhaps, this human has become your slave?"

Wang Zhan stared in shock at the scene before him, utterly disbelieving. He never would have imagined that Luo Tianhong, whom he had always treated as a child, was actually a powerful demonic beast. Judging by her cultivation, she had to be at least a level 5 demonic beast.

"Enough nonsense! Die!"

The white snake attacked instantly. She opened her cavernous mouth, and tornadoes shot out, rapidly descending upon the figure. The figure tried to retaliate but suddenly realized a fatal problem. He staggered back two steps, stared at the white snake in shock, and uttered in a grim voice, "A Spirit Devouring Beast?"
