Luo Tianhong rely shrugged indifferently, not minding Wang Zhan's words at all. His gaze swiftly landed on Xiang Tian, and he promptly asked him, "If you have ti to bicker with
here, you should first check on your brother's condition. Just be careful he doesn't kick the bucket here."
"Let
tell you in advance, if we want to open the Seven-star Barrier, it will require the combined effort of four people. Just you and I alone are absolutely not enough."
Seeing his attitude, Wang Zhan's expression turned ugly again. He had never expected Xiang Tian to be so severely injured. Luo Tianhong's indifference was one thing, but his continued focus on the Seven-star Barrier was downright infuriating.
Nevertheless, Wang Zhan didn't bother arguing. He swiftly moved to Xiang Tian's side to assess his injuries, asking urgently, "How's your condition? Can you hold on?"
"Don't worry, this small injury won't kill ."
Xiang Tian laughed it off nonchalantly, but his face was deathly pale. Even Wang Zhan could see that Xiang Tian was currently enduring intense pain. It was just that he was too proud to voice any complaint.
anwhile, Luo Xue stayed by Xiang Tian's side, constantly looking after him. Worry was clearly written on her face.
"If that's the case, we can rest here for a while. Don't worry about the Seven-star Barrier," Wang Zhan said with a smile. He knew Xiang Tian's temperant – the type who disliked being a burden to others. If Xiang Tian knew they had delayed opening the Seven-star Barrier because of him, he would undoubtedly feel terrible.
Even though Wang Zhan had made all the arrangents, Luo Tianhong impatiently approached them, saying, "Who has ti to waste here with you all? If we can't open it, then let's just part ways."
"Fine. No one's holding you here. If you want to go, then leave now." After casting a glance at Luo Tianhong, Wang Zhan turned his face away, clearly having no intention of engaging with him any longer.
Xiang Tian coughed heavily, then, supporting his body, got up Xu Xu. "Brother Wang, I can still hold on. Let's focus on opening the barrier first."
Xiang Tian knew very well why they were here. Continuing to waste ti would only make him feel worse. After all, he knew that Wang Zhan never wanted to stop his progress, yet he had already delayed Wang Zhan more than once due to his own condition, even causing him to halt his steps.
"What are you talking about?" Wang Zhan rolled his eyes, then walked over to pat Xiang Tian's shoulder. "It's just one ruin. We don't even know what's inside. And aren't you worried we might enter it and never co out again? Your situation might be a warning for us. Maybe it's better not to go in after all."
At this, Luo Tianhong burst into laughter. "Are you kidding? Who here doesn't know what you're like? I've spent the most ti with you recently. You're soone who would risk your life for cultivation! Would you really give up the treasures within these ruins?"
Not only Luo Tianhong knew this, but Xiang Tian was also very clear about it. After they entered the fifth war zone, Wang Zhan had always stayed with Xiang Tian. Although they might not have understood each other completely, Xiang Tian had gained a certain degree of insight into Wang Zhan.
To Xiang Tian, Wang Zhan was indeed the type of person who never wanted to stop his progress. So how could he possibly give up on the barrier right before them?
Previously, when they were in the Hundred Beast Mountain, Wang Zhan had even risked everything to venture into the Earth Core to obtain the Deep Fire Blade. That determination was beyond their imagination. Even now, recalling it made Xiang Tian shiver, a wave of lingering fear washing over him.
"What's with all this nonsense from you?" Wang Zhan cast Luo Tianhong an annoyed glance. "If you don't want to stay here, then just get lost. Do you really think the Earth will stop turning without you?" He had been trying his best to ease Xiang Tian's mind, but Luo Tianhong kept spouting useless drivel. Wasn't this just adding to Xiang Tian's psychological pressure?
One should know, Xiang Tian was critically injured. Although Xiang Tian hadn't said anything, Wang Zhan had been constantly monitoring his condition.
Luo Tianhong just laughed it off and then spoke again, "Fine, since you're prepared to part ways with , I won't waste any more of your ti."
Luo Tianhong shrugged indifferently, then prepared to leave, once again adopting that carefree deanor from before.
However, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue's expressions changed instantly. After exchanging a glance, Xiang Tian imdiately spoke up, "Wait! Weren't you the one who said we just need the four of us to open the Seven-star Barrier? Relax, I can still hold on. After helping you open the Seven-star Barrier, I'll stay here to recover."
Luo Xue also chid in, "That's right. Once the Seven-star Barrier is open, you can enter the ruins with Brother Wang. Don't worry, Xiang Tian and I will stay here and definitely won't hold you back."
Luo Tianhong was taken aback, then a satisfied smile spread across his face. He'd never imagined these two would be willing to do so much for Wang Zhan. Indeed, the bonds between mortals were truly fascinating.
"Alright, seeing as you're both so sincere, I'll give you a chance," he said.
Luo Tianhong walked step by step towards the Seven-star Barrier, then waved to the three of them. "If you want to open the barrier, then stop wasting ti and co over."
Everyone exchanged glances, but Wang Zhan remained motionless. Xiang Tian, who was beside him, laboriously made his way over. Clutching his chest, he patted Wang Zhan's shoulder and said, "Right now, we need to improve our strength. Among the three of us, your strength is the most formidable. So, if we enter the ruins, even if Luo Xue and I have so encounters, our improvent won't be much. You, on the other hand, might receive a great opportunity. So you absolutely mustn't waste this chance."
"But…" Wang Zhan was deeply moved. He knew Xiang Tian was pushing himself, all for his sake.
However, before Wang Zhan could speak, Luo Xue had already walked to his side, taken his arm, and said, "Brother Wang, it's alright, don't worry. After we open the barrier, Xiang Tian and I will stay here. You don't need to worry about anything. Besides, didn't Luo Tianhong already say? This barrier is easy to open; it just needs a few people to act simultaneously."
"Besides, with you by our side, we have nothing to fear." Xiang Tian also nodded.
Things having reached this point, even if Wang Zhan still wanted to refuse, he no longer had a reason. He cast a grateful look at Xiang Tian, then walked towards Luo Tianhong.
Luo Tianhong muttered, a detestable look on his face, "Tch, clearly set on finding a way to improve your cultivation, yet still acting so high and mighty. Sigh, you living humans are truly exasperating."
"You!" Wang Zhan glared fiercely at him. He had already made up his mind. The mont his strength surpassed Luo Tianhong's, he would definitely teach him a harsh lesson. Even if he didn't kill him, he'd beat him until he was spitting teeth.
"Alright, alright. Since you're ready, let's not waste any more ti. Hurry and do as I say."
Luo Tianhong walked to one side, then pointed to a spot at his feet. "Luo Xue, you stay here."
Luo Xue obediently walked to his side and sat down.
Luo Tianhong then moved again, finding two more positions and beckoning to Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian respectively.
The two exchanged a look and could only do as Luo Tianhong instructed. After all, they had to follow Luo Tianhong's commands for everything; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to enter the ruins at all.
Soon, all four were in position. Luo Tianhong had also found his spot. He ford hand seals, and dazzling radiances appeared around him. The next second, that radiance shot directly towards the Seven-star Barrier before them.
Wang Zhan and the others exchanged glances, all seemingly in shock from the scene before them. At that very mont, Luo Tianhong said in a deep voice, "What are you all standing around for? Attack together! Smash the light screen in front of you!"
Following Luo Tianhong's command, everyone unleashed their full strength, fiercely smashing towards the light screen before them!
This ti, however, the light screen didn't reflect the damage as it had before. Instead, strange patterns appeared upon it, gradually spreading out like a spiderweb.
With a loud CRACK, the Seven-star Barrier instantly shattered, and then streams of brilliant light filled the sky.
"It worked!" Luo Tianhong clenched his fists excitedly, a smile playing on his lips. "I knew that with everyone working together, we could definitely open the Seven-star Barrier's level barrier! Soon, the entrance to the ruins will appear. We must quickly find a chance to enter!"
"Brother Wang, then you and Luo Tianhong go in. Xiang Tian and I will stay here and await your good news," Luo Xue said with a smile, then walked to Xiang Tian's side. In truth, although she also wanted to improve her cultivation, she wasn't overly attached to what was happening before her.
