Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 494: Entanglement_1
But despite everything, Wang Zhan showed no intention of begging for mercy. Instead, his expression was even more defiant, his face a mask of sarcasm.
"Want to kill me? You bunch of beasts! Even if I let all of you attack me at once, even if you summon your main bodies, what then? Trash is still trash! HAHAHAHA..."
Wang Zhan crowed, his voice dripping with malicious glee. It was as if he didn’t care in the slightest if his opponents truly became enraged, or what terrible fate might await him if he were actually defeated.
Naturally, faced with such an unrestrained and increasingly crazed young man, the giant snake clones all flew into a rage. Even the giant snake’s main body, hidden away and not on the battlefield, felt veins throb on its head from the anger Wang Zhan provoked. Unable to contain its fury, it seethed, Kid, after you die, I’ll make sure to piece your corpse back together and hang it on the city walls of every state, to show the Human Race the truly immense cost of provoking my Beast Clan!
Although it was a snake, a naturally cold-blooded creature, Wang Zhan’s own formidable power and his increasingly wild behavior in the heat of battle were now making its blood boil. It almost wished it could charge onto the battlefield that very instant, teeth gritted, to engage Wang Zhan in a life-or-death duel and make him understand the consequences. After all, Wang Zhan was arguably the most arrogant and overbearing Human Race member it had encountered in years, yet also the one that left it most helpless! If Wang Zhan weren’t still resisting, and if it didn’t seem like the trump cards he held were enough for him to fight on for dozens, even hundreds more rounds, the giant snake’s main body might have already rushed out. It would have dragged Wang Zhan before it and given him a taste of true dismemberment!
Moreover, due to its own bloodline talent, while five horses might not be available for the dismemberment, five dragons certainly could be mustered. Thirty-three Giant Dragons, tearing Wang Zhan into thirty-three pieces. That would be a worthy achievement against this arrogant, crazed brat! Such a hard-won battle record!
And seeing that the giant snake’s main body, which wasn’t even on the battlefield, was so incensed by Wang Zhan that it was almost boiling with rage, one could naturally imagine the horrifying fury brewing in the hearts of the giant snake clones currently engaged in the fight. Their hatred had reached the point where they no longer saw Wang Zhan as prey. Instead, they wanted to use him to sharpen their fangs, to tear him into strips until he was as tattered as a rag, beyond piecing back together, utterly destroyed! This clearly showed how successful Wang Zhan’s tactics had been.
At the same time, one could only imagine the enormous pressure Wang Zhan was currently under. In fact, even the giant snake clone that was still recuperating in the distance felt its fangs itch with hatred as it watched Wang Zhan’s constantly weaving and dodging figure. Just moments ago, Wang Zhan had taught it a harsh lesson. Indeed, if it hadn’t been a clone, the blow to its head and the massive gaping holes left behind would have been enough to kill this giant snake! And everyone knew that snakes were inherently cold and vindictive.
Therefore, it naturally voiced its opinion, hissing with hatred to the other giant snake clones—who, despite originating from the same main body, treated each other like siblings, "Kill him! Who cares how arrogant he is, kill him! Only his corpse can prove our strength! Anything else is superfluous..." Its eyes had narrowed into vertical slits, an oily green, appearing like a ghoul’s and emanating an endless chill.
But at the same time, the lingering current of energy in front of it, left by Wang Zhan, felt like a constant taunt from that young man. It was driving the injured clone to the brink of madness, making it impossible to calm down. After all, this Human Race kid was just too detestable!
Unexpectedly, when Wang Zhan heard the voice of this pathetic Snot Worm from that side, he immediately retorted, "JIE JIE JIE, if you could kill me, how could you have ended up like the soft Snot Worm you are now? Everyone, be careful. Don’t fall into my hands, or what happened to this sibling of yours might happen to you too! HAHAHAHA..."
Although Wang Zhan was still dodging, and for nearly a dozen breaths’ time had found no opportunity to counterattack, his arrogance and overbearing attitude clearly remained unchanged. Even his already bloodshot eyes were now several shades redder—not the red of despair, but the red of bloodlust. He looked as if he couldn’t wait to douse himself in his enemies’ cold blood to cool his own boiling veins, presenting a truly crazed image. He seemed possessed, like a man one dared not look at directly, as if he concealed the world’s greatest and most brutal carnage and Hell within him.
