Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 618 - 616: The True Form of Xuanlong Beast_1
By the time he arrived at the defense line, the Xuanlong Beast already knew what was happening there. He was well aware that the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast had been dealt with by Wang Zhan. However, he had already enlisted powerful allies. In his mind, even if Wang Zhan and his people held the line, it wouldn't matter; the moment his ally arrived, the defense line would instantly collapse.
Not wanting to be outdone, Wang Zhan glanced at the Xuanlong Beast. Waving his Deep Fire Blade, he smiled and said, "I have to admit, you seem formidable. However, you're nothing special in my eyes. After all, it only took me one move to take down the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast. What about you?"
"One move probably wouldn't be enough, but with two moves, I reckon you wouldn't last, would you?"
Wang Zhan's words were steeped in contempt, clearly indicating his disregard for the Xuanlong Beast.
While the two were conversing, Bai Yu swiftly moved to Xiang Tian's side, helped him to his feet, and quickly led him aside.
Xiang Tian looked at Bai Yu gratefully before asking in a serious tone, "Why is everyone here? Who's going to deal with the beasts on the defense line?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Zi Yuan has already led people to hold off those beasts. Moreover, Zhu Xu and Mu Bing have all arrived. Rest assured, we can fight the Xuanlong Beast now. Didn't Wang Zhan just say it? They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. There's absolutely nothing to worry about."
Xiang Tian shook his head helplessly. Having spent a long time with Wang Zhan, he hadn't expected Bai Yu's personality to change so much. Bai Yu's words were incredibly arrogant, showing he didn't take the Xuanlong Beast and its cohorts seriously at all. One should know that the Xuanlong Beast was a level 2 beast; even Bai Yu was no match for it. Xiang Tian wondered where Bai Yu was getting all this confidence.
"Do you have enough strength to leave here?"
Bai Yu dropped his playful demeanor and looked at Xiang Tian beside him. Although he didn't seem to take the Xuanlong Beast seriously, he was very aware of the gap in strength between himself and the creature. If Wang Zhan were to fight the Xuanlong Beast, Bai Yu knew he would have to find a way to launch a sneak attack from the side. Only then could they hope to defeat it. After all, the Xuanlong Beast was a level 2 beast, its inherent power undeniable. It wouldn't be easy for Wang Zhan to kill it instantly. The best strategy was for the two of them to team up and ambush the Xuanlong Beast.
Xiang Tian shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Relax. I can certainly hold my own."
Having already caused trouble for everyone once, he naturally wouldn't become a burden again or drag them down.
Bai Yu nodded at Xiang Tian's response and said, "Great! Don't waste any more time. Head back to the defense line quickly. Although there are beasts there, our main force is also on the defense line, so it's much safer there than here."
This time, Xiang Tian was quite obedient. He didn't insist on staying, understanding that his own strength was negligible compared to the Xuanlong Beast's; he couldn't even withstand a single one of its attacks. Staying would only make him a burden to Wang Zhan and Bai Yu. The most pressing matter was to leave this place first.
Having thought this through, Xiang Tian quickly headed towards the camp. At the same moment, Wang Zhan also sprang to his feet, raising his Deep Fire Blade. Instantly, multiple Fire Dragons erupted in the sky, swooping rapidly towards the Xuanlong Beast!
Although Wang Zhan had been speaking with the Xuanlong Beast, his gaze had remained fixed on it. He was actually looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. If he could eliminate the Xuanlong Beast before him, then among the other beasts, there would be no one left capable of posing a threat. Wang Zhan and his companions would then control the battlefield, and matters would become much easier.
With this thought, Wang Zhan intensified his attacks. His rapport with the Deep Fire Blade was steadily increasing, and their coordination had become much more proficient. The power of his Fire Dragons was now far greater than before; otherwise, he couldn't have dispatched the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast so easily. One should know that while the Lion-body Demon-faced Beast's overall combat strength was less than Wang Zhan's, it was still a genuine level 1 demonic beast. How could it have been so simple to defeat?
The Xuanlong Beast, however, was no ordinary foe. Although Wang Zhan launched a sneak attack, the Xuanlong Beast reacted with extreme speed. A massive protective shield instantly appeared around his body. As the Fire Dragons descended one by one, not a single ripple appeared on the shield.
This kind of attack is actually ineffective?
This was something Wang Zhan hadn't expected at all.
But things had reached this point, so Wang Zhan could only brace himself and confront the Xuanlong Beast. After all, the Xuanlong Beast was currently enraged; if he broke through the defense line, Zi Yuan and the others would undoubtedly be doomed. Just then, Bai Yu also rushed towards the Xuanlong Beast. Yet, even with their combined efforts, they still couldn't penetrate the strange protective shield around the Xuanlong Beast's body.
