If it weren't for the System's assistance, how could Wang Zhan possibly be standing here right now? The blow Luo Tianhong had just dealt was enough to claim his life.
However, he had to thank Luo Tianhong. If she hadn't acted, he wouldn't have triggered the System's hidden capabilities, nor would he be standing before everyone now.
Wang Zhan advanced slowly toward Luo Tianhong, clenching his fist.
A Fire Dragon swirled around his palm. Wang Zhan then abruptly lifted his fist and smashed it directly toward Luo Tianhong's chest.
Luo Tianhong retreated quickly, but Wang Zhan was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he was face to face with her as his fist descended.
"BANG!"
Under the blow, Luo Tianhong imdiately stumbled back several steps.
Then, to everyone's shock, Luo Tianhong suddenly spat out a thick mouthful of fresh blood, and her face turned deathly pale. Clearly, Wang Zhan's punch was no re show; it had deeply wounded Luo Tianhong's foundation.
Luo Tianhong stared darkly at Wang Zhan, her voice low as she said, "I never imagined you, bastard, could beco so formidable. This is utterly absurd."
This was the second ti. She had already failed twice to kill him. She had never imagined that not only would Wang Zhan survive her attempts, but he would also enhance his cultivation, growing stronger each ti. How was this possible?
She had dominated the Star War Battlefield for many years, yet she had never heard of such a bizarre occurrence.
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes, then raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and said lightly, "You don't need to know that much. Just rember what you said: today is the day we settle things."
"We've been entangled for too long. It's necessary to determine who is superior. Today, either you die, or I live."
As he spoke, Wang Zhan once more soared into the air. Raising his Deep Fire Blade above his head, a Fire Dragon once again began to rampage across the sky.
Luo Tianhong's expression changed. She was already severely wounded, and Ju Tian'en was watching nacingly from the side. Naturally, she didn't want to continue wasting ti with Wang Zhan here.
In an instant, Luo Tianhong shot backward, shouting coldly at Wang Zhan, "I'm telling you, this isn't over! I will co back to settle scores with you later!"
Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"You should first worry about how you're going to escape today."
While speaking, Wang Zhan was already beside Luo Tianhong. Then, he swung down the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, striking her again.
It had to be said, Luo Tianhong was indeed extrely formidable. The constitution of a demonic beast was also extrely astonishing. Under the heavy blow of the Deep Fire Blade, although her expression changed slightly, her aura showed no signs of disorder, and she continued to flee into the distance.
Witnessing this scene, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue both gasped.
"Why is it that every ti Brother Wang survives a brush with death, his combat power greatly increases?" Xiang Tian wondered aloud, then mused internally, "Could it an that one must face death to achieve a breakthrough? I've co up with a brilliant idea!"
His eyes lit up. He glanced at Luo Xue beside him and quickly said, "Why don't you use all your strength to attack ? It would be best if you could beat
to the brink of death."
"I want to see if I can be like Brother Wang and find life in death!"
Luo Xue rolled her eyes at him and muttered peevishly, "Do you really think just anyone has Brother Wang's abilities?"
"I was just kidding! Why are you so serious?" Xiang Tian said with a laugh.
Instantly, the atmosphere lightened considerably.
After all, Wang Zhan could now completely suppress Luo Tianhong, so they naturally didn't need to worry about anything.
Luo Xue then continued, "I advise you not to entertain such ridiculous ideas. If you want to improve your cultivation, you must rely on your own daily hard work and practice. And look at what Brother Wang has been through. Perhaps he gained so enlightennt during his battles, which led to his breakthrough. After all, when he was rely a Grandmaster, he dared to challenge a level 2 demonic beast. But what about you all?"
Hearing this, Ju Tian'en, who was standing nearby, quickly walked over to them and asked, "Are you saying Wang Zhan could fight a level 2 demonic beast when he was only at the Grandmaster level?"
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue nodded emphatically.
They had witnessed all of this with their own eyes. Even they had been extrely shocked at the ti. For many, such a feat was terrifying.
Fighting opponents of a higher level was tantamount to gambling with one's life. The slightest mishap could result in death on the spot.
And Xiang Tian, picturing Wang Zhan in battle, felt a surge of worry. After all, it seed Wang Zhan went through a life-and-death struggle every ti, always fighting to his limit. He constantly got injured, repeatedly battling demonic beasts stronger than himself, and through this, he continuously improved.