Even these giant snake clones before him, though merely haphazardly assembled, were veterans of countless battles. They possessed the boundless will and inherited knowledge of a Martial Emperor and had witnessed many grand scenes. Yet, looking at Wang Zhan now, they felt an inexplicable palpitation. It was evident what kind of state Wang Zhan was in. And they could also see that the Human Race brat before them was growing increasingly dangerous. It seemed as though, with every passing moment, his level of danger continued to rise!
So, faced with this situation, the many giant snake clones didn’t even have time to consider the opinion of the clone they called a sibling—the one Wang Zhan had crippled. Instead, they were instantly alarmed and immediately roared, "Stop tangling with him! He’s getting more dangerous! There must be something profoundly strange about this kid; perhaps he even has reinforcements waiting. Kill him quickly! We absolutely cannot let him escape..."
"Kill, kill, kill! He’s too strong. For whatever reason, we must kill him, otherwise there will absolutely be no peace for us..."
Such a Human Race prodigy was truly terrifying. Because everyone knew that the enmities between Martial Artists were never as simple as they appeared on the surface; they could become grudges that tested one’s core of Martial Arts. That is to say, perhaps one day, if Wang Zhan survived and reached a point where their race needed to avenge a past disgrace and settle old scores, he might come looking for them! And when a powerful human found a Beast Clan with malicious intent, one could imagine what the outcome would be.
Of course, on the other hand, if they truly killed Wang Zhan, proving his combat power and delighting the upper echelons of the Beast Clan, these giant snake clones could be rewarded dozens of times, just like the main body. From then on, they would truly soar, becoming untouchable. Because this would definitely be an unprecedented victory, enough to boost morale and shake the entire Star War Battlefield.
One should know, everyone knew that in the beginning, the Human Race was actually quite weak. But who would have thought that with the emergence of some deeply hidden trump cards, the Human Race’s ever-increasing number of hidden assets would have sufficient time to recover before being revealed to the world? This continued until the situation developed to the point where the Human Race was able to drive the main forces of the Beast Clan out of the Earth Federation and redefine the rules with its own formidable strength.
From that time onward, the battlefield between the two races shifted directly from the Earth Federation to the Star War Battlefield, which was predominantly controlled by the Beast Clan. But, in addition to these changes, there was another crucial matter. From that moment on, through studying and observing the Human warriors on the Star War Battlefield, the Beast Clan discovered something: Human Race geniuses, since that turning point, had never set foot on the Star War Battlefield again! They were thoroughly hidden, like a Divine Dragon—glimpsed but never truly seen.
The Human warriors still remaining on the Star War Battlefield, although their will was firm and their strength terrifying, possessed truly average Talent. In fact, some were even less talented than the lowest-ranking members of the Beast Clan. They had all grown strong through life-and-death crises and various fortuitous encounters, gradually becoming aging relics of a bygone era.
So, at this moment, the Beast Clan completely understood. The Human Race was definitely hiding its geniuses. And they were using those old-timers to constantly buy precious time for their geniuses. Those geniuses were the true hope of a race! And the seeds of truly powerful figures who will dominate the Star War Battlefield in the future!
One could imagine, a genius like Wang Zhan, who had reached such a level at such a young age—the Human Race would never allow such individuals to roam the outside world, constantly exposed to danger. Even more so, once they displayed their Talent and proved to be exceptionally demonic in their abilities, those cunning humans would find ways to escort such a genius back and focus intensively on their training!
In other words, Wang Zhan, at this very moment, was such a person. And the giant snake had, by a stroke of rotten luck, encountered him. However, due to the dramatic changes on the field, even if this idea had surfaced in the minds of some giant snake clones, the pressing situation made it increasingly vague. They simply had no capacity to ponder it further.
Meanwhile, the giant snake’s main body, concealed in some secret location, was too preoccupied with managing its clones to consider anything else.