"Damn it! What the hell is this thing? How can it be so hard?"
Wang Zhan's Deep Fire Blade was considered a divine weapon, and Bai Yu's Dual Guns were certainly not weak. Yet, even when they attacked together, they couldn't break through this protective shield. This was enough to demonstrate just how terrifying the Xuanlong Beast's power truly was!
The Xuanlong Beast squinted, looking at them coldly. He glanced at the eager beasts by his side, waved his hand, and commanded, "They're just a bunch of pathetic clowns. You don't need to act; I can take care of them myself!"
As he spoke, the Xuanlong Beast waved his hands. Immediately, a long black dragon appeared, seeming to pierce through the sky. Clearly, the Xuanlong Beast had revealed his true form!
One should know that the biggest difference between demonic beasts and humans is that once a demonic beast transforms into its original form, its defensive and offensive capabilities increase dramatically. Its combat power also becomes incredibly formidable. Moreover, the Xuanlong Beast was a level 2 beast; transforming into his true demonic beast form would naturally make him even more terrifying!
After locking gazes, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu swiftly rushed towards the Xuanlong Beast.
At this moment, they had no path of retreat. If they wanted to leave this place unscathed, their only option was to eliminate the Xuanlong Beast as quickly as possible!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and thunder rumbled continuously. Huge bolts of lightning tore across the firmament. Streaks of Fire Light erupted around Wang Zhan. Bai Yu, not to be outdone, instantly brandished his Dual Guns, creating a flurry of afterimages.
However, strong as their attacks were, they still couldn't inflict any substantial damage on the Xuanlong Beast!
The Xuanlong Beast roared. Instantly, an eerie light screen appeared at his draconic mouth, and even the surrounding energy was absorbed towards it!
"Not good!"
Wang Zhan suddenly looked at Bai Yu beside him and quickly shouted, "This guy seems to be preparing to use his trump card!"
Although the Xuanlong Beast was still preparing his attack, Wang Zhan could already sense how formidable it would be!
Thinking this, Wang Zhan quickly rushed to Bai Yu's side and said in a low voice, "This fellow's means are far beyond our imagination. We need to find a way to get out of here first!"
"Escape?!"
Bai Yu looked at Wang Zhan in puzzlement. He had known Wang Zhan for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen Wang Zhan even consider retreating.
Is this still the Wang Zhan I know?
Wang Zhan spoke again, "Do you think I'm really planning to leave? We're just going to delay this fellow for a bit, then wait for an opportunity to strike. If we can't kill the Xuanlong Beast in one blow or seriously injure him, a prolonged fight will be of no benefit to us. So, there's no need for us to clash head-on with him here!"
Although Wang Zhan had been full of confidence before coming here, believing he definitely had the ability to fight the Xuanlong Beast, it now seemed he had been too optimistic. Even with his Deep Fire Blade, he couldn't breach the Xuanlong Beast's defense, which already highlighted the disparity between them. Moreover, the Xuanlong Beast hadn't even attacked yet, and he and Bai Yu were already at their wit's end. If the Xuanlong Beast were to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Although Wang Zhan was a battle enthusiast and wanted to constantly improve his strength through combat, he wasn't a fool. He naturally needed to use his brain before acting. How could he possibly engage in a fight he knew he couldn't win?
Upon hearing Wang Zhan's words, Bai Yu didn't hesitate and quickly retreated with Wang Zhan. However, just at that moment, the energy around the Xuanlong Beast finished converging. Immediately after, a massive pillar of energy shot out from his draconic mouth, falling rapidly towards Wang Zhan and Bai Yu!
This gigantic energy pillar seemed to contain raging energy particles, something they definitely couldn't withstand!
But now, with nowhere to dodge, Wang Zhan and Bai Yu could only brace themselves and use the weapons in their hands to block in front of them!
Following a loud BANG, a massive energy ripple spread out. Wang Zhan and Bai Yu were sent flying backward, and some of the surrounding beasts were also unable to escape!
For a moment, howls filled the sky—a truly tragic scene!
The Xuanlong Beast, however, showed no intention of letting Wang Zhan and Bai Yu go. He soared into the air again and swooped down towards them!
His enormous dragon tail, as if it had eyes of its own, struck directly towards the space between Wang Zhan's eyebrows!
Wang Zhan quickly raised his Deep Fire Blade!
With another loud CRASH, Wang Zhan felt a sharp pain in his chest and was once again sent flying dozens of meters away!
"Damn it! I didn't expect this fellow to be so formidable!"
Wang Zhan spat, tightened his grip on his Deep Fire Blade again, and glared coldly at the Xuanlong Beast, which was eyeing him predatorily. In a chilling voice, he said, "Even if I die today, I'm taking you down with me!"
