Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 631 - 629: Tactic_1

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, who stood nearby, were immediately excited as they looked at Wang Zhan. It seemed to them that Wang Zhan had already seized control of the victory.

However, a touch of seriousness appeared on Wang Zhan's face, and beads of cold sweat trickled from his brow.

Others might not know what was going on, but he himself was very clear. Although the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation was extremely strong, it greatly drained his mental energy. Although he had just displayed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation, he had already consumed a lot of mental energy. If he continued to deplete it, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.

At this thought, Wang Zhan's expression turned grim. He then turned to look at Xiang Tian and Luo Xue behind him and said urgently, "Quickly, get into the Seven-star Barrier! Don't worry about me; I'll follow shortly!"

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a glance, both hesitating. They clearly didn't understand Wang Zhan's intentions. After all, Wang Zhan was now controlling the battlefield; why did they need to flee so desperately?

Nearby, Luo Tianhong laughed, shrugging his shoulders as he said, "Just do as he says. He's about to run out of steam. If he continues to display this Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation, his mental energy will be completely exhausted. At that point, forget a Thousand Illusion Beast; even that weaker demonic beast could crush him."

"How is that possible?" Xiang Tian was shocked, his expression turning exceedingly grim.

Luo Xue, at his side, grabbed Xiang Tian's arm and said, "Alright, let's just do as Brother Wang says. After all, Brother Wang would never harm us!"

Xiang Tian nodded heavily. He apparently understood Wang Zhan's intention: if they stayed, they would hinder Wang Zhan. However, once they left, even if Wang Zhan was defeated, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get away.

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue headed towards the barrier.

Luo Tianhong, however, remained standing in place. Wang Zhan's stamina was gradually depleting. From not far away, Luo Tianhong slowly said, "Are you really not going to ask for my help? If you keep this up, you'll likely collapse soon, and then there'll be no time to escape."

"Enough of your nonsense!" Wang Zhan snapped. "I said I don't need your help, and I mean it! Get lost."

Luo Tianhong smiled helplessly. "Fine. Since my kindness is met with a cold shoulder, why should I waste any more time on you?"

"But let me be clear: even if those two little ones enter the barrier, I have no interest in looking after them. If they die inside, it's none of my concern." After saying this, Luo Tianhong turned to leave.

Wang Zhan's expression suddenly darkened. His relationship with Xiang Tian and Luo Xue was different; he couldn't just stand by and watch them get into trouble.

However, seeing Luo Tianhong's callous attitude, and knowing he was likely a man of his word, Wang Zhan didn't dare gamble with Xiang Tian and Luo Xue's lives, especially since he still had no idea what lay within the barrier and the ruins.

At this thought, a flicker appeared in Wang Zhan's eyes as he looked at Luo Tianhong in the distance. Then, a mischievous idea struck him.

He immediately shot towards Luo Tianhong, simultaneously recalling the distant Deep Fire Blade.

With the Deep Fire Blade returning to Wang Zhan's hand, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation instantly dissipated.

The Thousand Illusion Beast and the other beast exchanged a look, a fierce glint instantly appearing in their eyes. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Then, after another glance at each other, the two beasts charged towards Wang Zhan at an astonishing speed.

However, Wang Zhan had already anticipated their move. He instantly appeared at Luo Tianhong's side and shoved him forward.

"Damn it, Wang Zhan, you bastard!" Luo Tianhong gritted his teeth. Wang Zhan, however, was grinning broadly as he said, "Well, no need for your help now! They're coming for you themselves. My apologies, you can handle them here. I'll be heading into the ruins."

In a few steps, Wang Zhan had arrived next to the Seven-star Barrier.

He squinted, smiling as he added, "Oh, and I recall you mentioning the barrier's gate will close soon. Reopening it then would be quite difficult. So, if you want to enter the ruins, you'd better deal with those two damn beasts quickly. Don't waste too much time."

With that, Wang Zhan swiftly flew into the barrier.

"Wang Zhan! You bastard!" Luo Tianhong gritted his teeth, watching furiously as Wang Zhan departed. By now, the Thousand Illusion Beast and the demonic beast had closed in on him.

The Thousand Illusion Beast glanced at the departing Wang Zhan, clenched its fist slightly, then fixed its gaze on Luo Tianhong and said coldly, "Since your companion has fled, you will pay the price."

