Wang Zhan's expression darkened further. Sitting up straight, he grabbed Xiang Tian's arm and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll chop you to pieces right now!"
"OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!"
Wang Zhan's grip had landed right on Xiang Tian's wound. Xiang Tian's face turned pale with pain. He tried to pull his hand back but couldn't. He glanced at Wang Zhan and pleaded, "Can you show a little compassion? Don't you see I'm seriously wounded? Are you treating
like this? Have you forgotten what my father told you before we left? If you don't rember, I can remind you!"
"My father asked you to take care of , and I heard you promise him! You even promised that if anything difficult happened, you would take
with you imdiately, didn't you?"
"This..." Wang Zhan was stunned. It would have been better to ignore the remark, but the question made him snap. He flung Xiang Tian aside. Wincing in pain, Xiang Tian grimaced, but Wang Zhan paid him no mind. He walked over to Xiang Tian and said, "So now you rember your old man's words? Back then, when the situation was so dangerous, I tried several tis to get you to leave. How did you act then?"
"But nothing bad happened, right?" Xiang Tian scratched his head, smiling sheepishly.
Seeing his expression, Wang Zhan glared at him and continued, "If Luo Tianhong hadn't shown up in ti, do you think we could have left here today? The Xuanlong Beast's power was astounding, not to ntion the giant demonic beast. Even with Bai Yu and the others, we were no match for those two beasts. Plus, there was a horde of other beasts eyeing us malevolently. If Luo Tianhong hadn't intervened, it would have been difficult for us to escape unscathed today."
Thinking about the day's events, Wang Zhan sighed again. If my own combat strength were stronger, I wouldn't need to rely on Luo Tianhong. Even if I encountered the Xuanlong Beast and the giant demonic beast, so what? But the reality isn't like that. My own combat strength is indeed quite fragile, to the point of being incapable.
"Alright, let it go. Since it's over, let's not talk about it. Anyway, things are fine now, nothing happened, and that's enough!" Xiang Tian grinned at Wang Zhan, clearly not wanting to continue the topic. He knew Wang Zhan ant well for him. But I also don't want to always hide behind others and be protected. After all, I'm a red-blooded man, and already an adult. As soone from the fifth war zone, I also need to do things for the fifth war zone. I have to admit, Xiang Zhanfei's actions were indeed rather selfish, but I can understand him now. After all, as a father, how could he not want what's best for his son?
Not far away, Luo Xue approached with a smile. Her cheeks were also quite flushed, likely from drinking a fair bit of wine. However, with nothing left to worry about on the defence, she could relax. The number of beasts they had defeated today was beyond their expectations. Presumably, these were all the beasts that could be mobilized from the vicinity of the fifth war zone.
This ant the fifth war zone would undoubtedly enter a period of peace for so ti. They just needed to focus on peaceful developnt.
"I was just looking for you two. I didn't know where you'd gone. I didn't expect to find you two hiding here chatting secretly?" Luo Xue ca over smiling. After this fierce battle, she seed to have changed quite a lot. In a few steps, she reached Wang Zhan's side, sat down next to him, and continued, "So, what are your plans? Everything in the fifth war zone has been settled. I believe you won't continue to stay in the fifth war zone, right?"
Actually, anyone could see that Wang Zhan is an ambitious person. He only ca to the fifth war zone by coincidence. Now that there are no more challenges in the fifth war zone, Wang Zhan naturally won't stay here. Thinking this, a hint of detachnt appeared on Luo Xue's face.
Wang Zhan hesitated for a mont, then looked at Luo Xue and said with a smile, "This isn't my ho, so I won't stay here long. After I escort you all back to the rear, I plan to speak with Xiang Zhanfei and bid him farewell. As for the position of War God, I'll give it directly to Xiang Tian. After all, he has beco a man who can shoulder his own responsibilities, and his performance in this battle was outstanding."
