Wang Zhan was self-assured. After all, he could fight a level 4 Demonic Beast, and there weren't too many powerful individuals in the lower planes of the Star War Battlefield. Naturally, there wouldn't be too many dominant demonic beasts either. So far, he could face any demonic beast below level 5 and co out unscathed.
Beside him, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue simply nodded, not continuing the conversation. Awakened abruptly, they could not continue to stay here and quickly set off towards the distance. As their speed increased, they still didn't sense any human presence around, nor any rustling of wind or grass, even after being awakened.
Xiang Tian glanced at Wang Zhan before asking, "We've walked so long and haven't found anything unusual. Could you have been dreaming from sleeping too heavily?"
Wang Zhan just chuckled and replied, "On top of Snow Mountain, how could I be in the mood to sleep soundly? I need to stay vigilant, so it certainly wasn't a hallucination. I definitely heard soone nearby."
"Could there be soone else around?"
"Could it be survivors from the camp?" Luo Xue promptly asked. "After all, they might be wary of encountering enemies and not dare to show themselves."
Xiang Tian, at her side, nodded. "I think that's possible. After all, we encountered many things in the fifth war zone. Back then, we were like frightened birds, afraid to show ourselves even when we saw our own kind, all for fear of beasts discovering our tracks."
"No," Wang Zhan said. "I could feel that the figure I detected earlier is not simple. And for him to easily evade my detection? That's no easy feat. After all, even though there are level 4 Demonic Beasts near Snow Mountain, I can handle them easily. Soone who can evade my search wouldn't be ordinary. Why would they still need to hide?"
"This is strange. Why is he hiding from us?" Luo Xue asked curiously from the side.
Wang Zhan shrugged. "Who knows? But one thing's clear: if he feels the need to hide from us, he can't be up to any good." He added, "We just need to stay alert. We are still unfamiliar with the situation here; even a slight carelessness could lead to trouble."
Both of them nodded. This was no longer the fifth war zone. It was the Star War Battlefield, full of danger—a fact known to all. Everywhere they went, they had to be extrely cautious. This Snow Mountain before them was especially eerie, and they had no idea what would happen when they reached the top.
"Don't worry, Brother Wang," Luo Xue said, smiling with her arms folded. "We'll always follow closely behind you, and we won't hold you back this ti." eting Wang Zhan again, Luo Xue's and Xiang Tian's spirits were much lifted. Anyone would feel that with Wang Zhan around, they wouldn't encounter any trouble.
Xiang Tian, at the side, also nodded in agreent. "But we must first improve our cultivation. Only then can we avoid truly becoming a burden to you."
Wang Zhan didn't mind, chuckling and remaining silent. After all, improving one's cultivation isn't a simple task. If it wasn't for the System's advantage, how could I have advanced to the Martial Saint Realm in such a short ti?
But this also depended on the Star War Battlefield's advantage. The System enabled him to gain vast experience by continuously fighting demonic beasts stronger than himself, thereby improving his cultivation. However, as Wang Zhan's cultivation gradually improved, the demonic beasts he encountered also beca increasingly powerful. Defeating these formidable demonic beasts naturally brought many benefits, and his cultivation improved much faster.
Of course, Wang Zhan knew very well that at this rate, his cultivation would increase trendously and quickly. He would have to face increasingly more formidable demonic beasts. Moreover, the challenges he would encounter after leaving this plane would be far beyond comparison to the demonic beasts here. This was a huge advantage for Wang Zhan.
After exchanging a few brief words, their earlier worries dissipated. With Wang Zhan around, even if the sky were falling, he would be able to handle it.
However, just as they took a few steps, Wang Zhan stopped again. He turned around swiftly, drew his Deep Fire Blade, and struck down heavily towards a tree not far away!
CLANG!
With a loud sound, the tree crashed to the ground, and several Fire Dragons appeared out of thin air. Clearly, Wang Zhan was intent on killing.
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue were puzzled. When they looked at the spot Wang Zhan had attacked, they were stunned.
At that mont, several Fire Dragons were being blocked by a level barrier. It seed the person who released this level barrier matched Wang Zhan's cultivation level. Otherwise, how could Wang Zhan's Fire Dragons fail to easily bring him down?