As it spoke, the Thousand Illusion Beast launched an attack on Luo Tianhong. Yet, not a trace of fear showed on Luo Tianhong's face; instead, it was filled with disdain.

Luo Tianhong slowly raised his hand, and the very air around him seemed to tremble. The Thousand Illusion Beast's expression instantly turned grim, and the nearby beast reacted similarly.

After exchanging a shocked glance, they stared at Luo Tianhong. Then, to their astonishment, the Thousand Illusion Beast actually dropped to its knees before him.

Fortunately, Wang Zhan was not there to witness it; otherwise, he would undoubtedly have been stunned by the scene.

The Thousand Illusion Beast knelt on the ground, its eyes filled with horror, as if Luo Tianhong were some man-eating demon.

"Two useless losers! You couldn't even handle a mere mortal. What use are you?" Luo Tianhong shot a cold glance at the two beasts.

Luo Tianhong then slowly lifted his hand. Instantly, streams of energy converged in his palm. The eyes of the Thousand Illusion Beast and the demonic beast widened in terror, but it was too late. As Luo Tianhong's palm descended, ripples of energy swept over them, and in an instant, both the Thousand Illusion Beast and the demonic beast were reduced to dust.

Luo Tianhong glanced in the direction Wang Zhan had taken. Then, as if nothing out of the ordinary had just occurred, his figure transformed into a streak of light and entered the barrier.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan and his companions had already stepped into the barrier and were now standing outside the ruins.

A figure slowly materialized behind them. When they turned, they found Luo Tianhong standing there.

Wang Zhan, at this point, found it hard to be surprised by him. After all, even though there were two level 2 beasts outside, they were mere trifles to Luo Tianhong. Everyone had witnessed Luo Tianhong's skills on the defense line; his methods were truly formidable. Level 2 beasts didn't even stand a chance against him.

"You brat, you're truly vicious!" Luo Tianhong said, hands on his hips, glaring fiercely at Wang Zhan. "I didn't need to intervene, yet you lured those two demonic beasts straight to me! What exactly were you planning?"

"You don't actually think I wouldn't dare to kill you, do you?" he continued. "Anyway, the barrier is open now, so I don't need you lot around anymore. You're useless to me. Believe it or not, I could kill you all right now!"

No one paid any attention to Luo Tianhong's words. Wang Zhan, in particular, had already started walking towards the interior of the ruins.

"Damn it!" Luo Tianhong clenched his fists. He glared at Wang Zhan's back, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you've got guts! Just you wait. Let's see how long you can last. When you find yourself in a critical situation, don't come kneeling and begging me for mercy!"

Luo Tianhong was very familiar with everything concerning this place and knew exactly what kind of terrifying entities existed within these ruins.

So, he believed that it wouldn't take long for Wang Zhan to kneel before him and plead for his help.

However, Wang Zhan and company simply ignored him and quickly headed toward the main entrance of the ruins.

The main entrance to the ruins stood slightly ajar. Upon entering, they discovered it was a vast palace.

Strangely, lining both sides of the path ahead were enormous bronze statues, each wielding various weapons, the likes of which even Wang Zhan had never seen.

After a few more steps, Wang Zhan moved ahead of the others and said, "It feels a bit strange in here. You two stay by the entrance. I'll go in and scout things out first. If I find anything valuable, I'll contact you immediately. But if I don't come out for a long time, you need to find a way to leave first, understand?"

Xiang Tian and Luo Xue looked at each other before nodding heavily.

Luo Tianhong, however, merely shrugged indifferently. "Wang Zhan, you really are an idiot. Have you forgotten that the Seven-star Barrier outside is already closed? Forget trying to open it from the outside; there's even less chance of opening this barrier from within. So, by telling them to stay here, aren't you just asking them to wait for death?"

"What do you mean by that?" Luo Xue, standing nearby, clenched her fists and glared at Luo Tianhong.

The next second, however, Luo Tianhong's expression turned cold. "Do you even have the right to speak here?"

His sharp tone intimidated Luo Xue, and she quickly averted her gaze.

After all, there was a significant power gap between her and Luo Tianhong, so she didn't dare to openly talk back to him.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan came to stand beside Luo Xue, simply ignoring Luo Tianhong, and patted her shoulder reassuringly.