Wang Zhan wasn't joking about this. He had seen everything Xiang Tian did. He had to admit, Xiang Tian had indeed matured most, far exceeding his imagination. His rate of growth even seed much faster than his own. It was just a pity his cultivation was still sowhat lacking. However, if Xiang Tian continued to work hard, his cultivation level would also increase quickly, and there would be nothing to worry about.
"Are you really planning to leave?" Luo Xue lowered her head, hesitated for a long mont, then said softly, "I have an impertinent request. I don't know if you could grant it."
"No." Wang Zhan responded instantly, without a second thought.
"But I haven't even told you what I want you to do for
yet! Why did you refuse so quickly? Is it because you dislike ?" A troubled look appeared in Luo Xue's eyes. Thinking of Wang Zhan's attitude, she almost burst into tears. Ever since I t Wang Zhan, I haven't wanted to be separated from him. Although I know my strength would only hold Wang Zhan back, I still want to do my best to stay by his side, even if it's just to do small things for him or be a little follower. That would be enough for .
"Everything I do is for your own good. You'll understand later on. Being with
ans endless battles, a tiring life. And as a girl, it's better for you to live a more peaceful and comfortable life. Although the laws of survival on the Star War Battlefield are cruel, for a girl, there's no need to adapt to them."
"You just need to stay by the side of those close to you every day, and you can live a happy life. Wouldn't that make you most happy?"
"Besides, who wouldn't want to be with their family?"
ntioning family, Wang Zhan realized he had misspoken. Sure enough, when he turned back, he saw an unhappy expression on Luo Xue's face.
She seed at a loss for words, her head bowed. Wang Zhan's resolve was too firm; nothing she could say would change his mind. Even if she declared she wasn't afraid of the dangers ahead, Wang Zhan likely wouldn't believe her.
"You're so heartless!" Xiang Tian suddenly interjected. "Don't you know her only relative is dead? On the entire Fifth Battlefield, only Uncle Qi remains as her family. She has no one else. If you abandon her too, she'll truly be alone for the rest of her life."
"Also," Xiang Tian continued, "since you're planning to leave, you can say goodbye to everyone else. But rember not to say goodbye to , because I'm planning to leave with you."
"You?" Wang Zhan grinned. "Stop fooling around. I imagine your father won't let you leave with
either. And he knows what you'll face in the future if you go with . This isn't a good thing for you; you might lose your life soday and not even know how."
Everyone had seen Wang Zhan's desperate fighting style. He had no interest in fighting weaker beasts. Instead, he specifically chose beasts stronger than himself, as if to constantly stimulate his own potential. This, however, was rely how it appeared to outsiders. Wang Zhan himself knew very well: I simply want to use powerful demonic beasts stronger than
to continuously temper the System, thereby raising my own cultivation.
"I'm all grown up now. I don't have to follow my father's arrangents for everything. And perhaps you've guessed wrong this ti. My father should be quite willing for
to stay by your side. If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have warned you back then to take
away at all costs if an unexpected situation arose, even if it ant disregarding everyone else around you," Xiang Tian stated directly.
Luo Xue, beside them, looked curiously at Xiang Tian, as if she had heard sothing terrible. I never expected Xiang Zhanfei to be that kind of person, she thought.
However, all of this seed justifiable to Wang Zhan. After all, Xiang Zhanfei is a father; naturally, he has to consider Xiang Tian.
"Alright, let's discuss future matters later. We'll make a decision tomorrow when we reach the rear camp. As for whether to take you two with
or leave you here, let
think about it."
Leaving this remark, Wang Zhan headed towards the defense line. After so many great battles, he urgently needed to rest.
Since everyone was extrely happy, most of the people on the defense line were drunk. Even Bai Yu had collapsed on the ground, drunk. Wang Zhan, however, casually returned to his military tent and fell asleep.
「The next day」
When he woke up, it was already broad daylight. Everyone had already packed their belongings. However, even though no beasts were currently invading, they still needed to guard this defense line.