"Brother Wang, this person is quite powerful. Do you need our help?" Xiang Tian and Luo Xue both looked at Wang Zhan. He and the other person were clashing fiercely, and they wondered if they could offer so small assistance.
However, Wang Zhan rely waved them away and shouted sternly, "You two stay back! This person is extrely formidable. I don't want you to get hurt."
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue obediently nodded. After all they'd been through, Xiang Tian was no longer as rash as before. He understood that acting impulsively might not be helpful and could instead cause more trouble for Wang Zhan, so it was best to follow Wang Zhan's instructions.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation!"
After Xiang Tian and Luo Xue moved to the side, Wang Zhan quickly rose and roared. The Deep Fire Blade flew into the sky, landing in front of the level barrier in an instant.
However, even when Wang Zhan used the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation, he still couldn't break through the level barrier.
"Who would have thought we'd run into such a formidable opponent just after our reunion?" Luo Xue clenched her fists, her face tense.
Xiang Tian just shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Haven't you noticed the expression on Wang Zhan's face? He doesn't seem to care at all. That ans he still has a trump card. So, I guess even though this person is formidable, he probably isn't a match for Wang Zhan."
Having been with Wang Zhan for so long, Xiang Tian had gradually co to understand him. Just from Wang Zhan's expression, he could often discern what Wang Zhan was thinking.
Luo Xue timidly asked, "Really?"
Xiang Tian didn't explain further, his gaze already fixed on Wang Zhan and the other figure.
BOOM!
With a loud explosion in the sky, the outco was apparently decided.
The Deep Fire Blade was suddenly knocked from Wang Zhan's grasp, and he unconsciously stepped back a few paces. However, it was clear Wang Zhan wasn't significantly affected.
Not far away, the man's level barrier also gradually disappeared. As they saw the figure standing behind where the level barrier had been, their faces turned ashen. Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, in particular, instinctively recoiled, their eyes filled with terror.
Wang Zhan frowned slightly. How could I have ever expected to run into Luo Tianhong here again?
Indeed, the man standing before them was Luo Tianhong. He stood with his arms crossed, looking at them with narrowed eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Luo Tianhong walked step by step towards Wang Zhan. Xiang Tian quickly rushed over, grabbed Wang Zhan's arm, and said urgently, "Don't believe a word this guy says! Since you can fight him to a standstill now, we'd be better off leaving first."
Luo Xue also hurried over and nodded in agreent.
Luo Tianhong, arms still crossed, said, "Well, well, you two ungrateful brats. Have you forgotten who got you out of the ruins in the first place?"
"Even though you got us out," Luo Xue retorted irritably, "you only did it in exchange for Brother Wang's life! Otherwise, why would you have been so kind as to help us?"
"You two are certainly interesting," Luo Tianhong said. "What do you an, Wang Zhan exchanged his life for yours? Isn't he standing perfectly fine in front of you right now? He didn't die, did he?"
As he spoke, Luo Tianhong's gaze settled on Wang Zhan. Then, he slowly asked, "I am rather curious. How did you suddenly co back to life?"
Luo Tianhong was extrely confident in his own abilities. Back then, he had delivered a killing blow to Wang Zhan and had even examined Wang Zhan's body. He was certain that Wang Zhan had indeed died in the ruins. Yet, to his utter surprise, Wang Zhan was now standing before him again. It was truly baffling.
Wang Zhan glanced at him coolly. "That has nothing to do with you. Tell , why have you been following us?"
There was no longer any fear in Wang Zhan's eyes; after all, he could definitely fight Luo Tianhong now. Even if I use all my trump cards, Luo Tianhong might not be my match.
"What do you an, 'following you'?" Luo Tianhong said with a smile. "I was rely following the location of the ruins."
The color drained from Wang Zhan's face. He glanced instinctively at the summit of Snow Mountain. "You an there are still ruins on top of Snow Mountain?"
"Otherwise?" Luo Tianhong replied. "I told you long ago, I lingered in this plane to find all the ruins on it. Did you think I would waste my ti here for no reason?"
Wang Zhan kept his eyes fixed on Luo Tianhong, who didn't appear to be lying.
The next second, a gleam flashed in Wang Zhan's eyes, and a smile spread across his face. "Since we've cooperated before and entered a ruin together, how about we cooperate again?"
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue turned to Wang Zhan in shock. "Brother Wang, have you gone mad?"