Nevertheless, he was a figure who commanded admiration.
After all, they had never seen a second person with such audacity.
"I never expected Mr. Wang to be so ruthless. Truly admirable."
Ju Tian'en nodded, a look of gratification on his face. It was a pity that such a talent wouldn't stay in Tianxiong City forever. If that were the case, Ju Tian'en wouldn't have any worries at all.
After all, Ju Tian'en was at the end of his rope. He knew very well that he didn't have much ti left. Therefore, he had to find soone capable of managing Tianxiong City in his stead as soon as possible. Otherwise, once he passed away, Tianxiong City would beco a new battlefield. Demonic beasts would definitely not miss such an opportunity and would imdiately attack Tianxiong City, and the citizens within Tianxiong City would beco holess.
High in the air, the battle between Wang Zhan and Luo Tianhong was finally drawing to a close. With an angry roar from Luo Tianhong, the battle on the field finally concluded.
Luo Tianhong's figure was sent flying backward, then transford into a streak of light and vanished before everyone's eyes. A look of distinct regret appeared on Wang Zhan's face.
After all, he was now capable of contending with Luo Tianhong. But if he didn't seize this opportunity to eliminate Luo Tianhong, once she got away, encountering her again would surely lead to another fierce battle. Sadly, although he had already stepped into the Human Peak realm, he still couldn't kill Luo Tianhong, allowing her to escape.
This was truly infuriating.
Wang Zhan returned to the crowd, looking at the corpses on the ground, his eyes slightly moist.
He sighed, then said with a frown, "I failed to protect everyone."
The people around him exchanged glances and then spoke one after another: "Mr. Wang, you've already done more than enough. This is all Luo Tianhong's fault."
"Yes, if it weren't for you, we would all be corpses by now."
"Besides, we saw everything you did. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have suffered such injuries and even nearly..."
They had indeed been worried earlier, especially since it had looked to them as if Wang Zhan had died.
In truth, Wang Zhan himself had also thought he had no chance this ti. However, he never expected that, in the nick of ti, the System would upgrade again, resulting in a rapid boost to his power. Otherwise, how could he have so easily overwheld Luo Tianhong?
During this period, Luo Tianhong had been continuously absorbing spirit bodies from the ruins, and her strength had been increasing by leaps and bounds. The gap in strength between her and Wang Zhan had grown ever wider. Therefore, it was no easy task for Wang Zhan to eliminate her.
"Alright, stop chattering."
Ju Tian'en's face was pale. Clutching his chest, he waved at the crowd and said indifferently, "Quickly clean up the corpses in the vicinity, then return to your hos and pack your things."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their puzzled gazes falling upon Ju Tian'en.
"City Lord, why do we need to pack our things?"
"Yes, Tianxiong City is our ho. Are you planning to make us leave?"
"No matter who leaves, I won't! My ancestors have all lived in Tianxiong City. Even if I die here, I will not take a single step out of this place!"
One by one, everyone began to voice their agreent.
After clutching his chest and coughing violently a few tis, Ju Tian'en's cold gaze swept over everyone's faces.
"I will say this one last ti: hurry ho and pack your things! Don't make
say it again."
"I'm at the end of my rope; I no longer have the ability to protect you. If you remain here, you'll only be courting death."
"Have you not considered your own fate when the demonic beasts invade Tianxiong City again?"
At this, everyone's expression changed, their eyes gradually turning red.
"City Lord, are you telling the truth?"
In their eyes, Ju Tian'en was like a god. But now, Ju Tian'en was severely injured and might even pass away. How could they possibly accept this?
Ju Tian'en nodded heavily, his gaze grave.
"Do you think I would joke about sothing like this?"
In fact, the crowd had already noticed troubling signs from Ju Tian'en's appearance. After all, Ju Tian'en had always appeared before them radiating might and prestige. But this ti, his face was as pale as paper, which naturally made them worry.
Everyone lowered their heads, saying nothing more.
The atmosphere also grew considerably heavier.
Ju Tian'en waved his hand at the crowd impatiently and said, "Hurry and leave! Go ho imdiately! Don't be an eyesore here."
"Moreover, I have so matters to discuss privately with Brother Wang."
Everyone hesitated for a mont before preparing to leave.
However, the next second, Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Perhaps... I can help you survive?"
