Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 636 - 634: Backfire_1

A smile may have been playing at the corner of Luo Tianhong's mouth, but it was evident that she was not joking.

Her eyes revealed pure killing intent.

Wang Zhan involuntarily took a few steps back. He glanced at the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and then gradually distanced himself from Luo Tianhong, saying, "Remember who was willing to lend you a hand just a moment ago. If you kill me now, won't everyone know that you're heartless and unprincipled?"

"I must admit, you amuse me. Even if they discover my true nature, what will that change? Do you think I need to band together with these people?"

Luo Tianhong laughed, a bell-like sound, then continued, "You might not understand how terrifying a Spirit Devouring Beast can be. Given a year, I can scour every ruin across the entire interface. My cultivation will naturally improve greatly, perhaps even allowing me to transcend my own demonic beast nature.

"When I ascend to a higher interface after that, I doubt anyone will be able to stop me."

With that, Luo Tianhong laughed again, her eyes gleaming with enjoyment. "So, I'm giving you a chance to choose again. If you stay by my side, you can be my slave. Although it doesn't sound too pleasant, being with me will ensure you garner enough respect.

"As my strength grows and I come to dominate the entire Star War Battlefield, who do you think will dare to provoke you?

"Of course, another advantage is that once I take you out of these ruins, no demonic beast will pester you—after all, I'll be with you."

Undeniably, these were all advantages. They could give Wang Zhan some time to stabilize and grow. However, if he had to serve a demonic beast every day and bow before it, he would rather forsake this peace.

"You seem to underestimate me. Do you think I'm as cowardly as those who fear death?"

Wang Zhan remained vigilant, his attention divided between watching his back for an escape route and monitoring Luo Tianhong, clearly looking for a chance to flee.

Luo Tianhong chuckled indifferently before speaking again, "Since you aren't afraid of death, then I won't waste any more time with you. Prepare to die."

As she spoke, peculiar energy fluctuations appeared around Luo Tianhong, and an oppressive sensation instantly filled the air.

Wang Zhan instinctively retreated; a great battle was clearly inevitable. Since there was no escape, he decided not to evade any longer.

Although he didn't know how Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were faring outside, he couldn't worry about them now, as he himself was facing a dead end.

"Damn it!"

Luo Tianhong, who was about to attack, suddenly clenched her fist, her face turning gloomy. Light patterns even began appearing on her body.

Witnessing this, Wang Zhan was somewhat puzzled.

But Luo Tianhong clearly had no time to bother with him any longer. Wang Zhan didn't hesitate, quickly turning and fleeing.

Indeed, Luo Tianhong had no time to be concerned with Wang Zhan. She had just absorbed a formidable cultivation, which put a significant strain on her body. Right now, she urgently needed to fuse this newly absorbed cultivation with her own. Otherwise, the energies would clash within her body.

I didn't expect this brat to be so lucky! To think the cultivation I just absorbed would cause a backlash at this very moment.

Luo Tianhong clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. She then sat on the ground and gradually closed her eyes. After all, her life was what mattered most.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan hastily headed towards the entrance of the ruins. With his memories as his guide, he navigated for several hours before reaching the entrance. He could already see Xiang Tian and Luo Xue waiting nearby.

Seeing Wang Zhan, Luo Xue rushed towards him and eagerly asked, "Brother Wang, how did it go? Did you find anything good in the ruins?"

Shaking his head, Wang Zhan instinctively looked back. Seeing no sign of Luo Tianhong, he grasped Luo Xue's arm and quickly sprinted towards Xiang Tian, saying, "There isn't time for explanations now. We need to leave immediately."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, quickly followed Wang Zhan.

Xiang Tian's body was injured. After traveling for some time, he had reached his limit.

He coughed heavily. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and continue, Wang Zhan turned around and noticed him. Wang Zhan rushed over to Xiang Tian, took his arm, and immediately asked, "How are you doing? Can you still hold on?"

"I'm alright, but I can't keep this up for much longer," Xiang Tian answered frankly.

Wang Zhan's face gradually turned unsightly. They had to leave the ruins as quickly as possible. The Star War Battlefield was incredibly vast. Although they were only on one of its interfaces, even a single interface was large enough to put significant distance between them and Luo Tianhong. If they could hide in a safe place, it wouldn't be easy for Luo Tianhong to find them.

But Xiang Tian was clearly in no shape to continue, which presented a serious problem for Wang Zhan.

"Brother Wang, what's going on? Where is Luo Tianhong? Weren't you two together just now?" Luo Xue, who was by their side, walked over to Wang Zhan and asked with perplexity, "Brother Wang, did she harm you in some way?"

"Heh..." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Wang Zhan let out a self-deprecating laugh. If it were just a harmless prank, that would've been fine. But how could Luo Tianhong let me go easily after I discovered her secret?

Moreover, Wang Zhan could tell that the Spirit Devouring Beast was terrifying. After all, the human figure they encountered earlier had been brimming with fear.

This alone was enough to indicate Luo Tianhong's prominent status, and that the Spirit Devouring Beast was definitely not something benevolent.

Just as Wang Zhan was about to explain this to the two, the words caught in his throat. Knowing too much wasn't a good thing for Xiang Tian and Luo Xue. Their priority now was to find the exit to the ruins.

As for the matter regarding the Spirit Devouring Beast, he needed to get out and confirm it.

"Alright, you two don't need to ask too many questions. Just remember, if you come across Luo Tianhong, don't worry about me. Run away immediately."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged glances. They had evidently figured out the crux of the matter: Wang Zhan and Luo Tianhong had clearly parted ways, and something significant must have occurred for Wang Zhan to be this tense.

After all, they all knew how powerful Luo Tianhong was. Even if they joined forces, they would not be her match based on their current capabilities.

After some hesitation, Wang Zhan grabbed Xiang Tian's arms and hoisted him onto his shoulder. Before Xiang Tian could protest, Wang Zhan took Luo Xue's hand and sprinted off into the distance.

It was as if he were a father guiding two naive children.

With a troubled expression, Xiang Tian knew that doing so would greatly drain Wang Zhan's strength. If they encountered any ferocious beasts or Luo Tianhong, it would be difficult for them to retreat unscathed.

Regret washed over him at this point. If he hadn't been curious and acted so carelessly, none of them would be in their current predicament.

After seemingly wandering in the ruins for a long time, they still hadn't found an exit.

Sitting before a cluster of statues, Wang Zhan gently laid Xiang Tian down, and the three of them sat together.

"What should we do? It seems like there's only an entrance to these ruins, but no exit," Luo Xue said, looking troubled. Wang Zhan's expression tensed up even more.

"Brother Wang, we're not going to be trapped here forever, are we?"

Xiang Tian shrugged indifferently. "The Star War Battlefield is chaotic, and our interface is teeming with demonic beasts and other beasts. Getting out now wouldn't benefit us at all. Besides, all the major war zones are currently fighting demonic beasts. It might be better for us to cultivate peacefully here. Once our cultivation improves, we can leave then. Wouldn't that be great?"

Xiang Tian seemed to drift into his own Little World, mumbling to himself, "I guess when we finally leave these ruins, we'll certainly be prominent figures, won't we?"

Wang Zhan shook his head, a faint smile gracing his lips. "You really are a dreamer."

"Have you ever considered this? If Luo Tianhong comes looking for us while we're still trapped in these ruins, unable to leave, wouldn't we be like sitting ducks waiting for her to strike? We wouldn't have time to improve our cultivation; instead, we'd fall right into her clutches."

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a look. They had to admit Wang Zhan's words served as a stark reminder. They couldn't completely relax with Luo Tianhong still out there, eyeing them like potential prey. Though they had no idea of her whereabouts, they knew they had to remain on high alert.

"Brother Wang, how exactly did you offend that woman?"
